It's been some years since the disappearance of Yoya, Loreyu and Lily. Since that day Eytukan has been extra protective of our children Temnawri and Atan. The days came and went, Temnawri was already 12 and Atan was 4, already running around with group of Na'vi and having fun.

Temnawri was out practicing shooting arrows. I laid there in the hammock with Mo'at, rubbing her swollen belly. "You feeling okay?" Mo'at smiled, she rested her chin on my head. "I'm fine Yawne, just enjoying your presence." I felt a bit relieved her words, I've always been the one that was so, her being pregnant. This often made me overly-protective of her, since she acts like she Mo'at went to get up and I freaked out. "Don't you dare, where are you going?" Mo'at smiled. "I'm going out, I wanted to pick herbs." I hugged her, keeping her there. "No, earlier today you tried fighting a pack of Viper Wolves when you went out to pick some herbs, it scared me."

Mo'at laughed at my words, as she rubbed my back. "Okay, okay, I stay here with you." She nuzzled her face in into my neck, placing kissing against it. "Not that I mind being here with you like this." Mo'at placed her hand on my stomach and I blushed a little bit. "I can't wait for you to tell us when you're ready for another baby."

Eytukan had came back inside, and upon hearing Mo'at's words he sighed. "Don't rush her Mo'at, it's her choice." Mo'at narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm not pressuring her, I'm just saying that whenever she's ready, we'll be ready!" I flinched back a little by the sharpness of her voice. Lately, her mood swings have been more frequent and she's been more easy to rattle. "H-Hey... it's okay I understand what you're saying Mo, I know you're not pushing me, come here." I held my arms out to her and she cuddled into my chest.

Eytukan tried to get in beside her and she growled at him. "Go away." Eytukan huffed and went on my side. "Don't you dare." Eytukan narrowed his eyes at her. "Come on now Mo'at, he didn't mean anything by what he said remember he's an skxawng, forgive him." She huffed and moved over, with me in her arms.

Eytukan sighed finally being able to snuggle next to me. When Mo'at fell asleep he began to stroke her hair making her less tense. "She more attached to you, when she's pregnant." I chuckled a bit, hearing Eytukan's words. "I know."

Eytukan moved his other hand to touch my face. "What is your standing on..?" Eytukan stopped his question, fearing he might upset me. "Not yet, I'm still working through some things, soon maybe. I'll let you two know." Eytukan smiled, dropping it. "Okay, goodnight." He kissed the back of my head, before resting beside me.

I felt the hammock shift and heard Mo'at grunt in discomfort. Nothing worried me more than that. "Mo'at, what's wrong?!" I woke up to see Mo'at holding me, as she nuzzled her face in my chest. "I'm in labor... I just want you stay with me right now, this is the most comfortable I can get right now." Eytukan came back in our kelku. "Eytukan, there you are." He walked towards me. "Sorry, I had a matter to deal with."

"Mo'at, come here." Eytukan helped her up, leaning her against him, to which made her groan from the pain. "The baby is coming." Eytukan helped her up. "Sof, go get our best healer Alira, we'll meet you at the healing hut." Mo'at groaned reaching for me. "Don't worry, I'll be back!"

I nodded running out to get bring Alira to Mo'at hut. "Alira, wake up, hurry!" I heard slow footsteps and saw Alira staring at me, looking tired. "Mo'at is in labor!" Alira eyes went wide. "Okay, don't panic, be with her now, I'll met you there."

I ran back into our kelku as Mo'at looked like she was squeezing the very life out Eytukan's hand. "Mo'at, don't worry, Alira is coming." Mo'at let some tears fall as she stared up at me. "Now I know how you felt going through this." I rest her head in my lap and stroked her head, trying to bring her some comfort. I glanced over staring at Eytukan who was getting the worse end of the deal by his hand being in a vise grip.

Alira came with a vile. "Drink, it should help with the pain." She brought the wooden containers to Mo'at's lips and she drank the medicine he prepared. I watched her face scrunch up from the taste, I knew from experience from how bitter it was, but it helps. "Now, I'm going to need you to push." After some pushes and hearing Mo'at screaming. "It's hurts!" I ran my fingers through her hair. "I know, just a little longer." Along with seeing Eytukan hand start changing colors, the new addition to our family was born. "It's a little girl." I kissed her forehead as we heard our daughter's cries. "You did so well."

My eyes softened at Mo'at who bonded with the baby. It's tradition that the mother and baby bonded soon after birth. Since when I had my babies I couldn't because I didn't have a queue, I didn't get this experience.

Eytukan smiled, staring at the baby. "She's beautiful just like you my heart." Mo'at stared at the baby with tears in her eyes, while I stared at her size, since almost as big just like Atan was. "Wow, she's here." Mo'at laughed a bit in response. "Yes, yawne." Eytukan kissed Mo'at's cheek. "What do you want to name her?" Mo'at smiled. "Sylwanin te Tskaha Mo'at'ite."

Mo'at handed Sylwanin to me. "Here, hold your daughter." I was a little anxious since I thought Eytukan should hold her first and I was a bit anxious. "Mo'at... maybe our mate, Eytukan should hold her, I mean he helped create her." Mo'at narrowed her eyes at me. "I spent 5 hours pushing her out of my body, I say who holds her next." My eyes widened hearing the sternness in her voice. "Okay!"

I quickly took Sylwanin from her with Eytukan's help. "Oh wow, thanks." Sylwanin just stared back at me. "Hi Sylwanin, I'm your mommy." Sylwanin smiled giving out a small coo, my heart melted. Mo'at smiled at me, as she stared at us with amusement. "You look so happy."

I smirked thinking about what she could be doing. "Mo'at you wanted me to hold her to get baby fever." Eytukan sighed as he rubbed some gel like paste over Mo'at stomach. "That's underhanded, my heart." Mo'at laughed a bit. "No, but... if you want one later we won't object to it, I want you to take your time, till then." Eytukan smiled. I was so confused. "Then why did you want me to hold her first?" Eytukan gave Mo'at a vile with medicine. "It's tradition that all new mothers hold the infant, it's important for them to get that special moment."

Sylwanin grabbed one of my braids and stared up at me. Eytukan chuckled. "It seems like she wants her mommy's attention. " I smiled back at the baby. "Right, sorry baby." Sylwanin hand quickly went to my top, tugging at it. "Oh, sorry. I'm not the one to get that from, Mo'at?" Mo'at took our daughter into her arms. "Come here." Soon as Mo'at brought her close enough, she started nursing.

After she was fed, Eytukan finally got his time with the baby, while spent some time with Mo'at. I rubbed Mo'at's now flat belly. "How are you feeling?" Mo'at sighed resting her head on mine. "I'll be fine, once Alira let's me go home, I want to snuggle with both you in our hammock. Mo'at turned her body, she got between my legs and laid on me, her head resting against my chest. "This is better." I chuckled as Eytukan gave a small smile.
