Crossover Challenge Reminder Time
Part Two
Betty Kouba
Several hours later, Steve, Arms,
Granddad Williams and Duke were all waiting for news of Caterina.
She had gone into early labor and now it was time to wait for the news if
she is giving birth to sons or daughters or both.
The Williams had chosen not to find out the sex of the twins before the
actual birth.
Steve paced the floor snapping his
fingers wondering “why was it taking so
long?” He knew the answer but
it just seemed liked it was taking forever.
“Is this what Jonathan went
through twenty-eight years old the day Kitten was born?”
He was actually nervous about this birth.
Very concerned for the three people in that delivery room.
Would everyone be all right?
Oh how Steve wanted to storm into that room and see what as going on and
it took all of his reserves to remain where he was and stay cool, calm and
collective. Steve was glad of one
thing, and that was, he was not missing this birth the way he missed Kitten’s.
He smiled with the pride of a grandfather in the making any second
now.
Steve’s finger snapping was on
Duke last nerve. He wanted to get
up and order him to stop it, but knew better then that. He had gone through this experience several times himself
with his own children, plus his nieces and nephews.
Daniel Williams sat there so
patiently and watched those around him. It
had been a long time since he waited for the new born to come into the world but
pacing didn’t help. He continued
to seat and read his book.
“How can you be so calm at a
time like this?” Steve questioned
Daniel.
“Because Stephen, I’ve been
through this before. Several times
before.” Daniel loved to get
Steve’s goat whenever he could. They
started this conflict fifteen years plus ago, but when it came to Caterina,
neither one of them would give into the others wishes easily but in the end,
they always did what was best for Caterina.
Arms laughed as Granddad Williams
and Steve confronted each other one more time.
For years now he had watched these two bullheaded men go at it.
Then Arms thought about the * fact that he due to go through this
himself in about six months. The
waiting period for his first child to be born and he would be butting heads with
his father-in-law. *
“Danny, is everything okay?”
Arms was the first to spot the exhausted Dan come into the waiting room.
“Yeah Arms, Catie is fine, and everything is fine for the moment.” Dan replied while he wiped the sweat off his forehead. “They final got the labor to stop and now my lovely Caterina is in the delivery room with Amanak.” Dan sat down dazed from his nerves.
“Good Danno, then there is no
problem with the twins? Or
Kitten?” Steve questioned with
everyone waited there to find out.
“Yes the twins are fine.
They decided not to listen to the doctor when it was time to come into
the world.” Dan smiled and
everyone agreed that babies are the ones that have the final say when they make
their appearance.
So they waited another half hour
or so before Amanak and Dr. Tankes made an appearance in the doorway.
Dan jumped at hearing Amanak’s
footsteps and Arms was right there at his side for the same reason.
“Congratulations Daddy Williams,
you are the proud Daddy of a beautiful baby boy and baby girl.”
Amanak said before the Doctor could.
“One of each.”
Dan turned to Steve, “I had ONE OF EACH.”
He was flying on cloud nine.
Everyone congratulated him by
shaking his hand and patting him on the back.
“How is Catie?”
Dan final asked.
“Your Wife if fine.
Weak but fine.” Tankes replied. “Mrs.
Williams is going to need the rest we discussed earlier.
She will be staying in the hospital at least a week to recover.
As for your twins, they are perfectly healthy, coming into the world
around six pounds each.”
“Thanks Doc,” the proud Daddy
said, then shook the doctor’s hand. “When
can I see my wife?”
“In a little while, after she is
taken to her room.” Tankes shook Dan’s hand one more time “Congratulations
Mr. Williams,” then he left the room.
Amanak went over to Danny and gave
him a big hug. “Congratulations
Danny, they are both beautiful,” Amanak smiled big.
“Are they?
I can’t wait to see my family.”
Danny was a little nervous and wanted to go and see his family.
“In a few minutes.
They are moving Catie into her room now.”
Arms saw something in his wife’s
body language that she was not telling them.
“Amanak what’s wrong with Catie?”
Everyone turned to look at Arms at
the loaded question.
“Catie’s weaker then expected.
One of the twins started down the birth channel and it took a lot out of
her. She should never have gone to the airport this morning.
It was more then she could handle. Or
she was in labor longer then she let on, allowing her condition to get weaker
than it should have.” Amanak was
not sure which was the truth but she might find out later.
One of the other nurses started
down the hallway and signaled to Amanak that Mrs. Williams was now in her room.
“You can go in and see her now,
Danny, just you for the moment. And
the rest of you can follow me to the nursery to see the twins.”
Amanak headed down the hallway ahead of the small parade.
Arms had noticed a group of
strangers hanging around the maternity waiting room area.
He thought they were there for another patient until they started to
follow the Williams’ party to the nursery.
“And where do you all think you
are going?” He stopped them dead
in their tracks.
“To see the Williams’
twins.” Brad answered.
“I don’t think so at this
time.” Arms was in his full
Sargent stanza blocking the hallway. “I
don’t know you and this a private family time.”
Behind Arms was Duke in his full
authoritative mood as well, backing up Arms.
