Birds and Bees

Chapter Two

Later on that day, Wildwing was once again stuck with the task of saving his brother; Nosedive had gotten into trouble with Duke for stealing his saber and messing with his hair.

"Wildwing, I have had enough of that kid, the least you can do is hand him over!" Duke was furiously trying to steal Nosedive from his brother's protection.

"Duke, he's sorry for what he's done, he didn't mean anything malicious by it." Wildwing turned to his brother and stared angrily at him, "You are sorry, aren't you?" He raised his eyebrows and scowled, signaling for Nosedive to follow his lead.

"Uh, yeah, I'm really sorry Duke, here have your saber back, and I didn't mean to mess up your hair, dude." Nosedive smiled sheepishly, still hiding behind his brother, as he shakily handed Duke his saber back.

"Yeah, whatever," Duke growled while putting his saber away, "You're lucky that your brother is always here to keep you out of trouble. If he wasn't protecting you right now I'd………"

"Hey guys let's go to the Rec. Room and watch TV, eh?" Wildwing suddenly blurted out, wishing to keep any more fighting from occurring. They all nodded cautiously and left, Wildwing sighed as he followed Duke and Nosedive out of the room, wondering if his day could get any worse.

When the three ducks entered the Rec. Room, they found Tanya and Grin already sitting on the couch, reading a book and meditating, respectfully.

"Uh, hi guys," Tanya faced them as she put her book aside; the guys greeted her and sat down as well.



"Hey Wildwing," Tanya began warily, "Where's Mal? I haven't seen her all afternoon." Tanya was worried as to Mal's whereabouts; usually she was working out or hanging around her husband.

"Yeah, where's my sis?" Nosedive asked, diving into one of his new comics.

"Oh, she went to the mall, I think." Wildwing spoke in a hollow voice.

"What do you mean you ………" the shrill ringing of the phone interrupted Tanya.

Nosedive put his comic down and ran to the phone before any one could even think of getting it.

"The Mighty Ducks Command Center, Nosedive speaking. How can I help you?" Nosedive picked up the phone in a rush; he always tried to be the first to get it in case the call was for him. After a few minutes Nosedive's face turned red and he screamed angrily into the phone, "Hey man, do I sound like a kid to you?!" Nosedive started stamping his feet on the floor, "I am not a kid, I'm an adult!"

Tanya rolled her eyes and went over to Nosedive, grabbing the phone away from him. "Uh, sorry about that, may I ask who's calling?" Tanya paused to listen for a good five minutes until a look of concern quickly spread across her face, "T-thank you Doctor, w-we're on our way………" Tanya slowly hung the phone back on the receiver, turning solemnly back to the four Avians behind her.

"What's the matter Tanya?" Wildwing's demanding tone insisted that she tell him the facts of the phone call.

"Uh, y-you're not going to l-like this," Tanya stammered nervously, afraid of the wrath that Wildwing could impose on her for the news she was about to share.

"Tanya, how do you know that I'm not going to like it unless you tell me what it is?" Wildwing used a less forceful tone, finally seeing that he was scaring her.

"That was the doctor from O'Connor Hospital. He wanted to tell us that Mallory was sent there after she fainted in the mall." Tanya's voice held a tinge of worry, as she was concerned for her best friend.

"What?!? Is she okay?!?" Wildwing's heart was sickened with worry for his wife.

"The doctor just said that we had to get there," Tanya began to grab her purse and other essentials that she would need at the hospital.

"Well, what are we waiting for? My sister-in-law needs us!" Nosedive spoke up on behalf of Wildwing; he knew that the elder Flashblade was much too stunned to say anything.

Wildwing rushed out of the room, almost forgetting to grab the keys to the Migrator. The rest of his team quickly followed him.

The ducks had been waiting for two hours in the waiting room of O'Conner Hospital; Wildwing was walking in circles making everyone more nervous than they already were. Finally, Mallory's doctor walked in, trying to flag down the Ducks.

"Is there a Mr. Flashblade here? Uh, Mallory Flashblade's husband?" The doctor called out in a demeanor that was much calmer than that of any of the ducks.

Wildwing practically jumped out his seat and nearly knocked it over, running over to the doctor. "I'm her husband! Is she ok?" His face was etched with worry and desperation, he had been kept waiting far too long to hear news about his beloved Mallory.

"Okay Mr. Flashblade, I think this is good news. Well, it would be to me since I'm married and my wife and I have ………" The doctor was cut off by Duke,

"Spit it out doc, can't you see that my buddy here is worried to death?" Duke scowled angrily and gave the doctor a look of impatience, trying to get him to hurry up.

"Okay, okay………Well, congratulations Mr. Flashblade, your wife is two months pregnant! I'll come back out and call for you when she gets to a point where she's ready to have visitors." The doctor nodded at Wildwing and disappeared back into the crowd of people; all the Ducks could do was stare at Wildwing in astonishment.
