Screams came from within the burh in Loidis, Brida was labouring long and hard to bring her and Uhtred's child into the world, she had been labour since the sun had risen, and she hadn't had any changes. Sigrid, wife to Ragnar the Fearless, was helping her deliver her child, as she felt the head, as she looked at Brida, "You need to push. It's time." Sigird spoke, as Brida gripped Thyra, Ragnar's daughters', hand in her own as she pushed.

Sigrid smiled, as she pulled out the baby, which had a head of fiery red hair, "You have a daughter." She said, as she wrapped the child in a fur blanket, placing her in Brida's arms, as she held her daughter, "My little Valkyrie." Brida whispered, before Uhtred was heard running, as he yelled for Brida, before Sigrid and Thyra both shushed him.

"You have a daughter, Uhtred." Thyra spoke, as she and Sigrid left, leaving the new parents to themselves, as Brida carefully allowed Uhtred to hold their daughter, "Liv Uhtredsdottir, the gods have blessed us." He spoke as he placed a gentle kiss to his daughters head.
