Ob squatted at the entrance to their bedroom door... Pandora sat between his legs,her back against him; enjoying the slowly breaking beginning of another day. "It is good to feel like for once almost everyone in our world is happy and at peace"... She looks up at Ob as he caresses her shoulders and kisses her softly. " I know, I am forever the optimist... i want everyone to be as happy as I am"... He snuggles her closer to him against the chilly dawn and she sighs "I wish I didn't have to live without you during the day; but our daughter is turning out to be just as unruly as her father... she does keep me hopping when she isn't napping, she still prefers sleeping in mornings and being awake with us at night... tis her nature emerging, isn't it?" Ob nodded against her hair... "She is going to be true gargoyle kith ,I'm afraid".
Pandora laughed softly... "Our little one tests her wings daily when we go out to the garden with Absinthe... my greatest fear is that before we are aware she will rise on her little wings one day. Absinthe is quite strong though, I think she could hold on to Chloe to prevent her getting into trouble....at least I hope so...." Pandora turned so that she was snuggled against Ob's chest; listening to his heart's steady thud as she drifted off to sleep in his arms...
Ob knew when it was time... and he rose and gently carried Pandora inside to their bed... tucking the covers around her without rousing her from sleep... caressing the hair back from her face as he kissed her... he heard her whispered "Ob, I love you"... as he sat again beside the door and faced the rising sun as his countenance turned to the granite-like dragon of Gothic lore.
