Episode 6
8Julius and Hecro quickly got ozzy to hospital8
Ozzie: No...No...My baby...
Julius; Easy now we got ya. 8he carried ozzy inside8
Hecro: Is there a doctor in the house? Hello??
Doc: 8ran over8 What's the problem/
Hecro: I dunno. Our bro, he's pregnant, bt he's suddenly bleeding
Doc; Set him on the bed. 8presses a button and alerted a few staff8
Ozzie: *starts crying, the pain reli hurt him*
*a few midwives came ovr to chk him*
Julius; Easy now ozzy.
Midwife: Pls wait outside. We'll handle him
Hecro: C'mon
Julius; 8fallowed Hecro8
*abt an hour later, the midwives came out*
Julius; 8shot up8
Hecro: How's my brother?
Midwife: He's stabilized now. We have to put him in the incubator to keep him tht way. Tell me, has he tried to abort the child?
Hecro: Well...yes, bt his husband came n stop him in time
Julius; 8softly8 Thankfully.
Midwife: Unfortunately not soon enough. To abort a fetus tht is still in cell stage, two meds have to be administered: One to destroy the fetus, which is taken orally via liquid medicine n one to induce contraction, which is injected into womb. My guess is whoever treated ur brother must've injected the contraction solution first before giving him the oral medicine
Julius; 8gasped8
Hecro: Oh Hector...
Midwife: Without the oral medicine, the contraction medicine will not react immediately, bt it's still in his system n just decided to react now. We have helped him expel the medicine frm his system, bt his fetus is too traumatized to grow properly, so we had to put him in the incubator to stabilize his body so tht the baby will grow normally.
Julius; For how long/
Midwife: Sad to say tht he will have to stay in the incubator throughout the rest of his pregnancy
Hecro: *massaged his temples*
Julius; 8bit his lip8
Midwife: I also have another bad news for u
Hecro: *trembled* Wh...Wht is it?
Julius; wHAT/
Midwife: THe contraction medicine has damaged his womb beyond repair. Once the pregnancy is ovr n the baby is safely born, we will have no choice bt to remove the womb altogether...He will no longer have children in the future
Hecro: *covered his mouth in shock*
Julius; 8sighs8 Oh Hector.
Hecro: P...Poor Oz... *cries*
Julius; 8holds him close8
Midwife: U may see him. He is at the ICU section, third room to ur right. He doesn't knw abt his condition yet, so...try to break it to him slowly
Julius; 8nodded and lead Hecro away8
Ozzie: *is in the ICU, sleeping in an incubator tht looks almost like the shape of a space pod*
Hecro: *enters the ward n comes close to the incubator, placing a hand on the glass*
Julius; 8came up behind him8
Ozzie: *slowly stirs* Mmh... *sees Hecro n Julius* Wh...Wht is this...? Why am I in here?
Julius; 8gulped8
Hecro: Easy, Oz. It's to keep u n the baby's safe
Ozzie: The baby! Is...Is my baby alright?!
Julius; It will if you complete this treatment.
Ozzie: W...Wht's wrong with my baby...?
Hecro: *tells him abt the midwife's theory*
Ozzie: Oh Hector...Oh Hector... *covers his face with his hands, sobbing*
Ju;ius; Easy now Ozzy.
Hecro: Umm...There's also something u need to knw too, Oz
Ozzie: Wh..Wht is it...?
Hecro: *wanted to say, bt then leaned bk n gave Julius a "You tell him" look*
Julius; 8sighed and told him, gently explained the situation8
Ozzie: *shocked, his eyes widened with tears* I...I...No...No... *sobs even harder* Oh Hector...It's all my fault...
Julius; |t's not Ozzy.
Ozzie: It is! I almost killed our baby! Now I can no longer give Thrax anymore children! It is my fault!!
Hecro: Easy, easy, Oz. U need to calm dwn, for the sake of the baby
Julius; You need your rest.
Ozzie: Oh Hector...Wht will Thrax think of me...? He will hate me...
Julius; He won't.
Hecro: Rest up now, OK, bro? We'll come see u tomorrow
Ozzie: *rests his arm on his teary eyes, not replying*
Julius; 8drew back8
Hecro: *whispers to Julius* Let's go
Julius; 8nods and quietly lift8
Ozzie: *lies on one side n cries*
*the duo returned home*
8Leah, Drix and Maximus had come over8
Takashi: Mo...Wht's taking them so long~?
Dieter: Patience, mein brother. They'll be home soon
Ricardo: I wonder if Oz n the baby is alright
Leah; Let's hope.
*Hecro n Julius soon returned, looking rathe grave*
Leah; 8swalloweed8
Takashi: Ne, ne, Hecro-san? Julies oni-sama? How's Ozzie-chan? Wht did the docs say??
Julius; 8turned away8
Hecro: *sighed n told them everything*
Leah; 8covered her mouth8
Alexis; 8bit his lip hard8
