have_no_mercy: (far away)
It was a long night - very long - but it's over now. At least, this part of it is. The truly hard part has only just begun. That isn't going to stop Tess from attempting to enjoy the relative quiet time she has these couple of days in the hospital, even if she feels like she's just been hit by a mack truck. Repeatedly.

The baby is finally here. A little girl; her daughter and isn't that incredibly weird to get used to. Everything had gone well and as expected. Of course Ryan had been there, Tess knows she has George to thank for that, but they'll chat about it later. He'd been... helpful, she supposes, and appeared happy with the result.

For now, Tess is alone, resting in her wonderfully private room, the baby asleep barely a few feet away. She can't help but glance over every few minutes, half out of an innate paranoia that the girl may no longer be there and half out of surprise that she is. It's a good thing she's already used to not getting enough sleep.


[[OOC: Open visiting post! Anyone and everyone who might conceivably want to see Tess and the new baby are welcome to tag, Twitter and BNW verses alike.]]

Zod gives her a slight shrug in return. "But you specifically pegged me as someone who would."

"Ah." Zod slowly gets to his feet. "You do realize how long it's been since I've held a baby, don't you."

He comes to a stop over the baby and looks down at her thoughtfully. "Some things aren't meant to come back to you."

Zod glances up at her briefly. "Maybe I don't want to know."

Date: 2010-10-09 07:44 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
Well, now he mostly just looks amused. "I am?"

Date: 2010-10-09 07:53 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
He'll try for one regardless. "Why?"

Date: 2010-10-09 08:22 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
"That was a long time ago," he tells her softly. "And as I'm sure you can imagine, my attention was often demanded elsewhere."

Zod considers Tess for another moment before turning his attention back down to the baby as well. "I'll do what I can."

Date: 2010-10-09 08:49 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
"I'm sure you have people better suited for that." He glances up at Tess again, and oh, look, the amusement's back. "But then, I'd be able to do it really, really fast."

Date: 2010-10-09 09:18 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
He lifts his eyebrows at her. "Did I?"

Date: 2010-10-09 10:31 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
Zod shrugs. "Well, you didn't laugh, so it must not have been a very good one."

Date: 2010-10-10 01:41 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] kneel-majorzod.livejournal.com
"I don't think that would be a good idea." And he's being semi-serious now. "Using my abilities in such close proximity to something so delicate hardly seems prudent."

He shakes his head absently, staring down at Alice again. "Crushing her would be like crushing a dried leaf."
