Hey all! I got the idea in my head now it won't leave!! I also have some ideas that isn't usable for several chapters! And i still don't own hellboy!
Hellboy had a flashback to the day Sophie's school was attacked and the twins were born. He remembered the terror that there was nothing he could do. This had to be 10 times worse for Abe.
He, Abe, Gregory and John had been off on a mission in New Zealand for two days now and Abe had been antsy about being away from Abby. They were just packing up the gear to head back, the creature finally dead after nearly ripping Johns head off twice, when Abe's phone started going off. It was Liz, Hellboy recognized the ring tone, emergency siren.
Abe hadn't even finished saying hello before Liz started panicking on the other end. As the phone dropped from his hand John's eyes had gone bing. "Oh god. She's in labor isn't she?"
Hellboy took a moment to pull himself together before grabbing the phone off the ground and looking to Gregory, "Go tell the agents were leaving now whether we leave things behind or not." he then turned to the phone, "Liz, Abe's in shock. How long?"
Liz's response was shaky, "I don't think your gonna make it."
Hellboy glanced at Abe, who John was trying to get into the plane. "Well we're sure as hell gonna try!"'
The ride had been hell. Abe was in a trance the entire time and the pilot kept trying to stay in open air space. That is until Hellboy threatened to spend the trip sitting and watching the pilot
The jolt of the plane setting down seemed to snap Abe out of his stupor. He was out of the tank in seconds and as soon as the plane stopped moving had hit the hatch release, not waiting for it to fully drop before pulling a move that proved he was spending to much time with Abby and was halfway to the door before the others could get out.
He slammed threw the doors to the medical ward and before he could send a message to Abby he heard Manning calling him.
He turned and saw Manning sticking his head out of a room down the hall. When he entered Manning was standing near a doctor who had his back to Abe. Manning looked at Abe and he could tell the older man was worried.
"She isn't making any sound and every now and then seems to have trouble breathing. Despite the fact she's my granddaughter they're not taking my advice!"
Abe turns back as the doctor speaks, "I happen to know more about pediatrics than you sir."
As Abe steps up he gets his first look at his little girl. Minus the obvious differences she is almost exactly like him but for her coloring is shades of purple and her nails are black and seem sharper. Her eyes are closed as if she is asleep.
As he looks down at her the doctor goes to draw a blood sample from the child. Anihita's eye snap open and she looks up at Abe with deep purple eyes. Abe feels a flash of happiness before her head shifts and then he is hit with fear.
Abe's hand snaps out and before he realizes what he's doing the doctor is on the floor looking up at him terror evident on his face. Never taking his eyes off the doctor he gentle lifts his daughter from the table and heads for the door.
When he starts down the hall toward the doors that Hellboy and the others had just come threw he heres the doctor start to follow before a crack. Abe turns and blinks as Manning shakes out his hand. As Abe's gaze travels to the doctor who is rubbing his jaw from his spot on the floor he hears Hellboy chuckle. "I think we missed somethin big."
A slight wheezing sound from near his chest draws his attention. As Anahita blinks up at him Abe resumes his course out of the med ward and down the hall.
Abby slowly blinks her eyes open trying to figure out what woke her. As she shifts she see's Liz in the doorway staring down the hall with a shocked look. "What happened? Where's Ana?"
Liz jumps and glances at her before yell down the hall at Red. She then turns and walks over to Abby.
"You father just punched the doctor for trying to stop Abe from taking her. Abe took her out of the ward. Think you're strong enough to find him."
As Red and the guys come in Abby glances around the room and gives a slight growl of frustration before looking at Hellboy. "Can I borrow your coat red?"
Several minutes later the small group walks into the library. The others giving Abby a confused look as she waves for them to wait there as she climbs the stairs.
Several minutes pass before the Shutter over the tank starts to raise. As it reaches about half clear they see Abby, now in a black full bathing suit, swim down past the opening.
The small group walks up to the tank and Hellboy chuckles as Manning comments, "I told the doctor thats what she needed!"
Abe feels her before she even reaches the water. "I'm so sorry we were late love."
He hears a slight shushing noise before the shutter starts to open. He opens he's eyes and looks up as she swims to where he is laying, slightly propped up by the wall, Anahita laying on face down on his chest asleep with one of his hands keeping her in place.
