(12:30 AM, Brittany's POV)
I couldn't get comfortable tonight at all! I mean between the ache I had in my lower back and the constant movements of my pups within me, I was hardly even able to doze off, "Come on kids, let your mother slee-" at that point I sort of felt a pop, followed by a warm, wet sensation between my legs... OH FUCK! "Alvin! Wake up!" I screamed, Alvin shooting awake and immediately feeling the wetness around my pelvis, causing him to jump up and rush out of the room without a single word. God bless his fatherly instincts, he may still be immature sometimes and even downright cynical at times, but he was a father and that was coming first... and then after that came my contractions! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! It feels like my insides are wanting to become my outsides! "ALVINNNN! HELP MEEEEEE!" I scream, no sooner seeing Dave near the door, Alvin on his shoulder, "Hurry up Dad! She's going into labor!" I heard Alvin shout, even as Dave gently lifted me up and rushed out to his car, driving us out to the vet's office.
"Britt, just breathe, here hold my hand." Alvin offered, immediately taking his hand and squeezing on it with the force of a vice, in turn feeling some comfort in the fact that I was making my husband suffer just as much as I was, "YOU FUCKING MORON! DO THIS TO ME AGAIN AND I'M RIPPING IT OFF!" I shouted, all while Alvin tried to keep a straight face through the pain I must have been causing him. After a few minutes, Dave stopped the car and took me and Alvin into the office, the doctor there taking me and Alvin out back to go through this whole procedure, "Alright Brittany, I need your cooperation, I see one crowing so when I say "push" give me a big push... now!" I heard the doctor saying, bearing down and straining with all my might, still crushing Alvin's hand in my own and cursing him in every language I knew.
"Okay, there it is... it's a girl!" the doctor said, handing the little bundle to his assistant to clean her up, even while I felt another contraction, pushing again and this time hearing a shrill cry sounding out, this briefly making me concerned with my first born pup and not hearing anything from her, only for the doctor to resume his job, "It's a boy!" he said, passing the screaming bundle to the assistant. After a few short minutes, that felt to me like hours, I finally birthed all six of mine and Alvin's pups, the next two being girls, another boy and then the final girl, and after they were cleaned up and passed to both me and Alvin to hold, I just melted at what I saw... they were ADORABLE! The first born concerned me though, she was healthy and all but I hadn't heard her cry at all, but I decided to name my kids before asking any questions, deciding on Sandra for the silent girl, she had every physical feature of mine, but outside of that she looked exactly like her father, dark brown fur with those hazel eyes, the next, the first boy out of me, had the exact opposite of his sister, he was blue eyed, and auburn furred, his name was Kevin. The next two girls were nearly twins, they had a near perfect mix of fur colors of mine and Alvin's, only one had blue eyes, and the other had violet eyes like my sister... must be a generation skip, they were named Kendra and Jade, and next boy had my fur, dark stripes on his back, and mixed eyes, his right being blue like my own, while his left was hazel to match Alvin's, he was named Michael. And the last girl was a perfect blend, her fur being like mine, albeit much darker in color tone, and her eyes were hazel, her name was Amy. After naming the pups and having their birth certificates signed, I finally had to ask this burning question, "Doctor, why didn't Sandra cry when she was born?" I asked, Alvin giving Sandra a concerned glance, even as all of our pups stared up at us.
