“What shall we name her?” he asked, glancing back at his wife. The woman laid back and closed her eyes, thinking hard. She did so for so long that the man thought she had fallen asleep. As he began to pull up the hospital covers for her, she opened her eyes and said “Nova. For the cycle of destruction and creation within her.” The woman smiled with satisfaction as she looked at her husband and the sleeping baby. “Beautiful. I couldn 't have thought of that.
