In the Shadows of Fear

by No Fate 1990

This poem is about Clary overcoming fear. Clary becomes pregnant as the result of an immaculate conception. She has a son named Gideon who is an archangel. Reviews are welcome.

21. Precious and Patience Fairchild

Place: An Infirmity

Special Event: The Twins' birth

Action: Clary is giving birth

Clary (exhausted, she collapses on a pillow): I can't do this

Isabella (checking the fetal heartbeats): The twins' heartbeats sound good

Jocelyn (clary's midwife): Baby A is crowning. You must push.

Clary (screaming and pushing hard): AHA..AHA

Jocelyn (places Baby A on Clary's stomach): You have a beautiful daughter

Clary: Her name will be Precious

(With the next few contractions, Clary delivers her second daughter named Patience.)
