Prologue
L held her hand as she screamed in agony yet again, he hated to see her in pain but at least he could be thankful that it would not be in vain and after it was all over they could hold their adorable new born child in their arms. A hint of a smile etched onto his face and she smiled back at him, he brushed her light brown hair back from her drenched forehead and looked into her shining green eyes, even like this she was so beautiful, he lent forward placing a short but passionate kiss on his lips before pulling back as she released another painful cry, he saw her eyes widen as pain gripped her and the machines beeped signalling something was wrong, his eyes widened in terror as he looked to see what was happening.
The sheets were soaked in blood and the nurses and midwives were in frenzy "what is it, what's wrong?" L asked breaking his usual monotone, one of the nurses turned to him "the baby's almost out but your partner is hemorrhaging badly, we're trying to stop the bleeding" the nurse replied softly giving L a sympathetic look. He looked at Lucinda as she gave him a sad smile "take care of our baby" she whispered weakly, L shook his head sadly "you're going to make it, don't say that" he replied hoping what he said was true, the nurses told her to push again and she did weakly before her face went still frozen in pain "the baby's out" the nurse said wrapping a towel around the small bundle and handing the baby over to L, he smiled at the little baby in his arms and turned to his love, her face was pale and her eyes were closed, his eyes widened and he took her cold hand into his, the nurse walked over to him with a sad look on her face "we're sorry sir but we couldn't save her" she replied as someone lifted the sheet over Lucinda's face, L horrified clutched at his wife his body wracked by silent sobs, one of the women pulled him away and escorted him out of the room and into another one where the baby was placed in a small bed. He was told that the baby was a girl and that she had to be checked to ensure she was healthy, upon finding out his little girl was he was then told he could take her home in two days.
Taking his beautiful girl home two days later L was still sad about losing the love of his life but glad that his little girl had avoided the same fate.
