The tears on the parents’ faces were soon matched by streaks down the blonde doctor’s as she silently observed the reunion, struggling to keep her emotions in check to just a mild cry instead of the full-on body-wracking sobs that were teetering nearby.

Jessica forced a smile through the tears coursing down her cheeks, mimicking S’Raal’s action to wipe her eyes, albeit slightly uselessly since her green eyes were still brimming and then overflowing. “You’re welcome,” she responded, simply, and then reached out to gently stroke the newborn’s arm.
