-Calling Dr. Creed
Chapter 49
Meanwhile…
Back on the island, where Jubilee was going into labor…
Victor Creed was currently trying everything he could to keep Jubilee calm, "Take it easy, Snow. It's all gonna be okay. Just relax-"
"I'll relax when you get that damn doctor outta here!"
"Mrs. Creed, I-"
"For the last time, you quack, I ain't his wife!"
Creed sighed and turned to the good doctor, "Maybe you should step outside and let me take over from here."
The doctor looked insulted, "If I do that, then who's going to deliver your wife's- Excuse me, your mistress's child?"
"I've been around a long time, doc. I think I can take over from here."
"But what if something goes wrong? What are you going to do them?"
"Then I'll have you come back in and take over."
"But, Mr. Creed, I strongly think-"
"Well, I don't care what ya think! My woman's going into labor an' yer presence is pissin' her off. If my kid doesn't come out alive an' breathin' I'll come after yer ass and make ya wish that you were never born. Now get the hell out, ya stubborn crack pot quack!"
"Very well… If that is what you wish…" with that the doctor left the room, slowly closing the bedroom door behind him. Before the door was closed completely, the doctor mumbled under his breath, "Pussy whooped bastard."
"I heard that!" Creed almost started after him, but Jubilee's moans stopped him. Turning around, he noticed that she was much more calmer and that her powers reduced to a light crimson glow. Angry at the fact that the doctor just insulted him and at the fact that Jubilee made him throw him out, he couldn't help but snap at her, "Ya happy now? Ya just made me kick out the only doctor in this entire damn house and there's no here to deliver the baby except me!"
"It's okay…" she panted, "I can walk you through this."
"Walk me through this! You ain't never been pregnant before, so since when did you become the fuckin' expert on baby delivering!"
"Relax Victor… You forget that I lived in a mansion with a certified doctor. Hank's taught me a thing or two about delivering babies, hell he even had me help him with a few deliveries. As long as the baby ain't turned around or has the umbilical corn wrapped around it's neck, then everything should be okay."
"I don't see how you can be so confident and relaxed right now…" he sat down on the edge of the bed, "Ain't ya scared?"
"Terrified." she smiled, "But I'm confident that our baby will come out alive and healthy. I mean, just look at who he's got for parents. Two mutants with healing factors and who are survivors."
"That don't mean anythin'. Mystique and I were both mutants who were survivors and we ended up with a human kid, who hated mutants with a passion."
"Just have faith…"
Creed sighed, a smiled quirked at the side of his mouth, when he thought of something, "Ya said he…"
"What?"
"You just said that our kid was a he." he chuckled.
"Only because I've been hearing you call our baby a he so much that it's now finally rubbing off on me."
They stared into each other's eyes. Without breaking the gaze, Creed crawled over to Jubilee, hovering over her body, so not to hurt the baby, and kissed her deeply. Jubilee returned the kiss with the same passion.
He broke away and smiled, "Even though yer all bloated up like a balloon an' angry, ya still look beautiful."
"Aw," she smiled, but her smile quickly switched to agonizing pain, "Not to ruin the moment here, but… Could you possibly hurry up and get his damn thing out of me!"
"Oh, shit!" he quickly moved off of her and positioned himself between her legs, "What do I do!"
"Well one… You can untie my legs, so that I can prop em' up."
"Right." quickly he cut the bonds with his claws and helped her get into birthing position.
"GAH!" a contraction hit, "Okay-OW! Now look between my legs… Ugh… If you see something poking out that wasn't there before… AGH! That'll be the baby's head… Crowing."
He looked between her legs and gulped, "I think it's crowing."
"Oh, fuckin' great! AAAAAGH!" another contraction hit, sooner than the last, "What color is the head?"
"Pink an'… What the hell is that slimy lookin' stuff?"
"Shut up and focus, Victor!" she screamed in pain, as she began to push, "Catch… The baby… An' cut the… Umbilical cord. After that… Tie off the remaining umbilical cord connected to the baby… So that way it don't bleed to death."
"Okay." he watched as she pushed the small form out and caught it before it hit the bed.
"You have to slap it's backside, so that it can get it's first breath of fresh air."
He slapped it and the baby began to cry, he then lifted up the Umbilical cord to see the sex of the baby, "It's a boy!" he laughed with joy, "I knew it!"
Jubilee laughed with joy as well and watch him as he cut the umbilical cord and tied it off at the end. She opened her mouth to speak, but what came out was another painful scream, "Oh, God! What now!"
The scream startled Creed that he almost dropped the baby. Gently placing the baby down on the safe side of the bed, he went back to check to see if there was anything wrong. Looking between her legs, he was amazed to see another head crowning. "Another one!"
"What! AGH! Oh, God! What the hell did you do to me, Victor Creed!"
He caught the baby and repeated the same procedure as the last, "Another boy."
"Great… More testosterone to live with." She laid back and watched Creed place the second baby down next to the first. Smiling, she then tried to sit back up, but her smile quickly turned to horror, when she felt something fall out from between her legs. "Vic…" he faced her and noticed the fear in her eyes, "Something fell out…"
Worried, he checked between her legs again, and saw that one more baby came out. He pulled the baby up and slapped it's backside, but the baby didn't make a sound. They both looked at the baby with fear.
