Nova sat there feeling sorry for Adeline; she must be so sad, after all it was her first child. Over the next half hour she endured contractions that got more worse as the got closer until finally she reached a contraction that made her feel as if she would explode and she cried out, "Ahhh!"
Gibson heard her and rushed over to find the head crowning, "Ok Nova…you're fully dialated…" he put on a pair of gloves, "Antauri please escort Otto and Chiro out of the room please…" he finished setting up but listened as he heard Sprx and Nova talking.
"I promise that I'm going to take care of both of you…." Sprx declared looking into Nova's eyes
Nova was shocked that Sprx would even want to help after the baby was born, "Really?"
"Really….even if the kid ain't mine," he still looked into her tired and happy looking face and was startled when she leaned forward and kissed him; she laid back down and still looked at Sprx smiling and blushing
Gibson thought he should get started, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah…" she said still looking at Sprx
"Ok I want you to push…."
Nova let out a little grunt as she pushed as hard as she could; she shut her eyes trying with all her might. She moaned as she felt the head start to come out; it was so painful but she didn't cry out….
"You're doing great…just keep breathing…" said Sprx holding her hand
She let out a breath and inhaled quickly still pushing; she didn't stop either until she felt the head come all the way out. Nova let out a gasp of relief and started to breathe deeply with Sprx
Gibson spoke out after she stopped, "Ok nova the heads out but you still have a little more to go….just give me one good push and you can hold it…."
Nova gave Sprx a smile at the thought and let out another grunt and this time she moaned a little louder, she was getting tired…but she didn't stop as she felt her baby's shoulders and body painfully slip out. She stopped pushing as she felt a great relief and let out a big breath as she heard her baby cry for the first time….she couldn't believe it she had her baby and could now see exactly what it looked like; she laughed a little she was really happy.
After a moment of cleaning up the baby Gibson emerged from the screen holding a small yellow baby that looked exactly like her mother in a blanket; he smiled at her, "Congratulations…it's a girl." He handed her the small baby smiling.
Nova smiled a big smile as she held and looked at her baby, she was so beautiful but in the next second she felt another contraction, "G….Gibson…"
Gibson saw the look on her face and hurried back behind the screen, "Oh my goodness…Antauri…get me another blanket…Sprx take the baby and put her in that little plastic bassinet over there
Antauri quickly got another blanket as Sprx put the baby into the bassinet and asked, "What's going on?"
Gibson didn't even get to answer when Nova started breathing deeply and grunted, "There….There's another one…."
"Another baby?" he exclaimed as he walked back to her
"Yes….Nova I want you to push again." Gibson declared as he leaned down to grab the next baby's head
Nova felt to tired; she had put all her energy delivering her baby girl, "I…I can't"
"Come on yes you can…" Sprx encouraged
Nova looked at Sprx and knew she had to for her baby's sake; so she pushed as hard as she could, letting out another groan, she felt her baby's head crown again. Scrunching up her face at the immense pain once more…
"Good nova…keep trying…" she heard Gibson say from behind her screen
Nova continued to push as she felt the second set of shoulders and small body slide out; she let out a gasp of relief; she was exhausted….her second child cried
"Great Job…" Sprx said giving her a small hug…
Gibson cleaned up the second child and brought it out, "and here is your son…."
He was holding a small baby monkey with magenta fur and teal eyes…Gibson handed her, her second child. Then he and Sprx helped Nova sit up and he brought her first child so she could hold her two children…..
Nova looked into the faces of her children and smiled as Sprx sat next to her; he gave the small baby girl his finger which she grabbed and held
"Their beautiful…." he said
"Yea they are," she said smiling and let a tear fall out of one of her eyes
Gibson cleaned up his hands and got on the computer, "and what are my new niece and nephews names?" he asked looking at her
Nova didn't look up but looked at her children as she replied, "Raydon and Marcella…"
Gibson merely smiled thinking of Nova's happiness, "good choices…" he turned around and entered them into the computer creating the birth records. He let Nova hold her children for a small while and let Chiro and Otto come in to see them
"Aw….their so cute," Otto said as a sleeping Raydon shifted in his arms
"Yeah Nova, great job," Chiro agreed as Marcella sucked on her fist…..
Gibson stayed back finishing the birth certificates as the others mingled with Nova and her new children until he saw Nova's eyelids start to droop; he got up and started to usher everyone out, "alright….I'm sure Nova's quite tired so lets move her back to her room where I'm sure it's more comfortable….."
"What about Adeline?" Nova asked tiredly looking at the curtains
Gibson sighed, "She will be fine I promise, but I don't think it's best for any of you to be inside while I'm performing the procedure." he said, "except for Antauri of course"
Antauri didn't say anything but that didn't stop the monkey team from knowing how worried he was about not only his daughter but his grandchild as well…..
Gibson decided to continue, "Now Sprx and Otto will take you to your room for you to rest…" Nova looked at him…he knew that she didn't entirely agree with his decision but nodded; Chiro and Otto gave her children back to him then Sprx grabbed one side of the bed and Otto on the other. They rolled the bed all the way to her room; Otto looked nervous and excited at the same time, and when he opened the door she and Sprx saw that Sprx's bed had been moved into Nova's room and there were two bassinets, a small dresser, and a rocking chair inside
A shocked Sprx was the first to react, "Who did this?"
Otto looked embarrassed but spoke up, "Chiro and I thought you guys might want some baby stuff, so we made some bassinets and some furniture" he said smiling, "We even ordered some blankets and other things like that….then we heard you two talking before we left, so we thought we would try to do you a favor and move your bed into Nova's room….then an extra bassinet after we heard that there was a second baby…." he said thinking that he might be in trouble for this part
Nova simply looked at her new room; she couldn't believe how beautiful it was, "Oh Otto….Thank you," she reached up and pulled him into a hug feeling so grateful, "tell Chiro I said thank you too."
"No problem," he said with a smile and blushing, "here let me put the babies in their new beds." He sounded excited to do it as Nova handed Raydon in Otto's arms and Marcella in Sprx's; they both put them down inside their bassinets and they continued to sleep. Sprx went back to Nova and helped her into her bed as Otto stayed behind to look at the baby's
"Aw…" he said as Marcella sighed and continued to sleep, "well I'll leave and let you rest…hope you feel better"
"Thanks Otto," Nova said as she he left; she loved how her room looked…it was real motherly; she smiled.
"He's right you should get some sleep; I'll be right over there if you need me," Sprx said in a sentimental tone
"Ok, but first …." she smiled as Sprx looked at her. She reached out and pulled him into a kiss; he looked embarrassed yet glad when she looked at him again, "thank you…" She lay down onto her bed as he was recovering from shock and fell asleep almost immediately……
Sprx watched her fall asleep; he covered her up with some blankets. He knew that he loved her in everyway and now that she had children…he actually wanted it to show; after all she couldn't' do it all alone…a single mother with two babies…that was a pretty hard job to do. He got up and walked over to his bed, sitting down he lay down on top of his covers and stared at the ceiling wondering about the future…and what was in store….
