Remember, no flames!! It's my first fic, so be nice. I don't even think that I'm that great of a writer.

A Birth Gone Wrong???

"I want this baby out now!" Trinity screamed in pain. King Peacecraft was comforting his sister. The professor was operating a computer, which had many monitors that measured the heart rate, breathing rate, etc. on the baby. Her radio cracked.

"Professor. We have mobile suits for your defense. We don't know how long we can hold them off though."

"Try the best you can," the professor replied.

"I've had enough!" the king yelled, "Who are you and what is going on?" he glared at the woman expecting an answer. She hesitated. She couldn't reveal her identity even if it was the Cinq Kingdom ruler. The woman turned around and opened a bottle, which contained a sweet and strong smelling liquid. She poured some of the liquid onto a piece of cloth.

"How dare you turn your back on me!" the king yelled. The woman turned to him and covered the king's mouth with the cloth.

"Forgive me, your Highness," the professor said as she knocked the king out with chloroform. The king went limp and the woman caught him. She then dragged him to where the pilot was sitting. She eased him into a chair and strapped him in. the woman returned to Trinity who was breathing hard as she was already in labour.

"Trinity, now is the time," said the professor. She took her coat off and put on a pair of latex gloves, preparing to deliver the baby.

"Vesta, what are you doing here? I thought that you were never going to return after you helped Lana," cried Trinity.

"I'm sorry Trinity, but this child may be in worse condition than Lana's,"

Vesta replied. She remembered Lana's birth well.

Flashback

The child was born. It was crying. But it was going to die if it didn't get the help right away.

"My baby can't die!" Trinity yelled. Vesta looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"There is no other option," Vesta said.

"What are you going to do to my baby?" Trinity asked frantically.

"I'm taking her to my lab. I can help your baby there. Her genes were too weak. I'll have to alter them. It's the only way," Vesta replied. Trinity had tears in her eyes. 'If it's the only way, than there is nothing I can do,' she thought.

"Very well. Just make sure I get her back," she said. Vesta gave her a comforting smile.

"I promise," she said, "Remember, I owe you."

************

The operation was successful. But with a few harmless defects. The child looked abnormal. As the first genetically altered human, the child's features would look different and will be more intelligent than the average person when it grows up and matures.

"Success!" thought Vesta, "I have kept my promise."

Few days later, Vesta returned the baby back to Trinity. But Vesta became attached to the child. Trinity offered Vesta the role of Godmother to Lana, and accepted. But Vesta hid in the shadows and only visited Trinity and Lana when she could. Vesta had to take Lana away for awhile quite a few times to make sure Lana's recovery was a complete success. But after a year, Vesta couldn't see Lana. The king suspected that the organization had spies. Vesta disappeared without a trace and monitored Trinity and Lana from the colonies.

Everything went well, until Trinity was pregnant once again. But Vesta's tests showed that the next child may be even weaker than Lana was. She wanted to help again and test another gene alteration, except this one would be far more advanced.

"Please Trinity. Let me help again. I still owe you. You are like a sister to me," Vesta pleaded, "The child's life is at stake."

"All I did was save your life," said Trinity.

"Exactly," Vesta replied. Trinity lowered her head to think. She felt another contraction. The pain was worse than when she gave birth to Lana.

"Alright! You can help. Just don't hurt my child," she yelled. Vesta nodded and guided her friend to give birth for the second time.

**********************

The child was born with difficulty. The organization was attacking them. When the child was completely out of the mother, Vesta placed the child in an emergency contraption. They landed on earth near a forest. Soldiers of an unknown force came to aid the two shuttles and Vesta headed to an underground base with the newborn child. In the lab, she went through the same procedure that was done on Lana. But, just as Vesta suspected, the child was weaker than Lana was.

'I will not fail,' Vesta thought, 'I will succeed. This child will not die.' She had to support the baby in order to stay alive to be genetically altered. When she realized that her efforts were not helping, she was loosing the child's life. Vesta began to panic. She frantically tried to keep the baby alive.

The breathing stopped. The brain waves disappeared. The heart, stopped completely. Vesta stared at the computers and was dead still. A tear slid down her cheek. She failed. She hid her emotions. She had to stay calm for Trinity's sake. Vesta made her way to her friend's waiting room. When she entered the room, Trinity was sitting up on the bed she was lying in.

"How's my baby?" she asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" She had a smile on her face. Vesta walked towards the bed and sat on the edge.

"It's a girl," she replied, "but there is something that I have to tell you."

"What is it?" Trinity asked. Vesta took a deep breath and looked at her friend straight in the eye.

"I'm sorry," she said, "She's gone." Trinity's smile turned into a saddened expression.

"What? You must be mistaken. She can't be gone." Trinity was now in tears and trying to deny the truth.

"I'm sorry. There wasn't anything that I could do. I tried." Vesta pulled Trinity into a hug and gently rocked her.

"I am so sorry," Vesta said. She then cried along with her friend.

A while later, Vesta returned to the lab to where the lifeless child lay. She had to it for one last time. As she was about to remove a cable that was attached to the baby, she heard a beeping sound. She looked up at the heart monitor. It had a pulse. She checked the other computers and all had readings. Vesta couldn't believe it. She checked the file and saw that the child's system only stalled for a bit. The child began to cry. Vesta began to cry again, except the tears were tears of joy. After a few minutes of confirming the life support of the baby, the child was perfectly fine. Vesta carried the baby to Trinity. She was startled.

"Here is your daughter. She came back to stay," said Vesta. The mother began to cry as she held her newborn daughter.

"What are you going to name her Trinity?" Vesta asked.

"Ara," she replied, "But I'll nickname her Phoenix for she came back like the Phoenix did as it was immortal." Vesta smiled. Ara was alive and well in her mother's arms. Phoenix was an appropriate nickname for this child.

Well, finally got that chapter out. In case you ppl are wondering about the whole Phoenix thing, look up the Phoenix history. I'll get the last part out and then I'll start the actual fic. Hope you all enjoyed this!!