(regular POV)
"I hate to say this, but Sandra had a defect while developing that never allowed her to gain a complete set of vocal cords... I'm afraid she's a mute," the doctor replied, Alvin and Brittany wearing slightly saddened expressions before Alvin smiled and gently lifted Sandra up and rubbed his nose against hers, "You may have no voice, but at least you're healthy... and I promise to love you just as much as if you had a voice of your own." Alvin said, Brittany smiling as she snuggled the other five pups. A little later, a knock came to the door, Alvin and Brittany looking up and gasping at the sight of James Suggs in the doorway, the red clad chipmunk immediately scowling and extending his claws, "Okay Suggs, you got ten seconds to-"
"Relax Alvin, I come in peace," James said, Alvin dropping his scowl in favor of a confused stare, "What?" he asked, James chuckling and stepping into the room slowly, taking a seat next to the bed, Brittany holding her and Alvin's six bundles against her body in a protective manner, James chuckling again and offering a reassuring smile, "I'm serious, I had some time to think and I realized that my grudge against you and your brothers isn't worth it... I actually just had a day off, and sat in my apartment listening to your first album." James explained, Alvin raising an eyebrow and then rolling his eyes, "Yeah, you got over it... says the man who tracked me and my brothers from Texas to Miami!" Alvin shouted, James backing up in his chair a bit before sighing, "Look, I won't lie, I'm still a bit mad at you guys... but at the same time I realize it wasn't really your fault, so to make up for all the trouble I caused, I bought you guys a gift," James explained, pulling up a shopping bag with six barbie doll high chairs in it, Alvin and Brittany struck dumb by this simple gesture.
"I-I don't know what to say..." Brittany said before Alvin chuckled and smiled toward the Air Marshal, "I think it's a bit much on the pink... but the color doesn't really matter... what matters is that you cared about us enough to do this, we'd actually forgotten to get them ourselves." Alvin said, James smiling as he looked to the six fluffy bundles in Brittany's arms, the pink clad chipette smiling before gesturing for James to reach over to her, "You can pet them if you want, they like that a lot," Brittany said, the human hesitating a bit before gently reaching over and patting Kevin's head with a single fingertip, a soft babyish yawn sounding from him before he started to nuzzle against James's finger. "You know, anytime you guys are on a flight, I'll be willing to be the body guard for the entire flight... besides I kinda miss Nathan, since he quit, my job's been boring." James said, Alvin chuckling before he heard footsteps approaching, "Well, you may just get to see him and everyone else, because they're coming into the room right about... now," Alvin said, no sooner hearing Nathan and his own family's wings flapping, the four bats landing on the bed and smiling at Brittany's pups, Nathan glancing over and gasping at the sight of his old partner, "James? What are you doing here?" Nathan asked, James laughing lightly and explaining himself, even as the rest of the extended family piled into the room.
"Get out of my way!" Kris shouted, nearly dive bombing onto the bed Brittany and Alvin were in before for spread out her wings to make a gentle landing, gazing at the six fluffy bundles laying between her chipmunk sister and Alvin with wide eyes, a shocked expression on her face before the bat made her way up towards them. "M-May I hold one of them?" Kris asked, Brittany nodding and gently lifting Kendra up for her bat sister to cradle in her arms, the chipmunk pup gazing up at this new face and then making a happy baby sound while stretching her arms up towards her aunt's face, this causing Kris to smile and gently hug the newborn against her, "Hello there, I'm your aunt Kris," Kris said, Kendra letting out a babyish giggle and grabbing at her aunt's cheeks. Eventually the entire litter was formerly introduced and admired by the whole family, when they heard a light tapping on the bed table, Silas having appeared from nowhere with a smile on his grey furred face, "Silas? What are you doing here? Not that you aren't welcome or anything... it's just-"
"No worries Alvin, I'm here to introduce myself to your beautiful litter of pups," Silas explained, hopping over to the bed and gently approaching the six bundles, kneeling down and smiling to them... only for all of them to shiver and start whimpering a bit, Brittany giving the rat an apologetic smile, "I guess my fear of rats sort of got passed to my pups... sorry Silas," Brittany said, Silas chuckling before gently reaching out and twirling a single extended finger around, a trail of glowing dust following as if he were writing in the air, this sight making all six pups stare in curious amazement, "Hello there little ones, I'm your great grandpa, Silas," the rat explained, Dave making a confused face before Silas chuckled, "I'm much older than the average rat David, being imbued with the power of voodoo does that from time to time," Silas explained, before turning to Sandra with a sad smile, "Poor child, no voice of your own to speak with... unless your parents want-"
"No Silas, as much as I'd love to hear six voices calling me "Daddy", I don't want anything changed with your magic... nothing personal," Alvin said, Silas chuckling and nodding, "I understand, just an offer. Now if you excuse me I must be off, my parlour is not meant to be left unattended for too long." and with that, Silas vanished into a cloud of smoke, leaving a bunch of confused chipmunks, bats and humans in the room. "Good news, Alvin and Brittany you can take your children home tonight, just be sure to get some rest Mrs. Seville, your body may not have recovered completely yet and-" the doctor went silent as Brittany hopped up and stretched, numerous pops being heard as her spine readjusted to the original position before having ever bared any children at all, "No worries Doctor, I'll get some rest, and Alvin I'm so sorry for nearly breaking your paw." Brittany said, as she gathered up Kendra, Amy and Michael, and Alvin gathered up the other three pups, Sandra, Kevin and Jade, "No worries babe, it's not your fault... if anything I deserved it for making you go through that kind of pain." Alvin replied, before Dave gently lifted the two chipmunk parents up and carried them to the car.
