Remnants Queen Of Monsters

Family

Atlas, Remnant

When Coco woke, she was in the hospital. It took her about two hours to find out she was fine. Another hour to make sure the baby was fine. That was when she got the news that the baby was actually a baby. 2 months pregnant. That was physically impossible. She had been to the hospital not too long ago and they had said about 1 month. She still wasn't showing of course, but that jump made Coco feel sick. Her nerves through the roof. Not to mention, what she did on Amity Arena. Her throat still felt numb from it.

Right now though, she was watching over Yatsuhashi. Trying to distract herself from the terrifying prospect of her future by putting her entire focus on caring for her team. No, her family. Velvet was there first before any of them. Coco didn't know Yatsuhashi's condition, didn't know who his doctor was, but she did know Velvet was on top of it all. She'd trust Velvet over anyone to do this right.

Coco was pulled from her thoughts as a man in a fur coat walked in. His expression was mild amusement, and the ground clinked every time he took a step with his right leg.

"Well don't you all look so concerned." The man said rudely. His accent was similar to that of Velvet's. "You are lucky I was here for the festival. Atlas Prince Municipal is letting me use their facilities to treat your friend."

"What in the hell, are YOU doing here?" Velvet growled. She stood up with anger in her eyes.

"Well hello to you too my dear sweet niece." The man replied. "And to answer your question. I'm mister Daichi's doctor."

Coco could feel the tension, but she trusted Velvet over anyone. So she stepped between the man and Yatsuhashi. Eyes narrowed. "Mind educating us on who you are? For those less informed?"

The man considered. "Dwelling. Dr. Dwelling. You must be Coco Adel. 2 months pregnant am I right?"

Coco's eyes widened. "How do you-"

"I happened to see your file when looking for his." Dwelling explained. "Crazy how much a quick glance can tell you." Coco was starting to understand why Velvet had issues with the man. "Now, you can either keep blocking my way and your jolly green giant of a friend can die here in..." He checked his watch. "Say the next hour or two, or you can let me do my job."

Coco felt her anger rising, but she glanced at Velvet. Velvet was shaking her head but she sighed. "Let him in Coco. He's a bastard, but if anyone can save Yatsu from anything, it's Dwelling."

"Uncle Dwelling." Dwelling corrected.

"I'll only call you that on the day we bury you." Velvet scowled. "How bad is it?"

"Pretty bad. So how much do you want your boyfriend to live?"

"He's not my boyfriend." Velvet said lightly.

"Right. Well your boyfriend isn't breathing."

Coco frowned. "What do you mean. We can hear it through the machine, and his chest is rising and falling."

"Because of a Mechanical Lung. The technology is extremely new developed by Pietro Polendina, but it gives us extra time to assess a patient's condition when they decide their lungs need to explode from a palm strike."

Coco's body went cold, goosebumps rising on her skin. "What?"

"That's right. So we need a Lung Donor. Which brings me back to you." He pointed to Velvet.

Velvet stammered. "Am I even compatible?"

"Velvet, I was your doctor for 13 years. I know your blood work better than anyone. Yes you're a match." Dwelling said bluntly. "Are you up for it, or do you want me to look for a good samaritan?"
