The Birth of the Brite

Chapter 4

"Troy?" Myst whispered to her husband gasping her belly in pain. The Spectran Man didn't wake up. Myst held her breath in pain again. She knew this pain. Her new child was coming. The chance that the Brite might be born this time. She screeched this time. As she pushed involuntarily. Before long a cry fell across the room as Myst greeted her child. As she did she felt another round of the intense pain. She screamed as she pushed again to her surprise a second infant laid but this one didn't cry just stared at her mother. About the time the newer arrival had been pulled into her mother's arms the normally bright sky, grew darker then normal almost black enough you couldn't see anything in front of you. A low rumble started outside it grew and grew until it started shaking everything around them as bright streaks of lightning struck across the sky. As if it were welcoming the two new lives that night. Both newborns stared in interest instead of wailing as others would have. Myst smiled,

"The Brite has been born."

The next morning Troy woke to the greeting of seeing one of his newborn daughters for the first time.

"Myst when did you?"

"Last night, I can't believe you managed to sleep through the whole thing. What does your Captain have you doing out there?" Troy shook his head and was about to take the newborn he seen into his arms,

"Adea Amanda. Is her name Adea means Great Strength" Troy nodded grinning like and idiot he then noticed the one beside the bed.

"Two?"

"Yes,"

"WOW this is incredible! Your amazing Myst." The Woman grinned at this herself as the newborn in the cradle broke out into a wail. Troy picked her up and instantly the child stopped.

"Looks like you've got a daddy's girl already Troy."

"I see that." Troy said looking into the crystal eyes of his second daughter.

"You're a just a wisp of a baby, aren't you little girl?" He asked the child softly. "your just a wispy girl." At that moment the child grinned at him.

"Troy I think she chose her name for you."

"what's that Myst?"

"Call her what you just did"

"Alright, yur a wispy girl" he repeated, the baby's eyes lit up even more this time.

"By golly your right Myst she does. You wanna be called Wisp, do you?" He asked the small one, "Alright I got my little Wispy, and my little Storm girls." Just then Krystolis ran in.

"Mamma, Papa big noise last night." They looked up as the four year old ran in, Kathis behind the boy. "He wanted to come to you last night but ended up staying with me."

"Thank you mother."

"So the Brite has arrived has she?"

"Yes as well as an extra bonus" she said pointing to Adea and Wisp."

"Mamma? You got a mirror?" the adults laughed.

"No my son, there's two babies to sisters for you." Krystolis eyed the newborns he poked at them a bit to see what would happen.

"They no fun." He said getting down and heading out the door. Troy eyed his wife to see what was going to happen. The boy came back with a toy,

"Babies play" Myst had to laugh

"they can't play yet."

"They broke?"

"No not broken, they're not old enough."

"Papa fix"

"what?"

"papa fix babies" Troy had to laugh.

"here Papa will show you what you do with a baby this small, troy said picking up his son and sitting him in a chair.

"Sit back." He nodded and did so Troy set one into the four year old's arms, helping to support the baby the whole time.

"that's all they do?"

"for now."

"They no fun." Krystolis said again before letting his father pick the infant up and handed her back to her mother.
