It was early one morning, about two days after Elara's predicted due date and she was rudely awoken by a powerful kick, when made her jolt a bit. She was laying on her side since she had a very big belly due to her being eight months pregnant and possibly in early labor. Zarkon woke up feeling her jolt and groan in discomfort.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?" He asked, fully awake.

"I think I'm in labor. The baby is kicking me a lot harder than they have before, and I'm getting a contraction." She groaned, feeling a contraction.

"Alright I'll call for Ulaz. You're going into labor. You'll be ok." Zarkon said, getting up to his feet and having a guard call for Ulaz.

Elara had to take herself to the bathroom and her water ended up breaking. Zarkon was right next to her, holding her hand as she continued her heavy breathing as the contractions came and went. They were rough on her indeed. Thankfully, Ulaz came in record time.

"Alright, it's seems that you're readying to give birth. Your child seems to be moving through the birth canal easily so this birth should be quicker than you think." With that little report, she squeezed Zarkon's hand and pushed whenever Ulaz told her to.

After about three hours, she was getting tired.

"I don't know how much longer I can do this for." She panted.

"It's alright. Your very close to being done, just a few more pushes and your kit will be out." Ulaz said.

"Just hold on a little longer. I know you're tired but just a little longer and they'll be here with us again."

With that motivation, she kept pushing until a loud cry was heard.

"It's a girl." Ulaz said, cleaning off the newborn baby and putting her on Elara's chest for skin to skin, mainly imprinting.

"Aw shit..." Zarkon huffed. He had yet another daughter, they wanted the gender to be a surprise and a surprise it was.

"What are you going to name her?" Ulaz asked.

"I like the name Zanthea." Zarkon said.

"I like that too." Elara agreed as she helped her latch onto her so she could have her first meal. Ulaz did all the things he had to do after Zanthea was settled in and left the room.

"She's so perfect." Elara sniffled.

"Maybe because she looks just like her mother." Zarkon said, smiling at his two headaches.

Tomorrow they'd have Zanthea meet her older siblings and the rest of the family.
