Wolf: Sorry for the delay on the story. With this being a side story to my main ones, I don't get to typing much of it. Plus I have some writers block on what to write. I finally got it done and I hope you like.
A Bakugan Love Story: A Family
Mira and Jade, plus the bakugan, still sat in the waiting room to wait to hear the news on Alexandria. The two were starting to get worried, but soon Keith walked out with a smile on his face. The two stood up from their chairs and walked up to him.
"How is she?" Jade asked.
"Are they okay?" Mira asked.
"Calm down, they're fine. Alex is okay and the baby is healthy as can be." Keith told them.
The all let out a sigh of relief.
"Can we see them?" Jade wondered.
"Well Alex is asleep right now, but the baby is in the nursery." Keith said.
"Is it a boy like the doctor said?" Mira wondered.
"It is." Keith answered.
"What did you name him?" Jade wondered.
"Spencer. Spencer Christopher." Keith answered her.
"Aw. What a lovely name." Jade said.
Keith smiled, "What to go see him?" Keith asked them.
Both nodded.
Keith lead the way to the nursery so that they could see his son. They walked up to the nursery window and looked around, then Keith spotted him in the the second row at the left.
"There he is." Keith said, pointing him out to them.
They got up closer to the glass and looked closer to where Keith was pointing.
"Aw, Keith he's so cute." Jade said.
"Good thing he doesn't have your pink hair." Mira said softly.
Helios chuckled and Keith gently slapped Mira on the arm. Mira only giggled.
"You think you're funny." Keith huffed.
Jade giggled at them and looked back at her grandson.
"He is adorable Keith. I'm happy for you." Jade told him.
"Thank you Jade." Keith thanked.
Jade nodded, "Can we see Alexandria?" Jade asked.
"Please?" Pyro asked.
"Yea, but she'll be asleep." Keith said.
"That's fine. We just want to see her." Mira said.
Keith nodded and lead the two to Alexandria's room.
Keith slowly walked into the room and saw Alexandria asleep on the bed still. Keith waved for the five to walk in. When they did they saw Alexandria still asleep and looked at her kindly. The bakugan floated over and sat on the stand next to the bed, but Pyro laid in the bed next to Alexandria's head.
"She's been through rough times right now. Lets leave her to rest." Jade said.
"Sounds like a good idea. I'll go head home and tell Gus what's happened." Mira said.
"Okay. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then Mira?" Keith guessed.
"Of course. By then I'm sure Alexandria will be awake." Mira smiled.
Keith nodded and gave his sister a hug. Mira waved goodbye, opened a portal and left for Vestal.
"What about you Jade, you going to go home?" Keith asked.
"I may stay here for a little bit longer." Jade answered.
Keith nodded. He went to one side of Alexandria and held her hand and moved the hair out of her sleeping face.
"You know Keith, Alexandria is lucky to have someone like you." Jade told Keith.
"I'm glad to hear that coming from you ma'am" Keith thanked.
Jade smiled, "I'm glad to have you as my son-in-law." Jade said.
"And I'm glad to call you my mother-in-law." Keith admitted.
"I feel like a gifted woman right now. Having a great daughter, son-in-law, and now a grandson. I'm so glad."
"I feel the same way. I'm a father now, so I'm excited at the moment."
Jade nodded. She looked up at the clock.
"We'll I should get going. Dad will be wanting me home and will want to know how everything is." Jade said, getting up from the chair.
"Okay. Tell him I said hi as well." Keith said.
"I will." Jade said.
Jade put a hand on Keith's shoulder and patted it.
Keith nodded.
Jade left the room.
Keith turned back to Alexandria.
"Is this what happens to humans after they have their offspring?" Pyro asked.
"Yes. The female gets very tired afterward. So its normal for them to be sleeping." Keith answered.
Pyro nodded, "I'm going to sleep for a little bit." Pyro said.
"Go right ahead." Keith said.
Pyro got comfy in the pillow by Alexandria's head and soon was asleep.
Helios and Apollo floated over to Keith.
"You going to go home, Keith?" Apollo asked.
"No. I'm going to stay here for the night." Keith answered.
"You sure?" Helios wondered.
"Yes. Alexandria is going to need help for a little bit." Keith said.
Helios nodded. He and Apollo flew over to Pyro and laid next to her. Keith got comfy in the chair he was in. He had a hard day today so he went to sleep right away.
-Next Morning-
Alexandria opened her eyes in the morning and looked around to room. She spotted Keith in the chair next to the bed fast asleep. She yawned and stretched a little. Pyro woke up when Alexandria was stretching.
