Broken Pieces-Chp95

[The trio made their way to the living room where Loathe usually hangs out with Grimm for tea]

Wander: (thinks; hopefully those gifts worked, so they too can have children. ^^)

Hater: [shows up] Heya guys, how's it hanging?

Grimm: Wanda!! [runs to hug him]

Loathe: There's our favourite bro-in-law!! [joined the group hug]

Hater: Why does this feel painfully familiar? =3=**

Wander: o.o (surprised, but smiles) Did those gifts work for you two? :)

Peepers: Hm? (looks at Hater, confused)

[Both of them looked at each other n replied]: YES!

Grimm: Dr Trouble just confirmed I'm 4 mths along. Didn't noticed I was pregnant until I realize I was eating double my weight

Loathe: N I'm 3 weeks pregnant! Both Grimm n I just got the good news frm Dr Trouble a few hours ago! Thank u, thank u, thank u so much, Wandy~!

Wander: :D Happy for you both! Aren't we, Hatey?

Peepers: (still looking at Hater for an answer)

Hater: [realized Peepers was looking at him] Yeah, that's how it feels wen my parents talked to us. They literally bypass me in favour of them, like I was thin air. But yeah, of course I'm happy for u two, thanks for asking,

Grimm: Oh sorry, Hater. Didn't mean to ignore u too [hugs him] Ur wife is heaven sent, bro. Don't ever let him go

Loathe: Thank u, thank u so much... [cries tears of joy as she still hugged Wander] ;(

Wander: (hugs her back, smiling till he glanced up, seeing Fury in the doorway watching the whole thing)

Hater: [sees him too] Oh, Father. Wat r u doing here?

Fury: I just so happen to pass by wen I heard u. Is it true? Both of u r pregnant?

Grimm: Yup, thanks to Hater's wife

Wander: (smiles) Never hurts to help, sir...(thinks) Or...am I allowed to call you 'Father'?

Fury: Ur allowed to call me anything u like, but I'm glad ur my son in law [hugged the nomad] U made a good pick, Hater

Hater: Thanks, Father [scratched his chin, not used to the praise now that he's gotten it]

Wander: (hugs Fury) ^^

Peepers: (doesn't want to spoil the sweet moment, but cleared throat a little to try and get to the subject they came in here for)

Hater: [remembered] Oh right, Loathe. We've been meaning to ask u abt Brad

Loathe: Brad? Is he OK?

Peepers: We've had twins...but we still need to figure how to rid of the collar.

Loathe: Oh wow, congrats. But yeah, like I said before, albeit rather meanly--sorry abt that--I recognize the collar n its handiwork. Its by Smog the Salacious

Peepers: It's alright... ? Smog?

Loathe: Yeah, Smog. Bit of a second-rate sorceror who works for hire, tho his magics are no joke. He's currently a favourite for his client Ash'mund, famed underground slave trader frm Planet Gusari, makes his millions in trading to planets tht still practice slavery

Hater: Ash'mund? Does he look like this? [shows them a picture of the slave trader alien he snapshot frm Brad's memories]

Loathe; Oh yeah, tht's him alright. Where did u get this pic of him? He's been evading the Universe Guards for almost a decade now, no one knws how he looks like today, let alone if he evn exists

Peepers: We had a brain scanner, which we used on Brad when we saved him.

Loathe: I see. Well that's as much as I knw abt him. He n Ash'mund r pretty illusive ppl. Finding them is like trying to find a needle in a haystack

Hater: We'll just hv to start frm the middleman. We need to go bk to the planet where Peepers bought him n track the auctioneer dwn

Wander: And put a stop to him before he does this with anyone else...

Loathe: I doubt it can completely stop slavery, since there are still a bunch of planets in the nine galaxies that practice slavery, but at least we can put a dent in the business

Hater: It's better than not doing anything, I suppose. Wen should we do this?

Carly: Peepers: And what possible way to halt his actions?

Loathe: This guy deals with magic, so it has to be something counteractive. I could come with u. I'm the co-ruler of the third galaxy, I've got plenty of sources

Grimm: U can't, u just got pregnant, sis

Loathe: So are u, so u can't either

Hater: Guys, I can't possibly ask any of u to do this. Its our problem to deal with

Wander: (looks at Hater)... I can help you out, Hater.

Hater: No, Wander. The litters need their mother. U n Sylvia hv to stay to look after the kids. Its best if I bring Peepers n Awesome n some of the Watchdogs with me

Fury: And me

Hater: Father...?

Fury: I've ignored n abandoned u long enough, n I'll be damned if I lose u again on this suicide mission. I'm a Skeletor n the ex-ruler of this planet after all. I also hv my own sources. I can be of use to u, son

Wander: :( But if you die out there...

Hater: I won't, my star. I can hold my own. Lord Hater No1 Superstar, remember?

Fury: N we'll keep him safe, won't we, Mr Peepers?

Peepers: We will.

Wander:...(hugs Hater tightly) ;(

Hater: [hugged him bk just as tight, then slowly sets him dwn] We'll discuss more abt this in length wen we hv the chance. In the meantime, Peepers [picks him up by the bk of the collar like a ragdoll] U n I r going for a long overdue celebration of being a dad [takes out communicator] Awesome, get ur butt dwn at the front entrance. We're having a dad's party [kisses Wander n left the room]

Loathe: Well, we're not abt to lose to Hater either. Come [picks Wander up] We're having our own celebration too. Call ur friend Sylvia to join us too

Grimm: Awesome ~~

Fury: [chuckles n shook his head as he watched his two other children with Wander leaving the room at the opposite direction] Kids...

Peepers: -__-** Sir, put me down.

Wander: (sighs, still worried about Hater going on something this dangerous)
