[Hater's funeral was the grandest royal funeral anyone has ever seen. Everyone was present to the funeral, even the kings n leaders of the planets Hater has liberated as well as other planets' leaders whom they've helped during their adventuring. A few weeks after the funeral, Brad had to return to his planet to officially be crowned king, n Peepers went with him, named his "queen". Awesome decided that it was time for Sylvia to get to know his family n be introduced to the parents, so they too left to Awesome's home planet. Wander decided to settle in Planet Skeletor n called it his home, as did Angel, since he was being courted by Fury, n Hater's family welcomed them with open arms]
Wander: [had just lay dwn flowers in Hater's mausoleum n was sitting next to it silently, rubbing his huge baby bump]
Angel: (walked up to him) Son...?
Wander: [looks up to see him] Hey, Papa. U found me [smiled tiredly]
Angel: (knelt beside him) I know it's been hard on you losing someone you really loved...
Wander: [short pause, then sighed] ....At least I was there during his last moments, unlike Mama n my sibs...
Angel: (held him) :(
Wander: [cuddled in his arms] ....Still no word frm Firefly?
Angel: Not recently, I'm afraid...
Wander: [sighed] I told Sylvia to drop by at Aunt Janet's on the way to Awesome's planet, to tell her to let Firefly knw tht we're officially staying here, just in case she returns n find us not there...
Angel: I know...
Wander: [looked at the mausoleum, at Hater's royal marble coffin, then started sobbing in Angel's arms] .... ;(
Angel: :( (held him, rubbing his back gently)
Wander: ;( Wat am I going to do...? I knw I said I'll be strong... Tht I will take care of myself n live on for Hatey... Tht I won't be alone coz I got u guys... bt at the end of the day... he's not here with me...
Angel: Shh, shh, shh... it'll be okay... it'll be okay...
Wander: I dunno... I dunno if its gonna... [suddenly cringed in Angel's arms]
Angel: Son? Are you...? (felt something wet) ... :O Oh...
Wander: [sees the water starting to leak out] Oh gob... Oh gob, Papa... ;(
Angel: (helped Wander to his feet) Hang on, son. Just deep breaths.
Wander: [whimpered as he tried to take deep breaths while holding onto his dad]
Fury: [just so happen to be looking for Angel] Angel? Angel, did u find him? Is he... [sees them coming out of the mausoleum] Oh grob, is he...? :O
Angel: Fury, quick, get your medical team ready! It's time!
Fury: Right, lemme carry him, we'll go faster tht way [picks Wander up n carried him quickly to Wander's room, seeing Terry along the way] Terry! Go call the medical team to Wander's room! Hurry!
Terry: :O Yes, sire! (hurried to get the medics)
Angel: (kept his eye on Wander)
Fury: [lay him in bed] Its gonna be OK, son. Ur gonna be OK
Wander: [started sobbing, moaning whenever he feels a contraction] ;( Oooww...
Angel: (held his hand) Deep breaths, son, deep breaths. :(
Wander: [tries his best to breathe]
Fury: [rubbed his bk to help him ease the pain]
Angel: That's it, easy does it. :)
Fury: [could hear hurried footsteps coming ovr] Tht must be Terry with the medical team
Wander: Is... Is this wat u had to go thru... with Mama...? [tries to breathe thru the contraction again]
Angel: (nod) Only she'd yell at me. ^^;;
Terry: They're in here.
Wander: [tries to chuckle, bt another contraction made him moan out]
Medic: We're here, sire. Anyone who's not family should leave
Fury: Right, I understand... [gets up bt Wander gripped his robe]
Wander: No... Pls... Pls don't leave me alone... Hatey, pls... [the pain n the tears was making his vision blurry, making him see Fury as Hater]
Angel: (to doctor) Please, it'll help my son through this.
Medic: (nod) Alright, anything to ease his pain. U can stay, sire
Fury: R... R u sure abt this, Angel? (worry) [hadn't been in a delivery room in ages since his ex-wife's last pregnancy]
Angel: (nod) I'm sure if Wander's sure.
Wander: Don't leave me... Don't leave me alone... ;( [still gripping Fury's robe tight]
Fury: OK, OK, Wander, I'll stay [returned bk to let Wander lean against his lap]
Medic: [chks Wander] OK, looks like ur ready to go. Push whenever u feel a contraction, sir
Angel: (gripped Wander's hand)
Fury: [helped brace Wander in his birth position]
Wander: [feels it n started pushing] Nnngghh...!!
Angel: That's it, son, that's it...
Wander: [kept pushing with the contractions]
Medic: Ur doing great, sir, doing great, its almost crowning...
Fury: [helped to rub Wander's bk to ease him along]
Angel: Just a little more, Wander...
Wander: [carried on pushing with the contractions, then 10 mins later, the first pup slid out] Gaaahhh!!
