Three's A Crowd-Chp66

[the group soon made their way bk to Awesome's ship n was soon taking off bk to space]

Awesome: (phew) Glad that's over.

Peepers: (phew) Me too.

Knucklehead: She's definitely a piece of work [turns to the boys] Umm, no offense

Bill, Phil & Gil: Eh, none taken.

Knucklehead: So, abt the hired help, r we keeping them or r we sending them bk to their homes?

Awesome: See what they wanna do first.

Peepers: (nod)

Knucklehead: (nod) Better head off to see how Ms Sylvia is doing. I'll handle the hired help

Awesome & Peepers: (nod) (go to see Sylvia)

Bill, Phil & Gil: (think) ...What about us?

Knucklehead: Up to u guys whether u wanna stay or not, make urselves at home, bt don't u hv a sister to visit too?

Bill, Phil & Gil: (nod) (follow Awesome & Peepers)

[in the med bay...]

Sylvia: [was in the ICU section, being hooked up to a bunch of tubes n to the heart monitor machine, her breathing slow n even n her heartbeat steady, n her colour seemed to hv returned]

Awesome & Peepers: :( ...

Medic: [was monitoring her progress] Oh, hello, sirs. Come to see Ms Sylvia?

Awesome: We have.

Peepers: How is she?

Bill, Phil & Gil: (also poked their heads in)

Medic: She's stable for now. Like I said, we hv to put her into induced coma so tht she can fully heal. Would u like to see the eggs, sir?

Awesome & Peepers: (nod)

Medic: [led them to another room where the eggs were kept in a big canister with some sort of bubbly liquid in it] Here they are, all four accounted for

[The eggs were abt one-third the size of a regular zbornak egg, probably following Peepers' genetics of being small sized, all floating gently in the canister]

Awesome: :) There they are...

Peepers: (inlove) Our babies...

Bill, Phil & Gil: (hearteyes)

Medic: Their shells r still quite delicate, since they're born premature, only 75% hardened, so they will hv to be kept here for abt one n a half mth, which is wen they were supposed to be born. Then it'll take abt 2 weeks of incubation for them to hatch. Ms Sylvia will be able to wake up in time to see the hatching. We still can't tell the gender tho, coz of the shell

Awesome: :) Cool.

Peepers: :( Aw that long??~

Medic: They need time to develop. If we hv left them to be exposed, they might not even survive the hatching process. U will hv to be patient, Captain Peepers. Sorry

Peepers: ^^;; Okay, okay. (smiled at the eggs) :)

Medic: I guess congratulations is in order :) [nodded curtly as she left to do her job]

Awesome & Peepers: :) Thanks. (look at each other) ... (chuckle)

Bill: Wat? Wats so funny? :^)

Awesome: :) To think we were gonna be at each others' throats.

Peepers: :) But surprisingly we're getting along just fine.

Bill: Yeah, we heard abt Sylvia's sexcapades with u two (giggle)

Awesome: ^^;; Yeah, I was mostly her cool off.

Peepers: And me... :(

Phil & Gil: :(

Bill: Bt do u both reli love our sister? Let's be honest here :^)

Awesome: ...Yes.

Peepers: We do...

Bill: Good, just wanna be sure. I hv a feeling Sylvia has already made a decision, she was abt to tell us wen Mom showed up n interrupted us |-(

Awesome: Was she?

Phil & Gil: (nod)

Bill: I might hv an idea of wat her decision is, bt I think it's best if u hear it from her instead, just in case I'm wrong

Awesome & Peepers: ?

Bill: I'll let u guys stew on that. C'mon, bros, let's call our agent n let him know the current situation [gestured his bros to give them some privacy]

Phil: ^^;; They were pretty girls though. (followed)

Gil: (nod) Yeah. (followed)

[the bros left Awesome n Peepers alone with the eggs]

Awesome: (looked at the eggs) ...Isn't it amazing? :)

Peepers: :) Yeah...
