So I did. I recalled the pain we had suffered. The loss of a child. The silent nights. The bitter words of the elders. I recalled the strength it had taken to have life within me.

Finn couldn't believe his ears. He just stared at her and opened his mouth but nothing came out. Finn was truely speachless. Lili giggled when she realized how shocked he was. "You're joking, right?" he asked. She shook her head to indicate that she wasn't joking. "I am dead serious. Thoughts?" she asked as she smiled at him and his current state of bewilderment.
