Dear Journal,

Natalia had her daughter! Her name is Juliet. But, thanks to our dumb luck, she got childbirth fever. I have never seen another person that ill before. I guess Dad, but he died instantly. As Mom, I freaked out. Her fever was high, her skin was bone pale, she was in so much pain, she almost couldn't breathe, she was sweating up a storm, and by the end of the week, she was vomiting up almost everything we gave her. Everyone thought we would lose her. But Rapunzel gave her a broth made from her tears and she was cured of her fever and cerebral palsy. I asked her if she was mad about her cerebral palsy being taken away and she told me no. And, she's right, we aren't defined by our bodies but by our personalities.

Sincerely,

Arianna
