Chapter 2
On the planet of Rindat, there was a couple who wanted to have children. It was normal for a woman to want a child since their bodies often tell them that they need to have a child. Some women still do not want children despite of that and that is their right as well. This woman was named Susie and she desperately wanted and needed to have a baby. Her husband, named William, wanted a child as well, since it was within a man's make up to desire to pass his genes on to the next generation.
But there is a problem with William and Susie. They seem to not be able to have children. Try for years, and still no baby. They are heart broken that they are barren. Many nights of tears and prayer come for the couple. They have a close friend who is their family doctor called Doc Smith.
The doctor has them tested for infertility.
#
Susie and William walk into the doctor's office a week later and they sit down in chairs. Doc Smith comes in the room solemn faced.
The couple can tell the results from their friend's face and they break down.
Doc Smith speaks,” I hate to be a bearer of bad news but you have both been tested positive for infertility. I am so sorry for your loss.”
Even the doc begins to get teary eyed since these, are his friends. He does not tell them that he has tried to get an infertility specialists to assist in this matter but they will not work for free. He knows that telling that fact will be like driving a knife through their hearts. Much later he does tell them but it is not the time for it now.
William and Susie are both very poor and have no insurance. They are full time ministers at their local church. They were called by their Maker to do so. They have all their needs provided for but they do not have all that they want. They can not afford the treatment to cure their conditions. On Rindat, it is highly possible to treat their condition of infertility(as well as others) but you must have a
lot of money and/or insurance.
But, they have neither. So they are out of luck.
It is a shame though since William and Susie are among the finest and most upstanding people in all of Rindat. They do deserve a child since of all the good work they have done for their God and others. They did not do for reward but that it was the right thing for them to do!
The couple wanted children but it was not in the cards for them! It seem to them that they would
never get pregnant. They begin to grieve for their loss and pray to their God for a child.
Years go by and still no pregnancy!
#
One day, Susie gets sick to her stomach and goes to see Doc Smith with her husband. The couple is in the dark to what she is really sick about. They wait in the waiting room for what seems like forever, then they called to come back into one of the doctor's offices by a nurse. The nurse does all the prep work for the doctor and leaves the small room.

Doc Smith comes in and hugs William and Susie. The three sit and talk about Susie’s sickness. The doc does all sorts of tests but finds nothing.
Weeks go by the doctor still can not find anything. The three are at loss at to do.
Doc Smith speaks,” I have prayed for weeks and the Lord tells me to give you a pee test. I do not know why yet, but I will obey him!”
Susie does the pee test and a couple days goes by.
#
Susie and William are all torn up inside about not knowing what is wrong with Susie. It is a very hard time for the duo. They both pray and fast for their needs. Finally they break the fast and eat
dinner. They are cleaning up when they hear a loud banging on the door. They rush to the door and look
through the peep hole.
It is Doc Smith and he seems frantic about something. This is not like the usually calm doctor.
The couple lets him in and sees that he has papers in his hands.
William asks,” What is wrong? You look excited! We just finished dinner do you want some?”
Doc Smith speaks,” I am fine and I do not need anything! Please sit down, because I have something important to tell you! I did not want to tell you over the phone. I do not want you to hurt yourselves because you could faint from shock!”
The two do as they are told and sit down.
They are both thinking,”What is it now? What could it be?”
Doc Smith says,” I have found what is bothering you!”
The good doctor is just bursting out of the seams with excitement.
Doc Smith says,” You are having morning sickness!”
William says,” Why is she getting sick in the morning? What is behind this?”
The couple still does not get so the doc has to spill it out.
Doc Smith,” Susie, you are Pregnant!”
Both Susie and William fall out of their seats. They both fainted due to shock of finding out that they are going to have a baby. Doc smith had to grab Susie under the arms to try to put her back on the love seat. William stirs awake and helps the doctor to put Susie back in her seat.
William says,” Will she be fine doc?”
Doc Smith says,” I believe so. She did not receive any damage from the fall but just had a surprise.”
Susie wakes up back up and asks,” What has happened to me?”
William speaks,” We are going to have a baby!”
Susie begins to cry along her husband.
#
Hours go by and the couple is still rejoicing.
It is getting late and the doctor leaves to go home.
