On the way to the hospital, Throttle and I were discussing baby boy names for Tony's twin brother.
"What about Tyrone?"
Throttle thought about it for a few mins. "I like the name Tyrone. Tyrone Tiberius Thornboy."
"Tiberius? For his middle name? Tony doesn't have a middle name yet."
"What's wrong with Tiberius for Tyrone's middle name?"
"Nothing wrong with it. I like it. How about Tyrell for Tony's middle name? Anthony Tyrell Thornboy has a nice ring to it."
"You're right, it does. My mom is going to spoil them so much. She's always wanted grandchildren. She's going to be ecstatic when she finds out she has 2 grandchildren."

Chicago General. We had just arrived at the hospital. The ambulance driver pulled up, then the other EMT's got out along with Throttle. He watched them haul me and the babies out on the gurney and into the hospital.
They wheeled me and the babies into the hospital and then the maternity ward. The babies were weighed and cleaned up a bit better. One of the nurses came out with 2 pieces of paper. They were the birth certificates for Tony and Tyrone.
"So, what are the names of your adorable babies, ma'am?"
"Anthony Tyrell Thornboy and Tyrone Tiberius Thornboy."
"What is your name, ma'am?"
"My name is Michelle Montana. My fiancé's name is Throttle Thornboy."
The nurse wrote both baby names down on the birth certificates along with our names too. We heard everyone comment on how adorable our babies were, even if they were mice.
I looked at Throttle, who looked at me, and we smiled at each other. We already knew how adorable they were. I noticed that Tony has brown eyes like me and Tyrone has red eyes like his father. Tony has lighter color fur. It was a lighter tan than Throttle. Tyrone has darker fur like me.
While I was hooked up to the monitors, Throttle stepped out so he could make a call to Charley to tell her the good news.

A year has passed since I gave birth to my beautiful twin boys. Charley and Modo got married the same day Throttle and I did. We all went down to California and got married at the Duck Pond. I was glad the Ducks stayed for the wedding and the reception party.
Carbine and Morgan are still dating. So are Rimfire and Turbine, although she legally changed it to Christina now. She gave Morgan the holoform watch back and thanked him for everything he's done for her since bringing her to Earth.
Vinnie and Harley had their baby a few months ago. They had a little girl. Her name is Alicia Marie Van Wham.
Silverdawn loved to buy things for our twins. She really spoiled them on Christmas. She was so happy to see her only child happily married. Silverdawn didn't mind watching the twins while Throttle and Michelle danced.
I couldn't believe that Throttle wanted to dance in ice skates. Apparently, he'd been practicing at the skate rink in Chicago and didn't tell me.
"Are you sure you wanna do that, babe? You've seen the figure skaters, right? They've practiced for years to do what they do."
"I promise I'll be careful."
I smiled. "Ok. As long as you're careful." Then we went dancing on the ice. He was so graceful. I couldn't believe it. We danced to the first song we heard on his bike the day I met him. The Disturbed song, "The Sound of Silence". The newer version, anyway.
Everyone couldn't believe how well Throttle was skating on the ice. I never knew that getting married would ever become a reality until today. I feel like this is a dream that I don't ever want to wake up from.
"This is the 2nd best day of my life. 1st of course was giving birth to our beautiful twin boys. Thank you for making the happiest woman ever, Throttle."
"Thank you for making my dream come true. I had dreamed of this day for a long time and now it's a reality. I love you dearly, Michelle Thornboy."
"I love you more, my dear, loving husband." %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
After the wedding reception party, Wildwing asked us if we wanted to stay and watch the game tonight. I looked at everyone to see what they thought about watching a hockey game up close.
"We don't need to be back in Chicago for at least 2 weeks. Sure, why not. Sounds fun."
Wildwing skated up to Throttle and I and asked me if I could take Nosedive's spot for tonight.
"Is Dive ok, Wing?"
"He got a job working at that comic book shop and he couldn't get out of it tonight in time for the game. He knew everyone was coming and he wanted to be here to see you get married. He looks up to you, Michelle. He thinks of you as a sister."
"Really? That's awesome. I think of him as a little brother, as well. I am sorry he can't make it to the game tonight."
I looked at Throttle. "Mind if I play tonight, Throttle?"
"Whip some tail on the ice tonight, beautiful."
I hugged him then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks sweetheart. I love you."
"I love you too, Michelle."

