Sarah has reached the end of her pregnancy. Her belly is so big that she can not see her feet anymore, and spends most of her days resting. Fortunately, Arthur is there to support her emotionally.

They saw Charlotte several times, the two women became friends, and one day Sarah asked her if she wanted to become the baby's godmother. Charlotte accepted immediately, she has the feeling of having a new family, and Sarah is like a sister in her eyes.

/A week later/

It's a beautiful sunny day, I'm sitting in a chair and reading a book, I saw Arthur coming back from the hunt, I slowly get up and walk towards him to kiss him.

- You had a good day? He asks me.

- Yes, a good and calm day. I told him with a smile.

He puts a hand on my belly, I think we are more ready than ever to have this child.

- I'll prepare something for you to drink, Arthur. Go sit down.

- I'd rather you rest ...

- Arthur ... there's nothing tiring about making a drink ... come on, sit down. I wink at him.

He sits on the chair on the porch, I go into the house and prepare a glass of whiskey for him. And when I went out to give him his drink, I was seized with a violent pain in my belly, I drop the glass that breaks on the floor. Arthur gets up and rushes to me.

- Are you okay? He asks me worried.

- My belly .... it hurts ....

I felt another pain even more intense than the previous one, and I felt something warm between my legs. I look down and see water ... Arthur and I exchange a look.

- The baby .... Arthur .....

- It's okay, come on ... He said.

He helps me get into the house and lie down in our bed. The contraction becomes more and more painful.

- You don't move, I'm going to get a doctor.

- No ... no, please ... do not leave me alone ...

- I'll be quick, okay? I'm going to tell Charlotte and she'll be with you.

He caresses my cheek and I nod in agreement. He puts on his jacket and goes to warn Charlotte and goes to get a doctor.The pain becomes intolerable, I try to undress but it hurts too much. At the same moment, Charlotte enters the room and rushes towards me. She helps me take off my clothes, puts some pillow behind my head, and prepares a bowl of hot water.

- It's okay, Arthur will soon be there with a doctor. Inspires through the nose and exhales through the mouth ...She said.

I do as she tells me, I take deep breaths, but the contractions are now too painful, I grab a pillow and scream in it. When the contraction goes away, I hear horses arrive.

- ARTHUR !!!! I had a contraction when I said his name.

The door opened and I saw the doctor coming in followed by Arthur. He comes to take my hand and kiss my forehead.

- I'm here, I'm here ...

- Madam, I'm going to need your help. Said the doctor to Charlotte.

- And ... and Arthur? I ask, out of breath.

- Sir, please wait outside the room ....

- NO!! I shouted to the doctor.

I do not want him to go away, especially now. He takes my hand and looks at me in the eyes.The doctor agrees that he stays, he lifts the blanket to see how things are going.

- That's good, ma'am! I already see the head! Inhale and push! Said the doctor.

.................................

The delivery lasts several minutes, Arthur reassures Sarah, tells her that everything is fine, Charlotte is helping the doctor, and Sarah gives all her energy to give birth to the child she has been waiting for nine months.

Then, a crying ... everything becomes calm in the room ... The only thing that is heard is the crying of a baby.Sarah opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the crying. She sees her baby ... their baby and starts crying with joy.

The doctor places the baby on Sarah, Arthur approaches and they contemplate their baby.

Arthur puts a hand on the baby, and Sarah says:

- Is it a girl or a boy?...

- It's a little girl. Answered the doctor.

Sarah turns her head to Arthur and smiles, she can not help crying.

- A girl ... we have a little girl .... she said with her broken voice.

Arthur looks at Sarah and kisses her forehead, he looks back at their little girl and asks:

- How do you want to call her?

- Beatrice ... her name is Beatrice ...

- Beatrice? But that was the name ....

- Of your mother, Arthur ...

Arthur looks at Sarah, and he buried his face in her neck. This day will forever be remembered. From now on, Arthur and Sarah will protect and love their daughter: Beatrice Morgan.
