Episode 3
*a few weeks passed as Hecro carried on being the hitman n Ozzie was given desk jobs since he was exempted frm the case. He occasionally went to visit Tonto, who was getting better now, n helped watch ovr Tonto's wife, whose pregnancy was getting close to due*
Thrax; 8had been planning for the move8
*the kids helped out, picking out things they need and/or don't need to bring along for the move*
Thrax; 8helped them with the heavy stuff8
Ozzie: *comes home with pizza after work, since desk jobs allows him to finish up work early* Pizza time, everyone!
Jared: PIZZA~!!! *runs dwn with the trio in his arms*
Thrax; Take it easy Jared.
Trio: *says in unison* Peeja~! Peeja~!
Ozzie: *chuckles* Yes, pizza for everyone. Hey, love *kisses Thrax*
Thrax; Hey sweetie. 8kisses him back8
Ozzie: I just finished my paperwork and accompanied Brittany--Tonto's wife--to the doctors for her chk-up. And since I was there I thought I get a chk up as well
Thrax; How are they/
Ozzie: They're fine. In fact we're right. Sakura is going to have two little sisters to play with
Sakura; 8smiled up at her momma.
Ozzie: There. *patted Sakura's head* Now you don't have to fight with Ozzex for Shane's attention. Speaking of Shane, where is she?
Jared: In the crib, sleeping. She's been that way these few days, crying almost nonstop until she cried herself to sleep. Not even Ozzex's finger can pacify her now
Thrax; She misses her mother.
Ozzie: Yeah. When is his mission gonna end, anyway?
Thrax; Frank knows but I'm hoping some.
Ozzie: I'm getting worried abt him. We're leaving the city anyway, why can't he just tell Leah girl Frank is dying n let the situation handle itself?
Thrax; If he doesn't I will.
Ozzie: Probably as well
Thrax; 8nods8
Ozzie: *felt a double kick* Looks like Jamie and Junko are anxious to be with their sister
Sakura; 8rested her tiny hands on his stomach8
*the twins kicked again*
Sakura; Imoto-chan.
Ozzie: *chuckles* She recognize her little sisters, I see. Btw, Thrax, I nvr understood why u named her Sakura. Are you related to Japanese in someway, love?
Thrax; 8placed his fingers to his forehead8 It's fuzzy but I remember meeting a distant cousin of mine who was a Japanese encephalitis virus.
Ozzie: Ah, that explains it. Though, surprising Sakura can pick up Japanese so easily n quickly
Thrax; She's a smart girl, they all quick of mind.
Ozzie: Yeah. Wouldn't be long until they start walking on their own two feet
Thrax; *sighs* Time flies.
Ozzie: *chuckles* I see u guys have been packing. How's it going?
Jared: Awesome! You wouldn't believe how much garbage we've been keeping n dont need!
Thrax; Jared.
Jared: What? It's the truth *stuff himself wiht anothr pizza*
Ozzie: *laughs* Well, we won't need too much things to bring along where we're going anyway. It could be a long journey
Thrax; Well I'm not leaving these. 8he looked down at the family heirloom box8
Ozzie: And I'm not gonna leave this behind *looks at his photo frame of his great-great-grandpappy in his army uniform*
Thrax; 8smiled then looked over the heirlooms8
Ozzie: I guess we can add something new into the heirloom box of yours
Thrax; Oh/
Ozzie: *took off his mother's necklace he was wearing n put it into the box* There. Now it's our heirloom box. Together
Thrax; 8smiled and took out the flute8
Ozzie: It's beautiful. Whose is it?
Thrax; It has been in my family for generations.
Ozzie: Do you knw how to play it?
Thrax; 8smiled, placing the flute to his lips and played a haunting melody8
Ozzie: *listens to every note, entranced by the haunting beauty of the music*
Sakura; 8starts to sway to the music8
*the rest of the kids followed as well*
Thrax; 8finished the the melody in a long slow note8
Ozzie: That is nice~!
Jared: Yeah, although... *sweatdrops as he pointed at the trio already lulled to sleep*
Thrax; 8chuckles8 It has that affect sometimes.
Ozzie: *chuckles as well n picks them up to sleep together with Shane in the crib*
Thrax; 8cleaned the flute then placed it away8
Shane: *stirs n started whimpering*
Ozzie: *quickly picks her up and out of the crib so that she wouldn't wake the trio*
Thrax; 8hears her8
Jared: Oh great, here we go again *rolls eyes n groan*
Ozzie: There, there, shh shh shh... Ur Auntie Ozzie's here... Shh...
Thrax; 8sighed* Hecro you better finish this fast.
