"I like the name Claire," I said suddenly, looking around to the others in the room to gauge their reactions.
"Claire de Beauregard. It sounds very regal," Geoffrey said, bringing a damp towel to wipe across my brow.
"Very suiting for someone who was of a high station." Clay shrugged, the tiniest glint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Come on, we should give them a little bit of privacy. We're going to go hunt, we'll be back soon." Geoffrey rose to his feet, pulling at Clay's shoulder to bring him along. The vampire grumbled, rising to his feet and following the others out of the room.
Lago sat in front of the fireplace quietly, staring at me and Sebastian .
"Do you like the name?" I asked Sebastian, making sure he supported her head.
"Of course. Claire suits her. I will have to clean the lower rooms, there are toys she can play with."
"That's good. And we can always go out for more things she'll need."
"Thanks to you, my love." Sebastian placed a kiss to my forehead.
"Thanks to Marcus, you mean. It was his father's connections that helped stop the people from coming here," I corrected him. "As soon as the wall they're building is finished, we won't even have to hear them near the castle anymore."
"They could toil on the wall as long as they wished. As long as I have you two in my life, I couldn't care any less."
"Do you mean it?"
"Forever and always. I'll never be happier than I am now."
He lay down next to me, sitting up on the massive pillows behind me as well as gently positioning himself with Claire in his arms. I scooted closer to rest my head against his shoulder, placing a finger in our daughter's open hand. It was beautiful, watching her stir slightly as she gripped onto it tightly.
"She's so beautiful," I sighed.
"Both of you are." Sebastian placed another kiss to my brow as we lay in front of the fireplace, the warmth keeping our perpetually cool skin comfortable. A family. A loving one at that. That was what we had, and no one would take that away from us. No one would bother us again.