Later in the day. It was an hour and a half 'til game time. Everyone sat in the stands. They didn't care if people stared at them.
The Ducks and I were getting ready for the game and getting pumped to play. It was nice to play with them again. I was also surprised that Throttle let me play tonight, too. I mean, it is our wedding night and all.
I couldn't wait 'til after the game to get my hooks into him. He has no idea how savage I can be in bed. I was looking forward to a wild night after the game.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
After the game, I changed and met everyone by the rink. They couldn't believe what a good hockey player I am. Charley never knew I played professional hockey.
"How did you like the game?"
"Its brutal. How can you take a hit like that and still be standing? That would have knocked even Modo down."
"I doubt a hit like that could take him down, Charley. He's a tough mouse. He could take it. Vinnie not so much."
Harley tried not to laugh. She knew it was true. He is a whiner.
Vinnie looked at his wife and noticed that she was trying to suppress a laugh but was failing miserably. "Really Harley? You're going to laugh at my pain? What happened to standing by your mouse?"
Harley looked at Vinnie and burst out laughing. He looked at everyone else. He noticed that everyone was laughing. About the only ones not laughing were Rimfire, Christina and Morgan. They had no idea what Vinnie is like when he gets hurt or doesn't get his way.
After everyone sobered up a bit from all the laughing, I walked up to Vinnie and apologized for laughing at him. "Most of us know how you are, Vin. You can be a big cry baby when you're hurt. You can't be that way now. You have a family. You don't get to be the "baby" anymore."
Throttle walked up to us. "Michelle is right, bro. You have to be the adult now and help your wife raise your daughter."
Vinnie looked at Harley and smiled. She walked up to him with her daughter in her arms and gave Vinnie a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you, Vincent. Nothing will ever change that, either."
"I love you too, Harley. I have 2 beautiful women in my life. I'm a very lucky guy to have you, Harley." Then he kissed her on the cheek.
We heard someone clear their throat to get our attention. We looked and noticed it was Morgan.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like to get something to eat and find a place to stay while here in California."
I looked at Throttle, who looked at me and smiled. "Should we tell them, honey?"
"I don't see why not."
Charley looked at me funny. "Tell us what, Mike?"
"Throttle and I already made arrangements at the Best Western where him and I stayed. With my military discount, we got a good deal for everyone. The manager gave us our room from last time and we got it free cause we had to cut our vacay short."
While I was talking, Throttle whispered something in my ear. My eyes widened in shock. I looked at him with that shocked look.
"Seriously? Right now? Where do you plan to do it?"
"When we get to the motel." Then he looked to his mom. "Would you mind taking care of the kids, mom? The adults need their time together."
"I don't mind at all, sweetie. You and your new wife deserve to have all the fun you want, Throttle. I'm just glad you're happy."
Throttle hugged his mom, then gave her a kiss on her cheek. "I'm very happy, mom. Michelle is so wonderful to me. She gave me 2 beautiful twin boys. I feel like I'm on top of the world when I'm with her."
I kissed him on the cheek. "I feel the same when I'm with you too, sweetheart."
Before we left, I heard something high pitched. It sounded like it came from Charley's phone.
"You got some kind of high pitch dog whistle in your pocket, Charley?"
She looked at me funny. I pointed to her pocket. She pulled her cell phone out and saw something that she didn't need at the moment. She groaned in irritation.
"Something wrong, Charlene?"
She looked at Modo and nodded. Then she showed him the video on her phone. He didn't look happy, either. He grabbed her phone and showed Throttle and I.
"Please tell me that's not who I think it is."
"It sure looks like it, babe." Then he looked at Charley. "What are they doing there?"
"No clue, but I'm glad I had Modo install the security cameras 6 months ago."
"Is that live right now, Charley?"
She looked at me. "Yeah, it is, why?"
"Just wondering. Let's see what they're doing or what they're looking for."
"What they don't know is that the police have already been notified. It has a silent alarm too. We're going to watch them get arrested for breaking and entering as well as trespassing. Aren't security cameras great?"
"Yes, they are. Maybe its something to look into, Throttle." I looked at him.
"I would feel safer with an alarm at home. Especially with the little ones."

