Here's the first chapter. This just talks about what happened after the incident with the Kur Stone. Arogost is raging mad too. Well please enjoy the chapter. You can leave a comment if you want to.
Chapter 1 Our Perfect Angel
There are a lot of secrets in this world that we cannot explain, even the mysteries of ancient time's leaves us puzzled. There are many things that can't be explained (like 99 cent stores.) Drew, Doc, and many other scientists have uncovered the Kur stone. The stone is considered to be dangerous because of its ultimate power. As it was being researched, Arogost came and took it away. When Doc and Drew realized that it was all a set up by him, they got together with other scientist and planned to retrieve the Kur Stone.
The planned worked according to plan, but Arogost escaped.
"You haven't heard the last of me! Enjoy your little celebration while you can. I WILL RETURN!" he yelled as he fled in the airship.
Doc and the others knew that he would do anything to get his hands on the Kur stone, so it was divided up into three pieces among them. From there on, they swore on their lives to keep it a secret and not tell anybody about it, not even their own families. Doc and Drew hid theirs safely as well as the others. As time went by, things have cooled down and there was no sign of Arogost. As the Saturdays couple thought things were getting better, something wonderful was going to happen. They were going to be blessed with a child (there goes Doc's wallet. Good luck with that fella.)
By the end of the year, on a cold day, Zak was born. Doc and Drew were very happy and never thought they would be parents. Drew took her baby into her arms and kissed him on his forehead. Zak was the cutest baby you'd ever seen. He had black hair with two tiny white strands. He was wrapped in his blue baby blanket.
"I just still can't believe it. Zak's here with us," said Doc
"I know. He's our perfect angel," said Drew
"He sure is."
Zak yawned and drifted off to sleep. Doc took him into his arms and sat down in a chair next to Drew. Zak continued to sleep peacefully. Drew watched Doc's smile disappear and he let out a sigh.
"What's the matter?" she asked
"We have a problem," said Doc
"What do you mean problem?"
"How are we going to raise Zak with the way our lives are?"
"Well, I was aware that this was not going to be easy. He should just be exposed to the things that we research."
"But what about the Kur stone? How will we explain that to him?"
"That's something that has to stay secret."
"I never expected it to come to this."
"Are you saying you are unhappy with your son?"
"No, of course not. I am thrilled that he came into our lives, it's just that he has to grow up differently from the other children in this world."
"Who says that he's going to be different? He can still have the life of any child. Zak just might find his life more exciting."
"Do you think so?"
"I know so. A mother always knows."
Zak started to fuss and Drew took him into her arms again. The fussing stopped and he continued to sleep. Doc got up and stretched.
"We better get some sleep. Some friends are coming over tomorrow," he said
"What? You didn't tell me this," said Drew
"They're coming over to see the baby and don't worry, I'll have everything ready."
"Well, what should I do tomorrow?"
"Nothing. You're just going to rest and be with Zak."
"Alright."
Doc turned off the light and Drew settled down for the night. She placed Zak next to her and she kissed him goodnight. Eventually, she drifted off to sleep. Meanwhile, Arogost was pacing the floor. He had maps opened and pinned to the wall. He had marks on some parts of the map. One of his henchmen entered the room.
"This better be good news. You know I hate being disturbed!" snarled Arogost
"Well um, the Saturdays just had a new baby," he said
"Really?…………well I am shocked."
"About what sir?"
"That the Saturdays got busy at a time like this and could you tell me something?"
"What sir?"
"HOW IS THAT HORRIBLE NEWS IMPORTANT?!?!"
"I…….I …I'm sorry sir. I thought you wanted to know."
"Oh for the love of…….JUST GET OUT OF HERE AND DON'T COME BACK UNLESS IT'S ABOUT THAT KUR STONE!"
The henchmen fled as Arogost growled. He couldn't stop thinking of that horrible day when he had the Kur Stone taken away from him. Then an idea popped into his head. He started rubbing his hands together.
"Oh, I have the perfect scheme, but it's going to take awhile. I know this plan will work. I'll be getting that Kur Stone one way or another," said Arogost
The next day, Doc got the house organized for the company. Drew got ready herself and wrapped Zak in a different blanket. It was a tango green color. Drew came into the room and sat in one of the comfortable chairs holding Zak. Doc was surprised to see Drew up and about.
