Part 21

Dr. Sato got into the infant's chest cavity, and he was able close the hole in his heart with not much issue. He had done these surgeries on babies before but rarely. A young gargoyle was an exception but not that much different, being a mammalian heart.

Pretty soon, it was time for him to wake up and see his father for the first time, or second time. Kenzo was a little browner than Juno was. (Like Brook's bro.) His horns were like Brook's too. He had a patch of white hair on his head.

One of the surgeons went out to the waiting area to tell the clan that the surgeries for both Brooklyn and Kenzo were successful. The clan was so happy. They couldn't wait to meet the new babies.

Kenzo was soon taken to Brooklyn to see. He was still groggy from the anesthesia used on him, but he had made it. He was waking up. He was soon placed in his father's arms.

"Oh, I kept wondering how you were doing, little guy." Brooklyn smiled wide with seeing his son. "Now I have my two little angels with me."

"Yes, you do." Sato smiled too.

"Thank you so much for saving Kenzo." Brook thanked the doctor.

"It was my pleasure, Brooklyn. I'm glad I was able to help you and them." Sato stated.

The doc left Brooklyn alone to bond with his twins. He went out to talk to the clan.

"So, how are Brooklyn and the babies, Dr. Sato?" Elisa asked.

"Brooklyn seems to be doing just fine. He's really happy to finally have them both in his arms. His daughter looks more like him. His son is browner really but looks like his dad too." Sato explained. "I got the hole in his heart closed, so now all should be good for the little boy."

"Can we see them?" Lex asked.

"Alright but keep it quiet. Brooklyn still needs some rest after a brief hello. They all need their rest for tonight. It's been a big life changing night." Sato declared.

"It's life changing for us too." Goliath agreed. "Yes, let us go greet our new clan members." He urged the clan.

The clan was allowed back to the infirmary to see Brooklyn proudly and happily holding his two kids in his arms. He never wanted to let them go. There were two bassinets close to the bed when he was ready to put them in their beds for some rest.

Brooklyn couldn't feel any pain from having medication from his iv, but he still couldn't feel his legs and lower body anyway. But the epidural would be coming out before morning anyway.

His stomach was still looking overly large, but it was softer now. A huge weight had been released out of his belly after nearly ten months of pregnancy. It would take some time to lose this baby fat. But as active as Brooklyn usually would be, he would lose it probably within a few months. At least the twins would be cared for outside his belly now.

There was a knock on his door, and he looked up. "Yeah."

Lex poked his head in. "Feel up for some visitors?"

"Sure. Come on in." Brooklyn replied happily.

Lex then opened the door and the clan quietly filed in. They were in awe of Brooklyn's two new babies in his arms. This was a sight the clan didn't know they'd ever see again, or not for a long time. To see babies in their clan again.

"So, what are their names, bro?" Broadway asked curiously.

"I named them Kenzo, my son, and Juno, my daughter." Brooklyn declared.

"Those sound like good names, Brooklyn." Hudson agreed.

"I was looking for strong names in the baby book that Fox loaned to me." Brook explained. "Kenzo meant strength. He needed a strong name. And Juno was affiliated with childbirth in mythology."
