Life Changing Circumstances

Part 18

Brooklyn was now completely banned from leaving the castle. It made him feel restless that he couldn't go anywhere. Bronx was often left behind for him for company as Hudson was having to go on patrols now to replace him. But there was usually one of the clan that stayed behind with him as well.

The clan would usually have breakfast together before they left the castle. They were trying to make up for lost time after having gotten their Second in Command back. Patrols were usually only an hour or two, depending on situations. Sometimes they were all night too. But Goliath didn't want the clan out too long with Brooklyn in his condition. There could always be a threat out there that could want the red male for what he carried. He even worried about Demona.

Brooklyn was still taking the supplements that Xanatos had gotten from the Illuminati. The hormones were helping to keep the pregnancy going. It seemed odd that he had to take them every night but he did. He also took the prenatal vitamins too.

On his next exam, Brooklyn really wanted to know what he was having. As Sato did the ultrasound, he saw that one was a boy for sure. When he saw nothing on the twin, he stated, "I think the second one is a girl."

Brooklyn smiled. He was beaming. His skin was also shinier than usual too. He felt proud of himself that he was having one of each.

"I really wonder how my turning to stone affects them since they're half human." Brook wondered out loud.

"We could find out. Would you rather it be done now or after birth?" Sato inquired.

Brooklyn panicked at that thought. "After pregnancy. I don't want any more needles put into my stomach." Brooklyn objected.

"That's understandable." Sato declared. "But Brooklyn, I also have an idea for you so that you won't have to take the hormones anymore by putting them in a drink or on food."

"I have to have the hormones to keep this pregnancy going." Brooklyn said.

"I know, but I was thinking more along the lines of putting a hormone implant underneath your skin in one of your arms. It works with women as a birth control device, but I can get one that modifies yours to keep delivering the pregnancy hormones you need. Will you give me your hormones so I can do that?" Sato asked.

Brooklyn had never heard of such a thing. "You're sure it'll work?" he asked cautiously.

"Yes. It delivers hormones on a daily basis slowly. It prevents pregnancy in women, but like I said, yours will be the opposite, to keep the pregnancy steady." Sato explained. "You could take a few out for the next few days and I'll have it ready in a few days."

"It does sound better than taking them daily." Brooklyn agreed. "Okay."

They left the medic ward and got Fox to give him the hormones to give to Dr. Sato. Sato gave Brooklyn some of the hormones for the next few days while he got the new implant ready.

"I'll be back in a few days. Thank you, Brooklyn." Sato said.

"You're welcome." Now Brook could only wait for the new implant. He was a little uncomfortable about this, but it sounded a lot better than having to remember if he would continue to take his supplements every night.

After the exam, a new sonogram was printed off to show to the clan. Brooklyn was glad he was able to see what his twins looked like inside him. Despite the human factor, they both definitely resembled him more than a human. And hopefully just a few more months. They were nowhere near ready to be born yet.

"Well, I'll see you again in a few days, then after, I'll see you again in a month." Sato stated.

"Thanks." Brooklyn said as he left the infirmary. The clan wanted to see the sonogram when he came out. He showed them by holding it up to the light.
