9 months later

"Did you think of a name?" Amara asked, a baby boy in her hands while I cradled the girl in mine.

"Lilith," I told, smiling. The tears frozen on my face and my hair plastered my neck. "Lily like Stargazer Lily."

Amara grinned, her eyes glistening with tears of joy. Alec knocked on the door, Lydia in the shadows behind him.

"Can I come in?" he asked, his lips twitching into a smile as I nodded. Amara handed him his son and grinned at Lydia on her way out.

"Hi," Lydia said in a low voice. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." I let her hold Lilith and she kissed her niece's forehead.

"He's a Hydra," I told Alec. It was nice to see him excited about being a father.

Lydia cleared her throat, eyeing Alec. "She looks exactly like you, Belle."

"And he looks exactly like you." I turned to Alec.

"So, what will his name be?"

"You want me to name him?" Alec's brows rose.

I shrugged. "I named Lily. And you are his father, so it's only fair."

Alec thought. For a moment I wondered if he was making up a name on the spot but then he squared his shoulders and spoke with surety, "Tristan."

My head snapped up. I think even Amara heard him from outside.

I felt tears prick my eyes. Maybe it was because the sunlight was piercing my eyes.

"I mean, if you don't mind," Alec wondered.

Lilith started crying and Lydia handed her to me. "Shhh," Bouncing her gently, I chuckled, looking at my children. Lydia exited and Alec moved to the edge of my bed.

"Lilith Ophiuchus," He said, loving the sound of her name.

Unless you want to give her a long name like you own? Rasal added.

I gave an imperceptible shake of my head.

My dry lips peeled into a smile, "Tristan Hydra."

She's an Ophiuchus, I thought excitedly.

Do you know what that means? Rasal realized.

It hurt a little to admit it. Maybe because it was something the made me different than others but, I'm not The Last Star anymore.

The end.
