Props to DinoDragonMaster for the use of Turbine/Christina. Kudos to anyone who can spot the SVU reference.

Rimfire had hit different businesses for work. He was hoping to find something that would benefit him and his computer skills. He walked into a Hooters restaurant and asked for the manager.

While he was waiting for the manager, he spotted a cute waitress. She is 5'6, brown hair, tan skin, blue eyes, flat stomach, wears makeup, weighs 120 pounds and nice CCC breasts. He was mesmerized by her eyes. By the time he got the nerve to walk up to her, the manager had come out to talk to him.

They shook hands and Rimfire had asked if they were hiring by chance. "As a matter of fact, we are. All you need to do is fill out an application and I can sit down with you today for an interview."

"That would be great. By chance, what's her name?" Rimfire pointed to the blue eyed waitress.

"That's Christina. She's been here the longest. I will have her show you the ropes after the interview."

"My looks doesn't seem to bother you. May I ask why?"

"For a while, we were getting a big grey mouse in here. He stopped coming about 4 months ago."

"That's my uncle Modo. He's dating my mechanic friend, Charley."

"Charley Davidson? Good for her. She deserves a good man, er, mouse in her life. She use to be a regular patron here until your uncle and his friends showed up. It seems she doesn't have time to come by much anymore, and that's ok. Please tell her that if she ever gets married, she can have the wedding party here and everything will be on the house."

The manager went behind the cash register and grabbed an application for Rimfire to fill out. He sat down and filled out what he could cause writing down 'freedom fighter' as an occupation is not an option. He did have computer skills that he can put down.

He wrote down his uncle as a reference as well as Throttle and Charley. The only numbers he has is the garage and my cell. He put those down next to Charley and Throttle.

After he was done with the application, he gave it to the manager, who looked it over right away.

"You didn't put an occupation down, Rimfire. Why?"

"The only thing I did was be a "Freedom Fighter" on Mars. I fought on the front lines. Not an occupation you put down on an application."

"Point made. Let's go ahead and talk in my office." Rimfire followed the manager to his office and talked.

About 10 mins. later, they shook hands and the manager handed Rimfire a Hooters hat and shirt.

"Welcome to Hooters, Rimfire. Can you start next Monday? We have everyone here today. Beginning of each week is always slow so Christina can show you the ropes when you come in on Monday."

"That works for me. Do I have weekends off?"

"Yeah, but be ready to come in if we need you, ok."

"No problem. I didn't get your name."

"I am so sorry. My name is Elliot. Elliot Novak."

"So, I got my hat and my shirt. What color pants do I need?"

"Levi's. Either blue or black. And wear comfortable shoes. Boots is not a good idea when you're on your feet all day."

"No problem. I will have everything by Monday when I come in. What time do I come in on Monday?"

"6a. That way Christina can show you what you need to do before we open at 8a."

"Ok. See you on Monday at 6a, Elliot. Thanks for the job."

"No problem, Rimfire. Do good work and good things come your way."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

On his way back to the garage, Rimfire decided to stop by my place to see how I was doing. On his way there, he saw Throttle riding home. He noticed that Throttle was wearing nice clothes. "Must have been job hunting."

Rimfire caught up with Throttle and followed him home. As they pulled up, Rimfire asked how the job hunting is going.

"Not good. I have 5 months to find work before the baby comes. I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't find work by then."

"Why not continue to work for Charley? Just save up for when the baby comes."

"Sounds like a good idea…for now. You comin' by to see Michelle?"

"Yeah. Thought I'd check in on her."

"Come on up then."

They both walked up the stairs. Throttle unlocked the door and they walked in. I was sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating ice cream. I looked over and saw Throttle and Rimfire walk in.

"Hey guys. How's your job hunting going, babe?"

"Nothing yet. Rimfire suggested I continue to work for Charley for now."

"You could do that until you find something better. How about you, Rimfire? You find a job?"

"Actually, I did. I start working at Hooters next Monday morning."

"Awesome! Good food, good atmosphere and good people."

Throttle looked at me. "You go there, babe?"

"I did when I first moved to Chicago. Charley took me. She use to be a regular before she started dating Modo."

"I found out that uncle Modo use to go there too."

"Sweet, innocent Modo around all those women with big boobs? I find that hard to believe."

"I find it hard to believe, too. The reason I'm here is I was wondering if you needed anything?"

