Sabé held the infant in her arms. Her forehead was dotted with beads of persperation, as she had just had the baby. The baby girl lay quiet in her arms, as bright blue eyes gazed up at her.
"She's beautiful." Sabé murmured, more to herself than anyone.

Sabé tore her eyes away from her daughter to smile at her friends. "Thank you." she said.
She looked back at her daughter, sleeping now. She couldn't believe that this tiny infant was hers. A year ago, she couldn't have even imagined being a mother. Now here she was.
The infant slept calmly, her brown curls dangling in her eyes. Her chest moved up and down almost unpercieved, taking in breaths.
"I love you." she whispered to her daughter.
