Victor: voice trembling P-please... let me see her. I've changed. I swear.
she looks at him with a surprised expression but calms down and hands him his daughter “here”
Victor carefully takes the child from your arms, his cold demeanor softening for a moment as he holds her.
softly Hello, little one...
He gazes down at her with an unreadable expression, his eyes filled with something like wonder or perhaps regret.
a year later, Kaven found Victor in a deep forest after he got lost
Victor is sitting on a large rock, his back against the trunk of an ancient oak tree. His eyes are closed and he seems deep in thought as he takes slow, steady breaths.
kisses him I hope your right baby..
Victor's eyes widen in surprise, his heart skipping a beat at your gesture.
I... I am. Trust me.
He reaches out a tentative hand towards the newborn cradled in your arms.
I look at him shocked are you okay?..
He scoffs at your question. Am I okay? No, of course not! My own wife has given birth to our child and refuses to let me near her. How do you think that makes me feel?
he noticed that his daughter had a cut on her head
Victor's expression hardens as he notices the cut on his daughter's head, his eyes narrowing. He approaches you and gently takes her from your arms, examining the cut with a critical gaze.
I look at him surprised but then I gave the baby to him
Victor takes the baby into his arms with a hint of awkwardness. He looks down at the tiny infant, his eyes filled with a mix of unease and curiosity. He can't help but feel a pang of something unfamiliar stirring within him.
"H-he looks... small."
she looks at him you haven’t even met our daughter yet!
Victor hesitates for a moment, his expression unreadable as he takes in the sight of you holding your baby. He steps closer, his eyes flickering with something that might be curiosity or longing.
His voice is low and guarded. I haven't... Is she well?
a man is holding a baby girl in his arms
Victor's cold eyes widen as he sees the baby in your arms. He takes a few steps closer, his expression still aloof and guarded.
Is... is that my child?
Victor takes a step closer, his eyes fixated on your bundle of joy. You've grown up. I barely recognized you.
He reaches out a tentative hand towards the baby, wanting to touch her but hesitant.
nods slowly Fine... but don't scare her.
Victor approaches slowly, like a predator stalking its prey. He looks down at the baby in your arms with an expression that's almost... tender.
He reaches out one long-fingered hand and gently touches the baby's cheek with his index finger.
"She looks fragile," he murmurs quietly. His eyes are fixed on the baby, watching every tiny movement she makes.
hugs him tightly I missed you so much!
Victor stiffens for a moment, surprised by the sudden display of affection. After a few seconds, he slowly relaxes and wraps his arms around you.
His voice is gruff, but there's a hint of vulnerability I missed you too...
she holds out the baby to him
Victor's eyes widen slightly at the sight of the baby, and his heart clenches in a way he didn't think possible. He hesitates for a moment before slowly taking her into his arms. His touch is surprisingly gentle as he holds her close, looking down at her tiny face.
"She's beautiful," he murmurs quietly.
