FIND ON A03
-over the nine months Aelin is Pregnant Rowan is super protective of her. he does everything for her and at first she hated it and then apreciate it once she could barely see her feet over her belly.
-they decided they were going to name their child after Aelin's parents. evalin for a girl and Rhoe for a boy. This was Rowans idea to honour her parents and their sacrifice and when he told her she broke down crying.
-The nursery is all set up, painted Terrasen Green with White mountains. Rowan Does everything. He spent all morning putting the crib together. he refused any help, saying that it was his job.
-Rowan accidently put the Crib together wrong and it fell apart. laughing Aelin and everyone else helped put the nursery together. Aedion helping Rowan with the crib. Rowan was a little pissed but was glad for the help.
-Lysandra brought so many gifts Aelin felt so spoiled. Her entire nursery was filled with only the best and newest things for the baby. Including a stuffed toy of a ghost leopard she got customly made. To protect their child.
- Rowan likes to Watch Aelin read by the fire, a hand strocking her severaly swollen belly as she sips tea and reads her book. sometimes, he swears he hears her reading to the baby when she thinks she’s alone. every time it melts his heart, knowing how good of a mom she's going to be.
-one night Rowan wakes up to Aelin standing by the window, looking over Her kingdome.. he asks her what's the matter and she confesses that she is beyoned terrified about being a mother. he hugs her and tells her that they will figure it out together and that she'll never have to do it alone.
-Everyone stays at the castle in orynth a week before Aelins due date that way they wont miss it. Everyone is excited, Especially Aedion Who will be an uncle.
-Rowan and Aelin make Aedion and Lysandra the godparents of their child. Aedion cries and says it will be the biggest honour and will protect the child with his life. Lysandra also cries and hugs Aelin before treating her to a spa day
-Aelin keeps doing work even while heavily pregnant. she says that her kingdome won't wait even if their queen is With child. Rowan insists she slows down but stubbornly she waves him off.
-she waddles all around the castle. The pressure on her back made it hard to walk but still she pushed through. Some days she was in so much pain but still she pushed through.
-She never let anyone see her in pain, even Rowan who asked her all the time how she was feeling. Though he could see past all that and see how much pain she was actually in.
-One day During the middle of the night Aelins water breaks everywhere on their bed.
-Rowan is Imedietly awake, running For Yrene. Everyone else comes rushing out of their rooms at the commotion asking if she's alright.
-Yrene examines her and tells her she still has a while to go. Everyone stops in once and awhile and asks how she is. Rowan stayed by her side the entire time.
- later that afternoon Dorian and Aedion offer to sit with Aelin so Rowan could have a break to go eat something and bathe since he'd been by her side since her water had broken early that morning. He refused, snarling at how they would think he'd leave his mate and Queen while in labour. Aelin tells him it’s alright and that he could go since they still had awhile.
-The labour was slow. Aelin had many painful contractions and each time Rowan was by her side, letting her squeeze his hand. he hated seeing her in pain.
-Rowan used his wind to keep her comfortable and each contraction he damped her face with a wet towel. Constantly reminding her how beautiful she was or what an amazing mother she’ll be.
-it was late evening when Yrene had checked over her and informed them it was almost time for Aelin to start pushing. Rowans heart raced as he held his mate and kissed her on the forhead. telling her, he would never, ever leave her side.
-so Aelin pushed and pushed and pushed. Rowan held her hand through the whole thing. he made sure a breeze constantly covered her so at least through the pain she'd be comfortable.
-Aelin never screamed or showed how much pain she was in. she constanly kept a brave face. Rowan admired her for it, holding her tight through each contraction.
-Finally Yrene Yelled at Aelin for one last push. Focusing all her energy, She gave a large push.
-A large wail filled the room. tears streamed down both Rowan and Aelins face as yrene joyously announced “its a girl! You have a daughter”
-Yrene handed the baby to Rowan as she checked over aelin.
