Chapter 15
Four months have passed, during that time, I've asked Borg to do something for me. I get a call saying it's ready. Coming to Borg tower, I head for the top floor.
Borg rolls over, smiling as I walk in. The coat I wear brushes the ground. "Come over here, Jay." He goes to a table.
Pulling the coat off, sitting in the chair, the metal attachment is over my shoulder. Borg places the shoulder of the arm on the attachment, taking a wrench and he tightens a part.
Jerking hard, the fingers move from the motion. "Good, that's good." Borg says. "No matter how many times we do this, it never feels good." I said as he tightens the bolts.
More nerves awaken, I move my new fingers, doing the excercise touching my thumb to my other fingers. Borg moves away, I stand, doing katas and other moves.
"I'm glad it works and you can walk out of here with it. Today's the last adjustment." I pay Borg for the arm and head home. Pulling on gloves, I hide the arm quite well.
Walking into the temple, Nya comes to meet me. She wraps her arms around me, I return it. Her eyes go wide, she grabs my new arm and pushes the sleeve up.
"So that's what you've been doing the last two month's." Nya says. I smile "I wanted to surprise you, love." I say, pulling Nya to me.
Covering my arm, we head for the dinning room. Sitting down, Beca and Rachel hug me. During the meal, I reach for the salad bowl with my new hand.
A clatter sounds as Kai and the others see my new arm. "Like it, Borg finished it today." I say, holding my hand up. Making a fist, I uncurl it.
"I know it's not my arm, but I feel whole." I say. Nya kisses my cheek, I smile as Abby and Rachel hug me.
Later that night in mine and Nya's room, I gently hold her belly with two hands for the first time.
"It won't be long now, right Ny Ny." I say to my wife. Nya hums as I continue. With a kiss on her belly, I crawl up and curl around my beloved.
"Jay." Nya says. "Hum." I sound as my eyes close. "Thank you." She says. "Thank you for surviving to see your loved ones and for coming home to us."
I kiss my wife, holding her close and fall asleep.
