Tales of Legendia – A new generation
Ever since Grune's departure, the gang had never felt so lonely. Everyone tried to smile since they promised that to Grune, but they can't help but cry in the inside of their hearts. Weeks went by and the girls were still missing Grune, but the boys were feeling frisky at the moment. Each of them (except for Will since he has to take care of Harriet), had a crush on the other three girls.
Jay can be seen blushing everytime Shirley says hello to him. Senel already asked Chloe out without trying to hurt her feelings (even though Chloe was crazy for him). Lastly, Moses was obviously hitting on Norma, who in turn played along. Ah yes, Spring was here and things were stirring up.
One day, all three men decided that one day they will propose to the girl they loved. On July the 1st, 3 newly wedded couples exited the church yard with confetti and rice thrown to them.
Jay and Shirley bought a cottage next to Senel's and got cozy all over each other while Senel and Chloe were doing the same. Moses and Norma were doing their thing in the Bandit's camp, with C'saba guarding the door.
Few months later..
Now all three men were in the hospital. It's not because they were injured, but because they were waiting. Where exactly? Why, in the father's waiting room of course. Will came along to give them advice on how to handle children while Harriet was playing around.
The wait was tense and all of them (excluding the sheriff and his daughter) all ended up staying awake for the whole night.
The next morning, they were awaken by a doctor. "Which one of you is Jay Fennes?" he asked.
Jay immediately stood up while the other two listened carefully.
The doctor pushed his eyeglasses up the bridge of his nose then looked at his notes. A smile crept up on his face. "Congratulations, Mr. Fennes," he said. "You are now a father of a son."
Jay's eyes got bigger and bigger and a silence passed them. After not being able to hold it all in, Jay, a new father, whooped for joy.
"I have a son!!" he cried over and over and over again while the doctor led him to Shirley's room so he could visit her.
A few hourse went by and the same joyful event happened to Senel, who also had a son. Senel fainted, due to being too happy.
While Senel was dragged away to the washroom, Moses was worried. Will he have a son too? How about a daughter? Come to think of it, he never came up for a name! What if Norma had a problem in giving birth? What if--!?
Moses decided to go to the washroom as well and cool himself off.
Few days later..
Moses was fretting already. He paced the waiting room for so long, he wondered if his footprints were showing up. This was not going well, his friends already had their wives back at home and their babes in their arms. What could he do?
And the name.. He only thought of a girl's name, but no boy. Ah well, he thought. Better wish for a girl then.
Suddenly , he got a tap for the back and there was a doctor with some notes.
"Are you Mr. Sandor?" the doctor asked.
Moses couldn't speak because he was so nervous of Norma's health and just nodded.
The doctor flipped through the notes then paused as he saw Mrs. Sandor's, or Norma's, profile.
"Congratulations, Mr. Sandor," the doctor said. "You are now a father of a baby girl."
Now it was Moses' turn to feel that joyous tingle. It was warm in the tummy and cool in his spine. He couldn't possibly hold it all in!
"But," the doctor suddenly added.
But?! Moses suddenly asked in his mind. What but?!
"There was.. also some bad news," the doctor quietly said.
"Bad news?" shuddered Moses, worrying even more about Norma AND the baby. "Spill, doc!"
The doctor sighed. "You were supposed to have twins.." the doctor said.
Silence.
"And?" Moses said, not really wanting such an uneasy pause.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sandor." Said the doctor. "The first female twin.. She didn't made it. She was suffering major breathing problems and we couldn't do anything."
Moses' heart broke. The thought of twins was double the joy, but.. The first born.. dead.. It was something a family guy like Moses, couldn't possibly bear.
The doctor patted Moses' shoulder. "Be thankful to Nerifes," he whispered. "At least, you have a child."
And with that, the doctor left a crying Moses. Mixed emotions of joy and grief overflooded the bandit.
End of Prolouge.
