A/N: Like I said last chapter, I was going to see 'The Conjuring' but my mom chickened out and we saw 'The Wolverine' instead. And there was supposed to be a gory 'Walking Dead' style birth scene, but the cliffhanger meant we were gonna pass that scene. So enjoy!
Angel then reached into the bleeding cut that she made in Claire's stomach with Chandler's switchblade and the touch of Angel's paws inside her stomach made her scream in pain.
"Sorry" Angel apologized. She then took out the crying infant. The child was a beautiful image of Claire only his hair was gray and his skin was purple like Brock.
"Chandler, come over here and cut the umbilical cord" Angel said. Chandler took the switchblade and softly cut through the cord and then placed the knife back on the table. Angel then took the staple gun into her paw.
"I've only seen this happen in 'Prometheus' so I hope not to mess up"Angel said. She took the staple gun and sealed up Claire's stomach with the staples. Claire screamed in pain every time a staple pierced her skin. Now a line of silver staples sealed the cut. Randy took the baby and washed it up with the water and towels he took from the bathroom.
Moments later. Claire was lying down on the coffee table still, and all of 'First Watch' was sitting on the sofas and chairs, wiping sweat off their foreheads and washing the blood off themselves from the birth. Claire looked to the soldiers and spoke.
"Thank you. I didn't think I'd be able to get through this. But you all gave me hope by helping me, thank you" Bug stood up and spoke.
"We'll think of this as a silver lining. It shows us that even in the darkest times when all seems lost and we're losing who we are to the demons inside, there is hope hidden behind all of it" Brock and Claire looked down at their newborn son and smiled. Maybe he was right, maybe their child was a beacon of hope for all of them.
"So, what are you gonna name him?" Mike asked. Brock looked down and spoke to Claire.
"I think we both agreed on the same name, right?" he asked.
"Yeah" she said with a smile.
"Adam" they both said. Adam cooed in his mother's arms and reached his hands out for Sulley.
"I think he likes you" Randy said. Sulley got on his knees and Claire handed Adam to Sulley. Sulley took the baby in his paws and held it lovingly.
"Who knew something simple as a child coming into the world could make someone so happy" Sulley muttered happily as a single tear of joy fell from his eye.
"Can it be my turn?" Mike asked. He handed Mike the baby. The cyclops then began playing 'Gitchi-gitchi-goo' with Adam. Adam then grabbed Mike's eyelid and let go.
"Ow!" he exclaimed. Adam giggled and clapped his small hands. Randy then picked up the baby and then he started playing with the reptilian's glasses.
"Yes, those are my glasses" Randy said with a happy sigh of relief.
"Glasses" Adam said. They all gasped.
"Brock, Adam's first word!" Claire cheered.
"Glasses" Brock said simply. They all burst into tiny fits of small laughter at the baby. Mike then walked up to Sulley.
"Sulley, I never got to thank you" Mike said.
"For what?" Sulley asked with a smile.
"For always sticking by us. Without you, I don't know where I'd get my confidence from. And like that baby, you're my beacon of hope. We may have been enemies before, but after this field trapped everyone, we got to know more and more about each other and you gave me the strength I never had to fight for the right to live" Mike explained.
"No problem, pal" Sulley said. Mike then placed his hand on Sulley's back and Sulley did the same to Mike. But then they were wide eyed and they were shaking.
"Guys, guys are you okay?" Randy asked. The both of them fell to the ground on their backs and they were twitching uncontrollably, their hands were positioned Gangnam style.
"Red stars form the Destroyer" they both said at the same time. Foam was coming out of their mouths and their eyes rolled to the back of their heads.
"Guys!" Angel said. The seizures Mike and Sulley were having was making Adam cry.
"Red stars form the Destroyer. Red stars form the Destroyer. Red stars form the Destroyer. Red stars form the Destroyer" Mike and Sulley repeated over and over again as they had their seizures. Just as about Angel was about to tell Chandler to go get help, they stopped having the seizures and they got up off the floor holding their heads in their hands.
"What happened?" Sulley asked, he spoke with a tone that sounded like he was having a terrible headache. Mike rubbed his eye and placed a hand on his poor aching head. The two looked to the other 'First Watch' members and Oozma Kappa brothers. They gave them stares of worry.
"Why are you staring at us like that?" Mike asked.
"You were having seizures all of a sudden" Chandler said with a hint of attitude in his voice.
"And you were talking about something in the middle of them. Something about red stars forming something called 'The Destroyer'" Said Randy.
"Woah-woah-woah, wait! Red stars?" Sulley asked in confusion.
"And what's 'The Destroyer'? That makes no sense at all" Mike said.
"I don't know either. But we can only hope we can get more answers soon" Bug said. Randy handed Adam back to Claire and she got up from off the coffee table and looked over to the others.
"We'd better get doing, thank you again" Brock thanked. They exchanged goodbyes and left. Bug picked up his Uzi and signaled for everyone to get ready to go out on patrol.
"Sulley, Mike, maybe you'd better sit this one out. I don't want anymore of those seizures in the middle of when we're fighting something we may encounter: Alien, robot monster, psycho student, or anything" Bug said. Sulley and Mike were against it, but they didn't wanna argue. A few minutes later, everyone took their guns and left. When the room was empty, Mike and Sulley looked at each other.
"What do you think caused those seizures?" Mike asked.
"I started to feel them when we touched" Sulley said.
"Do you think that's what triggered it?" the cyclops asked.
"Only one way to find out" Sulley took out his smart phone and set it to record a video.
"What are you doing?" Mike asked.
"Recording everything that happens so we can see whats happening to us" Sulley explained. They got on their knees and stood in front of one another.
"Alright...One...Two...Three" Mike signaled. They made their index fingers touch E.T. Style. Nothing happened so far.
"Okay, I fell just plain stupid now" Mike said with a giggle. But then they went wide eyed and fell to the ground and continued to have the seizures.
A/N: Wow, crazy chapter huh? First a newborn baby brings everyone joy, then Mike and Sulley start having unexplained seizures. More to come tomorrow! Please review, thanks!
