Dr. Hunt "Congratulations on your new baby boy." As she trys to hand the baby to Abby and all she can do is look away. Sheila reaches out with a smile and takes the baby. The doctor looks over Abby and helps her out of the tub and takes her into the bathroom. Sheila comes in, hands the baby to Dr. Hunt and runs a warm bath. Both Sheila and the doctor leave the bathroom so Abby can get undressed. Doctor Hunt and Sheila go to the kitchen. "It's not uncommon for a new mother to have this reaction. What I can't figure out is why it was a girl on the ultrasounds and then was born a boy." Sheila looks to Dr. Hunt and smiles. "The world is a beautiful place and everything happens for a reason. All that should matter is that he is healthy." Dr. Hunt smiles at Sheila and hands the baby to her. "Have you thought of a name?" Sheila takes the baby and kisses his head. "Yes, Willo Bennett." Dr. Hunt smiles and takes out some forms to fill out for the birth certificate.

The doctor fills out all the required information. "Finally for the foot prints. Sheila, are you ready?" Sheila steps forward and unwraps Willo's feet. "Here we go." The doctor places a the ink pad against Willo's feet then presses them against the certificate. "All right, now to clean off the feet and I think it's time for me to go." Sheila washes Willo's feet and notices the water follows his feet. "How amazing. I can't wait to see what other gifts you have." Sheila smiles and shuts the water off and dries his feet. She then takes him to the doctor who is packing her stuff up. "Thank you so much for everything." "It was my pleasure Ms Bennett." Sheila hands Willo to the doctor for her to say her goodbyes and then she hands him back to Sheila. After Sheila takes Willo, Dr. Hunt hands over the birth certificate then excuses herself and leaves.

Abby this entire time has been laying in the bathtub. Nothing about this night was what she could have imagined. I was promised a girl she said to herself. "This is all wrong." She suddenly hears some light knocking on the door. "Come in." Sheila opens the bathroom door. "Would you like to hold him now? The doctors gone." "NO." Sheila is taken aback. She holds the baby tighter to her chest. "Well, I can see that you are still worn out. I think it best that you hurry up, get dressed and go to bed. He can stay with me in my room tonight." Sheila leaves the bathroom and heads to her room. She lays the baby in the center of the bed surrounded by pillows before she leaves to get the pack n play for the baby to sleep in.

As soon as Sheila leaves the room, the curtains ruffle a small amount. The baby opens his eyes to look around. Out of a dark corner steps a very beautiful woman. She slowly walks towards the bed. The woman finally reaches the bed and leans down to pick up the baby. She smiles softly and gently touches his cheek. Willo smiles and reaches out for her finger. The woman smiles a little wider and notices the baby's eyes turn to a vibrant violet. "Hello little one. I have a gift for you." Willo looks at the woman and turns his head as if he understands what she is saying. The woman walks around the room bouncing Willo softly. "My name sweet boy, is Qetsiyah and this, this is my gift to you. When you're older you will understand. I will forever watch over you." She places her talisman into his hand. Qetsiyah walks back to the bed and sets Willo back down in the middle of the pillows. She kisses him on the forehead once more and walks backward slowly to the shadows and disappears.

Sheila walks back in. She has the box with the pack n play inside and senses that something or someone was in her room. She sets it down and searches. When she comes up empty handed she walks over to Willo who is laying there making small sounds. As she picks Willo up, she notices that he has something clutched in his hand. As she goes to take a closer look, Willo opens his eyes to look at his grandmother. Sheila gasps. She looks into her grandson's eyes and notices they are the most beautiful shade of violet that shes seen. Sheila looks back in his hand and sees the talisman. She places the baby back on the bed and sets up the pack n play. Gently she picks Willo up and places him in the top cradle part of the bed. Sheila kisses his forehead "I'll be right back my love. I just need to get a couple books." Sheila runs out to get her books. Abby walks past the bedroom and stops to look at Willo. She slowly walks in. "You're not supposed to be here. You're not what I wanted or what I was promised." Abby gets closer to the pack n play. She stops next to the bed and slowly grabs a pillow. She walks closer and closer to Willo who begins to fuss. "You were supposed to be a girl. You were supposed to be my future." Abby raises the pillow and slowly moves it over Willo. Sheila comes through the door dropping her books "What do you think you are doing?!" Abby turns around looking at Sheila with tears streaming down her face. "He isn't supposed to be here. How can you love that thing?" Sheila grabs the pillow out of Abby's hands and throws it. "How dare you. Get out! Get out of my room. We will revisit this situation again in the morning." With that, Abby walks out of the room never looking back. Sheila shuts and locks the door, she bends down to pick up the books and goes to her bed. As she watches over Willo and reads through her books, she reaches out and grabs the talisman that the baby was holding. "I know that I have seen this before." Then it finally hits her and Sheila lets out a gasp. "This belonged to Qetsiyah. How is it possible that you have it?" Sheila realizes that the feeling that she had of someone or something being in her room must have been Qetsiyah herself. She smiles to herself and tells Willo "You must be one special boy to have been able to witness Qetsiyah, and for her to give you this tailsman. You are very special and will be loved by everyone." Sheila flips through a few more pages and finally comes across a drawing of an old tree and a tall being next to it. She searches her memories and gasps. She saw all of this in her dream. The tree, the tall being, the baby boy with violet eyes. "It's you." Sheila turns the page and reads... The rarest of all eleven kind are known as Rockseer elves. They are far taller than most of their kin, with some reaching almost to eight feet in height. "This must have been what I saw in my dream. There is no way a human could ever be that tall." Sheila looks back at Willo "Are you protected by elves?" After she finished the sentence, the baby opens his eyes and his eyes seem to almost glow and he lets a small giggle.
