That is why elder women of the family buried the child and the queen mother knew this very well.
Back in the day African women did not go to hospitals to give birth, yes hospitals were there but the elder did not believe in them, they believed that women were made to give birth and could do it without the help of other people or hospitals. They believed that women were more than capable of giving birth in the comfort of their homes being helped by older women that have given birth before.

Dolphins stood around the portal as it opened in the middle of the ocean, their heads towards the opening as if waiting for something to jump out or to jump in. The rain queen floated above the portal with an unconscious Thabiso, his body beaten beyond recognition and he lost a lot of blood. If he were to be taken to the hospital now, he would surely die before he gets there as his life is hanging by a thread. His breathing barely audible and his heart rate lower than that of a vampire. The portal finally opened wide and the water around it started to settle and calm down. The queen floated and lowered herself into the portal as the dolphins started moving around it as if scouting for an enemy. When she was finally in, the portal started to close on the surface while underneath it was moving in an incredibly high speed, taking the queen and a barely alive prince of BaTloung straight to the entrance of the mystical kingdom.