Antonio; 8placed his head in his hands8
Maximus; 8went pale8
Drix: Good gracious! *face-palm*
Ricardo: Santa Madre of Hector!
Takashi: NANI~?!
Dieter: *shook his head in dismay*
Julius; 8hung his head8
Hecro: Yeah. Now the problem is how are we gonna tell this to Thrax, especially in his condition?
Takashi: Da...Dame yo, Hecro-san! Thrax ottota-chan shouldn't knw!
Julius; He has a right to.
Dieter: Bt wht if it further complicates his health?
Takashi: Hai, hai, wht if Thrax ottota-chan gets evn sicker aftr hearing this?
Antonio; Back you guys you think Julius wants to do it/
Takashi: Moh... *steps bk n frowns in a pout*
Ricardo: Who's gonna tell him then?
Leah: Vho vill/
Hecro: *sigh* I'll tell him. *goes upstairs n enters the room*
Thrax; 8was sitting by the window, he looked terrible8
Hecro: Um...Thrax...? U...U OK?
Thrax; 8looked up with dazed, bloodshot eyes8
Hecro: Umm, you should be in bed, Thrax. U should be resting. Dang, u look awful
Thrax; 8turned back to the window8 Worried.
Hecro: C'mon * helps Thrax onto the bed* We need to talk
Thrax; 8looked up8
Hecro: Something...happened to Ozzie n the baby
Thrax; Wha-what happened/
Hecro: *sighs n told him gently everything tht he had told the others, including the part where he wont have kids anymore bcoz of his womb*
Thrax; 8got rather histaric8
Hecro: Easy, easy, Thrax
Thrax; Should have went soon- was too late. 8shook violently then passed out8
Hecro: Oh spit...Jules?! Jules, help!! Somebody!
Julius; 8ran in8 What happened/
Hecro: I...I told him abt Oz, n...n he just shook n passed out...
Takashi: I told u we shouldn't tell Thrax ottota-chan! Julius oni-sama no baka!
Julius; Knock it off you two.
Dieter: Oh my, wht should we do now?
Julius; Let him rest for now.
Hecro: Alright *pulls the covers ovr Thrax n walks out of the room*
Julius; 8sat next to Thrax8
Hecro: *sighs n massaged his temples*
Julius; 8stroked Thrax's hair and hummed to him8
Hecro: Poor Oz. Poor Thrax. And just aftr his wedding day
Drix: I knw. It's kinda sad
Leah; Talk about bad timing.
Takashi: Ne...Do u think its coz of them having sex on their wedding night tht triggered the medication?
Ricardo: Dont be silly. The meds would come to effect either way
Dieter: Dont make it vorse than it is for Thrax's conscience, mein foolish brother
Antonio; That's the last thing he needs8
Takashi: Gomenasai...
Hecro: Oz is reli upset right now, n so will Thrax once he wakes up. Oz thinks Thrax will hate him
Drix: You think maybe they should see each other?
Alexis; Who knows.
Ricardo: If it'll ease each other's pain, why not?
Antonio; No telling how they'll react.
Hecro: Then maybe we should give him the heads-up, calm him dwn a little before letting them meet each other
Drix: Yes, i think it's a best bet
Leah; 8bit her lyp8
Ricardo: Is he awake now?
Hecro: I'll go chk *goes upstairs*
Julius; 8was still with Thrax, stroking his dreads and humming to him8
Hecro: *whisper* Is he awake?
Julius; 8shook his head8
Hecro: Poor Thrax. He's gonna have to bear with not being with Oz for 5 mths because of he cant leave the incubator
Julius; 8nods8 And in this state he's in he can't look after the kids.
Hecro: I guess we'll have to take ovr for a while
Julius; 8nods8
Hecro: So...we were thinking of having them meet to talk it out, ease each other's pain. Wht do u say?
Julius; I'm not sure it'll help.
Hecro: But Oz needs Thrax so tht he'll knw Thrax does not hate him, n Thrax needs Oz as well so tht he'll knw it's not his fault
Julius; Can it help/
Hecro: Better than have them separated n do nothing
Julius; 8bit his lip8
Hecro: Wht do u say? Shall we give it a shot?
Julius; You do what you want.
Hecro: But I need your blessing for it. Thrax is ur brother, after all
Julius; Don't you think I know that, seeing him like this is killing me.
Hecro: Alright. Then we'll take him there first thing tomorrow
Julius; 8nods8
Hecro: I just hope we're doing the right thing
Julius; Me too.
*the next morning, Hecro brought a wheelchair for Thrax to go visit Ozzie at the hospital*
Julius; 8gently helped his dazed brother into it8
Takashi: Ne...Julius onii-sama, can I come along?
Julius; He needs this.
Takashi: Aww, does tht mean I can't come?
Antonio; Don't be selfish.
Takashi: Hai, hai *gloom*
Hecro: You'll visit him next time, Taka. Right now, it's Thrax n Oz's moment
8Rory and Sakura came in riding Griffon and Sapphire8