-Rowan sobbed as he observed their child. "She's beautiful" He exclaimed. the baby with White hair like his and the Ashryver eyes like her mother. small pointed ears that were smaller than his finger. chubby little hands and toes. He could stare at her forever and never bore.
-Rowan hands Aelin their daughter. she cries over her daughter and welcomes her into the world. Evalin marion Elentiya Whitethorn Galathynius. each part of her name an important part of her mothers life.
-After the birth, Aelin slept while Rowan rocked their child. He held his tiny daughter in his arms as he sung her lullabies and told her stories about his past.
-Rowan has never loved anything this much in his life. His sleeping wife and mate, their gorgeous daughter who resembled the both of them perfectly.
-when Aelin has the strength to see people she let's them come in, a few at a time.
-Aedion Lysandra and Evangeline went first. Each of them Sobbing as they looked at Their godchild. Lysandra laughs and tells Aelin how spoiled their daughter is going to be and how she will never go a day without knowing love or comfort like Aelin and she experienced. Aedion is speechless, a stream of tears falling down his face as he held his niece and goddaughter. Evangeline Gives Evalin a kiss on the forehead before leaving.
-Next was Elide and Lorcan. Lorcan mainly kept to the back of the room as Elide hogged Evalin, crying when she heard that her middle name was named after her mother. She thanked Them both and Confessed that her mother would have loved to be here, along with Evalin and rhoe. Aelin thanked Elide for everything. She has done. Lorcan clasped Rowan on the back congratulating him.
-Dorian and Manon brough gifts for the baby. A Red and Gold baby blanket. a symbol that their child will always have a place in Adarlan. And Manon gave a beautiful dagger… “just for decoration” Aelin laughed. When they left Aelin swore she heard Dorian stifle his tears.
-chaol and Yrene were last. Yrene gave the babe a full check to make sure she was healthy. Chaol congratulated both of them, a large smile across his face. he told Aelin how glad he was to meet her. he also informed them that he passed the news to nesryn and Sartaq who were away on their honeymoon.
-after all that, finally they had time to themselves. to love and adore and drool over their newborn baby. Evalin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-A year later Evalin is just like her mother. already walking she has her mother's spirit and determintion. She has Rowans lethal calm. when upset she never goes into tantrums but staring at her parents like she wants to murder them.
- her entire family spoils her rotten. She knows that if her mummy and daddy said No, she’s simply go to uncle Aedion and Aunt Lysandra.
-they would sometimes visit Adarlan. Eva loves running around, and playing with her uncle Dorian. The guards all protect her, making sure nothing happens.
-she loves music and some nights the only way she can sleep is if her father sits with her while her mother plays the piano forté. Rowan would stroke her hair as Aelin played beautiful songs.
-her Auntie Lysandra loves dressing her up. she has a special seamstress just for eva, who makes all her gowns custome for her. Like Her mother, Eva loved pretty things. Her auntie spoils her rotten, sometimes too much.
-Her mother still sings her old terrasen lullabies even when she grows older and insists she is to old for songs. But still it never stopped her from falling asleep soundly.
-Evalin inherited Aelins passion for books. For her birthday Her uncle Dorian gifted her so many books that Rowan and Aelin built her,her own small library where she could go and read.
-she also inherited Rowan’s wind power. The first time her power showed she was so scared but Rowan was smiling, his heart secretly breaking as her daughter trembled.
-It has happened in the library, her wind flew all the books off the shelves. It’s scared her because she thought she’d get in trouble. He tells her that she would never get in trouble and teaches her how to use her magic appropriately.
-when Evalin grows old enough she helps people in orynth. her Aunt Yrene teachers her about healing and her parents teach her about her duties as princess of terrasen. they never stifle her or tell her she can't, only that she can.