Medic: Here's Baby #1! [passes to his assistant to remove the sac]
Angel: (smiled at seeing his grandpup)
Wander: [wanted to see wat did he get, bt another contraction hit him] Guuhh...!!
Medic: No time to waste, the nxt one is coming fast
Fury: U can do this, sonny
Angel: Easy does it now... (gripped his hand more)
Wander: [sobbed as he pushed again, gripping hard onto his dad's hand on one hand n onto Fury's robes with the other] Aaagghhh!! Oh gob, it hurts...!! ;(
Angel: :( It's alright, son, it's alright.
Fury: Ur doing so well, sonny. Ur doing so well...
Wander: [pushes with the contractions again, then 10 mins later, the nxt pup came out, sac n all] Nnnnggaaahhh!!
Medic: There's Baby #2! Great work, sir! Ur doing great!
Angel: :) (tried to keep back his tears of joy)
[the birth carried on for the nxt few hours, tho Wander was taking longer n longer each time to get the babies out bcoz of the pain n the fatigue. Soon he was dwn to the last two babies, the sun was starting to set n he was having a hard time pushing anymore]
Wander: [was breathing hard, his face drenched in tears n sweat] ;( I can't... I can't... I can't do it anymore...
Angel: :( We're almost done, son, it's almost over...
Medic: Ur almost there, sir. Just two more to go. This one's head is already out, u just need to keep going
Wander: [shakes his head] I can't... I can't do it anymore... Pls... Pls make it stop... Papa, pls... ;(
Angel: :( You can do it son... Do it for Hatey...
Wander: [sobbed as he tried his best to push, whimpered as the baby finally slid out] Nnnghh...!!
Medic: Here's Baby #7! One more to go, just one more n it'll be all ovr, sir
Wander: I can't... I can't...! I'm gonna die... ;(
Angel: :( No you're not gonna die, just one more pup to go.
Wander: [looked up at Fury pleadingly] Pls... Pls, Daddy, pls, make it stop...!! Pls tell Papa to make it stop...!! ;(
Fury: [blushed a little at Wander calling him "Daddy" as if he were family already, looking at Angel, a little unsure of wat to say]
Angel: (gives the 'encourage him' look) :)
Fury: [turns bk to Wander n held him close] Its OK, Daddy's here. U just need to get thru this, alright? Just one more to go
Wander: I can't do it, Daddy, I can't do it anymore... Pls... ;(
Fury: Ur not alone, sonny. Hater's been with u all this time, look, remember tht? [gestured to the snow globe he kept on his bedside table, the one he got for him the day he died]
Angel: (nod)
Wander: [looked at the snow globe, remembering the times Hater tried so hard to get it for him, n the day he actually gave him on tht fateful night] Hatey... ;( Hatey, it hurts... [sobs hard] I can't do it anymore, Hatey...
Fury: He's been with u all this time, sonny, frm the vry first pup. He knws u can do this. For him, OK?
Wander: [stared at the snow globe some more, then looked at Fury n Angel in his tears]
Angel: Please son...for him...
Fury: He's here for u, we're all here for u. U can do this. Remember, he's watching ovr u, always, n ur Papa's here to help u, n I'm helping u too [helped him to massage his belly, just as he did since the 4th baby was coming]
Wander: [whimpered as he felt the massage, then gave in to the contractions n pushed] Ggghh...!!
Angel: (also helped massage)
Medic: Tht's it, tht's vry good, keep it coming, sir. The head is coming out
Wander: [pushes along with the massages n the contractions, gripping fully onto Fury's robes as he pushed]
Fury: U can do it, sonny, ur doing great
Angel: It's okay, you're almost done...
Wander: [whimpered as he pushed dwn as hard as he could, feeling the baby slowly n finally easing out of him]
Medic: One last push, sir, one last push!
Wander: [takes a deep breath, tilted his head bk n screamed out loud as he pushed his hardest] HAAAATTEEEEEYYYYYY~~~!!! GGGAAAAAHHHH!!!
Medic: [catches the baby] And here's the last one! There we go! :D
Angel :) You did great, son. You've done good.
Fury: U were amazing, sonny. U did reli great
Wander: I... I did it...? Th-They're all... all out...? ;(
Angel: (nod) They're all out.
Wander: Oooh... Thank gob... I did it... I did it, Hatey... [passes out in Fury's arms]
Fury: Wander? Son? (worry)
Angel: It's alright, he just needs to rest from all he's gone through. :)
Medic: We'll take it frm here, sire. Would u two like to help bathe n clean the pups while I tend to Wander? :)
Fury: Umm, I dunno... Should I...? [wasn't sure if he should]
Angel: (nod) I'll be helping you.
