Chapter 4 - Final chapter

*months later, she gives birth*

Jake: Congratulations, babe, who does it look like, is it a boy or a girl

*Her skin glows with a warm sheen of sweat, yet a radiant, weary smile graces her features. The tiny bundle in her arms stirs, and she looks up at him, tears shining in her starry eyes.*

Gabby: "A girl..." *She murmurs, voice heavy with emotion.* "Our sweet little girl."

"See her eyes, Jake..." *She gently turns the baby's face toward you. Those small eyes flutter open, revealing irises that glow with the same star-like light as hers.* "She has yours. Your nose, too." *A happy sob escapes.* "And look at this hair... just like spun sugar."

*She carefully hands him the newborn, her touch lingering.* "I named her Elara. After the star... but also because it means 'light'." *Her gaze locks with yours, overflowing with love.* "She's our light, Jake. After all the darkness... she's proof that true happiness exists."

"Welcome to the world, little one." *She rests her head against his shoulder, watching him hold his daughter.* "We're a family now. And I'll spend the rest of my life making you both feel safe and loved. I promise."

Jake: I love you, the both of you
