not waste the time remaining. Your gift is waiting for you at your home world.” The Reg disappeared and Matt and Al found themselves above Ross next to the crystal ship.
“Looks like I have to move.”
“Not immediately, Al. Melanie must have our child before she comes on board.”
“Fly Girl is also expecting a child, Matt.”
“Al, that’s wonderful. Why haven’t you told me?”
“We just found out. I, too, would like to wait until our child arrives.”
“I’m certain we will be busy for a while trying to find the chosen warriors to fly these ships. I wish I knew how to go about finding them.”
“Are you going to have time to do that and rule the Realm?”
“Oh my ancestors; you’re right.” Matt thought for more than an hour and then said, “Before I do anything I have to see if what I suspect is right. Please go back to the outer system of the Reg with Fly Girl and notify me as soon as the ships begin appearing.”
“We’ll leave immediately.”
Matt appeared back in the Map Room and he sat down and thought about how to find the chosen warriors.
Two hours later he heard, “Magic.”
“Yes, Melanie.”
“It’s time. You’ll have to tell me later about your visit to the Reg. Our baby is coming to see us.”
Matt jumped out of his chair and ran out of the map room.

M att sat on the bed beside Melanie looking at their baby. He was amazed at how small she was and how much he loved her. His heart was almost overwhelmed with his emotions. He and Melanie had been talking with her mentally months before she was born and the child would radiate its happiness at hearing them. “She’s beautiful, Magic. I have to believe that this is your greatest trick ever.”
Matt shook his head, “No, Darling, this was all you.”
“You’re sweet but it takes two to make a baby.”
Matt smiled and asked, “What are we going to name her?”
Melanie looked at Matt and said, “The only name we could ever consider; her name will be Angel.”
Matt looked at Melanie and then leaned down and kissed her tenderly. “Her middle name will be Grace.”
Melanie looked at him with tears in her eyes and held on tightly. The baby yawned and fell asleep feeling her parent’s love.
Matt stayed with Melanie and the baby for three days but then he heard Al’s thought, “Matt, five masses of crystal have appeared in the outer system. They don’t look anything like your ship but just large lumps of crystal.”
“You say there are five.”
“Yes.”
I’ll be out to join you after I pick up some passengers.”
“We’ll be here; congratulations on the birth of your little girl. Tell Melanie for me, please.”
“Fly Girl has already contacted her and gave her both of your well wishes.”
Al sighed mentally, “She’s better at that kinda stuff than I am.”
Matt laughed, “So is Melanie.”
Matt sent a thought, “Cassandra, could you come to Ross and bring Tommy with you. If you could come in the Kosiev I’d appreciate it.”
“What’s up, Matt?”
“I’ll explain when you arrive.”
“We’ll finish up here and probably arrive in thirty minutes.”
“That would be fine, Cassandra.”
“Tag, will you and Danielle join me in the map room in thirty minutes, please.”
“Is it something that can wait?”
“No, Tag, it isn’t.”
“We’ll drop what we’re doing and be there.”
“Thank you.”
“Anglo, will you join me in the map room in thirty minutes, please.”
“I’ll be there.”
“Sprig, would you and Twig mind meeting me in the map room in thirty minutes?”
“We’ll come immediately, Your Majesty.”
“Make it thirty minutes from now if you don’t mind.”
“See you then.”
“Life, please meet me in the map room at Castle Gardner in thirty minutes.
“Looks like I have to move.”
“Not immediately, Al. Melanie must have our child before she comes on board.”
“Fly Girl is also expecting a child, Matt.”
