CHAPTER 4: BLESSED WITH AN ANGEL

MAN'S WORLD:

STEVE TREVOR:

ON HIS WAY TO COAST CITY:

Everything in the journey is so far nice and good. There was no problem in the jet. It was back to its original state, perfect and peaceful just like the sleeping child next to him. He silently wondered how the hell he had gotten into a situation like this. But whatever the reason that led him into this mission was definitely fruitful as it changed his dream into a reality. Never in a thousand lifetimes had he expected that he would become a father to an orphan. No, not orphan, not now, not anymore. She's gotten me, Etta, Mark (Mark Robinson) and many others who would gladly accept her into the family.

But along with it, there would be a bunch of mind-boggling problems and questions arising due to the situation. Mainly, how Etta would react by seeing the baby? Would she even accept the idea of raising her as a foster daughter? Would the baby even be able to get along with the family? If she did, how should we introduce her to our extended family and friends? They would definitely question us if we showed up for a visit with a baby in our arms.

Moreover, he can't just shout out to everyone in sight that he found her on a mysterious island strangely inhabited by only female population. That probably, would only help to raise many more questions than answers. Another important mystery was that the female populated island was definitely not spotted in the radar which only served to spike his doubts more. He had to find out what that strange island is and who is the reason for the destruction of that ancient place?

'Wait, ANCIENT?' His unexpected thought suddenly helped to solve a little of the mystery game in which he was a reluctant player. Some of the pieces of the puzzle were now placed in the correct order which helped him to answer his own questions and dilemmas. He silently started to analyze his problem. Clearly the place must be an ancient one as the weapons used by them were completely outdated; which also mean some sort of ancient technology might have helped the island to not be detected by the modern technology.

He also remembered that some weird looking creatures were on that island. May be those creatures were responsible for the death of that island. One of the strangest things was that the island was completely populated with females clad in Greek armor for the sake of war which finally led him to conclude that he just crashed onto an ancient Greek island populated by all female warriors. Great. He definitely didn't know whether he had gone mad or not after that crash. May be enjoying a nice long shower with his wife would definitely clear up his mind. Yup it definitely would, no doubt about it.

He decided that his mind must be peaceful and calm if he really wanted to go through with this.
He slowly brushed his conflicted thoughts away from his mind as he finally reached his destination, a military branch in coast city, where fighter jets, arms and deadly military weapons are manufactured and tested to know their efficiency practically. As the relations between U.S and Japan were really unstable, they were forced to take a detour towards North Atlantic Ocean instead of North Pacific Ocean where Japan lies.

As he neared towards his intended destination, he switched to auto-pilot, turned towards the child, carefully loosened the seat belt around her and adjusted her in the bag in such a way that the bag acts as a cover for her and only her head was visible from the outside. By then, he was already near the landing point. He switched to self-pilot mode and swiftly landed on the landing pad. On seeing his boss, Mark Robinson running towards him, he unlocked his seat belt and came out to greet him…

"Goddammit Trevor, where the fuck have you been and what took you so long?" his boss shouted at him as if he was deaf.

"Well, it is a very long and very interesting story" he replied with a tired sigh.

"I don't care as long as you tell me the truth, now" his boss clearly emphasized the word 'now' which left him with no choice but to tell him the truth or in a better way to show him the truth. So, he returned to the cockpit to pick her up. But to his surprise, she was already awake. He picked up the child who was looking at him curiously with an innocent smile playing on her lips, carried her around the jet and showed her to Mark.

"What the…?" he exclaimed in a surprised tone with his eyes bugged out of their sockets as his eyes fell on her. It was completely comical and out of place for a man who was so strict to react like that!

"Who is she, Trevor?" he silently asked still staring at the baby who was currently gurgling while looking at him. Steve silently walked up to some distance and motioned him to come along, clearly letting him know that it was kind of a matter that must be discussed in a private place. So, they both made their way into the main office in the military branch where all the surveillance monitors were placed to check on the progress and anomalies in every sector. Steve and Mark then took their seats in the office room.

"Dude, I asked you a question. Are you even listening to me?" Mark pointed out in an exasperated tone.

"Yeah I am listening" Steve replied with a sigh.

"Then answer me dammit!"

"I don't know where to even start, man. Moreover, I am really not so sure that you will believe me" Steve, then replied in a tone that clearly indicated his state of confusion.

"Trevor, I am not only your senior but also your best friend. A person you can trust and confide in. I am simply asking you, who is she? And how did she end up being with you anyway?" he spoke in an earnest voice but all he met was with silence from the person in front of him.

