Elizabeth laid in labor; it was hers and Rodney's first child. They had decided head on that their children would have a name of Earth decent and a name of Ancient decent, whether first or middle, that was that. The doctor delivering was Dr. Lema Carlos of Mexico, her area of doctoring, labor and delivery.
Lema: Dr. Weir you are almost there just a few more pushes.
Elizabeth decided to use her maiden name although officially her last name was McKay, two Dr. McKays was too problematic.
Lib: You said that thirty minutes ago.
The betting pool had lost completely, they said Rodney would be passed out after three hours; it was now coming to fifteen. He looked at his wife and she was tired but still pulling through.
Rodney: I'm here honey
Lib: I'm surprised you… still haven't passed out.
Rodney: The proper medical term is fainted, I told you I wouldn't
Lib: Carson would be proud for you're terminology, thank you. Can you carry our next child?
Rodney: If I find a way I will, I have no idea how much pain you're in, but I wish I could take half of it.
Lema: One more big push… and it's a beautiful girl.
The cry of the newest McKay filled the whole infirmary; Lema laid the newest Atlantis citizen on her mother's chest.
Lib: The first baby born in Atlantis in more then 10,000 years.
Lema: What is her name?
Rodney: Zoya Meredith McKay, Zoya is Ancient for "Eternal light"
Lib: She has your blond hair, open your eyes Zoya
The baby opened her eyes if on timing, bright green eyes showed.
Rodney: She has your eyes, like I hoped.
