Hi! I'm rather bored and this story is great for practicing my writing skills, so here's the next chapter. Feel free to review at the end to tell me whatcha think! Enjoy!

3:56 pm

The days following after this new turn of events were rather depressing. Link only came out of his room to eat and talk to I/B and B.O.B. He refused to make any kind of contact with Susan or Dr. C. Susan was now caring for the child with the help of Dr. C. They would watch the child at separate times, and pass him off to each other. Things between them were very awkward. They would start up some small talk on the occasion, but they didn't talk after that except when they were handing over the child. He didn't even have a name, yet. Travis seemed to be the most favored so far, but they weren't sure what the child's last name would be. They were trying to decide if they should give it Dr. C's human last name,Chamberlin,or Susan's maiden name, Murphy. They figured giving it Link's last name would be offensive. Dr. C wanted the child to carry his name, but both Susan and himself didn't know if that would hurt Link or not. They had been trying to talk to him. To explain why things had turned out this way, but Link just wouldn't hear it. He was too mad to be able to even stay in the same room as them. Dr. C sighed as he put down a wrench. He couldn't concentrate on his work. He looked over to where Susan and his son were sitting on the couch as Susan gently played with him. He felt happiness and regret surge through him. Just by looking at him, Dr. C knew the child was special. He had shown some monster abilities that were contributed from both of his biological parents. The child had made a bad habit of crawling on walls and the Quantonium's power made him stronger. He had also shown a sort of smartness about him. He seemed to understand what everyone was saying, and would appear to be listening intently on conversations. Susan caught Dr. C's gaze and gave a weak smile and a motion to come over. He returned the smile as he strode over and took a seat next to them. The child made a motion to go to Dr. C and he gladly took the child from Susan. They sat there in silence for a while as he played with his son.

"I'm so sorry..." Dr. C sighed as he broke the silence. "I didn't intend for this to happen to you..."

"I know you didn't mean for this to happen, Doc." Susan sighed as she put a hand on his shoulder. "Neither of us meant for this to happen, but it did and we'll just have to work with it. It's just...I can't believe Link had to find out this way..."

"I know, my dear. I was looking into time-travel to see if there was a way to go back and stop us from...you know..." Dr. C blushed slightly and straightened up a little. "But the science is proving to be impossible..."

"O-Oh." Susan said as she looked away. "Y-Yeah, I guess that would make sense..."

"My dear," Dr. C said as he fixed her with a questioning look. "Is something wrong?"

"W-Well, it's just...I was always told that things happen for a reason..." She awkwardly said with pink lighting her cheeks. "The concept of going back and stopping...what happened...just goes against that."

"Oh. I see..." Dr. C cleared his throat. "I just figured you would, you know, want to stop us from conceiving..."

"I don't know any more..." Susan sighed and laid her head on Dr. C's shoulder. They settled the child on their touching legs, so they could share the child between their laps. "I love Link and I'm happy being married to him, but, at the same time, I don't regret you and I did what we did. I just hate that Link had to be hurt like this. He had been so looking forward to being a father, and he isn't going to be the only one disappointed. I invited my parents over, so they could see their new grandchild. How am I suppose to explain that I cheated on my husband and that the child isn't his?"

"I promise you this, my dear." Dr. C said as he took one of her hands in his. "I'll support you and try to fix the mess I made. I'll fix your marriage, and help you explain things with your parents."

"Thanks, Doc." She said with tears threatening to come out brimmed her eyes. "I'm glad that it's you I'm going through this with. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else."

"I would have." A voice behind them growled.

They turned around to see Link glaring at them and they instantly moved a few inches away from each other. Susan took the child with her as she moved and watched in horror as Link suddenly ripped Dr. C off the couch. He kept him lifted off his feet and glared daggers at him.

"How could YOU!" He yelled. "We were friends! I know we sometimes fought and would get revenge, but my wife? How could you do something like that to me? You had said you were happy for us when we first put our relationship out in the open! What happened to that? Just had to take the single most important thing away from me, didn't you?"

Link continued his rant. He was letting out his feelings that he had held in since he found out that it wasn't really his kid. He was letting out his anger, confusion, and grief. When he finished yelling, he still held onto Dr. C. He panted as Dr. C nervously looked at him. Dr. C was waiting for what he knew would come next.

He didn't have to wait long.

Link socked Dr. C in his stomach. He let go as Dr. C doubled over in pain and fell to the floor. Susan gasped and rushed over to the fallen scientist. With one hand holding the baby, she helped Dr. C up with her other. He stood, but kept his hand on his stomach.

"Don't worry, my dear..." Dr. C said as he tried to brush himself off. "I deserved that."

