Nine Months Later
Sophia grips Halrik’s arm with the might of ten men. She screams and puffs, face red with frustration, pain, and sweat. Halrik encourages her from beside the bed. Simultaneously overjoyed and overworked, Sophia is steadfast. Halrik, although tired from both his knightly duties and the stressful situation, continues to keep positive and reinforce his partners efforts.
