214 Welcome William Wohali

Maureen is taken to the delivery room, Onacona's face is pale as he watched his wife in pain. Holding her tightly he hums the safe song to her to help calm her. Aisling has given him some lavender oil to help calm her. Rubbing her wrist with the oil helps Maureen relax between contractions. Moll talks soothingly to Maureen encouraging her when it came time to push. 

in the waiting room everyone has gathered to wait for the baby. Steve's senses are on overload and it feels like his skin is crawling.looking at Aisling he tells her. 

"I can't breathe in here ;there are too many people. I can't leave either what if something happens to MoMo. I would never be able to forgive myself if anything bad happened to her because I didn't get her here in time. " 

Aisling takes his hand and rubs lavender oil on his wrist while telling him. 

"You did everything right, nothing is going to happen to her. Sometimes it takes awhile for babies to come . She will be ok and do will you. Look at how proud she is of you , over these last weeks you have done well dealing with everything. You know we were expecting to raids and fights and lord only knows what else. You fought to deal with all of it with very little help. So since you come from her remember she has the same strength you do. So she will be fine. " 

Not long after Aisling's talk with her Incle Moll comes out to announce that

"William has arrived at nine pounds and ten ounces. Mother and baby are doing well but daddy is a little anxious fussing over the two of them. Steve Maureen wants to see you" Moll takes Steve to Maureen's room. When he sees her Steve rushes to her side and takes her hand. 

"Are you really ok?"  He asks anxiously. Maureen smiles at him and tells him

"I am better than ok, I have everything and everyone I need here. Would you like to hold him? " 

Onacona hands William to Steve. Steve looks at the tiny baby in his arms, touching the babes hand William grabs his finger and squeezed it. Holding the baby close Steve closes his eyes at the warmth flowing between them. Tears begin to flow from Steve's eyes as he holds the the babe, Maureen and Onacona begin to pray as they watch the two together. A soft glow emitted and surrounded them till they could barely be seen.  Maureen saw the ugly face of the corruption leaving Steve as it was purified and released.  Those in the waiting room could feel the love pouring out of Maureen's room, only a few knew what was happening. 

Steve is in the center of a garden holding William, looking around he tries to figure out where they are. He then hears a voice it is the voice of the father. 

"thank you Momo for your constant love and care. I can never repay you for all that you have done for me. I love you Momo ." Closing her eyes she thanks the lord for giving her back her boy. Feeling his relax and seeing the happiness in his eyes brings her so much joy that her heart is about to burst. 

Steve leaves so that the others can visit with Maureen. Going to the waiting room he waits for HeJin to visit them. Feeling as if the weight of the world has been lifted from him. He does what he has not done in weeks. Steve falls asleep sitting in the chair. John tells the others to go that he would stay with him till he wakes up. Just to bring him something to eat later. After about three hours Steve stretches and realized that he is still at the hospital. Looking around he sees John sitting on another chair reading his bible. Steve asks him. 

"how long did I sleep? Where is everyone?" John looks at him and smiles and tells him. 

" well you fell asleep about three hours ago. I sent the others out to eat and back home. I told them I would bring you home when you woke up..Are you ready to go home? Aisling is making dinner as we speak,plus we have a little girl anxiously waiting for you." 

steve nods and they go say one lady good bye to the new parents and baby, before heading home. 

As soon as Crystal hears the car she runs out to greet them. Aisling took the time while Steve was at the hospital to clear his gem garden . Some of the gems will need to be buried for several months after being cleaned to be recharged. A few became cracked from the negative energy they absorbed. Not wanting to transfer the negativity from the gem to anyone else she brought a jar of moon water and tongs. Picking up the gems with the tings she placed them in the moon water to start their cleansing. Placing the jar on the balcony where the moonlight can clear the negativity from the gems. She will leave them for seven days before burying them in the Earth.  Going down stairs with the others she greets her uncles and they head into dinner. It turns out to be a joyous night. Steve is teasing and playing with everyone like his old self. It's a sight to behold when they break out the cards for game . After a few hours and a lighter wallet Steve goes upstairs to snuggle with his wife. He has missed having her beside him at night and can't wait to feel her next to him. 

the house that night is peaceful and filled with joy over Steve's healing and William's birth.  The next morning Aisling and Astila talk to Steve and HeJin about the house in Tennessee. 

"Uncle we have a problem and I think you can solve it for us. We have a beautiful house in the mountains of Tennessee that is empty right now. We were thinking of renting it out but then we would not get to use it when we want to. If you and Aunt HeJin live there then we can visit when we want and be reassured that it will be taken care of. What do you think?" Astila looks at his friend wondering if he will agree or not. 

Steve asks him.

" How much were you planning on renting it for?" Thinking it may be what he is looking for . 

"Well we were thinking , if you take it over there will be no need to rent it at all. You can live there and take care of it and do any repairs when they arise. It would only be the upkeep and utilities that would beef to be paid. Thdd as t way your retirement will stretch farther and I will have peace of mind that the house I built is being taken care of." 

HeJin's face lights up at the thought of living there. Steve sees his wife's face and gives in . They start to make arrangements to go back to Texas to finalize his retirement and to arrange for the move but only after the twins are born. Steve is not willing to miss their birth. Over the next few days Yona works on the agreement between Astila and Steve to ensure that there are no misunderstandings later on. Steve hold several video conference calls with his men in Texas setting up his replacement and getting his retirement process started. 

Maureen and the baby come hike and HeJin spends most of her time helping Maureen with him. The two have a chat one day while he is sleeping. 

"thank you for letting Steve hold the baby and be so close with him. He loves children but after his time in Vietnam he was not able to have any. " HeJin smiles down at the baby. 

maureen looks at her andasjs her a very serious question. 

"Would you and Steve like to be joint Godparents with Aisling and Astila. We would love for you to be William's godmother. We know that with your age you may need time to think about it but it is something we have wanted since I found out I was pregnant. I love Steve and have wanted to have him be my Childs godparent but I know he would be hesitant because of being in the military. Now that he is retiring it's perfect. Please will you agree?" 

Hejin agrees without hesitation and states to plan his baptism.
