LIGHTENING GOD
By Shirley Caruth
It was a happy day for Christine and Rondo Kramer, when after nine long months of Christine carrying twins was rushed to the hospital to give birth to the babies. This would be the first set of twins in either of their families. They would be the proud parents of two babies shortly. Christine was rushed up to delivery as soon as they reached the hospital. While Rondo was sent to put on a sterile gown, cap and mask to cover his mouth. This proud father had requested to be allowed to be there in the delivery room for the birth of the twins.
The births of the twins came within minutes of one another. The delivery of the twins went like clock work and no problems. And were surprisingly easy deliveries of the two twins for Christine. Rondo and Christine were now the proud parents of two beautiful baby boys. Though she was very happy, Christine wished that her babies had been a boy and a girl. Rondo would have his son and she would have her daughter. Rondo the proud papa was twice as happy. He now had two sons from this birthing instead of one.
"It's a lucky man that gets two sons at once to carry on his name. Rondo smiled proudly.
"Yes it is indeed." the doctor answered cheerfully. "And you Christine my dear will have to wait for that little girl you would have put pink ribbons in her hair."
Christine smiled heartily even though she was a bit tired from her ordeal. She was still pleased with the two sons she had birthed. There would be more children born to them. She had no doubt that she would get the girl child she wanted. Maybe even two or three of them before it was all over. So she took pleasure in Rondo's joy of having two sons. He looked so proud standing there grinning from ear to ear.
The new born twin boys were weighed and cleaned up. The first baby weighed six pounds, two ounces. The second baby weighed five pounds fourteen ounces. The twins were then taken to the hospital nursery. Christine was cleaned up and then taken to recovery where she would stay for two hours before being put into a regular hospital room on the obstetrics floor of the hospital. Christine, she would be attended to there for the rest of her stay there in the hospital. Christine was resting comfortably in her hospital room with Rondo sitting near her bed in a chair. He had passed out at least two boxes of cigars in the hospital. He even gave them to the nurses he was so happy. They talked joyfully discussing their twins until Christine tired and dozing off to a restful sleep. She was so beautiful this mother of his children, Rondo thought as he watch her sleeping peacefully.
Suddenly from out of the blue a storm began to brew up outside. The sun completely disappeared behind grim black clouds rumbling around bumping together in the sky like the cars in a demolition derby. There had been no signs or news of bad weather announced on television or radio in the last few days. This storm had come up from no where all of a sudden.
The sky blackened as if night had fallen upon the town at twelve noon that day. Wind howled and blew furiously, blowing down trees, store signs, almost anything in its path. Lightening began to light up the cloud darken sky, cracking like whips of a hundred loin trainers at once. It followed by thunder roaring loudly as the beastly loins being tamed by the lion trainers.
