Ch.9-Healing
As I gained consciousness, I felt someone gently stroking my hand. I looked to my right and saw Amber.
"Amber…?"
"Zim," She smiled. ", you're awake."
"What happened?"
"Dib stabbed you in the back with a knife. I called one of my Peacian friends and she brought you to this hospital on this planet."
I began to sat up.
"Careful. You don't want to bust the stitches in your back, do you?"
"Stitches?"
"Of course. They didn't want you to bleed to death." She put her hand on my neck. "is there anything I can get you, my love?"
I shook my head.
"The doctor said that the wound will be healed in a few weeks." She stood up and kissed my forehead. "Get some rest. Rest will heal you faster."

The weeks passed quickly.
I was sound asleep when someone tapped me. I opened my eyes and looked over. A small creature with a pink flower in her hair was standing next to me. She had blue-green eyes.
"Um, excuse me? Are you Zim?"
I nodded.
"I've been sent to get you. Please follow me."
I curiously followed her. I walked down a hallway. There was a sign hanging from the ceiling that read "Maternity Ward". I then realized why the alien had come got me. She stopped in front of a door.
"You may go in." She told me.
I went into the room. "Hello? Amber?"
Amber was sitting in the hospital bed, reading a book. She looked up and smiled. "Zim."
I went over to the bed and sat on the edge. I noticed her stomach was back to normal.
"So, where's the little bundle of joy?" I asked.
"They are over there."
"They?" I said in surprise.
I went over to the cribs. There were three of them; each one had a sleeping smeet. The one in the first crib had 'hooked' antennas. The other two had 'curved' antennas. Two girls and one boy.
"Triplets? You gave birth to triplets?"
"Hope you don't mind." Amber smiled.
"Amber……that's wonderful!"
She came over to me and held onto my arm.
"So, have they opened their eyes?" I asked.
The one in the first crib opened his eye. They were sky blue. "What should we name him?"
"I was thinking Zack." Amber answered. "He looks like a Zack to me."
I nodded in agreement. The one in the third crib opened her eyes. There were as red as mine. I smiled.
"Zimaya." I told Amber.
"Well, one has red eyes, one has blue eyes, I wonder what color eyes she will have?" Amber said to me, gesturing towards the one in the middle crib.
The one in the middle opened her eyes. They were an amazing and beautiful shade of purple.
"Jade." Amber and I said at the same time.
I smiled, looking at my offspring.
"They're destined for greatness." I said, happily. "I can feel it."
I gently picked up the one in the third crib. She looked up at me with her magenta eyes and smiled.
"My little smeet…" I sighed. A sudden calmness came over me. I gently laid her back in the crib. "Amber, you couldn't have given me any more perfect kids."
"We'll have to train them to be INVADERS." Amber smiled.
"Yeah," I sighed.
I wrapped my arm around Amber and she wrapped her arm around me. Everything was perfect in my life again. I now had an even bigger mission ahead of me…raising a family.
