Boomer watched, looking a bit dejected as Brick quickly gathered their dishes and more or less tossed them into the sink. The redhead swiftly brushed past them without a word, a slight look of irritation showing on his features. The blond sighed, once again Brick had to take care of something he shouldn't have had to.
"H-H-He n-never g-g-g-gets a b-b-break d-does he?" He asked, looking over at Butch. The dark-haired brother simply shrugged.
"I guess not. But don't worry about it, he'll be back soon. Greg fucked up again, so he's gotta fix it." Butch stretched before he rose from his seat, quickly hooking an arm around Boomer's and yanking the blond up. "C'mon Booms, lets go watch some T.v until he gets back, ok?"
"O-Ok" Boomer nodded, sparing a light laugh when Butch nuzzled the side of his face affectionately, the movement slightly ticklish to the blond.
"Right answer, ya' big baby."
The head nurse at BrunBury Hospital quickly glanced at the clock on the side of the wall and shook her head, short grey hair bouncing with the movement. Any minute now and her new recruit would be bursting in, apologizing for being late when in reality she was always half an hour early. Mrs. Eileen Brinway as she was called, stood up and walked to the back room of the office she resided in, opening the worn wooden door with some difficulty. She flipped on the light switch and the small crowded room was bathed in dim light. Files upon files were stored here, some organized into boxes, others littered across the shelves and some even on the floor. Thinking of her new recruit brought her back to the time she was a newly recruited nurse. She had been hired around the time that Chemical spill had happened twenty two years ago. Eileen reached the back of the room and grabbed a small box from the very bottom of the shelf. She set it on the small cluttered desk next to the door and opened the lid.
This particular box only held a total of seven files, each relating to the Chemical spill she had thought about. Chemical X, as it was called, had been leaked from a nearby research facility studying untested drugs and had managed to make its way into Townsville's waterline supply. Six months it had set and was passed through all the pipelines in the Townsville resident's homes before anyone noticed. Two months taken to contain it, and four months to completely eradicate it from the water. It had caused a few deaths for some, and others gained uncurable sickness. The biggest thing it had took effect on, was for seven families and their children. For some reason, for seven families birthing triplets, it had taken a different effect. Each triplet looked different from the other. Always, there had been a redhead, a blond, and a dark-haired child. Eileen brushed her withered hands over the files, shifting them so that all the names could be seen. Abuto, Dener, Fenix, Jojo, Pluto, Reyce, Utnonium.
Jojo.
Eileen's pale blue eyes lingered on that name for a moment, her mind replaying the scene in her head.
"My kids?! Are you fucking kidding me you stupid bitch?! LOOK AT THEM! LOOK YOU WHORE!" A young brunet man snapped, pointing at the three bundles his wife held to her chest protectively. The blonde woman's dark blue eyes had widened and she trembled where she sat upright on the hospital bed.
"T-Thomas please, they a-are yours I-I swear!" She stuttered, fearing not only for her safety but also that of her children.
"Please Miranda! Look at them! Look, fucking red hair! And that one has black! Black fucking hair. The only one that looks right is that fucking bastard there!" Thomas shouted, pointing at the small blond boy in Miranda's arms. The blond had opened his eyes, only to be greeted with a scowl and a loud voice, and immediately began crying on instinct. The dark haired child joined him, although his cries sounded more like angry screeching. Lastly, not knowing or understanding what had upset his brothers, the redhead also started to cry.
Eileen stood in the doorway, the newest and only nurse available to attend to the Women's Pregnancy wing. Being new, she didn't want to get in trouble her first day by interfering in a patient's affair. So she stood silently, waiting for the man to calm himself. Thomas simply scoffed and shoved himself past Eileen, a scowl on his face. She quickly walked to Miranda's side.
"It's okay Miss, I'm sure he'll calm down once he see's the news, with the Chemical spill found in the water." Eileen said softly. Miranda simply smiled and wiped at her face, trying to get rid of the tears. "Besides..." Eileen continued "Who could stay mad at these little cute boys. May I hold one?"
