Chapter Text
Mackenzie stood there looking down at Bluey, the final contraction was completed and he saw her pass out due to the pain. She was barely moving and her body looked like a much more pale version of herself. And that's when he heard it. He turned his head to see Chilli holding a baby in her arms and covered in blood. He almost didn't believe it but Midnight was here. Bluey had done it, she had given birth to their son. Chilli and a few nurses gathered around the end of the bed and they got to wiping the blood off the screaming child.
“Well, Vino was right, it's a boy.” Chilli said as she handed Midnight to a nurse. Mackenzie stepped closer to the group and saw his son with no blood on his fur for the first time. His black and navy body looked just how Vino described him. The nurses held Midnight to prepare him for the cutting of the cord.
“Do you need scissors?” asked a nurse.
Mackenzie grabbed his Knife and twirled it in his hand. “Nah, I brought my own.” He placed one hand on the cord carefully and used the other to slice it clean off, the nurses took Midnight away to get him checked up on and Mackenzie turned his attention to a struggling Bluey who opened her eyes.
Her vision was foggy and she squinted around to see what was around her but the noise she heard was still enough to wake her up.
“Babe you did it, you really did it. I am so proud of you.” he said while grabbing her hand and coresing it.
“Uggghhhh, I feel woozy.” Just then she realized what happened and her eyes opened back up quicker, the fog was gone and she could see clearly. She saw two of the Nurses doing something in the corner of the room where all the noise was coming from. And after a minute of her focusing on that aerie of the room, the Placenta was also delivered.
Chilli went out of the room to take a shower the hospital provided so she could get herself clean from being in proximity to her daughter’s fluids. When she walked by the family in the waiting room, they all began to cheer because they knew what her stepping out ment.
Back in the delivery room, Mackenzie and Bluey waited in bated breath. Until one of the nurses came back with a bundle in her arms. Bluey reached her arms out and the nurse handed Midnight to her.
“Oh my god… we did it Mackenzie, he's here! He's really here!” Bluey held Midnight in her arms, his head was exactly how Vino predicted. His head had a black base with her navy head color, and he had a little white stripe going down the middle of his head. His eyes were shut, but they would soon open and reveal the most adorable eyes Bluey and Mackenzie had ever seen.
“I love you so much Bluey, and this adorable little gremlin too.” he reached his hand at Midnight and Bluey gave her son one more squeeze before handing the child over. Mackenzie looked down at his son and couldn't do anything but smile. It was still surreal to him that he and Bluey were parents. But it was real now, it was his future, he was holding his son…
Just then, Midnight grabbed hold of Mackenzie’s finger and it made the new father Blush intensely, his mouth hung open a little and a tear started forming in his eye. Because he would never be able to have Midnight meet his parents. The single tear turned into two, then three. He held his son closer, seeing a little bit of his own father in him. He looked back at Bluey and knew she was the most strong and steadfast girl he ever met. His eyes turned back down to his son and he handed the bundle back to Bluey.
“Hey Midnight… it's me… your Mum. I'm so happy you’re here and alive and in my arms. I promise i'll never let you go, and i promise you'll be safe no matter what happens in the future,”
“And I promise you'll have both of us here to guide you. Because you mean the universe to the both of us.”
Bluey and Mackenzie got closer together and the three were inseparable from each other. Chilli came back into the room and her heart melted at the sight of her daughter, son in law, and grandson all together in one place. She pulled out her phone and took a photo of the three.
“Well come on, let me see him.” Chilli said while getting closer to the bed.
“Right, here Mum. look at his eyes.” Bluey said with a smile, altho she didn't want to give Midnight to anybody she still gave him to Chilli.
Chilli looked at the Baby in her arms. Her baby was now a mother and she had reached the title of Nana, it made her tear up just like Mackenzie did and she held her grandson close.
“He looks just like you two. I'm sure if grand dad were here he would be all over this little bugger.” she laughed a little while holding him.
Eventually the family was let into Bluey’s room and Midnight was the star of the show. The triplets were in awe, Frisky and Rad got to hold him. Brandy had a flood of tears in her eyes but she absolutely adored him. Stripe gave Midnight his first ever high five, and Trixie gave him a little hat for his head to keep him warm. Muffin and Socks declined to hold him but were still smiling all the way. Bandit was in the same awe and Chilli and Bingo got to see her nephew for the first time. As for Jack Rusty and Chloe, they had important things to do so they went home.
