Chapter 14:
Suspicions Confirmed
The tests confirmed exactly what they both instinctively knew, Albedo was carrying Ben’s child, and Ben was carrying Albedo’s.
“For the record, what is the full name we should put on Mister….um, Albedo’s file, the nurse asked.
Albedo looked at Ben, his super-sharp Galvan mind once again completely useless when faced with such an unexpected set of variables.
Ben, being human, didn’t, and couldn’t plan for every possible outcome and so had to improvise, from time to time.
“For right now let’s just say his name is Albedo Tennyson.”
Albedo looked at ben with new-found respect and fondness, ‘He’s helped me, against the advice of his family, and now he’s giving me his name, I truly have underestimated the depths of his compassion.’
“Are you sure Ben? That seems to be what your culture would consider a ‘big step’.”
“I know that Albedo, it’s just for the hospital’s records though, so it isn’t a big deal, right?”
“If you say so,” was Albedo’s answer, short and to the point.
“Okaay,” the nurse agreed with more than a little skepticism.
No sooner had Ben finished dressing then Max Tennsyon burst into the room accompanied by Gwen, Kevin, and Rook; as well as Carl and Sandra Tennyson.
“Mom, Dad, what’re you guys doing here?”
“Your grandfather called and explained what had happened, your father and I didn’t completely understand it, but we didn’t have to. We knew our boy would need us,” Sandra told him.
Carl added, “Well, Ben your mother and I always looked forward to being grandparents, but we never imagined it would happen this early, and certainly not this way.”
“Yeah, Dad it isn’t exactly the way I planned on becoming a father, either.”
“You must be Albedo,” Sandra said to her sons near twin.
“Y-yes, I am Mrs. Tennyson,” he said nervously, wondering just how much she and her husband knew about his history with Ben.
I must say you really are the spitting image of Ben, except for your eyes and this, giving his silvery white hair a rubbing. Oh, and by the way, you can call me mom.
“Very well, mom. I honestly did not expect you to be so accepting of this ‘situation’ or of me.”
“Whatever else we may think Albedo, the fact remains that you’re carrying our grandchild,” Carl Tennyson told him, “A little unusual, maybe but we’ve learn to expect the unusual since we found out about the Omnitrix and Ben’s role in the larger universe.”
“We know you two have a ‘history’ and that you haven’t always gotten along; but we have a saying ‘it’s water under the bridge;’ so let’s try to put that all behind us.”
“Albedo do you have any family that should know what’s happened? We can ask Ben’s Grandfather to try and get in touch with them,” Sandra helpfully put in.
“No, Mrs., I mean ‘mom’ I have no family to speak of, in fact you could say that Benjamin, and therefore you and your spouse are the closest things I have to family, anymore.”
“Well then welcome to the family, Albedo Tennyson,” Carl beamed, clapping a hand on Albedo’s shoulder.
“Th-thank you, Mr. Ten…; Dad,” Albedo said, with a nervous smile.
Just then the Kinceleran doctor re-entered the room and told them, “I don’t need to keep them here, these two are free to go, but I will need to see them for follow up visits every two weeks until they are ready to deliver. Which should be in about four months’ time for you Albedo, with Ben delivering in six months.”
“Thank you, doctor,” Ben said, and then told his parents, “Mom dad we’ll be in touch, but for now grandpa thinks we should stay at the safe-house.”
Knowing Ben’s parents would insist on take the boys home with them; Albedo added “It is probably for the best, at least until the young ones have arrived.”
With a tearful farewell from Ben’s mother, they headed back to where Albedo had parked Ben’s car and headed back towards their temporary home.
“I am amazed that your parents were so accepting of me, and of us undertaking this…rather unusual enterprise.”
“Yeah, mom and dad are special that way, let’s head for home, it’s a long drive and I’m starving.”
“As you wish, Ben,” Albedo said, but it was said with a slightly mocking tone and a smile.
He looked over at Ben and they both began to laugh.
