to make up in lacking in updates, a longer chapter! 2441 words without the A/N! Yay! I drew on my own experience with broken bones as a kid to make Alec's reaction, and I hope I kinda got it right. It's pretty much how I reacted and how my parents did, and if that's not right I'm weird lol! I also wrote the first few paragraphs with how my bf is when he's sick, me in mews place. I had him give me advice as I wrote this to get a better perspective of how a sick person behaves, cause I haven't gotten sick in ages At least not that kinda sick. I am SORTA sick now but it's more of a cough and sore throat so..if I don't update very often thats why!i didn't realize how long this got until I finished it then I'm like "holy celestia" haha! (Yes ima brony deal with it.) See ya later peeps! Thanks for reading!
I wasn't surprised that I got sick so soon after emery, seeing as I was the one to take care of the boy while he was ill.i had insisted mew take care of Alec while I tended to emery, as I didint want her falling ill. Better me then mew. When emery went a full day without being sick, I allowed him back into his and Alec's room. At about 3 in the morning, I awoke to find my stomach out of bed, I flung the bathroom door open just in time to heave the contents of my stomach into the toilet bowl. Groaning, I stood back up, and made my way into the living room, and laid down on the couch. No sense in going back to bed and getting mew sick. I was up and down all night. Just when it seemed I was about to fall asleep, I was getting ready to be sick again. Before I knew it,the sun had risen, and mew was going around the house cleaning up like every morning. This was when she saw me laid out on the couch, half asleep.
"Mewtwo, what on earth are you doing out here?"
I opened my mouth to speak, but instead found sick creeping up my throat and made a mad dash for the bathroom. Mew darted I front of me, with a questioning look, and I tried to get past her to no avail. Knowing it was inevitable, I bent down and vomited on the floor. Mew watched with mild disgust.
"I knew you would get sick..."
When I was finished, I gasped for air, then went back to the couch, not bothering to even try to clean up. The smell of bleach would just make me sick again.
"I'll get it.."
Mew mumbled.
"Thanks mew..."
If called, my voice hoarse.
Within a few minutes, mew came back Into the living room, and the smell of bleach wafted from the hallway. Turning my head away from the smell, I watched silently as mew curled into my side. Scooting away,she shot me a hurt look.
"I don't want to get you sick.."
I mumbled, knowing she would hear me. Mew rolled her eyes.
"I'll get sick no matter what and we both know it mewtwo, so there's no point."
I shrugged as she once again curled into my side, but this time I didn't move, instead opting to put my arm around her and drawing her closer.
I actually fell asleep, but was jolted awake by the sound of the two boys bounding down the hallways after one another. I groaned as my headache throbbed at the loud noise.
"Keep it down you two!"
Mew yelled, and the noise instantly quieted. You would think that he father was the strict one,and the mother the one who spoiled the kids. Not in our family. Whatever mew said, gose, and whatever I say...usually has something to do with buying toys. I looked at mew gratefully, and grunted as a large, warm body hit my torso. Looking down, I saw Alec grinning up at me. I gave a weak smile as he settled down into my lap.
"Alec, please don't. I'm sick, I don't want you getting-"
"AHHHH DADDYS SICK!"
The boy yelled, jumping off my lap and running away.
"Well, don't I feel loved?"
I said. Mew laughed, and I winced as the doorbell rang. With a sigh, I remembered misty and Nurse joy whee visiting today for lunch. Mew got up, and opened the door. Nurse joy poked her head in, then ran over to me as she saw me.
"Oh dear. Are you sick?"
I shrugged.
"I wound up getting whatever emery had."
Joy nodded, and misty walked over to me.
"Hey there."
"Hi.."
I responded, trying my best not to sound as bad as I felt. I got up uneasily as I started to feel the warning signs of getting ready to be sick, and ran to the bathroom, much to Mistys confusion, as she had yet to realize I was sick. I noisily emptied my stomach once again, and when I came back out, it was obvious the two women where trying not to look disgusted. With a shrug, I turned and went back into the bedroom.
About two hours later, mew came in, and poked me.
