Shannon: “Don’t push.”

Elias: “Stop pushing.”

Chise did what they said. Though they were nearly there, they came to a complication. As Elias cradle his new daughter, he still can’t help but to worry. Chise became more scare because the second baby was still inside still waiting.

Chise: “I can’t keep sitting here.”

Elias: “What’s wrong Shannon??”

Shannon: “Your second baby is breech. Something is keeping it from coming out. It’s hard to tell what it is.”

Chise: “Is there anything I can do?”

Doctor: “I could do another ultrasound. To see the problem.”

Shannon: “Yes. Do that.”

Chise: “What can I do?”

Shannon: “Just be patient. Relax. It won’t be long.”

As Shannon and the doctor left the room to get the equipment, Chise looked at her stomach. She felt Elias’ hand rubbing her hair. He kissed her forehead while still holding their daughter. Chise hugged both of them while crying. And the baby cried with her.

Elias: “Shh. I don’t like it when both of my girls are sad.”

Chise: (chuckles softly) “I’m sorry. Both of you. I’m just scared. I know I’m trying not to be but I don’t like it when our child is helpless. What should I do?”

Elias: “Just be patient. All is not lost.”

Chise: “Yeah.”

Baby: (crying)

Elias: “Aw. It’s okay. Mommy and Daddy are right here.”

Chise: (moves closer to him) “Yeah. We’re right here.” (gasps) “Elias! Look at her.”

Elias looked too and was shocked just like her. For when the baby girl opened her eyes, they were crimson red just like her father’s natural form. They were glowing too. They watched in awe as the eyes went from a red to a perfect shade of green. The vision became blurry for the baby but when she could see perfectly, she looked up and saw both of her parents smiling at her. She smiled back giving them an adorable cooing sound. The baby reached up and touched her father’s chin with her tiny hands.

Elias: “She’s is just perfect. Just like you.”

Chise: “We don’t know if it’s just the eyes but I’m seeing a bit of you in there too.”

Elias: “I love her so much. And we WILL get her twin out.”

Chise: “That’s right. We’re not giving up…..Emma.”

Elias: (surprised) “Emma?”

Chise: “I’m sorry. I know we said we wait till both are here, but I was caught in the moment. I’m sorry….”

Elias: “No, no. It’s perfect for her. I love it. I love Emma Chise.”

Chise: (giggles) “Okay. Emma it is. Emma Ainsworth.”

Elias: “I love you. I love both of you.”

Chise: “We love you too.”

Shannon: “Hey. How’s it going in here? How’s the little one?”

Chise: “Her name is Emma.”

Shannon: “That’s a lovely name. Well let’s see what’s up so we can bring Emma’s twin brother or sister out. You ready?”
