Sorry this is late everyone. It was out a few days ago, but I couldn't upload because of the problems. Here it is though.
We were still at the hospital. It has been about an hour since I delivered Feather. I was asleep on the bed when I heard a little cry. I gasped and woke up. Crow was holding and rocking her: Making her realized that it was her father holding her and that he loved her. She stopped crying. I smiled. Emily was apparently outside of the hospital talking on the phone to her boss and again to her grandfather.
"How is she?" I asked quietly while lying down. He looked up at me and smiled.
"She's fine, and beautiful," I smiled at him. He was such a proud father.
"Where is everyone?"
"They decided to let you sleep and go and have breakfast." My stomach growled. Crow snickered.
"I'm guessing you're hungry?" I smiled.
"Yeah, I am. My stomach was full an hour ago. Full with our little girl," He smiled and looked down at her. "Is she sleeping?" He nodded.
"Beautifully, very beautifully," I smiled.
"You are a very proud father aren't you?" He smiled.
"Yep, I am. She's just so...beautiful...very, very beautiful. Just like her mother," I smiled. The door soon opened lightly and in came everyone else.
"Breakfast has already been eaten?" I asked. My mother smiled and nodded.
"How are you sweetie?"
"Still sore but I'll be fine," She smiled and looked at Crow.
"How is she Crow?" She asked.
"Sleeping," he said smiling. She smiled.
"As all newborns do," I giggled. My mother walked over to Crow and looked down at her. She smiled as a few tears fell. She gently touched her cheek. Feather wriggled a little and woke up. She then yawned. My mother giggled.
"You are so beautiful, my granddaughter," I giggled. I yawned and then Feather yawned in unison with me. Crow snickered.
"I think she just copied off her mother," I smiled.
"What do you mean?" He smiled and looked at me.
"She yawned as you did," I smiled again and giggled. Crow then gasped. "Yusei! Jack! I forgot to tell you. I saw Trudge getting pulled into an Ambulance. Everyone gasped. I did too.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, before Wendy went into labour, I stopped and saw Trudge about to be taken to the hospital," Crow said.
"Where is he now?" Jack asked.
"How should I know?"
"We better find out," Yusei said. I looked up at them.
"Are you leaving me here? Or can I go with you?" Everyone glanced over at me.
"Darling, get some more rest, you've just given birth. Let your man and his friends handle this," he smirked. I giggled.
"Make sure you leave our little girl here, who knows what might happen if you take her," he sighed and nodded. He smiled and walked over with her.
"Sit up sweetie; and I'll give her to you," I smiled and sat up slowly. I smiled as he handed her tiny body over to me. She made a few baby noises. We both snickered. Once she was in my arms, she fell asleep. Crow and I smiled and looked at each other. His eyes sunk with adoration. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back. Five seconds later we break apart. We smiled at each other again. We were broken out of our thoughts by my mother 'awing' at us. I giggled at Crow's blushing face. He smirked and snickered at me. He kissed me one last time before heading out with the boys.
"Wow, You've had the baby Wendy," I smiled and looked up. It was Lily. My mother and grandfather gasped. (I keep forgetting to put her in. Lol)
"Lily! Where have you been?"
"Just in my card: I thought you might like a rest from me while you were nearly due," I pouted.
"Awe, what makes you think that?"She pouted.
"You mean... I could have come out at anytime?" I smiled and nodded.
"Everyone knows you exist Lily. So, it's okay," She pouted and started to sob lightly.
"Can I see her?" I smiled and nodded.
"She's sleeping at the moment." Lily floated over and stared at her. Her eyes sparkled.
"Oh, she's so beautiful," Feather then woke up and stared up at Lily. "Can she see me?"
"We won't know until a duel monster spirit is assigned to her," I smiled. "I hope she can," Lily smiled at me. Lily went back into her card so I can sleep.
~Crow's POV~
Wendy and my daughter are safely sleeping. I didn't want to leave my wife after she gave birth to our daughter, but this was an important matter. Trudge has been hurt and he needs our help. We ran through the hospital doors.
"Mina!" She stood up.
"Where's Trudge?"