(home, several hours later, 9:00 AM)
Alvin and Brittany were soon laying in their bed, the six new lives born of their creation laying between them, going in order of oldest to youngest, Sandra next to Alvin, then Kevin, followed by Kendra and Jade, Michael and finally Amy next to her mother, currently snuggling into Brittany now flat tummy. "I'm proud of us, you know that Britt?" Alvin asked, Brittany looking up to her husband and smiling warmly, "I know how you feel, to think we brought six new lives into the world all by ourselves... kinda blows my mind to see them all now," Brittany replied, reaching down and petting Amy's head, a soft babyish moan being heard in response to this touch, Alvin doing the same for Sandra and sighing sadly, knowing that even if she tried to make a vocal sound that she'd never be able to actually do it, Brittany noticing this and placing her hand on her husband's shoulder, "I know you're sad that Sandra may never talk, I'm sad too but... she's healthy and obviously loves you. Sooner or later, she'll find her own way to speak with us..." Brittany explained, as Simon slowly entered the room and cleared his throat, "Sorry to intrude, but I couldn't help overhearing your dilemma regarding Sandra and I might be able to help out... if I may see Sandra for a moment," Simon explained, hopping onto the bed and approaching his eldest niece, Sandra turning and smiling toward her blue clad uncle, before Simon knelt down and started gesturing with his right hand, Brittany recognizing the movements as sign language, "Hello there, I'm your Uncle Simon, what is your name?" Simon asked, all the while signing his words with his hand as if to teach Sandra what his hand gestures were meant to say. Shockingly, Sandra reached out her right paw and, though a bit sloppy at it, signed out the name "Sandra" in response, Brittany smiling widely at this event, "It'll take a lot of time before Sandra will know the full alphabet in sign language, but I assure you both that I'll try my best to give your voiceless daughter a way to speak for herself." Simon explained, Alvin then jumping up and pulling his brother into a warm hug, Simon going stiff for a moment before he returned the gesture.
After that wonderful moment, Simon left the room and allowed Alvin and Brittany to catch a bit of rest, Brittany drifting into a peaceful sleep while Alvin just laid there and admired his beautiful wife, his six pups, and smiled wider at the feeling of pride growing within him.
