Chapter 13: The Heir
Alex: Morning my beautiful two favorite people in the simverse.
Candy: Morning my love.
Alex: Hmm, you feel wonderful! I'm going to grab a quick shower.
Candy: Oo! Watcher the baby is kicking big time!
That's a good thing, right. Maybe he'll be born today.Candy: Maybe, I hope so to be honest.
Morning Art, whatcha looking at?Art: Morning watcher. A death flower grafting.
Wooo! Yes! Well done Art, that's fantastic news.Art: It seems very slow growing though.
That's ok, we have plenty of time. Alex isn't even an adult yet so no hurry at all. Thanks for your work Art, you really are fantastic.Art: *Blush* You're welcome watcher, it's been a pleasure. Have you told Alex about the dynasty yet?
Errr, no. I thought I'd wait until the nooboo was born. I think it will sink in a lot better then.Art: Hmm, maybe. I wouldn't leave it too much longer though if I was you.
I'm hearing ya.
Alex: Wow! I can see the little one kicking! That's incredible.
Candy: lol, I know although I could do with a little less of the footwork!
Alex: You know this is going to be so great! I can't wait to be a daddy. You're going to be the best mother in the entire simverse Candy. I know it!
Alex: Come sit down for a minute, love.
Candy: K, I'm so restless, it's hard to settle.
Well, no sign of in-coming stalk yet. I might go see what everyone else is doing...Alex: You mean 'stork' watcher.
That's what I said. Did you know that in Norse mythology, the stork represented family values and commitment to one another?Candy: That's lovely watcher.
How you doing Dee? Oh! Are you not feeling very well?Dee: I think it was something I ate.
Eww, that's rough. Want some medicine?Dee: No, it'll pass. I'll stay away from Candy though just in case it's contagious.
Good thinking, well yell out if you need anything Dee.
Yuki: I'm so excited sis! I can't wait to be an auntie.
Candy: I just wish bubs would hurry up, today is dragging.
Yuki: Lol, always so impatient!
Candy: I know, I know. I'm going to go paint something to take my mind off all this waiting.
Everything ok?Candy: Yeah fine thanks. I'm not really feeling this painting though. It's not very inspiring.
Hmm, well I have to admit it's not one of my favorites.
Candy: OOOooo watcher....oooo.... it's time!
*Gasp* Right, I'll go get Alex and we're off to the hospital.Candy: Hurry..ooo..OOoo watcher!
Hurrying!
Candy: *sigh*
Alex: What do we do?
*sigh* I'll deal with him you go and talk to the receptionist. I phoned ahead so it's all systems go.
Receptionist: Go right on through Mrs Rastelli, we've been expecting you.
Candy: Oh good grief, this has to be the longest corridor ever! How's Alex?
He's doing fine, lol. You just concentrate on you hun.
Candy: I'm nervous.
You'll be fine, seriously. Just lie down and let the doctor do her thing.
Dr. Moira Fyres: Hello Candy dear. How exciting, my first delivery.
Oh! I didn't know you were a doctor Moira.Dr. Moira Fyres: Oh I'm not. Well, I mean I am now. I just started today.
And you're delivering babies on your first day?Dr. Moira Fyres: What could go wrong?
Dr. Moira Fyres: Oh, opps. Everything's a bit tangled.
Alex: Oh my plumbob. Do something watcher.
Candy: Oh watcher, I'm so scared! Help!
It'll be fine babe... take a deep breath, and another... that's it. Good girl...
Dr. Moira Fyres: Oh rats! I give up. This is much harder than I expected.
Alex: *coldly ferocious* If you do not take care of my wife and deliver a perfectly healthy baby and unharmed wife, your life will not be worth living.
Keep breathing Candy babe, in and out... that's it...
Gasp!Alex: Gasp!
Candy: ___________
Moira! DO SOMETHING!Dr. Moira Fyres: OK, I got this... I've got this...
Dr. Moira Fyres: There we go, a beautiful healthy, perfect little nooboo.
Candy: Oh nooboo.
*Huge sigh of relief*
Candy: Oh nooboo! You are perfect!
