Prt.3- Getting their act together
10 sighed heavily as he watched the talisman roll across the workbench he was laying against, one arm tucked under his head and the other one lying off the table like it was broken. He was once again in deep thought of 13 and her condition, not even hearing the commotion going on down the hall between her and Spencer.
The pale male was worried, worried because he knew in only a short amount of time his mate would be ready to have her, no their kids souls removed from her body. It was so silly but, the ragdoll born from the deadly machine was scared at the thought of being a father. He only knew of fatherhood from his parent and now the universe was asking him to be one in return.
Sure he had found 13 after believing she was gone from his life forever, had courted her, had put up with the striped male because she loved him, and had figured out that his life as a machine born being didn't mean that was all he had to be, but starting a family was something else completely…
To far gone was his mind that 10 didn't even hear the striped panic stricken male he only referred to as Sixpence come bolting into the room like the end of life itself was behind him. Spencer panted out heavily and began jumping and pointing down the hall in a odd display that just barely got 10's attention.
"White Boy," he panted out, "We have a problem that needs fixing. Like now!"
10 just rolled his slanted eyes at Spencer and turned back to fiddle with the talisman in absent thoughts again, not really wanting to get into it with the striped male right now.
"Whatever your idiotic mind or antics have broken we can fix later," 10 huffed out, "I'm so not in the mood right now…."
Spencer blinked in surprise before frowning at 10 not understanding that he was trying to get his attention. He stopped his nervous bounces to instead cross his arms in anger and glare at the back of 10's head, which he now considered whether thick.
"I'm being serious here. We need to…" he started but was cur off by 10's humorless laugh that made Spencer wish he had a rock to throw at him.
"Oh, you're being serious?" 10 asked, not obviously not really caring a Spencer's answer. "Well be carful there Sixpence. You know what happens when you think too much and try to be serious, maybe I should give you some room to explode when you fail and get frustrated right?"
It was a good thing for Spencer that 10 was facing away from him because that meant the tall pale male couldn't see his smirk or the fact that he had removed the pin in his left ankle to remove his foot. The striped male bounced his detached foot in his hand for a minute before he threw it right at 10, smacking to stunned male in the back of his 'thick' head!
"Hey!" 10 yelled out well spinning around and glaring at the shorter male like he wished he could burn him to ashes with just his eyes. He flexed his bladed claws out and growled out in the same manner as an unhappy cat beast. "You are dead Sixpence! I don't care if 13 finds you amusing, I am soooo going to kill you!"
Spencer just rolled his eyes at the threatening display; oddly not fazed at the male at all well he simply hopped on one leg well trying to reattach his left foot again. "I am not! I am so live right now that there should be a caution sign about live wires in this house. But we can kill each other some other time, 13 needs you for some reason."
10 now blinked in surprise as his temper calmed and he switched from murderous anger for Spencer to deep concern for 13 and his unborn children. "What did you do to her Sixpence? So help me, if you upset her…Ah!"
He blinked in surprise and anger once again as Spencer smiled, he had smacked 10 on the face again with his foot before getting it back into place on his ankles. The striped male chuckled at annoying the soon to be father, right before he remembered why he needed to get the males attention so badly.
"If anyone upset her it's you, you disgusting waste of space!" he declared, sighing at 10's confused look, "I didn't do anything to Baker's Dozen and, stop rolling your eyes ever time I call her that; I was with her and she was glowing like a fourth of July glow stick!"
10's face now went into shear panic that made Spencer's own mind worried, if 10 was concerned than it was likely for good reason.
"She was also acting like she was in pain…" he adding in quietly, not scared of 10 but of what he'd said was wrong with 13 right now.
"Oh, creator…" 10 gasped out before he quickly turned back to the workbench and grabbed the talisman, along with some cable in a very fast motion that only made Spencer worry his sister figure was dying as they spoke.
"Spencer I need you to go into my workspace and get the bodies we worked on for the new souls," 10 said as he gathers a few things like he didn't want to come back anytime soon.
"Um, and why am I doing you any favors there dude?" Spencer asked in a layed back hippie voice, one that annoyed 10 greatly as he stopped his actions to glare at the male in question. He than smirk deviously as he held the items, wondering what Spencer was going to do when he told him; if he told him.
He didn't get the chance to however as both male yelped and covered their audio sensors when a loud pain filled scream erupted from the hall; it of course could only belong to one person in the whole house.
"Baker's Dozen!" Spencer gasped out when he removed his hands to instead begin slapping 10 against the chest, "What on earth have you done to her boy?! She sounds like she dying in there! I demand to know what is going on with her, right…now!"
Spencer blinked in shock as 10 grew annoyed by his aggression and had actually picked him up and slung the smaller male over his shoulder before picking his stuff back up from the floor and than walking down the hall to where 13 was. The whole time walking, Spencer was beating his fist against 10's shoulder and back.
