A/N: Do not forget to read Chapter 37 before that! As the fanfic is almost over, I decided to post two chapters today.

A/N: Oh, and before I forget, I'll update '' Eternal Heroes '' later this afternoon.

A / N: Since I do not know the units of measurement that are used in the rest of the world, then I used the ones we use here in Brazil.

CHAPTER 38.

Three months later.

After dinner, the three friends sat down in the princess's room.

'' Okay, I work with names. So tell me, what will be the name of my goddaughter? "Lohni asked with an air of research and Adora laughed.

"It's not just because you're going to be the godmother that you're going to be able to go like that," Teela commented with a smile and Adora nodded.

'' She's right. '' The princess spoke and settled into the chair. She was feeling uncomfortable for a few hours, but she knew it was nothing. His daughter was only going to be born the following month, everything was fine.

''Even so! Adora, you and Hawk have been in suspense for three months! I want to call my goddaughter by name and not by 'her' or 'baby'! "

Teela shook her head and Adora stiffened and sat even more still, placing her hand on her belly. This caught the attention of the two women.

"Adora?" Teela asked.

"Adora, are you okay?" Lohni approached.

The tigress lifted her head from where she was lying in Adora's room and stared at her.

'' A twinge of pain, it's nothing ... ''

'' Nothing? '' Teela looked at her. '' Adora, your dress ... ''

It was wet. Adora realized. '' Oh no ... it was not a simple twinge ... '' She suppressed a groan of pain. '' It's a contraction ... '' She looked at her friends. '' The baby is coming! ''

They looked at each other in alarm. "But there's still a month left!" Lohni exclaimed.

'' Tell her this ... '' Adora said as she stared at her belly.

"I'll get the Hawk!" Teela ran off.

"I'll tell the infirmary!" Lohni ran in the opposite direction, leaving Adora alone in the room next to Layla.

'' You're in a hurry. It's still a month away, but you want to be born today ?! "She whispered to her daughter and suppressed another groan as another contraction arrived.

'' Adora! '' Hawk arrived with Teela and Adam.

"Is it today?" Adam asked.

"Apparently," his sister replied.

Hawk hurried over and took her in his arms, then ran out of the room toward the infirmary. Adam and Teela right behind.

Adam turned to Teela. '' Go and tell your father, I'll call mine. ''

'' Okay. '' Each went to one side.

Susan was spying that day and was surprised by the news. "It's today," she whispered, but stayed where she was. The orders were to wait for the child to be born and that was what she would be waiting for.

In a time the news spread to the whole palace and kingdom. In the rhythm that the gossip ran, in a little while the whole planet would know.

All the friends and family were in the waiting room of the infirmary. Randor and Marlena let a meeting, Duncan left what he did to go wait, Adam paced. Cringer and Layla were lying in the corner of the room while Orko kept looking at the door. The masters were also present.

A while later a nurse appeared and they all stood up and stopped pacing. She smiled gently and spoke. '' The princess has just been prepared.''

'' Thank you for letting we know ... '' Marlena thanked her.

"Now the wait." Adam paced again.

'' Believe me, it will take them longer, especially for Adora. '' Marlena replied.

Hours later.

''Your Highness, I need more strength. One more push. '' The doctor asked.

Hawk approached Adora and kissed her forehead. '' Come on, Adora. You can. One more push ... ''

''I can't...''

'' Yes, you can. You are the strongest woman I know, defeated Hordak, Horde Prime, led a rebellion when no one else believed that Etheria could be saved. Convinced a pirate to give up gold and open his eyes to more important things, to open his eyes to love and friendship. So do not tell me that you can't because you can! Now push. "He spoke gently and felt her squeeze his hand tightly.

They were already half past dawn and it seemed like it would never end. Adora did not know where she was getting the strength to continue, but she kept pushing until a baby cry filled the room and she could, after hours, relax.

Hawk kissed her forehead one more time. "That's my girl," he whispered.

'' Prince Hawk, would you do the honor? '' The doctor asked and Hawk kissed his wife again before going to the doctor and cutting the umbilical cord.

'' Congratulations Your Highness. '' One of the nurses congratulated the princess, who was now breathing heavily and her eyes almost closed. The princess opened a weak smile and watched Hawk come back to her side.

Tears of happiness trickled down the cheeks of the couple, and after a few minutes, the doctor approached them with a small baby crying in his arms, he put her in the arms of the mother and the girl stopped crying as soon as Adora caught her.

Hawk placed his hand on the child's head and stroked as he cried with happiness.

The girl opened her eyes and looked first at her mother and then at her father, as if analyzing their faces. Adora gave a small laugh as her daughter took her index finger with her little hand and squeezed.

'' Hello my little Alexandra. '' Adora whispered.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, this was the first time Adora had spoken her daughter's name aloud and they had the honor of being the first to know.

'' Come, '' Dr. Gray ordered. "Let's give some privacy to the new family. Our duty here has already been done. ''

xxXXXxx

Several minutes later, Dr. Gray entered the waiting room and once again they all stood up.

'' So? '' Everyone asked

He smiled and spoke. '' A healthy girl weighing three kilos and seven hundred grams. Of 46 centimeters. Because she's premature, she's going to need to watch for a few weeks, but there's nothing wrong with her. "

"What about the mother?" Duncan asked.

'' The Princess Adora is well. Tired but well. Let's move her and baby to her suite tomorrow night. Soon, when the new family feels ready to receive visitors, Prince Hawk will come and call you. "

Everyone sighed in relief. And a smile appeared on everyone's face.

Marlena hugged her husband as she cried with joy. '' We have a granddaughter! ''

'' We have ... '' He returned the hug with a smile and looked at his son, who was practically lifting Teela off the ground during their embrace.

Susan took a deep breath. '' It started. '' She left the palace.
