TW: Childbirth, Pain
August 15th, 1980.

Screams of agony ripped through the log cabin that the Goldberg family was hiding in. For Luise Goldberg was pregnant and already in labor. Accompanying them was the Lukewood family. Mother Lukewood was just as pregnant as Luise was only a few months prior.

They were hiding from the dark forces of black magic. "The Potters have been killed! Voldemort was defeated!" Father Lukewood came running in, frantic.

"Bullshit, he has. Defeated by a baby? Harry Potter?" Louis Goldberg grabbed the letter out of his hand and read it. The creaking floor boards grew louder as Luise grew restless. Thinking they were safe, Louis let the sound barrier down from the house.

"Just push, Dear! Push!" The midwife cooed. Her hands were positioned between Luise's thighs, ready to help pull out the newborn baby.

Louis rushed to her side and helped his wife through the pain. "I can't do it. I'm going to die!" She bargained.

"You're going to make it. Push, damn it!" His voice was confident, but head full of doubt.

Standing behind them was Mother and Father Lukewood. Mother had her arms wrapped around her baby boy. Her son was crying for a tit. The poor boy was startled by the screaming that was happening around him.

Luise and Louis were forced to escape from The Order and go into hiding just as Lily and James Potter had. They both had the same reason as well. Lily and Luise were both with child.

Now her brown hair clung to her sweaty forehead. Shirt soaked with tears, she clutched onto her lover's hand. It was the worse pain she'd ever felt. Tearing her insides apart.

"I-I've never seen anything like this. The child is too powerful for your body. It's bloody killing you!" The midwife cried out.

"Get it out of her," Louis screamed!

Mother Lukewood pressed her face into her husbands chest to avoid from staring at the upsetting scene in front of her.

Luise's vision began to blur. She could only make out the distant figures of the people she knew to come. The sounds around her become muffled followed by the sounds of a crying baby. Her own. It sounded as if someone was talking to her, but she couldn't quite make the words out. "I see a pearl?" "Do a twirl?" No that couldn't be right. Oh right. It was the nurse.

"It's a girl!"

"A beautiful, healthy baby girl. That means we get to name her Anna like you promised?" Louis attempted to make a joke as he was handed his newborn girl.

Those would be the last sound she ever heard. Her heartbeat began to become more faint. A weak smile pressed her lips as she grinned down at her baby girl. "Anna," she spoke softly. The blood loss had been too extreme for Luise.

She passed before she could hear the sound of an exploding door.

Death Eaters must have heard the screams from her and followed them to the hidden cabin.

"Let's go! Louis she's dead let's go!"

Louis refused to leave his wife's dead body, clinging to it. He sobbed uncontrollably as he held his baby girl in one hand with his wife's cold hand in his other.

"The baby did this. THE BABY DID THIS!" Louis grabbed his wand as if he was going to defend his child and friends against the intrusive death eaters.

Shock struck them all when the tip of the wand was pressed to the baby.

"LOUIS! NO!" Mother Lukewood screamed.

Luckily Father was faster than Louis and grabbed the baby from the angered man and pressed his hand to his wife's shoulder. He apparated them to a nearby muggle hotel. They sought asylum there. The muggles there knew about wizards since the hotel was ran by a squib.

Anna Kay Goldberg was given to the muggle family there. Louis and Luise Goldberg died in each other's arms. Luise of blood loss and Louis presumed dead after the Death Eaters used the killing curse on him.
