Part Three:

Leah sat back in the reception area.

"Wow…Ozzie's taking a while." She mumbled.

Just then Ozzie stumbled thorough sweating.

"Well all…" He said casually. "Let's get back to this wedding."

Most headed back into the wedding area but Leah stayed sitting where she was. She pulled here knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. The wedding had started but she didn't have the strength or will to head back inside.

'I don't even know these people anyway.' Leah thought to herself.

"And now." Leah heard over the microphone. "Drix."

"On the way down…" He started singing.

"Agh.." She said resting her head on her still folded knees.

Leah saw something swift move behind her. She glanced back.

"Great." She said to herself. "You're going crazy too."

Something dark started to rise up behind her. She turned around just in time to see it and screamed.

A hand covered her mouth and another figure grabbed her from behind. She attempted to kick at one but missed.

"I missed ya babe." Hepatitis whispered in her ear.

Her eyes widened a bit and she took a sharp breath. The dud stood in front of her and she looked at him questionably.

"We should get going. We don't wanna stick around to long. We got what we need." The dud said.

Ozzie stood up at the front by where Drix was now coming off stage. As he looked towards the door he saw a figure flash by. He raised an eyebrow but looked away.

A short while later all the cell gathered in another room and were chatting and eating. Ozzie walked around searching for Leah.

"Have you seen Leah?" H asked one of his nearby friends. The cell shook his head. Ozzie shrugged figuring she was either in the bathroom or went home early. He walked back over to a few cells and started chatting with them when Drix came over.

"Ozzie….someone just called me from the jail."

"About what?"

"Well…Hepatitis was broken out."

"Damn! Drix I gotta find Leah…I gotta make sure she's ok."

Drix nodded and the partners, still dressed in their tuxes, ran out in search of Leah and the escaped virus.

Next Day:

Ozzie started to roll over as he woke up. He rolled over to find Drix sleeping next to him.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Ozzie screamed.

Drix fell out of the bed.

"Oh Ozzie."

"What you doing here?"

"I live here."

"Huh?" Ozzie looked around and realized he was indeed in Drix's apartment.

"How did I end up here?"

"If I knew I wouldn't be on the floor." Drix snapped. "I'm glad you're here though. I think I know where the dud is…"

"Ok. Where?"

"Well he may be a dud but he's still a cold pill….so I think he'll probably attack the throat or nose.

Ozzie sighed. "Ok."

With Leah:

Leah struggled against the Dud and Hepatitis.

"Let….me…..go…" She grumbled.

"No…we need you for something." The dud replied grinning evily.

"What…what do you need me for?" She asked shocked.

"You'll see sweetheart. This time your little boyfriend and this body are going down."

She gasped then narrowed her eyes.

"You can't make me do anything." She replied.

"Oh yes we can." Hepatitis cut in….

With Ozzie and Drix:

"So where should we try first?" Ozzie questioned.

"I'm thinking the throat." Drix said.

Ozzie nodded and took the turn headed towards the throat.

'I hope they have Leah safe still.' He thought. 'They better not have hurt her.'

"What are you thinking about?" Drix asked staring at Ozzie.

"Ohh….ummm….nothing." Ozzie replied.

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

Drix shrugged as they pulled to a stop in the throat. The 2 slid out of the car and Ozzie pulled out his gun. They walked slowly searching for any sign of the dud or Hepatitis.

Just then a giant piece of a sandwich came tumbling down Frank's throat and stuck.

"AHHH! He's choking." Drix screamed. "What do we do, what do we do?"

Ozzie began to push the chunk of food up and Frank began to cough it out. However just as Frank coughed the sandwich out Drix went flying with it.

"OZZIE!" He said leaving the throat then disappearing through the mouth.

'Damn.' Ozzie though. 'There can only be one explanation for this happening when me and Drix eh….Drix and I and that would be a manipulated brain cell. Which would also explain why me and Drix woke up together.'

Ozzie paced as he thought.

'Who could that cell be though? The mayor was fine and so were most of the others.' Then it dawned on him. "Leah's a brain cell!" He shouted aloud. "Damn they're controlling her somehow. I just know it."

Just then another piece of food came in and Ozzie heard an all too familiar scream. He looked up and was squished, a minute later, under Drix.

With Leah:

Leah was pissed by this point.

"Please! I won't do anything else to those 2. Do your own dirty work from now on I'm through!"

"Oh but remember our deal? You cooperate and we won't kill you." Hepatitis sneered.

She looked at him angrily then looked away.

"That's what I thought." He said.

With Ozzie and Drix:

Ozzie and Drix started to make their way up to the brain. Drix was strategically planning their attack while Ozzie just marched forward.

