His voice slipped through her mind, tugging her along and Cordelia follows the light of him, the beacon of his love. Her muscles strained as she pushed again, feeling the final moment where everything came together and Noah was there the whole time. He caught their first child, wrapping the baby in a blanket she'd made for this very moment as their child showed them just how strong her lungs were, letting out a cry that shook the rafters of their home.
Her own tears came then, happy sobs caught in her chest as he brought their new little girl up to her and with a trembling hand, Cordelia reached for her. Brushing back a damp curl from her forehead, "She's perfect.." The One Shot Shrike whispered, only having a moment of reprieve before the urge to push comes again and she has to shift, chasing that primal need once more.
It's faster than the first. Much faster. The pain a blur in comparison to the overwhelming love coming her husband and herself. Soon a second cry joins the first, a boy this time, just as strong as his sister and Cordelia falls back to her side. Utterly spent and exhausted, panting from exertion, tears still clinging to her lashes as she finally looks down at her babies. Their babies. "Their beautiful..." Cordelia glanced over at Noah, a tired smile curling on her lips as she held them both to her chest, letting them lay in the crook of her arms.

Cordelia
My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War
