The Birth of Lynz-Si
By:SnowPuppy
Kay-Si was in the living room, sitting on the couch reading a book. But 
her 
focus really wasn't on the book. She kept thinking about her 
pregnancy;and 
that same question raced through her mind: would she live through this, 
would 
both her, and her baby, survive?
She just couldn't get it off of her mind. Moonwatcher then came in the 
room 
and noticed the expression on his mother's face.
"Mom...?" He asked.
"What?" Asked Kay-Si.
"Are you alright?" Moonwatcher asked his mother.
"Yes... I'm fine." Kay-Si replied.
And, without saying more, Moonwatcher walked out of the room.
Kay-Si put down her book, and went into her's and Steppenwolf's bedroom 
to 
rest. She collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
But she had a dream. A very terrifying dream. 
She dreamt that she died before she even got to meet her new baby. This 
dream 
sent her awake in a flash.
She then noticed that she was in the covers, which she hadn't been 
before. 
She looked to her side and found the answer of why she was in the 
covers now 
when she wasn't before.
Her husband, Steppenwolf, was sound asleep next to her. She looked at 
the 
clock;12:00AM!
She had been asleep for a long time, she noticed, because she went to 
sleep 
at 6:00PM, because she was really tired.
That same question kept haunting her... would she die or live? She 
couldn't 
help it. That question had been haunting her ever since she found out 
she was 
pregnant.
But she didn't want to go to sleep, for number 1, she was afraid she'd 
have 
another terrifying dream. And for number 2, she wasn't tired anymore. 
She decided to take a walk outside, even if it was dark, for maybe it 
would 
calm her down a bit. She slowly got out of bed, careful not to wake 
Steppenwolf, whom was still sound asleep.
She made her way out of the house and out into the night. She took a 
walk, 
and when she got tired, she sat down under a tree. She sighed, and 
looked up 
into the sky, where the many stars shined down on the island.
After staring into the sky for so long, she fell asleep. But a noise 
woke her.
She looked all around, and saw what looked like the figure of an 
echidna 
coming towards her. Her eyes widened as she saw who it was.
It was, Lyssa-Ra?! 
My eyes must be deceiving me, she thought, that can't be 
Lyssa-Ra;Lyssa-Ra is 
dead!
"Kay-Si" Spoke Lyssa-Ra.
"Lyssa-Ra? Is that... you?" Kay-Si asked, frightened.
"Yes, it's me." Lyssa-Ra answered.
"But... how can that be?" Kay-Si asked in confusement.
"It just is, Kay-Si. Someday you will understand." Lyssa-Ra said to 
Kay-Si.
"Well, if that IS you," began Kay-Si, "what are you doing here?"
"I know you are very upset because you are afraid of death, Kay-Si," 
began 
Lyssa-Ra. "But there's no reason to be."
"Not just death," said Kay-Si, "I'm also afraid that I'll lose my baby, 
and 
I'll live. Or vise versa. I'm so afraid... it's been haunting me ever 
since I 
found out I was pregnant."
"Well just keep calm, Kay-Si," Lyssa-Ra told Kay-Si. "You AND your baby 
have 
a better chance of living if you dont worry about it so much. So 
please, dont 
worry so much about it. I dont want you to die and join me, Kay-Si. You 
have 
so much to live for." 
"Thanks. I will try not to worry so much." Kay-Si said.
But then, everything disappeared. All Kay-Si saw now was nothing, and 
she 
felt someone shake her and tell her to wake up, which she soon 
recognized as 
Steppenwolf.
Kay-Si slowly opened her eyes and saw her husband looking down at her. 
She 
then noticed that it was now daytime.
Was I just dreaming? She wondered, was all that just a dream?
"Kay-Si, I have been looking for you everywhere!" Steppenwolf told her.
Steppenwolf's voice snapped her back to reality.
"Sorry." She managed to say.
"That's okay... but... what are you doing out here anyway?" Steppenwolf 
asked 
her.
"Well I didn't feel all that great, and I thought coming out here would 
make 
me feel better." Replied Kay-Si.