"Alex, you're awake." Pyro said.
"Pyro? I glad to see you." Alexandria said, holding Pyro in her hands.
"Good to see you awake."
"Well I did have an exciting day yesterday."
"Yea, don't remind me."
Pyro chuckled.
Alexandria grabbed Keith's hand that was near her's.
"Keith. Keith, wake up." Alexandria said.
Keith slowly opened his eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them. He looked up, blinked his eyes open and looked around the room. They he saw Alexandria awake in her bed.
"Alex, you're awake." Keith said, smiling.
Alexandria smiled, "Yea. I really needed it."
"I bet you did." Keith said.
Keith got up from the chair and kissed Alexandria. They keep their foreheads together.
"Where's our son at?" Alexandria asked.
"They have him in the nursery. I'll tell the doctor you're awake and if we can have Spencer in the room." Keith said.
Alexandria nodded and sat back against the bed. Keith kissed her forehead and left the room to find the doctor. Alexandria sighed in relief.
"Alex, are you all better now?" Apollo asked.
"A little bit. I'm still a little sore from it all, but I am better." Alexandria answered.
Apollo flew over to Alexandria and gave her a little hug.
Alexandria chuckled at him.
They waited a little bit before Keith came back with Dr. Windrow.
"Well good morning. I see you're finally up." Dr. Windrow said.
"Yes. I got a good amount of rest." Alexandria said.
"I'd say so." Dr. Windrow said.
She checked Alexandria over, "Well you seem find to me. I bet a few more days here with rest, you'll be ready to leave." She told her.
"Would you be able to have my son brought in?" Keith asked.
"Of course. I get him here as soon as I can." Dr. Windrow said.
They nodded. Dr. Windrow walked out of the room.
"I can't wait. I only saw him once and I didn't really get to hold him for long." Alexandria said.
Keith smiled and kissed her forehead, "Me too."
The door opened again and a nurse walked in with a bassinet with Spencer Clay written on the side of it. Something was wiggling around in it, since all Alexandria saw was arms. The nurse put the baby in the corner and left.
Keith got up and walked over to the bassinet. Keith smiled and reached down to pick up the baby. Keith brought him back over to the bed and sat down in the chair. Keith held Spencer close to his chest as he looked around at his new surroundings with his blue eyes. Keith held onto his little hand with his finger and Spencer gurgled and laughed at him.
"He's so amazing." Keith said.
Apollo got curious and flew over to the baby human. He looked down at him.
"Aw he's cute. Plus he's like me, a baby." Apollo pointed out.
"That's right sweetie." Pyro said.
Helios went over next and looked at him, "He looks like you Keith." Helios said.
"Thank you Helios." Keith said.
"Can I hold him now?" Alexandria asked.
"Of course." Keith answered.
Keith held out Spencer to her and she gently took him into her arms. Spencer looked up at Alexandria and giggled at her. He remembered his mom and was happy to see her again. Alexandria smiled at him.
"Who's my baby boy?" Alexandria cooed.
Spencer giggled louder and nibbled on his hand.
Alexandria and Keith smiled at him.
"We're a real family now." Keith said.
"Yes we are." Alexandria agreed.
"We all are." Pyro added.
Alexandria nodded in agreement.
Pyro got close to Spencer and poked his nose, Spencer didn't really like that and started to cry a little. Alexandria started to rock him and tried to keep him calm. Pyro felt bad that she made the baby cry. Soon Spencer got calm again and started to fall asleep in Alexandria's arms.
"Sorry, Alex." Pyro apologized.
"Its alright Pyro. You didn't mean to." Alexandria said.
Apollo went to Spencer again and they just looked at each other. Spencer reached out a hand and grabbed Apollo and brought him to his face. Apollo didn't try to fly away because Spencer had a nice grip on him so that if he wanted to get away he could. Spencer yawned and closed his eyes to go to sleep. He had Apollo pulled to him and Apollo only stayed on the baby's chest and decided to go to sleep himself.
Everyone awed at the two as they got use to each other really quick. Alexandria handed Keith Spencer and he took the baby from her arms and put him back in his bassinet.
"I say they'll get along well." Pyro said.
"I agree with you." Alexandria agreed.
"They seemed to like each other." Keith said.
Keith and Alexandria were glad that their son may have found a good friend.
-One Week Later-
After spending the week at the hospital, it was time for the family to finally go home. Alexandria was dressing Spencer so that he was able to go outside. Alexandria played with his feet as he kicked them and laughed at her. She put a one piece that hat the feet attached to them. Pyro and Apollo where there as well and watching the two.