"That's nice of you to ask, Rimfire. Actually, I do need something. Could you get me a 12-pack of ginger ale? I don't care the brand." I gave him a $10 bill.

Rimfire takes the money and heads out the door and down to his bike. I patted the spot next to me and Throttle walked over and sat down next to me. I laid my head on his left shoulder. He wrapped his left arm around my shoulders and laid his head on mine.

"What have you been doing while I was out looking for work?"

"Watching TV, made the bed, took a shower. Not necessarily in that order, though."

"How you been doing with the changes to your body, other than being pregnant?"

"Well, to be honest, its been different. The tail was hard to deal with at first, but I've learned to deal with that fact that it's part of me now. I'm finding patches of fur here and there, but mostly on my feet, which would explain why my feet got way too hot when I wore socks the other day. I see why you don't wear socks, either. You get way too warm."

"Yep."

He noticed my tail was snaking its way over his lap and headed for his crotch. He looked at my tail then at me. I shrugged. "I can't help if my tail has a dirty mind."

"Its part of your hormones, babe. You know I'll cater to your every need, no matter what it is. We wouldn't be having this family if I didn't love you with all my heart, Michelle." He grabbed my other hand and brought it up and kissed it.

"I wouldn't change what we have for anything in this world. I am so glad that Charley had introduced us. I will be very honest with you, babe. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I was in love. You ignited a passion in my heart that I hadn't felt in a very long time. You gave me a reason to stay here on Earth. At one time before meeting you, I had thought about going back to Mars and staying there. Since meeting you, I knew you were the woman of my dreams. What do you say we drive to Vegas and get married?"

"What, right now?"

"Sure, why not?"

I got up and straddled his lap, then whispered into his ear. "I'd love to, handsome."

I leaned back and smiled.

"Really?"

I nodded my head then gave him the most passionate kiss I could give him.

He pulled back after the kiss. "I love you, sweetheart."

"Stealing Vinnie's vocab now, huh?"

"I actually mean it, though."

"I love you, too, you handsome hunk of a Martian mouse."

"And you say I have a way with words."

"I learn from the best. Think we could get the others to follow us to Vegas?"

"So they can get married?"

"No, for witnesses of our marriage."

"We could do a big dinner party tonight and then ask them."

"Only if you'll help me get everything ready?"

"I'd love to, beautiful. But first, I need to take care of a little problem that your tail decided to cause."

I looked down between us and noticed the bulge growing in his pants. "Mmmmmmm. We definitely need to take care of that, now don't we?"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Later that day, after Rimfire had dropped off the ginger ale, Throttle had helped me get everything ready for our big dinner party. I had him pull out the fold up table and set it up. I pulled out my cell phone and called the garage.

"Last Chance Garage. Carbine speaking."

"Hey Carbine. Charley busy?"

"Let me go check, Michelle." Then she laid the receiver down on the bench.

While I waited, Throttle came over to the sofa and asked if there was anything else he could do for me.

"Right now, no. Why don't you go take a shower."

"You going to join me after you get off the phone?"

"We'll see. I still have to get a hold of Vinnie at the scoreboard and call Rimfire. I should have asked him when he dropped off the ginger ale."

I heard the receiver get picked up on the other end. "Hey Mike. What can I do for you?"

"Throttle and I were wondering if you, Modo and Carbine would like to come over for dinner?"

"I would love to. Let me ask Modo and Carbine. Give me a few."

"No problem, Charley."

While I waited, I turned the TV on and flipped through the channels to see what was on.

"Modo and Carbine would love to go, Mike. Have you called Vinnie and Harley yet?"

"They're next on the list."

"Let me save you the call. They're out of town for the next couple of months."

"Ah, I got it. They're getting reacquainted. I know how that is. Thanks Charley. Please make sure Modo takes a shower before you 3 come over. No biker clothes allowed at this dinner."

"I'll make sure Modo wears something nice, Mike. Maybe I'll have him wear the suit when he was undercover. He looked really good."

"You gotta pic of him in the suit? I would love to see that."

"I think I do. Ask Throttle. He has my phone."

"I'll be sure to ask him. Please be here around 8p."

"Will do, Mike. Do we need to bring dessert?"

"Only if you want to."

"Ok. See you at 8p, Mike. Thanks for the invite."

"No problem, Charley. Later." Then I hung up. I turned the TV off then headed for my bedroom.