"The ER"
"Will he make it?"
"The doctor's aren't sure yet," Mina said sadly. The door opened and out came the doctors with Trudge on a stretcher. We all gasped and looked over.
"Trudge!" I yelled. We ran over.
"Nurse, prep the OR Stat!"
"What happened? Who did this?" Yusei said, leaning down to him. Trudge moved his head to look at Yusei.
"The Ghost, watch out, Synchro's are useless" Useless?
"What do you mean?"
"There's no time to lose, let's move," The doctor's wheeled him into another room. We just stared at the door.
"So Trudge took on the Ghost all alone?" Jack asked.
"I'm afraid so, he really took what you guys said to heart. That this is something security should fix," That was me! I said that. I frowned. "But I guess it was a bit more then he could handle," I frowned again. I walked off with the others staring at me.
"Where are you going Crow?" Mina asked.
"Probably to see Wendy, she gave birth over an hour ago," Yusei said. I just kept walking. It was my fault. It's my fault that Trudge is all banged up. I opened the door to Wendy's birthing room. I looked around, her mother had Feather in her arms, her grandparents were staring down at her and Wendy was asleep. Her mother looked up and smiled.
"Hey Crow, how's Trudge?" I glanced at Wendy again and frowned. I told them what happened. Wendy's mother gasped and frowned too. "I hope he'll be okay." Wendy started to stir.
~Wendy's POV~
I woke up and yawned. Crow was back, but where were the others? He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.
"Hey babe, how are you feeling?" He walked over and sat on the bed next to me. He held my hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it. I smiled again.
"I'm feeling better every minute sweetie," He smiled again and leaned down and kissed my forehead. Crow didn't seem like himself. Something was up. "Darling, are you okay?" He stared down at me and smiled.
"I'm fine hunny, why do you ask?" I stared up at him.
"You seem different, like something happened while you were gone. Did something happen?" He smiled and shook his head.
"I'm fine my love," The door opened and a nurse came in. She smiled and told me that I needed to start breastfeeding training. I smiled and nodded. My mother walked over and handed Feather over to me. She woke up and yawned. I giggled. The nurse came over and told me that it may take some time for Feather to get use to it.
"She may not know what to do at first, but she'll know soon. First, lightly pull her more towards you. She will naturally try to suck something," I nodded and did as I was told. Crow, my mother and grandparents just watched. Feather was a bit hesitant at first, but she then began to drink. I gasped happily.
"She's doing it!" I said smiling. Crow snickered.
"Good work," the nurse smiled back at me. "Alright, when she's done, you are free to go home, if you're feeling alright," I nodded, smiled and sat up more. Crow put his arm around me and we both watched as she had a feed. A few minutes later she was done.
"Here sweetie, I'll take her. You can walk around for a bit," my mother said, holding out her arms to take her. I giggled and gently gave my daughter to her. We heard a cute little baby noise. I smiled and started to stand up slowly. "Be careful sweetie, you'll feel weird when you first walk again," My mother said. "You won't feel the weight anymore," I smiled. Crow took my hands and held me as I tried to stand up. I wobbled a lot and almost fell down. Crow caught me before I fell on my bum. I smiled and held onto him. He held me close to him.
"It's been a while since I've held you close like this," He smirked. I giggled. I let go of him and started walking around slowly. After a while I was getting use to walking properly again. I smiled as I walked around. My mother giggled and Crow snickered at me.
"What?" I giggled. Crow winked at me and I giggled and blushed. Feather made a cute baby noise and then started to cry. "Aww," my mother's instinct came in and I quickly rushed over and took her from my mother. I rocked her gently and she quickly calmed down and fell asleep in my arms. Crow walked over and put his hands on my waist. He stared down at her. We both smiled at her sweet face. He held me close and kissed my cheek. My mother and grandparents just stared at us smiling.
"What a beautiful family moment," my mother said. "Enjoy it guys. She won't be little for long," I giggled. "Wait, let me get my camera." She searched for her camera in her handbag, got it out and took a few photos of us together and of little Feather.
