A Blessing From Above
Okay, I was reading a pretty good story about Cornelius and Wilbur getting older, so I decided to write my own little one-shot about when Wilbur was born. So, here we go!
Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Meet the Robinsons or A Day With Wilbur Robinson.
"Breathe, Franny!" Cornelius yelled at his wife. "Breathe!"
"Stop yelling at me!" Franny yelled back.
"Whatever! Just push!"
"I'm pushing!"
"Push harder!"
"Stop yelling at me Cornelius! You're the one who did this to me, anyway! So be quiet!"
Cornelius opened his mouth to retort, but then shut it, realizing that she had a very good point.
"You're almost there, Mrs. Robinson!" A doctor told her. "Just push a little more."
Franny pushed….
And out popped a little baby.
"Congratulations!" The doctor told them. "It's a bouncing baby boy!"
Cornelius smiled. Wilbur was finally here.
"Can – Can I hold him?" Franny asked. Cornelius decided that it was safe enough to go back over to her, and so he went and stood beside her bed.
"Not quite yet, ma'am." The doctor told her. "Right now we need to run some tests. But you'll see him within the hour, I promise you."
"Tests?" Franny started to panic. "Why do you need to run any tests on him? He's fine, isn't he?"
"Of course." The doctor assured her. "This is just standard procedure. As well, you had a slightly difficult birth, so we need to be sure that nothing inside of him was harmed."
"OK." Franny calmed down.
"Don't worry, honey." Cornelius assured her. "He'll be fine."
"I know he'll be." Franny smiled up at her husband.
About an hour later, the doctors brought Wilbur back in, and handed him to Franny.
"He's so beautiful." Franny sighed.
"Yeah." Cornelius agreed.
"Oh!" Franny exclaimed suddenly. "I just realized….. We don't have a name for him!"
Cornelius smiled. "What about Wilbur?" He asked.
"Wilbur?" Franny questioned.
"Yeah." Cornelius grinned. "Wilbur Time Robinson."
"Time?" Franny looked up at her husband. "Why Time?"
"Because," Cornelius told her gently. "I have feeling he'll give me the idea for my best invention yet."
And we're done! Let me tell you, it wasn't easy coming up with Wilbur's middle name! I wanted it to be something that related to Lewis and Wilbur's adventures. And then I realized, Time was the perfect middle name. Plus, it goes with the whole 'Captain Time Travel' thing.
You know, I might continue this as a Wilbur growing up thing. Maybe. You'll just have to wait and see.
Penelope, over and out!