"You bet you deserved it." Link snapped. He pointed a finger at Susan. "And you! What were you even thinking?! With my friend? He was the best man at our wedding! Then when the child comes, I find out it was him who knocked you up? Was this the first time it's happened?"

Susan refused to look at him, and gazed at the floor as tears threatened to show themselves again. The baby started to squirm as if it understood the situation at hand.

"Oh my god..." Link said in disbelieve. "It wasn't the first time! How long have you been cheating on me?"

"Link, it's not like that! Just let us explain!" Susan begged. "We didn't-"

"NO!" Link shouted as he stopped her explanation. "I don't think I want to know. Just take your lover and bastard child and get out of my sight."

Link walked away again and heard the baby start crying behind him. He heard Susan's own sobs mixed with the child's and started to feel guilty. He then heard Dr. C trying to soothe them and turned around to see Dr. C embracing Susan and holding the baby as he quickly worked to quiet its cries. He turned away in disgust. It was their own faults. You should never mess with The Missing Link.

5:00 pm

Susan and Dr. C had gotten the baby to take a nap in the crib Dr. C had made for him. It was set up in Susan's room and Susan was sitting on her bed as she watched him sleep. Dr. C had said he was going to go work on a few of his new experiments and left her alone. She sighed and started pacing the room. Her parents were suppose to be arriving anytime now. What was she going to say to them?

Hey, Mom and Dad! Here's your new grandkid, but it isn't my husband's child. It's his bestfriend's because I secretly love him, too! Congrats!

She sighed again and shook her head. She had to be serious about this. She looked down at her son. To her, he was perfect in every sense of the word. He looked normal with the exception of his snow white hair. Maybe he could pass the child off as Link's. She knew it was impossible. One look into his eyes and you'd know otherwise. That's all it took for Monger. She can still remember the look of utter shock on him when he came to see the child. That was the first time she had seen him completely shocked. He had attended the wedding and had congratulated Link and her when he learned of their expectancy. She felt completely embarrassed, but he made no show of judging her and congratulated her. He even offered to watch the child if she needed a break. Would her parents be as understanding as him? She was startled out of her thoughts by a knock on her door. She opened it to find Dr. C standing there with a grim expression on her face.

"Your parents are here?" He told her.

She nodded and grabbed her son. She followed Dr. C to the common room where her parents were chatting with General Monger. B.O.B. and I/B were also in the room, but Link was no where to be found. Everyone turned to watch the new pair that had entered the room.

"Suzie Q!" Her parents exclaimed as they spotted the sleeping baby in her arms.

Her parents embraced her in a group hug, and she relished in their embrace. She wasn't sure how many more she would get after she revealed her secret. They let go of her and looked excitedly at the bundle in her arms.

"He's absolutely adorable, Susan!" Her mother said happily as she took the bundle from her daughter and into her own arms. "I wasn't too sure what he would look like considering your husband was the, well, The Missing Link! What did you guys name him?"

"Well, we haven't choose one yet, but we were thinking about Travis Todd..." Susan said nervously.

"Travis Todd Link." Her father said approvingly. "That's a wonderful name, but where is the new father?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about." Susan said as her eyes flicked to Dr. C standing next to her. "Wake him up."

Her parents looked at her with a confused, but gently woke up Travis without question. The baby slowly opened its amber eyes and giggled at them. They looked at the baby in confusion before they slowly looked back up at Dr. C. They stared at his eyes with slack-jaws then back at the babies.

"It would be Travis Todd Chamberlin or Murphy. We haven't decided which of our last names he would take." Susan said nervously.

"Madam, Sir." Dr. C cut in. "Please don't put any blame on Susan for this. It was my fault and I'm prepared to make up for it and take care of him."

"You better, Doc." Susan's mom snarled. "Or else I'll hunt you down and rip off your-"

"Calm down, honey." Mr. Murphy cut in. "If he says he will, I believe him. Besides, I'm sure they both have a perfectly good reason as to why this...happened."

"Thank you, Daddy." Susan said before hugging him.

She let go and turned to look at her mom who still held Travis. Her mom just stood there looking at Travis before he handed him back. Mrs. Murphy smiled at her daughter reassuringly.

"I trust you know what you're doing, Susan. I'm sure your father is right, and that you have your reasons, but you." She said before she turned to look at Dr. C with a pointed finger. "You better take good care of my child and grandchild. Or else."

"He's already been helping and supporting the child and me, Mom." Susan cut in. "He's a good man."

"Alright." Mrs. Murphy moved off the subject.

They all talked and laughed a little as they all cooed over Baby Travis. Even Monger made some silly faces for the kid. Little did they know, Link was watching them all from the hallway. He glared at how they acted as if nothing was wrong. He sulked away grumbling. It was all of them being distracted by all their own emotions that they would be oblivious to what was about to happen next.
