Time Period: A Flashback
Special Event: Raven's premature birth
Date: 10-28-2000
Naveen's p.o.v
Her screams tear my heart into pieces. Premature labor and birth, I wish it never came down
to this. I try my best to keep my composure. I don't know if I should cry along with her or continue
to be her rock. Everything hits me all at once when the doctor presents Raven to us. Wrapped in a
pink blanket, Raven is very tiny and sickly. I assume it is my fault for putting her in this predicament.
Tiana and her mother believe God may have other plans for Raven.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Place: A Nursery
Situation: Post The Twins' home birth
Naveen's p.o.v
"Oh Nave, you are crying" Tiana points out. "I am not crying" I lie through my tears. "You don't
understand why the twins were born fullterm instead of Raven" she assumes."You can read my
thoughts. You are kind of like Jean Grey in that way" I tease her. "Sure" she laughs with a little
hint of sadness. "I heard someone say my name" Raven breaks in. Briefly, the hole in our world
closes up. Even now my tears are blessings from heaven.
