Elizabeth laid down on the bed. Her body was shaking violently. Will laid on the left of her in the same bed. She had just given birth to a baby boy. A maid had taken him away to be cleaned up. Will put his hand on her stomach and rubbed it. He was trying to calm her down, but nothing seemed to work.
"Will. I w-want to s-see him."
"You will darling. The maid is just cleaning him up." Governor Swan came into the room.
"I am very disappointed that you have gone through with this Elizabeth. No daughter of mine should ever bare a child. At least not with a blacksmith" he explained
"But I d-did. I w-wanted a c-child of my own and I w-wanted to have one w-with W-Will." Elizabeth started. "I want t-to be normal." Her father eyed her curiously.
"What are you saying then?" he asked
"I'm s-saying that after I s-see my c-child, I'm l-leaving and t-taking him with m-me." Her father stepped back a few steps out of surprise. "I d-don't want t-to be the governor's d-daughter anymore." There were tiny tears welling in her eyes. It could have been from the pain of giving birth, or the pain of leaving her father and her family. It was probably her father though, who was suffering the most pain, because as soon as she saw her child, he would lose his only daughter. He was so tempted to make it so she would never see her new born son, but he knew that if this was what she wanted, that's what she would get. Her father left the room, about to break out in tears. It hurt him, because he hadn't done it in a long time.
The maid came in with the child. He was wrapped in warm wool blanket. His eyes were closed and his tongue what slightly stuck out. He looked like he just ate something really sour.
"Will. You were right. He is beautiful." Elizabeth started to cry. She had calmed down and was back to normal. "What will we name him?"
"William. It's a family name." Elizabeth nodded in approval.
"Mia, please pack my bags. Put all of my dresses and sentimental items in them. I am leaving."
