Chapter 9

Flashback Part 6

When the ambulance made it to the hospital, the doctors and nurses carried

Hannah in a wheel chair and rushed to the room. She was still gasping for air and her abdomen was

hurting even worse.

Corey was following them. "Hannah," he said, "don't worry. You're going

to be okay. Just hang on."

Meanwhile, Venom was watching Hannah give birth from the roof. He

prayed that she would live.

He then held out his hand and said, "Diamond of Darkness, give Hannah the

strength she needs to live while she's in labor." He then released his dark powers to help Hannah.

About an hour later, Corey was sitting next to Hannah, who was resting

peacefully in her cot.

He kissed her on the forehead and said, "You did a great job, Hannah. I'm

proud of you. You're a mother now."

"I know," Hannah whispered with her eyes closed. She then opened them

and looked at Corey. They smiled at each other.

Then, the doctor came in. "Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Hallivan, is it?"

"Yes," said Hannah.

"What are the results?" asked Corey.

"Well," the doctor said, looking at his clipboard, "there's nothing really

much to say except, congratulations. Mrs. Hallivan, you just gave birth to two healthy baby girls." Then,

two nurses came in. They each had a bundle in their arms. In those bundles, were two little crying cats

with green and purple fur.

Hannah gasped in surprise. "Oh my God." She took one bundle and Corey

took the other. "They're so cute!"

"They sure are," agreed Corey. The doctor and nurses then left the room.

Hannah looked over to her baby. She realized that a black diamond was on

her chest. She looked out the window and thought she saw Venom.

Corey noticed her looking worried. "Are you alright, dear?"

Hannah turned back to her husband and said, "Yes. I'm fine."

A few hours later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Hannah called out softly.

The door opened and Bone stepped inside. "Hey. I heard the news."

"Hi, Bone," said Corey. "Come over here."

Bone walked over to where Hannah was sitting. "How are you feeling?"

"Just fine, thanks," Hannah replied.

Bone looked over to the two newborn cats that Corey and Hannah were

holding. "So, two baby girls, huh?"

"Yep."

"What are their names?"

Hannah showed Bone her bundle. "This one's Salley and the one Corey's

holding is Halley." Bone looked over to the baby that Corey was holding. And then back to Hannah's.

Her fur was purple and her eyes were light blue.

Hannah smiled. "Would you like to hold her?"

"Oh, no," said Bone. "I couldn't. I've never held a baby before in my life."

"Here, it's not that hard. Sit down." Bone sat down on the wooden chair.

Then, Hannah handed Salley over to him. "Just gently hold her in your arms,

but make sure you hold her under her head." Bone held onto Salley and put one hand under her head.

He smiled at her. "Hey, Salley," he whispered. He removed part of her

blanket and noticed the black diamond on her chest.

He sighed. "She's the one. Venom's soon-to-be child." He faced Hannah

and Corey. "Remember, don't give her to him until she's fifteen and also, treasure each moment with her

and Halley."

"We won't forget, Bone," said Hannah. "We won't."
