Only 11 days later, on December 15th, at 2:21 AM, Elliot sent for the doctor.

It was the day.

By 3 AM the the village doctor was at their home, and started Illia through labor.

By 5 AM Illia's first child, a very tiny little boy with already plenty of red hair, was born. Right before the doctor was about to end his procedure and take care of the boy, he noticed there was another child. He continued Illia's labor, trying to birth the baby, but it was stuck. Just when he was about to get the child out, Illia started bleeding, and badly.

"Illia!"

The doctor tried to stop the bleeding, but it was too much, too fast. Right when Illia was slowly passing she looked to Elliot, who was holding the boy, and smilied.

"Evaline," she had said, looking at the boy, "my beautiful Evaline."

At 6:15 AM on December 15th, 1827, Illia Redriver died of bloodloss during childbirth.

At 6:15 AM, the doctor also pronounced the other child a stillborn, the child a match to the other baby.

At 7:05 AM, the doctor took his leave and Elliot planned the burial arrangements.

At 7:57 AM, Evaline learned to make a high-pitched squeak that made Elliot smile.