Takashi: *cuddles the kids close to comfort them*
Julius; Coming. 8wheels Thrax out8

*soon they reached the hospital, in which they helped Thrax to his wheelchair n wheeled him towards ICU where Oz is*

Hecro: Hey, Oz. Look who I brought

Thrax; Never.
Ozzie: I...I will nvr have children again...I cannot give u heirs anymore...
Thrax; I don't care, long as you're safe.
Ozzie: U...Ur not mad at me...?
Thrax; 8shook his head8
Ozzie: *sobs, leaning his forehead against the glass, desperately wanting Thrax to hold him*
Thrax; 8wishes he could comfort him8
Ozzie: I hate this...this thing! I wanna hold u, I wanna have u in my arms! *slams his fist at the glass* I hate this fucking thing!
Thrax; But it's want's saving our baby.
Ozzie: I knw...bt...bt...I just wanna hold u n be in ur arms! I wanna be with u! Fuck this damn thing!! *slams his fist again at the glass before falling bk dwn, covering his face with his hands n sobbed evn harder*
Thrax; 8reated against the capsule8
Ozzie: The docs said I can't leave this thing. They said I can nvr set foot out of this capsule until our baby is born. I...I dont think I can hold out tht long...
Thrax; Ozzy.
Ozzie: Thrax, regardless of our baby's gender, I want to name it 'Hope'. He/She will be our hope tht it'll survive
Thrax; Hope is mainly a girl's name.
Ozzie: I knw, bt I don't care. I want him/her to be named Hope. He/She is our hope, Thrax, our only hope
Thrax; 8rested his head on the glass8
Ozzie: U will be there for me, will u? Wen Hope is born?

Thrax; A little.
Ozzie: You should be resting at home, love
Thrax; Needed to see you.
