Father and Daughter
chapter. 1. "Mel"
With both his hands full of Root Beer boxes, Modo walks out from Jeff's shop. He puts them down on his bike and sighs a little. Beeing the one to always doing the Root Beer runs isnt always that fun, since you're mostly doing it by your own. But Modo isnt the guy who complains, as long he gets to ride his beloved Lil' Hos he dosent mind. Pats it gently on the fueltank "Dont worry hun, I'll clean you up when we get back". The bike beeps happily in replay. He chuckles.
Its been a long tough day, not only cause of that big fishbutt and his plans of destryoing Chi-town as usal. No, the autumn was in the air, and the leaves on the trees have already begun to fall. An cold breeze went through his grey fur, making him shiver. Not that Modo hated the fall, but he hated to freeze, and now when it was about to get winter again... No he didnt like it, not at all.
Modo's just about to start the engine and go back home, when he twitches his ear by a sad cry. In a cold dark alley, among trashcans and old paperboxes, lies a lonely little baby, wrapped in an old darkblue blanket. Modo kneels down and gently lifts it up in his strong arms, leaning it at his muscular arm. "Hey little one... you ok?". The baby stops crying, looking up at the big tall grey fuzzy mouse, with its chocolate brown eyes. "Hey, dont be afraid.. Im a friend" He smiles, while caressing its cheek. The baby reaches up one of its hands to touch him. Modo smiles warmly and pokes its little nose with his finger. The baby smiles and holds his huge finger with its both hands, smiling cute.
He gets up from the ground, looking around for someone who may had left it there, but there is no one in sight. Sighs and looks at the little one "Looks like you're abandoned" The baby looks up at him, almost looking like a lost little puppy. Modo smiles "But dont worry, we'll find you a new home" Brings the baby with him to his bike and drives back to the Wrigley Field scoreboard. Knowing this wasnt gonna be easy.
Vinnie frowns distinctly with his arms across over his chest "Nu-uh, forget it big fella. Im not gonna touch it even you give me a milion bucks!" Modo sits down on the old sofa, with the baby crying again in his arms. "Well I cant hold it all the time, its kinda heavy for me too. Especially for my ears". Throttle rolls his eyes and walks over to him "Here, give it to me bro" He takes the little one in his arms and smiles gently at it "Hey little angel, you were a cute one" The baby stops crying and looks up at him with big eyes. Curious touches his big nose with its tiny hands. Throttle chuckles and caress its soft cheek.
Vinnie snorts "Well even if its cute, we cant keep it". Modo looks over at him "Why not? Its not that hard to raise a kid, I've been helping taking care of my nephew since he was just a shrimp". Vinnie frowns "Well im not gonna help you. And why did you bring it in first place? It could had been found of someone else". Modo growls a little "I couldnt just leave it there! It could had been bring up by wrong hands!". Before Vinnie opens his mouth, Throttle breaks in. "Hey bros, settle down would ya? You're scaring the little one". The both mice sighs with a sorry.
The tan furred mouse looks down at the little baby in his arms, who's begun to suck one of his fingers. "..and besides, Vinnie is right, Modo, we cant keep it. We dont have the experience of taking care of a baby by our own". Modo droops his ears with a sad look in his face and sighs "I guess you're right... but bros, we cant just leave it to an orphan house. Its still to young". Throttle nods with a agree, looking over at the younger mouse. "Got any suggestion?" Vinnie blinks "Why do you ask me for? I dont know how to take care of it!". Modo gets up from the sofa "Well, we all know someone who knows what to do". His bros looks at each other with one name in their thoughts.
Charley has just finished her paperwork for today and streches her arms with a yawn, while sitting on the chair. She hated the bloody paperwork, but it always had to be done. She's just about to look for another paper to fix, while she's still in the mood, when she hears the well-known sounds of three bikes. She smiles a little. Charley always enjoyed to have them here. Well, maybe not always, not since they where playing hockey in her garage. With a soft laughter, she gets up and walks out to meet them. Its been almost a day since they where here last time. Even though she'd never admit it, she rather have them next door so she could be sure they're ok.
