Jane's Special Gift 2
A sibling on the way
Chapter 1
A loud 'bang' sounded at the end of the hallway and I woke up. It took me a few moments to get use of the darkness and I remembered where I was. I was in my bunker, because of a possible threat in security.
I jumped out of my bed and unfolded my wings. Yes, I have wings. My name is Jane, Jane Volt. Daughter of the two U.Z.Z. agents Victor and Anita Volt. When I was just born, the Whitecoats took me away from my parents and kept me at the Itex for five years. I managed to escape and since then, I'm living with my parents.
And about my wings, the Whitecoats did some experiments with me and one of them was replacing two percent of my DNA with birds-DNA. So, that's my whole history.
I opened my bunker and I looked into the hallway. I figured that at least the Floaty Heads would attack us, but I didn't see a thing. No damage, no red warning lights, nothing. I shook my head, maybe I imagined it.
"Please, Anita!" suddenly sounded and I turned around. It was my father and he rushed past my bunker. "What did I do wrong?"
"Just leave me alone, Victor!" said my mother and I shook my head. No threat in security, but a threat in the peace of the Volt household. I forgot to mention it. Mom is pregnant. Yeah, I know, it sounds weird and it is kinda weird. I mean, I'm fifteen and my mother is pregnant. But I got used to it. At this moment, she's around twenty weeks pregnant and since a few weeks ago, she has this weird mood swings. Nothing to be really worried about, but it could be kinda hard to live with sometimes.
"You know, you should tell your parents that they aren't at home anymore." sounded right next from me and I looked to my best, blue-haired friend.
"You want me to tell my mother that she isn't home, while she is in a bad mood. There is no way that I would be near my mother, Stella." I said. Stella is the daughter of Ray and Kowalski. A few years older than me and she is really sweet. She has her father's blue hair and blue eyes. Stella is one of the most hyperactive girls I've ever known. And here comes the best thing: She has wings as well. Blue wings to be precisely. She got them during a fight with the Whitecoats and now she can fly as well.
"Well, you could at least ask your Mom what's going on or ask if she's alright." For a hyperactive friend, she has some good ideas every now and then.
"Alright, I'll go and see if she needs anything." I said and I walked towards her bunker. "Mom, do you need something?" I asked her as I knocked onto her door. I just hoped she was back to her normal mood.
"No, thank you. I'm alright." sounded from the other side of the door and I smiled. That's my mother. She never needed anything from anyone else.
"Could you please open the door, Mom?"
A sigh sounded from the other side, but she did open the door for me. "Come on in, honey." she said and she let me into the bunker. I bet that Mom and Dad were both glad that they still slept apart at U.Z.Z., especially now she got some moods wings. "So, what do you want to know?" Mom sat down on her bed. She was wearing her purple outfit and you could see that she was pregnant.
"Are you alright?" I asked her as I sat down next to her. Of course I knew that nothing was right, but I just wanted to know if I could help her.
Mom smiled. "Yes, I'm alright." she said and she gave me a hug. "Your father and I had a small fight, nothing more."
"About what?" Mom didn't answer my question, so I figured it had to be a big thing. "Please, Mom. Maybe I could…"
"No, Jane, you can't help. This is really something between your father and me." said Mom and I just nodded. I figured that I would get some more answers out of Dad, considering that I am his angel. "I just think I should stop working now."
I smiled. You know what the hard thing is when you're fifteen and your mother is pregnant? They don't always listen to you when you have a wonderful idea. After I got used to the idea that my mother was pregnant, I told her that it might be better that she would stop working. But she didn't want to stop completely. Now she works behind a desk until she can go on maternity leave. "Why do you think that?" I asked her, wondering why she would stop now.
"Your father and I see each other too much now, it's better for both of us to see each other less." Mom started to yawn and I stood up. "I think…"
"I'll let you sleep, good night Mom." I said and I gave her a hug. I walked to the door and I closed it. 'Good night, Jane' was the last thing I heard from Mom. I decided to go and look for my father. It didn't take me too long to find him. He wasn't in his bunker, but I did find him in the Training Room. I think he was trying to practice some of the karate kicks he practiced most of the time when he and Mom got into a fight. "Dad?" I said and Dad stopped practicing. "Are you alright?"
Dad smiled and he walked towards me. "Yes, I'm fine." he said. "You should be sleeping by now, otherwise you won't be able to work tomorrow."
"I know, Dad." I said and I looked at him. "But I just couldn't sleep because you and Mom were arguing. About what were you two fighting about?"
I'm not saying that I love Dad more than my mother, but I could get the most answers and gifts out of him. I think it's a daughter thing. Dad sighed. "Your mother and I see each other just too much. And she can't copy it while she has her mood swings. So we decided that she should stop working for some time. Only your mother wouldn't agree with stopping completely with working."
I started to laugh. "Come on, Dad. You know that Mom won't be able to sit still the whole day." I gave him a hug and I smiled. "Good night, Dad."
Dad smiled. "Good night, angel." he said and he walked with me out of the Training Room. Yep, this was just another day in the Volt family.
