"Mom?!" shouted Luke

Luke ran to the house

Upon reaching the door, he was halted by his father that told him, "We're not allowed in now."

"What's going on dad?" asked Luke

Simon knelt down, although he was worried, he couldn't show it.

For he had a son infront of him and that would worsen the situation.

" Your mother is going through child birth" answered Simon

They both stood outside the house and Luke's mother was in the small room.

The small room however, didn't have a door and so, Simon stood outside to prevent his urge to be by his wife's side.

**********************************************

LATER THAT DAY

***********************************************

Simon and Luke soon, went inside, for the process was done.

When they reach inside the small room, they were greeted by a old lady, she was holding a child while signalling to the two men to keep their voice low.

Azara had awoken when they reached inside.

Soon after the old lady passed the child to Azara and told her in a low voice " It's a boy"

Simon and Luke having realized that Azara was still alive, knelt on the short bed while hiding their tears in the sheet.

For this world had no certainty of the mother to be still alive after birth and Luke had spent a great deal of time with this family.

Luke in his past life was most passed around relatives until he met his grandfather, which was his only cherished family member. Soon after Lenard's Grandfather had passed away, none of his relative offered help and he was transferred to the orphanage.

In this world, Luke had a family and needed the strength to protect his family, even his now little brother.

Azara asked in a weakly voice, " why are you guys crying?"

"I'm not crying, there's salt in my eyes" answered Simon

"I'm not crying, it's just the weather" Luke had said after Simon spoke.

Azara giggling in a weakly voice answered, "Hah, Like Father, Like son"

"What should we name him Simon?" Azara also said in a ghostly voice

" Lets name him Kevin " Simon said

"Kevin" repeated Azara

Luke was astonished at Simon's good naming for Luke was named by his mother and if his father had named him, he would've be called Tret.

Or so Luke has heard from his mother before

"I'll be staying here for a week to check up on her condition." said the old lady before exiting the room.

Luke looked at his father and whispered, " Do you know her?" Directing towards the direction of the old lady

"Not her name atleast" Answered Simon

"She's the one that help Azara when you were being born, I also think it's the lady your mother get's tea from too" Simon responded again

They couldn't ask, Azara, because she was In a weakly state and should not use too much energy.

A moment later, Luke ran out of the house to follow the old lady, that was on the dirt path between their house and the village.

After running to catch up with her, the old lady asked " what do you want?"

" I just want to say thank you" answered Luke

Luke looking down was not aware because he was facing towards the old lady's back.
The old lady had a smile, not a huge but a small smirk.

" What's is your name ma'am?" Luke questioned the old lady

"Sara", The old lady named Sara answered plainly, seeming uninterested

"Thank you Sara" Luke shouted,
stopped walking and stood there bowing.

Sara having heard this continued walking.
"You're not too bad, Luke"
