Born from Nature

Summary: Gaia has always been known as the spirit of the earth, mother of all people animals and things, but never truly a mother which is a birthright given to every woman that is born. What happens when the spirit of the earth decides she wants something for herself in an event that will possibly be called the biggest miracle of the world?

It was a clear blue day on the planet called Earth, everything was alive happy and well, on an Island that lay somewhere in the center of the ocean the voices of young teenagers could be heard as A game of volleyball was in the mix. After having beaten the worlds villains the planeteers decided it was time for a little winding down time. Getting the okay from the spirit of the Earth the five teens cheered and went off to do what teens do, have fun. Gaia stood leaning against the edge of her crystal chamber watching the five have fun as she frowned a bit and brought a hand to her mouth. Having summoned and watch them grow up before her had stirred some feelings in the spirits body, ones she herself she wasn't capable of. The feeling of having children but never being able to bare her own, it made her heart ache, to know she couldn't have children, she had the Earth to protect that should have been enough, but it wasn't.

A few tears slipped from the spirits eyes as she watched her five children play their game. She blinked some seeing the youngest of the planeteers Ma-ti had alerted the others to something their eyes were on her for reasons she didn't even know.

"Hey Gaia are you ok?" Gi had asked worried.

"I'm alright why do you ask?" Gaia replied.

"Your crying, something wrong?" Linka asked with much the same concern as the others.

"Crying?" Gaia repeated placing a hand to her cheek feeling the stains of her tears as she looked at her fingers.

When had she started crying? She hadn't even realized she was doing so. She frowned some and looked at the planeteers and smiled some to calm their worried looks. "Don't worry I'm alright now some of the sand probably just got in my eyes is all. Go on and finish your game planeteers" She said.

The five blinked some and nodded figuring her reason was good enough as they went back to playing their game and Gaia walked back inside to her crystal chamber walking to the side of the chamber she sat down on her little makeshift bed and thought for a while. Seeing those five grow both mentally and physically made her want the thing she had always wanted even more. A child to call her own, though she would have to hide it from the planeteers for a while, at least until she was past her second month...no she wouldn't even tell them this was her child no one would know about it. But it wasn't like she could hide her pregnancy forever they would have to know sometime. She knew they would help her out through her pregnancy they were good children. It was time Gaia decided to do something for herself. She had done so much for the planet over the years, and many centuries it was time she did something for herself, something she had wanted for all eternity, her own child, something made of her flesh and blood a child she could raise on her own.

"My own baby." She sad softly as she closed her eyes and placed her hands against her stomach as she chanted.

"Spirits of the Wind,sea, sun, and stars I call upon you to grant my wish let this body of mine carry a life within, a pure life, that will be mine and mine alone, give me the strength to endure the pains when it is time for my life to be born into this world, please bless my body with a life, the life of a baby that will someday grow into a fine child and fight amongst my planeteers." She said as her body glowed and her eyes widened as a shock went through her body as she cried out in pain, her cries soon carrying to the ears of the five young hero's of the Earth as she fainted falling to the floor unconscious.

"That was Gaia, come on." Kwame said running with the others inside the crystal chamber as they gasped seeing Gaia on the floor.

"Gaia!" Ma-ti called running to her as he knealed down and lifted her up gently.

"Gaia hey come on wake up." Wheeler said.

"What happened to her, she was fine a minute ago." Linka said.

"Let's get her on her bed." Gi said as the planeteers helped lay Gaia on her bed as Gi ran off coming back with a bowl of warm water and cloth as as she placed it on Gaia's forehead.

"What now?" Linka asked near panicking.

"Calm down now everyone we wait and see." Kwame said as the planeteers sat by the bed waiting to see if Gaia would wake up.

A few hours later Gaia moaned lightly as Ma-ti opened his eyes and looked up. "Gaia?" He asked hopeful that she was awake.

"Mm...hey there..." Gaia said weakly as she opened her eyes halfway as they widened and she sat up looking around.

"Easy now its ok, we heard you scream and found you unconscious." Ma-ti said seeing the other planeteers asleep.

"Ma-ti could you...do me a favor?" She asked.

"Sure what is it?" He asked.

"Here, tell me if you sense anything with your powers." Gaia said taking Ma-ti's hand and placing it against her stomach.

"Alright." Ma-ti said a bit confused but did what he was asked. "Heart." He said as his ring glowed.

"What do you sense?" Gaia asked hopeful that her wish had been granted.

"Life...two of them, they aren't that strong yet but...Gaia are you?" Ma-ti asked surprised.

Gaia's eyes widened a bit as she brought a hand to her mouth. It worked, her wish had been granted she had been given two lives which made her even more happier. She looked down at her stomach and moved her hand from her mouth smiling some.

"I am now, but your the only one that can know about this, you can't tell the others Ma-ti...at least, not yet. I want to tell them myself but only once I know that they are safe." Gaia said smiling some as Ma-ti hugged her.

"We'll be here for you Gaia, always." Ma-ti said as Gaia hugged him back." I know Ma-ti I know." She said crying a bit.
