I don't Own the Mighty Ducks.
Birds and Bees
Chapter Four
It was a quiet afternoon at the pond, the four male Ducks sat in front of the TV watching a movie, as Mallory and Tanya had been gone for the day. Tanya had insisted in having a girls outing for a sort-of baby shower, and even though Wildwing had not wanted them to go out without the rest of team, he had let them anyways. Mallory was on her last week of her eighth month of pregnancy, and had grown mentally and physically. Even though she had grown more understanding, she still had a temper. Nosedive had put worms in her boots twice, and she had gone ballistic on him, as was her trademark. One thing was for sure, Mallory was still the same in some ways. While the girls had been gone, the guys had watched the movie Dare Devil, and now that they had finished, they were just sitting around and talking.
"So Wildwing, you're almost a dad, how do you feel about that?" Duke asked.
"Well, I would have to say it's a new feeling, but it's a good one, knowing that someone needs you and is depending on you. It's a special feeling, I love it." Wildwing beamed with pride.
Everyone smiled happily for their leader, knowing that he would make a wonderful father. Suddenly a thought occurred to Nosedive, it had been about four hours since the girls had left, they should have already been home.
"Don't you guys think Mallory and Tanya should have been home, like, an hour ago?" Nosedive tried to keep his tone casual, remembering that nothing bad had actually happened.
"Well, Tanya did say that they were going to be gone most of the day. So there's nothing really to worry about. Besides, they would have called if something had happened," Duke stated calmly, while laying back to relax.
"Yeah, they would have called," Wildwing said slowly, as if he was taking a mental note.
"So Wildwing, have you and Mallory thought of any baby names?" Grin asked, after he had stepped out of thought and had taken everything in.
"Uh, yeah, some, but we aren't really sure yet," replied Wildwing.
Nosedive was going to try to get the gender of the baby out of his brother, but like every other time, Wildwing would never let the information out. He would just reply, "You'll see Dive, don't worry." He would always have a grin on his face when he said it. So, Dive just the let subject alone and decided to wait it out.
"You guys want to watch TV?" Nosedive asked.
Everyone agreed, and Dive flipped on the television.
Meanwhile, the girls had been enjoying themselves and were at the food court, eating. They had been at the mall shopping, just looking and talking, as they tired from all the walking, they decided to sit down for something to eat.
"Mallory, stop it would you? Please eat something." Tanya scolded, while biting into her Big Mac.
"No, I'm fine," said Mallory from the other side of the table.
"Ok, I thought you weren't eating because you thought you were fat or something.
"No, it's not that." Mallory spoke in a hushed tone, placing her hands on her swollen belly.
"Mal if you're lying or something, you're not fat, you're just pregnant. The baby's almost out and then you will be back to normal." Tanya said, finishing her food.
"Well, yes that's the bright side, but Tanya I am afraid that the child won't love me. What if I fail to be a good mother?" Mallory said with fear in her eyes.
"Oh Mallory, Don't say that. The baby will love you to death, it will love Wildwing too." Tanya said, as if stating a fact.
"I hope you're right, now let's get back home before Wing comes out looking for us and tears down the whole city." Mallory said as the two girls got up and left the mall laughing.
Back at home everyone was glad to have the girls back. Wildwing in particular was glad of their presence; he was getting ready to go out and search for them, but was now much calmer since Mallory's return. The six ducks were now in the Rec. Room, talking.
"So, do you think Mal will be ready to play when hockey season starts up again?" Dive asked.
"Yes, I suppose she'll be ready. But, who's going to take care of the baby while we play?" Wildwing said, as if as asking himself.
"Wing, let's worry about that when it happens, ok?" Mallory said calmly from the side of him, getting up to leave.
"Where are you going Mal?" Wing asked, helping her up.
"I will be back." Mallory said flatly and left.
"So anyhow, how was the mall Tanya?" Duke asked with curiosity.
"It was fine, although we didn't find any good sales. But, it was still ok."
"Yes, sales are nice…" Grin said, finally stepping into the conversation.
"Oh Nosedive, Thrash and Mookie said that they have something to show you when you had time to go over to the comic shop." Tanya said.
"Coolio, I think I'll go later…Hey, don't you guys think Mal has taken a long time?" Nosedive asked, finally realizing that a certain red head was not there.
"Yeah, she has…" Wildwing was cut off by a blood curdling scream.
"WILDWING! It's time! But it's too early…no…Wing…" Mallory came charging into the room, out a breath and sweating. As soon as Wildwing saw her, he ran to her side.
"Don't worry, everything's going to be ok." Wildwing held her hand tightly. "Duke, go get the Migrator started…Tanya, please get Mal's bag, Grin, call the doctor and Dive, help me get her to the Migrator." Wildwing was giving commands as if he was on the ice, and everyone rushed and did as they were told. Within minutes, they were gone to the hospital.
As soon as they had gotten to the hospital, the nurses took Mallory in as Wildwing followed them. Everything happened in a huge rush, no one had been able to think straight. Everyone worried because the child was coming prematurely, but the doctor assured them that being born a month early wouldn't hurt the child at all. It had been six hours since the other four had heard anything, and they were scared that something bad was happening.
"Do you guys want anything to drink or eat?" Tanya asked, getting up.
They all shook their heads and Tanya sat down again,"Yeah, I don't feel like eating either."
"Do you think everything's ok?" Nosedive voiced his thoughts for the millionth time. Out of all the Ducks, he was the most nervous that something bad would happen.
"Kid, don't worry, everything will be fine." Duke spoke as if stating a simple fact, but in all actuality, he wasn't so sure of his statement.
"Yes Nosedive, everything will be fine. You will be an uncle for sure, I can feel it." Grin said calmly.
"Of that Grin, you're right." A voice came from behind the ducks. It was Wildwing, standing there looking happier then ever.
"WILDWING! Is Mal okay? What about the baby?" Nosedive screamed.
"Yeah, Wildwing don't keep us waiting." Tanya sounded impatient.
"Alright, alright!" Wildwing chuckled, "Mallory is better then ever, and Julia is a perfectly healthy baby."
"Julia?" They questioned him in chorus.
"Yes the baby's a girl. Her full name is Julia Abigail Flashblade, and she is very beautiful. You guys will get to meet her soon." Wildwing said with a smile.
"So I have a niece, I like the sound of that! I can nickname her Julie! I like it, don't you Wing?" Nosedive was fidgeting with excitement.
"Yeah, I do." Wing said. "Hey guys, I have to go and be with Mallory, I'll come back and get you guys when she's ready to see you. Then you can meet 'Julie'." Wildwing smiled and made a quoting motion with his hands as he used Nosedive's nickname for his daughter. With that, Wildwing left the rest of the ducks to think about the newest member of the team and family.
A/N: In chapter 5 I will explain why Wing and Mal chose the name Julia Abigail but for now I will tell you what the name's meanings.
Julia: Youthful
Abigail: Father's Joy.
Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the absence, I've been very packed with homework and school stuff. But now, the year is almost over and hopefully this summer I will get more stories up and finish this one, there's just one more chapter to go. Well, I hope you enjoyed chapter four. Please review, they are really helpful so I can see what I need to work on. I don't want flames, if you have something against my story, keep it to yourself. Well, again I would like to thank my beta-reader (Jessica) because without her, I don't really think I would still be writing. Glomps Bye!
