Chapter 3- A slight change
A few months passed. As Nova's stomach grew, Sprx became anxious and acted very odd. He was protective, and wanted no one even to touch Nova. She was very annoyed by his behavior, telling him that she was only having a baby, it wasn't that bad. He did not appear comforted.
As they began decorating for the wedding, things went more smoothly. Nova did the easier jobs, like getting flowers and choosing colors. Sprx would not let her do anything that involved lifting, climbing, or any physical work whatsoever.
Quit worrying, Nova said as she felt a slight cramp. She was already used to it. I'll tell you if something's wrong, I think I would know! You aren't having this kid, I am! So let me worry about it okay? I know you're worried, but relax. His concern only grew as she doubled over, holding her stomach in pain. She went to sit down, taking deep breaths to try to get rid of the pain. But she felt worse. She retreated to her room to lie down. But as she entered her room, something gushed over her feet, her water had just broken. She started screaming, bringing everyone tearing down the hallway. Gibson took over, sending Antauri and Otto downstairs. Sprx stayed with Nova, wincing slightly as she almost crushed his fingers. 3 hours of screaming, swearing, and pain later, it was almost time. What the hell… she said as she pushed as hard as she could. Gibson held up a baby monkey, then dried it off. But then he seemed surprised. He held up another, and three more followed. He was shocked. Quints? He said, astonished. Quintuplets? It's not possible! Nova grinned. He handed her each baby, one at a time. Four girls, he said, and a boy. The first, named Lyra, was red, with bright yellow spots and black eyes. Fantasia, said Nova, looking at her second, who looked just like her mother. Sprx named the third girl Rose, she looked just like him. The last girl was named Ember, she was red with pink eyes. The boy was more difficult to name. Finally they decided on Galaxy. He was red with yellow stripes, and black eyes. Nova was so tired she fell asleep, before Antauri and Otto came in to see the new babies. Antauri heard the "Quintuplets" and promptly fainted. Otto just laughed and dragged off to Gibson's medical room.
