Soon, Caboose ran into the base with the impression that Andy was dead.
"hhuhh, everybody stay here. I'll be right back." Church groans.
"Wait, what do you want me to do about the pregnant guy?" Doc asks.
"Its not mine." Tucker quickly says.
"He is not pregnant." Church denies.
"And what about Andy?" Caboose asks.
"Thats not Andy, just look, stay here!" Church exclaims.
"What about-" Kaede starts.
"You'll be fine. I won't be gone long." Church quickly assures before making a hasty exit.
"Ahw, would this be a bad time to mention that my stomach just started hurting really bad?" Tucker groans.
"Oh boy, Caboose? Better go boil some water." Doc advises.
"How can you think of soup at a time like this?" Caboose asks.
"No, Caboose. He just needs some water boiled so we can help Andy." Kaede says.
"Okay." Caboose says before taking off.
"Boil as much as you can!" She yells to him. "That should keep him busy for awhile." She says back to Doc.
"Good. I don't actually know what we need boiled water for anyway." Doc says.
"Surprising no one." Kaede mutters to herself. "I'm going to go find Church."
"No, Kaede. I need you here to help with the delivery." Doc says.
"What?!" Kaede exclaims.
"Usually, when a baby is to be delivered, a doctor and/or a female are the ones to do it. By that logic, you're even more qualified than I am." Doc explains.
"I'm not staring down Tucker nether regions to watch a baby come out." Kaede affirms. "Aren't you at least somewhat trained at this?"
"Supposedly." Doc answers.
"Do the job we hired you for." Kaede bluntly states.
"Fine, geez." Doc mutters.
"I'm back." Caboose announces, lugging around two large jugs of boiled water.
"Great, just set those down, Caboose." Doc orders.
"Ohhhhhhhh!" Tucker exclaims.
"Thats it Tucker, keep pushing!" Doc encourages. While he is busy with that, Kaede and Caboose sneak out of the room.
"Come in Church, come in." Caboose calls on his radio.
"Tell him to get his ass back here." Kaede hastily says.
"I'm doing that." Caboose tells her. "Oh that, thats why I'm calling you. Um, the reds already used their radio aaaaaaaand, O'mallys gone."
"When did this happen?" Kaede asks him.
"Awe, come on Kaede, I mean, its super obvious." Caboose says.
"No, its not. I mean, Doc hasn't acted like O'mally in awhile, but how do you know that the reds are involved?" She asks.
"Ohh, hee hee hee hooooooo, huuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhh!" The two hear Tucker groan from the other room.
"Congratulations, its a - thing. eugh." Doc says.
"Honk honk, honnnnnnnnk honnnnnnnnnnnnnnk!" Exclaims a new voice.
"Oh well, thats the other thing I called about, um, Tucker had his gross baby." Caboose says on his radio. There is a moment of silence.
"What did he say?" Kaede asks.
"I don't know. I think he's coming back though." Caboose says.
"Aw. Kaede, Caboose, come look at your new team member." Doc calls out to them. Figuring they have nothing to lose, the two walk back into the room.
"So Doc, is it a boy or a g-" Kaede starts, but stops upon seeing the child in Docs arms. It is an alien of the same origin as Crunchbite, but thats not all. On its head sprout two small white horns.
"He is kind of adorable." Caboose admits.
"Isn't he? Especially with those little horns, they look almost like cat ears." Doc says.
"They're like Kaedes." Caboose says.
"Don't be silly Caboose. Kaede doesn't have horns." Doc laughs. Caboose takes Kaede's hat off to prove his point. Kaede, meanwhile has broke.
"Oh. Who's the father then?" Doc asks "Or are Kaede and the alien both the father?"
"That would be awesome. Having two dads." Caboose says. "I wish I had two dads."
"What... I don't..." Kaede stutters out.
"Kaede. Say something... its your... is it a boy or a girl?" Caboose asks.
"Boy." Doc answers.
"Say something to your son." Caboose says.
"He... he can't be my son. I've never had sex with anyone least of all Tucker." Kaede says.
"How do you explain the horns? The ones that look exactly like yours." Doc asks.
"Its a coincidence. My horns were probably caused by a DNA malfunction and he has the same case." Kaede explains.
"Again, they look exactly like yours. Thats a pretty big coincidence." Doc says.
"Exactly. Even so, you don't need medical school to know that a person can't have two biological fathers. It was the alien that impregnated Tucker, its the father." Kaede explains.
