requested, Harley Street doctors
had been notified of the outcome by the hospital. On further investigation of
the Storm’s scans and historical records however, they were more than amazed at
the final results that appeared to be showing up. Any previous traces of the
tubal damage had miraculously disappeared, and it was almost as if the original
problem had never existed in the first place. The whole thing was deemed rather
odd and held no rational explanation from a medical point of view. It was a total
mystery to all concerned, and very soon this became what could only be
prescribed as headline news in the papers, along with the latest editions of
medical journals.
       
    As anticipated, the Storms had been
contacted, and once the required arrangements had been put in place, the
doctors carried out a whole series of further checks. These seemed to drag on
forever, but after a while, the media attention thankfully began to calm down.
This made a lot of difference, and essentially allowed John and Emma to carry
on leading what they hoped would turn out to be a fairly normal life with their
newborn
baby.                                                                          
        The expected
stream of visitors ensued, just as they’d been warned, and the majority
commented on how advanced Janus seemed to be for his age.   
        Another thing they never failed to mention
was how captivating his eyes appeared to be. The deep blue gaze was
extraordinarily mesmerising in all honesty, yet most of these people felt very
unsettled, having felt as though the child somehow knew what they were
thinking. It was almost as if he could read their minds at times. As time
progressed however, this was exactly the sort of thing that would separate him
from others throughout his life. His parents tried their hardest to treat Janus
as a normal child as much as possible. Yet they looked to keep the truth to
themselves, rarely discussing the events of that bizarre night earlier in the
year.

CHAPTER
2 – Young Love

 
    The first few
years simply flew by, and before they even knew it, Janus had already reached
his fifth year at the local primary school.
       
Gill Moxon absolutely adored the pupils she’d taken on that year, and they
seemed to love her in return. However, it wasn’t too far into the first term
that she started to worry about one of the boys called Janus Storm. He’d proved
to be extremely receptive to her teachings, which was great news, but his level
of intelligence appeared to be well above that of the other children in the
class.  
        Therefore, she automatically assumed that
he’d inherited this brains from his mother and father, or at least that was the
case up until the time she first met them face to face at a parents evening.
This was where her suspicions were initially aroused. Emma and John seemed to
be very polite, caring parents. However, there was something very unusual in
the way they talked about their son, which didn’t quite add up to her way of
thinking. Gill had always been a fairly good judge of character during such
situations, and she’d therefore started to wonder if Janus could possibly have
been adopted by the two of them. Therefore, in order to gain the answer,
without trying to offend them in any way, she’d casually asked the couple some
rather personal questions, whilst being very careful about not over stepping
the mark. From the answers she’d received, and having fully analysed the
questions she’d asked in the first place, Gill Moxon firmly concluded that the
boy was certainly not their natural child.
     
    During the next
day few days, Gill studied Janus even closer than would usually be necessary
and she even watched him out of the window as he played outside during break
times. The teacher realised that this could easily be deemed as unprofessional
conduct for a person in such a trusted
