sombra del Gigante.

— El bebé fue bautizado por un sacerdote. El llegó al area de cuidados
intensivos para bebés prematuros; no era su primera vez, por supuesto, había
bautizado recién nacidos que iban a morir. Se mostró aliviado al conocer la
fuerza y salud del bebé mas su deseo de vivir, independientemente de su tamaño.
— Andrew Arkanian Delphiki: Te bautizo en nombre del padre, del hijo y del
espíritu santo.
— No van a llamarlo Ender, verdad ? – Dijo Peter.
— Hasta que el nos detenga – Dijo Petra
— Que descanso Peter – dijo Theresa Wiggin – Ahora no tendrás que llamar Andrew
a un hijo tuyo, Peter.
— El bebé fue nombrado por Saint Andrew. Los bebés se nombran por los santos,
no por soldados.

Anton y su equipo descubrieron que el bebé tenía el síndrome de Bean. La llave
estaba activada, y dos pares de genes permitieron probar que la condición era
hereditaria.”No hay razón para suponer que todos los bebés tengan la
modificación”, reportó a Bean, Petra y Peter, “pero es dominante. Los bebés que
la tengan nacerán por la viá rápida.”

— Parto Prematuro, dijo Petra

They had the baby christened by a priest. He came into neonate intensive care;
not the first time he’d done it, of course, baptizing distressed newborns before
they died. He seemed relieved to learn that this baby was strong and healthy and
likely to survive, despite how tiny he was.
“Andrew Arkanian Delphiki, I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.”
It was quite a crowd gathered around the neonate incubator to watch. Bean’s
family, Petra’s family, and of course Anton and Ferreira and Peter and the
Wiggin parents and Suriyawong and those members of Bean’s little army who
weren’t actually on assignment. They had to wheel the incubator cart out into a
waiting room to have space enough to hold everybody.
“You’re going to call him Ender, aren’t you,” said Peter.
“Until he makes us stop,” said Petra.
“What a relief,” said Theresa Wiggin. “Now you won’t have to name a child of
your own after your brother, Peter.”
Peter ignored her, which meant that her words had really stung.
“The baby is named for Saint Andrew,” said Petra’s mother. “Babies are named
for saints, not soldiers.”
“Of course, Mother,” said Petra. “Ender and our baby were both named for Saint
Andrew.”

Anton and his team learned that yes, the baby definitely had Bean’s syndrome.
The Key was turned. And having two sets of genes to compare confirmed that
Bean’s genetic modification bred true. “But there’s no reason to suppose that
all the babies will have the modification,” he reported to Bean, Petra, and
Peter. “The likelihood is that the trait is dominant, however. So any child who
has it should be on the fast track.”
“Premature birth,” said Bean.
