Aiden "Hello" to the world

It had been a year that Villi and Lily were living together. Lily's belly was getting bigger as the new family member had just arrived to her tummy. She had been pregnant for 3 months. Villi was working so hard these days to provide Lily and the baby to a better life.

"Villi, Villi! The baby is kicking. Come and look," Lily called her husband from the kitchen.

"Lily... I told you not to cook by yourself. Let me do it for you. You just take good care for our baby," Villi said with a little anger while walking into the kitchen.

"Shuh shuh shuh...He is kicking. Listen," Lily reminded.

Villi kneeled down to reach her belly and listen carefully to the sound. Yes, it was kicking.

Villi then stood up and looked at Lily. They were smiling to each other.

"It is the boy," Villi said.

"How do you know?"

"Because his kick is so strong. I think he wants to come out from you so fast."

Lily chuckled. Villi softly kissed her forehead and said,

"He must be cute like his mother."

"He must be manly like his father too," Lily replied.

They laughed together...

Days had passed and summer had changed into autumn.

It was snowing very heavily outside of the little hut. Inside, Lily was battling with death. She tried so hard but the baby didn't came out so easily. She wanted to give up. She couldn't hear anything. Her eyes started to close so slowly.

"Lily, Lily. Don't give up. Please, it's for our baby. Lily, I love you.... Please, Lily don't give up.."

Villi was crying outside of the hut. Inside of the hut was two women and Lily. The women kept pressing to her belly but she was tired and couldn't stand anymore. Finally, she gave up...

"It's a boy!! The baby is born.It's a boy. Villi, Villi," one women yelled.

Lily smiled and whispered,

"Call....him....Aiden."

Then she closed her eyes peacefully. She finally rest in peace.

Villi ran into the room and held Lily's cold body in his hands. He was weeping, kissing her pale forehead a thousand times, who knew if Lily could wake up again.

"Lily...please don't..don't close your eyes..Lily.. You said..you'd be my loyal wife..forever. But now..you leave me without permisson. Lily..Please..." he kept talking to Lily and tears fallingdown like snowing. But sadly, she couldn't hear him anymore.

The two women were sobbing too. But the baby was falling asleep in thier hands like he didn't know anything.

"Villi, we feel sorry for your loss... She gave her life just to save her baby. She is a good mother...Villi, look at your second Lily. He is very alike his mother..."

The woman gave the baby into Villi's hand. Villi was gazing the baby meaninglessly. Then he whispered,

"Aiden..."

The baby opened his eyes like he understood what Villi said. Instead of crying, he smiled at Villi. His smile was like a waterfall, watering Villi's burning heart.

Villi was very surprised at the baby, so were the two women.Then Villi suddenly remembered something. He slowly put the baby down beside his mother.

He whispered, "Let them be together for this night..."