-she cares about her kingdome deeply and everyone in Terrasen adors princess Evalin marion Elentiya Whitethorn Galathynius daughter of the queen and king of terrasen

Nyx is having trouble sleeping and his uncle is able to save both Exausted parents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Nyx, darling you must sleep” Feyre Hushed her crying son. Both she and Rhys had been running back and forth into their sons room for the better part of the night. It had been a rough night. Usually, Nyx was a great sleeper but tonight he was just not having it. They had already read him three stories, gone Potty, and sung him multiple lullabies multiple times, And each time they would close his bedroom door he would start to cry.
Both Feyre and Rhys were Exhausted.
Rhys had suggested that he just Cry it out, But Feyre refused.
“we are not leaving our crying child to cry alone” she hissed at him. Giving an apologetic shrug, Rhys dragged a hand through his hair.
“Nyx sweetheart lay down for Mummy” Feyre Begged, But He just shook his head. A Headache starting to set in She gave a sigh, Grabbed her two-year-old son, holding him in her arms.
The only thing she could think of to calm him was to walk him around. she paced the entire room. She had paced it about eight times before She tried to place him back in his crib.
TRIED, being the key word.
He barely hit the mattress before he started crying again.
“Ugh…. Nyx you really need to sleep, mummy and daddy need sleep as well”
So again, she picked up her son and didn't even bother pacing before going straight out the room and into the study.
Rhys was sitting at his desk when Feyre entered. practially asleep before nyx giggled “Daddy”
“Hello my son. What are you doing up terrorising your poor parents” Rhys Yawyned as Nyx walked over to his father. Picking him up Rhys bounced him on his lap. Feyre sitting down on the sofa.
“What should we do, he won’t sleep” She yawned.
"I don't know" Rhys admitted.
“Rough night?” came a voice from the doorway. Cassian stood there, watching Rhys, beaten and exhausted, bouning their son on his lap and Feyre, who had her face cupped in her hands in exaustion.
“Won’t sleep. We’ve been trying for Three hours but no luck” Feyre Groaned from the sofa.
“Sounds like his father, doesn’t want to miss anything” He chuckled, walking over, taking Nyx from his brothers lap.
“Uncle Cass!” Nyx laughed.
“What are you doing up my Illyrian warrior?”
“No sleep” He Yawned but still playing with the red siphons on his hands.
“Let me try” Cassian Offered His high lord and Lady.
“Oh… Cassian we couldn’t possibly” Feyre protested but Cassian shrugged and gave a large wolfish smile. “Nesta is with Gwyn and Emerie at their book club. I have nothing else to do, please. He is my nephew after all”
Behind his desk, Rhys thanked his brother Before Cassian left, Nyx in his arms.
"We're going to make this up to him" Feyre spoke from the couch.
"oh of course. " Rhys gave a sly smile. Feyre grabbed a throw-pillow and threw it at her mates face.
"i mean it. he didn't have to do that. he's our son-"
"and he's family" Rhys intergected. "Come, let's get to bed. we'll probably be up all too soon, Cassian pounding on our door when Nyx has a dirty diaper or shouting Nyx bit his finger" He laughed.
Feyre gave a light chuckle before they made their way to bed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the sun shone when Feyre awoke, warmly in bed next to her mate. giving a large sigh she turned over to stroke her mates broad chest. stopping before her hand ever reached his chest that's when she noticed...... it's quiet.
flinging herself up from the bed, blanket and sheet's falling on the floor, Rhys gave a grunt.
Feyre was flinging herself into some clothes.
"What is it?" He said grogily from the bed.
"It's almost Nine and Nyx hasn't made a sound. when has he ever done that?" She said.
Cassian had put Nyx to bed. Everything had to be fine, Cassian loved that kid like his own. everything was ok, she reassured herself.
"Enjoy it" Rhys mumbled before turning over, falling back asleep.
"Prick" She hissed before she left the bedroom.
when she got to her sons room, she opened the door to have her heart flooded.
sitting in the rocking chair, covered in blankets was Cassian. on his chest laid Nyx, fast asleep.
And that was the moment Feyre Realised how lucky she was to have such a great and loving family.
