[the new family slept thru the night, with Duke occasionally waking up for feedings, bt other than tht, the night was pretty peaceful. soon, the nxt morning...]
Peepers: [stirred at the morning light n the birds chirping outside, then chk to see his IV drips n blood bag had already been emptied n slowly took off the tubes, hissing a bit at the sting]
Brad: (was asleep in his own bed) |-) Zzz...
Peepers: [sees Brad asleep n smiled, then chk on Duke]
Duke: Mmm... |-)
Peepers: :) [kissed his forehead, then stretches a little before he gets up, hissing a bit at the stitches he had frm the tears he got frm birth, then walks slowly to Brad's bed n sat nxt to him, stroking his hair]
Brad: (leaned slightly into Peepers' hand) Zzz... mm? (yawn)
Peepers: Hey, hotshot, sorry I woke u :)
Brad: Hey, Princess... How you feeling now?
Peepers: Much better now, aftr the IV drips n the blood transfusion. Wat abt u? How did it go with ur grandma?
Brad: She told much as she could about my parents...and also asked if I was interested of becoming king here, but I wanted to check with you first about it. I know how loyal you are to Hater and all.
Peepers: Well, tbh, once Hater passes away, I don't think I would hv anywhere else to go. I hv no one else to serve, I no longer will be Commander, n I hv no planet to return to, n all my other brethren r scattered across the galaxy now. It would be nice to settle dwn somewhere where Duke will hv a great future n we don't hv to worry abt whether we can afford to raise him n all, so I'm OK with u being King n me settling dwn with u, if tht is ur choice
Brad: You'd really want to rule by my side...? :$
Peepers: I'll be wherever u wanna be. Ur the father of my child, n u proposed to me, so ur stuck with me ;)
Brad: :) Glad to hear.
Duke: (yawn) ah~
Peepers: Someone's woken up too :)
Brad: (giggle)
Duke: Mmm...(reached out)
Peepers: Hey, sweetie [comes to Duke n picks him up, holding him as best as he can with his one arm] Did u sleep well? U hungry?
Duke: (patted at Peepers' chest)
Brad: I think that's a yes. ^^
Peepers: (giggle) Alright, here's ur breakfast [undid his robes to reveal his slightly expanded chest n helped Duke to his nipple]
Duke: :D (suckled hungrily)
Brad: :)
Peepers: I wonder how is everyone doing bk there tho. Maybe we should give them a call
Brad: (nod) We should.
Peepers: I might've left my communicator on the ship. Do u hv one on u?
Brad: I think I do.
Peepers: Would u mind if u make the call? Heh, kinda having hands full atm [gestured at himself nursing]
Brad: (nod) Sure, I'll do it.
Peepers: [smiled, gave him the frequency to contact them n continued nursing]
Brad: :) (made the call)
Wander: [hears Hater's communicator ring while he was helping Hater massage his forehead n answered it] Hello?
Brad: Hey, furball. How's Hater doing?
Peepers: [listens in as well]
Wander: :( [not sure how to answer tht]
Brad: wander? What is it? Is Hater okay or not? :(
Peepers: Yeah, is he OK?
Wander: He's... [sighed sadly] He's reached the final stage... N it's a matter of time before... :(
Brad: :O Oh no...
Hater: (stirred slightly) Sunshine...?
Wander: Hey, Hatey. Sorry to wake u. It's Brad n Peeps
Peepers: [was shocked speechless at wat Wander just said]
Hater: Ah... hey, guys...
Brad: :( We're... We're sorry, we just wanted to...
Peepers: Sir, is it true? U've reached the... the last stage...?
Wander: :(
Hater: Yes...it is... :(
Peepers: S-Since wen...?
Wander: It started abt 2 mths ago, while u were gone, it happened just a few weeks aftr u guys left
Peepers: Oh gob... ;(
Brad: :(
Hater: ;( (sniffled)
Peepers: I should've been there with u by ur side...
Wander: Don't blame urself. U wouldn't knw this would happen so fast, we didn't knw either... [sees the bundle in Peepers' arm] :O Wait, is tht...?
