Chapter 11 The birth of the heir
9 months later
It was a sunny afternoon in Egypt and Serenity was standing out on the balcony rubbing her stomach. She was excited knowing that the her baby was going to be arriving into the world soon, but she was nervous because she wasn't sure if she was strong enough to make it through the birth. She put a hand on her necklace and closed her eyes praying that she would be alright. She felt a kick and opened her eyes smiling, knowing that her baby sensed her worry. She left the balcony and entered the nursery that her and some of the servants had set up for the baby. There was a bassinet near one wall, and a chair in the corner opposite of bassinet. There were play toys in another corner and a changing table against the last wall. The walls were decorated with hieroglyphics and different designs.
After looking over the nursery, Serenity went to lie down. She had been having pains for the last 30 minutes and was trying to breathe through them. A few moments later she doubled over in pain and felt something wet between her legs. Yama sensed that something was wrong and came into the room. When she saw Serenity holding her stomach she ran over to her.
"Sere what's wrong?" Yama asked worriedly.
"I… think… I… went… into…labor." She said breathlessly.
"We need to get you to Isis. Come on!"
Yama helped Serenity down to the healing chambers and rushed inside.
"Isis! Are you here?" Yama called.
Isis came out from the back room.
"Yes, what is it?" She asked.
"Serenity has gone into labor." Yama answered.
Isis' eyes went wide and quickly got Serenity set up in one of the beds. She had to remind her queen to breath through her contractions. Yama left the room and wen to tell girls. Mina and Raye went to go find the Pharaoh, while Amy went to tell everyone else and Yama went to comfort her partner until Mina and Raye could return with the Pharaoh.
Yama entered the healing chambers and saw Serenity breathing through another contraction.
"How long until she is able to give birth Isis?" Yama asked.
"It shouldn't be too long now." Isis answered.
Yama nodded and went to sit by Sere's side to help her in anyway that she could. About 30 minutes later, Isis came by to check up her queen.
"You should be able to give birth anytime now you majesty." She said.
"Where's Atem at? I want him here for when the baby is born." Serenity asked, looking up at Yama.
"Mina and Raye are looking for him Sere. Give them some time." Yama assured her.
Mins and Raye took of running as soon as they heard the Serenity went into labor. They both knew that she would want Pharaoh Atem there with her while she delivered their child into the world. The decided to go separate ways, hoping to cover more ground that way, but their idea didn't work they wanted. Sometime later, they met back and decided to look together.
"Grrrr… where is he?" Raye said angrily.
"Like I know." Mina said.
Both girls were tired from searching for the Pharaoh, but they weren't going to let their queen down. Both girls were started to get frustrated with not knowing where the Pharaoh was at. They stopped for a moment to stop and think. They both were struck with an idea. They had not yet checked the gardens. The took off in the direction of the Pharaoh's garden. They were delighted when they saw the Pharaoh there.
"Your Majesty!" Raye said breathlessly.
Atem looked up from the scroll and saw Raye and Mina running toward him. "Yes, what is it ladies?"
"It's Serenity, she gone into labor." Mina explained.
Atem stood up quickly, dropping the scroll in his lap. "How long ago did she do into labor?"
"About an hour or so ago." Raye stated.
"Where is she?" He asked.
"Healing chambers with Isis and Yama." Mina answered.
The three took off running toward the healing chambers. They saw that everyone was there anxiously awaiting the arrival of the heir. Atem quickly entered and Yama stood up at hearing the door open. Atem rushed over to his wife's side and held her hand.
"I'm here Sere." He said while kissing her hand.
Sere looked up at him, but closed her eyes in pain as another contraction hit. Once the pain subsided she told Atem, "You made it just in time. Our baby is about to arrive."
Isis walked into the room at the moment and went over to her king and queen.
"It is time. Are you ready my queen?" Isis asked.
"Yes." Serenity answered.
"Alright, when I tell you, I going to need you to push." The healer instructed.
Serenity nodded and did as she was told. She squeezed Atem's hand tightly as she pushed. Atem winced but didn't let the pain show. He knew that Serenity needed him there with her for support. He wiped her brow when sweat started to form.
Meanwhile outside, everyone was trying to wait patiently, but they were all anxious to see if the heir was a boy or a girl. Many of them wished for the heir to be a girl so that Egypt would have a princess for the first time in a millennium. A few were pacing while others were tapping their feet.
Serenity had been pushing for what seemed like an eternity, but was only two hours. She was tired and sweaty.
"Alrighty your majesty, give me one last hard push." Isis stated.
Serenity gave it all her might and gave one last hard push. A few moments later, they heard the baby cry.
"Congratulations my queen, you have given birth to a healthy baby girl." Isis said.
Serenity and Atem smiled as Isis handed the baby girl to her mother. The girl had pink hair and wide red eyes, that were lighter than Atem's. She had soft features and was lightly tan.
"So what will her name be, your majesty?" Isis asked.
"Trinity Jeanna Motou. Rini for short." Atem answered.
"What a lovely name."
"Welcome to this world, my daughter."
Once Isis left the room, the girls entered the room. They made their way over to Serenity and Atem were and saw the baby Princess.
"Awwww , she's so cute. What's her name?" Lita asked.
"It's Trinity Jeanna Motou." Sere had said.
"That's a beautiful name for the Princess, If I must say so myself." Mina had said.
After that statement everyone just Mina. Mina became confused that she laughed at her own stupidity. After Mina found out that it was her own stupidity was what made everyone laugh, Atem called everyone else in to see the new princess of Egypt. They looked in aww at how cute their future ruler was.
"What's her name, my pharaoh?" Seto asked.
"Trinity Jeanna Motou. Rini for short." Pharaoh Atem answered.
"Awww what a lovely name for a lovely princess." Isis stated.
"Mmhmm, and now to show her to the people."
Atem carried his baby girl carefully in his arms and made his way out onto the balcony of throne room where his people were gathered. Everyone was curious as to why their Pharaoh had called them to the palace today.
"My people, it is another glorious day for Egypt! For today the heir to Egypt has been born!" Atem exclaimed.
The people cheered ecstatically. Happy to know that an heir was born.
As Atem held Rini up for the people to see he said, "Welcome to the world, my daughter and future Queen of Egypt, Princess Trinity!"
The people cheered even more which caused Rini to giggle a little bit. Atem lowered her back into his arms and made his way back to Serenity.
And that wraps that chapter up! Im happy that this revision is almost done with! Soon I can start another story!
