Disclaimer: I do not own the Jurassic park book or PRDT except Deliciae.
Kira's house
Kira sat on her bed, reading a book Doctor Oliver had given her as a graduation present. She felt something tug on her pant leg. Looking over the top of her book, she saw Deliciae tugging on her jeans. "What up sweetheart?" Kira asked. Deliciae scrambled over and sat in Kira's lap and pointed at the book.
"Can you read me the story mumma?" Deliciae asked. Kira looked down at Deliciae, her gentle amber eyes gleaming. "Fine." Kira replied. It always sort of got her in the heart when ever Deliciae called her 'mumma' "You might get bored…" Kira said but was cut off by the pleading, "I promise, no bored. Read, please?" Now it got to the begging. "This is more of a grown up book. There is swearing."
"Swearing?"
"Bad words."
"Can you read me a little piece, with no bad words?"
"Only a little piece, then go get a different book."
Deliciae settled herself more comfortably. Kira began to read. "…'I'll be joining you for dinner and answer any remaining questions you may have then. Now, if you go with Mr. Regis' The group followed Ed Regis towards the nearest buildings. Over the path a crude hand painted sign read: 'Welcome to Jurassic Park'" Deliciae looked up at Kira. "That all?" she asked, unhappily. "Yeah." Kira replied. Deliciae appeared sullen for the moment then brightened up. She scrambled off Kira's lap and to her small bed in the corner.
She dug under her bed for a few seconds before pulling out a sort of large kid's book. "Tommy book!" Deliciae said, desperately trying to heave it onto Kira's lap. Kira picked it up and recognized it instantly as the book Doctor Oliver gave Deliciae. It was sort of beaten up from constant reading and thumbing of pages with sharp claws. The cover had bright colorful creatures on it at it said, "All About Dinosaurs." on the cover in brilliant block letters. "This one again? What about the Danny…"
"No, I want this one!"
"Okay, okay fine…"
Kira began to read the book as soon as she helped Deliciae back on the bed. "Thanks a ton Dr. O!" she thought. "You're a real life saver when it comes to this." ROAR! Deliciae attempted to squeak the fearsome "rexy noise." (As she put it) They were almost at the end of the back when Deliciae yawned.
Deliciae's eyelids drooped and she leaned over softly and fell asleep. Kira heard her cell phone ring. "Ahh…crud!" she hissed. She stretched out a cautious arm and snagged her phone off her end table. "Hi!" Dr. Oliver said. "Yeah, hi, you could've called at a better time. The monster fell asleep and she isn't moving anytime soon. She figured that my stomach is a good pillow.
"Sorry, I was just checking in on how you were all doing."
"Great, absolutely smashing. It would be better if I could move at this present time."
"So when are you going to tell the boys that you have Deliciae with you?"
"When they are old enough to not spaz when the find a remnant of their worst enemy's legacy hiding in their best friend's room and another hiding in the woods behind your house!"
"What about Trent? Technically speaking Deliciae is his step sister. So Lupos is still around? "
"Umm, he'd probably kill her. Yeah, Lupos is still around, he watches Deliciae for me sometimes."
"Oh, didn't realize it was that bad. Well that's good, at least I don't always have to be the babysitter. "
"No, I trust Lupos only to watch her for about five minutes, anything more then that, they'd both be in trouble."
"Great…"
"By the way, thanks for the book. Deliciae loves it."
"You're welcome."
"We were just reading it."
"Nice."
"Oh, and Dr. O?
"Yeah?"
"You know how I told you about the scars?"
"Yes…what about them?"
"It's burning, not like an infection, but it burns sometimes. Do you think, if it is at all possible, that Mesogog is still alive?"
"No, I don't think. After the beating we gave him, no, I'm sorry Kira, he's most likely dead."
"Okay, thanks, bye."
Okay, bye then."
Dr. Oliver hung up. Kira sighed and picked Deliciae up. It was getting late and they both needed sleep. Kira placed Deliciae in her little bed and tucked in the blanket around her scaly form. Deliciae moved slightly in her sleep and grabbed onto a stuffed stego near her paw. "Good night." Kira whispered, kissing Deliciae on the forehead. Deliciae mumbled something in her sleep.
Kira got into her own bed. She fell asleep slowly knowing that she would be woken up in an hour by Deliciae, who would ask her to take her to the bathroom, and then three hours later (by Deliciae) because she had to go again. Then she'd wake Kira up again because it was morning. Then they'd eat, Kira would get dressed and go into the woods with Deliciae. They'd meet up with Lupos; Kira would have to fish both out of trouble, the whole nine yards. Then it would be night time and the whole cycle would start over. "Damn," Kira said sleepily, "Motherhood is hard work." Just think of what Mesogog had to go through. Death for him was probably mercy. She thought. Kira laughed herself to sleep.
Next morning…
Kira felt the tapping on her shoulder. "It's morning mumma." Deliciae said. Kira opened her eyes and got out of bed. "Okay, come on…" They went to down the stairs where Kira was cornered by her mother. Mrs. Ford gave her daughter a talking too. "Kira, you know I want you to find where that thing came from…" Kira rolled her eyes. "I know mum, I know."
Kira walked crest-fallen into the kitchen. Her mother was suspicious and was probing too deep. Too deep for comfort, if she went any farther she would find out about her and other rangers… "Mum, the box…" Kira heard a dismayed squeak as a cereal box fell. Kira would worry about that later, right now they needed breakfast and Deliciae might destroy the kitchen if she didn't act fast enough…
Author's notes: Okay, this might seem pointless but this section is to show you who she told and who she lied too and what survived. I wanted to keep Lupos alive because he is going to play a part in the sequel (even though sort of small). Well, I hope this rounds things off better then chapter six did! Signing off!
