I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH JURASSIC PARK/WORLD, ONLY MY OWN CHARACTERS AND STORYLINES
Guest: This is awesome and so very well written!XD I love how you put in the interactions as the babies grow bigger with Ahura. I'm so ecstatic to see how you'll develop the story as they get older and what's going to happen of this follows a similar plot line to the movie with twists and turns added. Keep up the spectacular work you've done!
My Response: Aww thank you! As mentioned, it will pick up in the upcoming chapters and I am very excited to read them ^^ Obviously, when the ages are right, the movie will most definitely be coming into play 0^0 That is all I will say for now
Dr. Novine ran his finger of the X-Rayed jaw with interest in his eyes. "The Allosaurus actually had quite a weak bite for their size and teeth. It's thought they used their heads almost like a battering ram to bring their opponents down and then cut into them with their teeth. However, this jaw suggests a damn powerful bite." He looked over at the X-Rays of the Indominus babies and put them beside Reider's. "Compare the jaws, Ahura. What do you see now?" She looked them over with realisation in her eyes.
"They all have the same jaw... Do Xue and Chiari have Allosaurus in them?"
"They're hybrids, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but – like I said before - that isn't an Allosaurus jaw. That is the jaw of its very close cousin." He looked down at Reider, as if for conformation. "How old is Reider?"
"Nearly a month." Ahura answered immediately, bending down to kiss the Dinosaur's snout.
"Right. That jaw belongs to Carcharodontosaurus, and so does Reider's size. Despite what I assume you've been told, Reider is large for an Allosaurus baby, and that's why. They used the DNA of his larger cousin to make him scarier," Novine shook his head. "By using Carcharodontosaurus, he'll be two-three times bigger, a much stronger bite and a more vicious killer... He's predominantly Allosaurus, so that works in our favour."
"How large will he be compared to Xue and Chiari?" If he would be that much larger, then the paddock needed to be far larger than it was.
"I only know that the girls have T-Rex and Carcharodontosaurus in them. Based on that, he'll still be smaller than them, but not much. Carcharodontosaurus was larger than T-Rex, but his predominant Allosaurus DNA will make him smaller. From that, he'll probably be the size of T-Rex: either a fraction smaller or larger. We'll have to see." Novine gave a very irritated huff. "I don't understand why they do it. Allosaurus inspires enough fear as it is... But now they make this innocent little boy as large as T-Rex with a larger jaw power. Not to mention he'll be very nimble." He sighed sadly, but gave a tiny smile when Reider nuzzled his hand; sensing his discomfort. "He's such a sweet boy, isn't he?"
"The sweetest." Ahura gave a smile back. "Just alone, he'll need a paddock like Amara and Rexy when he gets older." Amara was Rexy's child. Rexy was still living strong and true, but she had a legacy just as fearsome, powerful, calm and wise. Ahura was proud that she had been allowed to name the legacy when she was just a child, and she had chosen the name Amara, meaning 'unfading'. Amara was the first Dinosaur she ever helped to raise, and she was proud of that; even more proud of how like her mother Amara was. Amara had the same, raw fire in her ancient, wise eyes and was more of a forest green than the bark brown her mother was. Still, Rexy was the more fearsome, wise beast in Ahura's eyes, and was glad they knew each other. "Not to mention the girls."
"Will they be living together?" Novine asked as he began to make notes on the Allosaurus.
"Until someone says otherwise. I don't know how they'll cope being apart right now." Ahura heard annoyed noises behind her and saw Xue and Chiari were now wide awake. She was amazed at how little time they spent napping, despite it being frequent. "So, who's telling Masrani?"
"I'll do that, it'll sound better." Novine shrugged. "They all seem so sweet, Ahura. Not as clingy as I expected them to be, but I'm sure it'll lessen even more as they age."
"I estimated they'll be far more independent by six months." Ahura knew it was best for them, but also knew that they would still lean on her a lot if she was there. She held in a laugh at how she pictured them as adults: fully grown, fearsome appearances, but still wanting to hide in her house or have her pet them when they were sad.
