Chapter 11.

Murdoc ran over to Noodle and 2D. Noodle's eyes were open, but just barely. 2D gazed down at her.

"Noodle?" Murdoc threw the bloodstained knife aside and it landed with a clatter. He dashed up beside them, only to be pushed away. "Wot tha?"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Noodle screamed. Murdoc stared questioningly at her. "Y-you hurt 2D!" Noodle continued.

"No I-" Murdoc's sentence was cut off by her.

"JUST GET AWAY YOU SON OF A BITCH! GET AWAY!" Noodle struggled to get out of 2D's grasp so she could kick Murdoc, but 2D held down onto her shoulders tightly.

"Noodle! I just want ta help you."

2D looked up at the Satanist sympathetically.

"I got 'er Muds…..you can leave." 2D sighed.

"You sure? I don't want anythin' ta happen to her or tha kid." 2D nodded and Murdoc stood up, then he slowly turned and walked away and out of sight. 2D began to lift Noodle carefully, suddenly she began to cough hysterically and her already pale face got even whiter. With one last glance at Crash's motionless corpse, 2D picked Noodle up and ran into the hospital. He hurriedly kicked the large double doors open, since Noodle was in his arms, and sprinted to the receptionist's desk. 2D slammed into the counter and ignored the horrible pain this caused him. The receptionist jumped slightly at 2D's sudden entrance.

"….hi…?"

"TAKE HER! QUICK!" 2D shouted. She obeyed and grabbed Noodle just before 2D collapsed to the ground.

"DOCTOR!" the receptionist cried. Two doctors ran in from another room.

"What's going on Jenna?" asked one, as he stared from Noodle to 2D quickly. The other doctor grasped 2D's thin shoulders and hoisted him up easily.

"Save….the girl," 2D's voice shaking because of the pain. A splotch of red blood was now forming on the back of his shirt. The stitches had probably come undone.

"What happened?" the receptionist questioned.

"S-syringe." 2D stuttered, a doctor still holding him up the best he could since the doctor was much shorter.

"She was drugged?" she questioned.

"A guy named Crash did this! JUST SAVE HER!" 2D shouted, causing the three to jump. 2D's horrible coughing returned as he shook weakly. The receptionist ran to an unoccupied room with Noodle in her arms.

"It's time we got you some help…." The doctor holding 2D up said. 2D broke away from him and stood up himself.

"I'm okay! SAVE THE GIRL!" 2D yelled, suddenly turning away to cough once more, and when he stopped, he stared at his blood-soaked hand. He leaned against the wall in agony and slowly slid down.

"Nurse? Some help please!" the doctor called. A nurse ran out into the lobby. As soon as she spotted 2D, she helped him up.

"You need medical attention now!" she informed him. 2D pushed her away quickly.

"I DON'T WANT ANYTHING UNTIL I KNOW SHE'S OKAY!" he snapped.

"She'll be fine. But she won't be if you're not!"

"SHE'LL BE FINE IF YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER!"

The nurse pulled forward a nearby wheelchair and shoved it into the back of 2D's long legs, causing him to fall into it and sit.

"Look, if you don't do something now, you're going to die! And then that girl will do the same to herself! Now let us help you!" the nurse pleaded as she began to push the chair by its medal bars. 2D coughed awfully.

"LEAVE ME ALONE! SHE'LL BE FINE! SHE'LL BE FINE!" 2D hollered as he tried to get up, but stopped when a sharp needle pierced his shoulder and some blue liquid was shot into him. He swayed a bit, and his eyes drooped closed. "She'll…..be……fine……." 2D mumbled, and then passed out. The nurse sighed in relief and handed the doctor the needle.

"Now we can help him!" she sighed, and pushed 2D into the room where Noodle was and she and the doctors could sort him out.

-One Hour Later-

Russel sat outside Noodle and 2D's room on a chair that was obviously too small for the bulky New Yorker. He shifted uneasily and glanced at the clock again. The hands on the clock moved slowly as if taunting him. Suddenly, it completely froze. Russel raised one thick eyebrow questioningly. After a good, long five seconds, the clock hand continued its pointless journey around the stupid circle. Russel sighed.

"Dumb clocks…." He mumbled under a heavy breath. He looked around for a bit, and when he confirmed that no one was in the area, he quickly scratched his arse. Then returned to sitting promptly in the chair. He was now growing bored after a LONG time of sitting and staring around. Russel sighed heavily and was muttering on and on to himself about how much he despised hospitals, when he heard someone walk up in front of him. Russ glanced up and, as soon as he saw the doctor, he nearly jumped out of the chair.

