A Legacy Begins

The Pendragon Legacy

A Legacy Begins

Kami: OMG!  I used Galen’s DNA by mistake!  He’s not going to be happy about this.

Kami: But my experiment worked!  I created life!

Kami: Cripes, where am I going to put you little man?  Better call Nursery’s R Us for an emergency installation.

Nursery’s R Us arrived and quickly converted the downstairs bedroom.

Kami: There you go little man.  Best I go wait for your daddy to come home and face the music.

Galen arrived home as Kami was heading out to feed the chickens.

Kami: Hi Honey!  How was work you must be exhausted?  Can I get you anything?  Coffee?  A nice meal?

Galen: What’s going on?  You are up to something, I can tell.

Kami: Ok.  Just don’t get too mad with me, promise?

Galen:  Just tell me, it can’t be that bad.

Kami:  So.  You know I’ve been experimenting with fish DNA.  Well today I was trying to clone the koi DNA again and, well, something went wrong.

Galen: You created a radioactive mutant killer koi?

Kami: Urm no.  Worse.

Galen: How can it be worse than a radioactive mutant killer koi!

Kami: I got the DNA samples mixed up and…

Galen: You didn’t do what I think you did?

Kami: Urm.  Congratulations you’re a daddy?

Galen: Where is it?

Kami: HE is in the spare room.  You aren’t too mad at me are you?

Galen: Just don’t talk right now Kami.

As Galen headed to the new nursery Kami went to feed the chickens.

Kami: Oh baby chick, what if he is so mad he never wants to see me again!  I couldn’t bear it if he left me!  What am I to do?

Tears fell softly down Kami’s cheeks as she cuddled the little yellow chick.

Galen stood over the new cot watching as his clone slept.  The anger he had first felt melted away as he watched the sleeping child.  He knew Kami would not have purposely used his DNA.  Fate had mixed up the samples and given them a gift, and that gift should be cherished.

Galen: Welcome to the family little man.

Galen washed up and got changed out of his work clothes.  As he made his way downstairs he heard the child stirring.  Kami had still not returned from feeding the chickens and Galen began to worry.

Galen fed and bathed the child making sure he was clean and happy.

Galen: Best I go find your mummy little man.  I think she might be hiding.

After settling his new son into the crib Galen headed out to find Kami sobbing by the chicken hut.

Galen: Come inside love, you’ll catch your death.

Kami: I’m sorry Galen, please don’t leave me.

Galen: Leave you?  Now why would I do that?  Please, come inside.

Galen held out his hand to Kami and lead her back into the house.

Kami: I have no words Galen.  Really I didn’t mean to do it.

Galen: I know, and I’m not mad.  You gave me a great gift when you became my wife and now you have given me another.  We are blessed Kami.

Kami: Oh Galen, thank you!  I love you!

Galen: And I you witchy.

Galen: So.  Has my little clone got a name?

Kami: Oh, I hadn’t thought.  I was just so worried about what you might say.

Galen: Then I would like to call him Julian.  If you like it of course?

Kami: It’s perfect.

Kami:  And you’re really not mad?

Galen: Let me show you just how not mad I am!

Kami: *giggles*

As Kami relaxed in a nice hot bath she heard Julian start crying.  She was just about to get out when she heard Galen shout.

Galen:  Don’t worry babe, I’ll go.

Kami smiled to herself and leaned back into the warm water.

Galen: Hey Julian.  How is my handsome little man today?

Galen was thoroughly enjoying his new Daddy duties and was keen to tend to Julian’s needs as often as possible.

Although he still made time for his beloved pets.

He also enjoyed helping Bonehilda out with the laundry.

Well, until the static incident that is!

Bonehilda’s presence has become even more invaluable with the arrival of Julian.  It allowed both Kami and Galen to continue their careers without having to worry about his care.

Kami was spending a lot of time in the garden.  Despite the plants being dormant over winter, Kami still liked to go out and check them to make sure that they were not withering.

Galen worried about how much time Kami was spending outside in such cold weather.  She had been suffering lately with some kind of flu.  She was off her food, tired all the time.

And when she did manage to eat she just couldn’t keep it down.

Kami brushed off his worries and still kept on working.  Julian was loved as much as if he were born to Kami and Galen and when his birthday arrived they were both very excited.

There had been cake and candles and a very handsome toddler had spun into existence.  Kami’s parents had sent Julian a special doll to keep him company and wished they could visit soon and meet their new grandchild.  Despite Kami’s worries over the toy she saw how much Julian loved it and couldn’t bring herself to part him from it.

Kami: You are my special gift Julian.  Mummy is so proud of her big boy.

Kami swung Julian high up in the air and was greeted by fits of giggles from her son.

Kami’s flu seemed to have passed and she was back out in the garden again.  This time trying to fend off the hungry zombies, who had decided that her high quality plants were some kind of afterlife buffet.

Kami tried blasting them with magic to keep them away to no avail.

Kami:  Why won’t you die!

