chapter 20 The Sun

When Alex and his grandfather heard the cry, the duo almost rushed into the room. But they restrained. During childbirth much things need to be done and their presence would only take space in the room.

They waited patiently until the midwife called them to see the newest addition to the Bart family.

As soon as they got the permission, Alex and his grandfather Michael rushed inside the room.

Alex's electabuzz, Slowking, Claydol, Espeon and Haunter joined them to enter the room. Along with them were his grandfather's Pikachu and sandslash.

His father's magneton as well as his own Pikachu joined them inside. The room had enough space to accommodate everyone inside without making the room suffocated.

When they entered they were surprised to see something. Alex had thought he was going to have a younger brother or sister but it seemed like they had another pair of twins joining the family.

Alex looked at his tired mother who had the twins in her arms while his father looked miserable.

One if the twins was currently crying and his mother was trying to calm that one. She switched between calming and glaring fire at his father. This made Alex feel that his father did something he shouldn't have done.

His grandfather pushed his wheelchair forward to look at the newest addition to his family.

The Pikachu of the two settled itself on their Trainer's shoulders to have a good look at the new descendant.

Gwen looked at the crowd of new arrival and then her eyes fell on the youngest human, her first born, Alex.

She softly called out," Alex, come here. Take a look at your new brother and sister."

Alex saw his new siblings for the first time and he was in daze for a bit. He compared it to the time when he saw Ben and Clara for the first time.

When his mother called him forward, he still stood rigid still lost in his thoughts. The nudge from Espeon was what made to take his step forward.

He took one step at a time and reached his mother's side. His father gripped his shoulder for support. From there, he could easily see the two new borns.

" The one in the blue cloth is your brother, Alan and the one in the pink one is Helen. Look Alex they are looking at you." His father told him soft so as not to startle the kids.

Similar to what his father told him the eyes of the two were fixed on him and both were looking at him curiously.

Alex didn't know what to do and just brought his index fingers near the twins. Their attention shifted to the finger of Alex.

They brought their soft hands and tried to hold the finger and pulled it towards their mouth probably to test whether it was edible or not.

Alex just smiled at their behaviour and let them do whatever they want with his finger. The adults looked at the first interaction of the siblings and smiled at this.

Then Gwen suddenly said to her son,. " Do you want to hold them?"

This time, Arthur grumbled out," You didn't even offer me to touch them and yet you let Alex hold them. It is partiality."

" Even if it is then what can you do." She retorted strongly and dared her husband to oppose her decision.

Alex just nodded and then she first handed over Helen to Alex and instructed him about how he should hold him.

" Since you are holding them for the first time then it would be good if you sit down." Gwen advised.

Hearing this Espeon leviated a chair and set it for Alex to sit upon.

Then she told him,"Now, Sit in a chair with your feet firmly on the ground and place Helen in your lap. Her head should be at your knees, face up.

Then Lift her head up with both of your hands for support and your forearms under their body.  Baby's feet should be tucked in at your waist. "

Alex did as he was instructed and his father was by his side to help him.

Alex held her in her hands and then looked at her innocent and cheerful face. Alex was at peace. All the discomfort he had in his heart was fading away at lightning speed.

And then she did something which helped Alex recover completely. She smiled at her big brother.

At that moment, Alex felt that he would go through any difficulty to protect this smile. He would make sure that this smile never fades away. Alex's will power which was shaky earlier and siffered from self doubt now was solid and nothing could put down the fire that burned in his heart.

Alex's physic Pokemon felt a change in alex. His normally dim presence seemed to be in glow .

Even his father, mother and grandpa felt that Alex had changed and everything was due to Helen. She was the sun whose ray pierced the clouds surrounding his heart and shine light in it.

Alex hasn't felt so light in a long time and for the first time in months, Alex smiled without any worry.

All the resentment sealed in Alex body by mew was completely absorbed increasing all of Alex's physical attributes while also increasing his aura reserve.

Now Alex's aura had increased by almost twice. If one looked at Alex's aura now, they would sense his previously dim aura shining as bright as the sun itself illuminating the entire world.

Far away in the tree of beginning, Mew felt the changes of alex and hence wanted to know the cause of Alex's tremendous change. She decided to complete her task quickly and head back to find the reason.

While Alex had recovered from the shadow in his heart and Helen liked Alex's presence since aura attracts everything pure and nothing is as pure as a newborn child.

Alan at his mother side seemed jealous of his sister and wanted to be held in the arms too. So he started crying.

Gwen tried to calm down her youngest child, Alan but it wasn't working. Then it was Arthur turn and finally Michael but none of it did the trick. Alex who was currently playing with his sister thought of a way.

Currently only the family members were in the room and so he could freely use some of his secrets. He created a small aura sphere and let his brother see it.

Seeing a shiny object, Alam quiet down and tried to approach it. When alan tried to touch it, Alex detonated it in form of Sparks exciting the children. Seeing that Alex calmed the kids, he got his brother sat on his other lap.

His brother and sister both were positioned on his lap with his hands carefully holding their head. Alex was at peace with the kids.

If Alex wasn't seated he may not have been able to hold both of them at the same time. The two Pikachu of Arthur and Michael say on his shoulder to look at the newest addition to the family.

They made funny faces along with Haunter and entertained the kids until they fell asleep. Soon the two fell asleep on.his lap while holding on to his clothes tightly. Alex saw that the look on the children's face and he understood why he worked and trained so hard.

He remembered his two other siblings waiting outside anxiously to meet their younger brother and sister. He wanted to stop all threats and issues for them. Every trouble will have to go through him before reaching them. He said all this in his heart.

He fought to protect the king. he killed to protect the smile of the king.

Alex had found his inner calling and had four suns in his heart which will prevent the fogs of doubt from ever shrouding his heart. Now he is determined and nothing could deviate from his path to the peak of the world.

Finally Alex's siblings are born and Alex also recovered completely. How will Alex next adventure go? The volume 5 comes to an end. Stay tuned.
