Brothers

Here is your happy story @V01DC0R3. Yes I know it is short, sorry.

Any day now. Micheal waits anxiously for his son's birth. Micheal sent an invitation to his family to celebrate the newest addition. Mike was disappointed in his family's reaction since he wanted to have somewhat of a reunion with them all. Kate was busy with school but sent him well-wishes and some supplies.

Luci flat out denied the invite and continued with her life. Celeste and Galileo dropped by to congratulate them but had to leave shortly because of Celeste. No one knew where Anubis was, not after he ran from home, so they couldn't contact him.

The day the child was born will be one Mike never forgets. It started off just like any other about-to-give-birth scene, the wife is panicking and yelling in pain, the husband trying to calm her, and being rushed to a doctor. The doctor was already there, so it wasn't too far. Mike was taken out of the room as it happened, but he knew she was in safe hands. As he waited in the throne room, the doors were thrown open. Anubis stands there holding baby supplies and toys. He is clearly out of breath.

"Mike! There you are! I've been looking all over." He manages to heave out.

"Anubis?" Mike holds back a laugh. "I thought we couldn't contact you."

"You couldn't. Space told Wolfie! Just try not to have six kids. It didn't go well for our parents." He laughs lightly, with Mike joining him.

"It's good to see you again. Let's get that stuff to the nursery." Mike says.

Anubis nods as Mike starts leading him to the nursery. As they arrive, Mike opens the door for his brother. Anubis thanks him and sets the supplies down.

"Where is everyone else? I thought they would love to see the kid." Anubis questions.

Mike sighs and rubs the back of his neck.

"Only Galileo and Celeste showed up. They left after congratulating us. Which I'm pretty glad they at least came, unlike Luci, who just denied the invite."

"What about Kate?"

"She was busy with school but said she'd be there for his first birthday."

"Oh, well, can't focus on that now. From what I've heard, your kid will have your attention all to himself."

Mike smiles and chuckles. Anubis hugs Mike and pats his back.

"Congratulations Micheal, you'll make a wonderful father."

Mike hugs back, they never got along, but this may be the start of something they never had.

 For once in their lives, they were brothers.
