Disclaimer: Don't own Dinosaur King

It's been a month since the kidnapping and things couldn't be better for the D-Team. Right noe Zoe and Reese were putting the onsies on hangers and putting them into the closet of the redecorated nursery. The walls were painted with a better color, the cribs were all set up, the changing station was built, a rocking chair was placed in the room, and all that had to be done was put away the baby clothes. "Thanks again for helping me with the clothes Zoe." Reese thanks as Zoe replies, "Oh it's nothing Reese." As the sisters assorted the clothes, Zoe finds one particular onsie that surprised her…

She came across the onesie she wanted to show Reese at the mall.

"It's a cute onesie, right? The one you wanted to show me." Zoe was baffled, how did Reese knew that the onesie she was the one she wanted to show her sister? "Yeah...but how? I never got to show you it." She said. Reese playfully rolls her eyes, "Well I came across it back at the mall a few months ago…."

Flashback to the mall.

"After I looked through some of the baby clothes, I decided to check up on you and see how well you found cute ones." Reese looks left and right for her sister. She finds Zoe putting back the onesie she had found and went off.

Reese walks on over to the spot where Zoe was and takes a look at the onesie and smiles. "I found the onesie you had put back and I assumed it was the same one you wanted to show me, and it was so darn cute." Reese nods, she then takes the onesie to a shopping cart with many other baby clothes her family found and placed it in there.

"You really thought it was cute?" Zoe asks with a smile. Reese nods to her, "Yep, out of everything we've picked up that one is by far my favorite. So clearly I got a sister with great taste in fashion." Zoe felt proud for Reese to say she has great taste in fashion. She walks on over to Reese and the two sisters hug it out. "You're the best sister ever." Zoe says as Reese replies, "Heh, I know." The two kept their embrace for a while…

...and then it happened.

Reese felt a sharp pain as she lets go of Zoe and fell to her knees with her hands on her belly. Zoe was scared, "Reese, what's wrong?!" Reese breathes heavily, "Zoe. Get mom and dad...now!"

"MOM! DAD! HELP!"

Soon the two parents raced into the room to see Reese on the ground holding her stomach. "Reese are you okay?!" Mrs. Drake asks worryingly.

"Mom. Dad. The twins...the twins are coming." It's happening, Reese is going into labor. "Zoe, help me get your sister to the car while your mother calls Zander." Dr. Drake instructs. Zoe nods, she and her dad help Reese up and help her out of the room as Mrs. Drake pulled out a cell phone and calls for Zander.


All the way near the edge of town, Zander was helping his siblings, nephew, and niece move into an apartment with the aid of Rex and Max. Right now Zander was installing a TV, Ursula was moving boxes into her room, Rod and Laura were unpacking their belongings, and Ed was moving the couch in with Rex and Max. "Just a little bit further, and set her down." The three set the couch down, and Ed was huffing he was that exhausted. "Alright, TV is all set up." Zander declares. Ursula enters the living room and says, "Thanks again for the help Zander." Zander adjusts his glasses, "Oh it's nothing Ursula, helping my family is what I do best."

Then his phone begins ringing. Zander picks up the call, "Hello?...Wait, what? Now?!...Alright, I'm on my way!" Everyone could tell that call Zander got didn't sound good. "What was that all about?" Max asks.

"Reese just went into labor."

The news shocks everyone, it's now time for the twins to be brought into this world.

"I'll stay behind and watch Rod and Laura." Ed volunteered. Zander nods then turns to Ursula, "You coming?" Ursula says, "Yeah, I'm in."

"We're in too!" Max said pulling Rex close to his side. Rex gives a thumbs up, so he was in. "Alright everyone, to my car!" Zander looks to Ed, "We'll call if we need you." Zander follows Ursula, Max, and Rex out the door to his car.

By now, Rod and Laura enter to see what all the commotion was about. "What going on?" Laura asks. Ed tells his niece, "Aunt Reese is ready to have the twin, and Zander just left to get to the hospital." The two gasp in excitement before Rod questioned, "Wait, how come we all couldn't go?" Ed was about to answer when he forgot about something. "Oh wait, we do have the other vehicle. What was I thinking? Okay, follow me you two and we'll head over to visit aunt Reese." Ed said. Rod and Laura put on their shoes and followed Ed out the apartment and to the other vehicle.

