The next year was a whirlwind of activity building an apartment/hospital complex that could handle everyone in Nostrade service. The hospital wing was cutting edge especially the obstetrics/pediatric facilities And true to his word many of us were also taking college classes, Evening Angel was studying to be a teacher, Tinkerbells was getting a degree in Business Accounting, Sakura was learning professional cooking, and Honey Bear was certifying to be a nurse with her internship being under Dr. Ikiteiruishi.
I was bursting with news but I knew who I had to tell first, " Where is Kurapika, Melody?"
"Almost done with Nostrade! And congratulations!"
I whipped back around, "How do you know? I wanted to tell Kurapika first."
"There is an audible change in your metabolism, I've been waiting for you so say something for 2 weeks!"
"Two whole weeks! Why didn't you say anything? I just took a test this morning!"
"Ah! This is new territory for me too, next time I'll speak up. OK?"
The joy in Kurapika's face as he learned the 1supst/sup hurtle to rebuilding his clan had been meet. "Kurapika! What should we name our baby girl?"
"Congratulations Krys! I hadn't even thought of names are you sure you don't want to pick one?"
"Absolutely What ever you pick I'm sure will be poetry perfect!"
"How about 'Kristalli" it's your name in Kurta?"
"See I knew you'd pick the perfect name! I didn't know you spoke another language? Can you teach her Kurta?"
"I don't see why not. How about you find out when the good Dr. thinks she can hear us and I'll tell her all our Myths and Legends."
"Angel come with me to my appointment today. Please?"
"All right I think I have time- wait are you GLOWING?"
"Yes dear and so the Dr. is going to need to start following you!"
"Dr. Ikiteiruishi? Good morning I have great news!"
"You do? Congratulations! Are you the next young lady I'm working with Ms?"
"Tinkerbells, and yes what do you need me to do?"
"Well there are a few tests but then our next step is to have a clone genetically different from the host so start thinking of who you'd like to have a mini me of."
"Oh I know exactly who I want! Now I just need to go ask!"
"Oh Krys! What am I going to do! He refused said not until the rest of his clan have been reborn." Angel wined.
"I hope I'm not overstepping Tink? But I would like you to look at a picture." Melody stepped into our conversation.
"Oh! My! She's gorgeous Wait why are you showing me this? Do you know her? Do you think she'd be willing to let me clone her?"
"In reverse order, Yes, Yes, and this is what I looked like before tragedy deformed me. I hope I didn't presume too far when I heard Kurapika turn you down."
"If my girl can grow up like this that would be stunning!"
"Hmmm, this is a very curios case Ms. Melody. I have never seen someone survive such a profound trauma and live, I need to do some test to see if your DNA is damaged but if everything checks out this would be a very good next step."
"Well my dear you are progressing nicely! Ah Mr. Kurapika, checking on her progress again. When are you going to let me run some tests on you so I have a mature individual to compare the Eye's clones development to." Dr. Ikiteiruishi segued.
"Wait if the Doc wants to check you out you can make the time to get a physical! I'm sacrificing 9 months at a time you can find an hour!" I scolded.
"Alright! Alright! Will soon as your done with Kris work for you Doc?" was Kurapika's chagrined reply.
AN sorry for long wait I'm still working on the next chapter to include everything it needs to for story flow including Leoreo's dropping back in for a visit.
