A True Miracle (Hero Stories)/Part 4

"Why didn't the two of you ask me about how I would feel about this?" Saviour demanded.

"Saviour! I was expecting you to be happy for us, you are going to have a younger brother or sister" Smurfette said.

"I am happy about it but...why didn't you discuss it with me? You completely ignored my feelings" Saviour said.

"Saviour! I was going to tell you about it but...this smurf was worried about the way you would smurf". Hero said.

"They way I would smurf?" Saviour said, "Papa...of all Smurfs, you should have smurfed to me about this first".

"I know, I'm sorry" Hero apologised.

Saviour seen a tear drop from her Papa's eyes.

"Don't cry Papa Smurf" Saviour said, "I am happy that I will have a younger brother and sister, but I am rather annoyed that you didn't smurf to me about it first".

Hero looked at her and wiped away the tears.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to help you and auntie Smurfette" Saviour said before she kissed him on the cheek.

Hero smiled.

...

That night as Hero and Saviour slept, Smurfette was still awake in the downstairs living room, thinking about what it would be like to finally be a Mama Smurf. It was something she always wanted to happen and now it was happening.

Just then there was a knock on the door, it was Abloec.

"Is it okay if I talk with you? he asked her.

"Of course! Come in! But be quiet Hero and Saviour are asleep" Smurfette said, allowing him inside.

"Firstly I would like to smurf my congratulations!" Abloec said.

"Thanks!" Smurfette answered happily.

"So how do you feel about being...uh...you know" Abloec asked.

"Well...I feel excited, but scared at the same time. I mean I have no idea what it will be like being a Mama Smurf" Smurfette answered.

"As far as I know" Abloec said. "Is that being smurfed a child is the greatest blessing that the Almighty has smurfed upon every living creature, and one that should not be smurfed lightly".

"What do you mean?" Smurfette asked.

"What I mean is that not every living creature respects the life that smurfs inside a womb before it's born. So they just... give it up!" Abloec said.

"Why would anyone want to give up a child?" Smurfette asked.

"Even I'm not sure as to why, but when your further along, there will come times that will test your faith, and I pray that your willpower will be strong to oversmurf what your own desires may want to smurf with the child" Abloec said.

"I love Hero very much Abloec!" Smurfette said. "I owe him this much by keeping his child safe inside me! And making sure it gets born".

Abloec began to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Smurfette asked.

"You know Smurfette, this reminds me of a story that smurfs in my good book" Abloec said.

"Really?" Smurfette asked.

"Yes, the story is about an old human couple who try to smurf their own child but cannot due to them being in their elder years...much like you and Hero, and the Almighty blesses them with a son". Abloec said.

"You think my baby will be a boy?" Smurfette asked.

"That question I can't answer Smurfette because I don't know, only the Almighty knows what gender the child will be, and we won't find out until the child is born in 9 months time" Abloec said, "During this time the Almighty will smurf you under his wing and keep you safe until your child is born".

Smurfette smiled, "Thanks Abloec" she said, before Abloec left.

...

The next day all the Smurfettes were talking amongst themselves about Hero and Smurfette's child.

"I hope it will be a boy" Eden said.

"I hope it will be a girl" Elinor said.

Hero and Smurfette were talking with Papa Smurf and Mother Smurfette.

"So do you know if it will be a boy or girl?" Mother asked.

"Sadly we won't find out until it's born in 9 months time, Papa Smurf" Smurfette said.

"Good luck when your little bundle of joy is born!" Mother said.

"Thanks!" Hero said.

During the course of the day, Hero and Smurfette were thinking about what gender their child be.

"Do you think it will be a boy or girl?" Smurfette asked.

"This smurf asked Wonder that same question all those years ago. It dosen't matter what gender the baby is, either way we will smurf our child the best love and care we can smurf". Hero said.

"Your right" Smurfette said.

...

That night in their bedroom, Smurfette noticed Hero was still awake.

"Still thinking about what it will be like becoming a Papa Smurf again?" Smurfette asked.

"This smurf is still trying to smurf to terms with it" Hero said.

"I'm sure you will be a great Papa Smurf" Smurfette said.

"And you will be a great Mama Smurf" Hero said.

Hero looked into Smurfette's eyes.

"Smurfette, when Wonder smurfed away, this smurf was so depressed I even smurfed thoughts of ending my own life just to be with her again, this smurf is grateful to you for supporting me through that...I love you" Hero said.

"I love you too Hero" Smurfette said, "Just remember that I will always be here to support you and love you no matter what".

The two soon embraced each other and kissed.
