Me: My dinos, welcome! I, CarnotaurusMan, am back with a new rewrite. But not just any rewrite, no no no. This rewrite is for my most successful story ever created: A Blooming Family! I am so excited to work on this masterpiece, and I'm sure the rest of you are excited as well. But fist let's get on with the disclaimer, and here to say it is the lead of this story; Reese! (Reese walks up) Ready, Reese?

Reese: (deadpan) No.

Me: (taken aback) No, what do you mean no?

Reese: After nearly being killed by Terry and brainwashed by Seth, you think I'm ready for another adventure like this?

Me: Reese, it's a part of your show to get into dangerous situations.

Reese: Maybe for Zoe and the boys, but not me!

Me: (sigh) Look, the fans are waiting on us. Just say the disclaimer, please.

Reese (groans) Ngh! CarnotaurusMan doesn't own anything from Dinosaur King. But someone, please end my misery.

Me: There we go. Roll film!

A couple of months ago, the Alpha Gang had taken Reese, brainwashed her, and even stole the dinosaur cards. But after those events, not much had changed for the D-Team. No new cards were discovered or any new threats from the Alpha Gang. It was all peaceful…

...for the moment...

At the D-Lab, Max and Dr. Taylor were seen spending time with their dinosaur companions. Max was playfully running from Chomp, who chased him. "Haha, you almost had me Chomp!" laughed the boy. Dr. Taylor was about to give Smokey, his new Daspletosaurus, a doggy treat. "Here you go, Smokey," he said, "A little treat, just for you."

"Rooar (Oh boy)!" Smokey wagged his tail. He then jumps up to snag the treat, only to bite down on Dr. Taylor's hand.

"Youch!" As Smokey let go, Dr. Taylor held his hand as he endured the pain, "You got quite the bit. Don't you, Smokey?" Max replies to his dad's comment, "Welcome to my world, dad."

Enter Rex and Zoe, with Zoe carrying a file in her hand. Ace and Paris raced past them to start playing with Chomp and Smokey. They greet, "Hey guys."

"Well hello, Mr. and Mrs. Owen," Max chuckles.

Rex couldn't help but roll his eyes, this makes Zoe giggle too. "Really, Max?" he says.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help myself." said Max, "But, come on. We all know you two are bound to marry each other." This causes Rex and Zoe to both shy away with blush on their faces.

Dr. Taylor then pipes up, "Anyways, how's it going kids? Need anything?"

Zoe holds up the file in her hand and says, "We need to give this to Reese, she forgot this back at home and asked us to bring it. Have you guys seen her?"

Both father and son tried to recollect where they last saw the blonde scientist. "She is, or was I think," Max thought out loud.

"It's been about fifteen minutes, but I think Reese said she was heading to the restrooms." Dr. Taylor said.

"Okay, we'll go check the restrooms and see if Reese is okay." With that said, Rex and Zoe left the room to go find Zoe's sister. They enter into the hallway when…

"ROAR (HELP)! ROOOAR (SOMEONE HELP)!"

The couple noticed Bud, Reese's Saurolophus, came running up with great urgency. Immediately, the two could tell something was wrong. "Bud, what's wrong?" asked Zoe, "Is Reese okay?!"

"Rooar (Follow me)!" Bud directs Rex and Zoe to Reese's location. They reach the restrooms where the door was opened. Both kids exchange worried glances before Zoe takes a look inside, "Reese, are you ok…" Zoe gasps as Rex takes a look.

Reese was kneeling in front of the toilet looking miserable. A few hair strands stood out, her glasses were slightly crooked, all the while she was moaning and was just miserable.

"Oh my gosh, Reese!" shrieked Zoe, "Are you alright?!"

As Reese was about to respond, her stomach growled as she covered her mouth with her fist. She then vomited into the toilet before flushing it down. Reese looks back up, "I've been better…"

Rex then asks her, "What happened?"

"I'm not sure. One moment I was fine and well, and the next thing I know I'm throwing up every few minutes," says the blonde scientist, "I'm not sure if I have the flu or if I have food poisoning, but…" Reese stops as she starts gagging a few times before vomiting again. She wipes her mouth with the sleeve of her lab coat, "But this is worse than anything I've ever had."

Zoe looks at her boyfriend, "Rex, go get Dr. Taylor, I'll stay with Reese." With a nod from Rex, he and Ace ran off to go find Max's dad. Zoe walks over to her sister and kneels down, she then rubs her back to help with Reese's condition. "Don't worry, Reese. We'll get Dr. Taylor to take you home" she says, "Just hang tight."

"I'll try, no guarantee though." Reese stuck her head back into the toilet as Zoe did her best to sooth the blonde scientist.


Some time later, Reese was taken back to her home along with Zoe. As the two sisters headed inside, Mrs. Drake was thanking Dr. Taylor. "I really appreciate you bringing my daughters back home, doctor," she said.

"Oh it's nothing Rosie, just looking out for my friends," said Dr. Taylor, while tipping his hat, "Well, I need to head back to the lab. Hopefully Reese feels better soon." The man waves goodbye as he walks away.

"Thank you, Spike! Have a nice day." Mrs. Drake waved back, then closed the door.