"Most likely. It's thought that Allosaurus babies are abandoned after around three months, and I'm unsure about Xue and Chiari." Novine continued to run his hand over Reider with a soft smile. "I don't understand why they would infuse him with Carcharodontosaurus. Perhaps for the bite power?"
"To quote Miss. Dearing: 'The scarier they are, the more attention the assets will receive'." Ahura shrugged as Reider bounced around, seeing his sisters running around on the floor and tried to alert his mother about the actions of his sisters. Ahura turned and rolled her eyes, sticking out her foot as they ran by and effectively tripped them up. "Watch your surroundings, girls." They tried to climb on the table to, but needed a little help from Ahura, and rubbed against their brother. "So, one tablet twice a day and come back in a couple of weeks?"
"Yes." He showed the X-Ray of Reider's abdomen, pointing out what looked like a small ball of white. "I'm unsure what that is. It may be a harmless tumour, or part of a Carcharodontosaurus innards, I can't say. Those tablets will get rid of it unless it's a tumour, a natural part of his body or something worse. Has he shown any signs of discomfort in this area?"
"No, and I notice everything with them. Sure it isn't a reminiscence of a chicken nugget?" He shot her a dry look, but there was a ghost of a smile.
"I'm sure. Now, get out of here and take them home. I'll deal with Masrani; you just relax and don't dwell on this, okay?" Novine gave her a gentle shoulder rub as she helped the babies down, but didn't put them in the basket.
"No running off. Stay by me." Ahura told them and turned to the Vet once more. "One question: what is your first name?" She finally asked and he smiled slightly, raising a brow at her.
"Alexs." He answered shortly and Ahura nodded happily, saying goodbye and running out with her children right by her side. She slowed down to a gentle walk and was able to open her car easily for the first time in a month, realising the odd feeling of pride, and smiling when she was in the driver's seat again. Ahura didn't know how long she had been in the building, but the sun was beginning to set by the time they arrived home and got in the house. Ahura set down water for them all and collapsed onto the bed; leaving the door open so her children could come in when they were done. She made a note to start Reider on the pills tomorrow, but her train of thought was ruined when the pressure of three sleepy babies became apparent on her back.
"I need to see Owen. I'll see Owen!" The determination in her voice made her children look up briefly, before finally going to sleep. She hadn't been lying when she said she wanted to check up on all of them; from what Masrani had said, Owen had his hands full. Ahura didn't care how tough he was, four smart baby Raptors was more than enough to drain anyone. She was drained daily by her three kids, but she loved them and was sure Owen was the same with his Raptors. Feeling sleep take her, Ahura fell asleep with Reider's claws slightly digging into her shoulder blade, Xue curled in the middle of her spine and Chiari's claws dancing around as she dreamt.
"Alright Alexs, it's been two weeks, he's taken the medication exactly how you asked, and you've done examinations: what is going on?" Ahura sat down on the spare table with her even larger Indominus children beside her. During those weeks, the babies had gone through another growth spurt and were now at the top of her calves, while Reider was close to the middle of them. He had gained two thick, black stripes that ran jagged from the crests of his eyes down to the tip of his tails, but they were still quite faded.
"Has he shown any discomfort?" Novine asked and felt the lump again, a ghost of a smile appearing when Reider gave a happy shrieking noise. That was a ticklish spot for him, apparently.
"I've watched him even closer, and there's been nothing." Ahura told him and Xue jumped over her legs to start a mock fight with her sister on the large surface, both wary of their sharp teeth. "He's been completely unbothered."
"Right, I think all it is a harmless tumour – they do exist. But, the likely hood of it getting larger is very large."
"So you need to take it out?" The Hammond prodigy gently, but swiftly, tapped Chiari on the nose when she cut her sister. Novine nodded and felt it again, this time getting jaws snapping back at him. He got out of the way, but saw Reider examine the area as if he didn't even know it existed. He gave a pained whine – similar to when he was first found – and stared up at Ahura with sad eyes: as if she was the one who would make the pain go away. She lifted him into her arms and stroked his stomach gently. "It needs to come out: now."
