Fantina of the Opera

The New Baby

"Oh! I really hope we are not too late."

"Relax Mizura. I am sure Fantina is fine."

"What if she isn't? What is our little girl is hurt? I cannot take that chance, I'm going in."

Mizura of course had a right to be worried. Fantina was only around 7 pounds right now. There was a good chance her daughter could've been hurt. Naturally maternal instincts have woman running towards their children. It is only the norm in most families. So, yeah Mizura was worried.

"It is okay Fantina," Mizura was quickly there to help. She was able to carefully placed Fantina back into the crib. This relieved Mizura's nerves and allowed her to calm down. She decided to go to bed early along with John.

"That had me worried," Mizura told John that night in the bed. "I mean if we can't take care of just one able to take care of 10 more, or even this new baby that we are having within months? I just don't know if I can handle it we together will be able to. Maybe this baby should be our last one."

"Mizura, don't say stuff like that," John the speaking in his usual soothing manor. I'm sure next child will be fine. However, if you do not want to have 11 children total and we do not have to have 11 children in total. I just knew that was a dream of yours and I would hate to see you crushed so easily like a block of ice."

"Oh John," Mizura was now blushing. I'm so glad that you care so much about me. I really hope we can pull off 11 kids. Because I know that you want to just as many as I did. I hope our family always be together in some way. Because who wouldn't want to lose such a caring loving man like you. Don't you ever forget that. And if you had to remember one thing just remember this. I, love you."

Mizura fell asleep after she had said these words. John was no blushing as he laid next to the woman of his dreams. He knows that his daughter Fantina will grow up to be just like her. As he hopes his new child will also be like Mizura. Loving, sweet, caring, humorous, and attractive. Those were just some of the characteristics of his wife. There are many more that he loved. However if we included all of those, this chapter would be an extremely long story. So for the benefit of yours and my sanity I will keep it brief. But on to the main story!

Two months later, Mizura's water broke and it was time for her to have her new baby. John was so excited for this wonderful blessing. This child is only one day early a very good sign. They figured this child would be healthy and happy. The final moments of Mizura's current pregnancy, were about to begin.

Mizura was transferred to the labor area of the hospital. It was time for her to have her second child. Life was good for this young couple. John had never left his wife's side. Throughout her last pregnancy and this one he was going to stick by her throughout the whole thing. He knew that it would mean a lot to him his wife and she wanted to see his new daughter or son first hand. They began the procedure immediately.

"Alright Mizura," the doctor said. "Begin to push, now!"

Mizura's grunting had hurt John's ears. He had to see his wife in pain. He knew however that she would be able to get through this. He was still as excited as ever.

John is always very optimistic about everything. He always tried to see the bright side in every situation. It was one of the things that Mizura had fallen in love with. She had hopes that both of her new children had his optimism.

After hours of the procedure, the baby had finally arrived to this young couples hands.

"Thank the fucking gods!" John was finally glad that everything was over.

"Congratulations! It is a beautiful baby girl!" Dr. Xi had told them.

"That is excellent news!" John was so happy.

"However, there is something strange about this child."

"And what is that doctor?"

"This child's natural hair color is blue. This is the first known child born in America with this color of hair. I guess that's another thing to celebrate!"

"Really!" Mizura was definitely surprised at this news. "That is incredible. We have a baby with a unique trait! Who knows what other traits this child will have?"

"So, have you two decided on a name."

"Yes we have doctor. We have decided on the name Candace."
