when the white winds blow [ota]

WHO: Sansa Stark
WHERE: around the settlement, hospital, her home
WHAT: THE BABY IS HERE
WHEN: May 6-May 9
WARNINGS: n/a




001. labor

The baby keeps Sansa awake more often than not and today is no exception. She wakes well before dawn and simply starts walking. Walking is the only thing that eases the pain in her back these days and so she makes her way in circuitous loops around and around the livable and workable areas of their settlement. She goes toward the hospital, the agriculture center, back around to where she lives and when she's done it once, she does it again.

The pain gets worse and worse as the day goes on, bad enough that she has to sit for long stretches and just grind her teeth to bear it. She knows her son will be coming soon but she has no idea how soon. She knows her lady mother labored for two days with Rickon, after all, so this might take an age. It's only when she feels that she's relieved herself without trying that she imagines it's time to actually go to see Altair. There's someone near her, thankfully, so she calls out to them.

"Help? I believe I may actually be having my child and I need to get to Altair. Immediately."

002. hospital

Delivering children is a messy, painful experience. Even though she's in good hands with Altair and having Wanda and Tyrion calms her, it's still something she hadn't been prepared for until it had truly started happening. She has an easy labor though, from what she can tell, and when her son comes into the world she thinks everything was worth it. James Kit Lannister comes into the world screaming endlessly and there's no question he's a healthy boy.

Sansa's brow is still damp with sweat and she knows she looks a fright but as soon as the child is clean and swaddled, he's in her arms where she can soothe him and love him. She has some experience with babes, considering she'd been old enough when Rickon had been born to fancy herself a proper little mother, but it's different when it is one's own.

His mouth is full and the wisps of hair on his head are reddish blonde. She has no idea if he'll turn Lannister gold or her own Tully red but he's beautiful all the same. His eyes are dark and Sansa imagines they'll turn blue, as hers are, but there's no telling with a babe this small.

She never wants to let him go.

003. a party

Once she's home and feeling much better, Tyrion plans a party so anyone might come to see her and James and wish them well. It's a small affair, given what little they've found in the way of edible and attractive food, but Sansa is glad for it all the same. To announce it, she announces in a video over the network and the child has a starring role as he fusses in her arms.

I would like to share the arrival of my son, James Lannister, and invite anyone who wishes to come to a small party that Tyrion and I are having. We would love to have you.

"Sounds fair enough," Cal nods. "And I don't think having some other things to wear would be a bad idea in general. A definite change from digging through boxes and finding abandoned ponchos, huh BeeDee?"

The little droid emits something of a twitter, perhaps his version of a laugh.

Cal laughs as well. "Well, maybe not around here. Back on the planets we've explored, that's where a lot of my equipment would come from. Old caches, forgotten storages." Maybe not too different from here.

"Have the Agrii tried providing clothing?" That's the first he's heard of it, although he supposes he shouldn't be surprised.
out_of_order: (heard that before)

"Yeah, I think I can see that." They'd try, but it seems that some things just don't quite translate in terms of concept, for some reason.

Cal nods, grinning. "Hey, makes sense to me. And it's something to do."

The padawan's eyes drift towards the baby at that, his smile quirking. If Sansa hadn't been busy before, he can definitely see how she will be now.

"It only seems natural, I think, offering to help others, help each other, especially under the current circumstances. And roughing it alone when there are people in the same position just doesn't make sense."
