1 - THE FIRST SON

"PUSH!"

The doctor said to Cordelia.. she screams as she gives birth. She breathes hard and sweats.. out side of the delivery room queenie, Kyle and zoe sit in the waiting room..

Kyle gets extremely worried "is she alright?.." Kyle says rubbing his knees..

zoe holds Kyle's hand and gives a warm smile at him... "she will be fine." She says reasuring him.. but the truth was zoe was extremely worried for the supreme..

Queenie interjects "well I mean.. she did lose her mother, a student and husband who happened to be a witch hunter and on top of that finding out your pregnant by that said husband I can't say I blame him.."

Zoe looks up at queenie still rubbing Kyle's back.. "Jesus Queenie! your not helping!"

"She's been through worse is what I'm trying to say!" Queenie said rewording her sentence..

inside the delivery room Cordelia struggles with the birth and she begins to cry..

"I CAN- I CANT DO IT!" Cordelia says in total defeat..

the doctor lifts the sheet covering her legs "it's alright I need one more good push from you ok?!"

Cordelia nods her head at the doctor bracing herself.. "1. 2. 3. PUSH!"

She lets out a yell that echoes through the night.. Cordelia in a daze can only see blurry faces.. the doctor cuts the umbilical cord and the nurse smiles at Cordelia holding the baby "its a baby boy!" As soon as Cordelia looks at the baby she instantly snaps out of her daze looking at the baby's glowing face.. she smiles at him with full tears in her eyes..

"can I hold him please?" The nurse puts the baby in her arms softly.. Cordelia adjusts herself and holds her son in a warm embrace.. the baby grabs her finger and gives a little smile on his face. "can I.. be alone with him for a second?" She says rocking the baby in her arms.. she brushes her hand across her babys head.. taking in every detail on his little face..

" So.. your the little guy I was so worried about?" the baby opens his mouth and yawns..

"don't you fret mommy is gonna good care you.." Cordelia say kissing his forehead..

zoe peeks through the door.

"Shhhh! He's sleeping.." Zoe and Queenie step in quitely beside Cordelia.. "Aww he's so cute!" Queenie says looking down the sleeping infant.. "Soo what's up his name?" Zoe says.. "I always said if I had a son I'd name him Francis... After a warlock I read in a history book along time ago and it stuck with me.."

" eh.. Francis? That's what we're calling him?" Queenie adds.

Cordelia smiles at down at the infant totally transcended "yeah.. Francis.. Francis timothy Goode.."

Zoe moves closer to Cordelia "supreme I have a question.." Zoe says with a nervously..

"me and Queenie were thinking since we helped out with the pregnancy.. if it's not too much to ask if we can be his god parents"

"Are you kidding?! I wouldn't think twice about having you guys as godparents!" Cordelia says with glee..

"what will you do when he starts asking questions about his you know who?" Queenie asks Cordelia

of course she knew who "you know/who" was.. Cordelia looks at the baby then back up at Queenie and gives a loud and clear response..

"my son has no father.. he's mine and mine alone. When the time does come when he gets old enough to start questioning things it will be my burden to bear.." ...

Zoe looks out the window noticing a glowing reflection on the window.. she walks over to the window and sees a street full of witches holding candles and bringing gifts..

"holy shit! Cordelia all these people must be for you!" Zoe exclaims..

"there not for me.. there for him.." Cordelia says holding the baby slightly up..

Queenie turns towards kyle standing in the doorway and says "kyle can you tell the nurse to come get Francis.. I think the supreme will need some rest.."

"wait. You didn't want us to stay here With you?" Zoe says turning back at Cordelia with a concerned look..

"no I will be fine.. the girls are probably going crazy right now with me not there.. you girls just go home and ill be fine.. the guards will be here with me.."

zoe sighs in defeat "she's right.. the coven needs us.. just take care alright?" Zoe and Queenie exit the room quietly... leaving Cordelia and little Francis at peace..

for the first time in what seems like forever Cordelia has a full night's sleep .. the baby in the hospital nursery sleeps as soft as a mouse.. a bright hand touches the babies chest as he breathes soft and calmly.. the figure reveals herself...

It's Misty..

she moves closer toward the infant kissing his forehead.. behind her a dark man appears only in. "what are you doing here?" She says looking over shoulder at papa legba with a mean look..

"you think a man of my work can't stop by and pay his respects?" He says with a sly tone putting his hand on his chest..

"I never knew a fella like you would know anything about respect.." Misty replied with sass...

papa still grinning at her gives a quick glance at the sleeping infant.. "a supreme has never had a son before... I had to come to see for myself.. it's always been a rare occurrence of witches having warlocks.. but If it's ironic I'm surprised you showed.. especially after what happened.."

Misty slightly lowers her head.. "what happened was nobody's fault I was weaker then.." Misty replied..

legba walks closer too Misty..

"and yet after dying and being stuck in hell you still came back? Back here with them?" Misty looks down at Francis hand still softly laying on his little chest..

"their the only family I have.. their my tribe."

Papa legba scofts at her response disappearing into the shadows... Misty leans Down at Francis giving him a kiss on the forehead..

"take care of your mama Little fella.." Misty disappears into the darkness sleeping peacefully in his nursery..
