Miguel: Okay, I'll be over just as soon as I can, okay?

The scene pans back to Miguel talking into his cell phone as he types at the computer at his office. The scene then switches to Sabrina at home sitting at the table cross-legged, twirling the phone cord around her finger.

Sabrina: You'd better.. Amy isn't in the best of moods, a conversation with her is like a minefield. I think her hormones are getting the better of her.

Miguel:[smiles] Isn't that what got her in that predicament in the first place?

Sabrina:[cracks a smile] Just get your striped butt over here, okay. I love you.

Miguel: I'd hope so. Love ya too gypsy-gal. Later.[hangs up]

Sabrina: [walks over and hangs the phone up] Whew, this way if Amy tries to kill me or Thomas.. we'll have a witness.

Thomas:[has a pot stuck on his head] That way if things get bad.. the 3 of us can try to overpower her.

Sabrina: [crosses her arms and smirks] Let me guess…. You tried to help out with dinner huh?

Thomas: I just dropped the spoon.. honest..[trembles] She's not a woman.. she's a raging beast!!!

Amy:[head pops in and snarls at Thomas] WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!

Thomas: Um..nothing .[looks at Sabrina] I saw her rip a frying pan in half with her bear hands.. I'm scared.

Sabrina:[removes the pot from his head] We're all scared Thomas.. trust me. Man…[thinks to herself] I never knew hormones would turn ugly.

After setting the table Sabrina hears the door bell and rushes over to answer the door. She fixes herself up a bit then opens the door. Miguel stands with a smile on his face.

Sabrina:[narrows her eyes] What's wrong?

Miguel: Huh?![sweating] What makes you think something is wrong?

Sabrina:[crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow] You NEVER smile.[shakes her head] Sorry tiger.. just Amy has us all on DEFCON 5. Come on in.

Miguel follows Sabrina rather wearily. Just as they get to the table Amy exits the kitchen. Miguel has not seen her in a while and her pregnancy is clearly MORE visible now than the last time he saw her.

Miguel: [eyes widen as he sees Amy]OH MY GOD!!![Amy glares with a killing gaze as Sabrina turns white as a sheet and Thomas waves his hands to try to alert Miguel of the danger in what he's doing]Man. Amy.. are you sure your pregnant? I mean geez.. you still have your great figure.[Amy looks at him puzzled] Maybe you just have a really small fetus. Let me look at you from the side[walks around her] WOW!! Where'd you go?

Amy:[smiles then looks at Thomas] See that's the PROPER way to lie to me.[looks back at Miguel] Have a seat you.

Miguel: Don't mind if I do.[sits] God.. do you guys have anything strong I can drink.[trembles all over]

Sabrina: Way to think on your feet tiger.[giggles]

Miguel: I've had experience trust me.

Sabrina:[raises an eyebrow] Really now?

Miguel: Um[sweating] Not that I'd lie to you or anything.. just.. um I have family who are pregnant..[ears lower] ALL THE TIME.

Sabrina: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Later, everyone sits down to dinner or rather they try as they all see Amy pack away tons of things from her plate.. lots of things that do NOT normally go together.

Miguel: You know drowning stuff in ketchup just kills the taste.

Amy: Thanks but I'm not concerned with taste right now.[snatches stuff from Thomas's plate]

Thomas: [sweating] Um.. that….. that was mine…I was gonna eat..[Amy glares at him] um.. go ahead.. eat in good health.

Miguel: Sorry just..I never saw anyone smother their food, even their dinner rolls, with ketchup before. Hate to see what you do with dessert.[Sabrina kicks him under the table]OW!! Um anyway… so my mom…

Sabrina:[her ears lower and she frowns] Oh yes let's talk about something even MORE pleasant.

Miguel:[gives Sabrina a look] ANYway… it seems she's been bugging me less and less. Seems she has someone new to hang out with. Major plus if you ask me.

Sabrina: Seems to be going around.. my mom's been out a lot and I've been with Tabitha a lot lately.[takes a drink]

Tabitha:[sitting next to Sabrina] Yupers!!

Sabrina:[sees Tabitha then spits out her drink] TABITHA!?!?! When did you get here?!!??

Tabitha: When you and Mizz Amy were fighting over the foods.[giggles] Hwere!![hands her a note]

Sabrina:[opens the letter] "Dear Sabrina… am going out.. no time to chat so I wrote this letter.. and slipped Tabitha in. Hope you don't mind. Love Mom. P. S. When are you going to start dressing better." WHAT?!?! MOM!!!

Miguel:[looking over Sabrina's shoulder] Hey cute kitty.

Tabitha: YEAH!! I drew it while I wuz waitin for Sabeena to notice me.

Sabrina: Dress better?!?!? I happen to think I look very nice!!! Geez!!

