It was a fairly easy and quick delivery; thankfully Mrs. Parr had had the insight to arrange for a fellow super to be the doctor. For about thirty minutes into labor Violet turned invisible, this didn't faze Dr. Carver in the least. He saw the head and that's all he needed. Though it was a disturbing image to say the least, ever see a baby slither out of thin air? Not pretty, but what birth is?
Forty minutes later some random nurse was handing a swaddled baby boy to the beaming father. Both husband and wife had decided against knowing the gender beforehand, Buddy was pleased. Sure, most dads wanted some little girl to spoil but Buddy? Naw, he always dreamed of… well, a sidekick… Hey, dreams die-hard.
But all thoughts of world domination and such vanished as Buddy gazed into the piercing blue eyes of his little boy, he may have had his dad's eyes but he definitely had Violet's dark hair and strikingly pale skin. Tiny fingers grasped Buddy's calloused ones. Mr. Pine couldn't be prouder, and that's something for his ego!
Violet, now visible, stretched her still shaking arms out toward the babe, Helen rushed to get Bob and the rest of the Parr family. Violet swept fiercely at the free flowing tears to get a non-blurred look at her, no "their", son. She chuckled.
"Oh, he has my eyes!" She said gleefully, beaming a smile towards Buddy, he smiled in return, and then frowned.
"Sweetie, you must be tiered, he has "my" eyes." Buddy leaned over her shoulder to point out the obvious, only to retract his pointing finger when he was met with glittering green eyes. Both new parents blinked at one another, dumbfounded.
At that moment Dash burst through the doors and hopped up onto the bed to get a better look at his nephew, Bob and Jack not far behind with Helen after them, crying into a soaked tissue. Bob, completely forgetting about all previous disagreements grinned down at his grandson and even jovially slapped Buddy across the back, and while it was meant to be gentle it still displaced the redhead by about an inch. But there were no bad feelings today.
"Dash, go get the doctor, please." Violet lightly said while still staring at the smiling newborn. Helen looked worried at this, "What's wrong Vie?" Bob too looked put off by his daughter's request, but Violet had her eyes locked on the boy, then she gasped. Buddy leaned in closer to try and see what she had seen, there was a glimmer, or a shimmer, or something close to what his first hologram attempt had looked like, their son was… was flickering? Again both parents looked at each other in confusion. Meanwhile Dr. Carver came in. "Something wrong? He isn't feeding? The nurse will be in soon to…" Buddy pointed at the babe and looked sternly at the Doc, "What's he doing?" All in the room took a real close look at the still smiling baby brunette.
"I…. don't see anything wrong here…" Right then one of the previous small shimmers turned into a full out shift of the boy, in an instant there were two identical kids, the only difference being one had blue eyes and the other green, they giggled at one another. "Oh…" was all the doctor had to say as he shifted his glasses. Bob again slapped Buddy on the back. "Well I guess your genes didn't ruin my grandchildren anyways! We have supers here gang!" Bob looked as though he were going to burst with joy. Buddy's eye twitched, more at Bob then at the revelation, he long ago had accepted the possibility, he had decided to embrace it. But twins? A gasp echoed around the room. Er… Triplets? Another shift had happened and now there were three little ones, all crowded in a very stunned Violet's arms. This one with violet eyes, of course.
And now… They all cried. Violet looked like a dear in the headlights, the doctor looked like he was rethinking his choice in profession, Bob looked even happier, and Helen looked like she was still crying, which she was. "Uh, I think he, eh, they are hungry?" Buddy suggested off hand and shrugged at the doctor who just nodded his head. "Violet? Vie?" Buddy snapped his fingers twice before her eyes focused. "Yes! Okay, ya… Um… Can I get some privacy?" The doctor murmured something about another patient to see and Bob and the boys were shooed out of the room by Helen who smiled between sniffles and hugged her daughter before closing the door behind her. Violet looked to Buddy and mouthed, "Triplets?" He snickered, "Well at least you didn't have to give birth to all of them." She cracked a small smile at this before attempting to get the babe with green eyes to suckle, no such luck, he wouldn't take, "Try your look-alike." Buddy gestured as he picked up little emerald eyes. Violet agreed and tried with the next child, again, nothing, she sighed and tried the finial baby. Third times a charm?
At last, success! As soon as he latched on the other two quitted their crying and calmed down. Buddy and Violet simply shrugged. Then there was suddenly just one baby, one tiny tot guzzling down the meal. With each blink a new eye color came through: green, violet, or blue. Violet let out an exhausted sigh and leaned back against the headboard. "What have we gotten ourselves into?" Buddy bent down and kissed the new mother lightly on the lips, "A lot of fun if you ask me." A classic Pine smile gracing his freckled cheeks.
An hour later the Parrs came back, Helen cooed over the now sleeping child. Bob still wore a mile-wide grin and Dash and Jack kept asking questions about their nephew(s). Neither parent could answer many since they themselves were at a loss for words. Thankfully Dr. Carver entered the room to save them both.
"So I've been doing some research, and…" He shifted his glasses, "You are the proud new parents of a Trilogy!" At this he smiled, obviously expecting some sort of cheerful response but was met only with blank stares. He coughed, "Yes, well, a Trilogy is a rare type of super, it, or they, are actually one body that has three souls, personalities, minds, in one." Buddy raised a hand, "So what's with the three bodies?" he said sarcastically. "Um, well, you see that's their power, they can, er, project projections of themselves, really anywhere within eyesight, but I think they can sustain the projection over long distances, it just has to originate within view… You see…" Buddy again interrupted, "Okay, okay, genius…" he drawled out, "We get the picture, a three in one deal, right?" Dr. Carver gulped and nodded. Buddy tilted his head in thought then smiled at Violet, "Cool." She laughed. Helen quipped up, "What are their names?"
The pair had only thought of one name for a boy, Eugenie, a family name from Buddy's side. They decided a nickname could be Gen. But that left the other two. The Syndrome side of Pine came out and he suggested Renegade, Ren for short. Violet snorted but accepted the offer and countered with Sinbad, she had recently taken an extensive course on myths and legends, so Sin for short. The total being Ren, Gen, and Sin… What horrible parents…
