Yells filled the Healer's wing of the castle. After nine months, Amity's water broke. Luz was with her until something happened and she was rushed out of the room. Luz was beyond terrified. She sat in a chair and started crying.
"Luz, what's the matter?" Boscha asked, "You're having a baby. That should be a happy thing."
"Boscha... they forced me out because something was going wrong. I'm afraid." Luz said, "I already had my mom die in my arm on my birthday, I can't handle it if my wife dies on my birthday. I'm scared."
Boscha pulled Luz into a hug, trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Boscha said, "Nothing bad will happen."
"I don't want to lose anyone else."
Boscha got up and left for a few minutes. She came back with a small box.
"Luz, you always have tried to help everyone else, and never ask for anything in return. So, Amity and I decided to do something nice for you."
She handed Luz the small box and opened it. Her eyes widened.
"Boscha, is this?"
"Yes. Yes, it is."
Luz hugged Boscha.
"Thank you." Luz said.
"So, how does it feel?" Boscha asked.
Luz looked at her gift. The knife her mom gave her before she died. She honestly thought it was gone forever when Belos snapped it in half. She gripped the handle and smiled.
"Feels like I never lost it." Luz said.
"We figured it meant a lot to you. You told us it was the last thing she gave to you before she died. It must be important."
"It is."
A Healer came out and looked at Luz.
"My Liege, you may know enter."
Luz looked at Boscha.
"Birth's here go fast."
Luz walked in and saw a very tired Amity. She looked over at Luz and sent her a tired smile.
"Next time... Boscha's having the kid."
"How are you doing Amity?"
"I'm doing... as good as I can. Our baby had a hard time coming out, if they didn't do something, she would've died."
"She?"
Luz looked over to a basket that had a pink blanket. She picked up the baby and smiled.
"She's beautiful, just like her mother." Luz said, looking at Amity.
Amity smiled.
"So, what are we going to name her?"
Luz looked down at her daughter as the baby opened her eyes. She looked up at her mother and started giggling. Luz smiled.
"I think I have the perfect name."