Brad: Yeah... this is Duke, our son. :)
Duke: (had finished feeding)
Peepers: Yeah, I just gave birth yesterday [cleans n burps Duke before showing him to the screen] Here u go
Wander: Aww... He's adorable~ :D
Duke: :) Ah?~
Hater: :) Heh, cute kid, Peeps. Looks like his daddy.
Brad: :$
Wander: He's so big tho. How did u manage?
Peepers: Heh, not easy. Hurts like a bitch, n almost died of blood loss, bt it was worth it [tried to be casual abt it]
Brad: And the doctor did recommend if we wanted more kids, we should consider a C section next time.
Wander: Gee, now I'm having creepy mental image abt it 0_0;;
Peepers: How abt u, furball? How's ur litter doing?
Wander: Well... :$ [adjusted so tht the couple can see his baby bump, which has grown considerably bigger]
Brad: :O Oh wow.
Hater: Yup, that's our babies in there. (nuzzled his lover's belly) (inlove)
Wander: Yup, all 8 of them-- Oops! [covered his mouth; he meant tht to be a surprise wen Hater wakes up later]
Peepers: Wait, did u just say-- Wait, wat?? :O
Wander: >///< Shoot...
Hater: :O 8?
Brad: (giggle)
Wander: Eheh... Yeah... :$ I just had my ultrasound done wen u were taking a nap. I just wanted to make sure they were healthy, I was caught off guard too
Peepers: Oi vey, ur the definition of a baby boomer -_-;;
Brad: Peepers. ^^;;
Hater: Wow... :o
Peepers: Someone definitely had a lot of fun during their cruise (smirk)
Wander: Peeps, stop~~ >///<;;
Brad: (chuckle) Alright, that's enough, Princess.
Wander: R u... R u OK, Hatey? We're... We're gonna hv a litter of 8... :$
Hater: That...sounds like a lot, but...I'm happy bout it. :)
Wander: (giggle) So wats cooking on ur end, Bradley? Did ur reunion go well? Did u manage to find out abt ur past?
Brad: (paused, unsure how to respond)
Peepers: [gives him an encouraging nuzzle] It's OK, hotshot. I wanna knw the deets too
Brad: Well... My grandmama had accepted our love, but grandpapa...not so much... he's also the reason Duke came out prematurely. :(
Wander: Oh dear, wat exactly happened? :(
Peepers: Yeah, wat exactly did ur grandma tell u abt ur past? :(
Brad: :( (explained what he was told about his parents)
Wander: Oh my...
Peepers: Oh Brad... :( [leaned against his shoulder to comfort him, since his hand is occupied with carrying Duke]
Brad: (also leaned against Peepers)
Hater: :( That's gotta suck...
Wander: So... Hv u decided if ur gonna take the throne?
Brad: Yeah... We have. (nod)
Wander: N ur gonna stay ard, Peeps?
Peepers: Yeah, I mean, I hate to say it, bt wen ur...no longer here, sir, I won't hv anyone to serve. N Brad has, well, has proposed to me, so we stuck with each other, so to speak :$
Hater: ... (nod) Just take care, Peepers.
Brad: I'll help with that too. :)
Wander: Heh, maybe the next time we meet, I might call u Queen Peeps (giggle)
Peepers: Dream on, furball -_-**
Brad: :D For now he's just my Princess.
Hater: Princess Peeps. (giggle)
Peepers: Seriously, guys~ -__-**
Wander: :D
Peepers: |-( Anyways u guys gonna be OK tho? Do u want us to go bk to Planet Skeletor to be with u guys? U know... Till the end? :(
Hater: That'd be nice... :(
Wander: We're just worried tht u might not be able to make it, since it took u this long to reach ur home planet...
Peepers: That's true... [looked to Brad for any ideas]
Brad: ...There isn't any faster way for us to get back?
Peepers: I don't know, our ship can do warp jump, bt even then it might not be enough fuel. Doesn't ur castle have any form of transportation tht can make us travel fast?
Brad: I hope so.
Hater: :(
Peepers: We'll get bk to u wen we found a way
Wander: Keeping our fingers crossed then
Hater: (nod)
Brad: :) We'll hopefully make it back.
Wander: Cya then, hopefully
Peepers: Cya [ended the call]
