The moment had arrived, Sofia had gone into labor, Cedric knew the basics of a birth, but had never witnessed one, when his sister had given birth to Callista, his mother's sister had come to the matter.

The woman of the same constitution as Winifred, but with less curly hair, had been a midwife for a long time.

She was also a sorceress, only that she had a penchant for clairvoyance, which in the sorcerer's family they did not take very seriously, but with no one to trust, she decided to call her.

He searched among the objects in his magic bag, found a round, green rock, rubbed it against his clothes, raised it to his lips and whispered something to him.

Suddenly an old woman appeared, who seemed calm.

-Cedric? It's you ? -

- Aunt Nina, yes, it's me, I need your help.

-Where is she ? the old woman asked, looking behind Cedric. It is already working, right? -

- Yes, but how ... -

-Cedric, you always thought that my clairvoyance was nothing but nonsense, but I'll tell you, I do not choose to see these visions, just ... they just come to me.- she said looking into her nephew's eyes. -But come on, come on, there's work to be done.-

Sofia gave all her effort, but the baby was very weak, Nina had not said anything, but when she noticed something was wrong, she signaled Cedric to come over.

-Cedric the baby, is not in position.-

Cedric looked at Sofia, who still had controlled breaths to deal with the contractions.

-What can be done ? - he asked

-Well, there are two options, in some places a procedure called "cesarean" has been implemented, it is an intervention in which a cut is made in the belly and the baby is removed, then it is returned to its initial position with suture, but the probability of their survival is low.

Cedric had heard about this procedure before, but he did not think it was very safe.

-And the other option? -

-We can try to readjust the position of the baby, it would be annoying for her, because I will have to maneuver inside, but, you have to make a decision, you do not have much time left.-

Cedric put a hand to his head, weighing what decision to make, sweat running down the side of his forehead, as he listened to Sofia scream in the room. How she had done this to him, how he could make her go through all this, separate her from her family, keep her hidden, ill-fed, and now, she had to decide what to do, she felt terrible.

-I try with the position of the baby, I would not forgive if she dies.-

Cedric cast a spell to stop Sofia's contractions.

The midwife was installed in front of the mother's legs, with a bucket of water next to her legs, asking for Cedric's help, to press her belly when she indicated.

She began to introduce one of his hands and gently but firmly, began to push the baby little by little, Cedric did the same. After a few minutes, the baby was in position and Cedric resumed contractions for Sofia to continue with the delivery.

Sofia pushed, shouted and shuddered, as she squeezed Cedric's hands, her hair disheveled and her face impregnated with sweat, with all the strength she had, she took a deep breath and gave a last shove

the midwife shouted - here it is already-

It was a moment of silence and then a beautiful weeping flooded the ears of everyone in the room.

The midwife cleaned the baby and gave it to Cedric; the sorcerer's eyes shone when he saw the small being in his arms, he was small, more than normal, given his condition.

He approached Sofia who took him in his arms.

- Have you thought of a name? - She asked the midwife.

-no- said cedric

-yes- said Sofia. - His name is Mael. That has a meaning similar to your name, Cedric, means "boss and prince", because he will be one day.-

Cedric smiled at his family and nodded.

- Mael, it will be then ...

-Well, then, I'm here, remember Cedric, whatever you need, I'll always be there.- said the old woman disappearing with a snap of her fingers leaving the new family to enjoy her happiness.
