"That being is suppose to be in ice. Solstice trapped it there. I melt it trapped while I trained amongst the realms, and speaking of Vexis. I wanted to ask, where is his family?" Xander responded.
"My cousins are okay. Although he lost his wife. I think."
Xander replied, "Really? I guess his depression started from there then. Who are his kids?"
"Xander they are not children. They are not toddlers or kids. They are adults like me and you mate. He's got two children I barely see."
"What about your siblings even?where are they?"
Zephyr turned to him curious of his curiosity. "Xander did you get possessed by a monitoring spirit? What's up with all these questions?"
Xander said, "Zephyr I'm just trying to keep up with you. It's been a while. I feel like I lost myself when I took off from everyone. I need to catch up."
Zephyr watched him as he drove and kept his mouth shut. Xander said, "I need to see Astrid. I feel like there's a lot I need to catch up on, especially with the child in her womb."
"Xander be a happy soon to be uncle and celebrate with them. That's it. That's all you need to be."
Xander smiled, he answered back, "Zephyr I'm happy but the only problem is Aster got possessed by the water beast and that could mean only two things."
"What and what?"
They reached the laboratory. He stopped the car and said, "It's either the child is possessed as well or that child may have some hidden powers coming out as soon as he's born."
Zephyr's facial expression turned serious. He knew the consequences could be bad or good.
It's the seventh month of Astrid's pregnancy, she's at the house eating a bowl of salad and juice. Her eyes are fixed on Galen and Mara having a stable conversation, yet mowing the lawn together.
Luna watched over the kids and stayed calm till she noticed Astrid having a facial expression of pain and disturbance.
She dropped Luke Orion on the ground, leaving the little baby to play on his own. She moved closer to her, "Astrid? Are you alright? Is everything okay? What's wrong?"
Astrid felt a mild pain move around her stomach, she held her tummy. "Luna, I don't know. I think it's just the usual baby growing in my womb. It just started."
Luna walked closer to her and said, "Do you feel like checking? Let's see what's wrong? Come inside."
Astrid agreed, "Yeah I think so. Let's do that." She dropped the plate on the side table and got up with the assistance of Luna's hands.
Astrid walked into the house, she sat on the chair and raised her gown up. Luna stared at her stomach surprised to see what she just saw there.
Astrid stared at it too. "Luna? What is that? Why is that light coming from it? The blue light. What's that? Call Mara and Galen quick."
Luna didn't hear her, rather she got hypnotized by the blue light glowing in and out. Her eyes gazed on the baby bump till Astrid hit her arm yelling, "Luna! Call Galen! Quick! The pain is getting worse!"
Xander fell to his knees at the lab. He could feel the same pain she felt but in a mild way. Mara heard her yell, Galen turned the equipment off and ran into the house.
They rushed into the house, "Astrid? Are you okay? What is that glowing from your stomach. Don't tell me you out on a face mask on your bump." Mara asked.
Galen said, "Luna get her things and meet us at the car. We are driving off to the lab now. Mara help her get to the car right now."
They drove to the lab, the moment they reached the lab. The pain got worse.
Doctor Aurora saw them rushing into the lab, they reached the labour room. She immediately placed her on the bed, she attached the equipment to her body.
Aurora raised her dress up and noticed the glow. She knew it wasn't ordinary at all, "Where is Aster? I'm gonna need him here right now. Where is he? Someone call him."
They can see the baby moving it's hands and legs like it's looking for a larger space to walk on. It wants to come out but this meant a premature birth.
Astrid said, "Aurora help, this is so painful. Get it out of me. It's too big for my womb to contain it now, help."
Aurora responded, "Okay just push the moment you feel the rush. Okay? Let's do this together. One, two, three, push!"
Astrid pushed, Galen stood afar off making a call to Aster to get as close as he could to the lab.
Astrid pushed again, this time the baby head got closer to her vagina. She took in a strong amount of oxygen and waited for the feeling of contraction.
She pushed again, this time the baby head got out. She exhaled with her mouth knowing it would be easier now.
Aurora said, "Astrid! The head is out! One more time for the body! Come on! One more time!"
Astrid inhaled and exhaled three times, she felt the contraction once again. She pushed and finally the shoulders were out, Aurora gently pulled the baby out of her body.
Astrid felt a sense of relief, she relaxed her body on the bed. Aurora said, "It's a boy, a boy! How cute."
She noticed Astrid was quiet. Aster just walked in. He saw her still on the bed, she was unconscious. He ran towards her, he held her in his arms. "Astrid! Wake up! Wake up!"
Xander ran into the room, he saw the boy. He walked over to look at her, she looked pale like her life force went into the child.
He stretched his hand to her, he held her head. He closed his eyes and released energy from his life into hers, that would give a mix of Nova and Orion. The gateway.