"Wakey wakey!"
She said, pitching her voice higher the usual. I moaned, and turned over so my back was to her. She poked me again, harder this time.
"Comon, get up!"
I waved my hand at her.
"Im sick. I don't have to get up."
I said, my voice thick with sleep. She poked me yet again. Didint she know when to give up?!
"Comon were all waiting for you!"
I turned to face her then.
"Why?"
She gave me a look as if I was slow.
"Lunch is ready."
I turned back over.
"I'm not hungry.."
Just as I was about to fall back asleep, I felt the bed move, but didint pay much attention to it...until I was entirely dumped onto the floor. I landed on all fours.
"You coulda killed me!"
I yelled. Mew simply giggled.
"Yeah. But I didint."
I rolled my eyes, but allowed her to pull me up and lead me into the dining room.
"Wow, so you actually managed to get him up?"
Misty asked in a astonished voice.
"You just gotta know the right buttons to push!"
Mew said cheerfully. As soon as the boys caught sight of me, they both took off running.
I rolled my eyes.
"Apparently, when me or anyone else in this house is sick, they turn into a horrible monster and if they get within ten feet of you it causes panic."
I said, my voice practically dripping with sarcasm. Nurse joy and misty nodded, both looking as if they where trying not to lead the boys back into the room, holding both my they're tails.
"Now say your sorry."
She said sternly.
"We're sorry..."
They both mummbled, barely audible. I shrugged, and the food started to be passed around. I was happy to find that the smells didint make me sick, or even feel nauseous. We all started swapping stories, and I thought of one that had occurred not long agao, and smiled.
"Hey, I remember once we took the boys to a park and there was a ariados right?well, as soon as emery saw it he took off running like a crobat out of hell!"
We started laughing at both the story, and emery's blush.
It took the better part of two hours until lunch was over, then both women had to leave. Returning to my spot on the couch, mew settled next to me with a 'I told you so' look.
"What?"
I asked,curiosity blazing.
" I knew getting you up and going for a while would help you get over being sick."
I shrugged trying not to give in to the truth in her statement.i shook my head as the boys came running in, and emery jumping into my lap.
"Can we go to the park? PLEEEEEASE?"
Both boys begged, the notion obviously having been rehearsed.i looked At mew.
"Mewtwo, how you feeling?"
"I'm fine right now."
She nodded,
"Okay boys,we can go. Go grab your bags."
The two children ran off, and returned as me and mew where standing in the doorway. Emery had a blue backpack on, and Alec had his green one. In the packs where toys,and in Alec's case, a small cell phone should he ever have another 'problem' with his breathing when we where not around.
When we arrived at the park, there where plenty of humans, but few pokemon. When the boys ran off to play, me and mew sat on a bench. A small, brown haired human girl ran up to us, and pointed in my direction.
"Pokaymon!"
She exclaimed happily. A women with similar hair color ran over to the girl, and scooped her up with a. Fearful glance in our direction, before walking briskly away. I rolled my pretended nothing phone in the bag I had brought for myself rang, and I looked at the screen. Alec's emergency phone. Me and mew looked at one another, before answering.
"Mommy daddy come here! Alec is hurt!"
Emery's voice sounded the background, Alec's cry of pain and distress where clear.
"Where are you?"
I asked calmly, though I was anything but calm.
"By the pond!"
I hung up and took off in a dead sprint to the pond, mew easily keeping pace. We reached the boys am the same time.
"What happened?"
I asked, picking Alec up.
"We where climbing that tree and he fell..."
Emery said, pointing to a rather tall pine tree. As I lifted Alec, his cries became higher in pitch , and more setting the boy down, I inspected him for any injuries, and my breath caught when I saw his arm bent at an awkward angle. I gently poked it, and Alec screamed.
"Defiantly broken.."
I muttered. Alec's loud cries had drawn in several human parents, and a tall, burly man walked over.
"What's the problem here?"
The man asked, addressing me directly.
"He fell, apparently he was climbing a tree. His arms broken."
The man nodded.