Ozzie: You think maybe I should breastfeed her, just to let her feel a little of her mother's presence? It might calm her dwn
Thrax; You can try.
Jared: Might as well. She doesn't want to take the bottle n even if she did, she doesn't drink much
Ozzie: Shh... There, there, Shane. Are you hungry, girl? Auntie Ozzie will feed u just this once, OK? *undo his shirt n guided Shane's mouth to his nipple* There's a good girl
Shane: *whimpered for a moment before suckling his milk hungrily*
Thrax; 8sighed in relief8
Jared: *groaned in relief* Thank Frank. It usually takes hours before she quiets dwn
Ozzie: *hums a lullaby as Shane continues feeding frm him*
Thrax; You expected babies to be quiet/
Jared: Well, maybe not too quiet, bt I didn't expect Shane to cry for hours. Even the triplets cry only, what? Half an hour at most?
Ozzie: *chuckles* You'll feel differently once u get a kid of ur own, Jared
Thrax; 8smirked8 He's right.
Shane: *was done feeding n abt to droop bk to sleep, bt not before Ozzie burped her*
Ozzie: There u go. There's a good girl, Shane *rocks her to sleep*
*Shane finally falls asleep n Ozzie took her upstairs to the nursery n put her in the crib with the trio, in which the trio instinctively cuddled against their little cousin*
Thrax; 8smiled at the scene8
Ozzie: There. A mother always knws best *closes the door quietly, then help himself to some pizza*
Thax; And you're one of the best.
Jared: *thumbs up* Agreed!
Ozzie: *blushes*
Thrax; 8kissed him softly8
Ozzie: *kissed him bk just as soft*
*a kick was felt again in his belly*
Thrax; 8smiled, resting his hand on Ozzy's stomach8
Ozzie: Jamie and Junko are getting rather fiesty nowadays
Thrax; 8chuckles8 Got your energy.
Ozzie: And your spunk. They seem to like getting started with a football career in me or something
Thrax; Or martiel arts.
Jared: Or both!
Ozzie: *rolls his eyes* Ugh! Frank forbid!
Thrax; 8shrugs8 One could go one way, her sister the other.
Ozzie: *cell phone rang, picks it up* Hello? Yeah, speaking...What?! Where is he?! I'll be right there!
Thrax; What's going on/
Ozzie: That was someone frm the general hospital. Hecro was found at their front door. He's hurt bad. Real bad
Jared: *gasped* Uncle Hecro??
Thrax; Ozzy you're not going alone.
Ozzie: OK. *takes his coat* Jared. Look after your siblings n your cousins. Don't open the door until we're home
Jared: OK, Mommy
Thrax; And keep everthing locked up tight.
Jared: OK Daddy
Ozzie: Let's go, baby *already waiting at the front door*
Thrax; 8grabbed his coat and headed out8
*they drove all the way to the hospital n asked for Hecro's ward. The nurse who called led them to the room where Hecro is*
Thrax; 8had a twisted feeling in his gut8
*Hecro is in the ward being bandaged up real bad. He looked like a train wreck. Heartbeat machine indicated he was stable, bt he was out cold at the moment*
Ozzie: Oh Frank, Hecro... *sat beside him, holding his hand*
Thrax; 8covered his mouth8
Ozzie: What happened to him?
Nurse: Not sure what happened. He was at our front door all of a sudden n all battered and bruised. He's suffered a few major injuries both externally and internally, but at least he would heal frm those with surgery we've scheduled for him tomorrow. Although... *hesitates*
Thrax; Well/
Nurse: *takes a deep breath* Well, we've examined his body to make sure we've chked all injuries and...well *lifts Hecro's hospital gown n showed them a small cell shaped like a ping pong ball in Hecro's middle*
Ozzie: Oh Frank...! *cups his mouth in shock*
Thrax; 8let on a string of Spanish curse words8
Nurse: My guess is that he was raped after being tortured into submission, n judging by the rate of this cell, he's abt a few weeks pregnant. It will be up to him to decide whether he wishes to keep the child or not. Just...stay by his side. He's gonna need it *leaves the room*
Ozzie: N...No wonder we haven't heard word frm him these few weeks n no news of any Melanoma family killings. The Melanoma family's got him... *sobs*
Thrax; 8felt his body surging, his racing8
Ozzie: *remembers the words his reflection kept telling him n understood the purpose* We must finish what he started, love. *brandishes out his tentacle blade on on his wrists* We must put an end to this. Make it the last glorious thing we leave behind this city
Thrax; 8nodded, straightening up and saluted like a soldier8
Ozzie: *kisses Hecro's forehead n took Thrax's hand, heading out of the hospital to do their thing*
Thrax; 8transformered as soon as they were out of range8