Vinnie stops at the approach and pulls of his helmet with a broadly smile "Hey sweetheart, missed me?". Charley rolls her green eyes "Yeah really, i've been dying to see you". Vinnie chuckles. "I know you couldnt live without me". The human girl shakes her head, then got to see Throttle and Modo drives up by his side. "Hi guys, how's it going?". Modo gets of his bike. "Well, its ok, it could had been better though". Charley looks confused at him. "Whats wrong? Something happend with your bike again?". Then she sees the little bundle on Throttle's arm, knowning exactly what's going on. "Oh no, dont tell me you found a lost puppy again. Im not gonna let you have it, cause..!". Throttle interrupts her. "Woh hey hey, its not what its looks like, Charley-girl. Look" Shows her the little sleeping baby, wrapped up in a new clean blanket.
With a typical "oh" face, Charley looks at the baby. She takes it gently into her arms. "You poor little thing, come here. Where did you found her?" looking at the bros. "Behind Jeff's store. She was all alone and I couldnt just leave her there" Modo answerd. Vinnie blinked in confusion "Her? How do you know its a she?" Charley rolls her eyes again "Its pretty easy, girls is more cuter when they're babys, while guys isnt" The bros nods and acts like they knew that all along, while Charley laughs about her joke.
They walks back in to the garage with the baby. Charley smiles at it "Well you must be hungry. Im gonna see if I have something to feed you with" Looking over at the bros again, who walks in next after her. "Can someone take her, while I fix some food?"
Throttle gently takes the kid in his arms again, gets to sit on a chair, letting it play with his fingers. Vinnie sits down with a sigh, while Modo trys to help Charley. She comes back with a bottle of lukewarm milk, and shows Throttle how to fead her. The baby-girl eats hungry, almost eating it up all at once. The leader mouse chuckles and smiles warm.
Vinnie looks at him with expressionless face "Well, how's it gonna be? Should we keep it or not?" Charley thinks at first with a hesitant face. "Well... leaving it to an orphan house would be wrong, since it's still so young." Modo nods in agree and sits next by Throttle's side "I thought it deservs better.. its deservs a home. Someone who loves her" Caressing his finger over the little one's head. "Yeah.. would feel bad to let her go to a place like that" Throttle added. Charley agreed, looking over at Vinnie who dosent look that pleased. "Vinnie..?" He sighs deeply, closing his eyes. "Ok Ok, we'll keep it. But I WONT change its diapers!" The others looks confused at him, then burst into laughter. The white mouse pouts his lips and cross his arms over his chest.
Modo smiles, looks at the others "What should we call her? She needs a name" Charley bites her lips while thinking "Kate?" The mice frowns with an disagree, while Charley shrugs. "Then you come up with something better". Vinnie smiles, leaning his chin into his hand "It has to be something cool, but still fits her". Modo first looks at him with a small chock, about how fast he changed his mind, and nods in agree "Something... sweet".
Throttle looks down at the now little sleeping baby-girl in his arms, holding a gently grab into his fur. He knew that things would change from now on. Its gonna be tough to bring up a little girl in this world, but he also knew it will be ok. Carresing her soft cheek with a soft smile. "Mel" He whispers, loud enough for the others to hear
The others looks at each other, saying her name once again. They agrees and smiles. Modo caress her thin honeyblond hair with a big smile "Welcome to our family, Mel"
well, she's not really his new girl ^^' but I hope she's gonna like her
Not in that sense, I know. I was just making fun XD I hope, she'll like her too.
aaah sorry ^^' we'll just wait and see. Carbine and stoker and the rest wont show up until in chapter 7 or 8.
Nice little story. Please, please, please let me know how Carbine reacts to Throttle's new girl! :D
So you think that I'm just the usual pretty girl too locked up in the fiction world to notice the real one?
Well... you're right.
