Eirene Colony
Four year old Eric sat in the waiting room of the hospital wing with a nice lady nurse since his parents were in the delivery room; his mother was in labor with his sister. The Clarkes lived on this peaceful and prosperous planet of Eirene with a population of only ten million they moved here a year ago from the Gaia Station where he was born. He understood that his mother was pregnant and that he soon wouldn't be an only child, he sometimes would touch his mother's stomach and feel his sister kick at his hand it was very exciting he thought.
The little Clarke looked up and saw his father in blue scrubs, he looked very happy.
''Daddy!'' Eric squealed happily.
''Am I a big brother?'' Eric asked excitedly.
Isaac nodded tiredly since his wife had been in labor since seven this the morning and here they were twelve hours.
''Yeah buddy, come on, mom wants to see you,'' Isaac said taking his son by the daughter and giving the nurse a grateful smile for looking after the little guy.
Eric walked with his father to the room where he saw his mother holding a tiny baby. His blue eyes widened.
Ellie chuckled somewhat tired but content.
''Don't stand there, sweetheart, come and meet your baby sister,'' she said.
Isaac lifted the child up to the bed where he got a closer look at the sleeping newborn she had a pink face and a wisp of dark brown hair similar to his mother but had his father's nose. She was very pretty.
''She's so beautiful!'' he said happily.
''Her name is Ilene Victoria Clarke,'' Isaac said proudly.
''Ilene,'' Eric said the name rolling in his tongue it sounded perfect.
