I was pushing as hard as I could, it hurt so much...I wanted to stop. But I wouldn't, not ever. Because I was bringing this child into this world, even if I were to die in the process.

"Melody!" Aunty Merlin suddenly yelled with a worried expression on her face. "You're bleeding too much. I...I don't know if you'll make it."

My entire body went cold with fear and I felt light headed. "I-I'm going to...to die?" I gasped out.

She looked away from my eyes and back down in between my legs. "You might be fine...just give me one big push to finish off." She was pretending that everything was okay. When it clearly wasn't.

I nodded weakly and gripped the bedsheets, preparing myself for the inevitable pain that was about to come.
Aunty Merlin counted me down from 3 and when she got to 1 I pushed as hard as my body would allow.
With every passing second I began to lose more and more stamina and it became increasingly harder to keep my eyes open. Blood was beginning to stain the bedsheets like ink in clear water and everything was getting blurry. I stopped pushing momentarily and refused to continue.

Aunty Merlin gave me a stern look and grabbed one of my legs. "Don't you dare give up on me! Remember that you are the Phoenix saviour of rebirth! The captain of the saviors. You can do this, Melody!" She cheered me on, but I was already too far gone.

"I-I can't...I can't do this.." I sobbed, my face scrunched up from the pain.

"YES YOU CAN! NOW PUSH AS HARD AS YOU CAN!"

I touched my stomach and caressed it. I'll most likely die from this...Micah.
"I'm going to die...but I'm okay with that, as long as my child gets to live." I spoke with determination. "So I'm going to keep fighting." I held back a scream as a painful contraction ripped through me. "For my kids future!"

I grabbed onto the sheets so hard that my knuckles turned white. I threw my head back into the pillow as I gave it my all. More blood oozed out of me, making me scream louder then I've ever screamed before.

I could suddenly hear a baby crying and I knew I was done. Although my body was on the brink of shutting down, Merlin still handed me my kid.
"It's a boy." She laughed as she gazed at the small being laying on my chest.
"What do you want to call him?" She asked, in which I instantly replied with.

"Micah." I struggled to say as the light began to fade and darkness began to take ahold of me.

Merlin noticed and instantly began shaking me. "Not yet! Not yet!" She cried.

"M-merlin? W-what race is he?"

"He's a demon...a demon like you!" She sobbed as I slowly succumbed to blood loss. "A de-"

I didn't hear her. Because I couldn't hear anything, but before I died, I whispered something, desperate to reach the one person I love.

"Thank you for loving me."
