Chapter 23
The Second Arrival
Happiness and Jealousy
Just as they got settled into their second new home in as many months, Ben cried out in pain and clutched at his stomach.
"What's wrong?" albedo asked, though he had a fairly good idea of what the problem was.
"Let me guess, we have the newest member of our little 'family' on the way."
"Yeah, I think so."
Albedo got on the com-system and contacted Max Tennyson; who answered expecting it to be Ben.
"Albedo, what's going on, why are you contacting me on this frequency?"
"Magister Tennyson, I believe it is time."
"Time, what do you mean time?"
It quickly dawned on Max Tennyson exactly what Albedo meant by 'it's time', and said,"I'll order a medical team to your quarters immediately."
"Thank you all possible speed would be appreciated."
Within ten minutes Ben was loaded onto a zero-gee gurney and rushed off to the base infirmary, wincing in pain every few steps, and even occasionally stifling a cry of pain. Albedo followed with Azmea in a portable bassinet, even here in what was possibly the most secure location in this part of the galaxy, he didn't feel safe leaving her in the care of anyone else.
Albedo became annoyed when guards stopped him at the entrance to the infirmary, "You may not enter," one of them said.
"Why not," Albedo demanded, "The future of my child is being decided in that room!"
The guard a Vaxasurian, what Ben called Humungosaur replied, "I know who you are and what you've done, Albedo; you poisoned the atmosphere of my colony, making it unlivable. My sister died in the evacuation."
Albedo swallowed nervously as he looked directly into the eyes of the eight-foot tall reptilian towering above him.
"I can only apologize, and place myself at your mercy," Albedo said kneeling, still nervous, but nevertheless unafraid to meet his fate.
"Listen Albedo Galvan," the Appoplexian now joined the conversation, "It's only because of your relationship with Ben-10, and we don't want to punish innocent children for your crimes that my partner and I don't take bets on which of us gets to rip you apart."
"I-I understand," Albedo stammered, for the first time in this encounter he began to feel some fear.
The conversation was cut short by Ben's cry of pain which could be heard even through the thickly armored door.
I will attempt to make amends to you and your peoples, some day, somehow, but for now you must please let me past, I must be in there; Ben needs me, my child needs me.
The Vaxasaurian and the Appoplexian stood their ground a moment longer, then stepped aside and pressed the controls to deactivate the electronic lock allowing Albedo access to the delivery room.
He moved to Ben's side and grasped his hand, the Kinceleran physician had injected his abdomen with a local anesthetic, and the pain was still there but now becoming tolerable.
"A few more minutes and we shall be able to start the procedure," the Kinceleran (X-cel-ar-ate), told them.
"Would you like to learn the gender of the child?"
Ben and Albedo had wanted it to be a surprise with Azmea, and wanted to do the same with Ben's child.
"No thank you, doctor," Ben gasped as another contraction hit him.
The Kinceleran doctor said "It is time, Albedo I must ask you to remain outside from this point until we have completed the procedure.
Albedo couldn't say he was looking forward to waiting outside with those formidable and intimidating guards for what could be the next several hours, but understood the reasons; this area must be made completely sterile and kept that way while the procedure on Ben was taking place.
A number of hours later, Ben was out of recovery and awake, he asked to see Albedo and the new baby.
They were escorted back to Ben's room by Kevin, with Albedo carrying Azmea, and a technician pushing a portable incubator, which contained their newborn son.
"How do you feel," Albedo asked Ben; who groggily replied, "Like I've just had a C-section, how do you think?!"
"Yes I'm sorry Ben, I meant it rhetorically; remember it was only two months ago that I had the same experience."
"I know Albedo, I'm sorry; it's just that I'm really out of it right now, in kind of a bad mood, and in a lot of pain; despite the fact that they've got me pumped full of painkillers."
I've brought something, or should I say someone who may make you feel better.
Albedo gestured for the technician to bring the incubator close to the bed. "Ben may I present your new son, Azmea this is your brother," he told the infant he was holding, she was, of course too young to understand anything he was saying, yet.
"Have you decided on a name, Ben?" Albedo asked him.
"Yeah but I wanted to pass it by you and grandpa first, before we make official."
"Well what is it," Albedo asked becoming impatient;
"Max Tennyson the Second, I also like Kenny Tennyson what do you think?"
"Who is this Kenny Tennyson," Albedo asked knowing that Ben wanted to name the child after a member of his family.
"He's my cousin, and Gwen's brother."
"I think that shall be a fine name, that settles it, Kenny and Azmea Tennyson shall be the names of our children."
"Do you mean that Albedo?"
"Yes Ben, I do."
If Ben could've risen from his bed to hug Albedo he would've; outside at the door, Max, Gwen and Kevin had overheard the conversation. Max and Gwen smiled with happiness and pride. Kevin had mixed emotions, on the one hand he felt slightly jealous of Albedo, that he was able to have this kind of relationship with Ben. On the other hand he was extremely happy for his best friend and surrogate brother; it could get confusing sometimes.
It would take Kevin some time to sort it all out