"How are they?" Russel questioned. The doctor stared awkwardly at him for a while, and then smiled.

"They're doing great!" he announced. "In fact, they'll be able to go home in a few hours. But they'll have to rest…..and that girl might need an ultrasound, to make sure that her kid is okay."

"So, they're alright?" The doctor nodded and Russel sighed in relief. "Good. Have you seen that black haired guy anywhere?" The doctor's smile faded a bit as he shook his head.

"Unfortunately, no." he answered, "But remember to talk to Dr. Hasselhoff in an hour or two." He reminded, and then walked off down the hall.

"Just when you need um…..they leave!" Russel mumbled as he stood up. And then he paused. "Wait a second, Hasselhoff? David Hasselhoff?"

Russel turned the knob to 2D and Noodle's room and silently entered. Noodle was lying on a bed, probably asleep. Her skin was paler then usual, and many wires were attached to her small body. She breathed calmly and softly, and occasionally would murmur something Russel couldn't understand, probably in Japanese. 2D was also sleeping on a bed a few feet away. A thick tan bandage wrapped around his waist, to prevent any more horrible bleeding from the stab. It really felt horrible for Russel to see his friends in this condition. He kneeled down beside Noodle's bed. Noodle opened one eye sleepily. Russel smiled slightly. Noodle smiled back tiredly.

"Hallo Russel-san." She whispered, and stiffened a yawn. Noodle began to sit up in her bed, but immediately regretted moving as a sharp pain filled the lower half of her body. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to ignore it. Russel placed a hand on her shoulder and carefully lowered her, so she was lying again. She thanked him silently and wrapped one arm over her stomach. Noodle could feel the baby's small amount of movement in her stomach and smiled as she relaxed a bit. "So when can we go home Russel-san?" she questioned, her arm still over her stomach.

"In a few hours, but you need an ultrasound done first. They need to make sure that the kid's alright."

Noodle shifted in discomfort. "I only wish the baby would stop moving so much."

Russel smiled and smoothed her hair. Noodle closed her eyes again and leaned farther back on the bed. The many pillows that propped her up were causing her back to hurt from stiffness. She carefully scooted down a little, so her head was now resting on the pillows instead. Finally, once she was comfortable again, she sighed deeply and opened her eyes to glance at 2D. He was still either asleep, or unconscious from the medication.

"Could you please check on 2D for me?" Noodle asked, and before Russel could even reply, she was fast asleep.

"Sure baby-girl." Russel whispered, he then kissed her on the head softly and stood up. As silently as he could, he walked over to the bed where 2D slept. "D?" he shook 2D's frail shoulder lightly. "Man, you awake?" 2D simply snorted in his deep sleep and turned over.

"Yeah, that's my dog. 'E does tricks. 'E cun walk tha high wire. G 'un Rex, show um. Maybe now I cun win tha 'oney smoked 'am." 2D mumbled, obviously caught up in a dream apparently about a trick doing dog….and winning a honey smoked ham? Russel laughed almost out loud, and then remembered that Noodle was sleeping a few feet away, so he quietly snickered under his breath. 2D bolted upright in his bed suddenly, causing Russ to jump. "Wha' 'appened!" 2D scanned the room, his breathing quick. Russel chuckled slightly.

"Man, we're in the hospital." He replied, still laughing. 2D's spiky blue hair was sticking out in all directions. He slowly calmed down and lied back onto the bed. He never thought his back could hurt so much. Noodle must've heard 2D, because she briskly sprang up out of her bed, and embraced him.

"Oh 2D-san! I was so worried!" she cried as she smothered the clueless zombie-like man in kisses, half of which he returned. "I…love….you!" Noodle said between kisses. She stopped after about two minutes and instead sat down beside him on the bed.

"Awwww luv, ya know I would've never left ya!" 2D laughed as Noodle buried her head in his chest and hugged him. He was sitting upright with his back propped up on three fluffy pillows. They stayed like that for a while. Noodle nuzzled close to him with her tearstained face against the side of 2D's neck, his hand moving slowly on her back as she sobbed a bit in joy.

"I love you so much." Noodle whimpered. 2D had heard her say those words to him quite often in the last few months and each time, they made him smile.

