Chapter 9: The Miracle Child
Author's Note: Thanks for reviewing last chapter!!!!!! And yes the baby will be named in this chapter.
A baby's cry could be heard through the base, everything seemed to freeze and listen to the new voice of the world being born. Only the fast breathing of Ashley Tauros seemed to be heard at the moment.
"Ash, it's a boy," Leon said holding a bundle of blanket to keep the baby born.
She stretched her weak arms towards him, "Let me hold him." Leon smiled and gently handed her their child, he sat next to her and watched as she let the baby grab her finger.
"Leon your son is a miracle child," Doc said taking a seat on the other side of Ashley.
Leon looked up at his father curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, during the labor we were in deep trouble cause the security wasn't going on, but once your son was born the security system kicked in saving us all."
"That's bizarre," Leon said.
"You're telling me," Doc said we then looked down at his second grandson and smiled. "So what are you going to call him?"
"I don't know, I guess its up to Ashley since she had more time to think about it."
"Mark."
"Huh?" both men said.
"His name will be Mark Tauros."
Leon smiled, "That's a wonderful name."
Ashley giggled, "He looks like his father."
"Oh why?"
"Can't you see it? He will have brown hair like his father." She said pointing out the small strands of hair on the baby's head.
"Yes but he has his mother's eyes," Leon said pointing out the green eyes that were looking at the adults. They all smiled and watched Ashley tickle her new son.

"That was weird," Brad said as he, Naomi, and Jamie walked their zoids back to the base.
"You get used to it after a while," Naomi replied.
"Yeah, they try to attack us while our security system isn't on, then get in before we can activate it. This was the first time that they were able to get in. I guess I'll have to check the system to see if it's okay," Jamie pondered.
Brad rolled his eyes as Jamie continued to ponder his thoughts he then turned to Naomi who seemed awfully quiet. "What's wrong?"
She turned and smiled at him, "Oh nothing, I just have a really bad feeling I missed out on something."
"Hmm…maybe it's just something you ate."
"Maybe……maybe not."

They had taken Ashley into her room and laid her on the bed so that she could rest. Leon sat on the other side rocking his son back and forth. Ashley would be smiling watching him play with Mark. Leena suddenly threw the door open panting as if she had run all the way from the picnic. She immediately ran to Ashley and grabbed her hand.
"I'm sooooo sorry!!! I missed the baby's birth!!! I feel awful!!!"
Ashley smiled and patted Leena's head, "It's okay. I forgive you…do you want to see him?" Leena sniffed up a tear and nodded. "He's with Leon."
Leena walked over to her brother and peered into the bundle of blanket he was holding, "Awwwww! He's so cute!!!!" Bevin came running in and hopped on the bed so he could see his new cousin.
"Is that my new friend?" he asked innocently. All the adults chuckled at his adorable question.
"He's a little too young Bevin, maybe in a couple of years," Leon said.
"How long is years?" Bevin asked innocently. The adults laughed softly at the child's adorable question. Leena scooped up the child.
"Will tell you when you can play with your cousin, but right now you need your nap mister."
"Noooo!!!!!! No nappy time!!!"
"Sorry rules are rules," Leena chuckled. Bevin laid his head in defeat unto his mother's shoulder. Once they left Bit came in.
"Ash, how are you doing?"
Ashley yawned, "A little tired."
Leon smiled, "Why don't you go to sleep me and Bit will look after Mark."
Ashley's eyes closed softly, "Thank you."
Bit and Leon walked out of the room along with Mark in Leon's arms. "I hope we don't make this type of thing common," Bit muttered.
"Huh?"
Bit laughed, "Well, you know watching Mark while Ashley goes does something. I had to do that a couple times when Bevin was smaller. It was like Hell trying to keep him happy."
Leon smile widened, "It can't be that bad, can it?"
Bit just kinda stared at him like saying, 'Duh!' He stretched out his arms towards Leon. "Can I hold my nephew?"
"Sure." Leon handed Mark over 'Uncle Bit' and watched Bit rock Mark back and forth.
"Man this brings back memories with me and Bevin."
"That does good cause your going to have to give me advice."
"What type of advice?"
"To be a good father."
Bit sighed and shook his head while smiling, and handed Mark back to Leon, "I can't help you there. It something that comes naturally if you try to be a good father." Leon sighed and looked down at Mark's chubby face. "But…"
"But what?"
"I can give you advice on changing his diaper and feeding him without making it World War 3!" Bit said cheerfully. Leon could feel a sweat drop form at the back of his head.
"Uh thanks Bit."
"Any time!! Any time!!!"
