[during the mths Hater was in his coma state, Grimm had settled the affairs of the court. He pardoned all of Fury's army, knwing tht they were just being loyal out of fear for Fury, in exchange for their true loyalty n allegiance to him n him alone. The announcement of Fury's death was met with rejoicing as the citizens were glad tht Fury's tyranny is ovr, wishing Grimm n Terry a long n prosperous reign. Bcoz of Fury's actions, he was considered unworthy to be cremated like all the royals, bt he was still considered family, so his body was sealed in a tomb n kept in the deepest part of the catacombs where no one will evr find n remember him, with the door of the room where the tomb was kept locked n sealed as well]
Grimm: [had just finished updating Loathe abt everything tht had happened n ended the vid call, pinching his brow in fatigue]
*knock knock knock*
Grimm: [sighed] Come in
Terry: (entered) Everything alright, Grimmy?
Grimm: [sighed] Yeah, just got off with Loathe n updated her on everything
Terry: Will she be visiting...?
Grimm: Maybe, bt not anytime soon. She's getting ready to get married by next mth, n according to her fiance's tradition, ur not allowed to visit the dead for at least 100 days after ur married, it's bad luck or something
Terry: Huh, I see.
Grimm: I heard they're going to bring Hater out of coma soon, since the due date is coming near
Terry: :) That's good.
Grimm: If I'm not mistaken it should be today. Wander would prolly be pretty happy
Terry: (nod) And we'll be getting triplets. Can you believe that?
Grimm: Yeah, I know. I can't believe tht. Wait, u didn't know ur species gives birth to multiples?
Terry: It's usually one or two with my speices, so this is rare to me. :)
Grimm: Oh, I see [scratched his chin] U sure ur OK with me adopting ur kids tho?
Terry: I'm fine with it. Really.
Grimm: Good, coz I don't want u to feel awkward or anything, or think tht I'm doing this coz I felt sorry for u or something [wrapped his arms ard his waist]
Terry: (rested his hands on Grimm's shoulders) Don't be. Just think about how great a father you'll be to our children.
Grimm: Well tbh yes, I do feel a little bit sorry for u n my brother, bt most importantly I did it coz I love u, n they're ur kids, they should stay near u. Ur still gonna be my loving wife tho, don't u forget tht, my future Queen (smirk)
Terry: (giggle) Oh you.
Grimm: [nuzzled him] How's the nursery progressing?
Terry: Just halfway done. :)
Grimm: We better speed it up since the due date is near, or else the eggs won't hv anywhere to hatch
Terry: (nod)
[meanwhile, in the medic wing, the doctors were prepping to wake Hater up frm the coma]
Wander: (waited outside)
Docs: [pressed some buttons, monitored the condition, then flipped the lever n the pod soon hissed open, then they slowly moved Hater onto a bed]
Hater: [was slowly stirring]
Wander: (glanced up) ?
Docs: [gently tucked Hater in n unhooked some of the unnecessary tubes before coming out] U can go in now, sir. He's ready
Hater: [was slowly blinking his eyes open]
Wander: (poked his head inside)
Hater: [squinted at the light, then slowly looks ard] Wha...? Wh-Where...? [his voice felt hoarse]
Wander: (approached slowly) ... Hi, Hatey... :)
Hater: [sees Wander approaching] W-Wander...? Wha...? [coughed a little coz his throat felt dry]
Wander: Easy now, easy... (rested his hand on Hater's head)
Hater: [cleared his throat] Nnhh.. Water...
Wander: (nod) (gets him glass of water and helps him sit up so he can drink)
Hater: [drank the water in a few big gulps, sighed in relief, then sees his baby bump being so huge] Wait... Wat? Wen did this happen...?
Wander: You were in a coma for a while...it'll almost be time for you to deliver your brother's triplets.
Hater: H-How long was I out exactly...? [caressed his huge baby bump] N wait... did u just say triplets?
Wander: Quite a few months, and yes, triplets. (nod)
Hater: Sh... Shit... Triplets? Oh gob, I'm gonna be in hell... (worry)
Wander: From what I've heard from Terry, you'll be birthing out eggs.
Hater: Eggs? Oh, right, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since Terry is a lizard species. Wen am I due?
Wander: Could be sometime today.
Hater: Wh-Where's Dad? Wat happened to him? Last I remember was being beaten up till I passed out...
Wander: He's gone, for good, we took him down...Well, mainly I did.
Hater: U... U did...? U killed Dad...?
Wander: ...Yes. (bit his lip) I'm just...glad you didn't see how I was when...
Hater: [blinked] W-Wen wat...?
Wander: I took on a more...darker form...
Hater: Oh... Well... [looked away sadly] ;(
Wander: :( Hatey...
Hater: This... This would've all been avoided if I just waited for u... Instead of trying to be a hero n left u behind to try n take on my dad... I was prepared to kill him myself if talking peacefully with him didn't work... N now... Now I'm dirty... I'm no different than I was as a breeder slave... ;(
Wander: :( No, Hatey... (hugged him gently)
Hater: [hugged him bk, burying his face on his shoulder] I deserve this... It's bcoz of my arrogance all this happened... ;(
Wander: No, you don't...you don't deserve any of this... :(
Hater: [sobbed in his arms for a good 10 mins] ;(
Wander: (rocked him gently, hushing him)
Hater: [slowly calmed dwn n sniffled] Where's everyone? Brad, Sylvia, Peepers, the litter...
Wander: Want me to get the litter?
Hater: (nod)
Wander: :) Wait right here.
(later)
Wander: (comes back with the litter and twins)
Litter & Twins: [sees their mother n beamed happily] Mama! Mama! Mama~!
Hater: Oh my little puppies. Come here to Mama [held out his arms]
Wander: (carefully handed him the litter and twins)
Hater: [cuddled them close] Ooh~ I miss u so so much, my little puppies [nuzzled them in happy tears]
[The litter n twins all curled up on his lap n middle, so happy to take in their mother's scent again]
Wander: :)
Hater: Mama will nvr leave u again like this ever, I swear [kissed them all]
Litter & Twins: (giggle)
Wander: ^^