The Heelers were in full party mode and the room was filled with a quiet hush but a happy sensation all around. A family picture with all of them was about to be taken when suddenly they heard a loud bang.
“What was that?” asked stripe who was closest to the sound.
“I don't know, is it a car crash outside?” asked Frisky.
“Dad, what is that?” socks pointed to a weird looking crack in the air.
Another loud bang was heard. The Heelers all braced for it. Midnight began to cry from the sound, not knowing what it was. And the crack got bigger.
“Oh no, I think I know who it is…” Bluey said knowing that this was most definitely Enigma’s shenanigans.
The crack finally shattered and parts of reality flew across the room. Out stepped the man in a space covered tuxedo and tie. His face was void of a mouth or nose but his deadly purple eyes were cold and lifeless. Enigma stepped out of the portal and in his hand was a glowing orb that was both blue and orange in color. The man looked at the Heelers and began to speak into their minds. Altho Bluey was the only one that could understand his speech clearly.
“ḯ̴̘ ̸̥̕t̸͕̎ö̷̮l̴͖̊d̴̈ͅ ̶͚̋y̷̪͐o̵̦͌ú̸ͅ ̵̲̓y̴̹͐o̷͖̓ǘ̶̳r̸̠͊ ̵̰̋k̶͔̈i̵̹͘n̶̗͐ ̷̜̍w̴̥͘o̵͈̔ú̸̫l̵͌ͅd̸͇͆ ̸̬̀r̶̡͝e̴̙͋t̵̩͑ủ̸̝r̷̺̒ń̸̪,̴͇̈ ̴̦̏ä̴̤ň̸̪d̸̘͘ ̴̬̚ȋ̵̪t̵̹͐ ̷̥͋ḻ̷͒o̴̟͘o̵̻̎k̸̰̐s̶̜̽ ̶̳̃l̷̗̐i̴͉͝k̷̰̄e̷̜̚ ̴̺͋y̷̻̽o̷̫͌u̴͙͒ ̸̝̑h̸̻͑ã̸͙v̵͚́e̴̢̕ ̸̳̂c̸͖̄ȏ̵̪m̸̓͜p̶̥̉ľ̴͇é̶̹t̵̟͐è̴̙d̴͔̕ ̷͚̈́t̵̫͋ẖ̴͝ê̴̳ ̴̜͊p̶̨̐ṛ̴̓e̷̹̕g̷̼͛n̵͚͑å̴͕ṇ̸͛c̷̢̐y̸̨̾.”
“WHAT IS THAT THING?!” Trixie screamed.
“IT'S THE MONSTER I SAW EARLIER WITH BLUEY!!” Mackenzie shouted.
The Heelers all gathered around Bluey and Midnight to protect them. Enigma noticed it and used his other hand to demonstrate just a little bit of his power, he made a gesture with it and all the heelers except Bluey and Midnight were lifted into the air and hit the ceiling.
“d̴͕̂o̷̘͊n̸̗̈́t̵̛̬ ̸͈̐ṫ̸̳ë̸̫́s̷̳̾t̴̪̓ ̵̠́m̶͊ͅy̵̎͜ ̷͍̌a̸̬̕n̴͈̉g̵̲̈́e̸͉͝r̴͈͋,̴͍͒ ̶̲̐i̷̛͖d̴̞͝ ̷̦̐ḩ̴͒a̴͚͊t̴̢̉e̷̝̍ ̴͍̕t̵͙͑ö̵̝ ̵̠̑s̸̮̔h̶̠͆ǎ̵ͅt̶̠̋t̵͎̕e̴͖͆r̴͔͠ ̶̻̇ý̷̮ö̵̞́û̵͎ř̶̗ ̷̨̋s̷̗̓ǒ̷̭u̸͇̅l̵͇̀ş̴̍.” he said coldly. Enigma walked closer to Bluey and looked directly at her.
“What do you want?” she asked the man.
