Traci calm down deep breaths first," as soon as the professor said this Traci began to take deep breaths " then when your heart has stoped racing walk to the house and make up my spare bed and get the bathroom ready these kids need a bath. And after you get the bathroom set up start making..." turning to Anistasia "What do you and your brother like to eat?"
"Umm we like macaroni and cheese?" Anistasia hesitantly replied.
"Start making macaroni and cheese with hot dogs ok? If you need to ask Kayla or Sam for help ask them ok? Acually tell one of them to make the geust room up and the other to prepare the bathroom. When you three are done with that finish you rounds and go home. Now Get A Move On!" the professor finished his orders. As Traci ,against the professors wishes tore across the fields to the house.
"Now Anistasia.." he said looking at Anistasia " are you ok? Your shaking!" he exclamed nealing down to embrace the child.
"I-is that m-man going to s-stay with us? And EEPP!" Anistasia Yelped as the dragonite patted her back. "W-what is THAT?" she asked turning around. "Draco you found us like you promised! I knew you would keep your promise but he said you wouldn't ever be comming back." she said weakly hugging the dragonite.
"First Traci is my student aide so no he will not be staying with us. Second how do you know his dragonite is he yours?" he asked
"Yea he is, my Mommy gave him to me as an egg and with her and Kurt's help I raised him" she said turning her head tward the professor but still keeping the embrace with Draco. "That reminds me.. Do you still have the egg we found?" she said backing away from Draco and looking expectantly at him.
"Drago Nite!" he said producing a large egg with red, blue, and green triangles on it and proudly cradeling it tward Anistasia.
"Oh! Thank you so much for keeping it safe I know it's close to hatching and if it had hatched wile you had it... it would think you were it's Mommy!" She exclaimed taking the egg and cradeling it against her chest. "As soon as we get to your lab can you look at it to make sure it's ok?" she asked the professor giving him her best puppy dog eyes.
"Yes I will look at it for you if you like.. are you ok? Here sit down and take deep breaths" He said as she started shaking "Draco? Can you carry her back to the house? If you'll do that I'll carry him and then I'll call Mrs. Ketchum and have her look the kids over to make sure that they aren't sick." he said adjusting Kurt and began walking to the house with Draco carring Anistasia and her mystery egg.
"Do you think my Daddy was sick too?" asked a sleepy Kurt who had finaly woken up and suprised the others with this question.
"He realy hurt Mommy and twied to do it to me and 'Stasia."
"I don't know. All that matters now is that you and your sister are ok." replied the some what shocked professor. 'When we get back to the lab I'm going to have Traci call the police station to see if there have been any missing children or recent murder cases with the victims or kids with a last name of Lee...'
'If I might ask how old are you guys?' the professor asked heastantly, walkin the last of the fields.
"I'm three almost four..." Kurt said sheepishly and to everybodys suprise snuggled into the professors neck.
"I'm almost ten." Anistasia said quietly in Draco's arms fighting sleep.
"That's good to know for future refrences..." the professor mumbled to hisself as they walked up the yard to the professor's lab/house. "Ok now that we are here, Anistasia can you please stand up grab your delightfully unusual egg and put Drago... wait I can remember... Draco! Yes, Draco in his poke-ball and follow me so he won't accidentily knock something over and we can decide who wants to get a bath first?" he asked as he sat Kurt down and walked through the front door to the robbin-egg blue three story house with white support pillars on the enormous porch that had a patio table and matching chairs in one corner and a chain link fence in the back where many diffrent types of small pokemon ran around in the yard.
"I'll take a bath first I'm icky! Ewwwww!" said a grosed out looking Kurt. Who had began to run his fingers through his hair in a futile attempt to remove some of the caked in mud, leaves, and bits of blood.
"Ok? Anistasia do you want to go to the bedroom and lay down? I'm sure the girls have made up the bed. Unless you want to wait in the bathroom with me and your brother while he takes his bath so I can clean your wounds up too or you can go downstairs and eat with Traci." the professor hesitantly said to the now slightly trembling girl as she led them through the spacious living room to the hallway.
