Holiday Lights Chapter 11: Hope
Slowly Susan learned to walk again. It was painful; her legs had been badly burned. She had lost a lot of blood and due her lack of concern for herself she hadn't been in excellent condition to began with making her recovery more difficult. Marcus spent hours daily helping her with exercises that she had to do. Finally on New Year's Day Stephen decided she would have to learn to walk. With Marcus holding her on one side and Stephen on the other she took three painful steps before she collapsed in Marcus's arms. The next day she was able to walk further, and the next day, further. Till January 9th when she was able to walk short distances. On that day in the medlab, hope was born in the form of a future for the Army of Light. That future was David Jeffery Sheridan. Susan smiled as they heard him cry and struggle to breathe his first breath. She stood up slowly as everyone was cooing at him and walked out slowly to meet her godson. Stephen smiled when he saw she had walked by herself and after allowing them a moment told her to go back to bed. He also promised that she could be released the next day, which caused her great pleasure. She held the child and silently slipped something into the folds of the cloth in which he lay. Finally she handed him back to John with congratulations and was ushered into the room where she had been since the incident. That night as Delenn prepared her child for bed, she gasped as a 1000 credit slit fell from the cloth. John came in and smiled, knowing it was from Susan. Delenn said, "We must return it." "No, it is Russian custom to give a newborn money in this way. And she would be offended if we returned it." For Hope's future.