"Is your pregnancy still on your mind?" Steppenwolf asked her.
"Yes, it has been. All night." Replied Kay-Si.
"Please try to relax, Kay-Si," Steppenwolf told her. "I know your 
worried 
about whats going to happen, I am too. I dont want to lose you, or our 
baby. 
But you must relax, Kay-Si. Or this is going to haunt you until the 
time 
comes for you to give birth."
"Yes, I know," Kay-Si said, "Lyssa-Ra told me."
"Lyssa-Ra...?" Steppenwolf asked in confusement.
"Yes, she told me not to worry about it so much... but it was only a 
dream." 
Kay-Si told Steppenwolf.
"Well dream or no dream, she was right. You dont need to worry about it 
so 
much." Steppenwolf told his wife.
"But what if something does happen?" Kay-Si said, frightened.
"If something does happen, then we will worry about it when it does. 
But 
there's no reason to worry about it now. Your just going to give 
yourself a 
hard time." Steppenwolf said.
"Maybe your right." Kay-Si admitted.
"Why dont you come inside now? You look cold." Steppenwolf asked, 
changing 
the subject.
"Yeah, I am." Kay-Si said.
"Come on." Said Steppenwolf, pulling his wife on to her feet.
They then went inside, and Moonwatcher was glad to see that his mother 
was 
alright.
"Mother! Where have you been?" Moonwatcher asked her.
"Outside." Kay-Si replied.
"Yeah, I can see that. But what were you doing out there?" Moonwatcher 
asked.
"Well, something was bothering me, and I decided to go out for awhile. 
I 
thought it would make me feel better." Replied Kay-Si.
"And that "something" was her pregnancy. It was on her mind again." 
Steppenwolf said.
"Oh, I get it." Moonwatcher said.
"Yeah. She's had a rough night." Said Steppenwolf.
"I have." Kay-Si said.
"We've all had a rough night." Moonwatcher admitted.
"How?" Kay-Si asked.
"Because we were worried about you, thats why!" Moonwatcher told his 
mother.
"Yeah, when I got up at 4:00AM I noticed you were gone." Steppenwolf 
said to 
his wife.
"Sorry about that," Kay-Si said, "it's just that a lot was on my mind."
"Yeah, well, it's not too hard to figure that out." Steppenwolf said.
"Yeah, you haven't been yourself lately, not saying much and all. 
Something 
was definatly on your mind." Moonwatcher said to his mother.
"Yeah, I guess that was obvious." Kay-Si said.
"More than obvious." Moonwatcher said with a smile.
"Yeah, and now that I know my wife is okay, I'm going to go take a 
shower." 
Said Steppenwolf, kissing Kay-Si on the cheek.
Kay-Si sighed and went to go make breakfast, she was VERY hungry. She 
hadn't 
eaten since yesterday, and she knew that a pregnant mother needed more 
food 
than someone normally would.
Right when she was about to make breakfast, she heard a knock at the 
door. 
She sighed and went to go get it.
It was her cousin;Susan-Na!
"Susan! I haven't seen you in awhile! Please come in." Said Kay-Si.
"Thanks, Kay-Si." Said Susan, coming in.
"Susan!" Shouted Moonwatcher, jumping up from the couch.
"Hi Moonwatcher." Susan said.
"I was just making breakfast, you want some?" Kay-Si asked her cousin.
"Thanks, I haven't ate anything today," Susan said. "Hey, is it just 
me, or 
have you gained weight?"
"Yes, I have," Kay-Si told her cousin, "I'm pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Asked Susan, going back in shock.
"Yes, I was just as shocked as you when I found out, or more." Kay-Si 
replied.
"Your pregnant? That's great, Kay-Si, but I'm worried. I mean, you 
could 
easily lose your life, or your baby, you know." Said Susan worriedly.
"She knows that," Moonwatcher said, "and I dont think you should remind 
her. 
It's been on her mind all night."
"Sorry, Kay-Si." Apologized Susan.
"That's okay, come on. Lets go get some breakfast. I'm starving!" Said 
Kay-Si.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Agreed Susan.