Inside the living room, Reese was sitting on the couch slouching over, taking deep breaths, with her arms resting on her knees. Mrs. Drake enters to check up on her eldest daughter. She asks Reese, "How are you feeling, sweetheart?"

"Miserable." Reese said, bluntly, "As if throwing up for nearly twenty minutes wasn't bad enough, but now my head is spinning."

"Alright, just try to relax. I'll be right back." Mrs. Drake walks off, leaving Reese and Zoe alone.

As Zoe watched her older sister, she felt sorrowful of Reese's current situation. She's never seen her in so much pain before, it even scared her at times. Though, surprisingly, Zoe has been quiet ever since Dr. Taylor brought both girls home from the D-Lab. It was even becoming apparent to the eldest Drake daughter. "You've been awfully quiet, Zoe. You and I both know this isn't like you," She said, "What's the matter?"

Zoe looks at the ground as she explains, "I'm really worried about you, Reese. You said it yourself, this is worse than anything you've had. I'm scared you'll end up in the hospital if things get worse."

Reese could feel how Zoe felt about her conditions, she even found it heartwarming that her younger sister cares so much. "Hey." Zoe looks up at her, Reese continues, "I'm sure things will be alright with me, I've survived quite a few things. Us Drakes are troopers, you know?" This makes Zoe giggle a bit as both sisters cracked a smile, "So don't feel too down about me, I'm sure everything will be fine."

"Alright, I believe you."

Mrs. Drake enters the room with a glass of water and a couple of pills. She announced, "I'm back," and handed Reese the glass of water and the pills, "This should help." Reese swallows the pills and then drinks some water. Then, Mrs. Drake placed a hand on her daughter's forehead and she could feel Reese burning up. "Reese, I think you should lie down and get some rest," said Mrs. Drake.

"Okay." With a nod from Reese, both the mother and younger sister helped her get up off the couch and upstairs to her bedroom.


Evening soon came around, the sun had just set and the sky was getting darker out. Reese had been in bed for quite some time, her stomach had settled down slightly but was still not feeling quite herself. This was really starting to get on her nerves. "Ugh, why is my body disagreeing with me today? It's never been this bad, not even when I get the flu," she wondered out loud. Reese lets out a sigh, "Just calm down, Reese. It'll be fine, by tomorrow everything will be fine. No one ever has stomach problems this bad." Reese turns her body over to try and get some more sleep.

"Then again, mom did have bad acid reflexes when she was…"

Before she finished, Reese shot up out of bed looking terrified. "No! It...it can't be!" She jumps out of bed and rushes over to her chest of drawers, she pulls out a drawer and reaches inside to grab a few small rectangular boxes. "This is impossible! I couldn't be…then again, that night..."

Reese began to remember that a couple of months ago, during one of her dates with Zander, one night they decided to let loose and had some 'fun'. Maybe what happened back then was finally catching up to her. But Reese didn't want to jump to any conclusions just yet, she tries to downplay the idea, "No it's not that, it's not that at all. It's just the flu. These things are usually wrong, yeah. I'll prove it." Reese walks out of her bedroom and proceeds to the bathroom.


Thousands of miles in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is headquarters of the Alpha Gang, Zeta Point. Within the many rooms of the base, Zander is seen in his room just lounging around. With no new dinosaurs being discovered or any new crazy schemes from Dr. Z, he and his sibling have been taking things easy until duty calls.

Zander was reading a novel to pass the time before he would hit the hay for the night. Meanwhile, Spiny was seen sleeping on the edge of the bed. That's when Zander's phone began to ring. He sets his book down, gets off of his bed and heads for the phone. He picks it up and answers the call, "Hello? This is Zander…"

"*sniff* Z-Zander…"

He could recognize that voice anywhere, it was the sad voice of his beloved angel Reese. "Angel, what's wrong?" He asks.

"Zander, I...I discovered something *sniff* something bad."

Zander didn't like the sound of that. But regardless, he was persistent on learning what was troubling his lover, "What is it? You know you can tell me, Reese."

"Alright. *sniff* So earlier at the D-Lab, I...I felt sick suddenly *sniff* and I didn't know wh...what it was. A-At first I thought it was the flu, but...but…" Reese is heard, continuing to cry.

"Angel, please calm down," Zander tried to sooth Reese, "Tell me what happened next?"

Reese tries to lighten up her sobbing before she continues, "O-Okay. So...just before I called you, I *sniff* I tried to figure out what was wrong with me."

"Yes?"

"Zander…y...you..." Reese was barely audible at that last part. Zander couldn't understand what she said.

"I'm sorry Reese, you need to speak up a bit. What was it?"

"Z...Zander *sniff*...you're going to be a father."

The news hit him like a train, Zander stood where he was completely shocked. "You...you mean…?" He tried to speak.

"Yes, *sniff*...I'm pregnant."

(I beat my fist over my heart with a nod)

Reese: There. Happy?

Me: Yes, yes I am. Now nothing much has changed for the first chapter, but I assure you as these next chapters come around things will be different. You'll see! Just wait for the next chapter, where a staple of my stories makes his first debut. Until next time, CarnotaurusMan out! :) (Reese nods as her sign off)