Miguel: No arguments here.

Tabitha: Yah.. so what if you dwess all unpwetty. I stiil luv you.

Sabrina: [glares a Tabitha] How'd you like to be the next main coarse?

Tabitha: EEEEK!![runs behind Miguel]

Miguel:[pats Tabitha on the head with his tail] Listen Gypsygal.. you're mom's just expressing an opinion. All parents wish their kids dressed better. My mom can't complain cause she got me this Chinese shirt.. so she feels it's her fault for getting me hooked so she keeps her yap shut. Although she has stated that if I did dress better..I'd probably attract a better woman than that polecat of harlot I choose to waste all my time on.[Sabrina shrivels up her face in a mean glare] Um.. those are HER words.. not mine.. um.. I think she means that in a good way.

Tabitha: Miggy?[tugs at his shirt] Whuza harlot?

Miguel: Um..[sweating] How rude of us.. Thomas, Amy.. we're hogging all the attention.

Thomas:[drinking from his cup] It's okay.. we're rather enjoying all of this.

Amy:[eating] Sorta like dinner theater really.

Miguel: I hope you end up with Quintuplets!![glares at them]

Sabrina sits with her hands on her knees and sighs. Miguel looks at her a bit sad. He wishes there was something he could do to make thing better. He wishes that SOMETHING would happen to make them forget all of this. And then.. as if on cue..

Tabitha: Mizz Amy.. did you spill your dwink.. the floor is all wet.

Amy:[clenching her napkin] OH GOD MY WATER BROKE!!!

Tabitha: That's okay.. Sabeena.. can you get Mizz Amy anotha watah pleaze? Her's broked.

Thomas: [gets to his feet in a flash] Oh my god!! It's time!!

Sabrina:[picks up Tabitha] Aw geez!!

Miguel:[looks at the reader] Sigh..I really got be careful what I wish for don't I?

Meanwhile….

Hilda: Odd.. I can't seem to keep my husband IN the house.

Endora:[sitting at the table] And I can't seem to get my husband to get OUT of the house.[looks over] Boy they are talking their ears off aren't they?

Hilda: Yes indeed.[smiles] Hey.. don't make me have to separate you two!!

In a corner on the sofa sit Arturo Tigre and Sabrina's father Warren. They say nothing and do not look at each other. Endora and Hilda look at each other and bust out laughing.

Arturo: You DO know they're laughing at us right?

Warren: [looks at Arturo] Isn't that always the way?

Arturo: [looks at him] You too?

Warren: All the time. [extends his hand] I'm Warren.

Arturo: You can call me Art.[looks over at Hilda and Endora who are still laughing] Let's make a break for it.

Warren:[runs off] Right behind you.

Meanwhile,….

Miguel:[running along side Amy who is in a wheel chair] Hey glad to see you made it back. You didn't miss much… just Sabrina's driving. Boy she puts Steve McQueen to shame. Let's get a look at that parking job shall we?

Sabrina is driving at full speed towards the hospital. She hits the breaks and spins the wheel as the car swerves and parks perfectly parallel to the curb.

Miguel: Hey she gets a 10 from me. OWW OWW OWW!![Amy is grabbing his hand and crushing it] Hey.. let go.. Grab Thomas's hand.. he did this to you!!!!

Amy: He's right!! [growls and latches on to Thomas's hand as the sound of bones cracking is heard]

Thomas: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!![drops to his knees and is dragged along side the wheelchair]

Miguel:[flails his hand around madly] Man.. I think she fused my fingers together.

Sabrina: Think she'll be okay?[watches Amy and Thomas go behind some swinging doors]

Miguel: Um yeah.. [puts his arm around her] but I'd pray for Thomas right now.

Sabrina:[places her hand on his on her shoulder] I guess.[eyes open wide then looks around] Um… Miguel.. you did remember to get Tabitha right?

Miguel: [looks at her] Um I thought you got her?

Sabrina: Aw crap..I knew it was too quiet!!![runs off]

Miguel: Hey wait!!!![dashes off after her]

Tabitha: [waiting outside of Sabrina and Amy's place near the curb] I hope they wemember to come back for me.[sits on the curb and rests her head in her hands] Sigh.

Yet again.. meanwhile…. In Arturo's garage, which has been turned into a safe haven for now.

Warren: No offense. But.. what's it like.. having a spouse of a different species?

Arturo: Not much to it really.. they're the same as everyone else. Although… there are times when I find her looking good.. on a whole other level..[grins] I have to keep myself from eating her.

Warren:[sweating] Um..

Arturo: I'm joking. Although sometimes.. like now..I do feel like biting her head off.

Warren: [leans against the table] Sometimes I wish I could do that.. and I'm not joking.

