Red Project

Part 9

The next night, the doctor and some other men were down there with Vick to make sure that Brooklyn cooperated. He was forced onto his back on the mattress by the men, with the threat of being darted there constantly by the guards.

"Now, just hold still, Brooklyn." The doctor instructed. "This won't hurt a bit."

The doc put some gel on Brooklyn's stomach and the wand and rolled it around on his belly. Brook was still grossed out by the slime on his skin. This time, the screen was shown to the gargoyle. Brooklyn couldn't believe he was seeing what he was.

He was seeing the heads, hands, feet, wings, tail, spine, and the hearts all beating and how big they were. Brooklyn's eyes widened at seeing all this. The hearts were also played for him.

"That's very fast." Brooklyn said.

"I think it's normal." The doc stated. "These are only the first time I'm seeing baby gargoyles."

"But, aren't they in eggs at all? My kind usually are hatched from eggs." Brooklyn declared.

"Really?" The doc had another look and said, "Nope. There doesn't look to be any egg development. These are going to be live births."

This would be a first for his kind. Not hatching from an egg. He would end up being a father sooner than he realized. But then, he realized what he had just thought to himself. He would be a father!

But Brooklyn still didn't feel completely ready for fatherhood yet. He felt like he was too young to be doing this. He didn't even have a mate yet. His kids would need a mother to help him along too.

"How long are your kind pregnant for?" The doc asked.

"Huh? Uh, six months." Brooklyn couldn't help but reply.

"Those fetuses don't look like they're ready to be born anytime soon. Maybe they're born after six months being protected by an eggshell typically, Brooklyn. But with live births, they are carried a lot longer. And if my thinking is correct, the babies might be carried for the equivalent of near a human baby if not longer due to all the extra faster development." The doc explained.

All of this was really scaring Brooklyn. His belly wasn't that swollen, but it was showing it was big enough with this pair of twins inside him. If he was pregnant for that long, it would be next spring before he had them, but he still knew it would have to be open belly surgery to get them out. And even if he did make it home, he wouldn't be able to leave the castle. Right now, though, Brooklyn would have traded anything to go home. He now knew why he had been taken away from his home.

The red male felt so alone. And he was. "But what would you guys do with the babies?" He asked nervously.

"Irene will get one as she wanted. We might keep the other."

"No." Brooklyn said sadly.

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice what we do with the babies. You are just going to be giving them to us." Vick sneered.

"Oh, and maybe while Brooklyn is down, now might be a good chance to get some fluid from those sacs to identify if there are any defects in the babies." The doc suggested.

Brooklyn didn't know what he was talking about. He began to try to squirm to be let up, but the men held him down. "What are you going to do?" he asked nervously.

"Using the ultrasound, we get to poke some needles into your belly and collect some fluid surrounding the fetuses." Vick answered smugly.

"NOOO!" Brooklyn shouted out and that made him struggle more. "LET GO OF ME!"
