"Breath, baby, breathe!" a ginger-haired gentleman told his beautiful, black-haired wife, as she was pushing hard for her children to come out. She was lying in the bed in the Cirque DuFreak Medical Center.

It has been four years since Larten Crepsley and Madame Truska have been married, and now the sexy, voluptuous damsel is starting to give birth to a lovely baby.

Holding on to her hand was the 200-year-old vampire. Kissing her after every push, he encourage the woman that all was well.

After the last push, (and with a loud scream that had come out of Truska's mouth, I might add), the baby had come out. It was a little girl! Her hair was as black as Truska's. Her eyes were black. Bawling, the baby wriggled around.

Truska's eyes were filled with joyful tears. "Oh, Larten," she sobbed. "Our baby, she's so beautiful!"

Larten kissed Truska on the forehead. "Yes, she is, Truska. Ssshhhh, shhh…." He said, soothing Truska and congratulating her for bringing the lovely child into this world.

It was no easy task, undoubtedly, for a woman to do. As Truska and Larten stared happily at the baby, they started to think of a proper name to christen her with.

"Larten, honey," the strong beauty inquired, "whatever do you think we should name our daughter?"

"Hmmmm," pondered Larten. "That is a very tough question. To tell you the truth, I was thinking of a 'Stephanie.' Then, everyone will call her 'Steve,' as a diminutive." But, then, all of a sudden, he started to think of the same young hoodlum who threatened to end his life, just because he declined his offer of turning him into a vampire. "On second thought," he amended his sentence, "scratch that." No son or daughter of the Crepsley family was going to have any memory of the crooked Stephen "Leopard" Leonard.

"Come to think of it," Truska said thoughtfully, "I like the name 'Rachel.' " Then, suddenly, it came to her. The name "Rachel Crepsley" would fit perfectly for the family.

"That's it!" Truska exclaimed. "She shall be christened 'Rachel Eugenia Crepsley.'"

"Very well, then," Larten consented, as he patted the baby's head gently. "Rachel Crepsley, welcome to the family….."
