"Elaris… Caelum…" Alora spoke softly, her voice carrying a warmth that filled the quiet chamber.
Broken stilled for a moment, letting the names settle in his mind.
They were beautiful.
And honestly?
There was no way he would have come up with something that elegant even if he tried.
It suited them perfectly.
Alora continued with a gentle smile. "Elaris, a blend of 'Elara' means celestial and 'forest,' symbolizing her forest elf heritage."
Broken gave a small nod, liking the depth behind it.
"And Caelum, meaning 'sky' or 'heavens,' symbolizing his fae nature."
His gaze shifted between them again.
Elaris. Caelum.
"Welcome to the world," he murmured, his voice quieter than usual.
Alora laughed softly, the sound filled with pure joy as she lifted both babies closer to her face and pressed gentle kisses on their tiny foreheads.
Broken watched, a rare warmth spreading through his chest.
For the first time in a long while, he felt truly, genuinely happy.
