A Few Months Later: 

In the hospital: 

With Elvira: 

Today was apparently the day, her father had said, before he had rushed himself and her mother off to the hospital.

It had been a regular playdate for herself and her friends. 

Wilson and Larry had been dropped off a little while before, the two boys somewhat excited to be hanging around her and Malcolm. 

Well, Wilson being the moody four year old he is and Larry being the shy one year old, the two boys were relatively used to the young Lake Monster joining in in their little friend group. 

She knew that Barry and Fiona were most likely taking care of the BHA, considering her mother was unable to go into work during the last few weeks of her pregnancy, and Roxxane had mentioned something about her and DJ needing to head out of the city for the day and needed their son looked after while they were gone. 

But as it turns out, her new baby sibling had decided they wanted to be born THAT same day. 

Her father had mentioned something in his mad panic about the kid being a few days early as he helped his wife out of the casino and into the waiting vehicle outside, having asked her personal driver to wait outside of their home in the last few days in case he needed to rush them to the hospital. 

A few minutes after they had gone, aunt Slendithera and uncle Rad had both agreed to take the four kids with them to the hospital, not wanting any of them to be left home alone, especially since Jerry had gone out and Scott was at work. 

So, as quickly as the two could, with the help of Luke giving her grandparents a quick call to inform them of what was going on, the three had managed to get them all to the hospital shortly after her mother had been checked in and was already in a room. 

Elvira blinked her eyes open when she heard Larry fusing, the infant Neon wriggling in Slendithera’s arms as she attempted to gently hush him back to sleep. 

Wilson was sitting with his little arms crossed, his face in what appeared to be a permanent scowl with a hint of a pout poking through. 

Uncle Rad was pacing back and forth, the Toxic Sludge muttering under his breath as he continued to text someone, either Jade or his parents. 

Luke, the silent Human Deer he was, remained standing near the doorway to the empty waiting room as though he were a bodyguard just waiting to pounce on anyone who dared enter their space, his sword most likely strapped to the side of his belt and hidden under his cloak. 

Elvira glanced to her left, the young Velociraptor Angler tilting her head to the side when she saw the worried look on Malcolm’s face as he twiddled his thumbs. 

The young Velociraptor Angler had grown to know his nervous ticks, and this was one of them. 

“I’m sorry you had to be dragged here with us, I’m sure you would rather be staying back at home than sitting and waiting outside of a hospital room” said Elvira guiltily, the young Velociraptor Angler knowing that Malcolm was more than capable to taking care of himself when left at home lone, the young Lake Monster having lived most of his life that way since the day he was born. 

Malcolm was a little startled by the sound of her voice, the young Lake Monster jumping slightly in fright before quickly turning to her, shaking his head frantically. 

“No, it’s ok! I dinnae mind comin' alon' with ye. I want to be there an' show my support! I mean…ye are goin' to be a big sister soon…that’s a pretty big change…” admitted Malcolm, the young Lake Monster smiling with a light blush dusting his cheeks.
