Chapter 14: Two Years Later

"Mrs. Corbett, we need one more push," the doctor instructed. Karone fell back against the pillows with tears of happiness and pain.

"I can't, I'm too tired," she whimpered.

"You have to, Mrs. Corbett," the doctor insisted.

Karone screamed in pain and Leo winced when she nearly broke his hand. She fell back against him and smiled when a baby's wail was heard throughout the room. "It's a handsome boy," the doctor announced. Karone sighed in relief and Leo wiped sweat from her forehead. He then stood up and took his son into his arms.

"Here he is," he murmured.

Karone took her son into her arms with a smile. "What are you going to name him?" She asked. Leo touched his son's little hand with a sigh.

"How about Lucas Kaleb Corbett?" He asked.

"I like it," she replied.

She touched her son's head with a smile. "My sweet, sweet Lucas," she whispered. She then let out a yawn and fell asleep. Leo looked at his son with a smile.

"Hey, buddy. I'm your dad. You'll be meeting your brother and sister tomorrow. They would be here today, but you were very late," he murmured.

He then saw a silver light in front of him and Zhane appeared. "Looks like you're happy," he commented.

"Yeah, I am," Leo answered.

"How's Karone?" he asked.

"She's exhausted. She was in labor for twelve hours."

Zhane walked over and touched Lucas's tiny hand. "Take care, Leo. You're going to be a great dad," he told him. Then he was gone. Leo watched as Zhane disappeared. Lucas opened his eyes and started to cry.

"This is going to some very long months," he commented.

Karone woke up and found her son fast asleep in his crib. She looked over at the bed next to her and found her husband fast asleep behind her. She turned over to look at him. She touched his cheek with a smile. Leo opened his eyes and smiled to see his beautiful wife smiling at him. "How long have you been awake?" He asked.

"Not that long," she replied.

He touched her cheek and placed a kiss on her lips. "I have to go," he informed.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

He stopped and smiled at her. "I could tell you miss Andros and the rest of your friends. I think we should go back to earth," he replied. Karone grabbed his hand.

"Are you seriously going to take me back to earth?" She asked.

"Yeah, I mean if you want to go back to earth."

Before Leo could react, Karone threw her arms around his neck. "Yes, I want to go back to earth," she replied. Leo smiled and hugged her back. She pulled back and smiled at him. "I came here to start a new life. I did too. I have a great husband who just adores my children and we have a baby of our own. I want to go back to earth, Leo. I miss Andros and the rest of my friends," she explained.

"Then it's settled. We're going to earth," he announced.

"What about Mike and the rest of your friends?" She asked.

"Well, this was all our birthday gift to you," a voice replied.

Karone realized that it was her birthday. She looked up to see Mike, Maya, Kendrix, Damon, and Kai standing there. "Oh, you guys," she murmured. Maya and Kendrix walked over and embraced her. She looked over at her niece and nephew as they walked over to her.

"Auntie, Karone, are you really going to leave?" Morgan asked.

"Don't worry, Morgan, I'll be back to visit," she assured her.

She pulled her niece and nephew into her arms and gave them each a kiss. Just then, Lucas started to cry. "I'll get him," Leo assured her. He picked his son up and they all looked at the infant. Karone smiled and then she felt a breeze go by.

"I'll always be with you," a voice whispered.

Karone looked around and the only thing she saw a stream of silver going towards the sky. She smiled and then she looked at her son.
