Part 8

"A what?"

"A c-section is when professional surgeons will open up your belly when it's the proper time for the baby to be delivered at the full term." Vick explained.

"This can't be happening." Brooklyn backed into the wall, sliding down the wall in shock. Both his hands cupped his belly. He still didn't want to believe this was happening to him.

"You'll be given your meals a few times a night. The sickness should be over now, so you'll need to be eating more too, for all of you." Vick stated.

"I'm not hungry." Brooklyn replied.

"It'll be a while for your breakfast anyway." Vick said. "Another hour. You'll only be fed the best foods, the most nutritious ones. And we'll have to see what you start craving, as a lot of pregnant individuals do get cravings for certain foods too."

"I won't eat them." Brook declared.

"Brooklyn, if you refuse to cooperate to eat, you'll be forced to be tube fed. That's how we fed you for the last several weeks. It was also how we collected discarded vomit from your guts when the baby had to decide to make you sick otherwise. Now, we want you to eat the way you should again." Vick explained. "Don't think I won't hesitate to have it done. I have my own dart guns and my own team to make you cooperate. And don't think you're getting away anytime soon. That cuff on your leg is so thick your talons can't tear it up."

Vick then proceeded to leave Brooklyn alone to think about his situation. "I'll be back with your first meal since waking up in a little while, and you better eat it if you know what's good for ya." Vick warned him.

Brooklyn was now scared out of his wits. The way he had found out that his body had been so dirtily used made him feel so violated. He knew he had to have been raped for this to even happen. But how it had been done to him left him still very baffled. It just wasn't possible for it to happen.

He looked down at his round stomach and knew that if there was a baby inside him, it felt more like a parasite to him than a child of his own. What if it was just another clone? That's it! It was just another clone. Brooklyn knew he didn't think of Malibu as his child like Goliath thought of Thailog as his son.

Brooklyn knew that he was up to having kids someday, but with a female that loved him and have them the regular way. This felt like forgery. But with this baby already inside him, aside from tearing his own stomach open, what choice did he have?

He knew that he needed to find a way to escape and get back home. Just the whole thought on what he had just learned was very upsetting to him. Brooklyn was normally a tough male and usually never cried. Not since he was a hatchling. He could get upset, yes, but it was so rare for tears to fall. He just couldn't believe this was happening to him.

The hormones he was feeling at the moment were also taking a toll on him. But it was still the shock of it all and what was going on. These humans had completely manipulated his body into carrying something that he shouldn't. He couldn't help it that he started to cry.

He cried for a few minutes, but he wasn't about to let Vick's words totally ruin him. He then tried to get the shackle off his ankle. But like Vick had said, it was really strong, and he couldn't get his talons into the material so easily and it was tight against the skin. He grunted in distress. But then, he also couldn't bring his leg up so close without putting pressure on his belly.

He really hoped his clan would find him. He also saw a calendar in the room a fair distance away from him. He saw the month was now November. With the sedation that was mentioned, yeah it was possible. It was still the year 1997, but it was almost over. He had missed so many patrols and other activities of his clan. He had missed out on Halloween, his favorite holiday of the year. He didn't know what the day was officially though.
