Continuing "Next Generation"

"I dunno" Rod yawned

"Let's go see how your father is," Lee declared as she walked out of the room and led Rod into the med lab.

"Okay" Rod sighed

-

Meanwhile, in the emd lab, Giuseppe was sitting on a chair while Jack was analyzing his heart with a stethoscope "Okay, cough" he instructed the ederly half-Protoss man as Giuseppe began to cough "Cough more" Jack nodded as Giuseppe began to cough more "More" Jack added as Giuseppe threw a fit of coughs, Jack then tsked variosu times as he shook his head while geting the stethoscope off him and Giuseppe

"What do i have besides Cancer?"

"Severe coughing" Jack replied

"Jack!" Lee cried as she and Rod rushed into the med lab. "Is Giuseppe all right? Did you find anything wrong with him?"

"Not at all" Jack shrugged "Just... Cancer and coughs"

"Cancer? What type? Is he going to die?" Lee gasped in astonishment.

"No, this is Protoss Cancer, it just annoying, but not deadly" Jack replied

"How the hell did he get Protoss cancer?" Lee snarled angrily. "Why is it not such a big deal for you people? Do you realize that cancer kills hundreds of people every day?"

"I dunno, some exposure to some toxic enviorment" Jack shrugged "I can cure him, but it'll take long"

"All right then," Lee sighed heavily. "Where's Angela? Is she all right?"

"Yeah, she's playing with Sonja and Aida" Jack replied

"Where is she playing with them?" Lee demanded sternly while crossing her arms.

"In the main room" Jack replied

"All right, let me go find them," Lee sighed as she walked over to the main room to check on her stepdaughter and adoptive sister.

She then arrived at the main room as she noticed Aida and Sonja playing with Angela. Aida and Sonja were wrestling with each other and Sonja had pinned the younger infant to the ground flat on her back. "Pinned ya!" Sonja giggled as she grinned at her silly.

"Play nice, kids" Angela laughed as she picked up Aida on her arms and began to bounce her

"Hello, Angela," Lee greeted her mother-in-law kindly as she strolled over to Sonja and nuzzled the little red-haired girl. "Auntie Lee1" Sonja purred as she hugged her leg and cuddled close to her and Aida began giggling for her older sibling. "Auntie Lee! Auntie Lee!" she squeaked playfully.

"How's everything, momma?" Rod sighed as he approached his mother and picked up Aida on his arms before nuzzling her

"Very good" Angela smiled

"Uncle Roddie!" Aida squeaked while nuzzling him back.

"I'm sorry about Giuseppe, Angela. I hope he gets better soon," Lee expressed her condolences to Angela while placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Ah, don't worry, Giuseppe will be alright" Angela laughed as Rod began to tickle Aida "This is not hte first time he falls ill" Angela added

"How often has he gotten ill anyway?" Lee remarked suspiciously.

"Unca!" Aida cooed as she curled up in his arms and yawned deeply before drifting to sleep.

Sonja then rubbed her eyes and blinked them with a big yawn.

"Well, when we met and were teenagers, he had leukemia" Angela replied

"Night,, little one" Rod whispered as he kissed Aida good night, the npicked up Sonja and also kissed her

"He had leukemia?" Lee gasped. "That's terrible!"

"Mama," Aida whimpered as she reached out her tiny hands for Lee, and Sonja did the same.

"Yeah, but he hopefully goy cured" Angela smiled

"Don't cry, little ones, i'll pick you to the bed" Rod shushed the babies gently as he he headed towards the babies room so they can sleep

"It appears that he has suffered a recurrence then," Lee concluded while rubbing her chin pensively.

"YEah, but don't worry, he'll be cured soon" Angela smiled