“i̵̧̿ ̴̣̊m̴̥̌a̷͔̔d̸̢̈e̴̝̽ ̵̝̑ȧ̴̤ ̵̯͝p̸̲͆r̵̲͝o̸̹͋m̸͓͛i̴̖͑ș̶͌ē̸̦ ̴̹̽a̵̜̚n̵̖̂d̴͚͠ ̸̭̑i̷͖̋ ̴̪̋ǐ̸̻n̷̻͝t̴̙̾e̸̲͌n̴̼̿ḏ̵̐ ̷͍̈ẗ̶̰o̴̖̎ ̴̢̕k̷͎͋è̴ͅe̷̺̒p̸̡͘ ̵͍͂ḯ̵͜t̴̪̿,̸̳̈ ̸͉̑i̸̼̓t̷̮͗ ̶̞̆ĭ̷̩ṡ̴̻ ̵͖̈t̵̳̅ȋ̷̱m̴͍͑è̵̲ ̶̲͆f̴̢̀o̵̺̓r̷͉͆ ̵͚͝h̷͙̐í̴̤s̶̰̓ ̷̨͆r̶̲͂e̷̩̽ṱ̴̉ů̴͜r̷̥̃ṅ̷͍.” Enigma began to focus on the soul in his hand. He pulled it closer to his center and started speaking in a alien language
“-.-.-- -.-.-- -.-.-- -. .-. ..- - . .-. / -.-- .- -- / .. / - .- .... - / .-. . .-- --- .--. / - -. . .. -.-. -. .- / . .... - / . -.- --- ...- -. .. / .. / -.-.-- -.-.-- -. .-. ..- -... / --- - / . -- --- -.-. / ... .- .... / . -- .. - / -.-- -- / .-.. - --- .-.. --- -..- .-”
It sounded like he was speaking backwards. As if he somehow managed to reverse what he was saying. Once he finished his speech a black colored magic began to surround the soul and caused it to get bigger. The orb took a new form and looked as if it was an unborn baby. It rapidly grew from a fetus to an adult in a few seconds and then opened its eyes.
The dog that stood there had the exact same physical features as the Midnight who was a stillbirth for Bandit and Chilli. He looked like pure power was flowing into his veins and he looked around the room. Suddenly after a few seconds of a magical glow surrounding him, it faded and the dog was now fully alive and breathing.
“What the hell? Enigma what did you just do? Where am i?” he began asking the purple guy.
“i̵̢̔ ̴̳͗r̴̭̾e̵̻̒s̵͓͆ǘ̵̢ř̶̪e̷͉͛c̶͇͘t̴͍̽e̷̱̓d̶̗̓ ̶̬́ỳ̶̧ō̸̟u̵̳̽,̶̬̈ ̴̢̕b̷̬̍è̶̜c̷̜͒a̴̙̾u̵̾ͅs̷͚͝ë̷̱́ ̷̯̇i̷̙̿ ̶̩̓k̶͉̿n̸͇̓o̵͖͋w̷͚͊ ̸͎̈́y̸̠͆o̶̢̚ǘ̷̬ŕ̴͍ ̶̰̕f̸̙̾á̷̞m̷̓͜i̵̘̒l̵̻̃y̷͇̎ ̶̽ͅs̴̼̚t̸̮͂i̷̝͑ļ̷͂ļ̴̀ ̵̲̐c̵̫̄ą̶̛ŗ̴̈́e̴̮̕š̶̫ ̷̥̑ǎ̴̦b̵͓͌o̴̼͋u̸̖͂t̸͎̽ ̶͎̓ÿ̶̺́o̴͐ͅu̷̘͆ ̷̭͠ṳ̶̐ṉ̸͠l̶͖͒ī̸͉k̷̗̕e̵̻̍ ̵̲̿ả̴̪l̵̜̕ŏ̵̩t̴͖̕ ̷̮̕ő̷̻f̶̠̆ ̵̳̓õ̵͍t̷̮́h̸̙̕e̸͈͐r̶͔̓s̶̜͒.̸̠́ ̴̱̈f̷̲̊ö̸̥r̷̩͠ ̵̩͗w̴͈͑ḧ̷̝́a̶̬͊ť̵͉ ̶̈́͜y̷͚̿ó̷͜ȕ̴̻ ̷̱̈́h̴̺̚å̸͕v̷̩̎ę̵̀ ̴̗͊ď̶̠o̸͙͑n̴̦͠ë̸́͜ ̷͓͊ḟ̷̲ó̴͈r̵̡͛ ̵͖̀m̶̩̋ĕ̴͍,̸̑͜ ̶̧̅t̴̟͌h̷̲̒i̷̲̔s̶̺̏ ̴̤͝i̴̛̟s̷̳͐ ̶̲̿t̴͉̂ḧ̷̡́ẹ̴́ ̶̫̇l̷̛͍ę̷̔a̸̛͉s̶̜̊ẗ̷͚́ ̶͑ͅi̶͇͝ ̴̘́ć̶̝ò̵̡ǘ̵̡l̷̖̂d̷̻͛ ̸̣̿d̷̫͆ò̵̢.̸̝̄”
Midnight the adult had been reincarnated by Enigma as a gift for being a good friend. Enigma snapped his fingers and the Heelers floated from the ceiling to the ground slowly. He then spoke more clearly so the family could understand him better.