While I was enjoying my shower with Throttle, I heard my cell go off. "Damn. My hearing is better than it ever was. My phone is sitting on the coffee table and I could hear it over the shower."

"Martian mouse hearing is 10 times better than Human hearing. I was going to tell you that, but I see you already figured that out."

"I sure did. I think I'm going to like being a Martian mouse. What about smell?"

"About the same as hearing."

"What about our baby? Is he going to end up a full-blooded Martian mouse or a half breed?"

"Would you get rid of him if he was a half breed?"

"Of course not. I'm just asking. I can't believe you would even ask such a thing, Throttle."

I gave him such a glare for even asking if I would get rid of the baby. He knew I was pissed.

He stepped behind me and started massaging my shoulders. "I'm sorry, Michelle. I shouldn't have said that. Its just in my family, if the baby is a half breed, then its gotten rid of. My parents were very adamant about it being a full-blooded mouse. That's why I asked. There's still a lot you need to learn about my family traits. I don't know if my parents are alive, and if they found out I was with a Human, and she was pregnant, they'd make sure the baby was sent away and I would be shunned out of the family and stripped of my last name."

I turned around and looked at him in shock. "Are you…are you serious, Throttle? Your parents would really do that?"

"Yeah, they would. If they are alive, I hope they don't hear of this until after your complete transformation into a Martian mouse. I am hoping that our baby is a full-blooded mouse. And if he is a half breed, I will still love him. He's my son. I don't think I could live with myself if I had to do what my parents would do. They were fine with me dating Carbine early on. But when I told them I was leaving with Vinnie and Modo, they nearly threw a fit. I didn't care. It was orders from Stoker. I haven't heard from them since. Honestly, the way they were trying to run my life, even as an adult, was nuts. I'm actually glad to be here and not there. If they saw you in the middle of your transformation, they'd make me leave you to raise Tony by yourself."

"Brutal. I'd tell them where they can shove their beliefs. I'd also tell them how much I love you and our baby. If they don't like it, then they can leave. That's how I'd deal with them."

"If only it were that easy. I know this sounds morbid, but I'm actually hoping they're dead. I would never let them around Tony, knowing how they raised me. I don't want to be that kind of father for my son."

"I am so glad to hear that. All we can do is be the best parents we can for him. You never told me what you're parents' names are."

"Tredz and Silverdawn Thornboy. My mom never tried to do things behind my dad's back. If she did, she got hit. He was very abusive. What he said, was law in the Thornboy household. I'll tell you the rest after we get out of the shower."

I nodded then turned the shower off. We stepped out and dried off, then got dressed. We walked out to the living room and sat down on the sofa. I checked my cell and saw it was a text from Vinnie.

"Hey, Vinnie text me."

"Yeah? How are they doing?"

"They heard about our dinner party and was wondering if they could still come."

"Tell him yeah, they're welcome to come."

I scrolled through the text. "Seems they have a surprise for everyone when they get here."

"Why don't you give him a call. Make sure he wears something nice, ok."

"If he has anything nice to wear." Then I dialed his cell number. I let it ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Harley. Its Michelle. Is Vinnie there?"

"He's taking a shower right now, Michelle. I can have him call you when he gets out."

"Ok. Thanks, Harley."

"No problem." Then I hung up.

After I set the cell on the coffee table, I put all my attention on Throttle so he could finish his story about his abusive father.

"So, your father is abusive. Did he ever abuse you while you were growing up?"

Throttle lowered his head in shame. "Throttle, honey. You don't need to be ashamed if he did abuse you."

"I'm afraid that one day I could turn into my father and do the same thing to our son. I don't want to be like him. He scared me but at the same time, he made me mad cause he would go after my mom first. When he was done with her, he'd go after me."

I took a hold of his hands in mine and held them up and brought them closer to my chest. "I would never let you become your father. If that ever happens, I will take our son and leave. I don't like abusers of women, child or the elderly."

Throttle leaned in and gave me a kiss. "I would expect nothing less from you, sweetie. If you do take our son and leave, it'll be because I screwed up. I'm trying to be a good fiancé. Its been a very long time since I was in a relationship. So, I thank you for being patient with me as I have been with you. Without you and our son in my life, I have nothing."

"Awwww, you are so sweet, Throttle. I love you as much as I love our unborn baby boy."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

8p rolled around and everyone showed up for dinner. I had everything about done cooking. Throttle helped out quite a bit. I was very appreciative for the help. I had Throttle go answer the door while I got the plates and silverware on the tables, along with napkins.

