211 chapter 20 The Sun (1/2)
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.
