(At the Bay)
Peepers: :( (goes up to Hater)
Hater: [slowly stirring] Nnhh... (yawn) Peeps...? W-Where am I...?
Peepers: (writes) In the Medic Bay.
Hater: W-Wat am I doing here...? Wats wrong with me...? I just felt sick and... [massaged his throbbing head]
Peepers: (writes) Check under your robe.
Hater: Under my robe? Wat do u mean... [looked underneath anyways n saw his energy orb n his breath hitched] Wat...? I... I'm... I'm pregnant...??
Peepers: (nod)
Hater: But... But tht's impossible...! Master n I haven't done anything since the date! I chk almost everyday. My energy orb had no reaction at all...! [was starting to panic]
Peepers: (grabs Hater by the shoulder to try and settle him)
Hater: Oh gob, Master is gonna think I hid it frm him! He's gonna be mad at me! Oh gob, I'm so dead! I gotta get outta here, I...!! [hyperventilated till the point where he started puking again]
Peepers: (jumps back to prevent being puked on)
Sylvia: [came in with Wander just tht moment n sees Hater puking] Oh gob, ugh [turned one side] Medic! We need help here! [turned to Peepers] Wat did u do, pipsqueak?
Peepers: (writes) I was just checking on him, that's all!
Wander: (watches Hater) ...
Hater: [still puking, didn't notice Wander was there]
Doc: [comes in, bringing a plastic bag for Hater to puke in as he chk his vitals] Easy does it there, Hater [sees Wander] Oh, sir, ur bk. U OK? U left in such a hurry
Hater: [finally sees Wander, his eyes filled with tears of fear, which made him vomit again into the bag]
Wander: (frowns, slowly stepping forward)
Peepers: (is about to write something in protest, but stopped by the nomad)
Wander: It's okay. I've got this.
Peepers: (looks unsure but heads over to Sylvia)
Doc: [gestured someone to come over to clean up as he finished chking up] All good there. Here, this'll sting a little, bt it'll help with the morning sickness [took out a medi epi-pen n jabbed it into Hater's neck]
Hater: [stopped feeling nauseous n sighed as he coughed out his last bile, not daring to look at Wander]
Sylvia: So, doc, u said he's been pregnant for a week. Is that true?
Doc: Yup, abt a week, give or take
Wander: (walks up) Hater... you can tell me... Did you KNOW you were with baby? Yes or no?
Hater: I... I swear! I didn't knw! I swear! I... I didn't cheat on u, I didn't sleep with other ppl! I swear I didn't knw. I chk everyday since we had our date, there was nothing going on! I didn't...!! [tears were literally pouring dwn his cheeks] ;(
Wander: ... :(
Doc: Take it easy, Hater, don't agitate urself, its not good for the babies
Hater: B-Babies...? As in plural...?
Doc: Yup. I've done some tests on ur energy orb. It seems tht ur carrying pups, just like a nomad pregnancy would. My guess is tht u were already pregnant aftr ur date with Lord Wander, bt the energy orb is taking its time to actually develop all 6 of ur pups, sac and all, before starting to show the signs, which is why u didn't knw
Sylvia: Woah :O Did u say 6 pups??
Wander: O_O (stutters a bit before falling backward in a daze) @_@
Hater: :O M-Master!!
Doc: Now that's the reaction I expect from a pregnancy announcement (giggle)
Sylvia: Oi vey.... ^^;;
Wander: (was still in a daze)
Peepers: ^^;;
Sylvia: [pulls him up on his feet] Pull urself together, buddy. Ur a daddy now, act like it
Hater: [blushed as the news finally sunk in, his hand on his middle]
Wander: (snapped out of it) S...six pups...? For real...?
Doc: (nod) Yup. U can't see it with ur naked eye, but the ultrasound shows it [takes out the ultrasound print out n showed it to them] See there? [points at the small round sacs one by one as he counted] One, two three, four, five, and riiiight here hidden underneath towards the pelvic is little number six
Hater: [looked at the ultrasound in wonder]
Wander: (also stares in awe)
Doc: [gives the print out to Hater] Here ya go, for keepsakes. I guess congrats are in order
Hater: [takes the print out] Umm... Thanks... [blushed a little as he stared at it]
Wander: (looks at it with Hater) ... :) Our babies... ;(
Hater: Woah... Master, r u... crying?
