Nordica Spellman: Avatar Fanfic (ON HOLD)

Arriving on Pandora

Nordica Spellman is Norman Spellmans' younger sister. She is a botanist. She and her brother went through Avatar training together. Where they meet Tom Sully. Who Nordica fell in love with and he her. They started dating after their first year of study. Then got engaged on their year anniversary.

They were going to marry before they left for Pandora. Then bond the way the Na'vi do with their life mates. But Tom was murdered the night before their wedding. Three weeks before they were scheduled to ship out.

Nordica was invited to his cremation, but she couldn't bear to go. Knowing his identical twin would be there. It was to soon. So Norm and her had their own memorial for Tom. Then a few days later they left for Pandora, not knowing Nordica was 12 weeks pregnant with her and Tom's baby.

But the techs on the ship noticed when they noticed an abnormality with her avatar. They contemplated waking Nordica early. But there appeared to be no issues with the avatar or the baby within it. Or with Nordica and her pregnancy. So they choose to keep an eye on both and let her know once she reached Pandora.

The only thing that concerned them. Was that the baby stopped growing in the avatar body when it reached the same level as pregnancy as her human body. But the baby was healthy, along with the avatar. They theorized it'd start growing again when Nordica exited cryosleep. They alerted the avatar team on Pandora and they made two unique link pods especially for Nordica. So that both her baby and her could link with their other bodies.

(Arriving on Pandora) Nordica's POV

I woke up from cryo feeling very nauseous and vomited a few times. Which was strange. But I didn't think anything of it. I had just spent many years in cryo stasis and nausea can be a side affect. In my locker was a note saying to report to the lab as soon as I arrived on Pandora. And to skip the introduction speech. Which I was fine with, my older brother Norm said he'd tell me the key information when we meet up at our Avatar bodies.

Anyway we were split into two shuttles for landing. Luckily Norm and I were on the same shuttle. "Exo-packs on!" the crew chief tells us. I put mine on and Norm does the same beside me. "Remember people, you lose your mask you're unconscious in 20 seconds and you're dead in four minutes" he reminds us. I roll my eyes.

We land and the ramp starts to open. "Go directly into the base! Do not stop! Go straight inside!" the crew chief tells us. We unbuckle and grab our bags. Norm and I follow the others out. When we get inside, Norm offers to take my bag.

"It's fine, enjoy the introduction speech" I tell him and head for the lab. With my bag. I arrive and notice some people in link pods.

"Hi, I'm Dr Max Patel and you are?" a guy in a lab coat asks me.

"Nordica Spellman, Avatar Driver" I state shaking his hand.

"Right we've been expecting you" he states looking at his data pad. He leads me to an office where a woman was waiting. "Dr Joy, Nordica is here" he declares. "Nordica, our head doctor" he tells me before leaving.

"Please have a seat" she tells me and I do so. "Now I'm just going to get straight to the point, you're pregnant" she states. I look at her shocked.

"I've been in cryo stasis for nearly six years, how could I be pregnant?" I ask her.

"You were 12 weeks pregnant when you went into cryo stasis. I'd like to exam you and make you are fine along with the baby" she states. I nod my head and she does so. I cried silently when I heard my baby's heartbeat, wishing Tom was here. "Everything seems perfect" she tells me.

"How will this affect my ability to connect to my avatar?" I ask her.

"Knew I forgot to tell you something, your avatar is pregnant also. We believe it's because you were pregnant at the time your DNA sample was collected. The avatar baby is healthy, but has stopped growing. It's as far along as you are" she explains.

"But the linking?" I ask her.

"We have made two unique link pods for you. One is here and one is being set up at our site in the mountains. They will allow you and the baby to link with your avatar bodies. The avatar's baby should continue to grow due to this" she states. "Speaking of, do you want to see your avatar?" she asks me. I nod my head.

She leads me to the amnio tanks. I headed over to mine. She was beautiful and I noticed the slightest bump on her smooth belly. It was barely noticeable. I place a hand on mine and feel one too. My avatar looks exactly like me. I notice they remove the sides of another tank and gasp.

I headed over to it. "Tom" I whisper with tears in my eyes as I look at what was suppose to be his avatar. But would now be his twin brothers. It's not fair, he should be here.

"It looks like him" a voice says behind. I stiffen.

"No, it looks like you. This is your avatar now, Jake" Norm states. "Hi Nordica" he says.

"Norm" I say facing him. Trying to ignore the guy in the wheel chair. "How was the introduction speech?" I ask him.

"A lot of rules, not that you'll follow any of them" he states with a chuckle.

"You know me to well brother" I say with a smile.

 "This is Jake Sully, Tom's brother" he tells me.

"I know who he is" I state annoyed.

"Is there a problem?" Jake asks us confused.

"She was going to marry your brother, they were engaged and everything" Norm tells him.

"Stop talking Norm, it's none of his business" I tell my brother annoyed. Max appears and leads the boys away. Getting Jake to do his first video log. Before we went to meet our boss for the next five years.

"Grace Augustine is a legend. She's the head of the Avatar Program, and she wrote the book -- I mean literally wrote the book -- on Pandoran botany" Norm brags to Jake.

"Which I plan on revising" I state.

"And here she is, Cinderella back from the ball. Grace, I'd like you to meet Norm Spellman, Nordica Spellman and Ja..." Max starts to say.

"Nordica, Norm. I hear good things about you. How's your Na'vi?" Grace asks us.

"May the All Mother smile upon our first meeting" Norm says formally.

"I see you, you will had to excuse my brothers' formality" I tell her. Grace nods approvingly, taking a drag on her cigarette. I make a point to steer clear of her smoke. Though she wasn't blowing in my direction.

"Not bad, though your sister is right Norm. You are a little formal" Grace states.

"I studied for five years and my sister for three. But there is still so much to learn" Norm tells her sheepishly.

"Uh Grace, this is Jake Su..." Max tries to say.

"Yeah, yeah, I know who you are, and I don't need you. I need your brother" Grace states. "You know -- the PhD who trained three years for this mission" she states.

"He's dead. I know it's a big inconvenience to everyone" Jake states. I left the lab. How can they be so insensitive. My fiance was dead and it may of been nearly six years. But due to cyro stasis, it feels like it's only been a few weeks. And I just found out I am pregnant with our baby and will have to raise it alone. How can life be so cruel? What did I do to deserve this?