"Wow they really are stupid." The dud said watching them travel up into the brain. "Falling right into my trap. It's a pity that you lost to such idiots."

Hepatitis grew cold. "Are you trying to say something?"

"Oh..ummm….I didn't say anything."

"I think you called us idiots." Hepatitis said.

"I did..hmm….well.oops."

"Hmmm…"

Leah sat on the floor. She was growing uncomfortable seeing as how she was still dressed in her dress from the wedding.

"So sweetie….how you doin?" Hepatitis sneered walking over to Leah.

"Stop calling me that…I don't dig you!" She said angrily.

He pulled her up by her arm and held her close to him. She pushed at his chest with her available arm and looked at the floor.

"Oh come on babe lighten up…Your little lover will be gone soon so you wont feel guilty if you do."

"I'm not feelin guilty cause I'm not doin anything!"

"That's what you think."

"That's what I know."

"Hmmm.." Hepatitis mumbled.

Ozzie and Drix marched onward. Ozzie stopped. They had finally reached the brain.

Ozzie started to go inward.

"Wait." Drix called out from behind. "Are you sure you want to go through with this?"

Ozzie didn't reply and walked inside. Drix was a little more hesitant but started to follow.

"NO!" Ozzie called from inside.

"What?" Drix questioned.

"This is and inactive piece of the brain. I can't escape so don't come in!"

"So what do I do?"

"You're gonna have to find and defeat the dud by yourself."

"What about Hepatitis?"

"Don't worry….he'll be waiting for me."

"Ozzie! Wait!"

"What?"

"……Be careful.."

Ozzie sighed from his spot and finally mumbled "Ok" before heading more in.

He arrived to where he assumed the 2 had set up their 'headquarters.' Pulling out his gun and holding it in front of himself he pushed a door open with his free hand and quickly jumped inside.

"I wondered when you would finally get here." Hepatitis said.

As he came into view Ozzie noticed he had Leah held in front of him. He had her mouth covered with his hand and she struggled against him.

"Leah! You're ok!" Ozzie said clearly relieved he had found her safe.

"Awww how touching….NOT!" Hepatitis said mockingly.

Leah got up courage and was able to bring her elbow into his stomach. He let go of her and she was able to rush behind Ozzie. Ozzie brought one arm around his back to hold her waist and the other still had his gun pointed at Hepatitis.

"You….bitch…you'll pay for that." Hepatitis sputtered.

Ozzie could feel Leah shaking against his back and he glanced back to look at her. She was silently crying and shaking horribly.

"Shhh…Leah it's ok. He's not gonna hurt you anymore."

She sniffed and nodded. Ozzie looked back at Hepatitis totally pissed.

"You're gonna pay for doin this to Leah."

"Oh…but I thought you weren't together." Hepatitis said looking at Ozzie funny.

"We're not. But no one hurts people I care about."

"Bring it."

"Oh I will."

Drix:

Drix wandered around looking for the dud.

"Oh this is pointless." He said as he paused. Just then the dud jumped out at Drix.

"Ahhhh!" Drix screamed then was able to get the dud off his back. The tow began to stare each other down.

With Ozzie:

"Hepatitis your time in this body is up."

"Oh but I'm still just getting started."

"Leah…get out of here." Ozzie said to her.

"What….n…no….I won't leave."

"Leah get out."

"Awwww little miss won't leave her lover." Hepatitis sneered.

"Leah please."

"No!" She said firmly glaring at Ozzie.

"Fine….be difficult."

She gave him a half smile and he turned to Hepatitis.

Hepatitis lunged over Ozzie and grabbed Leah.

"Order your fine horses now. Raise you hand to the level of your eyes. Nothing in the world can save you now except perhaps Ozzie." Hepatitis sang. "Give up your life. Kill yourself in front of me. If not send your lover to her grave. This is the choice. This is the point of no return."

Ozzie was silent.

With Drix and the Dud:

Drix and the dud battled. Drix slapped, the dud punched, Drix head butted, and the dud attempted to kick. It was and even battle.

"You're quick.." The dud said. "But not quick enough."

The dud rushed away leaving Drix confused. Hepatitis did the same to Leah and Ozzie. Both groups met back up. The 2 went into 'hiding' and the other 3 went back to their normal daily routines.

1 month later:

It had been quiet in Frank for quite some time. Drix and Ozzie sat in their office working on some papers. Drix's phone rang and he answered it.

"Hello? Drix." He answered.

"Drix. It's Leah….um…could you come over."

"Is everything ok? What's wrong?"

"Just come to my place…I need to talk to you."

They hung up and he headed towards her house. He arrived a few minutes later.

