Ch.6 Sickness among us

"Augh…." Chiro moaned, lifting Nova from the crib. Nova kept crying, even after Chiro cleaned her up, changed her, snuggled her for awhile, and then fed her. When Chiro had tried to feed her she pushed the bottle away and cried even louder. "Gibson!" Chiro cried. "Nova won't shut up! I've done everything! Come help!" Chiro waited a minute and soon Gibson was down with him.

"Did you try feedi" Gibson started.

"Yes. I've fed her, I've changed her, I've snuggled her…I've done everything!" Chiro screamed. Then he thought a moment. "Wait!" He exclaimed. "Let's use that machine you and Otto invented!"

"Fine, but Let me." Gibson took the screaming Nova from Chiro's hands and took her to his lab. He soon returned, cuddling Nova and trying to soothe her crying by rubbing her teeny head.

"Chiro…" He said. "This young one is sick. She is feeling ill and she is running a high fever. Since she has an illness, she has probably had it for a few days, than the others should be catching it soon."

"On no…." Chiro said. "What if all four of them have it…..And Bunjy's probably caught it. That's probably why she's gotten sick, not from watching Otto spin in circles"

"Right now we must figure out what it is that she has caught. You keep an eye on the others and I will give Nova a check-up." Gibson took Nova back to his lab to see what she had. "She has nothing more than a mere case of strep-throat. And a slight bit of a stomach virus that should only last for a few hours. If the others catch it than it should not be much trouble at all." Chiro looked up from the infants that he was playing with.

"Well…..is it a good thing or a bad thing?" He asked.

"Neither. It's not good, but it's not bad either. All we must do is find a medicine and keep her in quarantine from the others. You take her somewhere else while I try to find an antidote so we won't have any baby monkeys everywhere." Gibson handed Chiro Nova and went to his lab.

….ten minutes later….

Bang. Crash. Boom. WAAAH!

Chiro rushed into the lab still carrying Nova. Having heard crying, he needed to see what had happened.

"Holy Shuggazoom! What happened….Oh no….." Chiro glanced in the lab to see a little baby Gibson standing in the middle of the room with a broken beaker at his feet, crying. "No, no no!" Chiro screamed, causing Nova to whimper and Gibson to scream louder. "This is not good." Chiro sighed and picked baby Gibson up and carried him and Nova into the other room. He sat Gibson on the floor and still carried Nova her being sick an all, over to the phone where he called Jinmay.

…..Magical time skip!...

"Hi, Chiro!" Jinmay called to Chiro as he opened the door to her. "You said you need help?"

"Yeah….Chiro glanced at Gibson on the floor. "You take care of Nova, she is sick; I need to gather the others. Including Gibson, he turned himself into a baby looking for the antidote." Jinmay took little Nova when Chiro handed her to her and stood taking in what he had said.

"Ok….So we have 5 babies now, and one is sick?" Jinmay finally called to Chiro.

"Nope…..two are sick….Gibson has it too."