"Put me down!" he yelled in a pretty convincing angry voice, "This is not going to end well if you do not put me down right now! I'm warning you White Boy! You will feel my unholy wrath of the Striped Death if you don't put me down right..."
At that moment 10 flopped the striped male down outside the room 13 was in without even batting an eye and than just casually walked into the room to his mate. Spencer had a deep scowl on his face well pulling himself off the floor and pushed back up into an upright position. "Now" he finished he earlier sentence before walking in after 10; planning on dismantle the male when this was over.
When he got in though, Spencer could almost swear that he felt the oil inside him run cold at what he saw; 10 was standing beside the bed and was looking at 13 with a soft concerned face as he gently rubbed her on the shoulder in reassurance. But what the only thing Spencer was focused on was the female in the bed, for she was glowing in green flashes and it looked like she had ripped deep claw marks in the wood on the bed, meaning she was in a great deal of pain. She looked completely worse for wear.
"Is she okay?" he asked out in a frightened quite voice, honestly not caring about killing the pale male right now as he only worried about what could possible be wrong with 13 right now.
"Yeah, she fine Sixpence," 10 assured as he stopped rubbing 13 when she curled up into a pain filled groan. "Well she's okay more or less. I can't really explain now, I gotta get the stuff ready."
And with that 10 moved away from 13 and began to set stuff up, attaching two cords to the talisman and placing it down at the foot of the bed when done. He than began to examine 13 when she finally stopped whimpering and uncurled to let 10 look her over, both her and Spencer hoping he could explain what was happening right now, though Spencer did have a small idea.
10 felt the females soul pulse, checked how warm she had become and pushed against her middle lightly and other things that Spencer found completely useless when 13 screamed out in pain again. He was getting very angry that she was in pain and 10 was acting like he couldn't hear her at all! 'I am so gonna kill him if something doesn't change soon…'
Spencer's thoughts were interrupted when 13 stopped screaming and panted out deeply, another set of claw marks on the bed frame again. "What's going on 10?" she asked out in heavy pants, "Is there something wrong with me or the pups?"
10 glanced to Spencer in an annoyed glare, not believingly that the striped male hadn't figured it out himself and told 13 before getting him. He sighed when seeing Spencer glaring just anger if not more so right back at him. He decided that there was no use trying to stale this and just come clean and tell his mate what was happen to her right now.
"13," he started, taking one of her small clawed hands into his bladed one, "You're about to become a parent..."
The female huffed in irritation, caused by her pain and not understanding what 10 was getting at. "I already know that!" she yelled as another wave of pain hit her and she squeezed against her mate's hand, causing him to wince and Spencer to snicker at the display.
"Sorry Ktten," 10 said when she stopped squeezing and just began to breathe shakily again, she already looked so exhausted and if frightened 10 knowing she had no idea what stitchpup birth entitled. "What I meant was, in a very short amount of time, you're actually going to be able to hold our babies soon…very soon."
Now both 13 and Spencer stared to the pale male in shock, they couldn't have heard that one correctly right? 13 began to pant in fear now over shock and Spencer was swaying slightly on his feet, looking very unstable.
"So what you're saying," 13 said, placing her free hand to her burning glowing middle, "You're saying that I'm going to be a mother today? I'm going to have the pups right…right…" she stumbled as she tried to finish the sentence but couldn't, it was to terrifying to say.
10 seemed to pick up on this and nodded softly and he held onto her hand tightly, letting her know that he was there for her in this moment of change. Both of their lives were about to change as they become something else, something besides just mates.
"That's right Kitten," he said softly, leaning forward to place a soft kiss on her cheek before pulling back and looking her squarely in her fear rippled eyes of teal. "Your about to become a mama and are having the pups right here, right now."
Before 13 could so much as gasp at this confession, both beastpunks heard a quiet 'Oh, scrap' and than a heavy thud of something hitting the floor besides the bed that both parents were in.
The two looked down and saw that Spencer, right after hearing 13 was indeed having her babies' right this moment, had passed out cold on the floor in a sad heap. 10 blinked in surprise well 13 just gave a sad look knowing he had probably been over stressed with the odd situation.
He was like 13 and knew little to nothing on how sitchpups were born, but the female wished he wouldn't have made the situation even harder on her right now. Thankfully, 10 seemed to read her mind and gave her a wave a dismissal to looking upset at seeing her friend on the ground.
"Just let him be," 10 said in an amused tone, "His less trouble down there and I find him much more enjoyable like this."
Before anything else was said, 13 gave her mate a swift kick in his gut for saying that about her friend, 10 give a strained yelp of pain before getting up and scooting away from his mate deadly aim and anger, this was going to be a long day…and they hadn't even began yet.
