"You need to push harder or you will suffocate the baby," the woman said ,she had only agreed to help Ekene, the pregnant woman ,queen to the Kinash kingdom, give birth because their relationship was more of sisters. After Ekene lost her family and home Jerico ,her husband, introduced her to Miri who helped her blend in with the people of Planet K4 and from that day they became friends and later on sisters.

Ekene was different ,different from all the people ,she possessed strong energy and power but that did not stop her from blending in with the people of Planet K4 .Months later Jerico proposed marriage to her at first she was not sure about her leading a whole kingdom nut after much talking she later on agreed and she officially became a Queen.

"Ahhh...I can not push anymore!" she screamed ,the pain was unbearable and she felt like for every push the pain was getting more severe .After much crying and pushing she finally gave birth to the twins ,a boy and a girl .

Ekene and Miri were in the basement room nursing the kids when Ekene broke the news to Miri about what they had to do about the other baby. "Take her ,Aife, to another planet and raise her there do not tell her about her origins and she should never set foot to this kingdom or planet," Ekene said ,her voice was filled with sadness and helplessness, "What! I shall do no such thing Ekene , how can i do such ,what do you take me for?" she asked amused by her sister's suggestion.

"What more can i do if she stays here she will be killed and along her my son and i ,it is the best for all of us ," she said walking closer to Miri. "But why her?" , "Because Jerico always wanted a son ,an heir to take over his throne."

"Sister who told you that a girl can not be an heir?" , "I did not say so please let us not waste time arguing about this we need to act fast before Jerico gets suspicious and searches for me ," Ekene said giving Miri the baby .

As soon as night fell ,Miri departed the planet with the baby and Ekene went back home to her husband but as she was getting closer the more the pain sunk in ,that she sent away her only baby girl.