Arturo: [snickers] It's normal.. only difference is.. people wouldn't think different if I did it. A perk to being a carnivore. [nods]

Warren: And you're children? Um.. are they?

Arturo: Freaks?[raises an eyebrow]

Warren: That's not what I meant.

Arturo: No.. only our first born.. he turned out a white tiger. We believe as a result to being a half-breed. But we all are. My mother is a skunk like you two..and my father is a lion.

Warren: Honestly?[looks a bit puzzled] then why is you're last name.. Tigre?

Arturo: Well cause his father was a tiger.. and his mother was a lioness. Heh.. my wife's mother is a roo/wolf hybrid.. and her father was a panda.

Warren: Odd. So I guess you have something in common. Still it seems odd.

Arturo: Well let me ask you this. Do you love Endora?

Warren: Honestly? Yes…. Yes I do.

Arturo: Would you feelings change if one day she woke up.. a wolf.. a cat.. maybe a rabbit?

Warren: [thinks then smiles] No..I guess not. But still… it's a bit uncommon.

Arturo: Back in our day maybe.. but now a days.. in this new bold era and time.. no one gives it a second thought. Love is love, my friend.. and it really shouldn't matter to anyone but the people in love.

Warren: I suppose you're right. You're very open minded art.

Arturo: You'd have to be… when you're married to my wife.. it helps.. trust me.

Warren: [cracks a smile] Yes.. I think it works with all wives. Makes living with them.. a LOT easier.

The door to the garage opens and Endora and Hilda glare at them. Arturo and Warren stand there sweating.

Endora: Aha.. found you.

Hilda: And what were you two doing in here?[crosses her arms]

Arturo: Um…….. talking about cars?

Hilda: Figures.[rolls her eyes]

Endora: [shakes her head] I doubt men EVER have an deep conversations… let alone talk about anything insightful.

Arturo: Yup.. you have us down pat hon.

Warren:[looks at Arturo and grins] Guess we'll never surprise you two.

Okay last time.. meanwhile……

Sabrina:[sitting in the waiting room resting her head in her hands] God they've been in there a long time.. I hope everything is okay.

Miguel:[has Tabitha asleep in her arms] I'm sure everything is.. sides.. she's in a hospital, what could go wrong? [thinks] Shut up!!

Sabrina:[looks at him] Who are you talking to?

Miguel: My cynicism. It came up with 56 things in a blink of an eye.

Sabrina: Sigh.. I wonder what it would be like?

Miguel: Awful.. a lot of times I'm right.. and God can I rain on a parade.

Sabrina: [frowns] I'm not talking about you're pessimistic views…. I mean.. having a child.[rests her head back in her hands]

Miguel: First of all, I prefer to be called a "realist' as I'm usually right.. and two.. what's got you thinking so far ahead mi amor?

Sabrina: [rests her head on one hand and looks at him] I think about it a lot really. Even during sex.. used to bug the hell out of Michael.

Miguel:[winces] You know I DO NOT like hearing about your past exploits with….

Sabrina: [socks him in the arm] I was stating something okay? I didn't mean it like..[sighs and rests her head in her hands again and faces forward] Oh never mind.

Miguel:[sets Tabitha down on a chair and covers her with his Chinese shirt] You really think about having kids with me?

Sabrina:[grins and sits up] I said having a child.. I didn't exactly mean with you. [Miguel slumps his shoulders] Hey I'm joking. [smiles at him] Who else would I have kids with?

Miguel:[looks at the reader then rubs his arm and looks away] I'll tell you a story sometime.

Sabrina: [raises an eyebrow] This one involve a Foxx too?

Miguel: Not even close hon.[shakes his head and leans his head back] Sides you're better off….. my kid would end up a freak.. full of genetic sicknesses from being such a genetic strain.

Sabrina:[looks at him rather concerned] What makes you say that?

Miguel: Doctors find all kinda of defects with hybrid children.. it's not like in the old days when they'd be sterile are such.. nowadays it's horrible sicknesses.. genetic defects and such. And it gets worse for those who are further genetic strains like myself who have multi-species blood in them to begin with. The more mixed you are the greater your chances are of getting such a genetic sickness.

Sabrina: This.. from you?

Miguel:[looks at her] And "I" look normal to you?

Sabrina:[laughs] I didn't know low self esteem was a sickness? [leans her head on him] There'll be nothing wrong with our kid.. nothing at all.

Miguel: Yeah..[kisses her on the head] I'll make sure of that.[looks down as he recalls a few days ago]

The scene changes to a flashback in a lab. There Ebony's older brother Tobais sits with Miguel. Tobais looks at Miguel rather sadly.

Miguel: I don't care…. Just do what you can.

