I don't own Huntik: Secrets and seekers

Lok`s POV

"Deadly?" I asked. The doctor nodded. "How much time does she have?"

"A day."

"What`s going to happen to the baby?" Sophie asked. She put her hand on mine and squeezed it.

"We`ll have to perform an emergency C-Section."

"Is there any way to stop the spell from taking effect?" I asked.

"Well. There is a counter spell we could try. But there is only a small chance it will work. We will still need to perform the C-Section because it wouldn`t be safe for the baby."

"I`ll try anything." Sophie said.

"Alright. Well take you in for surgery in a little while." He left the room and I saw tears streaming down Sophie`s face.

"Sophie. Everything will be alright ." I said.

"What of the spell doesn`t work?" She asked.

"Try not to think about that. Think positive."

"How can I? I could die. And leave you alone with the baby."

"Everything will be alright." I kissed her head "I promise."

"Alright. I`ll try not to worry."

"Good." There was a knock at the door and Dante and Zhalia stepped in.

"What did the doctors say?" Zhalia asked. Sophie looked at me with pleading, watery eyes, asking me to tell them for her.

"They said the spell she was hit with... is killing her."

"How much time do you have?" Dante asked.

"A day." Sophie said.

"What`s going to happen to the baby?" Zhalia asked.

"There taking me in to have an emergency C-Section. Then they`re going to perform a spell that could counteract the one I was hit with."

"So you woun`t die?"

"We don`t know." I said "They said there`s only a small chance it will work."

"The doctor`s here are very talented at magic and have very powerful spells at there disposal." Dante said. "I`m sure you`ll be just fine."

"Thank you Dante." Sophie said. A nurse came in and looked up from her clipboard.

"Sophie. You will be going in a few minutes." She said.

"Thank you." She wrote something down on her clipboard and left.

"Do you want us to stay?" dante asked.

"Will you?"

"Sure."

"I`ll go call the sitter." Zhalia said "Tell her she`ll be watching Kyle for a while longer."

"Alright." Soon Sophie was taken into the operating room. The preped her for surgery and gave her something to soothe the pain. I held her hand tight.

"It hurts." She said.

"I know it does. But it will be over soon." I soothed. A cry rang out in the room and tears streamed down Sophie`s face.

"It`s a girl!" The doctor cried. They closed her up and wheeled her back to her room. Where she fell asleep. I held our daughter close and smiled. Nina Lambert. She looked exactly like Sophie. With my blue eyes.

"Lok." Sophie whispered from her bed.

"Hey." I looked up from Nina`s blue eyes to Sophie`s green. "Do you want to hold her?"

"Yes." I placed the baby in her arms and a smile played across her lips.

"The doctor said he would come perform the spell when you woke up." As if on cue, the doctor came in and put something on the table.

"Good. You`re up. Let`s get started."
