HIS memory of her birth still played in his mind even to this day. The pure joy he had felt when his first born daughter came to the world; her most important beautiful birthday of all. Starting out as such a fragile thing, Noctis was a bit hesitate not to mention a bit scared on being a new father. Questions after questions still pounded through his mind, at each parenting skill he had did; was he doing the correct way? Was there truly a right way to raise a child? Not just a mere child like anyone else, but one that had the Caelum family bloodline that flowed through her tiny body. A Princess that was welcome to the world with open arms and showered with love and affection both by the newly parents Noctis Lucis Caelum and Tifa Lockhart. Not to mention their friends they had grown up with and also his father. The next King to be still even asked his majesty; himself about parenting tips. With his father being the only parent that raised Noctis; the raven haired male wanted to do his best on raising the next Caelum line; just like his father did to him. At the hospital ( which a private room was strictly given to the royal family ), every day everyone would stop and see how the little girl was doing. Giving the newborn baby the name of Aya; Noctis could immediately tell that his daughter already looked like Tifa. A mini replica if he had to put it to words. When the time came to bring her home, and the nights turned into sleepless times he never once regretted anything. In fact he enjoyed being a father.
Lacking any sort of proper sleep, in which he didn’t care at all. Simply seeing Aya’s smile, her laugh--anything would make him feel rejuvenated. ❝ I will always be there for you. ❞ he had whispered to the infant’s ear one day. His own smile greeted with her own; a bond of father and daughter that would never be broken. When the days turned into years and the small infant turned into a toddler and soon a first grader; oh how he had wished the little princess would have stayed an infant. Watching Aya growing up was a blessing and with each day that passed by; she became a lot similar to Tifa no doubt. He truly love both of his girls from the bottom of his heart.
When the day came when little dark haired girl stayed home from school due to a small fever she had suddenly received during the middle of the night. Noctis had offered to stay and watch over her while Tifa went to work.
❝ Aya, you know you need to rest to if you want to feel better tomorrow. Mr. Waddles saw you sneaking out. ❞ His voice was cheery and warm, a bit on a teasing side when his right hand was wearing a puppet that she had adored very much. Orbs of blue eyed at the dark haired girl who had managed to sneak down from her room.
