Chapter 5: A Revealation

Taker and Beth had been working hard for the last month, planning for their wedding and for the arrival of their baby. It was now May 7th, 1993. They had learned that they would be having a baby girl and had already picked out a name. The little girl would be named Angel Marie Calaway. Not only that, but they were expecting their Goddaughter to come along any day now and they couldn't wait. Beth was putting baby clothes in the dresser when the phone rang. She heard Mark answer. He talked for a bit and then hung up. He came upstairs a few minutes later with a smile on his face.

"Diana had her baby this morning. Kristine Lesley Hart-Smith was born at twenty five minutes after six this morning and weighs four pounds, three ounces. Perfectly healthy." Mark said.

"That's great! How are Diana and Davey doing?" Beth asked.

"Davey is jumping for joy. He told me that despite the fact that they were up early and he's been on the phone all day, he's extremely happy. Diana on the other hand...not so much. Their other two kids, Harry and Georgia have mixed feelings too. Harry's like Davey...over the moon excited. Georgia is...well, I think she's jealous quite frankly, but she's not happy." Mark said.

Beth nodded. She asked when they could fly to Calgary to meet their Goddaughter. Mark laughed and said that Diana, Davey, and Baby Kristine were going to be at their wedding. Then she asked if Bret and Owen were coming too and he replied that they were and that they would be bringing their families too.

"That's great! Look, Mark...I know Kristal is...well...not nice, but she's still my mother. I want to invite her if its alright." Beth said.

"OK. And that's fine, but if she causes any sort of problems, she'll be in trouble." Mark said.

Beth agreed. Then she gave Mark a hug and a kiss and left the house. She was going to go shopping for her wedding dress and shoes and some things for baby Angel and something for baby Kristine. She drove to Downtown Houston and went to the Galleria Mall. She walked around for awhile and finally found David's Bridal. She went in and talked to the sale's lady for a few minutes. The woman was nice enough to point her in the right direction. She looked around for awhile to try and find something.

It was awhile before she found a black and white strapless dress with a black ribbon around it. She tried it on and was pleased to see that it fit perfectly. She stared at herself in the mirror in shock. Even with no makeup on and her hair not done up, she looked pretty. Bethany quickly changed back into her clothes and then went looking for a nice veil to go with it. She quickly found a white veil that was trimmed in black and purple.

She paid for the dress and the veil, but decided to leave the dress there in case it needed to be altered due to her being pregnant. After she was done there, she went to the nearby shoe store and bought black, open toed high heeled shoes. After that, she headed to Baby Gap. She wanted to get a present for Kristine and some more clothes for her. She spent about an hour in the store and when she came out, she had about four bags of baby clothes. She had bought sleepers, dresses and onesies for Angel. She had also bought a pretty purple dress with purple shoes and a matching headband for baby Kristine.

She got in the car and started the drive home, wondering if Mark had made any progress on Baby Angel's room. He had said he would clean out the last of the mess and set up her crib, so she wondered if he had managed to do it in the time she had been gone. When she finally got home, she parked the car in the driveway and got out. She got her bags from the trunk and went inside. She headed into the house and as she turned the corner into the kitchen, she saw it. Mark was passed out on the floor. She screamed and dropped her bags, running over to him and kneeling down.

"MARK!" she shouted.

She shook him. He opened his eyes and looked around. He looked disoriented and confused, but Beth was relieved to see that he wasn't injured. He tried to sit up, but couldn't manage it. His eyes started to close again.

"Mark! Are you alright?! Are you hurt?!" she asked, starting him awake.

"Bethy...I..." Mark said.

"Are you alright?! Can you get up?!" Beth asked, feeling panicked.

"Beth...it's alright..." a voice said.

"Who said that?" Beth asked.

She looked around. She was surprised to see a little ball of light in the room. The light changed and suddenly a woman appeared in front of her. She was beautiful and Beth could have sworn she had seen her somewhere before. It was a minute before she realized that she looked just like Mark aside from being female and obviously quite a bit older. She seemed slightly ghostly, but she wasn't quite transparent.

"Who...or what...are you?" Beth asked, trying not to be too rude.

"Ah. You can see me. That makes things simpler. I'm the spirit of Mark's Mother. My name is Leanna Calaway." the woman said with a warm smile.

"But...what are you doing here?" Beth asked.

"My son needs help. You need to listen closely to what I'm about to tell you alright?" Leanna said.

"Alright. I'm all ears." Beth said.

"This may be very hard for you to believe, Bethany, but Mark has Supernatural Powers of sorts. He's kept them hidden from you for too long. It's caused a power build up and explosion which has in turn left him in a weakened state." Leanna said.

"But...I...what am I supposed to do to help him?" Beth asked, trying to process what she had just been told.

"Let me explain a bit. Mark is what is known as a warrior. If need be, he can fight using his powers. Each warrior has a Guardian, who has abilities. They can heal and give energy...that sort of thing. You need to look inside yourself and unlock your powers. Mark needs your help." Leanna said.

"But...if these powers are inside me...how am I supposed to find them?" Beth asked.

"You need to concentrate. Close your eyes and look inside yourself. You'll find the powers and the strength to help Mark." Leanna said.

Beth nodded. She closed her eyes. She was finding this all so hard to believe, but at the same time, she had no idea why else Mark's mother would come to her when she needed help. She was also sure that there was no way that his mother would lie about something so serious. Then she turned her thoughts to helping Mark. When she opened her eyes again, she was stunned by what she saw. Some sort of white light had gathered in her hands.

"What the...?" she asked.

"It's healing light, Bethany. Touch his arm. Don't worry. It won't hurt him." Leanna said.

Beth looked at Leanna for a minute. Somehow she knew that the older woman was telling the truth. She reached out and touched Mark's arm. The light surrounded him. A few minutes later, it faded away and Mark sat up. He looked exhausted. Beth helped him get to his feet and then walked him to the bedroom. He sighed before laying down in bed. Leanna followed, looking at her son and his wife worriedly. She was worried that Beth was going to leave him.

"Mark? What was that? And...why didn't you say anything about your powers?" Beth asked.

"Because...it scares most people, so I kept them hidden. I went too long without using them and it caused something of a build up. I'm just glad you were out when they exploded. Both you and our Baby Girl would have been hurt." Mark whispered, drifting off again.

"Mark!" Beth said.

"Just let him rest, Bethany." Leanna asked.

"What's going to happen to our Angel Baby?" Beth asked in fear.

"She'll have powers. It will most likely be the powers of the warrior and maybe some of the protective powers that Guardians use. You're not going to know for sure until after she's born." Leanna said.

Beth nodded. She didn't feel scared now, just worried. She was worried about Mark and how this would affect Baby Angel when she came along. Leanna seemed to read her mind. She looked at Bethany with a warm smile.

"Don't worry about Mark. He'll be OK as long as he rests. Although, I should warn you that Mark has never really been one to rest, so that may be difficult." Leanna said.

Beth sighed as she looked at Mark, but she nodded anyway. She couldn't help but think that this was going to be a long few days.
