Synopsis for "Labor Pains"

On Tamarind Island, Snowbird and the rest of Alpha Flight learn that she is pregnant and Shaman begins to search for the place of power in which Narya can give birth to her child. Snowbird’s husband Doug Thompson learns from Judd of Narya’s incredible birth before admitting that he does not like anyone in Alpha Flight and wants his wife to be away from them and with normal people. Shaman summons the house spirits who will not cooperate and tell him where Snowbird’s baby should be born, but what they do tell him is that Mansion Alpha is a place of death. Snowbird’s fellow Arctic Gods will not help him as Snowbird turned her back on them when she chose to lie with a mortal. Dr. Strange however comes to Shaman’s aid and together they discover the place of power where Narya’s son can be born. Before Snowbird can be taken there however Alpha Flight must negotiate with Thompson who has taken Narya as if she was a hostage, wanting to take her to a “normal” hospital. However Alpha Flight talk him down and he accompanies them to the place of power. However, the place of power is actually a place of evil power and death! The Atlantean Byrrah, cousin of Namor, breaks into Avengers Mansion to inform his cousin that Attuma has taken over Atlantis and is holding Namor’s beloved Marrina as a prisoner. Namor knows this is a trap but nonetheless heads to Atlantis to try and free the woman he wants as his wife.
