Apologies if this isn't like really accurate. My sister is adopted. xD
Also, if you're wondering how Candice is 7 months, go read the author's note at the bottom of the last chapter =)
"Leilani?"
I instinctively grab my pillow and slap the person. "Do you have a clue what time it is?"
"Yeah, it's 1:30 AM." The voice laughs, and I realize it's Chris. "It's time, though. You coming?"
"Chris!" Aviva calls from the other room. "Can you PLEASE hurry up?"
"Uh, yeah!" I jump out of bed and grab a T-shirt and jeans.
"Coming, Aviva!" Chris laughs and leaves, so I can get changed. I change into a dark pink T-shirt and jeans, then grab my silver jacket. I whistle and Luna wakes up. She runs over to me and we walk out the door together.
"Hey, Martin?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"Your shirt's on backwards and inside out," I reply, looking at my nails.
"It is? Be right back!"
Martin runs off into the Tortuga, probably to change his shirt. Everyone laughs, then I realize Jimmy and Koki are missing. "Uh, what happened to Jimmy and Koki?"
"They said they'd watch the Tortuga," Chris answers.
"Can Martin go any slower?" Aviva asks, sounding annoyed. And I realize- it probably hurts. Oh, right. I'm not stupid. I wonder if Martin forgot. I wonder how Aviva's keeping quiet about it.
"I'm back!" Martin exclaims, running out of the Tortuga, and his shirt's on properly. I roll my eyes.
On the ride to the hospital, I fall asleep. In fairness, that's a typical me if you wake me up at 1:30 AM (cough CHRIS KRATT cough). The only thing that wakes me up is Luna jumping off my lap and onto the sidewalk curb. Jeez, Luna, that hurts!
"Ow!" I exclaim. Luna makes a kind of whining sound, and I roll my eyes. "I still love you."
"Um, miss, dogs aren't allowed," the receptionist lady says. Chris fills out a form and Aviva leans on him. Martin
"Okay." I shrug, and Luna and I walk into the waiting room. The lady sighs and stops us, pointing at Luna.
"No dogs."
"She's not technically a dog. She's a gray wolf. And technically, dogs are descendants of wolves." I smirk, leaning against the reception desk. "So, she is allowed."
"She's a Husky." The lady narrows her eyes.
"Oh, by the way, did you happen to read my parents' hospital form or whatever you have to do? The sign in?" I ask, grabbing the clipboard and reading it. "Name... Aviva Corcovado-Kratt. Spouse, Chris Kratt. Children... Leilani Corcovado-Kratt. Oh, hey. That's me."
I smirk and hand the form back to the lady, who stands there, shocked, Luna and I walk into the waiting room and Candice asks, "What took you so long?"
"Thought Luna was a dog." I sit by Candice, grabbing my Creature Pod from my pocket. It's... what, 6 AM in Scotland? Natalia would be so mad at me. She'd totally kill me. And it's 1:30 AM. Gavin's asleep. Again. I. Am. So. Bored.
Gavin, I text, If you're up, then you should totally talk to me.
He probably won't be up. But, oh well, I tried.
"NO! DONALD TRUMP IS LEADING IN THE POLLS!" (A/N NO HATE TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS!)
I instantly wake up and look at the clock- is it seriously morning? A teenage girl walks in, staring at her phone. I check my Creature Pod, and sure enough, 15 minutes ago, Gavin texted back: Sorry. Did it happen yet?
Not yet I text back. The teen girl keeps obsessing about Donald Trump, when honestly, I couldn't care less. Unless Donald Trump starts destroying the environment. Then I'll show up at the White House and be like, Really, Mr. President? REALLY? But that probably won't change anything. He'd be all no and stuff since I'm just your average 15 (ALMOST 16!) year old girl.
"Hey, Leilani, what do you want for your birthday?" Candice asks.
"I have no idea!" I answer. "Hey, your baby will be due right around then, right?"
"Yeah." She smiles. "So that's why I'm getting your present now."
"Smart, smart." I smirk, then look down at my Creature Pod. Gavin texted back- Darn. Send me pictures.
I'm so bored! AHHHH!
He waits a minute before texting back. Look up things to do? I'm going shopping soon... what do you want for your birthday?
I don't know, lol, maybe candy? I shrug, then it comes to me. Ooh! Books! And maybe some makeup. IDK.
