Chapter 21
It's Been Awhile
The ship landed and the crew got off board. There to great them was Drs. Sonia and Morita. "Eureka and Renton, it's nice to see you again." said Sonia. Then she noticed Eureka's wings. "Eureka when did you grow those?" she asked. "They're beautiful!" "It's a long story." stated Renton. "I'll tell you later." said Eureka. "I like them." said Linck. "Yeah, me too. I have a pretty butterfly lady for a Mama." Maeter told with a smile. Maurice smiled along with his siblings. "So Holland, how have you and the Mrs. been? I'm betting your little bundle of joy has given you a few sleepless nights." asked Morita laughing. "Yeah we did have a few of those. But Talho and I are doing fine." answered Holland. "That's good to hear. Now if everyone would please follow us. We need to proceed inside." stated Morita. GekkoState followed them inside. "Excuse me, but where is Dr. Mischa? Renton and I need to go see her." asked Eureka. "Mischa is probably in her office with Greg and Norb." answered Sonia. "NORB IS HERE?!!" Renton and Eureka exclaimed.
"Sorry I forgot to mention this. Greg and Mischa have a child now. Norb is the name their son." stated Morita. "Oh." responded Eureka. "Well that certainly clears things up." said Renton. "Sorry about the confusion." Sonia said apologizing. "Do you remember where her office is Eureka?" she asked. "C'mon Renton lets go." Renton nodded and took hold of her hand as she led the way. "Is something wrong with them?" Morita asked Holland. "Do you actually mean to tell me that you didn't notice the difference in her?!" Sonia asked Morita. "Well, no. What difference?" he asked her. "Isn't it obvious? Eureka is pregnant you idiot!" Sonia answered him. "Oh. I just though she had been eating well." replied Morita. Sonia smacked him on the back of the head. "Ouch!" he yelled and began rubbing his head. GekkoState laughed at him. "Aw shut up and just keep following us. We have a few new projects that you need to see." said Morita.
Meanwhile Eureka and Renton had arrived at Dr. Mischa's office. Once there they were greeted by both Greg and Mischa. "It's been awhile you two." said Greg. "Eureka and Renton, I'd like you to meet our son, Norb." said Mischa showing them the baby she was cradling in her arms. "Gah-goo." went little Norb. "He's so adorable!" said Eureka. "Yeah, he sure is." agreed Renton. "Dr. Mischa, if it's alright Eureka and I need speak with you alone in private." stated Renton. "Very well. Greg, would you mind looking after Norb for awhile so we can talk?" Mischa asked her husband. "Sure thing my little cub. Come her you." Greg said taking hold of his son and exited the room. "I still wish he'd stop calling me that." said Mischa. "Now, what can I help you with? Is it about your baby?" she asked the couple. "H-How did you know?" they asked. "Please, don't be so silly. Remember, I'm a woman first and a doctor second. I can tell about these things." Mischa replied. "Now, shall we begin Eureka?" she asked. "First I need you to remove all clothing except for your undergarments. If you want I can ask Renton to leave the room." she told her. "No that won't be necessary. I want Renton to stay with me." Eureka told Mischa. "Very well. Strip then." Mischa told her.
Mischa gave Eureka an ultrasound. "Eureka, did you know it is possible to tell the gender of the baby at this stage of the pregnancy?" Mischa told them. "Really?" asked the couple. Mischa nodded as she proceeded with the test. Then suddenly Mischa stopped. "What is it? Is something wrong with our baby?!" asked a frantic Renton. Eureka began to look concerned too. "Mischa?" went Eureka. "No, nothing is wrong. Everything is fine." Mischa told them. The couple let out sighs of relief. Then Mischa spoke up. "Eureka, if you don't mind me asking. I'm curious. Were you hoping for a boy or a girl?" she asked. "Well, Eureka and I don't care about that very much. But since you mentioned the subject. Which is it?" asked Renton. "Are we having a boy or girl Mischa?" Eureka asked. "Both." answered Mischa. "Huh?!" Eureka and Renton exclaimed. "Both." Mischa repeated. "You're having twins. A boy and a girl. Congratulations!" Mischa told them as she turned the monitor in their direction. On the screen Eureka and Renton could clearly see the image of their twin babies. The couple gazed into each other's eyes. Their gems sparkled. Both felt the same emotions. Feelings of joy. Just then, Renton fainted. "Renton!" exclaimed Eureka.
