The empress stood there heart racing with excitement and worry as she pounded on the castle door.  

Two seconds passed when Colin flung the door open so fast you'd have thought it would come off of the hinges. 

"Good you made it." He greeted the empress.

"Is the child born yet?" She asked.

"Almost, come on." He told her and the both darted up the stairs.  Turning the corner they walked into see Lily wincing in pain. The doctor looked over and nodded. 

"She's almost ready, any minute now." The doctor informed Colin. 

"Thank you, doc."  He replied.

"Are you okay?" Ralvania asked her.

"Ask me that when this is over." Lily told her.

"Fair enough" She replied, walking over to stand on one side of the Queen. Colin stood on the other side.

"I'm glad you made it."  Lily told her god-mother.

"Me too, young one." 

                  Thirteen minutes after the empress walked into the castle, a huge blinding gold light bust through the room.  It rained glitter as the heiress to the fairy kingdom entered the world upon the stroke of midnight. 

It was a wonderful, joyous occasion as Lily beamed with pride over the life she and Colin had created. 

The newborn fairy was precious. Golden hair with a hint of glitter. Her wings were white then light blue with light pink ends. As her eyes fluttered open, they were a light rose color. She was an enchantingly beautiful fairy princess. 

After Lily and Colin had time to talk and hold thier newborn baby girl, Lily turned to Ralvania.

"Would you like to hold her?" 

"Yes."  She replied scooping the tiny fairy in her arms.

"Honey do you need anything?" Colin asked.

"Ring the staff for coffee." She replied, he did as she'd requested.

ten minutes later the servant entered the room. He set down the tray and waited until the king nodded, dismissing the over-sized gnome. 

"Thank you dear." Lily told him.

Ralvania held the newborn a little longer when she felt a sharp jolt. Knowing it was a vision of the changeling in her arms.  She debated on telling them, but visions can change. It wasn't a bad vibe, she saw the child at about six years old, shapeshift.
