Summary: Lola's pregnancy with Raven.

---

Months passed, and Lola’s pregnancy progressed. It wasn’t easy—there were constant whispers, judgments, and an increasing tension between her and Draco. Her belly grew rounder, and every day she felt a little more connected to the tiny life inside her. But she wasn’t alone. Mattheo was with her every step of the way, offering comfort and love.

Draco, though still distant, seemed to be softening. He hadn’t apologized, but there were times when Lola caught him watching her with a mix of concern and curiosity.

The night came when Lola went into labor. She and Mattheo had spent the evening preparing for the birth, and the nervous excitement was palpable. It was a cold night, and Lola was in their shared dormitory, surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight.

“Mattheo…” she whispered, gripping his hand tightly. “I’m scared.”

Mattheo’s voice was calm, his confidence reassuring. “I know, love. But we’re in this together. I’m right here.”

With each contraction, Lola’s grip tightened. The pain was intense, but she clung to Mattheo’s words, focusing on the sound of his voice. Time seemed to stretch as they waited for the arrival of their baby.

And then, at last, with one final, exhausting push, the room was filled with the sound of a baby’s first cry.

Tears sprang to Lola’s eyes as the healer placed their newborn daughter into her arms. “It’s a girl,” the healer said softly.

Lola gazed down at the tiny, squirming infant in her arms, her heart swelling with love. “Raven,” she whispered, meeting Mattheo’s gaze. “Her name is Raven.”

Mattheo smiled, his eyes filled with emotion. “She’s perfect.”

In that moment, as Lola held Raven close, everything felt right. The world outside didn’t matter. They had their family—Raven, their little miracle—and nothing else could compare.