"Hey, you're supposed to be resting," he said
"I'll be alright. Besides it might be easier if I wasn't in bed while they're here," Drew replied
Eventually, Doc and Drew's friends were arriving. They were greeted and Drew's friends started fussing over Zak.5
"Oh, he's so cute!" one of them said
"He sure is. Hi pumpkin," said another
Zak was passed around and held by everyone. He didn't seem to mind. He had his eyes closed most of the time. When he opened his eyes, he just looked around and closed them again. Zak cooed and went to sleep again. Around the afternoon, Doc brought out lunch. It was hotdogs, burgers, sodas, water, chips, etc. Everyone ate and the food was cleared from the tray. Then everyone sat back and just talked about what plans they have for next year.
Doc and Drew didn't talk about any of their plans because it was about the secret of the Kur and everyone just guessed that they would be busy with Zak. Of course they were going to be busy with him, but they also have to make sure that Arogost doesn't try anything to get the Kur stone pieces. It was around 8:00 at night and everyone started to leave.
Drew's friends said goodbye to her and Zak. They fussed over him as they left. When everyone was gone, Doc started to clean up the meal mess.
"Drew, go on to bed. I'll take care of the mess," said Doc
"Okay, when will you come to bed?" she asked
"After I'm done cleaning. It won't take long."
Doc kissed Drew goodnight and he kissed Zak on the forehead.
"Zak's a good baby. I haven't heard his loud cry since he was born," said Doc
"Well, he does fuss. He's probably saving his voice to wake us up in the middle of the night," said Drew
"For a newborn, he's pretty smart."
"Well I'll see you in bed soon."
Drew went into the bedroom and placed Zak in his crib. She made sure that his crib was close by. Drew climbed into bed and made herself comfortable. She was asleep within a few minutes. Doc came in the room around 10:35. He was wiped out. Quietly, he climbed into bed without disturbing Drew and went to sleep. A few days have passed and there were still no mission calls to Doc or Drew, but they had their hands full with little Zak. Doc and Drew felt energy draining out of their bodies every morning. It felt like they could never replace that energy ever again. Drew was feeding Zak in another room while Doc was preparing lunch. Suddenly, Doc got an emergency call. He went into the lab and answered. It was one of his friends. He didn't look too good either.
"Hey what happened?" asked Doc
"My hometown is under attack by Arogost's henchmen. We need you guys," he replied
"Oh no. Look I'm sorry, but we can't"
"How come?"
"We have a newborn now. It's impossible to get out there."
"Listen, you and Drew are my only hope in helping me defeat these guys."
"But my son………"
"Find a babysitter and try to get down here as fast as you can."
The screen went pitch black. Doc didn't know what to do. He always had a bad feeling that this was going to happen. Doc went into the kitchen and ran into Drew.
"What happened to you? I've been looking all over for you," said Drew
"Sorry, I was in the lab. One of my friends is being attacked by Arogost's henchmen," replied Doc
"Oh no. Well we can't leave."
"Drew, he told me that we're the only ones who can help him. No one else will."
"What about Zak?"
"We'll call for a babysitter."
Drew nodded and quickly went into the bedroom to change into decent clothes while Doc called for a babysitter. It took awhile, but they finally got someone to come over. It was one of Drew's friend's kids. Her name was Amelia, she was in her late teen years. She placed her backpack on the couch and was excited to see the baby.
"My mom said that he was so adorable," she said
"He is and thanks for coming on such short notice," said Doc
Drew brought Zak out and placed him in Amelia's arms. She smiled and went to sit on the couch. While Doc went to go set up the airship, Drew gave Amelia instructions for Zak.
Afterwards, she boarded the airship and they took off in the air. Doc contacted his friend and gave him the message that they were on their way to his hometown to stop Arogost's henchmen. Doc looked at Drew and she had the saddest look on her face. She just twirled her hair with her finger.
"Hey, what's the matter?" asked Doc
"I've never been away from Zak before," she replied
"Don't worry, he'll be back in your arms before you know it."
Drew didn't say anything else. She missed her baby already. It felt like that she was torn apart from something. Doc hoped that this mission ends quickly.