"I think I can help you out here."
He said, and only then did I notice his jumpsuit and the paramedic sign on it.
"Hold him down."
I did as instructed.
"I'll have to put the bone back into place, then we'll take him to the hospital. As it is, it can damage something in his arm and cause damage we cant fix."
I nodded and tightened my grip on the boy. Looking behind me, I saw mew being lead away by some of the mothers. They obviously knew the moment Alec screamed in the pain that was sure to follow, she would want to rush to his aid.
He looked at Alec who was hysterical.
"Kid, I need you to hold still. I'm not gonna sugar coat anything. This will hurt."
Alec nodded, though he was still crying fiercely. The man grunted as he put pressure on the bone, and Alec's hiccuping sobs turned into agonized screams. I could vaguely hear mews struggles to get at her child. I myself wanted to make the man stop, to say he was hurting him, but I resisted. With a dull 'pop' the bone was back in place and I scooped Alec up and held him close.
"Ill five you guys a lift to the hospital."
I nodded, and mew was at my side in a second, whispering soothing words to Alec. Emery climbed in the front of the paramedics car, and me and mew sat in back with Alec on my lap. Eventually Alec's sobs slowed, and turned to sniffles and hiccups. I rocked him back in forth while mew tried to soothe the pained toddler.
When we arrived, I noted that this was a human hospital, but didn't complain. The nurse there looked startled to see a small family of pokemon come in.
"Uh...can I help you?"
The paramedic came in last,and the nurse straightened up.
"Hello Kevin."
The paramedic, who's name was apparently Kevin, nodded to the nurse then gestured to Alec.
"Broken arm, possible bone fragments. Already set the bone in place before coming here."
The nurse looked at me, then at Kevin.
"I'm not sure if we're equipped to handle pokemon.."
The man rolled his eyes.
"For arceus's sake Mandy! The nearest center is more then fifty miles from here!"
The nurse shook her head and called for a doctor. Within minutes they had Alec in a room getting x-rays. Mew held my hand-like paw tightly.
"I keep thkinking 'he's allergic to bees'...as if that matters..."
Mew said, obviously trying to lighten the mood. I smiled gently, then looked at the door where Alec was.
"Do you suppose he'll be alright?"
I looked at mew.
"It's a broken arm, mew. He'll be fine."
She nodded, but didint look convinced. The doctor walked out of the room then, and behind him two nurses pushed Alec into a room on a hospital bed. Mew tried to follow but shook my head.
"He will be fine, but hell have to be in a cast for a few weeks while it heals. I'm interested in just how this came to pass?..."
Emery peaked his head out from behind me, and I looked at him.
"Well...we where playing and he wanted to climb a tree.. I said okay and so we did but a branch he was standing on broke and he fell and started crying so I got the phone out and called daddy..."
The doctor nodded, then looked at me.
"Well,like I said, he will be just fine. I gotta say when they wheeled in a pokemon, I was shocked."
He chuckled and I did so a long with him. He looked at me sheepishly.
"I hope you don't mind that I took a few full body X-rays.."
I shrugged.
"I compared them with a human child about his size and found some remarkable similarities. If you wish to see them?..."
I looked to mew.
"I'm going to go see Alec."
She said, and darted down the hallway.
"I guess Ill take a look."
I said, and followed the pointed to the two x rays.
"This is the you tell witch is human?"
I looked closely, but found no differences in the two.i shook my head.
"Exactly. This one here, on the right, is your son. The other one is a human boy of around the same age. Now this here, is the skull it's quite obvious witch is witch here but see this? The..jaw and size. Are almost exactly alike."
I could see what he meant. The curve was the same, and had Alec not had the sharp, cat like teeth I did the jaw would have looked the same.
"Here, is the rib cage. Other then the fact that Alec's is smaller, there is literally no difference what so ever. And here, is the scapula or shoulder blade. There is a little difference her, however with size, the humans being smaller."
The doctor prattled on about bones and eventually ended with an astonished look.
"Amazing isint it?"
I nodded, even though I hadn't heard half the things the man said.
