“Ahem,” someone cleared their throat as they entered the room. I turned around and saw a tall, lean man in a white coat, and got up to leave assuming it was the doctor.

“Sit, you can stay. Don’t worry, it’s nothing bad,” he said reassuringly. “Lark, you’ve suffered from temporary shock. It’s not very serious, but I wouldn’t reccomend doing it again.. Considering the state you’re in,” he added, looking down.

“Thank you. Can I leave yet?â€? Lark asked weakly, and yet with a strong voice at the same time. Her deep brown eyes did their best at hiding the pain of the past.

“Sorry, but we would like to keep you here for a little while, so we can make sure everythings.. stable,â€? the doctor said, and then quickly walked out the door.

He left me alone with Lark, the baby, and an awkward silence.

“A girl,â€? she finally said, in almost a whisper. “I just know it. Aurelia.â€? A smile appeared on her face just then, one I hadn’t seen in so long. A smile only found in a state of euphoria.
