Eris is a girl dad pt 3
Okay, so I guess I am doing a mini series because I have so many thoughts! So here is a discussion of your newborn babes!! Also formatting is being weird, so sorry about that
Eris is absolutely fucking thrilled to have two twin girls!
The entire autumn court was shook to find that the high lady had given birth to two beautiful baby girls, but the celebrations lasted for a month!
they were born in October, and it becomes a month of celebration for centuries to come to celebrate the birth of Marwa and Twila
These babes are spoiled from the day they were born OMG, immediately, Eris is insisting that tailors make them beautiful matching dresses for any possible occasion
and of course, the high lord insists that the same dresses be made for his beautiful perfect wife
Eris is the best fucking father, he is literally so helpful and caring.
The male does not let you get up in the middle of the night unless the babes need to be feed
The moment one of his girls lets out even a whimper, he is flying out of bed to check and make sure they are okay
immediate skin to skin contact so the babes can feel the warmth from their papa and also get used to his scent
Eris whispers little stories and lullubies his mother used to sing to him, and the babes calm almost instantly
they are already used to papa’s voice because he used to talk at your stomach constantly during your pregnancy
While you enjoy motherhood and love your babes with your entire body, heart, and soul, Eris makes sure to remind you that you are your own person outside of being a mother
and he makes sure that you have time for yourself, whether that is taking a long bath, getting your hair done, reading in the library he had built for you on your 100th anniversary
The male is always happy to look after the babes, and damn, he does an amazing job doing it.
Weaponized incompetance who? 🫡😮💨
While the babes are still newborns, Eris makes sure he visits throughout the day, even if he is busy with his duties, the male is constantly checking in and holding the babes, pressing kisses into their temples
Lucien, of course, is also there to help and is the best uncle ever. The babes love him
Without any doubt, Eris is the most protective father of his newborn babes. He has ordered is hounds to stand guard wherever the babes are.
outside the nursery? -- obviously
anytime you take the babes on a stroll? -- without question
the male is highly paranoid, and you would do anything to soothe your husband and mate, so you agree to let the hounds follow you
There are also spies Eris has ordered to be constantly watching the babes out of sight
There is no length Eris would not go to protect his two perfect girls
Every night after the babes are put to sleep and you are in bed, Eris is thanking you as he holds you close to his chest, murmuring praises and gratitude into your hair
You usually fall asleep together, but if Eris remains awake, he will sneak out of your arms to check on the babes
Usually both are asleep, and Eris is able to go back to bed content that his babes are safe and happy
Sometimes, Marwa, the eldest, is quietly staring up at him, curious and wide awake.
Eris assumes it is because the babe is too excited at the new world around her to sleep
Twila, the youngest, usually falls asleep and stays asleep until she is hungry or uncomfortable
Eris will take Marwa out of her crib, cuddling her close into his chest, and lesuirly strolls around the house he had built for you once he killed Beron.
He talks to her about everything (anything he can think of really)
the weather
the constellations that night in the sky
his hounds
His mother
His brothers, especially his two youngest who are his favorite
he mostly talks about you
“You have the most perfect mother Marwa”
“Don’t you ever worry about anything, Papa is here to protect you always.”
“I will never let anything happen to you”
“If you ever want anything, just tell me okay? I promise, I will get you whatever you want”
“Boys have cooties okay Marwa? So you are not allowed to talk to them until you are at least 500 years old”
“Never grow old my beautiful babe, let papa hold you in his arms forever”
AND SHE JUST STARES UP AT HIM, EYES WIDE WITH CURIOUSITY, LISTENING TO HIS MUSINGS LIKE THE PERFECT GIRL SHE IS
she listens until she falls asleep
these are some of Eris’ favorite moments with his little girl
Don’t worry though, Eris is absolutely bonding with his youngest, Twila
While Marwa is the quieter and calmer of the two, Twila is her perfect compliment
Twila is always cooing
making the cutest freaking sounds that you and Eris swoon over ugh I cannot ‼️
She is a wriggly babe, an escape artist if you will
she will find a way to get her arms out of her little swaddle
her tiny fingers constantly grabbing at your and Eris’ fingers
her fist knocks against your chest as you feed her
her tiny feet are constantly kicking at the air
she just has so much energy
While Marwa is content resting with you as you read your book during afternoon tea, Twila is quite restless
Eris is constantly taking her out into the gardens and forest that surround your home
letting her feel and see the world around her
He is telling her his life stories as he walks around with her...
and its like she can understand, because the babe coos back her responses to her papa
He is taking Twila to the stables, introducing her to all his horses, hounds, and practically any animal he can find
So Marwa is the quiet, content, calm babe and Twila is the loud, curious, and restless babe
but they are so easy
they are the best babes for you and Eris
the newborn stage was something you were warned about, “you are not going to get any sleep” they said
but gods, you and Eris are the best partners and parents
these babes are the most happy and content babes anyone has ever seen
In terms of looks...
Marwa is your exact copy… Eris likes to say that she is a mini you, and gods does he love it
she has your eyes
She has your nose
She has your hair color
the only thing of Eris’ she has, is her wavey hair
Twila is really a perfect combination of you and Eris
she has your eyes
she has Eris’ auburn hair and waves
she has your lips
she has Eris’ nose
Eris is so fucking excited to see his babe has his hair color I cannot
The newborn stage is incredibly fun for you and Eris
you are watching your babes grow and learn how to be alive.
and you and Eris are there every step of the way, supporting and loving them unconditionally
even if they poop through their daipers onto Eris’ shirt as he holds them
his horrified look he gives you makes you laugh for a couple minutes
like until you cannot breathe
literally gasping for air kinda laugh
like you are laughing even after the moment has ended because you keep remembering the look on his face
even if they leave spit up on your favorite dress
less funny to you
And mother above, the smirk Eris gives you is so smug, you almost want to smack it off his face
but Eris promises to buy you a hundred more
he may also whisper, “Papa’s proud, do it again” at his perfect babes
just because he wants to buy you more dresses
and maybe cuz he likes to tease you a little
