Casper woke Stretch up for breakfast. Pancakes were being served. Stretch could smell it. He was hungry. He went down. His bros didn't wake him because they knew that he hated being woken when he was tired.

Everyone was down in the kitchen this morning. It was another year of Dr. Harvey's birthday. He was now 41. Usually the doc wasn't a morning person, but he was up early on his birthday always.

Stretch had quite the appetite this morning. He ate almost everything in sight. What had come over him? Everyone wondered. He was starting to eat bigger portions because now, he was eating for more than himself.

The next week, when he was just watching more TV with Stinkie and Fatso, he suddenly felt some strange stirrings from within his tummy. He thought it almost had something to do with the food he had eaten earlier.

He was now also secretly taking prenatal vitamins. He was doing what the doc had said to do.

The stirrings continued throughout the day. Stretch now knew it had to be the baby moving. Feeling it for the first time was another way for him to fall even deeper in love with it. He was definitely going to keep it. He wanted to have a little baby around the house.

The biggest thing was, was it a boy or a girl? What was he going to name it? He would also need things for the baby before it was born, like say a nursery. Toys, food, books to read to it, diapers, and so on.

There was also the dilemma of Chaos. Would she be moving in with them to be the baby's mother, or would she and him be sharing the baby between houses? Or would she be marrying him to be the baby's mother? She already was the biological mother and he was the father. How was this going to be settled? It would be in due time he realized.

Stretch came back in a month for a checkup. Everything was fine. Chaos was glad to see him. She felt his stomach to see if she could feel the babies moving. Indeed she could. They were very active at night. Which did prevent Stretch from getting good sleep sometimes. He never thought that one baby could move so much and cause a disturbance.

Feeling her sons, daughters, or son and daughter move made even Chaos fall in love with them. She already knew there were twins instead of one.

Stretch was seven months along when Doc Harvey's mom came to visit the house. His stomach had grown out somewhat by then. He had been worried if anyone would notice and no one did so far.

Stretch still did go scaring with his bros and he did morph, but he was still aware of the baby inside him.

Of course, Harvey's mom wanted to have someone to baby. That gave Stretch a strong sense of mind. He did need someone to help care for him since he was pregnant. It all started out well, but soon, it would seem that this had been a mistake.

Almost in the end, when she had them all dressed up like babies and sitting in high chairs, she said she was going to run their tummies. Of course she meant that she was going to rub them.

That alarmed Stretch. His babies were also active after he ate and when he ate aside from when he was in bed. He had just finished eating and if she rubbed his tummy, she was sure to feel the baby's movements!

They sure were active right now. Luckily Dr. Harvey had stepped in and seen the whole thing. "You got to help us Doc. Get her out of here!"

James took her aside and told her that she couldn't be doing the things she was doing to the trio and that she had to leave. She didn't want to make anyone miserable, but she had managed to do that. At least Stretch's baby secret was still safe.

Now since Stretch wasn't seeing much of Chaos anymore, he, along with his bros, started going more after their old crush Ms. Banshee again. Stretch still had feelings for her too. He didn't want Chaos to know, but he wasn't married and they weren't dating, so he assumed it was okay to date other women.

Though Banshee clearly hated Casper's uncles. She already had many crushes of her own and they weren't among them. The only thing Banshee could stand about Stretch was his nose.

Stretch had gone out during the last month, the 8th month and got some things that babies needed. They were all hidden in a private place in the house. Stretch knew how to be sneaky.

Now that the babies were almost completing their growth inside of him, Stretch could feel them more easily now than ever. Sometimes they could be trying to play or fighting. That part Stretch could REALLY feel. It was painful for him, but he never told anyone.

That month, October, the day that Stretch was supposed to go for his appointment with the doctor for a checkup, he was out scaring with his brothers instead. He had totally forgotten. He had such a good time. His pregnancy sure didn't weaken him from doing that.

Chaos was disappointed that he didn't show up. She wanted to see her babies again. She sent some cops after him.

The Ghostly Trio were home by now. It was now the next day. Chaos made them believe her that Stretch needed to come to the hospital.

The cops came.

It was lunch time at Whipstaff. Casper had just finished cooking lunch and his uncles were chowing down. They had heard mild sirens outside and got closer. It sounded like they were after someone. Probably a ghost since it was flying.

The trio still did remember a chance encounter with the ghost cops. It was only because they hadn't had scream cards. They still had them. Why would they be coming for them now?

Stretch had a nervous feeling. He stopped eating. One of the babies kicked out and nailed him right in the stomach. He grunted slightly and winced. When he got nervous, his babies sensed it too.

The siren stopped right outside Whipstaff. A cop got out and rang the doorbell.

Dr. Harvey answered the door. "Yes. What can I do for you- uh Officer?"

"Does a Stretch McFadden live here?" The cop asked.

"Yes. What's he done?"

"We have a warrant for his arrest."

"What's he done?"

"A lady said that he had hurt her and he needs to come with us."

"Stretch scares, but he wouldn't really hurt anyone."

"That is for me to decide. Is he here?"

"Yes. Give me a minute. I'll get him." Harvey went to the kitchen to get him. He didn't want problems. He did as he was told. The cop waited impatiently.

The ghosts saw Dr. Harvey enter the kitchen. "So what's going on, Dr. Harvey?" Casper asked.

"Well, I have an officer waiting up front wanting to talk to Stretch."

He was getting ready to stuff a turkey leg in his mouth when he heard that. They all looked over at him. He gulped. He didn't like police. "What does he want to see me for? I haven't done anything."

"He says that you hurt a girl."

"I never did any such thing."

"Well, he says you did. He needs to see you now."

Stretch didn't want to move. He stayed put. "Stretch." Harvey said. "Now."

Casper noticed the scared look on his uncle's face. He never was scared. Now there was something wrong.

Stretch finally got up and floated over to the doc and he followed the ghost to the big dancing room where the cop was waiting.

"Are you Stretch?" The cop asked.

"This is him."

"I need to hear it from him Fleshie! Are you Stretch?"

"Yes. I am. What do you want?"

"A girl says that you have hurt her and I have a warrant for your arrest."

That scared the pregnant ghost. "I never hurt any girl! It's a lie!"

"Either way, you are going into custody." The cop took out some handcuffs. He was in no condition to be going to jail. Stretch backed up. The cop kept on approaching him.

"You are coming with me, Mr. McFadden."

"No! I'm not!" He said and he zoomed out of the room. The cop followed.

Stretch had to hide. He flew through the house looking for a place to hide. If he was taken into custody, chances were he was going to be examined by a doctor sooner or later, or he would end up going into labor under such stress. He couldn't let that happen.

The cop soon caught up with him. But not until after his usual shy brothers helped to catch him. "Let me go!" Stretch cried out.

The cuffs were placed on Stretch's wrists. He was mad that he had been betrayed by his own brothers. He was taken in the car to the place.

Cliffhanger!
