Chapter Eleven
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Karone lay on the medical bed groaning in pain while Leo held her hand. "Hold on Karone, your doing great, just breath."
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through,
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
"Your doing good Karone," Kendrix said, "I can see the head crowning. Now I need you push to push."
Hush now I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Karone closed her eyes and pushed, cry out in pain.
Let the rain come down
And was away my tears
Let if fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come...
"All right I have the head, I need you to push again."
Where it was dark now there is light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
"Your doing great sweetie," Leo said kissing the top of her head, "Just keep pushing."
Karone smiled weakly through the tears and pushed again.
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
"Okay I have the shoulders," Kendrix said looking up from what she was doing, "One more push and you will be a mother."
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let if fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
A new day has come
Karone pushed once more and was rewarded with the sound of a baby's crying.
Chorus.
"Congragululations Leo and Karone, you have a healthy and beautiful new son," Kendrix said as she placed the wrapped newborn on Karone's stomach.
Karone cried tears of joy. "A son," she said smiling and then sighed.
"He's beautiful," Leo said looking at her, "Just like his mother." He leaned down and kissed gently on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you too," she said grinning.
Meanwhile, the others stood in the hallway waiting patiently for the news on the baby.
"How long does it take to have a baby," Damon complained, "They've been in their for hours."
"Do you really want me to answer question," Matt said grinning.
"Not really," Damon said. Then he grinned at Kai. "A month's worth of doing dishes says it's a girl."
"Your on," Kai said laughing.
Matt groaned and said: "Guess some things never change in this universe."
They were interrupted when the door opened and Kendrix beaconed them in. As they did, they found Karone sitting up in bed quietly holding the baby in her arms.
Leo looked up at them and smiled as they entered. Hey you guys, come meet our new son.
"Looks like you'll be doing dishes for month," Kai said as Damon admitted defeat.
"Can I hold him?" Matt asked.
"Sure," Karone said smiling as she handed the baby up to Matt, "Watch his head."
Matt carefully cradled the baby in his arms then he looked at Leo and Karone and asked: "What's his name?"
"Kevin," Leo said with a smile, "After my father."
Matt smiled and said, "Sounds like a fine name to me." The baby started to fuss so Matt handed him back to his mother.
"Dad would be proud if he could see you now," Mike said smiling.
They all smiled and agreed.
"So Matt," Leo said, "Now that Skokahn is gone, what are you going to do now?"
"I believe I can answer that," said a voice. In a flash of blue light, Guardian stepped into the room. "Greetings my friends."
"Guardian, what are you doing here?" Matt asked in surprise.
"I just came from rebuild Maya's village. The wiseman Jara sends his regards. I also made sure to remove your identities from everyone's minds. But my reason for coming here is you."
"Me?" Matt said in surprise.
"I've come to return you to Earth," Guardian replied.
"When?" Matt asked.
"When ever you're ready."