"Make sure you send and print me those mum. I would like a set." My mother nodded. "She'll still be my baby, no matter how old she gets," Crow snickered. I smiled. Crow kissed my cheek and stared down at Feather. He kissed me one last time and started packing my hospital bag. My mother also bought me baby slings of all different colours and styles. She wants me to be comfortable while holding her. Crow kept packing my things. He had a huge smile on his face. I smiled at him. Feather fell asleep in my arms. My mother stared at me, smiling. "Why are you looking at me like that mum?" She smiled.
"Just at how beautiful you look with a baby in your arms," I smiled back at her. A while later, the others got back and we were ready to head home. I was still sore so my mother drove me home as Crow and the others drove on their runners. Emily was in the limo with me. It's safer for a newborn to be held by its mother or father while in a car then a strap up baby seat. We were home sooner than we thought. Crow opened the car door for me. I smiled.
"Darling, here; let me take her," I smiled and put the sling around his neck. He held the sling close to him gently. He smiled at Feather moving around lightly. Her little head was poking out of the sling. She had her eyes closed. With his other hand, he took a hold of mine and helped me out of the car. "Wendy, it's off to bed for you," I looked towards him and cocked an eyebrow.
"Why?" He sighed. His eyes looked drowsy and it seemed though he was about to fall asleep himself.
"Darling, you just gave birth, go upstairs and get some rest."
"But: what about you?"
"What about me? I'll look after our little girl. Get some rest,"
"But..." He sighed. I smiled and stood in front of him. "Darling, you get some rest. You haven't slept for over 24 hours. You need it. Not me. Besides you're working again in a few hours. Get some sleep. Okay?" I looked deep into his eyes. He sighed again.
"Don't worry Crow, I'll make sure she's okay," My mother said. "We'll stay for the rest of the day and when you wake up, Wendy can put Feather to bed and sleep herself, alright?" He let out a deep sigh.
"Fine, I'll sleep," He looked towards me and smiled. "Here," He handed the sling back over and carefully put it around my neck. I held my baby tightly. She woke up to the switch. Yawned and then fell asleep again. Crow and I smiled lovingly at her. She was just too beautiful. "But first we've all got to talk about something,"
"And what's that?"
"Let's head inside." We all made our way downstairs. I still had Feather around my neck. I slowly walked downstairs, being careful while holding her. I was afraid I might drop her. Crow snickered at me as I was walking down. He then looked down and sighed. I frowned. Something must be wrong. As we hit the last step, Yusei walked over to computer and sat down thinking, Jack leaned on the wall and Crow stood next to him. I stood next to Crow. I glanced at Crow, he seemed very distressed. He got angry and punched the poster on the wall.
"Man!" He said angrily. "This is all my fault, I'm the one who turned him down," He got even more distressed and angry. "He's all banged up because of me!"
"Stop it Crow. That's not true and playing the blame game isn't going to solve a thing. It certainly not going to stop The Ghost" Yusei stood up.
"Then what? Should we all just sit around here and pout?"
"Actually," Yusei through Crow's helmet and he caught it. "I have a better idea. We go find The Ghost, and we take him down"
"Right, no one hurts one of our pals and gets away with it," They took the sheets off their duel runners.
"Alright, let's go. Yeah!" Crow put his helmet on. But what about us?
"Um, guys. What about us?" Crow smiled and walked over. He held me close.
"Stay here, and look after our little girl alright," I smiled and nodded. He looked down at the sling and moved the side open. He smiled and awed at Feather sleeping. "She's been like that for a while. Sleeping away," He snickered and kissed me. My mother, grandparents and Emily smiled at us. Crow asked if they could stay and keep me company. They all agreed. Before the boys left, Crow got dressed into his usual clothes. They all got onto their runners and drove off. As soon as they left, Feather started to cry.
"Awe sweetie, it's okay. Daddy will be back," I said, rocking her. She fell silent and fell asleep again. I smiled.
"Darling, you are a natural mother," I smiled and hugged her.
~Days Later~
A few days later we were in the garage talking with everyone here. Feather was in my arms sleeping as always. Trudge was feeling better and Leo, Luna, Akiza and Mina were visiting. We were talking about this Ghost, that the guys caught a few days ago. Apparently, it was a machine.
