BLUE SUB: "NEW LIFE"

Chapter 1: "Mother"

.o.o.o.

The room was thick with anticipation. Yet the people situated within remained calm and optimistic about what was to come. Things were changing so fast these days that it helped to try and find a little stability in ones day to day life.

"You've really done it now." Kisaki chastised as he sat in the small room with the others.

Hayami glanced up at him. "I guess you're right, I mean there isn't really any greater hurl for a man then having a child." He replied with an odd smile.

Kino looked over at him. "It's a mixed race child- the first of its kind." She offered sincerely with a faint blush.

Dianna looked up, having been pulled out of her thoughts by the last few words of the others' exchange. She nodded. "A special child indeed, perhaps more then you know- than any of us know." She reasoned. "It won't be easy, not for her or you… or the little child you've created together." She explained calmly.

Hayami nodded. "I know, but I also realize that there are struggles in life that we must endure to become better persons." He replied. "And besides- what's life without a little hardship?" He asked with a smile.

The door opened to the room and a blond-haired man stepped into the room, dressed in plain clothes. Yet his body language betrayed his stern military training.

"Ian?" Hayami asked suddenly, rising to his feet to greet Colonel Maxtable.

The Brit approached him and held out a hand. "I was in Geneva when I learned about the pregnancy and came as fast as I could." He explained. He then noted the look on the other man's face. "Now Mr. Tetsuo, you didn't think that the U.N. doesn't have its ways of finding things out?"

Hayami smiled back at him. "I guess not." He replied. "Well, you've already met Kino" He began, motioning towards the small redhead whose hair was now past her collar, making her look rather cute.

"Ma'am." Ian replied courteously to her, taking her hand and kissing it. The girl blushed at the contact.

Hayami smiled. "And you also know Kasaki here." He added.

Ian and the other man shook hands and greeted one another.

Hayami then cleared his throat as the last person in the room stepped forward. "And this is Doctor Dianna Ainsley." He announced, pointing towards the green-skinned woman as she stood before Ian.

Ian was silent for a moment, but Dianna brushed it off. "I see you're at a loss for words at my change of attitude, I assure that I wasn't myself the last time we met, though I am now happy to say that I am much better."

Ian smiled at her and shook her hand. "It also seems you've had a change of attire." He observed. "I look forward to getting to know you better, now that we can speak as friends and allies."

Dianna nodded in agreement. "Yes, and as citizens of the Crown." She added with a touch of nobility in her voice.

Ian nodded in recognition of her words. "How nice to find another native of our Mother Country in such a far off place."

Ian then turned back to Hayami. "As much as I hate to change the subject, I must confess that I'm not just here for personal reasons." He admitted. "Your child presents an enormous step forward in regards to the integration of Humans and Hybrids into Earth Society, as well as a unique opportunity for the scientific community." He explained.

Hayami became somber at the words. "I won't allow you to turn my child into some sort of test subject for the curiosity of others." He sternly replied.

The soldier held up his hands. "On the contrary my dear fellow- I was sent to express the U.N.'s deep concerns for the safety of the child, its wellbeing may be the next great step in bridging the gap between the two races." He explained. "We have no desire to take your child from you, but rather to ensure that it is safe and looked after."

Dianna chimed in. "So, in other words, it is to be a shining example of the compatibility of Humans and Hybrids?" She asked.

"Exactly!" Ian replied. "If not to this extent, then it at least proves that we can coexist on this planet." He added.

.o.o.o.

Hayami and Ian entered the chamber, though Hayami motioned for him to remain at the entrance for the moment. "She's gotten kind of jump in the last few weeks." He explained.

Ian Smiled. "That's one thing humans and hybrids have in common sometimes." He replied with a smile.

He entered the room and sat down at the center where Mutio lay, partially submerged in water. "Hayami." She almost whispered.

She flinched slightly when a stethoscope was places on her stomach. Hayami looked up at the other man. He was a Doctor named Simon Jinnah. He was a young man from Pakistan with slicked back black hair and youthful face. "Yes, the heart rate is all normal." He replied.

He then looked up at Hayami. "I must say that this is the first time that I've ever dealt with something like this- despite my field of expertise." He explained.

"Dr. Jinnah has been the pioneer for radical new birthing procedures." Dr. Warlock explained. "His experience in similar fields made me believe that he was best suited for this."

"And what experience is that?" Ian asked.

Jinnah dried his hands and stood up, smiling at Mutio in the process. "I recently finished a tour around the recovering areas of the world, and I've assisted in births that involve complications." He explained.

"He's also the first human Doctor to birth a hybrid." Hayami added.

Dr. Jinnah smiled. "A female hybrid went into labor when I was visiting a friend in Canada, I was the only available physician, so I delivered it." He informed them. "Though, this case is yet another new scientific frontier for me."

"Perhaps one day, things like this may not be as uncommon as they are now." Dr. Warlock offered. "The data we gain from Mutio's pregnancy will be vital in the future."

Hayami smiled. "Hopefully, the more we know about one another, the more we can see that we're not that different."
