Jurassic World: A New Terror

3 [Jurassic Uh-Oh Revealed]

"Ready to meet your kids?" Claire jokes. I nod and step into the hatchery. Going over to the nest marked Pterodactyls in big letters, I see the eggs already starting to break open.

"Can I help them?" I ask Claire.

"Go ahead but be sure to let them do most of the work." she muses as she watches from outside the glass.

I watch as one is already peeking its little head out, screeching noisily. There are a total of two out of five eggs that end up making it a while later. Oh scratch that, three.

I smirk as an egg jiggles around, unable to break the shell. I gently pull off the top and its beak pokes out, squawking the loudest out of all of them.

" I think I'm going to call you Screech," I hold my hands over my ears as it lets out a bloodcurdling wail.

The other two I end up naming Feather and Hedwig. I talk to them and they cling to my hands, hanging down like bats every so often.

After hours of getting to know my 'kids' Claire gets me to come out and oversee their new habitat.

"They will be so-" I break off as Claire's radio crackles.

"Hello? Lowery, what's up?"

"Get your butt down to the lab now, we've got an emergency!" Lowery answers, static making it hard to hear.

"I'll be right there!" Claire says into the radio. "You're coming with me okay. In the car fast," she orders me. I jump in and Claire speeds off to the genetics lab.

"Why'd you bring Ocean? And Mitchell? They shouldn't be hearing this!" Lowery whispers to Claire when we arrive.

"I heard that you know," I whisper loudly making Lowery smile guiltily.

"Hey I came on my own!" Mitchell holds his hands up innocently.

"It's fine, they'll live. It's not that big of a deal is it?" Claire looks nervous as we power walk down the hallway and into the pure white lab.

"Dr. Halen, what is going on?" Claire asks the lead genetics scientist.

"You remember that dinosaur InGen mentioned when we finally got this place running? Well, they had Dr. Wu over on the mainland create a new dinosaur," Dr. Halen suddenly became interested with the tile patterns on the floor.

"What does that have to do with us?" Lowery and Claire question at the same time.

"InGen has sent the egg over here and now it is currently hatching over there." the scientist points to a nest with an egg that is shaking.

"How the hell did that get on the island?!" Claire shouts. I cringe and so does the scientist.

"The box it came in was just labeled to go to the lab; I think one of the interns must have brought it in!" she stutters with a worried look on her face.

"Okay, everything will be okay. Just remain calm and we will fix this, right Lowery?" Claire takes in a deep breath, allowing the scientist to relax a little.

"Of c-c-course C-Claire." Lowery smiles uneasily and is probably thinking he's going to be served on a silver platter to the dinosaur in that egg if he does something wrong.

"What type of dinosaur is it?" Mitchell watches as a claw pierces through the shell.

"We don't know but we're suspecting it's a carnivore." Dr. Halen follows Mitchell's gaze.

"Why would you think that?" I wonder, staring at Claire as she paces the room while on the phone with Owen.

"Because the box also said it's called the Archeonythormakus. That can be referred to as the Triminus Rex." the scientist mumbles.

Claire stops and takes one look at the egg, then drops to the floor.

"Oh my god! Mom!" Mitchell rushes over.

"It's okay, she only fainted." Dr. Halen tells us before calling the infirmary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"YOU WHAT?!" Owen roars at Dr. Halen as he waits outside with Mitchell and I. Claire is inside the infirmary, recovering from her sudden faint.

"Sir, I-I-I... It wasn't me! It was InGen!" Dr. Halen cowers before Mitchell's father. That statement only makes him fume more.

"Dad, it'll be ok!" Mitchell stands to comfort Owen.

"Sit down!" Owen orders, giving his son a hard glare. Mitchell sits down shakily next to me and I inch closer to him.

"I've never seen him this angry," Mitchell whispers. I turn my head when the door to Claire's room opens and the doctor steps out.

"She's fine, no concussion or anything she just needs some air. I advise you get her in bed to rest for a while and make sure she gets hydrated." the doctor instructs and leaves us.

While Owen takes Claire back to their house, Mitchell drives me to mine. He's about to go out the door when I call him back.

"Mitchell, wait! You an stay if you like," I say while blushing in the process. It gets a smile on his face and he comes back in, shutting the door.

He plops on the couch in between Ptero and I, earning a lick on the face from Ptero. He laughs and nudges the dog down.

"Your Dad's not mad at you, you know that right?" I tell Mitchell once he's settled with Ptero.

He looks out the window at the lab that is quite a distance away but still visible from here.

"I don't know Ocean. It feels like he's blaming me for all of this and he's just so angry, I don't know how to respond," Mitchell confesses. I get closer to him until we're almost touching.

"Hey, it's okay. He'll understand soon and it'll be over. Don't worry, I've got your back," I comfort him.

"Thanks." he whispers.

"For what?"

"For not teasing me when I'm a guy and I'm breaking down, a half step from crying,"

"It happens to everyone. It just proves you have feelings."

"Is that a good thing?"

"If a guy has feelings, that usually means they are brave enough to face their problems. Works with anybody really."

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

And with that, I end up falling asleep on the couch, my head on Mitchell's shoulder.