“Let’s go Brad, we can come
back later when Mrs. Williams is more up to visitors and the family has had
their time with the twins.” Bruce
said and seconded by Diana.
Diana Prince, Bruce Wayne, Britt
Reid and Kato left the hospital.
Peter Parker was on the phone to
Daily Bugle to report the birth of the great grandchildren of multi-billionaire
Daniel Jonathan Williams. He was
able to give the basic details of the birth but did not have all the details
yet.
All the superheroes got into their
private cars in their secret identifies headed for the beach residence to spend
the next two weeks vacationing.
The four cars seemed to play hide
and seek on the roads until they got to the beach house and they all arrived at
the residence within a few minutes of each other. As they unloaded their luggage, it was discovered that the
Realtor in Honolulu screwed up and booked them all into the same large beach
residence in the Waikiki area.
The beach house was huge and could
easily handle all the superheroes because it had eight bedrooms, a large living
room, dinning room, kitchen, two dens and a playroom.
Plus a large patio with green grass at the edge of the brick area,
followed by a large and beautiful ocean.
Upon entering the house, Diana,
Bruce, Britt and Kato were greeted by Barry Allen and Tina McGee.
“What’s going on here?”
Was McGee’s question.
“Good question!!
I rented this place for the next two weeks and no one was suppose to be
here.” Britt told everyone.
“Same here,” was stated by
Diana and Bruce.
Brad headed for the phone to call
the realtor to get the straight facts of why five different sets of reservations
were booked for the same house.
“Hello Honolulu Bay Reality.
Can I help you?”
“Yes, I would like to speak with
Miss Typer.” Brad told the woman
on the end of the phone.
“Hello, this is Miss Typer.”
“Hello, Miss Typer.
This Brad Ritt and I just arrived at the beach house, that I had you
booked for me. Upon arriving here,
I discovered several other individuals were also given reservations for the
house at this time.” Brad was cool on the phone.
He was use to dealing with business people with his job.
“Mr. Ritt, I have no idea why
the house was over booked, but if you give me a minute, I will check into it.”
She put the phone on hold to check on the problem.
“Mr. Ritt, I must apologize to you and the others.
Several the realtors here booked the house for the same time without
marking in the book until today. Which
caused us to over book the house. Unfortunately,
by the time we discovered this error all the parties in question were already in
transit.”
After a short discussion, they all
decided to stay and share the cost of the house and that they would be getting a
refund on their money from the over booking.
Now the two millionaires didn’t
need to be concerned with the money issue, it was just that their better natures
allowed them to share the residences with the less fortunate then themselves.
Just as everyone decided on which
room they wanted and finished settling in, the front door opened.
In walked Clark Kent and Lois Lane, to everyone’s surprise.
They were informed of the problem but after looking out the opened glass
wall to the backyard, both Clark and Lois went to settle into a couple of the
left over rooms.
For the next couple of days,
everyone enjoyed themselves playing beach games and surfing.
They managed to play a few games of tennis and did a lot of site seeing
together.
Meanwhile at the hospital Caterina
was getting stronger and the babies were starting to grow.
Almost everyone at the Police Academy, Five-O, plus a good number of
friends on the force had stopped by to see the new Williams’ family.
Gifts and flowers where sent to the hospital and then taken home nightly
by either Steve or Dan so they would not have to worry about it all on the last
day.
At the end of a week’s stay,
Caterina was finally ready to go home. {Check
out “Welcome Home Williams Family” in the “Be Nice To Danno” Challenge
to see what happened the day Caterina went home from the hospital. http://caterinaw.tripod.com/Challenges/Nice/Babies.htm
}
A couple of days later, Caterina
was on the beach and took in the pleasure of the warm sun and the cool water on
her feet when volleyball rolled over to her.
She looked up to see a tall handsome stranger come over to get it.
“Sorry Miss,” Clark point over
to his friends, “we kind of got a little carried way with our volleyball
game.” He said to Caterina.
“That’s quite all right . .
.” Catie replied.
“I’m Clark Kent from the Daily
Planet.” He offered his hand for
a handshake.
“Hello Clark, it’s nice to
meet you.” Caterina took the
offered hand but used it to help herself up off the beach.
“Thanks for the hand up. My
name is Caterina.” Then she shook
his hand. She noticed it took every
little effort for this muscle man to help her to her feet. In fact, she felt like a child being lifted up by her father.
“You’re welcome.
If I’m not being to nosy but why are you out here if you have a hard
time getting up?” Clark asked
puzzled.
“Because Clark, I have in that
been house,” she point to the
house, “for four months without being allowed to come out on the beach no less
seat on it with my feet in the water.” Caterina
saw a still puzzled look on his face. “Don’t get me wrong, a couple of weeks ago it would have
taken a crane or someone the strength of Superman to get me off the ground.”
She smiled at him.
“Accuse me??????”
Clark wondered why she said it would have taken him to help her up a
couple of weeks ago.
“Sorry,” Caterina started up
the beach with the assistance of Clark. “I’m
a little tired and restless from lack of activity.”
