Chapter 3: Meet the Expecting Parents
Vegeta slowed his pace as he entered Bethlehem, keeping his eyes on the star.
"Don't wooorry," Navida said. "You've got pleeenty of time. Now, gooo to the iiinn and get somethiiing to eeeeat."
"Yes!" Vegeta cried. "Bring on the grub!" He marched himself down the street to the inn.
When he reached the inn, a young lad took the sheep to the manger. He entered the inn and sat at a table. A young man, presumably an employee, walked over to the table and greeted Vegeta.
"Jonathan!" he said. "I wasn't expecting you back so soon! What brings you back to Bethlehem?"
"I had unexpected business to attend to, Mordechai," Vegeta answered.
"I see," Mordechai replied. "So, what can I get for you?"
"Just a leg of lamb and a glass of red wine, and don't you dare touch my sheep."
"All right. I'll be back with your meal soon." Mordechai left to prepare the meal.
Wait, Vegeta thought. How do I know his name?
"We fiit you into the tiiiime period!" Navida baaed from the manger. "Doooon't worrrry! You're in gooooood hands, errr, hooves."
Mordechai returned with the food, and Vegeta scarfed it down. He drank the wine slowly, as though savoring each drop of its home-pressed goodness. As he finished draining his wine glass, he noticed a young couple entering the inn. The woman was obviously pregnant, which brought back many memories for Vegeta. He was held spellbound by this young couple as they walked up to Mordechai.
"Excuse me, sir," began the young man. "We've been traveling for many days, and my wife is heavy with child. We were wondering whether we could room at this inn." Mordechai looked over the pair with great sympathy.
"I'm so sorry, but there's no room at the inn," Mordechai replied with remorse. "But there is room in the manger. You're more than welcome to rest there."
"Thank you, sir," answered the young man. "May God bless you for your kindness." He turned to his wife. "Come, Mary. Let us go to the manger." The young man led his wife out to the manger.
Vegeta suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He remembered what those nine long months were like, and wished that he could help them.
"Vegeeeeeeta! Come quickly to the mangerrrrr!" cried Navida. There was a note of urgency in her bleating voice. Vegeta slapped down the cash and headed out to the manger.
"Stupid sheep!" he muttered, marching into the manger. He grabbed Navida's muzzle and pulled it up to his face. "What do you want?"
"Loooook." She pointed to the young couple.
Vegeta tried to stay calm as he turned to look. The young man was panicking, for his wife had just gone into labor. The memories flooded his mind as he watched the young man go through what he went through, watching his wife deliver a child. He saw the panic in the young man's eyes, and walked over to them.
"Let me help you," he said to the couple. "I've done this before, and I'll do it again." He took a deep breathe, and prepared to help bring a child into the world.
A/N: Mushy ending to this chapter, no?
