Beastfire: Hiya!
Chapter 5- Oh No, They've Multiplied!
Sprx and Chiro were now with Ivy.
"So, when do you think you'll have the baby?" asked Chiro.
"Soon," replied the mutant, "the contractions are getting-"
Then, she was hit by the granddaddy of all contractions. Realization flooded all of them…mainly Ivy. Her eyes widened.
"What is it?" asked Sprx.
Her voice came out as a whisper.
"I-I think my water just broke."
Tyr, Dylan, and Harper had just completed the ritual. Gibson came back in.
"Let's see if it worked," he said.
The blue monkey instructed Frus to get back onto the table. He did so, laying back with his hands folded behind his head, looking surprisingly relaxed.
"So, anything left?" he asked.
Gibson examined him and his expression was amazed, to see the least.
"Unbelievable!"
"They're still there, aren't they?"
"No. They're gone."
"You mean the voodoo ritual worked?"
"Sort of. Apparently, the Magog became so bored with all of those attempts, they all self-destructed."
Frus jumped up excitedly.
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
He was just about to respond Gibson got a call from Antauri.
"What's going on, Antauri?" asked Frus, able to hear the call.
"Frus! Gibson! Report to Med Bay immediately!"
They hurried to their destination, as did Tyr, Dylan, and Harper. When they got there, they saw a certain meerkat in labor. Frus ran over to her.
"Are you-"
"Yeah! This is the big one!"
"Really? You sure?"
"YEAH, I'M SURE!"
36 HOURS LATER…
Ivy was still in labor and Frus was at her side, trying to help her through it. He'd been waiting anxiously for it to end, so that he could really be a father and so that she wouldn't have to suffer anymore. Ivy was currently in the process of yelling out the names of every Catholic saint in Italian…and she was an Atheist!
"Holy crap, I think it's comin'!" she yelled.
"Yes, I see a head!" said Gibson. "PUSH!"
"I AM pushing, blue boy!"
After a while, more of the baby became visible. Finally, the child was fully visible and Gibson handed him to her. He looked exactly like his father. Ivy would have taken a moment with her newborn son, if Gibson hadn't interrupted.
"There's another one!"
"Another one! Whaddya mean another one?"
Her question was answered when another baby was gradually making its way out. He was also given to his mother. He, too, was basically a clone of his father.
"Oh, c'mon, don't I get any representation here?" she joked.
"We've got a third one!" Gibson shouted.
"Oh, no, not again!"
The third kid was delivered slowly but surely. When he arrived, he was a small facsimile of his mother, but with shorter hair. After he came into the world, she passed out from a mix of exhaustion and residual pain.
"There's another one, isn't there?" asked Frus.
"No, Frus, there were only three."
By now, Frus was basically jumping and dancing for joy. He ran to see his three boys and looked at his miniature doubles. Since he wouldn't have been there if not for Tyr, Dylan, and Harper. Turning to the first one, he named him Tyr and the second was named Dylan. Though not endowed with telepathy, Frus could still read Ivy's mind and knew that she wanted to name the third one Seamus, using Harper's first name.
Since their work there was basically done, the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant left. Once they were gone, Ichigo came in with Zakuro. She saw the triplets and her eyes grew into large sparkly orbs. She handed her daughter to Antauri and rushed over to Ivy, Frus, and their kids.
"Oh my God!" she squealed. "They are so cute!" She picked up the three boys at once.
Zakuro began to cry loudly, jealous of the attention that she wasn't getting. Her father was able to quiet her until Ichigo came back over to them and took Zakuro back. She and Antauri kissed each other, then she left the room. Frus held all three boys, came over to his unconscious girlfriend, and went to sleep by her side. The boys all went to sleep as well.
Beastfire: Aaaawww…aren't they just all so cute together?
Ivy: Wow…could Frus be any happier? (Frus is shown having a one-mongoose party)
Beastfire: Next time, the tradition goes into effect with the triplets.
Ivy: Tradition…you mean…
Beastfire: Yup! Someone gets their hands on the kids, and someone else, too…
Frus: (stops partying suddenly) Why do I have a bad feeling about that?
Ivy: Well, you've gotten to know my boss, am I right?
Frus: Yes…oh, well…(to Emec) Hey, boss? Can you give my mother the good news? Please? I think she'd be happy to know that she's a grandmother. (babies start crying) BEASTFIRE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM?
Beastfire: I'm just showing them a picture of that sailor suit you were forced to wear in my last story!
Frus: Look, I'VE just recovered from that, so quit trying to traumatize my sons with it!
Ivy: Hey, boss, if ya don't leave us alone, there's gonna be trouble, capisce?
Beastfire: YAY!
Ivy: Get us away from her! THE WORKING CONDITIONS HERE ARE THE WORST!
Frus: Oh, don't I know it! SHE'S A PSYCHO!
Beastfire: YAY! PLEASE REVIEW!