Sylvia: Aww, our great big Conqueror is becoming Mr Softie Daddy :D [clapped Wander's bk jovially]
Wander: (bites his lip and leans over to gently hug Hater) ;( I didn't...mean to be mad...you didn't know... you didn't...
Hater: O-Oh Master... It's... It's OK, I'm not mad at u... I don't blame u for thinking that... [hugged him bk, also all teary-eyed] ;(
Sylvia: [nudged Peepers] Let's give em some privacy, pipsqueak
Peepers: (nod) (leaves with the Zbornak)
Wander: ;( (still embracing Hater)
Hater: [sobbed a little in Wander's arms, hugging him close]
Wander: (pulls away) I was... I thought you still didn't trust me... ;(
Hater: Evn if I didn't, u think I would hide this frm u? I'm not tht dumb. I told u I'd do it for ur mother, remember? Any chance of success, u would be the first to knw
Wander: (wipes a few tears and leans to kiss Hater gently)
Hater: [kissed him bk gently, almost coming natural to him] I was afraid... u would accuse me of sleeping with someone else... I mean, I knw u like me... N I bet ur not the sharing type... N we didn't do it since the date, but I'm suddenly pregnant, u might think I was cheating on u...
Wander: (presses finger against his boney lips) Hey, it's okay. You didn't know. I'm just glad our babies are okay... (rubs Hater's middle gently) :)
Hater: Babies... Oh grop, looks like I was right abt my pregnancy following ur genetics. I'm gonna hv 6 of ur little brats... (facepalm) [was pretty nervous abt it]
Wander: (giggle) You've got me to help you, as well as the others.
Hater: I hope so. My last two Masters kept me locked up in my room wen they found I was pregnant... :(
Wander: (hugs Hater) Dn't worry about what happened back then, Hater. This is now, and I'm happy about the idea of children. Aren't you?
Hater: Y-Yeah... I guess... I mean we've strived to do this for the sake of ur mom... Wait, wat r we doing here? Ur mom should know abt this. U gotta tell her
Wander: (nod) Yes, she should know about this.
Hater: Umm, I don't wanna sound too forward but...maybe instead of telling her on the phone, maybe surprise her with a visit? U always said u wanted to introduce me to her.... [blushed at the thought]
Wander: Well, I could call her up and see if we can plan a visit and give the surprise from there. :)
Hater: (nod) That would work. U go do ur thing, I'm good here
Wander: (pets his head) Just rest easy now, okay?
Hater: I know, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere
Wander: (nod) (kisses his forehead and leaves him to rest)
Hater: [waited till Wander left, then touched the part he kissed, then looks dwn to stare at the ultrasound print out, then shook his head, muttering] No, no, don't get attached... These r not my brats, they're Master's... [sighed n lay bk dwn, still clutching onto the print out close to his chest]
Wander: (heads to his seat, sitting in front of the large screen) Computer. Call up Wildflower Star Nomad, please.
Computer: Acknowledged. Calling now... [dialed the video call to his mother's]
Wildflower: [logged on at the fourth ring] Hey there, stranger. How's it hanging?
Wander: :) Hey, Mama.
Wildflower: Why'd u call? Everything alright, Wandy?
Wander: Yeah, everything's fine. I just wanted to check on you. Maybe even arrange a visit?
Wildflower: I'm fine, don't worry. A bit of the cough once in a while, but no biggie. Well, family reunion dinner is still on nxt week, n and I'm getting the house ready n the menu prepared. U can come over then. Papa misses u, n so r ur brothers n sister
Wander: (nod) Okay, that sounds good.
Wildflower: Great. I look forward to see u then, n maybe that nice boy u said ur dating
Wander: (giggle) Sure thing. I'll see you until then, Mama. :)
Wildflower: See u then [stifled a small cough as she logged off]
Wander: (sighs when the call ended) Wow...
Computer: Shall I chart the ship's course to ur home planet at Planet Janet, Lord Wander?
Wander: (nod) Yes, Computer.
Computer: Acknowledged. Charting course to Planet Janet [started configuring n sending the ship to that direction]
Wander: (leans in his chair) (thinks; a father... I'm a father now.. :) )