"Who's my good boy?" Alexandria asked as she went to playing with his hands now.
Spencer laughed again.
Keith then walked into the room with Helios on his shoulder.
"You ready?" Keith asked.
Alexandria picked up Spencer and kissed his check.
"We are now." Alexandria answered.
Keith smiled at them and went over to Alexandria and kissed her first before he kissed Spencer's forehead.
"Then lets go home." Keith said.
Keith grabbed the bag, "I'll wait for you outside to get the car." Keith told her.
"Alright." Alexandria said.
Alexandria put Spencer in his mobile car seat and made sure he was in securely. She picked him up and headed out of the room, the bakugan following her. She headed down to the front of the hospital and Keith was there waiting for her with the car. Alexandria put Spencer in the car and sat in the back with him. Keith got in the driver seat, the bakugan on the dashboard. Keith then started to drive home. Alexandria played with Spencer all they way home and sometimes he looked out the window at his new surrounding going by. Soon Keith pulled into the driveway of the house.
"Look sweetie, were home." Alexandria said to Spencer with a smile.
Spencer cheered and held his hands out to get let out. Alexandria chuckled at him and took him out of his seat. They walked to the door of the house.
"Welcome home Spencer." Keith said as he held the door open for Alexandria.
Alexandria walked into the house and Spencer looked around the house. Alexandria and Keith smiled at his reaction. They walked up to the stairs and headed to the room across from theirs. The bakugan headed to the room down the hall to give the family some privacy. Keith opened the door and they walked in. Spencer looked around the room, his room.
"This is your room Spencer. We made it just for you." Alexandria said.
Spencer looked around the room and cheered at the animals he saw on the curtains. Alexandria brought him closer to the window and Spencer took the curtains into his hands. He tried to put it into his mouth, but Alexandria gently grabbed it from him.
"No no Spencer, that's not to eat." Alexandria told him.
Spencer whined when the curtain was pulled from him.
"Now now, its okay. Its just not to play with." Keith said holding Spencer's little hand.
Spencer then got distracted by Keith's hand and started to play with his fingers. Keith smiled, he looked up at Alexandria and gave her a kiss. As he pulled away Keith grimaced from Spencer trying to bit his finger. Keith only chuckled and took his finger away. They both then heard a knock on the front door.
"I'll get it." Keith said.
Alexandria nodded as Keith walked to get the front door. Alexandria slowly followed down the steps as Keith was in a giant hug with Mira.
"Oh Keith, its good to see you again." Mira said.
"Mira you only saw me two days ago." Keith said.
"Still feels like forever." Mira then spotted Alexandria and ran to her, "Good to see you as well Alexandria. Then there's my little nephew." Mira cooed looking at Spencer's.
Spencer laughed a little bit at Mira. Mira always did something funny to make him laugh. Spencer held his arms out to Mira and she gently took him from Alexandria's arms. Mira tickled him a little bit.
Keith walked over to Alexandria and wrapped an arm around her waist, he smiled down at her. Alexandria smiled up at him and watched Mira play with their son. Spencer was calm from Mira tickling him, but then he started to cry a little and held his arms out to Alexandria. Alexandria took back Spencer and tried to calm him.
"Shh, what's the matter sweetie?" Alexandria wondered.
Spencer continued to cry, but a little louder.
"I think someone may need a nap. I say we feed him and put him to bed." Keith said.
"Well I'm the one who has to feed him, remember?" Alexandria told him.
Keith chuckled, "Yes I know."
Alexandria took Spencer upstairs while Keith lead Mira into the living room.
"Any reason for this visit, Mira?" Keith asked as he sat on the couch.
"No, just a little visit." Mira answered, sitting on the chair.
"Well, you can't play with Spencer with him going to bed. I'm sure Alexandria will go to sleep as well, she still needs her rest." Keith told her.
Mira sighed, "I guess I came to visit at a wrong time."
"You can always come back later today."
"Guess so."
"How about this? I invite you and Gus to dinner tonight?"
"Oh, Keith, that sounds so nice. I'd love to."
Keith nodded. Mira gave Keith a hug and she opened a portal.
"See you later." Mira said and jumped into the portal.
Keith got up and headed to Spencer's room. When he opened the door, Alexandria had a fast asleep Spencer in her arms. She was just putting Spencer into the crib. She tucked him him and kissed his forehead. Keith walked over and kissed his forehead as well and wrapped one arm around Alexandria as they watched their son sleep peacefully.
