I would fall from grace just to touch your face
Edmund babbled, using those very strong lungs to make his presence known as Ray looked down at him, speaking right to him. The Nightshade couldn't help the laugh that bubbled out of her at the sight of her newborn taking to Ray so clearly, blue eyes bright as he flashed her a gummy smile, "You shouldn't. Doubting your queen will lead to nothing but trouble." She quipped, winking at Ray as she leaned into her for a moment before straightening back up, settling against the couch with a sigh. The Nightshade shifted Edmund to lay on his back in her lap, holding onto his hands as he kicked his legs, figuring out his motor skills.
"Oh, we'll be okay. Locke is helping. Which is... It's good. I'm glad he's here, but things are- aren't the best still." She admitted softly, a twinge tightening in her chest at the idea of what this meant. They weren't together. They might not ever be together. Yet they had a baby. This perfect little bundle that they're meant to raise together. The lack of sleep was he least of her worries.
Maeve offered her a tired smile, "That's very kind of you to offer, Ray. Truthfully, there isn't much that comes to mind. Other than needing a bit of a trim." She shrugged slender shoulders, eye dipping down to Edmund as he squealed in delight, happily kicking his legs.
