"It's a boy!" exclaimed the housekeeper. "A very fine boy he looks like…would you like to hold him my lady?"

"Yes, I would very much like to hold him." as eager Selena reaches for her new son.

"My lady" the housekeeper began, "why is the father not here? Does he not care for his new child?"

"I don't know where Morzan is," started Selena. "but if I know him, he will be here soon."

Selena began to nurse her new child. Even though she knew that he would come, she still wondered where he was.

"I am going to wait until he comes to name the child." said Selena all of a sudden. "I want him to be honored with a name that his father chooses."

"As you wish my lady," said the housekeeper very softly.

All of a sudden, they great doors opened, and the empty space between the doors was filled with a tall rugged man, that had not eaten food, or tasted water in many days.

"Morzan!" exclaimed Selena. "You are here!" At once, she tried to get up to see him, but she remembered that she was holding his son; she would fear that she would drop him. She was also still weak from the birth, so she restrained herself.

"Selena" Morzan slowly breathed as he entered the room where his wife lay. "I am sorry that I was not here…I was delayed; but the story can wait. I am here to see you and the child." Then he ran from the doorway to the bed, and kissed his wife.

"Let me see the child," said Morzan, "but first, get me a chair and a loaf of bread with a tall mug of water"

Imminently, the housekeeper left there presence. Morzan bent down again to kiss his wife.

"I have been needing that kiss for a very long time. The weather has been most cruel to me, and my enemies have been after me."

"My dear, why are you always gone, to come back like this, with nothing gained?" asked Selena, full of curiosity.

"Because my dear, I have pledged my allegiance to forces that I wish not to talk about to you, but I promise you my dear, I am fighting to keep you, and our child safe and away from harm." said Morzan with great compassion. "Now, speaking of our child, have you decided a name?"

"No, I have not" breathed Selena, weak with exhaustion. "I have been waiting for you"

"I thank you, Selena." exclaimed Morzan. "That honors me greatly. I was thinking of some names on my way back…but I just couldn't decide; but I have finally concluded with Murtagh."
