Cora: *more screaming in the background*
Pegasus: *holding his head badly hung over* Stop screaming I have a headache!!
Jani: Hello Mr. Lazy Man.
Pegasus: I'm not lazy.. I'm in pain!!
Cora: *more screaming echoes from the other side of the house*
Pegasus: *holds his head* What is the matter with Miss Cora?
Jani: Cora is having an alien pop out of her tummy!!
Pegasus: Oh my god! She's having complications and I'm not there!! *tries to get up but falls back down* Oh my lord.. my head...
-----
Vaieh: *speaking calmly over Cora's loud screaming* Corina... I need you just to push one more time.. I can see her head - you have to push one more time!
Cora: *whimpers* I can't... I'm too tired.. It hurts...
Xerxes: *holding the back of Cora's head* We've been at this for hours now... if you just push we can all take a nap!!
Cora: *screams again and gives a final push, hearing the cry of a baby*
Vaieh: *holds the baby, cleaning her off with a towel* It's a girl... you were right!!
Baby: *wails as Vaieh cleans her off*
Cora: *cries tears of happiness, reaching out* My baby! My sweet baby!
Xerxes: Can I hold it?! *looks at Cora, thinking outloud* Wait.. you should hold it first.
Cora: *is handed her baby who stops crying as Cora takes her into her arms, still sobbing over her child* My sweet girl... My sweet little girl.. I can finally meet you and see your face... *sobs* Welcome home...

Eden: *walks into the sitting room, silently* .......
Locke: *nearly jumps out of his chair, his knuckles turning white as his hands clenched* Who's child is it?!?
Eden: Not yours, Locke. Happy to report that.
Locke: *a very strange look crosses his face as he looks away* Thank god!! I told you I was not that brat's father!!
Eden: *is caught a little offguard* Locke... you look... almost... disappointed.
Locke: *jumps up to leave quickly* Don't be a fool, Eden!! *storms out of the room*
Eden: *walks in to where Jani and Pegasus are sitting* The baby is born.. it's a girl.
Jani: Yaay! *runs off to see* An alien!!
Pegasus: *looks a little groggy still* Is Miss Cora and the child allright? Were there complications?
Eden: *sits down* No.. Cora is fine. So is the baby.
Pegasus: Oh that's a relief! A true relief.
Eden: But... the child has white hair. It means that either you or Xerxes are the father... Xerxes has already claimed the baby for his own... if you want to step away from the situation - now is your chance.
Eden: He wants this baby... you don't have to take responsibility for this.
Pegasus: How could you even suggest something like that?! For me not to take responsiblity for a child that could be mine?! Even if it isn't.. I promised Cora I would!
Pegasus: *was way too drunk to remember meeting X* Whoever this Xerxes fellow is... I hope that he would not object my involvement in this child's life.
Pegasus: Selfish matters aside... I am just happy that both are okay...
Pegasus: ...... You wouldn't happen to have any aspirin would you?
Eden: Holy crap... you're a freaking lightweight... you should go see Cora sometime soon.. probably after we've cleaned everything up and after you are done being halfdrunk still...
Pegasus: I take offense to this comment!! I NEVER GET DRUNK!!
--------
Xerxes: *is completely exhausted, passed out on the other side of V's bed, snoring lightly*
Cora: *humming to herself*
Cora: *holds her baby to her breast, nursing her as she stares into her small little face* My sweet little girl...
Cora: I am so happy to finally see your face...
V: *bursts into the room, throwing his briefcase to the side of the door as he runs in* Cora!!
Cora: *looks up* V!! I had a baby!!
V: *stares silently at Cora's exposed breast* ...... Sorry I was late. We had a snowstorm.. the roads and traffic were terrible.
Cora: *holds up the baby* Would you like to see her?
V: *takes the baby into his arms, looking down at her and smiling* She is so beautiful Cora... what is her name?
Cora: Her name is Camilla... Camilla Rose. I will give her my adopted last name of Croquet.
V: *smiles back down at the baby* Camilla Rose Croquet. Very cute, just like her mom.
Cora: *giggles* Thanks~
