Within The Twilight The Princess Hides

1~

It was just around evening prayer for Heba Mana and Lunette when the child wanted to be out in the world. Atem sighed and turned back to what was really important, Lunette and their child. Even thought Atem wasn't in there with Lunette, he was going to pray and give Lunette strength to pull through and be safe.

Atem's mother died giving birth to him and Atem prayed to every Egyptian God that he knew to make sure that Lunette lived and had enough energy to live. Atem knew Lunette was going to make it through though, she was a strong person with a strong soul and would never give up on anything. For the Gods' Mercy she survived a wound to her neck, the destruction of her kingdom and even a war that almost took her life. Plus she has Isis, she is the best Atem knows. Atem knew Lunette was in good hands.

After so many minutes of being in labor and then so much pushing, Lunette was starting to get tired. Sweat was dripping down her face. She just wished that Atem was with her to help her along in all this, but Lunette was knew that she had to do somethings on her own without Atem. This was hard on Lunette, but she was trying to get through it in the end.

Lunette tried to catch her breath after another push.

"Alright Lunette, we're almost there. Just a little bit more." Isis told her queen

Lunette took a deep breath to calm a bit.

"Push my Queen." Isis said.

Lunette did as told and when Isis counted to ten she stopped. She was out of breath again and was getting tired quickly, but her pain was still there and was worse this time. She let out a small scream from the pain.

"I see it. Just one more big push Lunette." Isis ordered.

Lunette caught her breath back then started pushing again, but a little harder this time. Soon Lunette's pain was gone and soon a cry was hear through out the room.

Lunette sighed in relief and fell back against the bed.

"Your daughter's finally here Lunette." Isis announced to him.

Lunette smiled threw her heavy breaths.

Isis gave the baby to one of her assistance, they started to clean him off. She still cried as she was being cleaned. When the assistant was done cleaning the baby off, she handed her to Isis to look over her. Isis only found something small, but the baby was completely healthy.

She walked over to Lunette and handed the baby to her.

Lunette smiled at the little form crying softly and wiggling in her arms. When the baby looked up at Lunette she stopped crying. The baby had black hair that was the shade of Anubis's fur, and big round eyes that mirrored her mother's. She also had Atem's sharp features, and Atem's tan skin even though it and even tone from her parents own.

"I'll go get the Pharaoh." Isis said.

Lunette nodded and Isis walked out.

Atem paced outside the healing chambers doors, he has been for the last hour. His priests just watched him while Mana was keeping her mind on something else. Atem would stop now and then to listen, but got nothing and just keep pacing.

Soon the door to the healing chambers opened. Atem stopped and turned to see Isis walking out. She turned to Atem and smiled.

"Isis, how is she?" Atem asked.

"Just fine. You can come in now." Isis said.

Atem didn't need to be told twice, as soon as Isis said that Atem quickly went to the chambers. Isis chuckled at his actions. She looked at everyone else and just nodded to reassure them. They started to walk off and Isis went back into the room. Atem walking in and after looking around the room. When he got to one bed, he stopped and just stared. He spotted Lunette sitting up in one of the beds with something in her arms. Atem slowly walked over to her. When Atem was close, Lunette looked up at him and smiled when he got close.

"Ah Atem. Come meet our daughter." Lunette said with a smile.

Atem walked over and sat on the side of the bed. He looked down at the bundle in Yugi's arms and his eyes softened. Atem watched as the baby wiggled in Lunette's arms. Then her bio blue eyes moved to Atem and she just looked at him.

"You want to hold her?" Lunette asked.

Atem nodded. Lunette held out the baby to Atem and he wrapped his arms around the baby and held her close.

"Hi there little one." Atem cooed to her.

The baby just looked up at Atem, trying to figure out who he was.

"You know we do need to name her." Lunette reminded Atem.

"Yea I know." Atem said.

"Got any ideas?" Lunette wondered.

"I have one." Atem started.

Atem looked over at Lunette then back down to the baby in his arms.

"Merry." Atem finished. "Lady Merry Go-Round."

Atem looked at Merry.

"You like that name? Merry?" Atem asked him.

Merry cheered and reached up to Atem's hair and chewed on one of his bangs.

Atem smiled at her.

"I think she likes it." Atem said.

Atem noticed Merry yawn and snuggle up in her blanket then fell asleep still holding onto his hair. Atem looked at Lunette and he could see that she was tired as well. Atem leaned over and kissed Lunette's forehead.

"Got to sleep love. You're tired, I know you are. Get some rest. You deserve it." Atem whispered to her.

"Sounds good." Lunette yawned.

Atem smiled as Lunette laid down in the bed and closed her eyes. Soon his breath evened out and was sound asleep. Atem looked down at Merry, still asleep in his arms. Atem kissed her forehead.

"Welcome to the world my daughter." Atem whispered.

Isis was not far off as she watched all of this. She was glad that the royal family was happily together now then she has ever seen them.

Atem looked at the foot of the bed to see a basinet there. Atem got up and laid Merry down into it and moved some bangs out of her face. Atem walked back over to Lunette and kissed her forehead.

"Sleep well love." Atem whispered, even though the moon would be up soon.

Atem walked out of the healing chambers and back to his rom to get some sleep as well.
