Fatherhood At Its Finest
Chapter 7: The Babies Coming, The Babies Coming!
Preview: After Sly Cooper returns from Ancient Egypt after the events of the fourth game, the gang and Carmelita return to there everyday lives... as in stealing and fighting crime. But after almost four months, a new epidemic arises. Carmelita is pregnant, with Sly's baby! After learning this, the four friends must work together to not only keep the unborn child alive, but try to continue with there own careers.
Sly awoke one night to hear Carmelita's breath sound off, he rolled over and nearly fainted as he saw Carmelita crying as she clutched her very large stomach.
"SLY! WAKE UP! THE BABIES COMING!" Carmelita screamed as she tried to calm down.
Sly panicked as he grabbed he phone and called Murray to bring Bentley and the van to the apartment. Bentley and Murray sped through traffic until they finally reached there best friends side to take Carmelita to the hospital, when they got there, they could see that both Sly and Carmelita were in hysterics. Murray rushed to carry Carmelita to the van and rested her on the mattress in the back with Sly clutching her hand as he knew that the grip was breaking his fingers, but he didn't care, he needed to be there for his lover and mate.
"Hurry Murray!" Bentley urged the pink hippo as he drove through the city of lights and tried to find a hospital.
Sly suddenly realized something. "WAIT! If we do go to a hospital they'll arrest me as soon as they see me, I need to be there for Carmelita!"
"Don't worry Sly, I've been talking to a certain hospital that would be happy to keep this babies birth a secret from the world." Bentley explained, but he could tell that the raccoon was worried sick about Carmelita.
By the time they got there, Carmelita was already too far in the birth process to be moved inside, so the doctors and nurses came into the van to have the birth hidden behind the hospital where no one would go into during the process. Despite several doctors trying to get Sly to leave, it was useless, he stayed with her until morning. At exactly 2:33 AM February 13th, the baby was born. Sly could barely hold in his excitement as a doctor handed the baby to Carmelita.
Sly nearly fainted with excitement as he saw the baby. "Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked his mate.
"A girl." She answered.
Sly smiled at that, he suddenly realized something. "Look, shes a raccoon!"
"Yep, but you know whats bothering me?" Carmelita asked her mate.
"What?" Sly asked her.
Carmelita shrugged slightly. "Well, she has blue eyes for some reason."
"Hey, my dad had blue eyes too!" Sly suddenly realized. "Boy, would he be proud if he saw his granddaughter now."
Carmelita nodded. "So, what should we name her?"
"Can we PLEASE name her Buffy?" Sly urged, he was met with a defeated sigh.
Carmelita glared at Sly. "Fine. But if we have another child, I'm naming them."
Sly laughed as he was finally allowed to hold Buffy. "You are gonna be such a great thief, just like your old man. Don't worry, one day you'll show me what a great thief you'll be, Buffy."
"Excuse me? I think she'd be the best police officer ever, not a stinking ladrón." Carmelita argued.
Sly scoffed. "I thought are deal was if she was a raccoon then I could at the very least show her all of the Cooper moves."
"Yes, but who says she'd want to be a thief when she could be a police officer like her mother? After all, if she has my blood she'd make a perfect cop and would be an investigator in no time at all." Carmelita argued, the nurses couldn't help but giggle at that.
Sly smirked at Carmelita. "That maybe true, Carm. But if Buffy follows in my footsteps, she'll be head over heels for a thief in no time flat!"
"Actually... OH NO! THEY'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME IF THEY WANT A PIECE OF MY HIJA!" Carmelita yelled, causing Buffy to cry.
Sly rocked the baby with a smirk still on his face. "Now look what you've done, I thought that the mood swings ended when you gave birth. Oh wait, I forgot, your always like this." He was met with a slap to the face from Carmelita.
The rest of the gang laughed as they watched the happyish couple. "Oh Murray, just think of it, now we have a new member to the gang!"
"Oh yeah! This is gonna be AWESOME!" Murray yelled before fist pumping in the air as he sat in the drivers seat.
After a few days, the couple and the guys were allowed to go back to the apartment to take the baby home. Sly awoke one night as it was his turn to take care of Buffy after she awoke crying in the middle of the night, he clambered out of bed lazily and dragged himself to the crib across from the bed. He quickly rocked Buffy until she was asleep again, Carmelita smiled at her mate as he plopped back into bed.
"Geez, who knew she'd cry so much?" He asked no one in particular.
Carmelita smirked at Sly. "Its your fault for knocking me up, Cooper."
"You know, I've thinking, how many wallets do you think someone can pickpocket from a baby stroller?" Sly asked Carmelita as he leaned on his arm facing her.
Carmelita glared at Ringtail. "Listen dumbass, don't even THINK of teaching her to pickpocket civilians until shes at least six or seven!"
"Oh, so you accept her being a thief now?" Sly asked his mate happily, gosh, Carmelita wondered how Sly could still keep up his cool guy facade when he's been up for at least three days thanks to the baby.
Carmelita shrugged. "I sure as hell don't LIKE it, but I can't change who you are or who are child is. Secretly I knew deep down that if she was a raccoon that she'd become a thief, but, I was actually hoping for a raccoon."
"Whys that?" Sly asked her, a hint of seriousness entering his voice.
Carmelita scratched her head nervously. "After you told me about how one day you may not come back, well... I wanted the baby to look like you so that I'd still have a Ringtail with me, even if you were gone."
"Well, I'm not going anywhere right now. So don't worry, okay?" Sly asked his mate as he rolled over to hopefully get some freaking sleep.
Carmelita nodded as she too rolled over to get some sleep. "I'll try." She whispered.
A/N: Here it is! Buffy is finally born and this is awesome! Please R&R!
