"Isn't six children a bit much? I just gave birth to Auriel, how can you be so certain that I'll be a good mother?"
[I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN YOU. YOU ARE A NATURAL. PLUS, YOU HAVE A GOOD MAN BY YOUR SIDE. AND HE HAS EXPERIENCE. DID I MENTION THE STRAYS?]
"You mentioned it."
[GOOD. WELL, I WILL LEAVE YOU TO YOUR ROMANTIC MOMENT. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON THE BIRTH. AURIEL IS PERFECT. 10 OUT OF 10. WOULD RECOMMEND.]
The screen flickered and dimmed.
Lin Yue huffed, this was outrageous.
They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, hands still clasped.
Then Uriel spoke again. "I love that you named him Auriel. Can I ask how you thought of it?"
Lin Yue smiled. "He was born at dawn. After two days of labor, the sun was finally rising through the windows. And I thought... new day. New beginning. Dawn. Auriel." She paused, her smile softening. "And also... I found out your name means light. Dawn is when the light returns. So you know, it kind of pairs well."