Tears filled Jubilee's eyes, "Victor… The baby-"
Creed didn't wait for Jubilee to finish her sentence, out of instinct he began administering C.P.R. to the baby. He breathed air into it's lungs and gently pumped it's chest, stopping to listen for it's heart heat; nothing. He tried again, but still nothing… He tried one more time and miraculously the baby came to life and began to cry. Creed sighed with relief and looked into Jubilee's eyes, she was crying and smiling. Remembering that she was still bound at the wrists, he quickly removed her bonds, and allowed her to take the revived infant from his hands. After a few minutes, he reluctantly pulled the baby out of her arms, so that he could finish cutting and tying the umbilical cord.
"Looks like you were right too, Snow. It's a girl." he chuckled, as he handed their daughter back to her. "Now…" he looked between her legs again, "Ya ain't got anymore hidin' in there do ya?"
Jubilee laughed, "God help you if I do." she turned her attention on her baby girl, attempting to get her to suckle, which was a success. She then looked at her two sons, whom Creed was already holding with pride and joy; smiling at the site of them. After moment, she began to think, "Vic… I don't think I'm going to haven enough milk for all three of them."
"Don't worry, Snow, I stocked up on baby formula when I went to town a week ago. Ya wanna switch, so that these to can get a drink?" They switched, Creed was now hold their baby girl, and Jubilee allowing their sons to suckle. "Well… Now we gotta name these pups. My idea to name the boy Victor Creed Jr. just went out the window when his brother popped out. What do ya think would be a good name to name em'?"
"I'm not exactly sure about the boys, but I definitely know what to name our little girl."
"What?"
"I'm going to name her Faith, because it was our faith that brought her back to life."
"Faith does sound like a good name." he looked at their boys and thinking hard as to what to name them. Noticing for the first time that one of the boys had black hair and the other blonde. From what he could tell, none of their children had no visible signs of mutant powers, but they definitely had signs of their own personalities. The blonde boy seemed to be more relaxed and calm, he was the one that was born first. The black haired boy was more aggress and eager for the milk. He wanted their names to be strong and have a powerful meaning to them, "The blonde one there, I wanna name Alexander after Alexander the Great and the for the dark haired one, Attila after Attila the Hun."
"You want to name our boys after people who massacred people just to gain their own ideal world? Since when are you a history major?"
"Hey, just because I'm blonde and muscular don't mean that I don't have knowledge of our worlds history."
"Well, I like the name Alexander, but I don't think the name Attila would go so great. I mean, other boys will pick on him to no ends. And don't you pick Hilter for another name, or else I'll smack you."
"Yeah, I guess yer right." he grumbled, "If ya got any suggestions I'd like to hear em'."
"Well, I was always fond of the name Jason, you know like Jason from the Argonauts."
"Jason?" he thought about it for a moment, "Okay. That'll do."
"Too bad those names aren't going to mean anything once they're in the hands of Weapon X." The doctor had re-entered the room, holding some sort of gun, "You'll be coming along too Miss Lee, unfortunately you will have no contact whatsoever with your offspring." Creed started to lay Faith down to attack him, but the doctor pointed his gun at him, "Ah Ah Ah I wouldn't even think about attacking me, Mr. Creed. My orders are simply to bring in your little play thing over there, but they didn't say anything about bringing in your offspring alive. Attack me now and that little whelp will become nothing more than a mere splatter in your hands. And don't try to power up and blast me, Miss Lee, you just might end up cooking your children's goose."
"Wanna bet!" she raised her hand, but the doctor's words were faster than.
"Think about your offspring, Miss Lee, and think about where my gun is pointing. Would you be so careless as to risk the life of your darling baby girl, whom your lover worked so hard to bring back to life? You have a 50 change of killing me instantaneously, without any harm coming to her, but there's also another 50 chance that my trigger happy finger might be faster than you pitiful blasts. Now. What shall it be, hmm?"
Both Creed and Jubilee growled furiously, the tension between the two was enough to cause the baby's to wail.
Creed turned to Jubilee, speaking low enough for only her to hear, "Can you move?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to hand you Faith, once I do that, I'll jump him, and when I do… You run. Alright?"
"Yes."
"What are you two doing?" the doctor held the gun even tighter. "Whatever it is, you best not do it. I have the upper hand here." he noticed Creed turning his back towards, as if he wasn't there, "Don't you turn your back towards you, you filthy mutant! Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Once Creed gave Faith to Jubilee, he turned around, and without warning, pounced on the doctor. Jubilee gathered all three infants in a comfortable position and bolted out of the room. Before leaving the house, she darted into the nursery, laid all three babies down, and began gathering things for them to survive. Just as soon as she reached for the baby formula, she heard the sound of an energy gun go off, and the sounds of Creed's pain filled screams. She spun around in time to see the doctor come out of their bedroom door, holding a smoking gun, and a confident smile on his face. Jubilee charged herself up to blast him, but he was quicker, he fired off an energy shot just barely missing her. It grazed her shoulder and to her horror, her wound did not heal.
"Nifty little gun. It not only does physical damage, but it also nullifies mutant powers as well." he approached the nursery door, Jubilee jumped in front of her babies to protect them, "Now… Hand over the brats like a good little girl and I promise you that no one else has to get hurt."
Jubilee's heart raced. Creed was nowhere to be seen, the doctor's energy gun was cocked and ready for another shot, and she had no way to protect her babies if he shot her one more time.
'God…' she prayed, 'Help me!'
