Story[]
"Well Ms. cricket, that's another case closed." Mama Cricket said to the smaller officer as they walked out of the coal house. It had been abandoned for ages and unknown to most, it was where a lot of Night howlers were being sold. Thankfully Father Cricket and one of his most trusted officers, Mona, shut the operations down.
"You bet. Those rams didn't know what hit em." Mona said confidently, taking out the keys to the car and pressing the button to unlock it. She then threw the keys to Mother and stepped in the passenger door, taking a seat and putting on her seatbelt. Father did the same, then started the car and began to drive back in the direction of Diamond City. The drive back was mostly silent, there was an odd question or attempt to make small talk from both sides, until all of a sudden Mona hunched over in pain.
"Cricket? What's wrong?" Young Cricket's Mother asked with slight concern, looking to the distressed Mona for a moment then back to the road in front of him. Penny took a deep breath and let out an anxious chuckle.
"N-nothing! I guess the baby's just kicking!" She told him, rubbing her swollen stomach to see if pain would diminish. Though Mona was currently nine months pregnant with her and Cricket's sixth child, she wasn't about to take another break off of the job for it. She'd already had five kids and absolutely hated taking maternity leave from her dream job. This time round, she wasn't having it, even with the baby being born any day now..... Or any minute now...
"Cricket I told you to take a week off. You can't keep coming on cases with a child due any day now." Father said sternly, frowning a bit as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Under his tough shell Father did care for Mona and the other officers. He just preferred to keep his soft side hidden.
"With all due respect sir, I have been really careful I don't think I need to- yahAH!!" She she shrieked suddenly, clutching over again as she started to breath heavily.
"Cricket!?! Cricket what's wrong?!" Mother asked with concern, turning to her with a slight start.
"I think.... I think the baby's coming!"
"Say no more, I'll double back to the hospital." With that, she made a swift U turn, pressing down on the accelerator and darting towards the hospital, sirens blazing to warn any cars to get out of the way. The sheer determination to reach the hospital as quickly as he could was burning in Mother's eye. Hastily, Monq reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, dialling Young Cricket's number.
~Back at Diamond City~
"I dunno Cricks, what do you call a three humped dog?" Dribble asked curiously as he shared a donut with Spitz.
"Pregnant!" The man with a black bangs chuckled as he and Dribble burst out laughing. They were mid laughing when Cricket got a call on his phone, he wiped a small tear away from his eye as he picked up the phone. "H-hehe-hello?"
"CRICKET!!!"
The man with a black bangs almost dropped his phone at the miniature heart attack he had, he took a breath then put the phone back to his ear. "Mona??? Mona what's wrong?!?!?"
"It's t-the baby! It's on it's way! aaaAHH!!"
Ruffled noises and Father's frightened voice trying to comfort Mona echoed through the phone, Cricket turned to Dribble, who wore the same jaw dropped expression as he did. "Alright Mona alright! I'll grab Minnie, Winnie, Poppy, Lily and Natsi and be there as quick as I can!"
"HurryyyyyYYY!!!"
“Oh man oh man it's happening!! It's happening now!!” Cricket yelled out as he pulled his ears in panic.
"Relax! You've done this like, five times already, you've got this! Just go to your place and get the kiddos!" He said calmly, tossing Cricket his keys. Without another word Cricket fucking ran out of the building, getting in his car and racing back to his place. Bowserina shook her head and sighed. "That poor inventor, stuck with YC's Mum in a hospital while giving birth to a child.. that sure sounds like fun."
~At Mona and Cricket's House~
"Gotta get the kids gotta get the kids!" Cricket said repeatedly as he approached the door on the house. He raced up to the door and unlocked it, bursting in only to find the place as quiet as a ghost town. "Minnie, Winnie, Poppy, Lily and Natsi?" He said stepping in and looking around. He called out to the two babysitters, but there was no reply. He walked into the kitchen where he found a note lying in the table. It read:
Mr Cricket/Mrs Keane
We took MWPLN out for some ice cream, we might be a bit late coming back, but the kids are safe!
Cricket felt his heart almost stop in panic. They went OUT?! But he needed to bring them to the hospital! Of all the days they decided to not be here! Cricket growled in frustration, then face planted into the table. He let out an exasperated sigh then pulled himself together and went back out to the car. "Okay, there's about... eight? Eight different ice cream parlours they could have went to. I just gotta drive past each one and see if they're there!" He said to himself as he started up the engine. He zoomed off back into the busy street. “Don't you worry Mona. I'll get there on time.
Then, When the baby arrived, the doctor said congratulations! it's a girl! What name are you going to give her? Mona said 'Maddie Crygor.' The doctor said, Good name!
