"Where is she?" Joseph's eyes lit up in happiness. "This way"

Joseph's eyes lit up in happiness. "This way" "I'll come with you" said the male shepherd. In his arms there were some cloths and dry bread. Joseph thanked them with all his heart. He knew that the bread was all they had, and his heart was singing praises to the Lord for creating such good hearted people.

As they were running the couple noticed a very bright star which looked like a moon, just

much smaller. They looked at each other in question of this phenomenon. After a while they began to hear pained screams.

"Miriam!" Joseph thought.

Panic gripping his chest more as time passed, he ran faster and faster, so did the couple behind him. Finally they arrived at the stable; Joseph could not help but notice the Goosebumps rising on his skin. Whether of the freezing cold he felt or the fear that dwelt in him he didn't know.

"You stay outside!" Abigail told her husband and glared fiercely at him, daring the poor man to say the opposite. "But! "NO!" and shut the creaking door in his face.

"Bah! Women these days" they heard him grumble. What Abigail expected was not this. This woman, no girl, looked no older than fourteen. She was full of blood and sweat glistened all over her body. But what startled her were her deep beautiful sea blue eyes. So innocent and pure that she felt she was looking at a newborn baby despite the physical appearance. Miriam let out another piercing scream, and Abigail came to her senses. Joseph went to hold Miriam's hand. Gently he pulled up her robe so Abigail could work better. He kissed the sweaty and warm forehead with all the love his heart and soul could muster. At that moment Miriam who was still shivering, whimpering and screaming occasionally, but when she felt his kiss she relaxed completely.

Only getting tense when contractions came. After a while Abigail said "Push." "Come on girl, What's her name?" she asked Joseph "Miriam" he replied. "Push Miriam, you can do it! The head is almost out, Please Lord help her!"

Miriam screamed, then another was heard with her. It was her beautiful baby boy. He was very small but perfect. "Yeshua" Miriam whispered.

A ray of light filled the room. A feeling of unexplainable peace fell upon them. Miriam and Joseph knew what it meant.

The Son of God has been born.

Abigail had the baby wrapped in cloths but she could still feel him trembling. Joseph was still staring at the child as if he was in shock.

"Joseph?" asked Miriam. "He has your eyes, your cute upturned nose and your small mouth. He's perfect" he said, eyes twinkling madly with joy.

Emotion could be felt from every pore of his body. He couldn't believe it, he was a father!

"I know he's yours my Lord but I intent to love and treat him as my own." He prayed. "Go on pick him up" Miriam said.

"He'll break" Joseph whispered terrified.

Miriam and Abigail couldn't help it. They giggled.
