It's a girl!

Dear Diary,

It's a girl! Morgana was born late last night, she is so perfect and so cute it almost makes me want one! Almost. Augustus, her older and slightly pernicious brother, reminds me why I really don't. Felicity is doing well, resting, the birth had gone off without a hitch. I have heard that if you have one, the second is easy. Felicity told me I was full of...something no lady would repeat. I'll not hold it against her then as she was in a bit of discomfort at the time.

I do not think Maxwell is especially pleased with a girl. He's never been comfortable around young children, and I think he fears Morgana might end up like Mareena. He and Felicity have decided to renew the contract for another year and I am glad. Children should not grow up without a mother. I think since Morgana is a girl, Felicity might find her contract renewed until the girl is companioned herself.

In the meantime, Maxwell bought himself another slave, one he calls "toy." Scandelous and a dreadful name I know. I do not much care for Toy, she is a little snotty and has very little sense of decorum. Faboo tells me she is a first rate "bitch" and tells me plenty of stories about how she has set herself up as the favorite and even has been caught trying to usurp some of Felicity's duties! Once Felicity is off her feet, that will swiftly change I assure you. But for the meantime, she is busy with the baby, so certain things have to fall to someone else. Better a slave then another free woman! That makes it six slaves that Maxwell owns; five female and Faboo.

But Morgana for now is only an infant, and beautiful and perfect at that. I wanted to hold her forever! But she had to eat and so I had to give her back. I still have that new baby smell on my robes. Life is so wonderful!