Tobais: Listen Miguel… if we do unlock the defect.. it would take a while.. a year even. Gene Therapy is still very new.. we're barely unlocking all the codes in DNA.

Miguel: Yeah..I'd be gone before you'd find a cure.. but.. it's not for me.

Tobais: Go on.

Miguel: If someone else.. like.. some friends of mine.. Amy and Thomas.. they're two different species.. if their kid or anyone else's kid.. came out with this sickness… then.. if I can help them.. from.. if I can prevent this from happening to anyone else.. then…

Tobais: From the blood and the tests we've run on you….. we'd find a cure sure enough.. or at least a treatment for them. It's very noble.. very noble what you are doing Miguel. Even in knowing.. you can't save yourself.

Miguel: What good would it do me anyway Tobais…. the tumor in my brain would kill me anyway.[trembles] Just.. just promise me…that…. no one else will have to go through what I'm going through.

Tobais: I'll do everything I can.. to keep this promise.[pat him on the back] You gonna be okay?

Miguel: [nods, wiping his eyes] Yeah.. you know me.. I'm always bouncing back. [looks at Tobais] Do me a favor.. don't tell Ebony okay?

Tobais: If that's what you wish. [lowers his head] I feel so bad Miguel.

Miguel: [places his hand on his shoulder] Tobais.. going into this field.. you knew you couldn't save everyone.

Tobais: Yes.. but I never expected it to be… someone close to me. I just feel like I failed you.

Miguel: If you give up.. then you have. Do what you do.. find a treatment.. save other people.. succeed that way. Tobias… I don't feel you've failed me. I know if you could.. you'd stare down death itself to save me. Sides you're not the one dying.. and I still haven't given up.. and neither should you.

Tobais: [chokes] Right. [tries to keep from crying] But I'll make sure people know what you did Miguel. I'll make sure everyone who's saved by this knows to thank you.

Miguel: Sigh.. figures.. I finally get respected.. and I won't be around to hear it.

Tobais: [tries his best to smile] Or bitch about it.

Miguel: That is so true.[hits in him the shoulder] Smart ass!!!

Miguel's flashback is interrupted by a nurse who walks up to them. They are told that Amy is fine and that she has had a baby boy. A bit later Sabrina, Miguel and Tabitha, carried in Miguel's arms, walk in and see the new happy parents with their baby.

Miguel: Awww, he's so cute. Half squirrel half wolf.. heh.. perfect predator, he can chase prey up trees.

Sabrina: Oh stop it.[looks at the new baby] He's so adorable. Can I hold him?[Amy hands him to Sabrina who holds him close]

Miguel: And to think.. you guys forgot about getting married before the baby was born.

Amy and Thomas turns pale then look at each other. Sabrina glares at Miguel who suddenly feels very sorry he reminded them.

Miguel:[frowns as his ears lower] Crap.. I really gotta keep my mouth shut from now on.

Later, Amy was left alone to get some rest. Thomas went to go call his folks and tell them the news. Sabrina went to go take Tabitha to the bathroom as Miguel found himself wandering around. He found himself at the nursery looking at all the babies. He smiled as he found Timothy fast asleep. He sighs and rests his head against the window.

Miguel: Hey Timmy boy rough day huh? Still bet your happy to be out now huh? You get to see the world for the first time.. and take in all it's wonders.. then.. like everyone else.. you grow up and take them for granted. You and I have something in common bud… we're hybrids.. I more than you.. but still.. you dad's one too. I envy your dad..I really do. See he has you.. and me……?[bits his lip] I'll never know what it's like to have kids. To hold them in my arms.. and watch them grow up. I don't have enough time.[closes his eyes and sighs] I'd give everything thing I have.. to just have more time.. to at least see one child of mine born. But they'd grow up.. and forget me.. not remembering how I held them.. and played with them for as long as I could. They'd be too young to remember. Ever since I can remember.. I've wanted to be a father.. I don't know why.. but I did. I guess I just wanted.. someone who would need me.. love me no matter what. It probably sounds silly to you.. shoot it sounds crazy to me. and I'm grown up. But… you're on my to do list buddy. I'm going to make sure.. along with your parents that you are happy and safe. You can be… .. you can help me live out my dream.. to have someone to care for. You won't remember me.. I know.. but maybe… someday.. you might.. or maybe.. your folks will tell you about me. I wanna touch as many people as I can … and I want you to learn this.. cause when you touch people.. you are remembered.. and you live on.. even after death.. cause when you're forgotten… you are truly dead. I wish you the best of luck little guy. You're starting out in a world I wanted so badly to leave years ago.. and now.. I find myself wanting to be where you are now.[opens his eyes and sees Sabrina approaching with Tabitha] We'll talk more later..I promise. Bye for now.[presses his hand against the glass and sighs as he heads towards the girls.]
