The priest's POV;
I sat outside the labour room, feeding on my sister's scream as I had nothing in my stomach but I was too agitated to care about food right now.
Ken(her husband) isn't here yet,he got caught up at work,
"Um! Are you her husb...":the nurse paused after seeing my cassock(a priest's cloth)
"Oh I'm sorry father,I didn't mean to inconvenience you":she said
"Oh it's fine,you were saying something?"
"Oh yes!,the doctor thinks it'll be good if she has her family member around":she said looking around like she was expecting to see someone else
"Alright then! lead the way, she's my sister";I said
"Certainly, Father":she answered with a surprise.
"Arghh!Arghh!",I heard sandra scream as I walked into the labour room.
"Alright breath! Just breath!";the doctor told her
I could barely see the head of the baby,
"Oh father welcome!,pls say a prayer while you're here":the doctor requested and so I did
Two hours later...
A nurse came inside the labour room , where I was with my sister with the newly born child in her hands,
she handed the baby over to my sister who expressed painful grunting but with excitement as she carried the baby in her hands
"Aww, isn't he cute?!";the nurse exclaimed
"He is";my sister giggled,
Then someone else walked in, I really wasn't surprised to see who it was
"Hey dear!,I'm sorry I'm late"; ken said as he kissed Sandra on her head, after that we exchanged pleasantries and finally his eye fell on his son,
"Welcome to the world pal!";he said,while he was carrying the child I noticed something significant on the child's body,I wasn't really sure what I saw but I knew I couldn't ignore it
So I waited till ken was done,
then I let out my hands to carry the child and embrace him,then right in contact I felt a momentary burning sensation thoughout my body,when it stopped I turned to where I saw that mark and sure enough it was significant(.//.it was a mark of fire abd sword.//.)
I quickly put back the child on his mother's arm,on my way to the exit the rest of the family showed up I prayed for all of them but I was rest assured that she had people to look after her.
I quickly got in my car and made my way to the cathedral,I want to meet with the bishop but I could see he had a meeting with other people so i had to wait till he was done, i wanted to wait till the end but my curiosity and the burning sensation in me was way too abrupt,
So I stood at the door where he could see me,but I guess there was no need because he was already rounding up.
"Your Lordship";I greeted
"Oh Father Martin!it's good to see you,how are you?";he asked
"I'm fine your Lordship":I answered hastenly
"I see you're in a rush, anything wrong?";he asked noticing my impatience
"Oh no your Lordship,if anything I'm overjoyed"; I replied
"Oh really?";he replied
"Yes your Lordship,my sister put to birth";I said
"Wow that's great news, shouldn't you be there celebrating with her?";he asked
"Yes indeed I should but I came because I saw something perculiar":I said
"Really and what's that";he asked
"A Mark";I answered
"A Mark?";he asked
"Yes it was that of a fire and a sword";I said
"A fire and a sword!"; he exclaimed
"Yes your Lordship!"I answered looking expectantly
"Rejoice then;Rev.Father Martins, they've been born..."