Chicago. Last Chance Garage. Stoker and Tredz were still looking around the garage. They checked the loft above the garage. No one in sight.
"There's one other place we can check, Tredz. Don't worry. You'll take your family home."
"You better hope I do, Stoker. I'm tired of being thwarted by that hybrid freak of my son's. If she's had her baby, I'm taking that, too."
Stoker was going to say something to that, but thought better of it. He knows that getting between a mother and her baby is a bad idea.
By the time they were heading out of the garage, the police had arrived.
"Stop right there. You're under arrest for breaking and entering and trespassing. Put your hands in the air."
Stoker and Tredz looked at each other then at the police. They decided to do as they were told just so they won't get shot or tasered.
The police handcuffed them and put them in different cars. They didn't want them in the same cars.

California. Everyone had just arrived at the motel. I went in and grabbed all the keys for the rooms, then headed back to the room Throttle and I were staying in last time we were here.
I noticed that Charley had gotten a call from someone.
"Who called Charley?"
"CPD. They arrested Stoker and my father. They claim that we invited them."
"I highly doubt I would invite that pussy and abuser. I also highly doubt Charley would invite them, either."
Charley just got off the phone with CPD. "So?"
"They released them. They didn't go there to steal anything, so B & E charge was dropped."
"So, they get a slap on the wrist for B & E? Really? What about the trespassing or that get dropped too?"
All Charley did was nod. I was pissed. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"So, they're free to hunt Throttle down and do whatever they want with him? It seems that CPD isn't doing their job. Guess I have to do it for them."
"Whoa. That's not happening."
I looked at Throttle. He saw the rage in my eyes. "Its not happening, Michelle. Good fighter or not, I'm not going to let you get hurt or, Mars forbid, get killed."
I gave him the keys to the rooms, then walked away. I was livid and he knew it. He asked his mom to talk to me. He took his boys and watched his mom go after me.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
2 blocks from the motel. I couldn't believe that Throttle told me I couldn't go after Stoker and Tredz. It made me madder every time I thought about it.
"Michelle, sweetie. Can you stop please?"
I stopped and turned around. I noticed that Silverdawn had followed me.
"No disrespect Silverdawn, but I don't wanna talk. I just need time to cool off."
"I understand you're upset at your husband. Throttle can be…pig headed at times. Don't get me wrong. I love my son, but when he's being like this, he doesn't think clearly. I understand that he's trying to keep you safe, but he's also keeping you from keeping your family safe. You need to do what's right to keep your family safe. I've never believed in sending a half breed child away. That was Tredz. I could never be that cruel. If you had still be Human and your beautiful boys had been born Human, I would still love them. They are my grandchildren." I hugged Silverdawn.
"Thank you. I know what I need to do now. I know Throttle won't like it, either, but I must protect my family no matter the cost. Tell him I'll be back as soon as I can. Please help him take care of the boys while I'm gone." Then I hugged her one last time before I left.

The Duck Pond in Anaheim. They couldn't believe what I had planned on doing. "Are you out of your mind, Mike? Your husband is going to throw a fit when he finds out what you're going to do."
"I know that, Wing, but I need to protect my family at all costs."
"Then let us help you. You helped us last time you were here, so let us return the favor."
I smiled and nodded. "Thank you. At least you won't stop me from doing what's right in order to protect my family."
"I understand what you need to do. I'd do the same thing if my baby brother was in danger." Wildwing looked at his brother when he said that.
"Thanks big bro. I'd also do the same thing for you, too." Nosedive looked at his big brother in the same way. Very loving. He loved his big brother and would do anything and everything to protect him.
