chapter 3
Martha and Lion-o started to prepare things for their baby. "Lion-o I'm worried, what if the baby born as a strange looking creature?" Martha said.
"I don't know, we have to wait and see," Lion-o said.
Many were wondering if the baby would be a beautiful hybrid of Thunderian and human or a strange looking creature that was frightening to look at. It was very overwhelming and they didn't know what to say or think.
Martha and Lion-o were happy about the baby and it is a lot to take in. Lion-o rubbed Martha's back we she was morning sick. Martha spent a lot of time in bed she felt so sick, tired and dizzy she didn't want to get up most of the time. So Lion-o and the other's checked on her. She had a tub that she threw up in and Snarf brought in water for her to drink.
Sometimes Lion-o brought in food if she felt like eating. He let her eat it in bed and he watched her eat. But Martha was showing to be queasy and feeling sick much too often. Pumyra decided to examine her. "Okay everything checks out normal," Pumyra said. "I think it's due to the hybrid nature of the child, your body is try to work harder to get accustomed to this unusual brand new life." she said.
"You think so?" Martha asked.
"I think so, I can see you are healthy, and your blood work checks out fine the last thing I need to check on is the baby," Pumyra said and pulled out the fetal doppler. She placed it on Martha's belly. A little heart beat was heard. "Okay the baby is fine," she said. "So just rest and eat food that is easy on the stomach." she said. "Remember to take your prenatal vitamins." she said.
"I will thanks Pumyra," Martha said.
"Thank you Pumyra, I am glad you are able to help us," Lion-o said.
"It's my pleasure," Pumyra said. "I just hope I can help you have a healthy baby," she said.
The weeks passed and Lion-o and Martha were sleeping in bed. Lion-o was snuggled close to Martha trying to protect her. He was dreaming and it was not a pleasant dream. Martha was killed by Mum-Ra after she gave birth and he killed the baby. Lion-o was in shock standing front of his wife and child's body. The child looked like terrible disfigured freak. "No!" Lion-o screamed waking up.
Martha woke up and saw Lion-o looked scared. "Lion-o are you alright?" Martha asked.
"I'm fine I just had the worst nightmare, Mum-Ra killed you and the baby and the baby was a horrible disfigured freak." Lion-o said.
"Oh Lion-o I'm sure everything will be alright," Martha said then kissed him.
"I sure hope so," Lion-o said. "I love you," he said.
"I love you too," Martha said.
Things were only going to get more complicated.