First to walk in was Charley and Modo. "Wow Charley-girl, you clean up nice." Then he looked at Modo. "You do too, bro."

Charley noticed that I was in the kitchen. She walked in and asked if there was anything she could help with. I shooed her out and told her to go sit down. "You're a guest, Charley. I'm about done, anyway."

"Modo brought dessert, babe."

"Awesome. Bring it on in here, big fella. Does it need to be refrigerated?"

"Yes, it does. Can I put it in there for you, Michelle?"

"Of course. Then go sit down with Charley. No guest help in the kitchen."

Next ones to walk through the door was Carbine and Rimfire. They both looked nice.

They both sat down on the sofa with Charley and Modo.

The last ones to show up were Vinnie and Harley. Vinnie handed Throttle some roses to give to me. "Naw, bro. Go give them to Michelle."

"Give what to me?"

Vinnie walked into the kitchen and handed me a dozen roses. I was speechless. All I did was hug him. That was very sweet of him to get me roses.

"They're from both Harley and I."

"Thank you, Vincent. They're beautiful. Thank you, Harley."

"You're welcome, Michelle. Is there anything we can help with?"

"Nope. You all just stay out there in the living room and chat amongst yourselves."

Vinnie looked at me. "Actually, can you come sit down with us? Harley and I have some news and I wouldn't want you to get burnt."

I smiled. "Sure Vinnie." I shut down the burners and moved everything over to the cooler burners so everything can cool while we talk.

After I sat down on the arm of the recliner, next to Throttle, Vinnie and Harley stood up and stood next to each other, then looked at all of us.

They looked so serious until Vinnie smiled and held up his right hand. Harley did the same thing. We were all shocked.

"Is that what I think it is, Vinnie?"

"Sure is, Charley-girl. We're going on our honeymoon after the dinner party tonight."

"Um, could you hold off until after Throttle and I get married in Vegas, Vinnie?"

"Is that what this dinner party is about? You need witnesses for your marriage, Mike?"

"Yep. Plus, its nice to have friends for dinner, too."

Charley looked at Modo. "Think we should tell everyone, Modo?"

"Its up to you, Charlene."

"Tell us what, Charley?"

"Modo and I are engaged."

"Congrats uncle Modo."

"Thanks nephew. Don't you be in a hurry to find love, Rimfire. You still have the rest of your life to find love."

"Uhhh…."

Modo glared at his nephew. I stepped in before a yelling match started. "Ok everyone. Let's get to the tables. Honey, give me a hand serving dinner, please?"

"Sure babe." We both walked into the kitchen and grabbed dinner off the stove. I had made a big spaghetti dinner.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

During dinner, I noticed that Carbine was looking at Throttle. "Everything ok, Carbine? You've been staring at Throttle since we all sat down for dinner."

"I had gotten word from Stoker just before I came here with Charley and Modo. I need to speak to you in private, Throttle."

"Ok. We'll go talk in the hallway. Be right back, everyone."

"Throttle, I'm not sure how you're going to take the news, but your parents are alive and Stoker is bringing them here to see you."

"What!? Carbine, you know how abusive my dad was. Hopefully, Stoker didn't tell them about Michelle. You know what's going to happen if my dad finds out that Michelle is Human and having my baby."

"He did tell them about her and your unborn baby. That's why they're coming here to see you. I am so sorry, Throttle. If I had known that Stoker was going to tell them, I wouldn't have said anything."

"I don't blame you, Carbine. I blame Stoker for opening his big mouth. Thanks Carbine. Now I have to tell Michelle the news. She's not going to be happy about this. She knows what my dad was like and what would happen if I had a baby with someone other than another Martian mouse."

"Want me to get her?"

"Yes please. Bring her to our room." Then Throttle walked into our room and sat down on the bed.

Carbine walked back out to the other room. "Is Throttle ok, Carbine? He didn't sound happy about what you told him."

"He's not. He wants to talk to you in your room."

"Thanks. Excuse me, everyone." I got up from the table and walked into our room to talk with Throttle.

When I walked into our room, I saw him sitting on the bed. I didn't like the look on his face.

"What's wrong, babe? You have mixed emotions written on your face."

"Do you remember what I told you about my dad and what he does with half breed babies and what will happen to me?"

"Yeah, I remember that. Why are you asking me this?"