They quietly walked out of the room and closed the door. They headed to their room. Alexandria yawned.
"Guess its time for bed for someone else." Keith pointed out.
Alexandria giggled, "Yea. I still need my rest."
"Mind if I join you?" Keith asked.
"Not at all." Alexandria smiled.
Alexandria went to the bed and laid down. Keith got in behind her and held her against his chest. It wasn't long till Alexandria was fast asleep.
He kissed her forehead, "Sleep well love." Keith said.
Keith got comfy and feel asleep as well.
-One hour later-
Keith woke up to the sound of crying from across the hall. Keith looked down to see Alexandria fast asleep still. He got up out of the bed and went to Spencer's room. He saw Spencer crying in his crib, he walked over and picked him up.
"Shh, Spencer. I'm here. Don't cry." Keith said, trying to calm him.
Spencer looked up at him with tears in his eyes and still cried a little bit. Keith gently rocked him in his arms. Spencer calmed a little bit as he got comfy in his fathers arms.
"I think someone just wanted attention." Keith said with a chuckle.
Keith picked up a stuffed dragon in Spencer's crib and started to make it fly around his head and make noises. Spencer started to laughed at it and wanted the dragon. Keith handed the dragon to Spencer who took it and tried to make it fly as well, but just by twisting it back and forth. Spencer giggled again.
"Keith?" Someone said.
Keith turned around to see Apollo in the door way.
"Hello Apollo. Is there something you wanted?" Keith asked.
"No, I just wanted to see how Spencer was." Apollo said, flying over to the little boy.
"He's fine. He wanted attention is all." Keith told him.
"Can I play with him?" Apollo asked.
"Not yet Apollo. He's still to little." Keith answered.
Spencer had other ideas as he threw the dragon to the floor and gently grabbed Apollo. Spencer had Apollo face him and started to make him fly like he did the stuffed dragon. Apollo didn't like being shaken up so much and managed to get out of Spencer's hands. Spencer didn't like that and started to cry again. Apollo felt bad so went back over to the little human in his hand. Spencer stopped crying and started to play with him again.
Keith smiled at the two. Keith gently set Spencer down on the floor on his stomach as he played with Apollo, who was now flying around his head. Making Spencer laugh and cheer out. Keith sat back in the rocking chair and watched the two. Helios soon flew into the room and landed on Keith's lap.
"I see they are having fun." Helios pointed out.
"Yes. Its quite cute. I'm sure they will partner up in the future." Keith said.
"Oh I'm sure they will. They get along so well right now." Helios said.
Keith nodded and continued to watch the two.
After another hour, Alexandria walked into the room. She was still rubbing sleep from her eyes. Then she saw Spencer on the floor playing with Apollo. She looked over to Keith and Helios in the rocking chair.
Keith waved her over and she walked over to him. Helios moved to the table next to the chair as Alexandria sat in Keith's lap.
"I was wondering why the bed was cold." Alexandria pouted.
"Sorry about that. Someone woke up and wanted attention, but we have been playing with Apollo the whole time." Keith told her.
Alexandria looked down at her son laughed at what the young bakugan did.
"I can see that. They are having fun." Alexandria said.
Pyro then came flying into the room.
"Apolloight. Time for your training." Pyro said.
Apollo groaned, "Do I have to mommy?"
"Yes." Pyro answered.
Apollo sighed and started to fly away. Spencer didn't like his friend going away and started to whine.
Apollo turned back around and flew back down to him in his hand.
"Don't worry Spenc. I'll be back to play more later. I promise." Apollo told him.
Spencer sighed and held his hand up so Apollo could fly to Pyro. Apollo went to Pyro and they went out to do his training.
Alexandria went to the floor next to Spencer and looked at him.
"Don't worry hun. Apollo will be back soon." Alexandria told him.
Spencer looked at his mother.
Alexandria smiled, "You want mommy to play with you?" Alexandria asked.
Spencer smiled and nodded his head.
Alexandria saw the stuffed dragon on the floor and picked it up. She started to make and fly and stuff and Spencer like it.
Keith watched as his new family played on the floor. Keith smiled to see that they could finally be a family with there son finally being here.
Keith picked up a dinosaur from the crib and got on the floor on the other side of Spencer. They started to play together. It made Keith happy to see a smile on everyone's face, especially his son.
He wouldn't have it any other way.
Chapter End!
Wolf: Nope this ain't the ending. Not yet. There is still more to come.
