She chuckled, a smile creeping up on the edges of her lips. It was all too easy now to envision Eleanora (and any other future children she may one day have) causing a ruckus all throughout the house. Ben would chase after her, shrieks of laughter would echo around the rooms. Merlin, Melody couldn't wait for that.

"Sleeping through the night sounds like a dream." Melody answered. Despite having a night nurse she still awoke to every chirp Eleanora made throughout the night. Realistically, she ought to have resumed using the silencing charms around her room, but she wasn't quite there yet. What if something went wrong? Or the nurse had hidden nefarious intentions? Melody hadn't gone through a year of hell — nearly losing her life in the process — to lose her infant daughter.

She granted February's request with a small wave. While she didn't particularly enjoy others holding Eleanora, she understood the importance of her daughter being able to be around others without difficulty. Besides, the infant was almost certainly safer in February's arms than the nurse's. "I'm well," she replied brightly. "The illness disappeared almost immediately after birth." Her cheeks were still more sunken in than they were prior to pregnancy, and her waist was as small as it had been the day she debuted. But, she was well and life was wonderful. "She has been the greatest blessing."