(three days later)
Three days had passed since Alvin and Brittany's pups were born, and already they were demanding solid food. Only five would scream for what they wanted, Sandra however apparently making up for her lack of a voice with a quickly developing mind, already asking through sign language simple requests, though they being still relatively young they couldn't handle the additives in human foods, so for now Brittany was feeding them a mixture of mashed apples and her own breast milk, preferring to pump it out of herself then to deal with four angry and hungry children demanding her attention, "Okay Kendra, open wide!" Brittany said, slowly moving the spoon in her hand forward and slipping it into her daughter's mouth, a happy purr being heard as the food was accepted. Sandra, however, was being fed by Alvin, the same mixture as the rest but Sandra not accepting it, "Come on Sandra, you gotta eat," Alvin said, Sandra shaking her head and signing her response, "I don't want it," Sandra signed, Alvin grumbling to himself before he took a spoonful and ate it himself, "Look, if daddy can eat it, so can you," Alvin said, Sandra shaking her head again and signing once more, "No, I want grape, not apple." Sandra signed, Alvin having taken a crash course in how to read the hand gestures and rolling his eyes, "Sandra, I'll make you a deal, eat even one spoonful of this, and I'll give you a whole grape for yourself," Alvin said, Brittany giggling as she got closer, "Really Alvie, bribing our children?" Brittany asked, as Alvin absently moved the spoon toward his own mouth again, "And that's for the pups, not for my husband," Brittany said, not even looking away from Jade as she fed her a spoonful of the apple sauce, Alvin rolling his eyes and letting Sandra eat it.
After breakfast was a big day for their kids, Alvin and Brittany were taking their pups outside for the first time since they were born, and once in the yard they were in awe of all the colors and smells that greeted them, before they all dashed away, except for Sandra, she was very much a daddy's girl and was difficult at best to split from her father's side, the hazel eyed chipette looking up to her father and signing to him, "Is it okay to play?" she asked, Alvin nodding and patting his daughter's head, "Sure is Sandy, go on and play," Alvin said, Sandra smiling and dashing off, joining her brothers and sisters in the yard and tumbling through the grass. "Hon, I love you," Brittany said, placing a kiss to Alvin's cheek and gaining a smile from him, "I love you too, and I love our pups... let's go join them okay?" Alvin asked, Brittany smiling but shaking her head, "You go ahead, I just want to watch," Brittany said, Alvin nodding and joining his kids in the yard.
Brittany then felt a presence next to her, glancing over and seeing Amy staring up at her, "Hi there, you want to sit with mommy?" Brittany asked, Amy making some babyish sounds before she moved her lips a bit, "Mm-m-mo-ommy," Amy softly said, Brittany's eyes widening before she smiled, "What was that Amy?" Brittany asked, a sweet smile spreading on her daughter's face before she made more noises, "Mo-ommy... mommy." Amy said, finding amusement in her mother's reaction to her voice, which was to jump up and squeal with joy, "ALVIN! AMY JUST CALLED ME "MOMMY"!" Brittany shouted, Alvin's head poking out from the grass as he rushed back over to his wife, "What? She spoke this soon?" Alvin asked, as Brittany turned and smiled to her youngest daughter, "Come on, say "mommy"," Brittany cooed, Amy giggling and obliging her mother without really understanding why her parents were acting so silly, "Mommy... mommy, mommy, mommy!" Amy said, Alvin's eyes going wide with pride and amazement, "Your first word... come on, say "Daddy" next," Alvin said, Brittany rolling her eyes even as Amy repeated her first word to her father, "Alvie, she's only a few days old, give her time and she'll call for you... besides I think Sandra is getting jealous," Brittany explained, Alvin glancing over and watching as Sandra approached, looking to her sister and then to her mother, gesturing in her only way of speech, and what she said nearly broke both of her parents hearts.
"Why can Amy do that?" Sandra asked, Alvin and Brittany sharing a sad glance before Alvin knelt down to be eye level with his eldest daughter, "Sandra, I can't really explain it to very well... I wish I could but I'm not the one to ask," Alvin replied, Sandra tilting her head and gesturing again, though never having actually spoke a word, she was very talkative with her hands, sometimes gesturing too quickly to be read properly, "Is it because I'm a mute?" Sandra asked, Alvin's eyes widening at this, "You know about your condition? Dang you're smart," Alvin said, Sandra giggling silently before gesturing some more, "I'm older than the others, I'm smart Daddy," Sandra said, and it was true, while she physically developed at the same rate as her siblings, Sandra's mind was growing well beyond the normal rate, already she was reading and even writing, though other than that she was still very much a child.
