332 Chapter 332

"Are you ready, my love?" Alexis asked.

"I'm not sure," I said. "She's still so little."

Alexis kissed the dark curls at the top of our daughter's head. "Tiye is strong enough to travel back to our realm. We've been here a year. Don't you miss home?"

"Yeah, but a year here is only like five minutes in the Above," I said.

"More like a few weeks," Alexis said. "The Ladies are anxious to meet their new niece."

He gently lifted his sleeping daughter, tucking her blanket carefully around her body. She had just turned three months old and was as round and plump as a melon. Her thick, curly hair was sure to be as wild as mine was when I wasn't wearing the plaits that Oni put them in. She looked like us—my brown skin with Alexis' nose and Mona Lisa smile.

Alexis had named her after an ancient Egyptian Queen who was the deity of light. Leave it to him to name his daughter after an angel and a queen.