"Leah. Its Drix." He called through the door while knocking.

"Come in." She called.

He went inside her apartment and found her curled in a ball with her knees to her chest on the couch. She was wearing a pair of pajama pants and a tank top which was different from her normal attire.

"Is everything ok?" He asked concerned taking a seat in her chair.

"Drix…..I'm…..well…I'm pregnant." She mumbled out.

"Leah! Congratulations."

"No Drix this is awful!"

"Why?"

"Because it's Ozzie's…and we're not back together."

"But he'll be so excited."

"No Drix! You gotta promise you won't tell him!"

"But Leah."

"Please Drix." She pleaded her eyes watering.

Drix let out a sigh. "Ok." He agreed finally. "When did you find out?"

"Just today for sure. I felt sick 2 days ago still and I went to the doctors earlier and they confirmed it."

"Well congratulations anyway."

"Thanks…"

Drix's phone rang and he noticed Ozzie's name.

"I have to go." He said quickly. Leah nodded as he answered his phone.

"Hello?"

"Yo Drix where you at?"

"Over checking something out. I'm headed back not."

"Ok see ya then."

Drix hung up his phone.

"Well I gotta go meet Ozzie."

She looked to him nodding again.

"Everything's gonna be ok Leah you'll see. You'll get through this I promise." He said reassuringly before walking out leaving Leah alone on her couch on the verge of crying.

Drix and Ozzie met up at the office.

"Sup." Ozzie greeted.

"Nothing. Why are you hassling me?"

Ozzie looked at him strangely. "Anyway..Let's go find Hepy and Duddy."

"Ok." Drix replied.

"Ooh you know what Frank was watching on T.V today?"

"What?"

"Oprah. It was all about those sluts who get pregnant before marriage."

Drix stumbled.

"You ok?"

"Yeah."

"Well anyway. I was watching it and was just like 'that aint right. That aint aint aint right!'"

"Well hypothetically what would you say if someone you knew got pregnant?"

Ozzie raised an eyebrow. "I don't know….what you gettin at?"

"Oh nothing I was just wondering…"

"Drix? Spill whatever you're trying to say."

"It's nothing."

"Come on Drips…" Ozzie teased. "What you afraid of?"

"I just wanted to know what you would say if someone you knew was pregnant."

"But why? Does that matter? Yeah it's kinda wrong but what's the relivance?"

"LEAHS PREGNANT." Drix finally screamed.

Ozzie stood looking shocked.

"Who's what?"

"Leah's pregnant." Drix said looking at the floor.

"What? Damn." Ozzie mumbled angrily. "How did we let this happen?"

"Ozzie it's not your fault."

"Yes it is. If we hadn't….damn…We're not back together, we probably won't get back together, Leah's even more vulnerable, and this kid will probably grow up without a father. Can anything else go wrong?"

"It's not as bad as it seems."

Without saying anything else Ozzie walked out and arrived at Leah's a few minutes later. He knocked on her door. She opened it while wiping her eyes.

"Ozzie?" She asked stepping back. She realized her stomach was just barely showing because of her tank top and she covered it with her arm.

"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" He demanded.

"What? Who told you?"

"That doesn't matter! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to know!"

"You didn't want me to know I'm gonna be a father?"

"No." She said stepping back and holding the door more open inviting him in.

"I don't want to come in." Ozzie said rudely.

"Ozzie!" Leah pleaded.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me."

"Ozzie." She said again.

"I just wanna let you know this doesn't mean we're back together." Ozzie turned around and left with that.

The Dud/Hepatitis:

"I still don't see why we're hiding here." Said the bored dud.

"Trust me. We wouldn't have won, not then at least."

"You wouldn't have on.' Claimed the dud.

"Yo! I be telling ya. I'm getting tired of you."

"Yeah?" He stood up. "And what?"

"Bring it on…ROGER!"

The dud, or Roger, gasped.

"Don't ever say my real name!"

Hepatitis jumped on "Roger" and the 2 began to duke it out.

With Leah:

"Drix do you think he'll be mad at me forever?"

"Oh Leah…this will all blow over soon."

"No it won't Drix! This isn't some simple thing. I'm gonna have this baby forever."

"Everything's gonna be ok."

"Drix you promised though! You promised you wouldn't tell him but you did!"

"I know I'm sorry. But he needed to know."

"Drix you didn't see the look he gave me….Now he thinks I'm a freaken whore."

"No he doesn't. Ozzie wouldn't…" Drix stopped midsentence as his partner stormed in and plopped down at his desk.
"Oh I'm sorry Mr. Salesman. Me and my PARTNER don't want any subscriptions." Drix said into the phone.

