Chapter 3: hospital visits and adoptions
After 4 hours of rearranging bones loden and zenith sit in alex's room as the nurses roll alex in on his bed "well i can say for sure he is going to pull through" the jigglypuff doctor making zenith and loden sigh in relief, "well i know he has quite the bounty on his head" the doctor says, "it isn't the money we want" zenith says putting a hand on alex's head and smiling when the boys head automatically but weakly nuzzles into her warmth, "well i am genuinely shocked you two are part time bounty hunters and not just that but the best bounty hunters" the doctor says, "we want a baby" loden says standing by zenith and smiling down at alex "by the way where is his stuff?" loden asks, "well it's locked up why you ask?" the doctor asks, "well whilst he was in the theater i called the HAA and said when it comes to his adoption he will not leave our care" loden says looking down at the jigglypuff, "very well would you like me to bring it up?" the doctor asks, "yes please" loden says letting the doctor waddle off, "honey by the looks of his condition he should be ready to come home with us in a week" zenith says as she straps alex's wrists belly and ankles to the bed, "what's with the restraints?" loden asks "well he might try to run and he is not in a state to be moving" zenith replies, "where's the fun in that" loden smiles he always wanted alex to be his son ever since he met the boy 14 years ago, this made zenith look at loden with the 'wife' look.
Alex begin to stir in bed after a while as zenith and loden were signing some forms, "what the fuck happened my fucking head" alex says groaning and tries to lift his arm and gasps slightly panicked, "woah woah calm down sweety" zenith says stroking alex's hair, "FUCK YOU JUST SPOKE!" alex yells "hey there sport just calm down the doctor gave you some special medicine to help you understand us, now you need rest" loden says brushing a clawed hand by alex's cheek as a HAA representative walks into the room, "ah i see alex is awake" the pikachu female says and walks to the other side of alex's bed and reaching a hand over alex to shake zeniths and ledons hands, "i am sofia sparks' sofia says before looking down at alex and smiling "well hello alex i think you remember your old pokemon, you will not believe to what extents they went to find you", "extents?" alex asks confused "those bounty hunters that were chasing you sweety was us, and we are both so proud of you putting up a fight like that you are just as strong as we remember" zenith says planting a kiss on alex's forehead making alex blush, "what is going on anyway? I remember being hit by a bus but now i am here" alex asks, "well you were hurt so i brought you here to heal zenith is a very good nurse, and like you ordered us to we are keeping you safe and so we are doing just that, we are adopting you" loden says, "adopted? But i am 19 i am an adult" alex says curious, "i think i can help you here" sofia says "after the revolution we didn't kill any humans we allowed pokemon families to adopt humans and they are legally classed as children they can get treated like the little babies they are all day long" sofia says sounds like it was a dream come true, "what" alex says confused, "sweety we do want to keep you safe and we won't do any of the baby stuff if you don't want to but i have some bad news" zenith says, "well shit" alex says, "and that potty mouth needs some work" loden says folding his arms and attempting a dad stare, "well you see alex the doctors found out one of your previous injuries was becoming infected so you no longer have a left leg from below the knee" zenith says bluntly, alex processed this info before zenith undid the straps holding alex down so alex could see, all the colour from alex's face went when he tried to cross his legs but couldn't feel anything below the knee of his left leg, "oh it's ok sweety" zenith says wiping away a tear that appears on alex's face, "well i have seen enough" sofia says collecting the now completed forms that zenith and ledon was signing, "it's clear you two really do care and are capable of taking care of him" sofia says, this made the three bounty hunters confused, "what?" all three said and sofia looks back lovingly "well the bounty that was on his head was transferred to your account so i say you have plenty of money" sofia says with a giggle and leaving the now family of bounty hunters alone, "well you remember our other children" loden asks alex, "oh you mean alfred and phil?" alex says "let me guess they are bounty hunters too", "well our entire family is only bounty hunters part time" loden says "i run the biggest tech company in pokeland", "and i run a mental hospital" zenith says smiling lovingly at alex, "zenith you know how much i hate mental hospitals" alex says with a shiver, zenith just sighs and continues to stroke alex's hair "yea but if you ended up in it you would be treated like royalty and i hope you can grow to call me your mummy at some point" zenith says, "well you seem to love to act like you are my mum" alex says yawning, "well i guess it is time a certain hatchling gets some rest" loden says then noticing alex wasn't settling down "alex whats wrong?", "i need shar shar" alex says hating himself for using the shorthand name he used for his stuffed toy, "oh you kept it well don't worry sweetheart mummy will help you sleep whilst daddy goes and gets your toy" zenith said, "ok" alex says giving loden the co-ordinates to his hideout and watches the charizard he now has to call dad fly out the window and speed towards the bunker.