So the two cousins had breakfast and Moonwatcher ate with them, even if 
he 
already had breakfast, he wanted it again.
When Steppenwolf was out of the shower and he came in the kitchen, the 
first 
thing he noticed was Susan.
"I didn't know you were here." He said.
"Yeah, she came over while you was in the shower." Kay-Si said.
"How's everything going, Mr.Echidna?" Susan asked Steppenwolf.
"Not so well. I woke up this morning to find out my wife had decided to 
take 
a walk in the middle of the night." Replied Steppenwolf.
"Yeah, she told me about that. That she's pregnant and everything." 
Susan 
said.
"Yeah, and we were looking for her everywhere. It was like she just 
disappeared or something. Until I spotted her under that tree, sound 
asleep." 
Steppenwolf told Susan.
"Yeah, well, I'm sorry about all of that. I didn't know it would worry 
you 
that much." Kay-Si apologized.
"What do you mean, Kay-Si? I love you, and I wouldn't rest until I 
found 
you." Steppenwolf told Kay-Si.
"Well, you found me." Kay-Si said.
"Yes, and that I'm very thankful for." Steppenwolf said to his wife.
"You know what I'm thankful for?" Kay-Si asked.
"What?" Steppenwolf asked her.
"Having a husband like you." Kay-Si replied.
"Aw, Kay-Si, that means so much." Said Steppenwolf, then they gave each 
other 
a kiss.
Susan smiled at them. "It's amazing."
"What is?" Kay-Si asked her.
"Well, Kay-Si, you have had a crush on Steppenwolf for a very long 
time, even 
before you met him. And now that your married to him, and have been for 
a 
very long time, I find that very amazing." Replied Susan.
"You've had a crush on me that long?" Steppenwolf asked his wife.
"Yeah, I have," Kay-Si replied, "and my dream was to marry you."
"Well, it looks like your dream has come true." Said Steppenwolf.
"Yeah, it has." Said Kay-Si happily.
"Well, enough mushy stuff," Said Susan, "Lets all go outside, and you 
can 
fill me in on whats all been going on."
"Okay." Kay-Si agreed.
So they all went outside, including Moonwatcher. 
"So, what is it you want to talk about?" Kay-Si asked her cousin.
"Well, I've noticed that your son, Moonwatcher, over there, hasn't been 
acting like I remember. Is anything wrong, anything you haven't told me 
yet?" 
Susan asked.
"Well, yeah, but I dont think talking about it is such a good idea." 
Kay-Si 
said.
"No, really, mother, I can tell her." Said Moonwatcher.
"Are you sure, honey?" Kay-Si asked her son.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I can tell her." Said Moonwatcher.
"Okay, what is it?" Susan asked Moonwatcher.
"Well, almost a year ago, I lost... I lost my wife." Moonwatcher said 
in a 
shaky, teary voice.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Susan said, trying to make Moonwatcher feel better.
"Thats... okay." Moonwatcher managed to say.
"Speaking of Lyssa-Ra, I had a dream about her." Kay-Si suddenly 
brought up.
"You did?" Asked Moonwatcher, his spirit suddenly brightened and a 
smirk star
ting to grow on his face.
"Yeah, she came to me in a dream, and said I shouldn't worry so much 
about my 
pregnancy. It was weird. It seemed so real." Said Kay-Si.
"Wow. I wish I had a dream about her. I never got to say goodbye. I 
wish... 
so much, for me to see her one more time." Said Moonwatcher.
"Maybe you will." Said Kay-Si.
"What do you mean?" Asked Moonwatcher.
"Well, it is possible, isn't it?" Replied Kay-Si.
"I guess so." Said Moonwatcher.
"Well, I dont really know, but maybe you will get your wish." Said 
Kay-Si.
"I sure hope so." Moonwatcher said.
"Well, I'm very sorry about your loss, Moonwatcher. That must have been 
hard 
on you." Susan said to Moonwatcher.
"You dont know the half of it." Said Kay-Si.
"Yeah, and now Harlan will never know his mother. And because of my 
mother's 
pregnancy, I'm afraid he'll never know his grandmother either." 
