Chapter 18
“Miracles”
Three hours later, Ben had fallen asleep and was softly snoring. He slept fitfully, frequently whimpering when a bad dream struck him. Sandra, Carl and Max stayed with him the whole time; Frank and Natalie had gone home for the evening, and Gwen, Kevin and Rook came and went, checking in with Max for every hour that they couldn’t be here.
Ben groggily came around from his restless nap in a spare room in the small hospital when someone gently shook him. “Ben, Ben are you awake?” Max Tennyson’s soft voice filtered through the sleep induced haze. “Hmm?”
“Oh yeah grandpa, I’m awake, is there any news,” he asked suddenly wide awake.
“Well, Ben,” Max said with a shaky voice, “There’s good news and bad news.”
“You’ve got a new daughter, but Albedo didn’t survive the procedure.”
“Oh no, I’ve got to see him, I need to see both of them.”
“Now Ben try not get yourself worked up,” Max cautioned him.
“No, Grandpa, I have to see them!” Ben snapped, angrily. Ben rarely lost his temper, and never raised his voice to his grandfather.
“Alright Ben, but please try to stay calm.”
Ben walked into the room where Albedo’s form was just barely visible in the dim light, lying very still. In a small incubator beside the bed a small form was squirming. Ben walked over to the bassinet and looked down at his newborn daughter.
With tear fill eyes Ben reached in and grasped the tiny hand of the 3-pound girl, and wished that he could pick her up then together they would walk over to the bed where Albedo was lying. His face was peaceful, more so than Ben had ever seen it. When Ben had first met Albedo, three years ago; this face had an almost constant expression which was a strange combination of anger, arrogant smugness, and fearful paranoia. Now it looked as if he were sleeping and having a very pleasant dream.
Ben didn’t know any Galvan prayers, or even if they prayed at all; so he quietly said a prayer that so many children on this world learned early in their lives: “Now we lay him down to sleep, and we pray the Lord his soul to keep. If he dies before he wakes, we pray the Lord his soul will take.” Ben felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned to see Gwen standing there with tears streaming down her cheeks. “That was beautiful Ben, and so is she,” as she peered into the incubator Ben wasn’t surprised by her reaction to the tender moment; what was surprising was Kevin. He was standing in the dim light away from the bed trying to make himself invisible as he dabbed at his eyes and blew his nose with a handkerchief.
“Kev,” Ben asked, “you okay?”
“Yeah Ben, just allergies, that’s all, there’s somethin’ about hospitals always does this to me.”
“Of course I’m sure that must be all it is; thanks anyway buddy.”
“No problem, bro.”
The tender moment between this small family which nine years ago when the Tennysons first met Kevin, would have been completely out of the question; was interrupted by an unexpected but very welcome beeping sound. The heartbeat and respiration monitors where still hooked up to Albedo, and they were coming back to life.
And that had to mean that he was still alive!
“Gwen, see if you can pick up anything from his mind, Kevin get grandpa, Azmuth, and the doctors.”
“I think there may have been more than one miracle today!”