"It can well come out now, but I need to put him under. Until you can calm him down completely, I can't do that." Alexs used his radio to call Maybelle over, surprised at how quickly she arrived. She came in the door and the Indominus girls stopped fighting, loudly trilling at seeing the familiar Vet. Reider glanced her over, but cuddled further into his mother and made Maybelle become concerned.
"He hasn't done that since the first week of his recovery." Maybelle noted to Dr. Novice and gently petted between the Allosaurus' crests. "Whatever that thing is, it's coming out and you're going to feel all better, Reider." He looked up as he seemed to digest her words, a little twinkle of light coming back to his eyes. "Then, you can do anything you want without that thing hurting you, Reider. I bet mum would even let you sleep all day." He didn't see Novine prepare a sedation syringe and Chiari managed to keep Xue quiet about the situation. As Reider trusted Novine, he paid him no attention when he got closer and kept his eyes firmly on Maybelle; who was now waving her finger around slowly to make shapes and keep his fixed attention. He registered the small scrap in his leg and snapped his eyes over to see the liquid entering his veins: fear taking control of his body. The baby fought to be free of his mother's grip – with no such luck – but soon found his body getting tired without him wanting it. Instead, he went for other instinct and curled himself into Ahura for protection against whatever was happening to him and trusted her to help him out of it. His body shook, before he fell under the sedative and was able to be placed safely on a warm blanket on the table. "Ahura, do you want to leave? It won't take more than an hour, I would think."
"I'll leave for your privacy, but you have as much chance of his sister's leaving than a thunderbolt bringing the Dodo species back from extinction." True to her word, the two sisters tried to stay on the opposite table to watch their sibling, but Ahura decided that they would intervene as soon as something went into their brother. Managing to finally get them in the basket, she rushed out of the room with an odd sense of panic rising within her: whether it was the thought of her girls tearing the Vets open or something going wrong in the operation, she didn't know, but it was presumably a mix of the two.
She power walked to the car and drove as fast as she could away from the building, but kept her phone ringer on the highest setting in case they needed her. Ahura wasn't paying attention to where her car was taking her until she ended up at the labs, taking her by surprise and making her sigh. "My subconscious has driven me. I take no blame." Climbing out of the car, she let her daughters out of the basket and allowed them to walk by her heels. This fact made them very happy as comforting Ahura was far easier when they went confined to the wicker holder that they were being put in less often. All three females entered the building, the Dinosaurs staying practically glued to Ahura's legs, but Xue's eyes were watching everything at the same time for any sign of danger. As they walked down the halls, every person in front of them would hurry into separate rooms with fear coating their faces, or turn and go the other way; Ahura's face became more irritated every time to the point her eyebrow was twitching. They were just babies, why could no one else see that? It wasn't until her aimless wondering brought her to Owen Grady having an argument with a guard to a room that her wondering became purposeful. "Owen!" She called and ran over, the girls were right at her heels the whole way but they were confused. Mother was happy to see this man, so he must be safe for them to be around, but he smelt similar to their smell, so did he have more siblings for them to bond with? The smell wasn't exact, but it was close enough for them to get excited. Both of them knew they had smelt him before, and not just because he smelt similar to them, but the memory was either very faded or they were making it up.
"Ahura, hey." Owen greeted, both men not noticing the white babies due to their silence. They were busy memorising Owen's scent from the safety of their Mother's side.
"What's happening here, if you don't mind me asking?" She question and Owen rolled his shoulders.
"Apparently, he doesn't realise how much of an idiot he is for opening the door when he heard knocking from the inside and ended up letting my Raptors out. I was coming down the hall, so I scooped 'em up and put them back. No need to worry." Owen gave a hard glare at the man and Ahura sighed softly.
"It was a mistake, Owen. There was no harm done, right?"
"I warned him my girls had learned how to make the door open." Oh, so the Velociraptors had taken a different approach; one that was just as clever in Ahura's eyes, but involved less physical effort on their part. "Didn't listen, did you?"
