Flashback

December 25, 1784

Our christmas was quiet and simple. Amelie had gotten past the halfway point in this pregnancy. 

We were both hopeful to finally have a child.

The night went on with silence between us. 

She had been looking uncomfortable all night and I was worried.

We got in bed and not to soon later she started to move around and clutch her stomach. 

She had a baby. It was midnight, and here I was sitting here trying to help keep her and the baby alive. 

The only bad thing was, she didn't want her family to know. She told them he had died during childbirth.
