The sun sank behind the horizon on Pandora, and the trees swayed their branches as the wind rattled them. Golden eyes stared up at the sky, watching it darken with every single leaf that blew from the tree tops.
The tall creature blinked once, amazed by the twilight appearing. He had been here for years, but every dusk, sunrise, day, and night still seemed like the first.
His small, pointed blue ear twitched and he turned around to see a small female running towards him, out from the bushes. "Jake Sully!" she panted.
The Na'vi leader's golden eyes widened. "What's happened?" he gasped, hoping that this female had not brought ill tidings.
"Neytiri is giving birth!" Jake's eyes widened and he dashed through the trees back to the Hometree, which had been rejuvenated. It wasn't as big as the old Hometree was, but it was getting there.
Neytiri was screaming and gasping for breath as two Na'vi crowded around her and started to comfort and aid her while she gave birth. "Jake!" Neytiri called to her mate.
The leader ran to his mate's side and stayed there, stroking her face slowly and gingerly. "I'm here," he murmured, calmly. "Don't worry."
Neytiri tried to weakly smile at Jake, as a tear rolled down her face, but the pain was overwhelming, and she had to push with all her might.
What seemed like days had passed when a Na'vi held a crying infant in her hands, handing it to the father of the child. "Eywa has blessed you with a male child," said the Na'vi, smiling at Jake and Neytiri.
Jake held his son in his strong arms, looking down at the child lovingly and pressing his forehead against Neytiri's. "What shall we call him?" Jake murmured.
"Atanwyr seems to fit," Neytiri said back.
The female wrapped an arm around Jake happily, pressing her face to his and staring down at her son proudly. "I see you," she whispered to her mate and son. Jake pressed closer to her. "I see you," he said back.
