Chapter 1: The Family
Silver cried out as pain over-whelmed her body. She wanted this baby out of her body and quickly.
Will stood at her side, holding her hand."Push Angel, push."
Silver nodded weakly and pushed hard but stopped to catch her breath. She felt so weak and in so much pain. She didn't want to die like all the other mothers in child birthing, she couldn't do that to Will, or to their child, but if that did happen...
Will laid her head against their intertwined hands,"You can't leave me Angel, I-I can't live without you." she whispered.
"Will, promise." she breathed tensing up as another wave of pain washed over her. "Promise me... If I do die..."
Will looked at her, pain in her eyes."What?"
"Promise me, Will..." She begged weakly. "Promise me that... that you'll look after our child, until... until they are grown." she said in pain.
Will shook her head, tears falling from her long eyelashes. "That is a promise I can't guarantee I will keep."
Silver's head fell back as she breathed slowly. "Please Will. I don't want them to live like Selvaria and Alice did when they were growing up. I... I want them to at least know one of their parents." she said softly as tears fell from her eyes. "Please, Will." she begged softly.
Will let a few more tears fall before she nodded,"I promise."
Silver cried out as she pushed again and harder than before when she felt the baby come out and fell back breathing heavily.
Will's eyes brightened a little as she helped the mage cut the cord and wrap the baby boy up in a blanket."Oh Angel, he's beautiful." she whispered, looking down at Silver.
Silver breathed heavily as she looked at her lover and tried to sit up only for the mage to keep her down. Tears welled in Silver's eyes as she reached out to hold her son. "L-Let me see him." she said weakly.
Will nodded and kissed the baby's head before handing the baby to Silver.
Silver smiled as she held her baby boy. He had Will's dark hair and looked a good amount like her too. She smiled and saw the baby open his eyes and look at her making Silver smiled. "What do you want to name him?" she asked Will her gaze never leaving her baby boy.
"I don't know." she whispered, sitting down on the bed next to her."What do you want to name him?"
Silver looked at her and smiled looking back at their baby. "William. I want his name to be William." She said softly.
Will nodded and kissed her head."William it is."
Silver smiled and leaned against her lover, looking very tired.
Will picked up the baby from her arms,"Sleep Angel, I'll take care of William and I have a gift for you when you've got your rest."she said standing up and winking at her.
Silver smiled weakly and lied down closing her eyes sleep welcoming her.