"N-no I don't want to, I'll go with you so I can get a bath right after Kurt..." she replied quickly as the trio made it up first flight of stairs to the bedrooms and bathrooms.
"Right here" the professor said pointing tward a room with a dark cherry door "is your room. Oh! Hello Sam did Traci put you in charge of fixing up the room for these two?" he asked the younger woman walking in to the crimson walled room with cream accents, a cherry wood four poster bed that had crimson sheets and a cream canopy , and a matching dresser and night stand.
"Yes he did. Do you need me to do anything else?" the petite red head asked.
"Umm, yes will you giving this little guy a bath" he said motioning to the smaller child behind him. "I am going to my room to find some clothes that will fit her and if I can find some in a smaller or equal size bring them in here for Kurt." he said "Oh, and if you see Kayla tell her to bring a small crate with a few soft and warm blankets for her egg. Anistasia is going to lay down and I'm going to get the clothes and call Delia and see if she call look after them while I make some important calls." he said holding the egg as Anistasia climbed into bed and took the egg back from him.
"Ok can do professor, after I give him a bath do you want me to give her one too?" she said picking up Kurt and motioning to Anistasia who had quickly fallen asleep carefully clutching to egg to her side.
"No she's old enough that she can take one herself after she wakes up." he said walking out of the door "Ha! that reminds me she may have hit her head on a rock or something similar earlier so after you give him a bath wake her up, but be gentle as not to scare her ok? Be back in a few minutes to bring those clothes back."
As the professor scrambled out of the room and into the hallway he let his mind wander to what he was going to tell Delia "I can't just call and say "Hey Delia I found these two kids unconscious and abandoned on the edge of the preserve thanks to the girls dragonite do you think you could take them in while I see if they're mother is alive and inquire about their father to the police? Oh by the way the boy is three and the girl is almost ten so she can start her pokemon journey soon and they are probably emotionally damaged, too. Thanks a bunch!" yea that would go over well with her I would get scolded for being irresponsible and leaving them with her not that she would really mind. I did happen to over hear her talking to Mr. Mime about fostering some children a few days ago... But if I just ask her she might say 'no' so what to do? Something will defiantly come to me in the morning but first I need to see about something that won't be to big on those kids right now and maybe when I call Delia she will still have some of Ash's smaller clothes. Anistasia is about the same size as Ash when he was her age, but this should do for now. He finished holding up two small pairs of t-shirts and shorts that one of his grandchildren had left behind when they were younger and had forgotten about, and no matter how many times he had tried to put them back into their bags, always ended up back in his dresser some how.
Jul 22nd, 6:54am
Walking back into the room he had left the children in he saw a sight that could melt even the coldest of hearts. Both children had been freshly bathed and were wrapped up in huge fluffy towels and were snuggled up together like hatchling huddling for warmth. Anastasia's mystery egg had been placed in a crate that lay at the foot of the bed all wrapped up too.
"Professor... They just fell asleep so if you want to just leave those clothes on the dresser I'm sure they will find them in the morning its getting kinda late. If you want I can let the girl's pokemon out of its ball for extra protection if you're worried about them..." Sam said walking up behind him holding a star and rainbow decorated pokeball that could only belong to the child in question.
"I'll do it, you just go home as you said it's getting late and I can't have one of my best assistants calling in sick because she worked herself into a state of exhaustion." taking the sticker covered pokeball and gently pushing the younger girl out of the door and releasing the large dragon pokemon into the room. "Ok Dragonite I know you can tear apart a tree if you want to but try to contain your strength wile your in the house please? I'll let you stay in the house if you stay with the children for the night and make sure they don't have any nightmares. Traci will bring you some poke chow in a few minutes so just curl up and take a nap until then." He said giving the gentle giant a small smile, pulling a blanket over the children.
"Sleep tight guys tomorrow the adventure begins." and with that the professor turned off the lights and shut the door, ending the day.