Abby smiles and nudges her forehead against his, her mask preventing much else. She then curls up on the side with his free arm and curls into his side, one hand resting over him on their daughter as his other arm wraps around her.
Abe kisses the top of her head and glances up to see Liz and John shooing the others away from the tank. He then gently kisses their daughter and allows himself to drift to sleep as well.
Abe was harshly drawn back to reality a very short time later by a shrill screeching very close to his ear. As he opens his eyes he feels the slight weight on his chest disappear and the screeching is no longer in his ear. Thats when he sees that the screeching is Anahita. As Abby starts to swim to the surface of the tank with her Abe hears Hellboy from the library.
"Well she's making noise now!!!"
Abe chuckles and follows Abby up. As he breaks the surface he notes that Anahita's cries sound more of an extra loud babies cry then the screech it had been in the water. As he pulls himself out of the water Liz comes in with a bottle and comments, "Well it seems Scarlet has a run for her money now."
Abby rolls her eyes and shifts Anahita, whose now wrapped in a fluffy deep blue towel, before taking the bottle, "You shoulda heard her in the water! Also I take it I should thank you for threating that Asshole doctor into using the diapers Kevners had made for her?"
Liz laughed and nodded before a speakered crash is heard from near her hip. She flinches and waves a quick goodbye yelling down the stairs as she leaves, "Red, your children just broke something!" Abby and Abe start laughing as Hellboy replies, "How is it when they do something wrong their My children!?!"
Abby fights to suppress her giggles as she looks down at Anahita. "I hope we don't have to have that conversation about you?" Abby giggles as Anahita tilts her head like her daddy and give a 'who me' kind of look.
Abe chuckles and kisses the top of Anahita's head before looking to Abby. "I have this odd feeling that we will have all of those conversations a lot sooner than we should. If she understood us before she was born there is no possible reason to assume she wouldn't be now."
Abby groans before cocking her head to the side and scrunching up her brows. Abe blinks and follows her line of sight to the little gathering of bubbles in the bottle. Abby wiggles the bottle a bit before Anahita lets go and when she lifts it up Abe can see I tiny row of puncture marks around the nipple.
Abby and Abe look at each other than back at Anahita who is starting to fuss and is waving her arms at the bottle. Abby narrows her eyes before gently blowing in Anahita's face. Anahita scrunches up her face and Abe catches a slight flash of white. Abby hands him the bottle before placing her index finger gently against Anahita's lip and nudging open her mouth.
After a few seconds of moving her finger around she gives a start and as she draws back her hand Abe sees a bead of blood forming on her finger. Abby stares at him in shock, "She has a full set of little pointy teeth!!!"
Abe blinks and runs his finger down Anahita's cheek casing her to squirm and coo. When she does Abe sees a little row of pointy teeth.
Abby huff, "Well I'm glad I decided to use the damn pump! The little piranha would be getting more blood than milk!"
Abe chuckles and ducks his head as Abby glares at him before taking Anahita and placing the bottle back in her mouth. Her little hands come up as if to hold the bottle herself and as her one hand rest on his he feels a flash of contentment.
Abby mock glares at Anahita, "Well i'm glad you find the situation funny too!" She huffs and flashes Abe a grin before stating she's going to change and take a nap if he doesn't mind.
Abe nods and as Abby walks down the hall he sits on the edge of the tank. Anahita blinks up at him and he smiles. "So I wonder how much you understand water lily?" After he calls her water lily he feels the flash of happiness again. She then gives a slight shiver, and then he sees a flash of the image he had seen way back when Abby was only a few months pregnant.
Abe chuckles, "Cold little one?" He feels a flash of annoyance and Anahita seems to glare up at him. He chuckles again and tugs on the bottle, when she doesn't let go he chuckles again. "You have to let go so I can get you out of the towel."
Almost immediately she releases the bottle and Abe chuckles again. "You are going to be a handful." After he pulls the towel off and tosses it over to the chair before slipping into the water and grabbing the bottle.
He then floats on his back so Anahita's body, which is resting on his chest, is in the water up to her gills with her hands now back on the sides of the bottle. Abe chuckles and thinks to himself that with how smart and powerful she seems to be it will only be a matter of weeks before she can hold it herself.
He gives a deeper laugh when he hears Abby in his head, "Do you think she's going to swim before anything else?" Abe smiles down at Anahita, who looks upset about being jostled by his laughter, and replies, "I'd count on it!"
