"But a giver can coax." He muttered grumpily, leaning back, crossing his arms, trying to relax for an even more longer wait.

5 more hours of screams, pain, and agony, before Raimi finally collapsed back onto the pillows, panting, eyes almost closed.
He was so tired.... He wanted to sob and cry... To scream... Something...
He watched as if in a fog as they held up the baby.
Was...he supposed to be blue...? Why....why wasn't he crying...? Didn't...they cry...?
The Doctor and servants hurried over to a basin of warm water, and the Doctor smacked the babe before beginning to breath into it's little mouth, and then servants blocked his view, dabbing his forehead with cool clothes, and murmuring to him.
Why....?

He was nothing but nerves now as the screams inside died down. There was commotion..was the babe finally here? Raimi was quiet now, and that both scared and relieved him. Relief because it was potentially over. Fear because of the innate possibility that he could die. It was his first birth..what if he hadn't made it?
Zadkael could not stop himself from standing to pace again, hands clenched tightly.

He could here faint gurgles and tiny coughs, and then, a loud, sharp, piercing scream.
He felt relieved now...
The two servants helped him sit up, placing pillows behind him to he could sit reclined, even in his semi-dazed state, and they set the babe in his arms, wrapped tightly in a blanket.
He was still a dark, unhealthy blue, and his screams marred by tiny garbled coughs, but...
He began to cry. He...he was.... This was... His baby...
---
The doctor finally stepped out, and bowed. "Majesty, your Graces.... It is a giver."

"A giver..." Zadkael sighed in relief, laughing some. "Have it be known that Raimi is my High-mate," He pointed to his advisiors before looking to the doctor. "I may go in now?" It was almost silly to ask...

He nodded, "Yes."

"Thank you for you hard work," he was nearly grinning as he stepped past the doctor, pushing past the thick curtain and into the room.
His eyes went to Raimi and he just basked in the sight of him before stepping forward until he could see the babe. He came to a stop beside the bed, seating himself there, ingers skimming over the blanket.
"He is....so tiny," he murmured, looking to an exhausted Raimi. "A giver..my heir."

He nodded slowly, "....yes...." He hoped... Prayed that he'd give the King an heir... If he hadn't..
Would he have honestly tried to keep him at his side...?
He shook that off... He didn't need to worry about that now... But... Was the King really happy...? Was he proud of him...?
The baby was still making noises, although they were nothing but tired little whimpers, his color slowly turning to bright pink.

"You've done well, my Raimi," he murmured, pressing a much deserved kiss to a sweat covered brow. "You've made me the proudest king to ever be." His fingers moved from a blanket to a softly rounded cheek to caress across a tiny little nose. He was so soft...tiny and..beautiful. Of course, he'd been an unhealthy blue when he'd first seen him, but now he was pink...a very healthy pink.
"What is his name to be, hm?" He asked, his eyes fixed on the being wrapped against Raimi's chest. "The advisors are waiting, to announce him to the empire." He wanted Raimi to be able to decide. Or atleast suggest.

He looked up at him, shocked, although the fatigue was still present. He...he wanted him to... To help...name him...? To name him...  |

"That's right. After all, he is our son, Raimiael. I would ask that you be by my side in everything in his life. Including his naming." His hand fell to cup over Raimiael's on their son, holding him up.

H---had.... Had he gone...mad....?
But...he could at least take this little chance...
"S....Sabrael....?" he tried. It was strange...naming someone with the Royal ending....

"Sabrael....a strong name...Then Sabrael it shall be." He stroked the back of his hand before standing.
He moved to the curtain, pulling it back some. "His name is Sabrael," he spoke to his advisors before turning to take up the post at his side again.
"Are you alright..? It took hours."

His cheeks would have tinged pink had he not been so worn out.
"I--- Please...d--don't concern yourself over me, Majesty..."

"But I must...You've spent all morning bearing him. You're exhausted, and I don't doubt you hurt. You need your rest," he brushed back his hair. "A nice, long rest." He glanced down at Sabrael, whom was napping against his mother, his little mouth set into a pout.