#
Nine months later Susie is the local hospital OB unit with William at her side in scrubs. She is about to give birth. Nurses are all around her helping her in the birthing process. The baby finally passes and the nurses wrapped the baby in a soft baby blanket. The nurse hands the baby over to Susie and makes sure that Susie got a good grip on the baby.

One nurse says,” It is a boy!”
William says,” God has given us a son! We have been blessed with the promise that we have been given!”
Susie could only could cry out of joy and William broke out in tears as well. The couple were beside themselves in joy. They were beyond words at this point and they did not know what to say.
#
Both Susie and William raise their son up in love and in the teachings of their maker. The boy seems to be normal in most ways. But he is extremely intelligent and is in the most advanced schools for the top two percent of all grade school children in all of the nation. The boy never studied but always excelled in academics and even athletics. He was the fastest child in all his races that he was involved with. The boy loved combat sports which his parents abhorred at first.
He would get very upset if anyone tried to keep him from away from any combat sports, especially pro wrestling and secondly mixed martial arts. Eventually his parents relented to their demands if he did everything that he was told to. Rarely did the boy acted out badly so that he would not get to see his matches.
The child will not play with others and is a loner. The parents think that something is wrong
with him so they have tested by Doc Smith. The doc could find nothing wrong with the boy.
Doc Smith says,” I can not find nothing wrong with him! I just believe that he is just a very special made for a specific purpose! I truly feel that deep within that he is called for service of God but what exactly I do not know. He is apathetic to because everything is too easy for him. All geniuses are strange in their own ways. Yes he is a loner and does not play with other children since they can not respond to him on his level.”
William says,” He is the top of his entire school both athletically and when it comes to smarts. Yet, he it is still too easy for him and he does not have to even try or break out into sweat. He is in an advanced school with children of well off families that live in a completely different world than we poorer people live in. The children that he has as classmates have all the most advanced training and tutors but he has none of these!”
Susie and the doc both seem please with the answer and let the issue drop.
#
The son of William and Susie still does not grow attached to anyone even his parents. The boy seems to be waiting for something but will not talk about it. He seem anxious at times and paces from time to time.
The boy becomes twelve years old and the parents have only a small birthday party with just the three of them because their son does not like attention from a lot of people. It was a nice time that even the son seems to enjoy.
#
The boy is drifting into slumber when he hears screaming come from downstairs. He runs to the opened stair well and he hits the floor. He stays close to the ground so that he would remain hidden from detection. He sees two military types downstairs yelling at his mother and father. The boy sneaks back while in commando style. He grabs a base ball bat and some darts from his dartboard game on the wall. He rushes back and sees that the solders are roughing up his parents. His mother was knocked to the floor and they had his father grabbed by the collar.
The boy has had enough and throws the darts at the face of solider that had hit his mother. The darts pierce the temple and two darts hit the eyes of the solider. The remaining solider is completely taken off guard when the boy jumps from the stairwell and hits the solider with a baseball in the back of the head. The solider falls face first on his exposed knife. The solider with darts in his head falls to the ground unto his back but is still breathing. The boy uses his metal bat to smash the attacker's chest.
Blood spurts from the attacker's mouth as he dies. The boy has managed to kill two trained soldiers with just mere boy's toys.
Susie screams out of horror in what her son has just done.
William spoke,”Boy, I know you did nothing wrong with you just wanting to protect your family but the military would not see it that way! I pray for yo..”
A huge man busts through the front door and co cocks the lad from behind his wars. The boy is knocked unconscious and is picked up by the huge man. The huge man throws the boy over his left shoulder. The huge walks through the front door and is chased by William and Susie.
A man in a trench coat stops them and shows them some paperwork.
The parents look as a letter of enlistment.
Susie yells,”He is only twelve and he is still a minor! You do not have the right to take our son!”
The man in the trench coat says,” I have the right to enlist whoever I want and you are powerless to do anything about it! You will be jailed for resisting me and the military!”
Police show up, arrest the duo, and hold them for a few days.
The couple are blessed enough to be in the same cell alone. They prayed out loud for the entire time while in jail and fast from food and water.
#
After a few days they are released and they come back home. The has been restore to before the attack like it had never occurred. Everything it is like it was once beside being absent of their son. They hold each other and cry.
