Eve really didn’t waste any time in creating that family she told him she wanted. He was only 1 month old when she told him she was pregnant with their first. Adam was still to new to see the signs of betrayal already present. The speed at which She was already showing a bump. The secret meetings with a dark haired man. The reluctance to explain things to him yet. But she created him for that reason. She loved him. So Adam trusted her completely. For now.
He did his best to please her. To learn everything he needed to know, for when they welcomed their first child to the world. Although Adam didn’t know it wasn’t eves first child and it wasn’t his first either. What Adam was told and what the facts were, were vastly different.
9 (7) months went by faster than he could have imagined! He wasn’t allowed to be present at the birth. No place for a man he was told. He waited outside the room, pacing back and forth. Playing with the thread on his shirt. Ruffling his mop of brown hair. Biting his nails till they bled. Then he heard it. The soft mewling sound of a baby, stopped his pacing and his thoughts. Filled his chest with an emotion he was unfamiliar with up until that point.
The First time he saw the tiny little creature, wrapped up in blankets he couldn’t quite believe his eyes. Skin like ivory against hair as gold as the sun itself. When Adam stepped into view, Her eyes turned from murky green to a bright gold. Her skin came alive with a soft orange glow, like flame dancing over her.
Her name is Felicia, eve told him. She’s a Phoenix. Adam already knew about the Phoenix, eve had taught him what he needed to know about their baby. She was eves creation after all.
Adam took to fatherhood like a fish to water. Fliss was always calm and content in his arms. He was never far away from her and Eve during those first months. Caring for mother and daughter best he could. Often ignoring his own needs in favour of holding fliss. Singing her to sleep when she was unsettled, rocking her in his arms to ease her nervousness. He could sense that sort of thing. It’s in your nature eve explained.
He was built for this. For caring and supporting his kids. Putting their needs above all else. Something that would be tested over and over in the coming centuries.