"What? Oh my gosh." Leah mumbled hanging up.

She placed the phone on the small table next to her couch and curled up on the sofa.

With Ozzie and Drix:

"How could she do this?" Ozzie said totally pissed.

"Um…I don't know."

"How long has she known?"

"She just found out for sure today."

"Damn."

"Ozzie don't be so hard on her. She doesn't need this."

Ozzie sat looking angrily out the window. After a minute his face softened.

"I know I shouldn't but….how could I not be the first to know….and why couldn't SHE tell me?"

"Ozzie she's scared and hurt. Give her a chance."

"I'm not gettin back together just for the baby."

"I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying be easy on her. She's going through a lot right now."

Ozzie nodded and looked back out the window his thoughts wandering.

Roger and Hepatitis:

Just as Roger and Hepatitis did battle Hepatitis stopped.

"Wait." He said.

Roger blinked.

"It's cell splitting season."

"Yeah…..and?"

"It's that girl. She's going to split…think of the possibilities Roger."

"Ohhh….I don't get it." Roger said raising an eyebrow.

"You idiot! Jones' little 'girlfriend' is gonna have a baby!"

"Oh I get it now! So what are we gonna do?"

"We're gonna get her again. If Jones doesn't do what we wish…we'll get rid of his kid."

Roger laughed at Hepatitis' remark.

"We hold his kids life in our hands." Hepatitis sneered.

With Leah:

Leah still sat curled in her couch.

'Ugh..I wish I didn't feel so sick.' She thought.

She stood up and walked over to get a glass of water.

'I'm never gonna get used to this.' She started walking back to her couch and looked over to where she had a small picture of her and Ozzie. She tightened her grip on her glass and turned the picture face down and went to plop back down. She wiped furiously at her watering eyes.

'What did I do? How could I screw up like this?'

Her phone rang but she ignored it, too upset to pick it up.

With Ozzie:

Ozzie sat at his desk going through files. Most of them he wasn't even paying attention to. He sat thinking about the day's events. He knew he had screwed up but he was too "manly" to admit it. He also thought of how cold he had been to Leah. He had been pissed but he shouldn't have taken it out on her like he did. It was of course ½ his fault.

Still going through his files he randomly ended up on Hepatitis' file.

"Still wanted and dangerous." He read.

He though for a second.

'Oh no….Leah.' He thought as he bolted out of the office.

With Leah:

Leah settled into bed tucking herself under her covers when she heard the door squeak.

"Hello?" She said sitting up.

"Hello again pretty lady." Hepatitis said walking in.

She let out a small gasp.

"Wha…what do you want?"

"Well lets just say I know about your 'condition'"

"My what?" She asked, eyebrow raised. She pondered a minute and her mouth fell open. "You know?"

"Just 'cause I'm a virus doesn't mean I don't know when cells split."

He went over and sat on her bed. She pulled the covers up more and leaned away from him.

"Don't worry baby….I wont hurt you…..yet."

With Ozzie:

Ozzie sat pounding his palms on the steering wheel.

"What a damn time to be stuck in traffic." He said angrily. "Come on…I don't have time for this."

He looked for any break in traffic but saw none. He sighed in frustration.

"Leah might not have time for this!"

Drix:

While it seemed as though Leah was helplessly doomed and Ozzie could do nothing, Drix sat around dusting.

He sighed. "I'm bored." He called Ozzie.

"WHAT?" Ozzie screamed on the other line.

"Sorry, is this a bad time?"

"Drix oh my god! Listen I need you to go to Leah's apartment."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it! You may be her last hope."

With Leah:

"What do you want with me?" Leah demanded.

"I'm gonna use your kid as bait for Jones. One wrong move and you both lose the kid."

Leah let out a small shriek. She may not have wanted to be stuck with this but she sure as hell wasn't going to let Hepatitis destroy the one thing she had left to tie her to Ozzie.

"You won't hurt our child." She said maternally.

"You know you're sexy when you're mad." Hepatitis remarked. "I can see what Jones saw in you."

She looked up at him angrily. Behind him she saw Drix sneaking up. Drix put a finger to his mouth and Leah figured she'd play along.

"Oh Hepatitis….You're right. I don't know why I've been hiding my feelings for you."

"Oh I like what I'm hearing baby."

"You know what….I'm gonna give you a little 'gift'."

"What is it?" He asked looking at her.

"It's really special." She said.

Drix came up behind Hepatitis and knocked him out.

"Drix thank you!" She said happily.

"No problem. But Leah we gotta get you somewhere safe for a while."

"But!"

"Leah..think of your child.:

She looked at the floor sadly but finally nodded.
