Scarlet Alexa: Generation 8 Chapter 4

Our last chapter left off with our two science-nerds consummating their marriage in outer space.

All I know is, Ariana and James have set some pretty high standards for a geeky first woohoo. 

This is for all of you science-freaks...don't settle for candles or closets for that first time together.

Nope, you want to be among the stars.  If you can't do it in space, don't do it at all. 

Their attempts to have a baby was a success. Generation 10 is on it's way!  James was so very excited when Ariana broke the news.


The pregnancy for Ariana was very uneventful and before I knew it, she was in labor.  Something was wrong though...this wasn't right.  She called for James and requested that he take her to the hospital.


James got her to the hospital in record time. Dr. Mirabella Grimm (who I hear is one of the best) was on call to access her and ultimately it was decided that if the lives of mom and baby both were to be spared, an emergency cesarean was needed.

As this was an emergency surgery and not a routine delivery, James was not allowed in the delivery room.  I really thought he was going to go crazy waiting to hear  if Ariana and the baby were okay.  Marriage for them had been so fast but already, the thought of losing her was more than he could bear.

The last thing Ariana remembered was the erratic beeping of the heart monitors and the sound of the doctor telling her that her baby would be born soon.  Then, all went black.



Glenna Elise made her way earthside and was placed into the arms of her loving father.  Things for Ariana were still not looking good and James never left her side. His wife and daughter were all that mattered.

Day by day he sat by her bedside and held her hand, brushed her hair from her face and cared for little Glenna.

"That's your mama," he would say as he lifted Glenna to his shoulder so she could get a glance.  Then he would promise her that mama would certainly get better and they would be a family.


Three weeks after giving birth, Ariana opened her eyes.  She was ready to go home to meet her little girl.   Little Glenna had already made the trip home where Grammy Scarlet and her daddy had been taking turns caring for her.

A daughter—Ariana had a daughter. She had been so convinced that she was going to have a little boy.  The moment that Ariana walked into the nursery and her mom handed her baby Glenna, she knew that her life would never be the same. This precious baby girl held her heart and all of her hopes for the future. Nothing could have prepared her for the love she felt at that moment.


Ariana had grappled with death and fought her way back to her home—her family. The support and love of her family had gotten her through some of the darkest hours and now she was ready to take the responsibility of raising the next generation of Montgomery children into adulthood.

Scarlet, though not yet elder, knows her daughter is ready to take her places as the heir of the Montgomery family.  At 4:30 P.M. on  February 25, Scarlet signed over all deeds and titles to the Montgomery home and relinquished the title of matriarch to beautiful daughter, Ariana.   She has promised to be by her daughter's side, to aid her in any way that she can in training Glenna to survive the apocalyptic doom that James and Ariana fear is in the near future. 

It is a race against the clock. Will James and Ariana succeed in preparing their daughter for the apocalypse? Will there even be an apocalypse? Only time will tell...
