First Week Frenzy
A loud shrill wail echoed through the halls of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.
"Not again" Liz muttered climbing out from under the warm blankets and stumbling toward the fridge, which thankfully was in Red's room long before she married him, and grabbing a bottle.
"I'll get her Liz, you go back to bed" A voice mumbled from behind her, a warm hand gently taking the bottle from her hand.
"Thanks Red" Liz sighed in relief as Red walked quickly to the next room.
"I'm coming little one, I'm coming" Hellboy said walking to Raven's crib and carefully slipping his stone right hand under her backside and his left hand under her head and lifts her up and shifts her into the crook of his left arm "Here you go sweety." Hellboy murmured watching as Raven took to the bottle and drank quickly.
"Whoa, slow down baby bird, don't bolt your food.
Don't worry baby bird your sister's gonna be home soon and things will get back to normal, well as close to normal as possible, and it wasn't very normal to begin with, but you Lily, and Eleanor will always be the most important part of our lives" Hellboy murmured watching as Raven gave a small hiccup and released the nearly empty bottle.
"That's my girl" Hellboy whispered looking at Raven who dropped back into sleep, he sets her gently back in the crib and leaves shutting the door half way he starts back for his room and stops mid way and turns back around and heads for the Med. Wing.
Hellboy entered the dim recovery room where Eleanor had been placed just two days ago, and made his way to Eleanor's incubator. As he approaches her he notices that something is not right with Eleanor, she was fine yes, but she was awake.
"Hey baby Nell, what are you still doing awake, can't sleep or did your old man wake you up coming in here" Hellboy said quietly pulling a chair up next to the incubator and sitting down. "Just a few more days Nell then you can leave that tank and trade it in for a nice warm crib in your new room with your sisters," Hellboy said softly reaching his left hand in through one of the openings on the incubators side and watched as Eleanor's tiny hand reached for and grasped his index finger "you're no sleepy little eater like your sisters, you're the quietest and calmest baby I've ever seen, you were like that even before you were born, you were so quiet and so still we had no idea you were up there until you came out, me and your mama were pretty scared when they said you weren't breathing, your mama was still scared even after they got you breathing" Hellboy says softly as Eleanor releases his finger only to grasp the end of his rosary "You like this too huh? These belonged to your grandfather, he never took them off, well until the night he-, well I'll tell you that part when you're much older. I'm sure your grandfather would be very proud of you and your sisters, he was a very kind man, but I know he's probably looking down and smiling at his three perfect grand babies"