"I know." He whispered and continued to comfort her. "I'm here alright." Noodle nodded and sniffled a bit. She pulled away to wipe a tear that had fallen down her cheek, and then stared into 2D's onyx eyes once again. The silence of the room was broken by a squeaky door opening. 2D, Noodle, and Russel turned to see Murdoc standing in the doorway. His clothes tattered a bit and his right eye had a bit of a purple bruise rimmed around it. Noodle immediately rose from 2D's bed and ran to Murdoc. Murdoc was surprised by the fact that she didn't totally murder him from the way she blamed him earlier, but she hugged him.

"Murdoc-san! I am so sorry!" Noodle cried. Murdoc patted her on the back awkwardly.

"Uhhhh…."
"I-I realize that it wasn't your fault. You weren't the one who hurt 2D…..I am sorry for accusing you." Murdoc would have normally said some kind of barb, but instead decided to go along with her apology.

"I don't blame you. You weren't there, and didn't know," he smiled the best he could since all this niceness was kind of new to him. Noodle reached up and wiped off some of the dried blood on his face. Murdoc winced a bit in pain.

"What happened?" Noodle questioned in a concerned tone. Murdoc automatically changed the subject.

"How are ya feelin Dullard?" Murdoc asked. As if he really gave a flip! Anything to get them on another topic then his current condition.

"Fine." 2D replied quickly.

"How about you, lov?" he looked down at Noodle. She stared at him oddly for a while.

"Great." Noodle muttered taking a seat on her bed.

"Good." Murdoc sat down on one of the many chairs that were scattered around the tiny room. Noodle sighed quietly.

"When is that ultrasound going to be?" she questioned. Her boredom telling her that she might as well just ask.

"Oh yeah, I forgot all about that," Russel mumbled, scratching the back of his head. "Uhhhh…..they said in an hour or two. And that was a while ago….so I guess, whenever you're ready." Russel looked over at her. Noodle smiled and stood up.
"I guess, now." She kissed 2D. "You might want to rest 2D. It might be best if you do." 2D gazed up at her.

"I'm alright." He began stand up slowly.

"…..fine…." she sighed, then took his hand in hers and helped 2D up.

"Thanks luv." He smiled sweetly. Noodle faked a smile and led 2D to the door.

"You ready Russel-san?" Noodle questioned. Russel was seated on a chair, showing no signs of getting up any time soon. His eyes were shut, and he was most likely asleep. "Uhhhh……Russ?" Noodle walked over to him. Russel opened his eyes quickly.

"Huh!" He snapped awake. Noodle smiled slightly.

"You just rest here. I can see that you are tired." Noodle turned and returned back to standing next to 2D. 2D kissed her lightly on the cheek and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Lus' go" he opened the door and they stepped out. In the hallway, 2D looked around confusedly. "Uhhhh…..which doctor do we see? And which way do we go?" 2D asked and faced Noodle. Noodle frowned a bit.

"I have no clue…" she turned and opened the door to her room again. Russel was fast asleep again, and Murdoc was caught up in a magazine. He looked up at her. "Murdoc, do you have any idea where we're supposed to go?" Murdoc shook his head and returned to reading the magazine. Noodle looked back at 2D with a 'what do we do now?' type stare. He shrugged his thin shoulder and mouthed 'I 'ave no clue.'

"Go to the front desk and ask." Murdoc mumbled, still looking down at the magazine.

"Which way's that?" 2D questioned. Murdoc sighed.

"I don' know Dullard!" He shouted. Noodle glared at him.

"You could be less of a jerk you know." She muttered. Murdoc looked up at her, then back at the magazine.

"You're so lucky I feel sorry for you right now…." He scoffed. The corner of Noodle's eye twitched in irritation.

"And what do you suppose you COULD do if you tried?" She snapped. Murdoc's thoughts were of what harm he could bring to the small pregnant nineteen year old girl standing before him. Both of them knew that Murdoc could easily hurt, let alone KILL a person if he wanted to, and they both realized that Noodle's martial arts skills had gotten a bit rusty in the last two years or so. Murdoc gritted his yellow teeth in frustration. The one thing he HATED was when people questioned him.

"Jus' go." He sighed. Noodle grabbed 2D's hand tightly.

"Luv you're 'urtin my ha-" Noodle pulled him behind her as she exited the room angrily. 2D, not having much of a choice, followed her quickly and without a word. They soon found a doctor standing beside a drink machine and Noodle stopped walking.

"Excuse me; do you know where I could get an ultrasound done?" Noodle questioned. This would normally be quite an odd question, but you could clearly tell Noodle was pregnant by now. Her stomach was swollen to be almost double her normal size and you could tell she was in a bit of pain by her constant uncomfortable movements or she'd close her eyes suddenly then open them after a second or two. The doctor smiled kindly.

