The female smiled when she saw God approaching her.

"You're back," she said joyfully, and Adam's heart danced as he heard her voice.

The Lord smiled and replied, "Yes, and there is someone that I want you to meet."

"Who?" she asked excitedly.

He motioned towards the shadows where Adam was hidden.

"Come out," the Lord said.

Adam stepped forward, timidly, into the light.

The female's eyes widened in wonder as Adam came out.

The Lord put his arm around her shoulders and walked her forward whispering in her ear, "This is the one I was telling you about."

She stared at Adam's form as he stood in the sunlight.

The Lord looked at the still awestruck young man.

"Adam, this is your companion." He said.

The female smiled at him.

"What will you name her?" he asked

"Name her?" Adam said surprised. "I thought you would have done that."

"No," The Lord replied. "I gave you the responsibility of naming the animals, and I say that you should name her too."

Adam looked at the female again. When he met her eyes, she came forward with her hand raised up.

Adam slowly brought his to hers and when their palms touched, it was like lightning went through both of their frames.

Their faces took on looks of surprise as their fingers intertwined, and Adam looked at her curiously.

"She feels like a part of me." He said slowly.

His hand went to his side, as he felt like he found something he lost.

He looked at the Lord and said "She was part of me wasn't she?"

God nodded at him, as Adam understood.

Adam looked at the female again.

The sun had begun to set and the most beautiful tones had settled on her skin, giving the girl an ethereal look.

His eyes softened as he looked at her and he said, "She shall be called woman, because she was and is part of me."

Adam kissed her forehead, and the woman brought her other hand to her mouth as she turned slightly and giggled. The sun framed both of their heads, giving them light halos as the Lord looked on at them.

He walked up and touched the woman's shoulder and quietly said, "Eve."

The girl looked at him with a confused expression. "What?" She said.

"You're name is Eve," God said gently.

Adam looked at him incredulously. "I thought you said I could name her."

God shook his head. I said you could name the animals and you did." He replied. "But I am naming her as a human, as I did you."

Adam looked up thinking. "Eve…" He tried the name out, tasting it on his lips.

"Eve. I like it." Adam beamed at the girl.

Eve smiled back.

"Thank you," she said laughing lightly.

Adam then turned and gave the Lord a hug.

"Thank you so much!" Adam said gratefully.

The Lord laughed as he hugged him back.

"You're welcome my son." God replied.

The Lord then went over and kissed Eve's head saying "It's getting late, the stars are coming out, and Eve needs to see her new home."

Eve smiled in anticipation.

The three made a little circle as Adam and Eve held hands, and each took one of the Lord's in farewell.

Then, the two humans turned away to head back home.

The Lord wiped away small tear, as he watched them walk away. Love and remorse shared his heart as he saw their present, and knew their future.