You're not making this easy. -Gavin
Sorry. -Me
That's okay. Miss you. The text is followed by a few heart emojis. Aww.
You, too. I text back. I want the baby already!
Send me a pic of you and him/her when its herr! Gavin texts, followed by *here.
"Who are you texting?" Candice asks, grabbing my Creature Pod.
Suddenly a nurse walks out, breaking the silence. Her hair's in a ponytail and she kind of reminds me of Molly Hooper from Sherlock. Brown hair and not too tall.
"Uh, Kratt? Or Corcovado-Kratt?" she asks. "Sorry, these papers are out of control.
"That's me!" Martin, Candice and I all answer at the same time. "Uh..."
"It's happened." The nurse smiles. "So, if you'll just follow me..."
Candice, Martin and I all skip down the hallway. Screw maturity! Luna follows, singing/howling with us.
"Um... you passed it."
"Oh. Right."
We all walk into the room, smiling. This is one of the best moments ever. I smile, walking over to Chris and Aviva. Luna sits on one side of the bed.
"Hey." Aviva smiles, holding a little pink bundle. "Meet your new little sister. Wanna hold her?"
"Yeah," I reply, taking the little bundle. She has Aviva's gray eyes and Chris' tanned skin tone. "What's her name?"
"Adeline Emily Kratt."
"Aww." Candice smiles, brushing some hair out of her face. "She's adorable!"
"Congrats, bro. Congrats, Aviva." Martin smiles, putting his arm on Chris' shoulder.
"Thanks." Aviva smiles. "So?"
"So?" I raise an eyebrow.
"What do you think?" Chris asks.
"I think she's perfect." I smile. "Oh, can someone take a picture for Gavin?"
"Sure. Where's your Creature Pod?" Chris asks.
"I have it." Candice hands it to Chris, who takes it with his right hand.
"Aren't you left handed?" I ask.
"Aviva broke my left hand!" he whispers.
"I heard that!" Aviva exclaims, but not offensively. "Sorry!"
"That's okay." Chris replies as he takes the picture.
I laugh, and so does Adeline. Chris takes the picture, and hopefully it looks okay. I hand Adeline back to Aviva and look at the picture. I look good enough- no hair is in my face, nice white smile, and kind of a glow. Like, a regal glow. It kind of looks like it was photoshopped, but it isn't. It's weird, but a cool weird. I decide to send it to Gavin. So her name's Adeline Emily Kratt!
Aww! Gavin texts back.
"Mrs. Corcovado-Kratt, we'll need to see your baby for medical reasons." The Molly Hooper-like nurse walks over to the bed, sets down a thick packet and takes Adeline before leaving the room.
"What's this?" Aviva asks, taking the packet.
"Even better question: how'd it all get stapled?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Everything a New Family Needs to Know," Chris reads, looking over Aviva's shoulder. "Hmm."
Chris and Aviva read the packet with Martin and Candice, who are preparing and stuff. Me, I don't have to worry about my OWN kids for like, 10 years. So I call Natalia.
"Natalia!" I exclaim.
"Did it happen yet? Did it? Did it?!" Natalia shrieks.
"Jeez! Not so loud!" I mutter. "And yes! Her name's Adeline Emily Kratt!"
"Oh my god!" she squeals. "Where is she?"
"The nurse took her," I reply. "For some medical reasons. But I got to hold her!"
"You have to take her to Ireland! And send me a picture! Like, now!" Natalia disconnects the call and the screen goes black. I send her the picture, and she texts back an emoji with hearts for eyes.
"It's a perfect day." I smile, looking out the window. "Uh, since when are hospitals overrun with reporters?"
"When you're us!" Chris answers, laughing. "Go talk to them if you want."
"I can yell at them from up here!" I exclaim, opening the window and sticking my head out. "HEY! All of you! Adeline Emily Kratt was born at... wait, what time?"
"8:39:47," Aviva answers.
"8:39:47!" I repeat. "So, yeah! And she's cute! Bye!"
I shut the window and curtains, and Luna walks over. I pet her, smiling. Today is one of the best days of my life.
Happy birthday, Adeline Emily Kratt.
So... Kaitlyn (guest) suggested Adeline where my real life friend suggested Emily.
