@fortuitoushost didn’t ask but is getting tessa gray !
she finds her husband in the library after calling his name for at least five minutes without an answer. of course, these calls were made in no more than loud whispers so as not to wake the infant that tessa had assumed was sound asleep in his bassinet, but was now faced with the peaceful image of both james and his father sharing a rest together on the loveseat. he had been a surprise --- their little one --- the question as to whether or not some thing one like her could even have children was made even more complicated considering tessa was the only one of her kind. and though her heart swells at the sight before her, and she is reluctant to wake him, there are certain things that cannot wait.
❛ will------ ❜ it’s a whisper as she crouches beside where his head leans deeply down against the arm of the seat, her hand coming to rest on his shoulder. ❛ ------i’m afraid nap time must come to an end, we are expecting company. ❜
