Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from His Dark Materials. They are
Philip Pullmans. These characters are Will, Lyra, Xaphania, Serafina
Pekkala and Lee Scoresby. The rest of the characters are mine as well as
the plot. Susan is obviously mine as she wouldn't have been born without
me.
A/N: Although most stories are about Will and Lyra reuniting, this one
takes place after it happens. You can pick any story someone wrote that
fits with what I have going and pretend it's what happened, as I'm not
going to go into detail. Some of these characters are based on my friends
so if you think they are too much like you, e-mail me and I will change
them. I apologize for this chapter being short but it was a needed
introduction.
"William Parry, how dare you do this to me" were the words most people heard when they were passing room 507 in the hospital. Will had gotten used to the screaming, of course and knows that his wife Lyra is in pain. He could see it by looking at poor little Pan. The labor was worse than anyone expected and Lyra just couldn't wait any longer. Just before doctors were going to give up on the baby a glaring light temporarily blinded everyone in the room. When it dimmed a bit, a glowing figure was standing in the room and another person came out from behind her. The doctors were amazed at how they could only see the outline of whoever the glowing person was. However both Will and Lyra recognized the figures.
"Serafina Pekkala, how great to see you again, I haven't seen you since the wedding." Lyra managed to say through the pain.
"I was busy Lyra, but I couldn't miss this, not only are you and Will my friends but this is a very important birth. This is the first time two witches have had a child and I can see that there will be great power in your child." Said Serafina Pekkala and as she moved closer to Lyra, everyone realized that this was the great witch they had heard about.
Will, however was less cheered up at his visit as he remembered more about the angel that has arrived. "Xaphania, I am almost afraid to ask what brought you here. You don't come unless it's important. Last time we talked you told me I could never see Lyra again."
"I had a feeling I would be wrong but I couldn't get your hopes up. This time I once again am here to protect the future but I believe you will be happier with what I am about to do." She then moved her hand over Lyra in a smooth movement. Lyra seemed soothed and Will and Kirjava felt better as well. That is when the baby was finally able to come out. She glowed for a couple seconds and then started crying like any other baby.
"It's a girl." The doctors shouted, "She's beautiful congratulations."
Xaphania smiled, "I must leave now, it's urgent. Take care of her; she will decide the fates of people in many worlds. She mu." She vanished before she could finish the sentence.
"We will use the name we have already decided for her, Susan." Will told everyone with a giant smile on his face.
"Will, I think she should have a middle name, someone has helped me so much and I was dreaming about him last night." Lyra said, "Her name will be Susan Lee Parry."
"Beautiful" said Pan and Kirjava together and looked at Susan's daemon Hanatal. He had also just come into existence. Hanatal became a pine marten and then a cat imitating the two daemons before deciding that he would begin his life as a ferret.
"The first form a daemon decides to take is symbolic of what the child will be like. As Hanatal is a ferret, Susan will probably be curious and adventurous just like her mother when she was young." Serafina Pekkala said. She changed to a sadder tone, "Unfortunately, I must go help Xaphania. I will be back often to check on Susan. Goodbye."
"Goodbye Serafina and tha." Lyra fell asleep before she was able to thank the witch who smiled and left. The birth had been hard on Lyra but she was strong, she deserved the rest.
"This isn't possible, it's midnight, and no wonder we are all tired. Let's go to bed, we will see the mother and daughter again tomorrow." Exclaimed a doctor and Will realized that it is Midsummer Day, the day he went to the Botanical Garden on for two years to get close to Lyra after they were separated. It was also the day he was able to get back to Lyra, in the third year.
That night Will dreamt about how he was reunited with Lyra.
A/N: There will be one more chapter as an introduction, which I will put up tomorrow. It will involve Will's dream. It will be short, as I don't want to reveal any detail because other people do that in their stories. Hopefully, my Spanish and Chemistry homework will be finished quickly so the first chapter of the actual adventure will be up by then. If not I should have it up be next Friday.