“i̵ ̸w̸i̴s̵h̶ ̵y̸o̷u̸ ̴w̷e̷l̷l̴ ̵H̴e̷e̴l̸e̸r̸s̴,̸ ̵y̷o̷u̴ ̵k̵n̵o̸w̶ ̷h̷o̵w̶ ̵t̷o̶ ̸c̴o̶n̴t̵a̷c̶t̵ ̵m̶e̷ ̶i̵f̸ ̵t̴h̷i̶n̷g̴s̷ ̴g̵o̶ ̶o̷u̶t̸ ̸o̶f̴ ̴h̷a̵n̵d̷.”
Enigma stepped back into the hole in reality and it reformed as if it never existed. The attention turned from him to Midnight who stood there, he was confused about being alive but that was the least of his problems.
“M-Midnight? Is that you?” Chilli asked the man.
“Hi Mum… I'm home.” he said with a smile. It was hard for Chilli and Bandit to believe it but it was really him, their son… the one that never existed.
“Wait, how did that just happen?” Bandit said, questioning this entire situation.
“Look Enigma is a friend and I guess he gave me the chance to be alive with you guys. If you need me to prove who I say I am then how about I start talking about the albino incident.”
“Ok, it's definitely Midnight, he is the only one other than us who knows about that.” Bandit said haphazardly, not wanting to bring that topic up.
“This is amazing, you're really here?” Bluey asked her older brother.
“Well if that's true then i think i'm gonna need a different name than Midnight.” he replied
Bingo had never heard of Midnight as an older brother before but she was the first to embrace him.
“Well whoever you are, welcome back.” she said, giving him a tight hug.
“Thanks Bingo, i guess i finally get to meet you all in person…”
The Older Midnight had a small crowd surrounding him and the family continued to speak of how he was here. But that all didn't matter, what mattered was the fact the Heeler family just had two new additions come in.
“You know what, I think I have an idea for a name you could go by.” Mackenzie said to the adult Midnight that made his way over to the two new parents.
“What's that?”
“How about, Cosmic? It's the name of one of my Dad's friends who was there at their wedding.”
“You know what? I like it… Cosmic… you guys are fine if i go by that instead of Midnight?” he said, turning to the crowd behind him.
“Absolutely, we're just glad to have you back!” Bandit said, happy that his son and Grandson were no distinguishable.
The rest of the night was sound, everyone went to bed because it was 2 in the morning and they all needed sleep, especially Bluey.
About 3 months later…
It was 4 in the morning and all was relatively calm in the house. Until it wasn't…
Midnight had woken up crying in his Cot. The sound penetrated Mackenzie and Bluey’s ears and the ladder started to get up and go deal with it. It was the exact same day that one year ago, marked the road trip’s beginning.
“Babe, let me go handle him, probably just another middle of the night Nappy swap.” Mackenzie said groggily.
“I've got it, Border boy, you have an important job tomorrow so I'll handle it, go back to bed.” Bluey left the room and walked down the halls slowly and tiredly. Eventually she got to Midnight’s nursery, the door had a wooden crescent moon on it and she opened the door. Looking into the room, she saw Midnight squirming, tossing, turning, and doing other things in the Cot.
She made her way over and picked up the child out of the wooden structure and checked to see what he needed.
“Lets see, your Nappy is clean, perhaps you’re hungry? She brought him over to the kitchen and thankfully he was crying less but still firing the waterworks. She didn't have the fortunate ability to lactate due to Midnight never latching. However, the formula was still viable and so she chose to feed him with it. After a little bit of time, she had a bottle of milk in her hand and proceeded to feed her son. The little one chugged the entire bottle in one sitting.
After she burped him, she made her way back to the nursery but he was still awake. The little one made her feel nothing but love for his existence. She sat down on the chair in the nursery and cradled him so he would fall asleep.
“You know, you are so special to me. I know you don't know what I'm saying but I'm sure you will someday. Someday you'll be running around in a field with your friends and you'll be able to do so much. I love you Midnight, and even if you were an accident, you're a happy accident. And you came into your Nana’s Grand Dad’s Auntie Bingo’s, Daddy’s and Mommy’s life…
Completely Out of The Blue…”
THE END