By now Zander and the others were on their way to the hospital, and so far they were making good time. Zander was driving, Ursula was in passenger seat, and Max was in the back seat with Rex. "Man, I'm surprise we're making up such good time. We could be to the hospital in no time." Zander said in glee. "Zander, don't jinx anything." Ursula forewarned her brother. But he ignores her warning, "Oh come on Ursula, what's the worst that could happen?"

As Zander turns the corner, his happiness insanity goes away. Ursula wasn't surprised and tells him, "I warned you." Max looks up front and asks, "What's wrong?" Rex looks out too and both boys we surprised. "Oh, that's a problem." Rex said.

In front of everyone was a major traffic jam.

Zander begins to bang his head on the horn a few times, he was stupid enough to jinx himself. "Sheesh, this seems worse than that traffic jam in New York City." Ursula comments. Max and Rex agreed, "Yeah." As does Zander, "Tell me about it. It didn't even help when Dr. Z used…" Zander raised his head and continued, "Tried to use the dinosaurs. Maybe not a good idea to go through traffic, but maybe...around it?"

Zander's idea may be crazy but could work.

But Ursula had to bring hopes down, "Uh Zander, we didn't bring Terry or Spiny with us." Zander slumped, but then got another idea. He turns to Max and Rex, "Do either of you two brought your dinosaurs?"

Max shakes his head. Rex tells Zander while checking his dinoholder, "I think I have Ace as a card in here. One sec…got him." Rex does have Ace giving Zander some relief. Zander looks to his sister, "Rex and I will meet you there." Zander and Rex exit the car as Ursula hops into the driver seat. The two head onto the sidewalk and Rex gets ready to summon Ace. "Dino slash!" Rex said as his Carnotaurus appears full grown. Zander and Rex climb up and settle down on Ace. "Ace, to the hospital!" Zander orders. Ace nods and takes a scenic route to the hospital.


Once the Drake's made it to the hospital, they got Reese a room and began prepping her for the delivery. Reese was now in a hospital gown, hooked up to an IV, and has just gotten through a contraction. Reese lays back sweating as her parents stood by her side. "You're doing great sweetie." said Mrs. Drake. Reese pants, "Thanks mom. I just hope Zander gets here soon, I want him to be by my side." Zoe then volunteers, "I'll call and see where he is." Zoe leaves the room.

She takes out her dinoholder and contacts Rex. "Hey Zoe." He waves. "Rex, is Zander with you?" Zoe asks while noticing something weird, "Are you riding on Ace?"

"It was either this or waiting in a major traffic jam, and I'm not waiting while my angel's in labor." Zander said off in the distance. "Alright but just hurry you two, Reese is worried and wants you by her side Zander." Zoe said.


Ace skidded while taking a turn as Rex tells Zoe, "We'll be there soon Zoe, tell Reese to hang tight." Rex ends the call and takes a look at the map on his dinoholder. Him and Zander were getting closer to the hospital. "We're almost there." Rex tells Zander, "Just another right, across the bridge and it's just straight ahead."

"Good. Let's get a move on Ace!" Ace roars and speeds up. After turning to the right, Ace, Rex, and Zander were coming up to the drawbridge.

But as the three got closer to the bridge, it began to rise. "ACE, STOP!" Rex screams. Ace skidded to a halt as the drawbridge raised to let a few ships on by. Zander was exasperated while he exclaims, "Are you joking me right now?! We're right here, come on! Rex, is there another way around?" Rex runs the back of his neck, "Well, the next bridge is a few miles away."

"Oh come on! We're so close." Zander complains. Ace felt sorry for Zander and wanted to help but didn't know how. Ace looks looks left and right as ships were passing by ever so slowly, he knew there was no time to wait.

Ace begins to back up quite a way. Rex was confused as he asks his partner, "Ace, what are you doing?" Rex looks ahead and knew what Ace was about to do. "Ace, don't you dare!" Rex warns. "Please, don't be insane!" pleaded Zander. But he ignores everything his friends said and began to sprint. "Hang on tight!" Rex called out as he and Zander held for their lives. Ace drew closer and closer to the edge.

In slow motion, Ace jumps up and over the channel as well over a passing ship. Rex and Zander screamed as Ace jumped.

Ace lands perfectly and dashed straight to the hospital. Rex and Zander were petrified after Ace jumped over the channel. "Ace! What is wrong with you!" scolded Zander, "You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Rex then added, "I think I saw my life flash before me. Let's just get to the hospital."


Outside the room, Zoe was still awaiting for the others to arrive. She then saw Rex and Zander turning the corner coming towards her. "There you guys are." She said as while sharing a hug with Rex. Zoe leads the two inside.

