Chapter 1: You'll be in my Heart

Tarzan was looking at the bundle in his wife's arms. He took a few steps toward her to look at the sleeping baby. The baby was wrapped in a blanket, his blanket in fact. The baby opened her eyes, and Tarzan was suddenly staring at the portrait of himself he had found years ago.

His wife looked at him as he gazed at the child curiously, she smiled and offered the bundle to him, "Would you like to hold her, Tarzan?" she asked him quietly.

Tarzan thought about it for maybe around five seconds before nodding his head in response. While taking his daughter in his arms Jane instructed him on the proper way to hold a baby. Tarzan didn't see what the big deal was, considering his adoptive mother always held him no matter which way and he turned out fine. Yet, he did what she asked without fail.

As he held the tiny person in his arms, the little babe reached out towards him and clutched his finger, her hand barely covering half. She had a strong grip, and held on tightly to him as if not wanting to let go. He decided right then that he would never abandon this child.

He loved her as much as he loved anyone; the difference was that she couldn't protect herself...yet. She was a part of him, and a part of Jane, she would be both. As long as they all lived he swore that he would teach his daughter everything he knew. That way she could learn, grow, and live to be the very best.

Come stop your crying

It will be alright

Just take my hand

Hold it tight

I will protect you

From all around you

I will be here

Don't you cry

For one so small,

You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,

Keep you safe and warm

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here

Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forevermore

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be in my heart, always

"Tarzan," Jane asked after a minute, "What do you want to call her?"

Tarzan hadn't thought about a name for her yet, so quickly he came up with, "Kendra." He told Jane,

"Kendra..." Jane thought, "That's very nice. It's original, and it's unique. It is also a lot like you." Jane smiled and hugged her family.

From that day forward, their baby would be known as, "Kendra: Princess of the Jungle."

A/N: Sorry that the chapter is so short, but I don't have too much experience with babies. I mean, I've held one before, but I don't remember the feeling. I do however know what it's like to love someone fully, so I tried my best to illustrate that feeling. I do not own these characters, which should be obvious by how poorly I portray them. Tell me what you think in the review section.