"Well, how about you tell me what happened from start to finish after the communication system has failed?" Mark tried again with a different approach which granted him his success as he told him everything about what happened there after. He listened to each and every word that came out of his friend's mouth. The explanation of his little adventure took him about a half an hour to end. When it came to an end, he sincerely thought his longtime friend and ally has finally gotten mad but he couldn't blame him though, he had seen many things in his life; things that were not normal in day to day life; things that normal people would never believe in.

After a few moments of silence,

"So, what are your thoughts? Thinking I am crazy" Steve replied after taking a deep breath of air.

"No. Not at all. I have seen many things in life, Trevor. So, I do believe you" Mark replied in an understanding voice.

"Finally, I have proof that I am really not so crazy" he said under his breath as Mark bellowed in laughter.

"Come on Trevor. Let's go. We have to go to metropolis anyway. Our wives would go ballistic if we are anymore late than now. Especially you since you are carrying a baby in your arms." he said pointing towards the child in his arms.

"AH… You are right! Let's go."

Then, they both made their way out of the military branch after checking out whether all the systems and security functions were proper or not. They reached the airport via cab and boarded on to the plane which takes them to metropolis. During the flight, both of them were silent as their own thoughts immersed themselves into their own life-problems.

Finally, they reached Metropolis; bid farewell to each other and returned to their homes via their own vehicles.

TREVOR'S RESIDENCE:

METROPOLIS SUBURBAN AREA:

STEVE TREVOR AND ETTA CANDY-TREVOR:

Metropolis suburban area was a very quiet and a peaceful place away from the city. It was an ideal place for anyone since the crime would almost be nil.

Steve reached his house quickly than he thought he could. He quietly parked his car in the garage next to his house. He silently pondered on how Etta would react about it and how the arrival of a baby into the household would complicate the things between them. But no matter what he was sure Etta would accept the baby, after he told her the truth about the child's family.

Finally, with a strong resolve, he stepped out of the garage along with the gurgling child in his arms. He was relieved that she wasn't crying as if the world is going to end like she did previously during the whole journey.

He made his way to the porch; turned towards the front door and ringed the bell a few times. The door was opened by Etta who was clad in a simple blue night gown and a ready smile on her face. As soon as her eyes fell on the child in his arms, her loving smile morphed into a surprised gasp just as he expected.

"Steve…, who is she?" she asked in a silent yet concerned voice after she ushered him in. He silently took a seat on the couch and asked her to sit as well.

After a few moments of silence, he started explaining every single moment of his mysterious journey to her. She listened to each and every word that came out of her husband's mouth. He took two hours to explain everything including his thoughts and dilemmas. He finally stopped his talking or explaining in this case with, "I am thinking that it would be best if we adopt her since we can't have children" which she already expected from him and agreed with him.

"Of course, we will adopt her. Where else would she go anyway? An orphanage? No way in hell. We will adopt her" she replied in a very determined tone which brought a smile to his face.

They smiled lovingly at each other as they slowly inched their heads forward for a kiss. Just as their lips were about to touch, they heard a loud wail from the baby who was in Steve's lap. On hearing a loud groan from her husband, Etta laughed with the irony of it since all the couples would go through the same trails as this one and that she had already became a part of their little family.

Etta took the wailing child in her arms and went to the kitchen to feed her some fresh milk as her husband headed for a much needed bath. Etta rocked the child to and fro in her arms silently singing a lullaby. She was completely lost in her own little world until she felt familiar arms of her husband snaking around her waist and holding her lovingly.

"Your voice is beautiful" her husband remarked while placing a kiss to her neck.

"Why Mr. Trevor, thank you so very much for your compliment" she replied in a teasing voice. While they were enjoying their sweet moment, it suddenly clicked to their minds that they didn't even name their child.

"Steve, we didn't even select a name for her." Etta reminded her husband.

"Ah… Yes. Well, how about…hmm… Leticia?" he suggested in a doubtful voice.

"NO. How about…..Sarah? It is a nice name, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is nice. But I think it doesn't suit her very well. Ha… I got a perfect one for her. How about Diana? It's wonderful, isn't it? It suits her perfectly. Moreover, my mother's name is Diana." Steve said in a very hopeful and excited voice.

"Hmm… Diana" Etta tested the name by saying it aloud. She found the name to be perfect just as the baby was like.

"PERFECT! Well how about a middle name?" Etta questioned her husband.

"Well, how about you pick it up?" he offered her a chance to name the child too.

"Um…. Rosalie?" she suggested in an innocent voice.

"Hmm… Diana Rosalie Trevor, daughter of Steve Trevor and Etta Candy-Trevor" he said in a very proud voice with a brilliant smile playing on his face as Etta felt very glad that he accepted her choice and gave him her own proud smile.

"Welcome to the family, my little angel" Steve whispered in a loving voice as he pressed a soft kiss to his child's forehead. And so, he and his wife were finally blessed with an angel.
