Mykel looked at how scared and nervous Hera was. She wasn't afraid of the baby inside her, but because Mykel said he didn't want to have any more of them. Although she was scared, she didn't want to kill the gift that Mykel gave her.
"Why are you scared, Hera?" Mykel asked as he put his left hand on her cheek.
"I'm scared of the decision you're going to make," Hera answered and she shed a tear down to her chin.
Mykel wrapped her right arm around Hera's neck, and then slowly put her head on his shoulder again.
"What are you talking about, Hera? Didn't I tell you? I owe you for helping me back then, and I'll not forget it," Mykel said quietly as he rested his head on top of hers. "If you want it, you can have it. I'm not going to take what's yours," Mykel continued and then kissed her forehead.
Hera sniffled and hugged Mykel so tightly as she hummed with a big smile on her face. Suddenly Lillith groaned and slowly opened her eyes.
