Life Changing Circumstances

Part 14

A week later, Brooklyn was at his 20th week mark in the pregnancy.

On one night, Brooklyn was out watching a concert. The loud music was really fun to listen to, but it didn't seem that way for his babies. They had been quiet for a good while but had acted up inside him when there were jolts in the music. Their movements were a little more forceful and when it hurt him a bit more, Brooklyn had to force himself to leave.

He then went to a movie theater instead. He watched a movie about a special little kid. He couldn't help but smile at the antics of the family and everything. It was just plain comedy. Brook tried to keep his giggling soft, to not upset the twins further. He had also had popcorn while watching.

Brooklyn knew that if he had been home and the clan had been accepting of his pregnancy, likely he wouldn't be out here having fun right now. He knew he really should be in a safe place, not gallivanting around. But then, he had no mate to order him around and his kids wouldn't be born for a while yet. He just wanted to have fun while he could. At least while the babies were still lighter inside him.

After the movie, he went back to Robbins' house.

Brooklyn told Robbins he was going out every time he went out. The man heard him come in. "Brooklyn, don't you think it's time that you stop going out with your condition? It wouldn't be good for you to be caught." Robbins explained.

"I know, and I am careful out there. I just get a little restless here and have to go out and have some fun. I'm going to be a parent soon and then my focus will be on the twins a lot more. I just want to have fun while I can." Brook explained.

"Have you thought of any names?" Robbins asked.

"No, not yet."

"When do you see the doctor again?"

"Next week." Brook replied. "But it might be the last time I go to the hospital for my exam. My belly is getting too big to be able to fit through the window anymore."

"At five months, I can understand why." Robbins declared.

They sat and talked for a while before dawn. Gilly the dog sat next to him and placed her muzzle near his belly. Brook petted her head. He missed Bronx.

The next week, Brooklyn went back to the hospital for another exam.

The twins were looking really big and looked a lot like their father. Brooklyn smiled at seeing them and hearing their hearts on the ultrasound.

Dr. Sato was glad Brooklyn was looking after them so well. He gave him a fresh sonogram to take home afterward.

This was the last time he was coming here. Next time, Sato would like to examine him back at the castle. He had offered encouragement for him to go home and talk to the others. Brook was still sad about that and said he would soon.

Brooklyn soon left the hospital. But he didn't know he had been spotted.

The humans who had been staking out the hospital waiting for him to return saw him and were revving up to recapture their quarry. They followed.

..............

Brooklyn soon landed on another rooftop to get a look at his twins. It was a little hard to see them in the dark. Then a voice that he didn't want to hear came out of nowhere, sneaking up on him.

"Hello, Brooklyn." It was a female voice.

It made the red male jump, and he tucked the sonogram picture into his belt. "Demona!" He snapped fiercely but didn't attack her. He put his wings in front of himself.