"Good to see you're feeling better Trudge," I smiled and nodded.
"Hey, I'm just happy you guys finally caught up with The Ghost," Yusei handed him the picture they took.
"So, what do ya think?" Yusei asked.
"Well, from the looks of these pictures you took, I'd say what we have here is a duel bot" Duelbot?
"Sector Security has been experimenting with Robotics. Duelbots are at the very cutting edge of those experiments," Mina explained.
"So how come this one got loose?" Jack asked.
"Don't know, but my hunch is that someone stole a prototype from headquarters and then they must have somehow programmed it. Now the question is why? I only wish we could check the bots memory chip," I smirked. Yusei, Jack and Crow have already checked it out.
"Already did that Trudge. Only problem is it had nothing on it. I guess, The Ghosts memory system was set to automatically erase if it lost a duel," I sighed. Feather wriggled and said a cute baby sound in my arms. Crow looked over at me and smiled.
"You know it's a crime to tamper with evidence."
"Oh, give it a rest, will ya? If not for us, Sector Security would still be trying to catch The Ghost," I gigged. He was right.
"That's right! No one tries harder," Trudge yelled. Feather started to cry. Mina sighed.
"TRUDGE" Crow yelled. He stood closer to me as I was trying to calm her down. I whispered to her that everything was okay. She quietened down, yawned and fell asleep again. We both smiled.
"Wow, a duelling robot. So awesome!"
"Leo, that thing did a lot of damage," Luna said.
"Oh yeah," Leo said, seemingly disappointed.
"What I don't understand is all that weird stuff The Ghost was saying about Synchro monsters. What's it mean?"
"I don't know. But the one thing that is certain is that there's somebody out there who's up to no good," Jack said. Emily and I nodded.
"I agree Jack and if that means that our city is in danger, we have to be ready to defend it," Crow and Jack nodded. I nodded too. Crow looked at me.
"Oh no, you're not helping. Stay on the sidelines this time darling," I sighed but agreed. "And no summoning those God Cards of yours. I sighed again but agreed.
"Fine, but if I have to, I will, no matter what, alright?" He gave me stern look. I stared him down and won. He sighed and nodded. I smiled and hugged him. A few minutes later, everyone was gone and we were getting ready for bed. While I was in the shower, Crow had Feather with him. He was making funny noises and speaking to her like a house hold pet. I had to giggle. I finished off my shower, put my dressing gown on and walked out. He was sitting on the bed. "Hey darling, how is she?" He looked up and smiled.
"Beautiful as ever," I giggled.
"Has she smiled yet?" I asked. He shook his head and looked down at her again.
"Not yet, I want to see that beautiful smile again. Oh wait, I can," He stared over at me.
"What?" I asked. He smiled.
"Smile for me darling," He asked.
"Why?"
"She has your smile remember?" I giggled, smiling. He snickered. "There it is," I blushed and giggled again. Feather made a few more baby noises, yawned and was about to fall asleep. I giggled. Crow 'awed'. He was such a proud father. "How about daddy put you to bed sweetie, you look tired," She started to cry. I giggled. Crow gasped and started to panic. I then laughed.
"She needs a feed first darling. That's why I'm not technically dressed yet. She can't go to sleep hungry," He snickered and looked down at me.
"Can I watch?" He asked blushing. I blushed but nodded.
"If you want sweetie, you'll have to hand her over first," I giggled. He snickered and handed her over to me. She woke up and stared at me. I sat down on the bed; Crow sat next to me and just watched us. I giggled and basically showed her, her dinner. I moved her closer to my chest and she started to drink. "That's it sweetie, drink up," I whispered. She kept feeding. Crow put his arms around me and stared down at her. He sighed with satisfaction. He kissed my cheek and just stared at her. A few minutes later, she was done and Crow asked to burp her. I smiled, handed her over and he burped her. After that, she fell straight asleep in his arms. He smiled and gently placed her into bed, tucked her in and watched as she slept. I smiled and silently walked over to him and put my arm around him. He turned to me and put his arm around me. I laid my head on his chest and we watched her sleep.
