Chapter 370
From the writer’s desk.
It has been two years since Tempest lost her legs, and one year since she gained her prosthetics.
The sound of a baby crying had the waiting room cheering. It had been a long night for most, and
the cries and cheers woke those who had found sleep.
Tempest’s tears of joy rolled down her cheeks as a baby boy was placed on her stomach after an
all–night labour. Storm had been there for her all night long; his tired face beamed proudly at his
son, but the birth gave them a boost of energy.
“Would you like to cut the cord?” The doctor handed Storm something that looked like scissors, and he cut the cord before the nurse took off with the baby to be measured and weighed.
“You did great, sweetheart,” Storm said to his tired wife and kissed her as they worked on getting out the afterbirth and cleaned Tempest up before moving her to her room and the waiting family. Storm went out to announce the birth to the waiting crowd. Tempst chose not to know the child’s gender, wanting the birth to be a surprise.
“It’s a boy,” Storm shouted out, and the cheers and congratulations around the private waiting
room.
“Who won the pool?” There had been a betting pool; it covered the date, time, and gender. All those who picked a girl were out of the running, and it was down to Storm, Sprocket or Doom.
“Storm won.”
“Rigged, Rigged.” Came the shouts from the losers, good–naturedly.
Tempest had been using the wheelchair for the last two months, as she gained weight, worried she would topple over, and harm the baby. The wheelchair, at least, made her feel safer. She kept wearing her prosthetics, but didn’t walk around that much. Fingers had Tempest doing exercises to keep her fit and her muscles working. Fingers had been worried all their pre–baby work would go to waste if Tempest didn’t get on the bike or other machines to keep her leg muscles strong. Now that the baby is here, she can get back to walking. Which Tempest were you looking forward to doing? Also, some swimming. Fingers had made her some flippers, which helped Tempest to glide through the water quickly. It had taken her a while to get the hang of swimming with them, but now
she loves them.
Tank and Fixer had lived with Tempest for the last two weeks, helping her cope with moving about; it had been difficult to get in and out of the wheelchair, with her growing belly. Both grandparents looked proudly down at their first grandchild as he suckled on his mother’s breast. A warm smile on their faces, the first of many they hoped for.

The many families had come a long way in the past two years.

Tank and Fixer’s son, Razor, was at university and part of the national ice hockey team. He was chosen in high school and had been training with the teams on school holidays; now he was old enough to play in the big leagues. Razor has a large female following, never shy about taking one to his bed. Not much the father can say, other than keep it shielded, because he, too, had a large female following, but Razor was far more active than Tank was at his age. Tank’s choices of club girls had him less interested until his wife came into the picture. Mind you, he had found Fixer about then, so no, he wasn’t active like his some. But his mates were. Saying something about his activities would be hypocritical, and he was not about to be that.
Penny was interested in prosthetics and wanted to become a prosthetic technician who helps people like Tempest. Penny was showing great promise in the field; that girl was smarter than any of them realised, since she had always been the bubbly girl who hid the brain behind it, and it wasn’t till she finished high school a year early that anyone noticed how bright she really was. They knew she had some brains and never guessed the direction she decided to take. Though dress designing or something like that, as she made so many outfits over the years, a prosthetic technician came as a shock, but it makes Tank and Fixer proud.
