Even Rin was nervous as well. "I hope they come out fine" she said
Aiden turned towards her. "They will"
Minutes felt like hours. Then suddenly, through the tense silence, came a sound that made Aiden's heart stop.
A baby's cry. High-pitched, indignant, full of life.
Followed seconds later by another. Different in tone but equally strong.
Aiden's head quickly turned toward the door. Before Rin or Aeris could say anything, he was already moving to push the door open.
And the scene that greeted him would be burned into his memory forever.
Laela sat upright in her bed, exhausted but glowing with joy. In her arms was a tiny infact wrapped in a warm blanket. The baby had stopped crying and was now making small, curious sounds.
Arianna lay in her bed as well, cradling her own child wrapped in a blanket as well. She looked equally tired and equally radiant.
Gaia stood between the beds, her hands still glowing with healing magic as she monitored both mothers and children.
