sihtric cradled one of the two newborn babies in his arms; his twin was asleep against his wife's chest as she hummed a tune. neither had a name yet, and the couple was basking in the sight of the beautiful children. the eldest, the one sihtric was holding, whined softly as his hammer pendant chilled the tiny hand. the boy had his mother's fair-colored hair from what sihtric could see, but his eyes were the most vibrant green he had ever seen. his gaze softened when he came to a realization.

the youngest twin had tufts of dark hair along his head, the first of the five children to take after his father's hair color. he had hazel eyes like his mother's and one of his sihtric's, which was a perfect mixture of the two.

"that means more than you know, genie," he then looked down at the son he held. "ragnar, he should be called ragnar. they share the same eyes, i believe he lives on through our son." gene choked back a sob as she nods. she had the most understanding and supportive husband to exist, and she would love him for the rest of her, even in death.