"Carbine just told me that Stoker is bringing my parents here to Earth to see me. He told them about you and our unborn son."

I didn't need him to say anymore. I knew what was going to happen next. I was going to be alone…but this time for good. I dropped to my knees and started crying. Throttle hated to see me cry. He got up from the bed and picked me up from the floor. He sat me down on the bed next to him and held me close.

Vinnie and Modo walked into our room to see if everything was alright. Throttle looked up and saw his friends standing in the doorway.

"Come on in, bros. I have bad news."

"You 2 decided not to get married?"

"I wish that was the bad news, but its not. Modo, do you remember me telling you about how abusive my dad was and his take on half breed kids?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Stoker is bringing my parents here to Earth to see me. They know that Michelle is Human. She hasn't finished her complete transformation. They know that our unborn son could be a half breed. You know what's going to happen next, don't you?"

Vinnie looked lost. "You never told me that Tredz use to abuse you, Throttle."

"I know, Vinnie. I didn't tell you cause if your dad had gotten word, he would have torn my dad apart for harming a child. That's why I only told Modo. His mom treated me like part of the family. She couldn't stand seeing me with bruises and broken arms. I stayed with Modo and his family more than with my own."

"Would Tredz really make you leave her? You just came back to her a month ago, bro."

"I know Modo. Its breaking her heart and mine too. Even as an adult, he made me feel like I was 12. I don't wanna be known as a deadbeat father for not being in my son's life, bros. I don't know what to do."

"Get as far away from here as you both can. I'm not going to see her get so depressed that she do something to harm herself or the baby."

"Where we going to go?"

"California. We'll pack up everything and move to California. You take your bike and I'll take the SUV. I'm not letting you leave me again."

"Babe, my dad used to hunt. He'll hunt my ass down. I've tried to leave home so many times after I had turned 16. He hunted me down and dragged my ass back home by my tail. He's even sabotaged my bike so I couldn't ride away. There's no getting away from him."

"Is that why you were glad to get the order to leave Mars with Vinnie and Modo?"

"Yes. They're the best friends a mouse could have. Modo is 3 yrs. older than me. He always made sure I was protected."

"So, we're screwed then? I have to watch you leave me…leave your unborn son…forever?" Throttle saw tears streaming down my face again.

"Maybe Tredz has changed and he's not like that anymore."

Modo looked at Vinnie. "Not likely, Vinnie. Tredz could end up sending Throttle to the hospital when he gets here. He may even go after Michelle and harm her baby."

"Not while we're here. She's family, bro. She's one of us."

"Thanks guys. I don't want anything to happen to her or our unborn son. Thank you for standing by us."

"We wouldn't be your friends if we didn't. Come on. Let's go back out there and eat that wonderful dinner your girl made."

We all walked back out to the other room and sat down at the tables. None of us said a word. I knew I had to eat, I just wasn't sure if I could, knowing I'm going to never see Throttle again.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

It was 11p when everything was finally washed and put away. Charley and Harley came into the kitchen and asked if I was ok. I looked at them with tears streaming down my face.

"This have anything to do with the news that Throttle got from Carbine?"

All I did was nod my head. I was too upset to speak. "Is it that bad?"

I nodded again.

"This have to do with Throttle's parents coming?"

I nodded once again. Harley knew exactly what was going on. She knew what Throttle's dad was like. Tredz was known for beating his family even out in public.

"Oh god. I'm so sorry, Michelle. I heard about the training that Throttle was forced to do back on Mars. I also heard how hard it was on you for 3 months. Tredz is a bastard mouse that needs to be put in his place or put in prison for life."

Charley looked at Harley strangely. "What am I missing? Throttle was abused as a kid?"

"Yeah, he was. His father was known for beating him and his mother out in public just for the hell of it. Once Throttle was 18, Stoker came and drafted him for the Freedom Fighters and made sure he had a place to stay. One day during training, Tredz came storming in and dragged Throttle back home by his tail. He made sure the other punching bag stayed home. When Stoker had finally had enough, he made the order that Vinnie, Modo and himself snuck Throttle out of his house and onto a ship with their bikes and sent off world."

"I had no idea that Throttle's life was that bad. He seemed to be so carefree after a fight with Limburger and his goon army."

"He's learned to hide those scars for a very long time. Stoker, Modo and I were the only ones who knew how bad he really got it. I'm sure you know about his abuse now, huh?"

