Topic: What is the best present you have ever given someone else?

She's sleeping in my arms.

Her name is Serenity, and she's just two months old.

She wasn't planned, but that only makes her more special, because she came to us when we weren't looking. She came to us and became she knew we would see her as the most wonderful, beautiful thing in all the world.

I can still remember how I felt when I realised I was pregnant with her. I was shaking, beause, yeah. Hello. I wasn't expecting...I mean, I knew I loved Bliss and I kind of thought I wanted to have babies with him. I wasn't sure how that would work, him being a God, and well...okay, I could see and talk to the God of my world, but that was hardly the same. I really didn't even know if I coul have children with him because...because I'm a mere mortal, and he's a God.

Carrying the baby in my belly, that was something I can't even put in to words. It was...amazing. Even when I felt so sick I couldn't get out of bed without feeling weak and nauseous, I knew I was right where I needed to be. Loving her, nurturing her, bringing her to life.

When she was born, wings and all, and I saw Bliss hold her for the first time...

Okay. I've gone about this all wrong. I think I answered "What is the best gift you've ever been given" rather than "What is the best present you have ever given someone else?" Either way, the answer is my baby, my daughter. Serenity.
