Progeny

Chapter 17

The following night, Brooklyn was healed from the wound in his belly. He gladly took the bandage off and Winston gave him and Kat an exam to make sure they were both alright. Brooklyn's stitches had fallen away with the stone skin, so he had no wound in his belly anymore.

Kat had survived her first full night.

Brooklyn was glad to be able to move about again as he pleased, but he was still a little sore from last night. Just that his joints had been so used to the weight of his child. Now it was gone and a little shocked. But now, he was out of bed for sure and feeling like eating. He was ready to have his own first meal again that he wouldn't have to share.

Kat was fed from a bottle tonight first to get her used to it.

"So, are you going to continue breastfeeding her?" Fox asked him.

"I just feel it's a male thing. No. I'm not. It was just for last night to get the antibodies into her." Brook said.

"That's good." she agreed at least.

"Alex is welcome to meet her anytime." he said.

"Thanks. Later on." Fox stated.
.................

At dinner, Brooklyn was happily eating all the food he wanted to. His daughter was sleeping off her formula meal, but for this first official night, he didn't want to let her out of his sight. She was on a blanket in the corner of the dining room. She had a diaper on, from just a human ego thing. Even if she didn't go to the bathroom in it. A hole had even been cut in it for her tail.

Everyone was glad that Brooklyn was having a fast recovery, but then, that's what it was for gargoyles usually. He would still stay in tonight.

Elisa was working tonight, but she called the building to tell him to have fun with the baby tonight.

After dinner, Alex was introduced to the baby girl.

"She so small." Alex stated in his little boy voice.

They all laughed. "Yes, she is. She'll be small for some time." Brooklyn said with a smile.

"When she can play with me?" Alex asked.

"It'll be awhile, big guy." David replied, picking up his son. "A couple of years at least."

"Aww! I want playmate." the boy whined.

"You still have us." Lex smiled.

David handed him to Lex. "Let's go play one of your favorite games." Lex said.

"Alright, Uncle Lexy." Alex laughed.

Lex took Alex to his room where they would play with his toys.

"Brooklyn, you can stay here for tonight. The rest of us are going on patrol." Goliath stated.

"Alright, Goliath." Brooklyn replied.

"Actually, lad, you can have the next full week to stay home and bond with her. And to make sure you fully recover from surgery." Hudson declared.

"Okay. Thanks." the red one replied. "I'm sure I'll be fine in few days though."

"We know, but since you just had Kathryn, you need some more time to bond with her." Angela added.

"We'll be back soon." Goliath said. The rest followed him.

Brooklyn and Lexington were both staying in tonight. Even Bronx was being taken out on patrol with them.

Brooklyn picked up Kat gently and took her into the TV room to watch some television. He would be doing a lot of things with her now. It was so nice to not feel weight inside his stomach anymore. He would now condition himself to lose the baby fat he had on him.
