Chapter 14 Racing Death (FINAL)

I remember the way Buttercups scream filled the air, she was the first to notice Prince, notice his lifeless body on the floor. I remember all hell falling down on Blade. I remember seeing fire and energy balls and burst of light, all of it flying through the air as they fought. I remember crying, "My baby.. my baby's gone, my baby.."

I remember Brick coming towards me, seeing the blood and realizing something was wrong. Then I blacked out before coming back to myself as doctors and nurses rushed around me. I wanted to talk but there was a sharp pain in my chest and throat and I realized there was a tube in my mouth and I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to close my eyes and never open them again.

Except I did open my eyes again, in a hospital room, my body was sore and I moved my arm, hitting the nurse call button. The door opened and three nurses came in along with a doctor. They asked me questions and checked over me before the doctor grabbed my hand, "There are a few little people who have been wanting you."

I was confused by her statement but then Brick was pushing a baby cart in the door and I forced myself to sit up before seeing another baby cart being brought in, pushed by a nurse. "What? Brick what's happening?"

Except I already knew, I had twins. Two little lives to love and take care of and that thought forced tears to my eyes. "Can I hold them?" I asked.

Which made Brick give a small, weak laugh, "Of course."

One was extra chubby with light curly red fuzz on the top of it's head and the other was small, way too small it made a part of me worry, it had darker, curly red fuzz on its head and I opened my arms and once our skin made contact their eyes opened sleepily. My chubby little baby had cherry red eyes, that seemed to sparkle while my other tiny baby had eyes that reminded me of a light powdered blush and my heart swelled. My babies.

"Have you name them yet?"

"No," Brick whispered, "I wanted to wait for you."

I smiled at the red eyes baby, "Asher.." before looking at the other baby, "And Kohen.."

They both seemed to smile, forcing me to become teary eyed before I remembered Prince and my happiness collapsed while I clutched my babies to my chest. "Prince.. is he?.. Where is.." I didn't know how to quiet get the words out.

Bricks smile fell and he went to my side, "So far he's healthy and everything's normal and Blades dead.."

"But?"

"He's in a coma.."

The world seemed to stop for an instant. My babies were okay while someone else's had the possibility to never wake up. "How is everyone else?"

"Everyone else is fine but Princess and Mitch are in hell right now.."

I kissed my babies heads, "l couldn't even imagine.. can I see him?"

"In a few days, your powers are still out of the works and they could come at any moment, we just want to make sure no more Chemical X gets into his system." Brick explained.

"Is that what happened? Blade contaminated him with Chemical X?"

"To an extent, yes but it's a little more complicated than that.. They're trying to get it out of his system but it's in his blood."

I thought for a minute, "When can I leave the hospital and see my family?"

"We were just waiting for you to wake up, we can leave today, everyone is probably at your dad's. Are you ready to leave?"

"Yeah, I just want to take our babies home.."

"About that.. we're going to be staying with your dad for a while.."

I groaned before nodding, remembering the smoke from the house when Blade took us. After the doctor came in and explained the boys situation and how to breast feed and the use of a pump and explaining until my powers came back I would be between bed ridden and using a wheel chair so I wasn't to stunt my powers. I was excited to see my family and have my babies and have my husband but I couldn't stop thinking of Prince.

It was an emotional reunion to say the least and Princess and Mitch weren't there, both still at the hospital refusing to leave Prince alone. It was very exhausting and I was ready to sleep. Brick had me pump before I went to bed so the boys wouldn't be hungry.

I was still powerless the next few days and having two newborns was a bit stressful and exhausting but Brick and my father helped lots along with my sister's and brother in laws. Professor did daily check ups on me and the twins, I think it kept him from worrying, I didn't mind much. But I still had this worrying feeling about Prince, he had already flat lined twice and I had yet to see Mitch and Princess.

It was night when I was sitting on the bed feeding Asher while Brick burped Kohen. "Do you think they are going about Prince the wrong way?" I asked Brick.

He stopped bouncing his knees, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know, it's just them trying to do blood transfusions don't seem to be working.."

He shrugged, a tired look finally crossing over his features, he didn't say anything but I could read the pain written across his face. Later he put the babies to bed and I finally closed my eyes.

It was pitch black, with a red tinted mist covering the floor. I began walking, hoping to find what I was looking for, but I didn't quite know what that was. Soon I saw a large screen that was buzzing loudly and was staticky. I sighed, I was here. I walked over to it and just stared at it for a few minutes before a hand, no, a claw rested on my shoulder.

"HIM. It's been a while."

I could feel his smirk without looking at him, "It has, hasn't it?"

The screen began to change, going black, forming an X, "We both know why I brought you here." He muttered. "Your little theory that's been bouncing around in that skull of yours.. I think it's time to test it.."

I shot out of bed, I looked at Brick who was still sleeping before getting up. I was surrounded in a pink glow, my powers had returned, I'm pretty sure it wasn't on there own.. I made my way downstairs grabbing as many chemical X packages as I could before hurrying to the hospital.

The room was dark, only the moon shinning in from the open blinds gave any light. I glanced over at Mitch sleeping on the arm chair, he looked awful, deep dark bags under his closed eyes, his skin was a sickly pale and his hair was greasy and tangled. I could see the stress and worry on his face, even while he slept. I ignored him, curious about where Princess was. I decided I didn't have long, making my way to Prince's bedside. He seemed to look worse than his father and he was so lithe. I pushed back the hair sticking to his clammy forehead. I moved the tube, pumping blood through his system. I turned the switch before taking off the blood bag and hooking up the bag full of Chemical X.

I was about to turn the switch when the door opened. "Blossom? What're you doing?!" Princess demanded, two styrofoam cups in her hands most likely full of coffee.

I frowned at her awful appearance, but she held this fire in her eyes. She smashed the cups with her hands, not even feeling the burn, "Don't you DARE turn that switch!" She roared, waking up Mitch, who watched the scene in surprise.

I only rose an eyebrow at her statement before doing the exact opposite of her orders. She cried, trying to move and come at me but something kept both stricken and stressed parents from moving. The Chemical X seemed to fill Prince quickly and I kept changing the bags as each one would empty. I stopped once all the veins on Prince had changed to black, including his lips and nails and his once soft brown hair. Princess began to scream before something in her changed, something snapped and she fell to her knees and just sobbed while Mitch watched in horror, wishing he could go to her but he was still frozen against his will.

I choose to ignore them and I watched Prince, he began to shake, his body convulsing hard on the bed and he began coughing red blood violently and then he stopped and laid still against the bed. I moved to check his pulse, but there was none. My heart dropped. This wasn't supposed to happened. He was supposed to wake up. I took a few deep breaths before rubbing my hands together so fast, sparks began to emit from them and then I counted to three before pushing them against his small chest. His body jolted but there was no response. I tried again and again and again but he still remained lifeless. The sobs escaped my lips and the tears raced down my cheeks. Why wasn't this working?!

I pulled him to me, hugging him close, my pink glow encasing itself around him as well. And then I felt it. A sharp pricking on my back, his nails were digging into my skin and he was moving and he was hugging me and I cried harder than before, before letting him go. He laid there staring at me his eyes covered in black, no white to be seen. I smiled lightly and moved back before his parents raced past me and hugged him tightly. He was breathing and he was okay and I was okay and Blades gone and my babies are okay.

We are all okay.
