Mayu was sleep soundly in the bed; they were all in a cavern in the Capital of the Hittite Empire. Zannanza was standing by the door watching over her.
"Zannanza you should get some rest," Mali said.
"I have to…"
"Lay down with her and get some rest," Mali said as he left the room. Zannanza walks over to the bed and lays downs. Mayu moves closer to his embraces and smiles.
The next Day
A letter had come for Zannanza the letter had said this.

"I can't believe that this day has final come," Mali said.
"Yes, the goal that we had since young will final go as plan," Zannanza said.
"We should go and see brother, now is the best time than ever since Nakia won't be able to do anything to use," Mali said.
"But Isis hasn't fully recovered she…" Mayu walk into the room and saw that Zannanza was holding a piece of clay with writing on it. "Isis you should be in bed," Mayu shook her head and read the letter. Mayu started to feel a bit of pain in her stomach although that she didn't understand one word in the letter she knew that there brother was getting married today and she shouldn't drag them. She went and wrote on a piece of paper.
"I want to go and see your brother:"
"But you haven't recovered from…"
"I'm totally fine with all I needed was a good meal and I'll was restore to my original state," she wrote.
"Fine but as long as your fine," he said. It surprise Mayu that he didn't pick up an argument and tried to convince her otherwise but she was happy either way then she went and back into the room went she got over to the bed she collapse on her knees, started to come she couldn't stand anymore. The baby was coming and she had no way to yell to Zannanza for any help.
Outside
Zannanza and Mali were getting the carriage ready for another long travel went Asad came running towards them and had a piece of paper in his mouth.
"Asad that Isis paper not food you can't eat that," Mali grab it away from him and started to shake. "Zannanza go back up stairs I have to go get a doctor," he said as he started to run.
"Mali what's wrong?" he said.
"Nothing, you're going to be a father," Mali was soon out of sight and Zannanza ran up stairs. Mayu was on the ground holding on to the bed when Zannanza came in.
"Zannanza," she thought. Zannanza pick her up and put her into the bed.
"Everything going to be fine Isis I'm here now," she started to cry a bit later not long though did Mali returned with a doctor.
"Okay I'll take it from here," Mayu squeezed Zannanza hand and shook her head no she was against the whole idea of him leaving the room.
"I'm not going anywhere don't worried," he said.
"Go get a lot of towels and warm water," Mali ran around getting warm water and towels for the doctor. When the thought the worst was over when the heard a baby crying. "Congratulation it's a boy," he said as he wraps the little boy in a blanket.
"Isis; you didn't it we have a boy," Zannanza said happily but Mayu shook her head no and started to push again and the doctor was shock.
"I see a head," he said. When the baby was out it started to cry, only then did Mayu relax against Zannanza. "It's a girl," the doctor said, he cleans the babies and put them in Mayu and Zannanza arms, then leaves. Mali goes up to them.
"Their beautiful," Mayu gave a smile, "So what's their name" Mayu looks at Zannanza.
"You choose," he said. She wrote on the piece of paper.
"Amir and Maysa Hattusili," she smiles. "I want them to have their father last name like they do it where I come from." Zannanza smiles happily.
"Of course Amir and Maysa Hattusili are perfect names." The next day Mayu, Zannanza and Mali leave the capital of Hittite and start for a life somewhere else.
Weeks Later
Mayu was in the bed of their new home and Amir and Maysa were asleep next to her. Zannanza was sitting next to her peeling and apple and she gave him a piece of paper.
"Zannanza if I was able to speak again what is the first thing you want hear?" she asks.
"That you love me," he said. "What brought this up?"
"I have a feeling that once I'm able to speak that I will return back to where I came from," Zannanza drops what he is doing then hugs her.
"Then I hope that you never speak again"