Reese and her parents saw Zoe bring in Rex and Zander. "My angel." Zander rushed to Reese and held her tight, "I'm sorry if I couldn't make it here sooner."

"All that matters to me is that you're here now." Reese reassures with a smile.

But it disappears as Reese goes through another contraction. She grabs a hold of her husband's hand tightly, and Zander was now sharing the pain but kept his composure. Mrs. Drake strokes her daughters hair and says, "Just breathe Reese, you're doing great."

By now Dr. Grant arrives in the room all prepped for the delivery. "Hello everyone." He greeted while grabbing a clipboard, "Reese, in a couple of minutes here I believe we'll be ready for you to start pushing."

"Okay." She says breathlessly, Reese turns to her mom, "Mom, can you stay by my side and be the twins godmother?" Mrs. Drake was more than flattered by the question. She answers, "Yes, yes I will sweetie." She hugs her daughter. Then Dr. Drake then leads Rex and Zoe out of the room. "Let's get out of the way and head to the waiting room." He said. But before they left, Zoe looks back to her sister and waves, "See you soon, Reese." Reese smiles and waves back, "Yeah, see ya Zoe." Then Zoe closed the door.


It's been an hour since they left the room, and Zoe, her father and boyfriend were waiting in the waiting room. Dr. Drake was looking through the newspaper, Rex was doodling in a notebook, and Zoe looks to the ground anxiously waiting. Rex looks to his girlfriend and saw how worried she was. He asks her, "Are you worried Zoe?" She nods back before looking back at the ground. Rex then pulls Zoe into a hug. "Hey, everything will be alright. I'm sure it's scary waiting for the news, but maybe everything's going just right and there's no need to worry." Zoe felt a little bit better with Rex comforting her as she smiles slightly.

"Rex! Zoe!"

The two look and saw Max and the others have arrived. "Max, you made it." Zoe said, then Dr. Drake looks up from reading and says, "Was traffic bad coming over here? I've heard it was an accident blocking traffic."

"Yeah, there was a pothole that caused a couple cars to crash." Ursula explained. As Dr. Drake talked to Ursula and Ed, the D-Team talked amongst each other. "So Max, how was the drive with Ursula?" asks Zoe. Max shrugs, "Awkward at first, but we soon talked and found out we both love hip hop music."

"Rod, Laura, didn't Ed watch you two at your place?" Rex asks. "That was the plan, but we remembered we had another spare vehicle in the garage of the apartment's so we decided to come visit." Rod explained as Laura asks, "Did Reese have the twins yet?" Zoe and Rex shook heads. "We're still waiting for the news."

Then Mrs. Drake comes out from the hallway. "Zoe." She called out. Zoe looks up to see her mom, she then gets up and walks on over to her. "Mom, is Reese okay?" She asks. Mrs. Drake smiled and tells her, "She is. But would you like to see your new niece and nephew?" Zoe was in shock, did she just hear her mom say niece and nephew? Her mom leads her down the hall into Reese's hospital room. Mrs. Drake opens the door, and Zoe was introduced to a breathtaking view.

Reese was holding one of the newborns in her arms as Zander held the other in his arms.

"C'mon over Zoe." Reese said. Zoe walks on over to Reese's side and was in awe as she looks at the newborn. It had black hair like Zander's and yawned. Zoe couldn't help but have a few tears stream down as she smiled, "Oh my. Is this my nephew or niece?" Reese chuckles, "Right now I'm holding your niece Lily. Lily Zea." Zoe admired her niece a tiny bit before heading to Zander who sat in a chair holding her nephew. She asks Zander, "What's my nephew's name then?" He says, "Meet Corey, Zoe. Would you like to hold him?" Zoe wanted to squeal loudly, but refrained so the twins wouldn't cry. She nods, Zander stood up so Zoe could sit and hands her Corey. "Just be careful, he's very fragile." As Zoe held Corey in her arms, she was so happy to have one of the babies in her arms.

"So Reese, Zander. How do you two feel now that you're officially parents?" asks Mrs. Drake.

"To be honest, I feel happy now that I'm a mom." Reese said. Then Zander says, "I'm extremely glad to be a father. I feel like our family is like a flower bud finally blooming."

"So we're a blooming family?" Reese jokes. Everyone in the room begins to laugh at Reese's joke. "Well played my angel." complimented Zander. He then looks down at his daughter and lightly strokes her cheek as the two new parents nestled their heads into each others.
