Years of waiting to make a move had led to this. Months of waiting as her body grew had led to this-- this beautiful, infinitely precious moment where she gets to say hello to her son at last.
She's exhausted beyond belief. She's overjoyed beyond all measure.
She's going to be beaming as she waves her sibling over with a hand.
"Come. Meet your nephew."

"That's quite true. He should know of your contribution to his existence."
Mostly so he doesn't hold back his heart nearly as much as his mother does.
no subject
But the huff in her tone is completely undermined by burrowing her nose affectionately against her sister's neck for a moment. The sigh that escapes her is entirely content as she settles again, reaches a careful finger toward her nephew's small hand to smooth.
no subject
"You've helped us all gain a rather beautiful happiness."
One which is nearly overwhelming as she watches her sister touch her son's skin softly.
no subject
Dark and already handsome--as stunning as both his parents.
no subject
And likely, a fair bit of his mother's, too.
"Although I hope he gets his Auntie's big heart."
no subject
"And not his uncle's temper, I hope."
no subject
"Aslan willing."
no subject
"...congratulations again."
no subject
And she presses another brief kiss against her sister's hair.
"Would you like to hold him?"
no subject
"Really?"
no subject
She's a big girl now-- young woman, really. Susan's confident she can handle this.
no subject
Absolute silence from the overwhelming joy of holding her nephew for the first time.

"Easy, Rilian," Susan laughs softly to her son, a finger brushing against his, "If you wiggle too much you'll scare Auntie Lucy."

"He seems to agree with you."
no subject
"He's a very clever boy. He must get that from me as well."
no subject
And the tiny smile Rilian offers seems to indicate as much, as well.
no subject
It's a distracting little smile, after all. It demands being cooed over.
no subject
It's probably not going to be her.
no subject
Who would, no doubt, adore Rilian just as much as his other siblings, but find the proper strength of will to keep the kingdom from crashing while they celebrated the new prince.
no subject
Because her brother was like her, in that way. Able to put things aside to keep things going smoothly.
no subject
Free to fuss over this perfect little prince.
no subject
And so they will, likely. Particularly when the little prince is so amenable to being fussed over.
