"And I Don't Know When I'll See You Again." Violet @ Daphne! @strxngertogether

"And I don't know when I'll see you again." Violet @ Daphne! @strxngertogether

"Mama?" It wasn't like her mother to speak this way, especially because Daphne tried to spend time with her family of origin as much as possible, she wanted to raise her own children the way she was raised, surrounded by family.

"What brought all this on?"

Her arms ached from doing compressions for so long without a break. But she hadn't stopped, and Graham was alive, thank God. The doctors said it was some kind of sudden cardiac event, that should have killed him, but he had lived sort of a medical miracle.

Catching sight of him waking up, Emma moved to his side from the uncomfortable plastic chair she'd been sitting in.

"Graham, hey. Look at me, you're okay, don't move too much okay? They had to put in a ton of IVs and I don't want you ripping them out."

Send Me 👣 For My Muse's Reaction To Holding Mine And Your Muse's Child For The First Time Violet @ Edmund! Maybe Anthony or Hyacinth? @strxngertogether

Nineteen years ago he'd held their first son and heir for the first time, that had been one of the greatest moments of Edmund's life, a new chapter and a fresh start.

But just because baby Hyacinth was baby number eight didn't make her any less precious.

If anything his recent brush with death made this moment just as special.

Violet had fallen asleep so when their newborn fussed Edmund got up to tend to her.

He hadn't been able to hold Hyacinth when she was first born, he'd been too poorly. So this was the first he'd been able to hold his youngest.

Shushing gently, Edmund sat down on the edge of the bed, whispering to his daughter so that he wouldn't wake his exhausted wife.

After a few minutes he felt Violet stir.

"I got her... she's perfect, Vi."

"She certainly is, a very sweet girl, I don't know if being the diamond would make her happy though. Francesca is very private I don't think she'd enjoyed being made a spectacle." Kate said with a soft smile, besides one did not necessarily need to be the diamond to find their match.

Kate hadn't.

"Hm. So many suitors in Lady Danbury's drawing room." Kate smiled, she had come to England to find Edwina a match, and yet somehow found her own.

"But despite all that, I wouldn't change a thing about last season, it got me this amazing life and family. But if the queen were to choose a diamond, I honestly would not be shocked if it was my sister Francesca."

Gracie rolled her eyes and was about to shoot back another retort, when duty called.

Jumping into action, Gracie took over the frantic mother an turned to John. Him standing here wasn't going to help anybody or calm down the woman, Gracie could take care of things here while John took care of looking for the daughter.

"You pass on the message to the rescue team, I got her."

"And in all the time you've been asking me out, have I ever said yes?" She liked John well enough, and she knew people often dated people they met through work.

"I've been a little too busy lately to date."
