I apologize for not updating in a while, but there are reasons for that. One it was spring break (I did my own thing and what not) and Two (not sure if this is should be a reason) I watch Eddsworld on youtube and on March 25th the creator Edd Gould passed away after a 6 year battle with cancer. He is, to some degree, the reason why I wanted to start putting some of my story ideas here and hearing about his passing put me a little down. I never met him in person, but there are many other fans that felt the same way.
Wally ran through the hallways of the Axiomdesperately hoping that nothing had happened to Wendy. Daniel and Aidan stayed behind at the park not wanting Wallace to see what happened to his sister. Aidan knew what it could do to him since he went through a similar experience with Daniel, when he would spend days in the hospital and no one knew what was wrong, "Danny, Aidan do you always go to space and do stuff like today?" Daniel raised an eyebrow wondering why Wallace just called him Danny, "Well no Wallace we go up every once in a while, but it isn't a regular thing and call me Daniel, Danny is my dad you know that" Wallace laughed, "Sorry, people sometimes call me Wally, I guess I'm getting that habit as well… did you have that problem too?" Wallace looked up at him. Daniel thought about it and his cousin was right, when he was younger people back home called him Danny, a lot, and he got tired of always correcting everyone, "When I was younger, but after a while everyone finally got my name right" Of course they didn't have the concept that their names sounded more for adults and their father's were more for children, in time they will understand.
Wally finally arrived in the medical wing's waiting area. He remembered the first time he was here, waiting for Eve and getting the news he was going to be a father and the same with Wallace a few years later. Now he wanted to hear that Wendy would be alright and he didn't have to worry anymore. He was out of breath calling out for his wife "Eve! ...Eve!" Wally only said Eve name right in important times where he knew he should be serious and this situation definitely called for it. Eve came out of one of the hallways, "Wally? There you are!" Wally gave her a crushing hug, "Where's Wendy? Is she alright?" Eve took a step back, "She's still in the operating room and I'm not sure exactly what is happening right now" Wally felt his heart sink. She led him down the hallway where Danny was sitting crossed-legged on the floor. He got up when he saw Wally and Eve, "Hey Wally what took you so long?" Danny couldn't believe when his brother frowned like he used to when he was younger, he even looked like he was pouting, "Never mind that is Wendy alright?" Danny looked at the silhouettes behind the glass doors "Well everything is calm, they should be…" Just then one of the doctors walked out taking off his latex gloves and letting out a breath of air.
Eve immediately rushed to him, "Is everything alright? How's Wendy?" the doctor looked at Wally and Eve and smiled "She's fine, all she needs is plenty of rest" Wally and Eve felt the air they were both holding slowly come out in a content sigh, "Thank goodness" 3 others walked out murmuring to each other what had just happened to Wendy, Eve managed to hear some of their conversation, "I have never seen any virus do damage like that…" "If I didn't know any better it looked like a heart attack" "You think it had something to do with our genetic modifications?" "Unlikely, but we can't rule it out completely though…" The doctor saw Eve's face turn pale when they mentioned the modifications Eve went through and walked toward the group before giving them a stern talking to about brainstorming in front of non-medical personnel, especially if they are related to the patient. Wally slowly made his way past the sliding glass doors seeing Wendy in a peaceful sleep. Eve finally got a hold of herself and stepped into the room, Wally was lightly stroking Wendy's cheek while Mira was speaking, "I'll let you think about it" Mira stepped outside leaving Eve and Wally alone with their daughter. Eve tried to find the words to say at a time like this, but like anyone else, she couldn't think of anything "Wally…what did Mira tell you?" Wally turned to her with glassy eyes, "They haven't put the pacemaker yet, but Mira said we should do it soon because these episodes get more frequent…" Eve looked at her daughter "…it's better if you ask her what happened I didn't get it at all, something about missing a beat" Eve looked at Wally again "When will she have the operation?" Wally sighed, "That's what I was going to talk to you about" Eve braced herself, "It looks like we are going to Washington…"
Mira found Danny past the glass door, "Danny where are the kids?" "Uhh…um" Mira crossed her arms, "Shouldn't we go check on them?" Danny felt himself heat up in embarrassment, "Well Daniel is responsible, I thought I should wait for Wally before leaving" Mira gave a small chuckle seeing Danny like that, as if he just did something bad. "Get the kids and take them home, I'll be there soon" Danny gave a small smile and kissed her "You know how wonderful you are Mira?" she just smiled "With you reminding me every day? How can I forget?" Danny chuckled and made his way out of the Axiom.
Eve walked out of Wendy's room and sluggishly made her way toward Mira, "Mira we have to talk" Mira turned, "Yeah I know" Eve heard a tone that sounded almost like anger, "Mira should we leave for "New Beginning" soon?" there was a pause, "It is for the best and the things I need are back home anyway" "Ok thanks Mira" Eve turned when Mira spoke up "I understand…" Eve turned around in confusion "I understand that you are upset by all this, but…" Eve was a little confused, "What do you mean?" Mira looked right at her "I acted just like you did so I'll let what happened before slide" Eve was really confused "Let what slide?" Mira sighed "You hurt Danny" Eve pinched the bridge of her nose, almost hating herself for going so far "I'm sorry Mira I didn't…I wasn't trying to" "I could still taste the blood Eve…" Eve almost never felt bad for something she did except when it came to Wally, "It won't happen again" Mira took a step closer and for the first time Eve felt intimidated, "If you hurt Danny like that again, we are going to have a problem"
Mira walked away leaving a stunned Eve behind. She shouldn't be surprised at all; she wouldn't even warn people if they hurt Wally. Then again since Auto, no one has ever hurt him, well physically anyway, so Mira's anger was justified. Eve just had to remember to control her temper before it got the best of her.
Well I'm back and thank you so much for your review Dread Barb that was more helpful than any English teacher I've ever had. I know this is short, but next chapter will be longer.