Zombie: I’m already dead.

Kami: Ah.

However Winter did leave its mark on the more unsuitably dressed zombies.

Julian was growing up fast.  A genie like his father he soon learnt to talk but still seemed to need more work on his other skills.

Galen decided that potty training was a priority and set to work.

Julian: Daddy?  Do you have to watch?

Galen: Just making sure you’re doing it right son.

Julian: How wrong can I get it!

Galen bought Julian a walker to try and improve his walking skills.

However he was more interested in the buttons than in walking.

Julian: Star goes squeak! *giggles*

Kami had discovered the reason for her ‘flu’.  She and Galen were expecting a child.

As Kami helped Julian with his blocks she explained that he was going to have a new baby brother or sister.

Kami: So, are you excited to have a new brother or sister?

Julian: Do I get to pick?  I’d rather have a brother.

Kami: I’m afraid not baby boy.

During bath time Julian had more questions.

Julian: Will my brother come from the machine like me?

Kami: No honey.  This baby is growing inside of mummy.

Julian: Why didn’t I grow inside of you mummy?

Kami: You were a special gift my darling.  You have a unique bond to daddy that your brother or sister will never have.

Julian: You mean brother.

Kami: Maybe.

Julian: But I said I want a brother!

Kami: *sigh*

Since Kami told Galen of her pregnancy he walked around with a permanent grin on his face.  He had never thought he was ready for children until Julian had unexpectedly appeared in his life, and now he couldn’t wait for his second child.

The cold weather seemed never ending and Kami was worried that her plants would suffer.

Galen was reading pregnancy books to make sure that he was prepared for what was to come.  Julian had been easy but this was a whole new kettle of fish!

Julian was going through a difficult phase and was refusing to let Bonehilda tend to him.

Which meant Galen was having to get up at all hours to see to his son.

Julian: Daddy!

Galen: Now son.  Why won’t you let Bonehilda pick you up?  She is here to look after you.

Julian: She is all cold and bony.

Kami followed Galen’s example and read the pregnancy books he had bought.  She wouldn’t admit it but she was quite scared at the prospect of having her first child.

With work suspended due to her pregnancy, Kami took over the task of teaching Julian his skills.  It was not going smoothly

Julian: Where’s daddy?

Kami: He’s working honey.

Julian: But I can’t poop without daddy here.

Kami: There you go honey, walk for mummy.

Julian: Nope.  Need daddy.

Even Bonehilda was having more luck than Kami.

Galen: Hey Bonehilda, where’s Kami?

Bonehilda: She went for a lie down sir.  This little chap has been causing quite a stir!

Galen: Julian?

Julian: Hey daddy.

Kami tried not to worry, but she felt that Julian didn’t want to be with her.  She hoped that once the pregnancy was over he would be okay again.

Meanwhile, Galen tried to teach Julian to walk.  He worried about Julian’s attitude to Kami, but like her blamed it on the pregnancy.

Kami was near her due date and nerves had kicked in.  She had had scans and knew all was well but was still anxious.  The doctors had told her that there was a strange shape on the scan last time she had gone.  Nothing to worry about they said, but who wouldn’t worry?

Kami sat staring out into the star spattered sky, and made a wish.

Kami: Please let my baby be okay.

Kami watched as Julian played with his dolls house.

Julian: Mr Man, I’m scared.  Mummy has my new brother growing in her tummy and I didn’t grow that way.  Does that mean mummy wont love me as much? 

Kami held back tears as she approached her son.  She finally realised why he had been so awkward towards her.  She scooped him up and help him tight.

Kami: My baby boy.  Mummy will always love you just as much as any brother or sister you may have. 

Julian: But I didn’t grow in your tummy like my brother.

Kami: No, but mummy made you all the same.  Don’t ever forget that you were a special gift to me Julian and I will always love you.

Julian: Love you too mummy.  I need to potty now.

Kami took Julian to the potty and was overjoyed when she realised that he had learnt to potty on his own.

Kami: Oh baby boy, I am so proud.

Julian: Thank you mummy, but a little privacy please?

By the end of the evening Kami was feeling quite uncomfortable.  Her back was hurting more than usual and she had strange pains in her abdomen.  She was worried but still put Julian to bed and read him a story.

As Kami and Galen prepared for bed the pain became unbearable.

Kami: Galen!  I think it’s time, we need to head to the hospital.

Galen:  Are you sure?  You’ve been complaining for a couple of days now.

Kami: Look, I know you are tired, I am too but it’s time to go!

Kami: Arrrggghhhh!

Galen: Fine.  But I have work in the morning you know.  If this is a false alarm I will not be happy.

Kami: Believe me Galen, if I was not in so much pain right now I would kick you!

Galen: Well come on then, hurry up.  You wanted to go to the stupid hospital.

Kami: *’#;#’[=

Galen: Are you sure this is necessary?

Kami: Are you coming to help with the birth of your child or what!?

Galen: *gulp* coming!
