A/N: Update time :D
"Look Shelly, your first doctor's visit." Undertaker said in a faux cheerful tone as he bopped the child's nose with a cotton swab.
Shellobeth went cross-eyed for a minute and then whimpered as her tummy made yet another gurgling sound but luckily, this time nothing came out of it.
"I still don't see why we had to take her here." Will said sternly, earning a few odd glances from his peers before quickly explaining things. "I mean a human doctor."
"Well, human symptoms, human doctor." Grell said as he leaned against the wall as if it was the most casual conversation ever. "It seemed to make sense, and if worse comes to worse-"
A cotton swab was thrown at him, landing in his hair and then rolling right off as he whipped around and shot daggers at the two behind him. A black fingernail was quickly pointed at a pink cheek of the child as the child sucked her thumb innocently and pointed her own accusing finger at a lampshade.
"If you two weren't so cute I could murder you all." He growled as he rolled his eyes and turned back to Will. "Worse- Then we just take her to the Dispatch before she dies an-"
A yelped escaped from his lips as he hit the ground hard as a shoe made contact with the back of his head. Jumping to his feet, he picked up the shoe, which ended up being a pink ballet flat, and pointed at the two again.
"Stop throwing things at me! You're setting a bad example for the baby!" He growled as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Actually Sutcliff, the baby threw that one." Will said simply as he plucked the shoe from the other man's hands and walked back over to the baby and slid it back on her foot. "But that is beside the matter. Why didn't we take her back to the Dispatch so that she wouldn't have that possibility of dying."
Grell was about to speak but was cut off by the red-haired doctor walking in seconds later with a few vile in her hand and her doctor's jacket on.
"Hello all." She said simply as she walked in between the two men and stopped just before the child. "Now Shelly, I'm going to give you something for your tummy OK sweety?"
Taking the child into her arms and uncorking the bottle, she placed the lip of the glass to the child's lips, only to have it be smacked away from her.
"Now now. This will make you feel better." Angeline said sternly as she took the bottle back in her grip and set the child back in her father's arms and held her mouth open with her fingers.
The liquid smelt vile and yet sweet, which was something any of the adults in the room knew well what it was.
"Oh no, don'-!" Undertaker was cut off by his daughter suddenly puking her guts up all over herself.
Shellobeth cried as her stomach was forced to empty again and this time, her cries were brutal and heartbreaking to those who cared about her.
"By God! Stop doing that! She'll end up puking herself to death!" Grell growled as he stepped forward and snagged the bottle from the doctor and took a few steps back.
"She might have been choking on something! Like, an earring." Angeline said simply as she felt around in the puddle of vomit and picked up what looked to be a red gem. "Fake ones like these, have dye in them, which have the same effect as that liquid I just gave her."
She smiled kindly at the child and rubbed her tummy gently and began to rub the stomach acid off of the gem until it was clean enough to make out again. A heart shape that was bloody red in color. Setting it down, she picked up another bottle and uncorked it, sending a sweet scented liquid into the air that vaguely covered up the smell of puke as she washed it down the baby's dry throat.
"But whose earring is this?" She asked as she turned to face the other's and held out the gem, noticing the other red-head visibly pale.
A shaking, gloved hand reached up to his own ear, which now stands out oddly against his pale face for the ear was bright red.
"What happened to your ear?" Angeline asked as she stepped forward, being a doctor and all, any type of medical case was of interest to her.
She tugged the hand away to see a small chain pierced into it, with an odd golden mess of wires towards the bottom of it. Crimson eyes scanned over to the other ear to see the same chain, the only difference? Once her eyes got to the bottom of it, she saw in place of wires, was a red heart. Her eyes widened, as did the other's, when she matched the gem with the other.
"So it was just a broken earring?" Will asked quickly, trying to ease the tension of the room only to find it growing thicker. "But if that were the case, don't you think that she would have puked it up the first time?"
"Not unless it was lodged, and you didn't notice it broke?" Madame Red asked the other red-head as she looked at the broken chain and frowned as she touched his ear and noticed him wince.
"I didn't." The red-head answered swiftly. "Well, I did but didn't think much of it. What does it matter anyway?"
"Then why wear it still if it broke?" Madame Red pressed a bit further, trying to keep the questions less suspicions sounding.
"Its a pair." He shot back. "My favorite pair for that matter."
"Odd way it broke." Angeline began again, stepping out of the way so the silver-haired man could see what she saw. "Almost looks like someone broke it on purpose."
"ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF TRYING TO KILL HER!?" Grell demanded angrily, not noticing his friend shift the child in his arms and walking over to pluck the earring from his friend to examine it for himself.
Four loops, all made from one wire, were bent out of the way so the gem could fall through. It didn't look at all like it had just broken on its own. A small cry erupted from Shellobeth, causing a deadly quiet to enter the room the moment it ended.
"How did she get a hold of this?" Undertaker asked, sounding more curious than anything. "Shes been in her crib since we got home today."
"I don't know." Grell huffed out, letting his irritation show, unlike his friend. "But I didn't put it there if thats what you're thinking."
"He never said he was." Will said sternly as he took a step closed, making the red-head flinch. "But that brings up the question of how she did get a hold of it."
A straggled growl escaped from the accused as he folded his arms over his chest, shooting even more daggers at his boss.
"Will! You were the only one in her room today when we got back! I only went in there once to wake her up!" Grell shot back, sounding angry.
"Getting awfully defensive, sir." Angeline said in a way that sounded more like 'ass' than 'sir'.
That was the breaking point for the red-head when he saw Will nodding and the two Crevan's averting their gazes.
"Fuck you all." He gasped out in rage as he turned around and picked up his jacket and tossed it over his shoulders. "If I wanted that brat dead then I would've left her in that God forsaken house!"
The door swung open and then slammed shut as he left, his curses soon fading into the night.
"Oh dear." Madame Red muttered as she slid the gem into her pocket and then turned to the family again. "As long as he stays away from her, she should be alright to go home, unless you want her to stay here for the night just to make sure."
The silver and dark haired men got slowly from their chairs and headed toward the door, Will leaving first, and Undertaker staying at the door just a moment longer before speaking.
"I think we'll just take her home, but just in case, perhaps just should stop by tomorrow?" An unfamiliar smile graced his lips for a moment, a much more human looking one as he left the office with a slightly blushing Madame Red.
"O-Oh, I would like that." She said to the now closed door before giggling like a crushing child. "For the baby's check up of course!"
With a soft giggle, she skipped off towards her apartment away from home, oddly enough, connected to her office. Meanwhile, the three reapers walked home, casting their odd glances at one another as they did.
"It would appear our red-headed friend was correct about the woman after all." Will said suddenly, his lips pursing into a thin line.
That was all that was said about the matter, except for the silent promise that was made by the three to keep this much secret from both red-heads for now.
