A Big Leap of Faith, A Mere Small Bump In The Road

by No Fate 1990

This poem is about Ragnar and Lagertha's struggle to have a baby.

7. Maximus

Situation: Afterbirth-Lagertha has given birth to a dead baby named Maximus

Lagertha's p.o.v.

The smell of blood and death doesn't stop him from checking on me. The midwife shows the dead

baby to him. "I lost our son" I sob heavily into his arms. "We lost our son. Maybe the gods had a

greater purpose for him" he comforts me. "His name should be Maximus" I suggest through my

tears.