After a couple hours, Alvin and Brittany took their kids inside and washed them up, Alvin using a cloth but Brittany preferring the old fashioned method of using her tongue, currently licking at Kevin's fur and gaining tiny giggles from her son, Alvin washing Amy with a cloth, the whole time Amy complaining with her only known word so far, "MOOOMMY! MOMMY!" Amy said, her tone not in distress but rather in annoyance at having to deal with a cloth instead of a warm tongue like she usually got. Kris flew in at that point after hearing Amy's voice, looking around at the six pups and sighing, "Which one spoke first?" Kris asked, Sandra raising her paw and gesturing her response, "ME! It's me Aunty Kris!" Sandra said proudly, Kris giving the eldest pup a confused glance, "Say what?" Kris asked, Alvin chuckling before he responded to his sister, "Sandra was saying she was technically the first one to speak, though if you're wondering who just said "mommy", it's Amy here," Alvin replied, Kris smiling before she placed a gentle kiss to Sandra's forehead, "Sorry Sandy, Aunt Kris still isn't that great at reading the signs of your fingers," Kris explained, Sandra looking around and grabbing a small scrap of paper and a broken pencil lead, using it to scrawl something on the paper before handing it to Kris, the long eared bat looking at it and gasping, "'I know Aunty Kris, if you like I can do this when speaking to you,'" Kris read, looking into Sandra's hazel eyes, the pup's face drawn up into a smile, "Thank you Sandra, this will be easier to understand," Kris said, Sandra giggling silently before it was her turn to be cleaned up.
(late at night)
Everyone in the house was asleep at this point, though Sandra wasn't really that quick to drop off into slumber as her siblings were, so when she heard the click of the door opening, Sandra shot up and looked around, shivering in fear at whatever may be coming. Then she heard the growl, one she dreaded ever since she was born a few days prior, "Mommy! There's a monster in the room!" Sandra said, realizing quickly afterwards that she was dreaming due to hearing her own voice, even as the monster got closer, its fangs glowing a hellish red while its claws dragged the floor, black fur completely covering the creature entirely. Sandra then looked to her right and saw her father was gone, then to her left and saw the rest of her family was missing too, beginning to tremble in fear as this horror reached a set of red glowing claws towards her, tears of terror streaming down her face. "MOMMY! DADDY! PLEASE HELP ME!" Sandra screamed, before the creature lunged for her, at which point Sandra jolted out of her nightmare and burst into silent tears, Alvin having been startled awake by Sandra's sudden movements, and knowing what had happened he pulled his daughter into his arms, "Shhh, calm down Sandra, Daddy's here... the monster isn't there anymore," Alvin said, rubbing his daughter's back as she silently cried into his chest, then stared up into her father's eyes and started gesturing, "I was alone... you, Mommy, my brothers and sisters... you were all gone, and that monster showed up again... like he always does." Sandra explained, Alvin holding Sandra close and rocking her gently, not noticing as his wife woke up and simply watched this scene unfold, sure their eldest daughter was advanced in so many ways, but she suffered horrible nightmares on a near nightly basis. Brittany remained quiet when she heard Alvin start to sing to his daughter, a song not normally used as a lullaby, but apparently pretty effective on Sandra.
"Don't give up,
It's just the weight of the world.
When your heart's heavy,
I, I will lift it for you.
Don't give up,
Because you want to be heard.
Though silence keeps you,
I, I will break it for you." Alvin softly sang, Sandra's body shuddering as she slowly stopped crying, even as Alvin continued to rock her gently in his arms.
"Everybody wants, to be understood,
Well I can hear you.
Everybody wants, to be loved,
Don't give up,
Because you are loved." Alvin sang, Sandra relaxing a bit as she sniffed a bit, her father still rubbing her back as she snuggled into Alvin's arms.
