Part 20: The Birth

Brooklyn hated feeling stressed, worried about Irene coming up with some other plan to sneak into the castle to find him again and taking him back.

When Sato examined him again, he found that the babies were stressed from all his stress. "Brooklyn, I recommend that you take it easy and try to find things that relax you. I know you're worried about that woman coming after you, but I would stay inside and just rest as much as possible. You still have at least another month to carry them. They are getting to that point but are not ready to be born yet." Sato explained. "You can still walk around gently, but don't do anything to stress yourself out. Due to that one baby having the heart issue, I will issue bed rest if the stress continues."

"I'll do the best I can." Brooklyn replied. "I don't want to be confined to my bed."

"Even if it means just watching tv, I want you to be off your feet as much as possible in these last weeks." Sato decreed.

"Alright." Brook agreed. "Thank you."

Sato went out to talk to Goliath that he needed to make sure that Brooklyn rested due to the one baby having the heart issue. Stress was not good for him. He would need all the support he could get from his clan and even human allies.

Brooklyn was free to do some gentle walking around the castle for short distances, but he wasn't to go outside much at all. If he needed air, he could open the window.

David was also told and he resorted to getting a smaller tv set for Brooklyn's room so he could rest and watch tv in his room instead of walking to the living room. It was the better end of the deal.

Over the next weeks, the clan did what they could to support Brooklyn and the twins. Sato had finally resorted to putting the red male on bed rest just for the safety of the one baby so he wouldn't be so stressed. Gentle walking down the hallway was allowed for two times a night, but no more than twenty minutes at a time.

Bronx was by Brook's side all the time. Brooklyn hated being stuck in bed all the time, but he was willing to do this for the last weeks of his pregnancy. He could also do yoga exercises and breathing in bed too. Fox continued to help him in breathing techniques.

Lex continued to give him massages. Broadway and Angela would bring him his food. Goliath and Hudson would check in on him every night but wouldn't stick around long if they weren't needed. Elisa would also check in on him when she dropped by the castle.

Fox gave Brooklyn a baby name book so he could try to start looking for names for his little ones. He was looking for a strong name for his son. He thought he liked the name Kenzo for it meant strength. "Kenzo is going to be your name, son." Brook rubbed his right side.

The fetus moved in response. It made Brooklyn smile in reply. "You like your new name?" He asked him. There was a push. "I thought so." Brook giggled. "Now to find your sister's name."

He continued to look through the name book but to the girl's name section. Any daughter of his needed a special, beautiful name. He ended up liking the name Juno, with its legend of mythology of a goddess who was behind fertility and childbirth. Well, he was having an exceptional pregnancy, so Juno his daughter became.

He liked plenty of their names, but he also definitely wanted names that were different than the rest of the clan's. To start with different letters.

Soon, the end of the pregnancy loomed, and Brooklyn was so restless and bored of being in bed all the time when he was awake. He still slept standing up in the daytime. His walking times had been reduced to ten minutes. His moods were unpredictable. It just had to do with being bored and uncomfortable. The twins were putting tremendous pressure on his organs and back. His stomach was huge at this point.
