TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 7-8

*the gang went to The Biotics' home, where the twin girls n Miracle were already there waiting for the news*

Lavinia: *sees Edison come in with the gang n was a little apprehensive*

Thrax; Not a word

Miracle: Is he OK?

Klepta: A little winded, bt he's fine. He'll be staying with us frm now on, I'll take him to my room *guided Edison upstairs*

Thrax; Gonna see if I can get a medical exam for Edison 8took out a spare phone8

Lavinia: Is he reli staying here with us?

Rodeo: Apparently *sighed grudgingly*

Rouge; 8sighs angrily8

Ambrose: Would u rather let Eddie be out there in the streets n maybe give birth alone maybe to a dead baby? Klep wouldnt allow tht

Lavinia: Well, if u put it tht way...

Lativina; 8winced8

Miracle: So wat happened? Wat's the story?

Ozzie: *explained it to Miracle n the girls*

Alexis; 8lay on the ground8

Lavinia: *covered her mouth in shock*

Miracle: So...he reli doesnt hv a...? *gestured into his mouth*

Ozzie: Yup, totally gone

Alexis; 8shudders8

Lavinia: Man, tht's just cruel...evn for Eddie

Lavtina; 8nods8

Miracle: So...u guys r actually OK with...well, u knw, Edison being bk n all? N hving a baby to boot?

8the siblings exchanged looks8

Rodeo: I'm not too happy abt this, bt its for the sake of the spawn, then yeah...

Ambrose: He's been good as gold so far, no attacks on Osbourne wen he clearly had the chance, so yeah, why not?

8the others nod8

Ozzie: Tho I'm curious...Does this mean Klepta will hv to take Eddie as his mate now, with the baby coming n all

Thrax; That's their choice

Ambrose: Yup. Eddie technically isnt blood-related to us, so its pretty legal. N they're gonna hv to be mates, since the baby is gonna need proper parents

Thrax; 8scoffed8

Alexis; 8snarled at the 'proper parents' comment8

Ambrose: *raise a brow* Wat? Did I say something wrong?

Thrax; Proper parents?

Ambrose: Well, the baby needs a mother n father, right? So if they're not mates, how r they gonna raise...

Alexis; A singel person can raise a child

Ambrose: Yeah, bt u think Eddie can take care of the baby on his own? Klepta would not allow tht. N I doubt Eddie would give up the baby to Klepta without a fight

Alexis; 8flexed his claws8 This is the only acception

Lavinia: Ur ovranalysing this, Ambrose. Just let them decide. If Klepta decides to take Eddie as mate either way, we can't stop him. U knw how Klep is wen he set his mind to do things

Rodeo: Ugh, one thing's for sure, I'm not accepting Eddie as my... *shuddered* bro-in-law, not wen he was a crappy brother to begin with

Alexis; And whose fault is that?

Rodeo: *frowned* R u insinuating tht WE turned Eddie crazy? He was fucking kooked out on his own without our help, thank u vry much

Alexis; 8snorts8

Rodeo: Aah~ Its a waste of time arguing this~ Meh~ I'm gonna head off to the arcade. U guys do watever u want~ *went off*

Ambrose: Forgive my bro, he holds a grudge like nobody's business n a little bit hot-headed. Makes me wonder if u n him r reli twins, Rouge

Rouge; In looks but not personality

Klepta: *came dwnstairs* Hey, guys

Ozzie: How's he doing?

Klepta: Calmed dwn a bit, n he's sleeping. I just made a call to our personal physician to chk him out. He'll be here any minute

Thrax; 8nods8

*a few minutes later, the doorbell rang*

Thrax; 8looked through the peephole8

*a yeast bacteria along with a she-germ waved at the peephole, mouthing "I'm the doctor" frm his end*

Thrax; 8opened the door8

Bacteria: Hey, I'm the personal physician for The Biotics. May I knw who's the patient?

Thrax; 8looked at Klepta8

Klepta: *came up to him* Right this way, pls, Doc *led the doc n his assistant upstairs*

Ozzie: *got up to follow behind them, giving Thrax a "Come along" jerk of the head*

Thrax; 8fallowed8

*the doc came in n with the assistant's help, did a full examination on Edison*

Edison: *stirred a little bt was so tired he didnt wake up n let the doc do his thing*

Thrax; 8leaned on the door frame8

Klepta: So how is he?

Doc: Just one question, wat kind of hybrid is he?

Klepta: Eh? Wat do u...

Ozzie: *realized n quickly butt in* Erm, he's half-HIV, doc

Doc: *nods* Well, tht explains how he is able to conceive, since u say he's purely male. Hybrids usually tend to hv 50-50 chances of conception for males, just like cell hybrids do. Frm wat I can see in his pregnancy stage, I'd say he'll be due in 2 mths time

Thrax; 8exchanged looks with ozzy8

Ozzie: *gave him a "I'll explain later" look*

Doc: Well, he's a little malnourished, bt it seems tht the baby is developing fine. Give him something to eat wen he wakes up, n let him eat as much as he likes, he's gonna need the energy for the baby. I'll come again to chk on him in a fortnight's time. N *held out his hand to Klepta* Congratulations

Klepta: *shook it* Thanks *apparently it seems he didnt tell the doc tht Edison was his adopted brother*

Thrax; 8stepped aside8

*the doc left with the assistant, let himself out*

Klepta: Hey, Osbourne. Wat do u mean by him being a hybrid...?

Ozzie: Remember last time wen we tried to rescue Mira frm him? Remember u keep trying to kill him bt he doesnt seem to die? He force-fused himself with a HIV dog, he told us tht, remember? Tht's why I knew...

Alexis; 8sighed8

Klepta; Oh...Right...I remember tht... *lit up* Which reminds me, if tht is the case, where IS his dog? If he's still alive right now, the dog shouldnt be too far away. Aftr all, he'll only die if the dog dies

Thrax; Good questions

Ozzie: Maybe u can help find it, Alex. Since ur better at the scent department

Alexis; I would need it's scent

Ozzie: Well, I would think Eddie has its scent, since he's half-HIV

Alexis; 8nods, taking in a deep wiff from Edison8

Ozzie: Got anything?

*the scent led him eastward*

Alexis; 8took off8

Ozzie: I guess he found the scent. I better send Mira off. The kids might need their mother *goes dwnstairs*

Thrax; 8fallowed8

Miracle: *sees them* Everything alright?

Ozzie: Yeah, Alex needs to settle something. I think u should go home. Polly n Samson might need u, n we need to get bk to our kids as well

Miracle: I'm sure Sakura n the rest can handle themselves just fine

Ozzie: True, bt Olivia still needs a bit of attention frm us. She's still trying to settle in aftr all, n I need to get her ready to be registered to school

Thrax; 8nods8

Miracle: Alright, lets go then

Ozzie: Well, we'll be taking our leave now, sis. Let us knw if there's any news frm Alex, a'ight?

Lavinia: Alright. I'll give Mira a ring

Rouge; Later

*the Roja gang bid The Biotics goodbye*

Rodeo: *just got home wen the gang came out the door*

Ozzie: Hey, Rodeo. U cooled off?

Rodeo: *pouts n looked away* So...How's Eddie?

Thrax; Slightly malnutritioned but in good health

Rodeo: Hmm...N the baby?

Ozzie: Growing nice n strong. U'll be an uncle in 2 mths time

Rodeo: Hnn...

Miracle: *grins* Heh, u do care, evn a little bit

Rodeo: *looked a bit flustered* Sh...Shut it...Bye... *went inside the house*

Thrax; 8smirked8

Ozzie: *chuckles n they all left to their respective homes*
