((AUTHOR'S NOTE: SORRY FOR TAKING LONG IN UPDATE THIS, BEEN BUSY WITH SCHOOL OVER THE PAST MONTHS AND ALSO I HAD A TERRIBLE WRITER'S BLOCK :( BUT I'M BACK  AT IT AGAIN WITH UPDATES REGULARY. ENJOY))


After a hectic drive to the hospital, the couple were in the waiting room after checking in with the front desk receptionist all the while Rookie was struggling to breath

"Shhh shhh, oh Rookie; I'm so sorry"-Mascabado said as she stroke his cheek and heard a faint coo from him; her eyes were watering a bit at the sight and tremble a bit

"Babe, babe its alright; we're here on time and-" Cronut said as he was cut off

"Its not FINE, honey; its all MY fault...I shouldn't had slept in...I'm such a bad mother"-they said as she kept rocking the baby back and forth before they got called in by a nurse who gladly took them to Dr Bone's office

"He'll be okay, one minute more late and the poor thing would've been done for"-Dr Bones told the couple once inside as he checked the baby who squirm in the blanket; at the news, Mascabado was gasped and clung to their husband who in return hugged her

"Is he going to be okay, doctor?"-Cronut asked him as he unclogged the baby's airways with a small nasal aspirator causing him to cry loudly

"Well, he'll have to stay in the INDCU for a couple of months if my calculations are correct"-Dr Bones said while dispposed of the nasal waste inside of the aspirator and with those words, Mascabado gasped in shocked

"What? 8 weeks? But we just adopted him, he needs his us"-she said trying to keep her voice from breaking as they got their back patted

"I understand ma'm but your son needs to stay in order to see his process with the cold, considering he is a preemie baby cookie he can develop any side effects that can last for life if not treated"-the boney looking cookie said to them at which she made a small grunt

"But like I said, it can be less if he does a steady recovery and you can visit him, I'm sure he wouldn't like it to be alone either"-he said with a happy expression on his face

This calm the white haired detective a bit while her husband looked concerned about it too. The two looked over at one of the nurses who was putting the baby cookie into into an incubator and conecting him to a series of tubs and wires, it was a hard scene to watch as for them it looked painful on their baby

"Don't worry, he is in good hands"-a male nurse said as he gently patted Rookie's head a bit making him fuss a bit and where they were about to leave, Mascabado remembered something

"Wait, I need to do something, is it okay if I can do it?"-they asked

"Well, visitation hours end in 15 minutes, so go right ahead ma'm"-the head nurse from the INDCU said with a faint smile on their face, with that said, Mascabado walked over to her fussy baby and sat down as she held his hand from the other end

"Sshh, its okay, little guy...mommy is sorry for what happened to you, I'll promise you that me and daddy will protect you...our beautiful boy"-they said while looking at their dostressed son who was squirming in the incubator

She later lean closer as she rubbed his hand and started to hum before she started to softly sing

Close your eyes

Have no fear

The monster's gone

He's on the run, mommy and daddy are here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

She was about to sing the next verse to him when she felt her husband's hand on their shoulder and started to sing alongside them

Before you go to sleep

Say a little prayer

Every day in every way

It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

Rookie was steadly breathing as he heard the voices and was slowly falling asleep with a few coos and a grunt

Out on the ocean

Sailing away

I can hardly wait

To see you come of age

But I guess we'll both just have to be patient

'Cause it's a long way to go

A hard row to hoe

Yes it's a long way to go

But in the meantime

Before you cross the street

Take my hand

Life is what happens to you

While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep

Say a little prayer

Every day in every way

It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

The couple saw their baby cookie already fast asleep and slowly got up before leaving as Madcabado planted a kiss on her hand to give to their baby

Darling, darling, darling

Darling Rookie

Good night, Rookie

See you in the morning