"Come on, Owen." She placed a hand on his arm. "I'm certain it won't happen again, will it?" Ahura asked the guard and saw him lower his eyes in shame, shaking his head. "Good, now it can all blow over. Just don't answer the door anymore unless given a proper signal, okay?" She asked softly with a kind, warm tone and the guard managed a small smile that faded when he saw Owen's darkening stare. As she was about to try and guide him away, the girls let out an excited trill as they began nosing Owen's legs with happiness. They remembered now! They were nearly asleep when they sensed him for the first time, but stayed quiet so he would stick around longer. They were only just born then and were too tired to do any more bonding, but now they were much more awake and wanted to make up for lost time. Owen stared down at them, grabbing the guard before he could run away with a scream, before staring at Ahura with confusion. She simply shrugged with a tiny smile, and took Owen's hand off the guard. "Don't scream, or they'll take it as a challenge. Just walk away whilst they're distracted." The guard stiffly walked away, but broke into a run halfway down the hall. "I guess they remember you, or they just really like you." She told Owen as he slowly got down on his knees to be more in contact with the girls.
"They're so cuddly..." He looked up at her briefly. "Are you sure they're carnivores?" He asked her with a small smile as Xue climbed onto his thighs and rubbed against his collarbones: wanting to give him a full amount of affection.
"I'm sure." Ahura got down on her knees as well and Chiari stood by her legs, not wanting to give the same amount of affection to someone they were only just getting familiar with. She wanted to give him a testing bite, but Chiari could tell that their mother may be disappointed in her... Not to mention the many others already covering him. Was he already part of another pack? Chiari pressed closer to Ahura and revelled in the soft touches of affection she received; knowing mother was subconsciously worrying about Reider. While they worried to, they trusted Reider to be the fighter he was and be completely fine after the event, he'd already beat death once and he was a lot stronger now. Reider would be fine. "If you'd met them when they were a week old, you would understand how tame this is with being cuddly." She raised a brow at him and he gave a small smile.
"My girls were this cuddly once... Then they figured out they could bite me." He rolled his eyes. "But, they're beginning to understand that's wrong and there's trust now. As you can probably see, they've had a fair go at me."
"Indeed. My girls have done the biting, but they mainly use it now as a tester thing to see what you'll do: kind of a territorial, protection kind of action."
"I get it." He stood up and Ahura followed, Xue returning to her side. "What are you doin' over here, anyway?"
"My other kid is going through an operation right now and my subconscious led me here, I still take no blame for that."
"Your subconscious led you to me?" He pretended to get embarrassed. "I feel so special!" Ahura giggled at his antics as they began the walk out of the labs, her girls right beside them and into the car park. "Can I catch a lift back to my place? I walked down here today."
"Why would you walk? Do you live close to the Labs?" Ahura asked, and confused the Indominus babies when the backdoor was opened. Still, they jumped in, but were shocked when Owen sat in their seat. If they were honest, the only thing they used that seat for was to get onto the sun ledge, although they had found it was getting a little small. They would have to get mother to get a large one. Although, they supposed that they could just use Owen, after all he'd made it even easier to get onto the ledge.
"Not really, it's a good 20 minute walk from here." He answered and jumped slightly when the girls managed to get onto his lap, and then onto the dash board: their backs under an inch from the glass as they made noises of victory. "Though I guess that is close."
"Not if you have impatient Dinosaurs waiting for you." Ahura answered, giving a sharp, unforgiving look to her daughters. She was yet to forgive them for tearing up her couch whilst she was out shopping for food. They were bored and wanted to see their future living space again
"Good point."As Owen finished his second word, Ahura's phone went off and she whipped it out of her pocket. Putting the caller on speakerphone and handed it to Owen to prevent accidents, she answered.
"Hello, fellow being. What can I do for you?" This phone call would have to be quick, she's could see Chiari and Xue eyeing up the shiny device again, still wanting to know how it functioned.
"Yo." Maybelle's relaxed voice was the best sound Ahura could've heard. "Everything has been taken care of, even though it took a little longer than expected." It had indeed been just over an hour. How long were they wondering around for? "Reider is still sound asleep, but he'll want to wake up to his mama."
"On our way, and I'm being forced to bring an extra person due to an errand. See you soon, thank you." She heard the phone go off and her little girls almost immediately lose interest. If there wasn't a voice to follow, what was the point? Owen handed the phone back with a dry expression.
"Thank you for making me sound like the bad guy."
