Chapter 13: New Additions and Season Greetings
Over the next few weeks' life slowly returned to normal. Tamora and Felix were happy to have their children safely back home. Crystal, Daniel, Morgan, and Rose were happy to be with their family again. Of course Tamora's pregnancy became more and more visible. She hated how her clothes didn't fit and worried about her body getting so fat. "Oh honey you look beautiful," Felix said kissing his wife's cheek.
She blushed and said, "Oh you always say that short stack".
"And I always mean it," he said. Tamora smiled and counted for in two weeks her child would be born. She was growing anxious as was Felix. Rose had just finished the stuffed cats for her brother or sister. Morgan began to design them carts of their own but her mom thought to wait till they were a bit older to drive. Daniel helped make a crib for the baby with his dad secretly wishing it was a boy. Crystal continued training the men and her Pla-Ce bugs. Still counting the days till her mom could take over again. Well within a weeks' time the waiting would be over.
One night Tamora was sound asleep in her husband's arms. Till she felt a pain in her stomach and began to squirm. Then a wetness overcame her as did an increase in pain. "Felix!" she shouted.
"Tammy, what is wrong?" he asked waking up instantly.
"The baby, the baby is coming!" she cried. Felix rushed out of bed awaking the kids and Daniel raced to get Ralph. Crystal who had Specks in his house wake up and with Daniel and Ralph's help they placed Tamora on Speck's back. Crystal climbed on as did Felix.
"I will watch the kids, get Calhoun to the hospital," Ralph said.
"Alright Crystal hurry, to the hospital," Felix told her.
"Right hold on everyone!" Crystal called and they flew to a hospital game. They helped Tamora inside as she moaned and Felix calmed her by helping her breath. The nurses placed Tamora in a wheelchair and escorted her to a room.
"The baby is coming any minute we have to get the doctor now," said the head nurse. Within moments the doctor emerged ready to deliver the baby. Felix and Crystal sat in the waiting room waiting patiently for the baby to arrive.
"I am so nervous please let them be okay, please," Felix prayed.
"Don't worry Dad, Mom is tough her and the baby will be fine," Crystal assured holding his hand. He smiled at her and his nervousness slowly faded. Time ticked by till finally the nurse came out with a huge smile.
"You may see them now," she said. They washed their hands and entered the room. Tamora was on her bed with sweat on her face looking tired but happy.
"Honey," Felix said kissing her lips. Then he noticed no baby was in her arms. Fear took him for he knew what must have happened. Still he held her hand to show her his brave face to shield her from the pain. Before he could speak the nurse held a small blue bundle and handed Crystal a small pink bundle.
"Congratulations Mr. Fix-it you and your wife have twins a boy and a girl," the nurse said placing the boy in his arms. Felix looked down at his son and he had his mother's eyes but his hair and nose.
"Here Mom this is my little sister," Crystal said placing the baby girl in her mother's arms. Tamora began to shed tears when she saw her daughter. She had Felix's eyes but her hair and nose. Seeing her son her heart melted.
"They are perfect," she whispered kissing their heads.
"What should we name them?" Felix asked.
"Alexander and Susan," Tamora said.
"I like those names," Felix said sweetly. "Oh I am going to call Ralph so he and the kids can meet their new siblings," Felix said grinning. He placed Alexander in Crystal's arms and she looked at her brother. He seemed so sweet and innocent. Alexander looked at her and smiled and she smiled back.
"Hello Alexander, my name is Crystal, I am your big sister," she said softly. Alexander laughed and snuggled closer to her.
"Someone likes you want to hold Susan now?" Tamora asked.
"Sure Mom you take Alexander," she said. Susan saw Crystal and smiled even laughed a bit making Crystal's heart melt.
"Hello Susan, I am Crystal your big sister," she told Susan. Susan's smiled grew and she like Alexander snuggled closer to Crystal. Just then Rose poked her head in and smiled when she saw the babies.
"I want to hold them," she said. Since she was smaller she had to sit on a chair. Rose held Alexander while Daniel held Susan. Susan began to try and pull his hair.
"Oh no you don't that is my hair," he giggled. Susan smiled and soon was given to Morgan.
"They are so sweet," she said.
"Wait till you get home little brother and sister. I made two kitties for you and I will make them come alive and you can train them," Morgan said when she held both Susan and Alexander.
"Alright kids time to give your mom and new siblings' time to rest. We will see them in the morning," their dad said. All four kids kissed their mom's forehead and siblings' forehead and went on home. They had two new additions and their family was now complete.
A few months later
"Merry Christmas everyone!" Nightmare called when he entered the Fix-its home. They were all having a big Christmas celebration. Men from Heroes Duty and kids from Sugar Rush came. Tamora was holding little Susan and Felix was holding Alexander. Randy was bouncing Rose on his knee making her laugh. People were talking and opening up gifts. The fire was roaring as everyone was having a good time.
"Well Tammy tell me are you truly happy?" Felix asked her.
Looking at their kids and new babies, their friends, and everyone else Tammy said, "Yes Fix-it, I have never been happier". Then she kissed him. Crystal was with Nightmare watching the happy scene.
"I wanted to say thanks for being there for me and my siblings," she said.
"Of course Crystal I care about you and your family," he said.
"Yeah you do and I want to let you know I care for you too," she said her heart quickening. She noticed she was standing under the mistletoe and with a devilish smirk she kissed his lips. His eyes were wide at first but soon closed as he wrapped his arms and wings around her. Crystal felt so safe and loved and when she released from the kiss she smiled at him. "This is my way of saying I love you," she whispered.
"I love you too Crystal," Nightmare whispered back. Then he wrapped his arm around her and Crystal watched her family enjoying the celebration. Yes, they would have many problems but they would work them out together. For now Crystal's life was for once peaceful and complete. And she was very happy for her family and friends. Her life was simply perfect.
