Aaaaaah!!!!!, the woman screamed, We're almost there my lady, a women who appeared to be the middle lady said, Aaaaah!!!, the woman on the bed screamed again, the smell of blood engulfed the whole room, the screams could be heard from a 3 mile distance however Lady Su pushed on, she needed to deliver this child, for her husband. 
Aaaaah!!!!, she shouted again but her screams were barely audible as the sound of a baby's cry filled the room, the women smiled and giggled in joy. Congratulations Lady Su, you have a daughter. A wide smile spread across Lady Su's face before she fainted, the pain drowning her consciousness," Let us leave, we must deliver it" was the last thing Lady Su heard.
      She woke up the next day, small traces of the familiar pain in her body, it took a while before her eyes adjusted to the light, she looked to the side and saw her husband, his hair was messy, his eyes puffy and weird, traces of tears still visible, she tried to speak, to ask him why he looked like that but no words came out of her mouth, her throat felt dry and uncomfortable, and like he could read her mind he reached for the glass of water on the bedtable beside her, she grabbed it and nodded as a sign of thanks and drank the water. She instantly felt better as she drank the water, "thanks", she said though her voice was still hoarse, he looked into her eyes and sighed deeply, a tear falling out of his eye," I'm sorry" he said looking down, afraid of meeting her gaze, but she held his chin and made him look at her, she smiled and said " It's okay, lots of women do this, the only thing that matters is you and our daughter". Another tear dropped from Arthur's eyes, he looked down and sobbed quietly, Alicia didn't know what was wrong with her husband, she looked around and wondered where her daughter was, she then looked at Arthur and asked "Where's Rosalind?", that was the named they had agreed on for the child, be it a girl, that just made Arthur's sobs increase. Alicia started to get worried " Arthur, where's our child?" she  asked cautiously as she was getting anxious, then Arthur raised his face and looked her in the eye, his red eye revealing the pain he was feeling, "She's gone" he said and those two words were all it took, Alicia passed out and started convulsing, Doctor!!!, Arthur yelled