Miranda nodded and Eileen picked up the bundle that rested in the middle of Miranda's lap. She quickly tucked him in her arms, and blinked when she realized she was staring at what looked like, red eyes.
"U-Um have you decided on names yet?" She asked, trying to distract herself from her surprise.
Miranda nodded. "Y-Yes, We..I wanted them to have all B names, for m-my dad. Kinda hard to think now..." She sniffled. She looked down at the blond boy on her right, smiling when he looked up at her, dark blue eyes shimmering with tears. "Boomer..." She cooed, leaning down to press a kiss to the blond's forehead. Miranda then shifted her attention to the baby on her left. Dark green eyes looked up at her, eyebrows slightly furrowed. He looked like he would grow up to be a tough little man. "Butch..." She breathed, kissing the top of his head.
"And this little guy?" Eileen encouraged, returning the redhead to his mother's lap. Miranda's blue eyes clashed with her son's red eyes. She was quiet for a moment, seeming to space out before she muttered...
"Brick."
Eileen shook her head. She had always wondered what became of those precious boys. The Head Nurse once again brushed her hand over another file, this one bringing a slight smile to her face.
Utonium.
This one brought back a happier memory in her youthful days.
"H-Honey..I-I'm so sorry. They're yours, believe me. I don't know what happened...John.." A redheaded woman sobbed, holding onto three newly born little girls. She just couldn't understand how she had ended up with a blonde. And a little dark-haired child with fern green eyes.
Instead of yelling or looking down accusingly at her, the young man quickly coddled his wife, gently running his hand through her red locks. "It's okay Sarah. This must've been what Alex talked about with the Chemical X leak." The young man, adorning a white lab coat, tenderly picked up one of the bundles his wife held. Bright baby blue eyes opened, and the small blonde baby let out a sudden giggle. John smiled at her. "Well aren't you all cute and bubbly. Thats it! Sarah, we'll call this one Bubbles!" He decided, tucking the small blonde in his arms. Sarah nodded and Eileen, unable to stay silent, stepped into the room.
"Um hello. I'm your nurse Eileen. If you like I can hold one of them while you decide on names." Sarah nodded and Eileen was once again handed the small redhead.
"Thank you miss. Now lets see...Oh hey where do you think you're going little lady!" John chided playfully, referring to the dark-haired girl who had tried to wiggle her way out of the blanket she was bundled in. Sarah giggled and adjusted her hold on the infant. "Hmmm Buttercup maybe? After your mom John?" Sarah suggested, lightly tapping the tip of the baby's nose.
"That sounds wonderful dear. Bubbles, Buttercup, and..." John paused, and Eileen took the cue to slide next to them, gently setting the small redhead onto Sarah's lap. All three were surprised when she stirred and opened up her pink colored irises.
"Pink? Thats an unnatural pigmentation of the eyes...Probably another effect of Chemical X..." John muttered under his breath.
Eileen smiled softly when those unnatural pink eyes shifted her way. "They're almost like those Cherry Blossoms my boyfriend ordered for me..." She mumbled out loud. Sarah looked at the nurse before looking back at her unnamed baby girl.
"Eileen that is a wonderful name. John, this one will be our little Blossom."
Eileen gave a small laugh and quickly closed the box once again, and returned it so it's proper place before shuffling out of the room, turning off the light. She returned to her seat, laughing under her breath when the side door quickly opened and her new nurse quickly entered the office, slightly out of breath.
"I'm so sorry I'm late Nurse Brinway!"" The redhead apologized, quickly straightening herself up. Her new nurse wore the standard white uniform, which stopped a little ways above her knee's, and unlike most of the recruits that didn't seem to grasp the 'Hair pulled back' policy, her long red hair was tied up in a high ponytail, along with a red bow tied around it as well.
"How many times do I have to tell you, if you're in before Larry, you're early" Eileen chuckled, pale blue meeting bubble gum pink "Blossom."