"I'm Dr. Hasselhoff. I'm in charge of the machine," he stuck out his right hand and Noodle shook it. 2D stared at the man confusedly.

"Hasselhoff? David Hasselhoff? Aren't you supposed ta be an actor?" 2D questioned. The doctor's smile faded a bit.

"Times have changed my friend. Times have changed." He mumbled and seemed to trail off a bit in thought. 2D stared awkwardly at him for a while…..

"…..okay….."

"erm…….well, how does the ultrasound work?" Noodle asked, breaking the very awkward silence. The doctor smiled again.

"Well it's really simple. Follow me." He said, stepping off into another room. Noodle followed the doctor and 2D followed her silently. When they entered the room, the doctor was holding a clipboard in his left hand, with the other, he pointed to a bed. "Just take your seat over there." He said kindly. Noodle sat down on the bed as ordered. 2D took a seat on one of the nearby chairs. Dr. Hasselhoff (heehee) walked up beside Noodle.

"Now, this may seem odd, but I have to smear some of this-" he held up a container "on your stomach. So, would you please lift up your shirt a bit?" He scribbled something onto the clipboard.

"Okay." Noodle lifted her shirt up the necessary length.

"Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Go ahead."

The doctor read off the clipboard, then looked up from behind his glasses.

"Okay, what would be your first and last name?" He questioned.

"My name is Noodle, and…well….my second name is……Tusspot," Noodle smiled at 2D, he smiled back. Dr. Hasselhoff wrote her name on a dotted line on the paper.

"And is it known who the father of the child is?"

"2D Tusspot," Noodle pointed at 2D who was sitting nearby, "Him basically." The doctor raised a thick eyebrow questioningly.

"2-"

"My real name's Stuart. Stuart Tusspot."

Dr. Hasselhoff nodded conformingly and wrote down 2D's name.

"And, you two are married, correct?" the doctor looked over at Noodle, then at 2D.

"soon…." Noodle muttered, admiring the diamond ring that shone beautifully.

"Are you engaged?" he asked.

"Yep," Noodle answer, giving 2D a quick smile.

"Well congratulations," the doctor looked over at 2D. "Mr. Tusspot, you are a very lucky man. Noodle is very polite."
"I know." 2D replied. Noodle blushed like mad.

"Well," the doctor pulled on a rubber glove, "Let's see how that baby is doing," he picked a small clean rag. "It may be a little cold at first." He then dabbed some clear gel onto the rag, and then dabbed the rag on Noodle's stomach. She giggled slightly.

"Sorry……it's a bit cold, and is tickling me…" she said, and blushed again. Dr. Hasselhoff smiled, and then picked up a small microphone-looking thing. He placed it on Noodle's stomach after pressing a few buttons on a nearby machine.

"And how many months ago did you find out?" he asked.

"Ummm…..about four," Noodle answered after a while of thought. "But I am in the….fifth month already." The doctor nodded and moved the microphone like object around on Noodle's stomach and pressed a few buttons.

"Well, if you look up there, you can see your child," he finally announced as he pointed up at a screen. Noodle looked up and immediately beamed happily.

"Look 2D, it's our baby," Noodle said, pointing amazedly at the small television sized screen. 2D had never seen her so happy. Seeing her so cheerful made him grin also.

"Well, that's your child. And, by the looks of it, I'd say it's a boy." The doctor informed them. Tears of joy fell from Noodle's eyes. 2D stood up and sat beside her. The two were so relieved to see that after all this, the kid was okay. The doctor once again wrote on the clipboard.

"Could I get your signatures here?" he held it out to Noodle. Noodle blinked back her joyful tears and took the clipboard. She signed her name, and handed it to 2D. He signed his name also and gave it to the doctor.

"Well, let me see how your child is growing so far, and then you two can leave."

"Okay." Noodle whispered. The doctor walked over to a desk and picked up a tape measurer. He stood in front of the screen and measured a few things, such as the baby's arms and legs. Then, after a while, he went over to the computer and typed on the keyboard. Noodle stared at the ultrasound screen in a loving way. She placed a finger carefully on the screen as if the baby was there and she never wanted to let him leave her. But, at last, the time came, and the screen went black as the doctor turned the machine off and removed the microphone-like thing from Noodle's stomach. Noodle hugged 2D tightly. He smiled down at her and stroked her hair. The only noise in the room was the hum of the printer as it printed up the baby's condition.

"I'm so 'appy. I get ta be a daddy." 2D whispered.

"I know….and you'll be the perfect dad."
