Im on somewhat of a roll so have yet another chapter! I would also like to say that we've officially made it to 90 chapters! The original goal for this fic was the 100 chapters at least before ending but I still have plenty of ideas so we're going to be going past my 100 chapter goal! I may make a new one but for now we'll just see how it goes. Anyway I have to give some credit to Celrock again as some of this was part of her idea once again.
Hope you all enjoy!
"Oh no! I don't wants to get attacked by the alieums too. I'd better hide!" Dil thought to himself, as he quickly crawled away from where Savannah and his older brother were playing, and crawled into Spike and Spiffy's doghouse, before his mommy could grab him.
Dil stumbled into the corner of the doghouse, shaking in fear, as the visions of the green alien with the syringe in his nightscare, flashed through his head.
"I'm not going to the doctors and im not going to gets a shot. " Dil thought to himself, as he heard his name being called by his mother's voice.
"Stu honey, have you seen Dil?" Didi called to her husband, who was off to the side of the patio in a lawn chair, reading the newspaper and sipping on some lemonade.
"Yeah, he was playing with Tommy and Savannah a few minutes ago." Stu replied, glancing up from his newspaper.
"Well he's gone! And we're going to be late for his appointment!" Didi said, glancing frantically around the yard.
Hearing his mother's distress, Tommy moved over to Savannah.
"We've gots to find where Dilly went to hide." Tommy said to Savannah, who stopped playing with her younger sister, to realize Dil was no longer playing with the ball.
"I'll help you looks. I'll check the bushes, and you check the doghouse." Savannah suggested.
"Good idea Savannah." Tommy said, as the two toddlers split off to look for him.
Sure enough, Tommy quickly found his brother in the back corner of the doghouse, looking very nervous.
"Come on Dil, you've gots to go to the doctors. Don't you wants to get your rooster shot and stay all nice and healthy?" Tommy asked, crawling closer to his brother.
"No!" Dil snapped, crossing his arms and turning around away from his brother only to slump his shoulders. "I just don't wants to get attacked by the alieums.".
"Dil, there are no alieums! It's gonna be ok, I gots the rooster shot when I was your age, and I was ascared at firstest, but then I gotted the shot and it wasn't that bad." Tommy said, patting his brother on the back.
Dil slowly turned around, wiping away the tears that were starting to form at the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, staring up at his brother.
"Are you sure?" Dil asked, shakely.
"Yeah, you can trusts me Dil, everything's going to be ok." Tommy said, giving his brother a hug.
"Then why did you gets sick after you gotted back from the doctors and had a shot?" Dil asked.
"I don't knows, but I didn't gets sick after the firstest rooster shot when I metted Hector, and you're gonna be ok too. I'll even go with you!" Tommy said, helping his brother out of the doghouse as the two boys ran over to their mommy, who was standing by the back door.
"There you are, Dil! We've got to get going or we're going to be late!" Didi exclaimed, frantically scooping the one year old up into her arms.
As Didi turned and began to head for the side gate, Tommy raced up and tugged on the hem of her dress. Feeling the tug, Didi looked down to notice the purple headed toddler at her feet.
"Aw sweetie, do you want to come along too?" Didi asked
"Uh huh!" Tommy nodded, a big grin crossing his face
"Alright then." Didi agreed as she called to Stu as she opened the side gate. "Stu, Tommy's going with me as well!"
"Okay Deed, I'll watch Savannah and Samayah till you get back." Stu said, flipping the newspaper page
By this point Savannah had run up to where Didi, Dil, and Tommy were to see off her friends as she waved goodbye to Dil. Soon after, Didi left with the boys as they were off to the doctor's office. Dil ended up curling up in the car as he began cuddling with his Goober doll, hoping it would arrival, checking in, and waiting for a short while, they went in to have the appointment. Like Tommy's recent appointment, Dil got his normal physical checkup starting with being weighed and measured, all the usual stuff they do at a checkup.
"Wow Dil, you're getting nice and big! Soon, you'll be as big as your brother!" Doctor Schachter jokes, giving Dil a pat on the head.
Dil gave a half smile, still feeling quite nervous about the whole appointment overall. Grabbing the clipboard off the nearby desk, Dr. Schachter flipped through the pages reviewing its contents.
"Alright Mrs. Pickles, we're almost finished here just a couple more things. First things first, it's time for Dil's booster so I'll have the nurse get the necessary materials for me." Dr. Schacther began to explain, gesturing to the nurse to go ahead and gather the materials as she left the room. "While she gets that, I recall you mention Dil seeming to continue to be very fussy, gassy, and having loose stool not long after many of his meal times?" Dr. Schachter questioned
"Oh yes, he seems perfectly normal any other time of the day, but it seems like after his meals he gets an upset stomach followed up by his little diaper incidents." Didi explained
"I see, it seems like Dil could possibly have a lactose intolerance from the sounds of it. Of course one of the best ways to test this is adjusting his diet temporarily and see if those symptoms improve at all. Then slowly reintroduce those foods individually to see if the symptoms return. After that we can follow up with further testing and hopefully solutions to help." Dr. Schachter explained to Didi
"Alright, thank you doctor I'll try that out as soon as we're home for lunch." Didi thanked the doctor as the nurse returned with the materials necessary
"Well then, lets get you all out of here!" Dr. Schachter chuckled as he rolled back to the desk to prep the syringe before rolling over closer to Dil as he cleaned the area on his right arm. "Alright Dil, this is your booster shot, it may hurt a little but I assure you it'll all be done before your know it." Dr. Schachter reassured Dil
As the doctor swabbed a cotton with alcohol on Dil's arm, Dil glanced over at Tommy, who was watching, giving him an approving smile, as Dil let out a couple of deep breaths. Setting the cotton aside, the doctor gave him the shot. He slightly whimpered a little from the pain of the shot, but quickly stopped when Doctor Schachter showed him the choices of bandages.
"Alright, which bandage would you like, Dilster?" Dr. Schachter asked the one year old
Looking at his selection of choices, Dil quickly spotted the Goober bandaid as he pointed to it. Dr. Schachter then placed the bandage on his arm as Dil grinned. Now finished with the appointment, Didi set up for a follow up with Dil in a couple weeks before taking the two out of the building as they finally got to head home.
Upon arriving back home, after Didi took a quick stop at the grocery store to grab a few things, Savannah and Dil ran over to each other to greet one another with a hug. Didi chuckled as she went into the kitchen to prepare for the kids' slightly late lunch. Going over to the T.V. The three toddlers watched the Goober show until it was time for them to eat. Luckily, unlike Tommy, Dil was not having any of the symptoms that Tommy had been having over the past few days besides the fact that his arm was sore.
"How are you feeling Dilly?" Tommy asked between mouthfuls of mash potatoes.
"My arm feels sore, but that's it." Dil said, scooping some tiny pieces of beef into his mouth.
"See? I told you everything would be ok." Tommy said, going back to eating the rest of his lunch
"What about my boo boo on my arm?" Dil asked.
"That will go away in a few days. See?" Tommy said, holding up his arm where he had the shot, the Reptar bandage, now gone.
Dil just smiled, as he went on eating, relieved that the aliens were all gone, knowing his boo boo would be gone in a few days, but for now, he admired the Goober bandage on his arm. Continuing on eating his lunch, Dil eventually found himself feeling thirsty as he grabbed his bottle from nearby that his mom placed on the table in front of him. Taking a few sips of the milk inside of it, Dil quickly noticed something was off as he frowned in confusion.
Will Dil figure out what's wrong with his bottle? Find out next time!