Fury: OK then
Assistant: [just finished removing the sac frm the last pup, then hands 4 to Fury n 4 to Angel] Here u go, sire
Fury: [takes them carefully n nervously, worried tht he would break them like china]
Angel: :) (smiled down at the pups in his arms) Hello, my grandchildren...
Fury: Oh, they fit so well on u, bt, eheh, they're so itty-bitty n tiny in my arms [which was true since Fury was pretty big sized for a Skeletor]
Angel: You are a huge fellow. (giggle)
Fury: :$ [made his way to the en-suite bathroom in Wander's room where another medic assistant has already prepared the tub for them to clean the pups] Here we go
Angel: (nod) Thank you. Now, watch what I do, Fury.
Fury: [watches as Angel washes the pups expertly, like it was second nature to him] Wow, ur good. Its been forever since I dealt with a baby. I mean, I nvr reli bathe any of my kids, the nannies usually do it, n once in a while my ex-wife would do it wen she felt like it ^^;;
Angel: Felt too busy for them?
Fury: Who? Me or my ex? [tries to copy Angel's movements]
Angel: You felt too busy to care for your own children?
Fury: Wen u say it like tht, it sounds kinda bad, bt yeah, I guess. I mean, I was the ruler of a planet. I had my share of playing n watching ovr them, n grooming them to be rulers, bt the state affairs usually takes precedence [sighed] I'm glad Grimm didn't inherit tht trait frm me. He's so good with Terry, n Eliza loves him to bits
Angel: :)
Fury: Does tht make me a terrible father? :(
Angel: From all I've been seeing with Hater's case, I don't see you as a terrible parent. :)
Fury: :$ [chk the pups as he washed] Looks like Wander's got a pair of each: a boy n girl Star Nomad, a boy n girl Skeletor, a boy n girl Angel Nomad, and a boy n girl Skeletor-Nomad hybrid
Angel: :) ... (sniffled) ;(
Fury: [sees him sniffling] W-Wat's wrong? R u OK, Angel? :(
Angel: I'm...finally a grandparent... ;(
Fury: Aww... Heh, so am I. Well, again, anyways [nuzzled Angel as he finished washing his share of the pups] So how does it feel?
Angel: It's...grand. :)
Fury: Heh, nice pun [wraps the pups up to dry them] Umm... U OK tho? With Wander calling me...umm... Daddy n stuff? Tht came outta nowhere... :$
Angel: (nod) It's alright with me. :$
Fury: Eheh... :$ [took the coloured swaddles prepared by the assistant n wrapped the pups up according to gender, blue for boy n pink for girl]
Angel: :) (did the same)
Wander: [was also all cleaned n stitched up for tears n was snugly tucked in bed] |-)
Fury: [placed the pups into the baby crib nxt to Wander's bed] Guess we better let them rest
Angel: (nod) We should.
Fury: [led Angel out, announcing the good news to the family waiting outside] All 8 are born, 4 boys n 4 girls, n the mother is safe n sound
Grimm: Oh thank gob, it was taking forevr
Loathe: I was so worried something went wrong for a sec (worry)
Terry: :)
Angel: (nod)
Loathe: Can we see him? Can we see the litter? :D
Fury: Hold ur horses, Loathe. Wander's had a long day. Let them rest. U can see them tomorrow
Loathe: Aww~
Grimm: They're not gonna go anywhere, Loathe, calm ur tits |-(
Terry: (giggle)
Angel: :)
Fury: Shall we take a walk, Angel? Get some air? We definitely need it
Angel: (nod) Of course.
[Fury led Angel dwn to walk along the small lake within the palace grounds, taking in the scenery]
Fury: [takes a deep breath] Well, tht was a reli long day, long bt eventful
Angel: It really was... (stared up at the clouds)
Fury: ...Something on ur mind, Angel?
Angel: ...I'm sure Wildflower would'ver been happy about this... :)
Fury: Yeah, I'm sure too, as do ur other children :) [looked away blushing nervously]
Angel: ... Fury?
Fury: [takes a deep breath] Actually... I was planning to get u alone today, bt u were worried abt Wander n wanted to find him... So... [takes out a small box from his pocket]
Angel: (blinked) ...F-Fury... :$
Fury: [knelt to Angel's level, taking his hand] Since the war ended, I felt like I've gotten to know u better since my embarrassing outburst, even more wen everyone went on the cruise. N wen Hater was at his worst, u were there to comfort me, to bear with my insecurities n my guilt trip, u held me tight wen I felt like letting go. Well, wat I'm trying to say is... [opened the box to reveal a beautiful red gemstone ring, prolly an heirloom ring] Will u finally accept me, bones and all, n be my wife?
Angel: (flushed at the sight of the ring) ... I do.
Fury: :) [hugged Angel tight, then helped him put on the ring before leaning in to kiss him deeply]
Angel: (kissed him back) (heart) ~