"Yeah. If my son ends up being a half breed, his father will try to get rid of it and make Throttle leave me cause I'm still somewhat Human."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A week later, Throttle and I took the SUV over to the garage. We both knew what was going to happen. I still hadn't completely changed into a Martian mouse. My face was still Human, but the rest of my body was near done. I had the mouse ears, and the antennae. My face is what will be the downfall of me losing Throttle.

We were waiting in the loft above the garage when we heard the ship landing behind it. I grabbed a hold of Throttle's hand and squeezed hard. He looked straight into my eyes and saw the fear in them.

Not long after the ship landed, Stoker, Tredz and Silverdawn walked down the ramp and into the garage. There was an awkward silence between Throttle's parents and the other mice. Modo kept Charley away from Throttle's parents. When she looked at him, he just shook his head back and forth. After what she was told last week, she understood why Modo kept her away from them.

"So, where are they? Where is my son and his freak girlfriend?"

I heard what Tredz had called me from up in the loft. I got up from the bed and walked down the stairs. Throttle didn't have time to stop me. Stopping me would not have been a good idea, anyway. Especially, since I was a cage fighter.

"Freak! How dare you! If I wasn't pregnant, I'd be kicking your ass, you rat bastard!"

I was in his face within minutes of reaching the bottom of the stairs. No one stopped me for speaking my mind or for getting dangerously close to Tredz's face.

He was ready to backhand me when Throttle stopped him. "Leave. My. Fiancée. Alone."

With his other hand, he balled it up and sucker punched Throttle square in the face. I was royally pissed for what just happened. I took Tredz's right arm and broke it in several places, then kicked his knees the opposite direction. His kneecaps shattered. He was finding out that he was messing with the wrong woman.

Tredz didn't even try to get up. He was in too much pain. I walked over to Throttle and saw blood all over his face along with some busted teeth and a busted nose. The whole snout was bloodied and broken. I carefully kneeled down and tried to stop the bleeding, but there was too much. "Charley, I need a towel and quick. There's blood all over Throttle's face."

Charley brought over a couple of towels. Throttle was knocked out. I tried rousing him and got a response. He had tried to stand up, but both Charley and I told him not to move.

"What happened? Why is there blood all over my face and your hands, babe?"

"Your father sucker punched you. You have busted teeth and a busted snout. He got a worse beating than you did."

Throttle looked over at where his father is laying on the ground, screaming in pain. Then he looked at me.

"You did that?"

"Yep. You don't hit the man I love and expect me to do nothing. I broke his right arm in several places and shattered both his kneecaps. Its going to be a long time 'til he tries that again."

Silverdawn walked up to us and kneeled down. Then she hugged me. I looked at Throttle strangely. He didn't expect his mom to do that.

"Thank you for putting him in his place. No one has ever stood up to him like that. By doing what you did to him, you helped me get out of that abusive marriage. I had planning on divorcing him, but didn't have the guts to pack up and leave him. Thank you so much, sweetie."

"You're welcome, ma'am. I wasn't about to let him take Throttle from me or from his unborn son."

Throttle looked at his mom. "Your first grandson, mom. Michelle and I had gone to the Dr. earlier this week and he's going to be a full-blooded mouse. Before you ask about the fur on Michelle, let me tell you why she has it. She had very toxic blood and it was making her deathly sick. While we were on vacation, I had noticed that she wasn't looking good. I called 911 and had an ambulance come pick her up. After we got to the hospital, they rushed her inside and immediately started hooking her up to just about everything they could. They took blood samples to find out what was wrong with her. Dr. came back and said that her blood was toxic and killing her. I asked the Dr. to take a blood sample from me and see if its compatible with Martian mouse blood. After 10 mins., he came back and told me that its compatible with Human blood. My blood destroyed all the toxins in her blood but started turning her into a Martian mouse. The blood transfusion from me to her saved her life as well as replaced the Human blood."

She looked at me. "Its all true, ma'am. Your son saved my life. If it wasn't for his quick thinking, I wouldn't be here right now."

"May I ask what you named your son, Throttle?"

"Michelle and I had decided on the name Anthony, but we're going to call him Tony. Its short for Anthony."

"No middle name?"

"We hadn't come up with one yet, mom. We're still working on that."

Carbine brought a chair over and helped me get Throttle into it. Charley called for 2 ambulances. One for Tredz and one for Throttle.
