Babel Novel
Chapter 1209
The baby's face was so tiny! Her cheeks were pink and wrinkled, her little fists clenched, and her mouth slightly open.
The more Nina looked, the more she fell in love.
She couldn't help but think back to the day Orion was born. She had fought so hard to bring him into this world, only to have him taken away after a brief glance and be told that he had died. Five years...
This time, she was determined to raise this child herself.
"What should we name her?" Nina asked Nash, though she already had a name, Grace York, in mind.
As she whispered the name softly, Nash kissed her forehead. "How about we give her your last name instead?"
"Really?" Nina was surprised. It was still more common for children to take their father's last name, and only recently had it become more accepted for them to take their mother's.
Nash smiled. "When have I ever lied to you? What about naming her Nira Walker?"
This child was a gift from the heavens, a chance for them to make up for the past.
Nina repeated the name softly, nodding. "I like it."
Then she thought of Orion. "I never asked who chose his name. Was it you or your father?"
Sighing, she added, "Isn't it too late to ask now?"
"It's never too late," Nash reassured her. "You never gave up looking for him. You never believed he was gone. You've been through so much for this family. Ever since we returned to Birkham, you've been holding us together." Nash's heart ached for her. He knew all she had done for their family.
Suddenly, he changed his mind. "No, we can't name her Nira. It sounds too similar to your name. How about Gemma Walker instead?"
Orion's name was inspired by the stars and the moon. Gemma would be their precious treasure.
"Perfect," Nina agreed.
When Nina was moved from the delivery room to her own hospital room, Pharaoh was already there, waiting with Orion.
The moment he saw his
granddaughter, he was
overwhelmed with emotion. It had been so many years since he had held a newborn in his arms. Even with Orion, there had been regrets. At one point, he had almost hurt Nina and Orion himself.
Holding his tiny granddaughter carefully, his voice trembled with emotion. "This is my granddaughter. Do you have a name for her yet? If not ve got a few suggestions."
Nash smiled. "We've named her Gemma Walker."
"Gemma Walker, with Nina's last name?" He was surprised.
Nash nodded.
The name was settled, and was official.
After all, it was Zion Walker who had given Nina her name when he adopted and raised her. Without Zion, there wouldn't have been a chance for them to reunite.
In the grand scheme of things, names were just labels. Who would even know what their ancestors were called way back when?
"It's a beautiful name," he said with a smile, placing a small, handcrafted charm around his granddaughter's neck. "Micah and Freya will be here tonight."
They had informed Micah and Freya about Nina's due date, but with the responsibilities of Yaren Tribe, they could only make it today.
Little did they know, Nina had given birth earlier than expected.
Micah and Freya were still on the plane, unreachable for now.
"Get some rest," he said gently. "I'll take care of my granddaughter."
He planned to take the baby to a separate room so that Nina could rest properly. After all, childbirth was exhausting, and she needed all the strength she could muster Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
