Where: St Mungo's
When: 12 November, 2025
Summary: A child is born...
"Breathe..."
Lilith was trying, but staying calm and focusing and breathing were things much harder than they sounded right now. Now when it felt as if she were being split in two, and every move stole her breath away in a whimpering gasp...
She clutched at GrandLily's hand and tried to listen. Tried to focus on the soft, encouraging voice, gasping breaths until the contraction waned, leaving her exhausted and limp. "I can't do this..."
"You can. You've got Evans blood in you, remember? You're so strong, and you can do this." GrandLily's hand stroked hers. Brushed damp hair off her forehead. Brushed bits of ice against her lips.
Lilith nodded, then bit her lip as another contraction started, focusing on breathing as loudly as she could for the simple reason that it kept her breathing at all. The Healer's voice blended with GrandLily in a soothing mantra.
"Work for your baby, love. Breathe for your baby..."
~~~
It felt like forever, but her focus returned. She'd felt worse pain than this; the Cruciatus was way worse than this... The Healers helped support her body, and GrandLily offered hands and ice and a soothing cloth to her face. A strong arm to pull against. A firm body behind hers as Lilith propped up to push.
And push.
And push...
Sweat dripped down her face and her hair clung to her cheeks, and she was sure she'd broken the fingers she gripped at, but she couldn't let go. Lilith clung to her grandmother's hand, finally crying out as the child was pushed from her body, sobbing once as another tiny cry joined her own.
