Chapter 1: Waiting for baby blue
Finally the day arrived. Today the former super heroine and villain, Bubbles Utonium and Boomer Keane Jojo would become parents.
In the waiting room of the hospital the rest of their family waited. Even Mojo Jojo showed up, surprising everyone as he hadn't been particularly close to his sons ever since they were adopted by Ms Keane years ago. That changed when the blue couple announced their pregnancy, and Mojo slowly began to reconnect with his sons and in-laws. It was still mostly a formal relation, though. Everyone assumed that he would just give a polite congratulation to the Bubbles and Boomer. But here he was, holding a little shopping bag with a present for the newborn. He insisted that despite the complicated relation that he had had with all of them, the birth of his first grandchild wasn't an event he wanted to miss. His words almost drove Ms Keane to tears.
Buttercup then decided to change the topic reminding everyone of their bets on the baby's gender. She, Butch, and Ms Keane thought that it was a boy, while Blossom, Brick (only because his girlfriend bribed him) and Professor insisted that it'd be a girl. "Bubbled was very excited, so it's a she" stated the pink puff.
"Well, the obstetrician he said that if her bump had a circular shape it was a male. And last time I checked it had, so it's a boy (*)" the words of the green ruff made Blossom and her father stirred. Bubbles' obstetrician, Doctor Bishop, was one of the best in Townsville, but the man was also quite…eccentric. The man believed in science as much as in astrology; "No need to worry, this morning my horoscope foreshadowed positive results", was what he told Bubbles when he first checked on her. And when Professor and Blossom questioned him he insisted that he preferred to "proceed knowing that the alignment of the planets will be on his side".
"I think that her belly looked more oval than rounded" pointed out Professor.
Brick turned to his monkey father/creator noticing that the monkey was in deep thought, "What do you think dad?"
"This chat actually made me consider the possibility of a multiple pregnancy" Everyone turned to look at him. "But if that's the case they would've bought more things, right?" Brick was certain that if their younger brother was keeping that kind of information from them he'd find out months ago. However, the blues hadn't let anyone see the room for the child, so they couldn't delete that option.
"I don't know. They've been so secretive about everything"said Blossom.
"Yeah, with that big belly Bubbles could be indeed hiding another baby" added the green puff. Bubbles wasn't tall, she was only 5 ft 2 inches.
Meanwhile in the labor room:
"You can start pushing Ms Utonium" and so Bubbles did, while her husband stood by her side and held her hand. But those words also triggered anxiety in the soon to be parents. They had eagerly waited for nine months for this moment, and all of the sudden they were scared, as if all this time hadn't been enough for them to be ready. Not only because this was their first child, but also this was going to be the first naturally born child of the Chemical X; what if the child was unstable, like Bunny?
Time went by. Bubbles was getting tired and Boomer was on the verge of having a panic attack. Their uneasiness increased, what if they messed up? What about its powers? Will they be able to keep them under control? And if the child was powerless? They haven't considered that.
The doctor told the blond woman to push one last time.
They heard a tiny whimper, and all their fears began to slowly evaporate. Instead, a warm feeling of joy began to invade them.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy boy" Doctor Bishop looked at them as he raised the baby so that the parent could see their son. Both stare with awe at the new member of the family.
"Welcome to this mad, mad, mad world…" Boomer began to say with a broken voice.
"Billy" finished Bubbles with tears of happiness in her eyes.
