Ellias moved towards Lena and placed his hand on her belly. The midwives didn't notice but a strand of energy phased out of Elias at that moment and infiltrated Lena insides.

Elias carefully lifted the child, a healthy baby boy, and placed him in her arms.

The room was quiet now except for the soft cries of the baby and the gentle murmurs of the midwife and attendants.