"Don't give up,
It's just the hurt, that you hide,
When you're lost inside,
I, I'll be there to find you.
Don't give up,
Because you want to burn bright,
If darkness blinds you,
I, I will shine to guide you!
Everybody wants, to be understood,
Well I can hear you.
Everybody wants, to be loved,
Don't give up,
Because you are loved!" Alvin sang, glancing down and finding Sandra fast asleep, nuzzled into his chest with a smile on her face, Alvin smiling and about to lay down, when he heard a soft whimper next to him, glancing over and finding Brittany awake and smiling to him, "Britt? How long have you been awake?" Alvin asked, laying down and holding his daughter close, Brittany wiping a single happy tear from her eye, "Oh, just long enough to hear you singing our daughter asleep... and wondering why you were so concerned with the idea of being a good father." Brittany replied, Alvin stroking Sandra's hair and smiling at his child, along with the other five pups laid between him and Brittany, "I know, I guess parenthood brings out the best in people... even if you're the fun one of a group of singing chipmunks." Alvin replied, gaining a soft laugh from his wife before they doth laid down to go back to sleep.
(the next morning)
Alvin woke up to find himself blinded and his face warm, reaching to it and feeling a different bit of fur, chuckling to himself before gently lifting the still sleeping form of Sandra off of his face, this reminding him of how Theodore had slept on Dave's face when they first entered his home. Slowly, Sandra's eyes fluttered open and she smiled at the sight of her father, Alvin laying Sandra on his chest and petting her head gently, "Good morning, I trust there were no more nightmares," Alvin cooed, Sandra silently giggling and signing away, "No, I had a nice dream... there was a huge cake and it was all for me!" Sandra replied, Alvin placing a kiss to his eldest daughter's forehead before he turned and noticed the others were gone, "Hmm... must already be at the table, let's go find them," Alvin said, lifting Sandra up and leaping off the bed, once on the floor letting his daughter go and walk on her own.
What greeted Alvin was the smell of his wife's cooking, over the past few days alone it having improved considerably, "Morning Britt, why didn't you wake me?" Alvin asked, Brittany currently flipping a pancake over and then giggling a bit, "I didn't want to wake Sandra, she did have a rude awakening last night, I figured I'd let you both sleep in and get breakfast started," Brittany replied, dishing up her pancakes and then having Dave carry them over to the table, "Hey there Sandra, how's my oldest grand daughter today?" Dave asked, Sandra smiling warmly and signing to Dave, "I'm fine, I had a scary dream last night but Daddy made me feel better," Sandra replied, even as Amy in her chair kept repeating her first word, "Really now? Well I'm glad your daddy was able to make you feel safe." Dave said, before Sandra was lifted up and placed into her high chair, her eyes going wide at the sight of a big green grape, grabbing it and nibbling into the small fruit.
And there's chapter 5, I know an odd place to end a chapter, but I want to get to another bit of work. Keep an eye out for the next set of rules, I know I mentioned them before, but I'm serious this time, I nearly have them done. So how was this chapter? Tell me in the box below which of Alvin and Brittany's six pups you like the most, their names are (in order of who was born first) Sandra, Kevin, Kendra, Jade, Michael and Amy. Anyway, hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you in the next update, PEACE!
And now, a random moment in the Seville home:
*Alvin reading a book when Kris flies into the room*
Kris: QUICK! DON'T THINK ABOUT PINEAPPLES!
*Alvin gives her a confused look, before Silas appears and snaps his fingers, pineapples randomly appearing out of thin air*
Silas: SUDDENLY, PINEAPPLES!
Alvin: Okay Silas, you need something new.
*Silas narrows his eyes and then snaps his fingers again, a coconut appearing above Alvin's head before dropping and hitting Alvin*
Alvin: OUCH! SILAS!
Silas: SUDDENLY, COCONUTS!
*Somewhere in the distance, a duck is heard*
Duck: *distantly* QUACK!