"Don't be so silly." Ahura smiled with a childlike innocence. She gently hit his arm, before turning a corner to get on the right path to the Vets, waving at some people she knew. "I don't think you could be seen as a bad guy. I've been meaning to catch up with you anyway." She suddenly gave a giggle, like a joke had just been said, as they passed a large map. "I love how they put the creation labs on the map, but never where the Vets are."
"I know, I nearly crashed trying to find it the first time. It's hidden damn well." Owen gently petted one of the girls – unsure of which one she was – and gave a tiny smile when she eventually gave in and nuzzled his hand, allowing him to give her affection. "Who's this?"
"That is Chiari. She's the oldest by about ten seconds." Ahura looked out of her window at the trees surrounding them as they continued down the path to the Vet. "Her eyes are more a rosy colour, she's not as playful as her sister, prefers to be the second opinion giver and goes to sleep a lot easier." Chiari made a quiet, relaxed trill when Owen rubbed under her jaw with two of his fingers. "Her younger sister is called Xue, her eyes are more crimson in colour, she's very observant so be careful what you do around her – literally, she sees everything – Xue has a very protective, excited personality that will probably confuse you in the beginning if you spend more time with her." Xue looked at Ahura when her name was repeatedly mentioned, but got down from the dashboard when she saw the Vet building approach, landing gently on Owen's lap and knowing she'd be seeing Reider's condition soon. Giving a call to her sister when the car stopped, Xue and Chiari were out of the car the second the door was opened wide enough for them to run to the building's doors to wait impatiently for the humans. They both jogged over and opened the door for the hybrids, seeing Xue quickly examine how they managed the handle, before they dashed on powerful legs down the memorized route to their brother. With their humans behind them, the girls saw the handle was one they simply pulled down, so this was a very simple task. However, when they pulled the handle down, the door didn't open... There was no hole in the door for those metal things they'd seen humans use to lock doors, but Xue noticed an odd circle with a line though it within the handle itself. This was an odd thing, neither of them had seen it before. What was the purpose of it? Mother had changed the door knobs in their house, now round ones, and the hole for the metal things was in the round handle... Was this a similar thing, perhaps? They stared at each other briefly, before Chiari pulled the handle down and watched the circle jiggle slightly. Delight filled them briefly, it was a lock! Now, they just had to figure out how it opened. They stood in silence for a little while, before hearing their brother call softly as he woke up, and motivated their brains to move faster.
Ahura and Owen had caught up, and she had stopped him from opening it for them. She supposed that the Vets on the other side had locked it due to the operation, but had yet to unlock it. "Let them figure it out, Owen. It's good for them to use the brains they have, so many don't get that choice." Hearing Reider getting louder for them to reach him, as he could smell them even in his weakened state, the Indominus children gave frustrated growl before Xue's memory came into play again. With the metal thing, the humans had to insert it and then turn it. With this troublesome circle, they couldn't insert any kind of metal thing, but perhaps it did turn... Reaching up, two of the tips of her claws went into the slot and she turned her wrist one way with no avail, so she went the other way: soon hearing a click that told them it was unlocked. Loud, victorious trills followed as they flung the door open and raced inside to see their temporarily weakened brother with the Vets standing on the other side of the room. The girls gently, but thoroughly, rubbed their jaws all over their brother to get rid of the lingering smell of the operation and to replace with the scent of a Dinosaur that was under their protection. Ahura picked up the Allosaurus with care and cuddled him to her chest, willing away tears when she saw the stitches on his underside, reminded of his weakened state when he was first found. Owen placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and gave a nod of gratitude towards the Vets, seeing as Ahura was in a bit of a daze and couldn't do it herself.
The Indominus girls gave both Vets an affection rub of gratitude, before exiting the room with a call for Ahura to follow; the quicker they got their brother back home the better. It was doing him no good by being in this building, so they wanted him where he would be safe and secure. Once in the car, Reider in the backseat with his sisters curled around him, Xue was still looking over him with oddly fierce eyes once she had seen the scar. After this, she swore with flames in her eyes that she would protect her family at all costs: no one would harm a single one of them. No one.