Moonwatcher 
said, in tears.
"You mustn't talk like that, Moonwatcher. I'm sure your mother will be 
just 
fine. And even though Lyssa-Ra is dead, you can still share the 
memories of 
her with your son." Susan said calmly to Moonwatcher.
"Yeah, I guess your right." Moonwatcher agreed.
"But I'm not too sure about what you said, Susan. Moonwatcher's right. 
I 
might easily die." Kay-Si admitted.
"Yeah, but you shouldn't worry about that right now, Kay-Si. The time 
hasn't 
come yet for you to give birth. And when it does come, you can be 
prepared f
or it then." Susan said to her cousin.
"Yeah.. I guess." Kay-Si agreed.
That night, when Kay-Si and Steppenwolf were sound asleep, Kay-Si woke 
up 
uncomfortably.
"S-Steppenwolf!" Kay-Si said, shaking her husband awake.
"Kay-Si? What is it?" Steppenwolf asked his wife tiredly.
"I'm ready to... I'm ready to..." Kay-Si began.
Steppenwolf's eyes flew wide open.
"I get the picture, Kay-Si." He told her.
Steppenwolf had to rush his wife to the hospital... in the middle of 
the 
night. She was ready to give birth.
This is it, she thought, I'll soon know if I'll die or live. 
Kay-Si was still very frightened. But the time has come... she had to 
do 
this. And when it was over with, she would find out if she would 
live... or 
die.
Steppenwolf looked at her while she was in the emergency room.
"If I lose you, Kay-Si, I want one last kiss from you." He said, and he 
gently kissed her.
Tears poured from Kay-Si's eyes. She sure hoped, more than anything, 
that she 
would survive... she didn't want to die;not now.
Her eyes swelled with tears as more tears threatened. But she knew 
she'd have 
to get this over with. It was the biggest nightmare of her life... but 
it 
would soon all be over. There was a 50% chance she would  live, and a 
50% 
chance she would die. So even the doctors didn't know weather she'd die 
during this, or miraculously survive.
And she was happy to know that she successfully gave birth. But she was 
still 
very weak, and she still might die. But she hoped she wouldn't. She lay 
there 
on the hospital bed, breathing very hardly, and trying to get some rest 
that 
her body now needed. Steppenwolf stayed by her side the whole time. If 
she 
did die, he wanted to be there to say goodbye to her, as much as he 
hated to.
But Kay-Si kept telling her husband, "No, I wont die. I wont leave you, 
I 
wont leave my family."
Steppenwolf knew that Kay-Si was fighting for her life, but if she did 
die 
there was no way for her to stop it. But Steppenwolf hoped with all his 
heart, that his wife would survive.
Kay-Si then shut her eyes to get her rest. Before she fell asleep, 
these 
questions crossed her mind;would she wake up from this sleep? Or would 
this 
be her last moment in life?
Before she fell asleep, this is what she told Steppenwolf: "If I do 
die, I 
want you to know that I will always love you."
"Me too, Kay-Si." Steppenwolf slowly told her.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her husband still sat by her, he 
didn't 
want to take his eyes off of her, not even for a minute, because he was 
afraid that he would lose her.
But, miraculously, Kay-Si woke up from her slumber. Steppenwolf was 
overjoyed 
that his wife was still alright. 
"I thought I was going to lose you." Steppenwolf told her.
"No, I refuse to die, Steppenwolf. I want to live, and be there for my 
family. I love you all, so very much." Said Kay-Si weakly.
And thats when their baby hatched from it's egg. Kay-Si was delighted 
that 
her baby was alive and alright. Tears poured from her eyes, but this 
time 
they were happy tears, not sad tears. And the baby was a girl. They 
named her 
Lynz-Si.
Lynz-Si then got a firm grip on her mother's finger, and Kay-Si smiled 
at her 
new daughter.
Kay-Si cradled her newborn in her arms with such grace, and her and 
Steppenwolf looked down at their baby with happiness on their faces, 
where 
tears once were.
Kay-Si now thought this; What a happy family they would now be.
