CHAPTER 1

TEMPEST'S BIRTH

That morning on the Babylon Airship, Jet and Storm gathered around Wave with a white blanket in her hands and never took their eyes off of it.

"He's so perfect. Just like me", Storm said.

"Get over yourself. If you were perfect, we'd all be dead." Jet looked into the white blanket and had his eyes on a blue hawk that looked exactly like him.

The baby hawk then made a wide smile towards his father and laughed.

Jet smirked, "That's my son."

Wave looked up at the green hawk, "So, what are we going to name our new Babylon Rogues member?"

It didn't take Jet long enough to decide the name for him, "I know! I'll name him-"

"Kick ass!" Storm shouted. "It's perfect."

Jet and Wave made huge sweat drops appear on the side of their heads, "We are not naming him kick ass!"

"B-but it's cool." He looked over to the baby hawk still laughing, "See? He likes it."

Wave looked over to Jet trying to ignore Storm's opinion of a name, "Well Jet honey, what do you think?"

Jet crossed his arms, "I think he should be known as a violent gust of wind us Babylon Rogues make in our tracks after we steal something very valuable."

Wave began to think about what he meant, "Oh you mean turbulence or a tempest?"

"Heh, I was thinking Tempest."

Wave smiled down at the baby in her arms, "Tempest. You like that name?"

The baby laughed with happiness once again.

"All right it's Tempest." Wave looked over to Storm, "Hey Storm, could you bring me a fresh diaper? I think he might needs changing."

Storm looked at her confused, "Diaper? What diaper?"

Jet hit his head with the palm of his head and looked back at Storm, "You know, the diapers I told you to get months ago before Wave even gave birth to him."

"Oh you said diapers, I thought you said bring back a box of pizza."

Jet took his hand and hit his forehead with it multiple times with it until he finally stopped, "Well I'll make a note to myself not to give you a task when you're hungry. Come on Wave, looks like we gotta do the shopping ourselves", he walked into the garage with Wave and Storm following him. Jet eyed his and Wave's Extreme Gear leaning against the wall and walked towards it.

"Wha-what am I suppose to do with you two gone...again? I'll get bored out of my mind", Storm said complaining.

Wave laughed a bit and placed Tempest in his hands, "Oh you won't get bored, not this time. You have Tempest with you."

Storm looked down at the smiling baby and back at Wave, "Y-y-you mean I gotta...babysit?"

She nodded her head, "That's right and if anything happens to my baby, I'll kill you! That's not a threat it's a promise so be afraid. Very afraid."

Storm acted like he wasn't afraid, "Just get the god damn diapers and come back fast. I don't know what to do with kids."

Jet walked over to Wave and handed her her Extreme Gear, "Just rock him back and forth in your arms and wait until he falls asleep then you won't have nothing to worry about."

"Just do us this one favor and look after him", Wave walked over to the baby and took him out of Storm's arms. She kissed him on his forehead and held him close to her, "Daddy and I will be back soon." She gave him back to Storm and began to walk out the garage door with Jet. She turned back one last time and waved at him, "We love you."

Jet grabbed her shoulder, "Wave, he'll be fine now lets go." He pushed her out the door leaving Storm behind and Tempest in his arms.

Storm looked down at the blue hawk, "I don't care what they're calling you. In my eyes, you're more of a kick ass than a Tempest."

The baby smiled and cuddled on Storm's fuzzy chest slowly falling asleep.

He smiled and gazed at the little hawk sleeping against his chest, "You can call me Uncle Storm for now on."
