The Smurfiest Arrival (Hero Stories)/Part 3

Over the course of the next few months, the Smurfs were noticing how the pregnancy was changing Wonder. Her stomach got bigger and bigger by each passing month and that she was suffering from morning smurfness. Hero was concerned about her and his child's well-being that he asked Papa Smurf if there was anything he can do to help.

"Is there anything you can do to help Papa Smurf?" Hero asked, sounding concerned.

"Luckily Mother Nature told me about a special potion to combat morning smurfness" Papa said, as he showed Hero a vial with red liquid in it.

"What does it smurf?" Hero asked again.

"This potion will stop Wonder's morning smurfness all together" Papa said.

"Really?" Hero asked, sounding surprised.

"Indeed" Papa said, "Take it and tell her to drink it".

Papa then handed Hero the small vial and he headed home as fast as he could.

"Wonder!" he called.

"I'm upstairs Hero" Wonder answered back, "What is it?"

"Papa has smurfed me a potion that will make your morning smurfness stop altogether" Hero said.

"Really?" Wonder asked, as she came down the stairs.

"Yes, Here!" Hero said, handing her the vial.

Wonder soon drank the liquid and felt like immediately bringing it back up.

"What's wrong?" Hero asked concernedly.

"That didn't taste very smurfy" Wonder said.

They soon heard Greedy ringing his bell.

"Dinner time Smurfs!" he shouted.

"I'm hungry" Wonder said.

"Me too! Let's get smurfing" Hero said, as he took his wife's hand and made their way to the dining hall. ...

It was during mealtime, that Hero noticed that Wonder had started to have cravings for unusual food, it looked like it came straight from Farmer's garden. Even Wonder was surprised at what she was eating.

"Papa Smurf" Hero whispered, "Why is Wonder smurfing this way?".

"Don't worry Hero" Papa answered kindly, "This is what happens during a pregnancy, the mother starts to develop unusual cravings for certain foods".

"Why does it smurf?" Hero asked again.

"Reason why it smurfs is because the child has special nutrition needs, so whatever it wants, she has to smurf them" Papa said.

"Oh, I understand" Hero said.

After dinner was done, and the dishes were being cleaned, Hero noticed Wonder was clutching her stomach.

"Wonder, are you okay?" Hero asked worringly.

"I can feel the child kicking inside me Hero" Wonder groaned.

Papa heard the commotion and came running out.

"Hero! What's wrong?" he asked.

"Don't worry Papa Smurf" Hero said, "The baby is kicking".

"Amazing!" Papa said, "It won't be long now before the baby is born".

...

Later that day, Hero was having a chat with Hawkeye.

"Hawkeye! You have my best friend for many years and I hope you will accept about what I have to ask you" he said.

"Whatever it is my friend! Just ask" Hawkeye answered.

"Hawkeye...will you be our child's godfather?" Hero asked him.

Hawkeye was shocked at what he heard.

"Me? a godfather? I will be honoured" Hawkeye responded.

"Thank you" Hero said.

...

As the months progressed, Wonder found herself having trouble to walk. She also found that her dresses were getting too small for her to wear, so Hero had asked Tailor to make a long robe for her along with asking Handy to build an automatic wheelsmurfer in order to help her move around much easier.

"This new automatic wheelsmurfer will make it so much easier for you smurf around the village" Handy said.

"Thanks Handy" Wonder answered in a monotone voice.

"What's wrong Wonder?" Handy asked, "Your not smurfing like your normal smurfy self".

"I feel that Hero won't love me once this is over" she said sadly.

"What are you smurfing about?" Handy said, "Hero loves you and will always love you".

"Most of the time, he is never with me, when I need him" Wonder said.

"Well he is busy keeping us safe from threats, he is our Guardian after all" Handy said.

Wonder soon started to tear up.

"Wonder what's wrong?" Handy asked worringly.

"Sometimes I wish I never agreed on smurfing a child." she cried.

"Don't say that" Handy said, "Even though I can't smurf much help, all I can say is that you have a few more months before your child comes, Don't worry it will all be worth it in the end".

Wonder managed to pull a smile.

"Thank you Handy" Wonder said.

...

That night Hero could hear Wonder crying. He went to comfort her.

"What's wrong Wonder?" he asked sweetly.

"Sometimes I feel the regret of ever agreeing of smurfing a child," Wonder said.

"You're smurfing the best you can," Hero said, "I know taking care of both youself and the baby has not been easy, but remember when the time comes we will have a beautiful child to love, and you will fell joy for what you have achieved."

"I won't be the same Smurfette that you married all those years ago" Wonder said.

"You will always be the same Smurfette to me, because no matter what happens I will love you no matter what." Hero said.

"Do you really mean that?" Wonder asked.

"Of course" Hero said, "As I said on our wedding day, you will the one and only Smurf I will love above all others".

They both looked into each other's eyes and kissed.