Caterina’s tone of voice sweetened as she chatted with Clark, “I’m
the proud mother of the most beautiful pair of twins.
My physical condition kept me confined to the house during the end of my
pregnancy and I’m still a little weak from the lack of activity.”
Just then, almost on clue DJ started to cry for his mother because it was
feeding time.
“Sounds like a health.
baby??????”
“Yes, they both were born very
healthy. This one is DJ, my son.”
Caterina picked him up as she sat down on the chair.
“An the one still sleeping is Guinevere.”
Just then she started to awaken.
“May I?”
Clark put the ball down in hopes of picking up the baby.
“You can try, but these two seem
very picky about who gets to handle them.”
Clark picked up Guinevere as she
open up her eyes and allowed herself to be handled by this stranger.
“That is unusual.”
Caterine smiled, “She likes you.”
“I’m glad, I like her too.”
Clark smiled. “You are very pretty Guinevere.
I hope you grow up to be as pretty as your mommy is now.”
“I’ll second that opinion.”
Dan said as he came out onto the patio and gave Caterina a kiss on the
cheek.
“Clark Kent of the Daily Planet
this my husband Deputy Chief Dan Williams of Hawaii Five-O.”
Caterina introduced them.
“Nice to meet you Deputy
Chief.” Clark was going to shake
his hand but reconsidered the thought with the baby in his arms.
“Clark? Clark where are you?”
Were the calls from the beach.
“I’m up here.”
Clark said after walking over to the edge of the patio.
Tina, Lois and Diana came up into
the yard.
“Hello again Deputy Chief and
Mrs. Williams.” Diana said.
“Hello again yourself.”
Dan greeted her. “Who are your friends?”
“Lois Lane of Daily Planet,”
was one reply with and extended hand to Dan.
“And this is Tina McGee. We
are staying at the house two residences over.”
“Oh, you are the group that rent
the house on the other side of Uncle Mayor.”
Caterina stated.
“Yes we are.”
Tina replied, “What beautiful babies.
What are their names?”
They chatted for awhile before
Caterina fell asleep in her husband’s arms on the lawn chair.
Upon returning to the house, it
was reported that the superheroes were only two doors over from Williams’
residence, which they only would be spending the next week.
Several of the superheroes started
to get bored with their little vacation and wanted to get back into action
somehow but they were new in Hawaii but never fought crime here with the
exception of Superman.
Lois went hunting around the
island looking for some kind of newsworthy story but failed.
That is until the last three days before they were all due to leave.
Kent was the first one to break
his vacation when unexpected storm hit the area and turned over a sailboat with
a family on it. In a matter of few
moments, the little girl, her parents and their Scottie named Lady Skye were all
safely on the beach.
The Flash was the next to break
vacation, with his super speed. He
helped to save a few people on the beach from the high waves that crashed onto
the beach.
By the time the storm was over,
all the superheroes made an appearance to help out the coastline area of
Honolulu from several near disaster areas.
The Daily Planet, Daily Bugle and
the Daily Sentinel were the first of the mainland newspapers to carry the news
story that Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and the Green
Hornet gave aid and support to the local authorities in the near Tsunami
conditions that brought such superheroes to the rescue of the local Hawaiians
and visitors to Oahu.
From the distance a man watched
the superheroes at work. He made
notes and decided it was time to call in. The
phone rang several times in Washington D.C.
“Hello,” came the voice over
the shoe phone.
“Chief, this is Maxwell Smart,
agent 86. I’m here in Honolulu as
instructed and have found out what you wanted.
Would you believe there are dozens of superheroes out here helping the
Local’s.”
“No Max.”
The Chief shook his head with the knowledge of how Smart overstated the
situations.
“Would you believe that I have
seen the Flash, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Spiderman and the Hornet out
here helping the people who were in danger of losing their lives in the near
Tsunami.” Max told the Chief.
“That would explain the raise in
crime rates in the various areas of the country that those heroes help to
protect.” The Chief had his
answer and now he could report to his boss what was found out.
“The old near Tsunami trick is
what brought them all out into the open.”
Max watched for a few more minutes.
“Wow, what a woman, wonder if she is busy to night?"
“What was that 86?”
Agent 99 asked over the speakerphone.
“Sorry about that 99.”
Max was a little embarrassed at 99 hearing his comment.
He liked that agent just a little too much and didn’t want to hurt her
feelings. “Agent 86 signing off.
I should be back in Washington sometime tomorrow Chief.”
Then the connection was cut by Smart.
The End
This is a WOW – a few more
crossovers into Five-O World. WOW!!!!!!!
In writing this crossover story, I
noticed one thing about our superheroes, if they work for a newspaper the word
“DAILY” in the name of the paper. The Daily Planet {Superman}, The Daily
Bugle {Spiderman} and The Daily Sentinel {The Green Hornet}.
Interesting piece of information.
I will admit it.
I’m guilty of it. When TVLand had the “Get Smart Marathon on” I watched a
good portion of it, which influenced me into writing the conclusion I did.
Any time you want to send Danno over to book me for this, please do.