"Dang it, thats actually a good point." Doc relents.
"Guess he will have to stay with one plain old dad." Caboose says.
"Speaking of which, whats his name?" Kaede asks.
"Don't know, Tucker will have to come up with a name when he wakes up." Doc says.
"Blargh! Blargh!" Tuckers son cries.
"Wakes up? How can he be asleep?" Kaede questions.
"Oh, he's not asleep. He's in a coma." Doc replies.
"Blargh! Honk!" The baby cries.
"I guess its feeding time." Doc exclaims.
"Do we even know what it can feed on?" Kaede questions. The Baby then leaps out of Docs arms and bites Kaede.
"Ahhhhhh! What the hell!" Kaede exclaims.
"What if he eats us?" Caboose asks as Doc prys the baby off Kaede, leaving a large bite mark on Kaede's arm to leak blood.
"I don't think he eats us." Doc answers. "He just likes to drink our blood."
"Oh good. I was worried for a second." Caboose sighs.
"That is still cause... for... worry." Kaede says, putting a hand to her head. Why was she feeling dizzy all of a sudden?
"Blargh! Blargh!" The baby cries.
"Looks like the little guys still hungry." Doc notes.
"I don't want to feed him." Caboose says. "He might bite."
"He does bite." Doc says. "What if I gave you a cookie and glass of orange juice for feeding him."
"I will feed him lots of food." Caboose says.
"Hasn't he had enough blood?" Kaede asks, taking a moment to sit down. Caboose takes off his glove and the alien bites unto him, sucking his blood.
"Nope. The little guys really hungry." Doc laughs.
"Let me rephrase that. Haven't you fed the baby enough of OUR blood?" Kaede says. The baby then leaps off of Caboose and starts hyperactivity running around the base.
"Okay, maybe he's had a little to much." Doc admits.
"I feel dizzy." Caboose says.
"Hey Doc, what the hells going on in there?" They hear Church yell from outside. Doc walks to the entrance of the base to explain to Church what is going on, Leaving Kaede and Caboose on their own.
"He's not O'mally, but he's gonna kill us." Kaede groans.
"Need to get to Church." Caboose moans.
"Yeah, together Caboose." Kaede says. The two prop themselves up on each other and walk, almost drunkenly to the entrance of the base.
"Is a miracle to see nature at work." Doc says as the two enter.
"I think the dizziness got worse." Kaede comments.
"Are they going to be okay?" Church asks. Good, they wouldn't have to waste time explaining why they looked like a couple of drunks.
"Tuckers kid drank half a gallon between the two of them. Isn't that cool? I think he's going to be a linebacker. Or a vampire. Or a vampire linebacker. That'd be crazy!" Doc exclaims.
"Ohhhhhhh." Caboose awes.
"Can we please turn down the brightness of the lights... or better yet, turn them off." Kaede moans.
"Anyway, blood is pretty important, so Caboose and Kaede are bound to have some side effects like dizziness, or nausea, or sensitivity to light-"
"I think I'm going to stop standing up now." Caboose moans.
"No no, Caboose. I can't-" Kaede warns, too late. The two collapse unto the concrete.
"-Or passing out." Doc finishes.
"Church if I die I want you to have my orange juice." Caboose groans.
"This is about to become Nyu's problem in a few minutes." Kaede says before passing put cold.
Nyu awakens to feel the side effects that were hampering Kaede and are currently tormenting Caboose. Why did she feel this way? This wasn't like all the other times she woke up.
"Alright, thats it. Get out of the way Doc. I'll take care of this." She hears Church say.
"I can't feel my torso." Caboose comments.
"Nyuuuuuuuuu..." Nyu groans realizing the same thing. Please go away soon, she thinks to the effects.
"I don't think so. A newborn is really susceptible to infection, and disease. And cuddling." Doc explains. "I only wanna expose it to as few people as possible." Cuddling? Nyu liked cuddling. She wondered what was going on.
"Doc, don't worry, I'm not gonna give it a cold. I'm just gonna go in there, step on its neck and shoot it in the head. Because thats how I roll." Church responds.
"Well, now you're defiantly not coming in. And I think we're gonna send back your shower gift too." Doc says.
"I'm still laying here. Why won't anybody help me?" Caboose asks.
"Yes." Nyu adds, both still on the floor. "Nyu don't feel good."
