NINE MONTHS LATER
I cradled our child in my arms, tears dripping down may face as I cried, my whole body trembling with exhaustion and joy.
Rhys's hand shook as he gently ran a finger down his little, delicate cheek. He blinked open violet eyes, staring up at us with curiosity.

This... this is why I fight. For him. For Rhys. For Mor and Cassian and Azriel and Amren. For Nesta and Elain and everyone I care about.
"Do you have a name in mind?" he whispered, his voice tender and loving.
I'd had an idea in my head for the last nine months. "Aidan," I said, my voice croaky.
"Its perfect," he replied with a gentle smile, pressing a feather-soft kiss to our son's head. I smiled, the sight breaking and healing my heart all at once.
Aidan would be our son's name, for I had learnt it meant something special in the old language.
It meant fireheart.
