(meanwhile)
Wander: (was being checked by the medic)
Medic: Ur all good n in the clear. Ur abt 1 and a half mth along, coming 2. Here's some nausea pills. Take them only if the morning sickness is too hard for u to bear. Take it sparingly, okay?
Wander: (nod) (was still saddened of Hater wanting him gone and how Brad was feeling)
Medic: Ur free to go now. Remember, only wen ur too sick, OK?
Wander: (like)
Peepers: (entered) ...
Medic: Oh, Commander Peepers, sir. Wat brings u here?
Peepers: ...Nothing much. (nodded at Sylvia for her to come with him for a moment)
Sylvia: [gave a questioning look at Wander, wondering wat it's all abt]
Wander: (shrugged)
Sylvia: [followed Peepers to another room] Hey, uh, we nvr reli got to talk abt wat happened bk there at the planet... Eheheh, crazy, right? [tried to downplay it to lighten the mood]
Peepers: ...It's true, isn't it...?
Sylvia: Wats true...?
Peepers: You're... engaged? :(
Sylvia: [her breath hitched as she instinctively reached to cover her mark, not exactly replying Peepers' question]
Peepers: ...You are, aren't you? To...that Fishface?
Sylvia: Wh-Who told u tht...? (worry) [tries to think who else could've known besides Wander]
Peepers: You know... Lord Hater's not as stupid as he seems... (sounded really hurt)
Sylvia: I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I was just wondering wat it would be to give u a chance... I mean wen Awesome marked me... I freaked out. I wasn't ready to settle dwn. I... I thought if I could... If we worked out, I would break up with him... We... We were just starting out n then the whole planet thing happened n it went out of hand n... I'm... I'm sorry... ;(
Peepers: ... I know it was Lord Hater's orders to kick you both out and not telling me this till now does hurt me... but...at same time, I don't want any harm coming to our child, and also can't bare how Hater can just walk away from this. Maybe he needs time to think about it, but...
Sylvia: No, he's right. We hv to give him space, n if it means us leaving his ship, so be it. Besides... I need to go see Awesome abt this situation, to come clean with him... :(
Peepers: ...And the baby...?
Sylvia: Babies. Plural. The medic just checked me. U gave me 4 eggs, he said it's how u Watchdogs breed, by giving birth to multiples. No wonder Hater's got so many of u guys ard
Peepers: ... :( ... (removed his helmet) ...I should go with you then.
Sylvia: W-Wat? Why? This is my problem. It's my fault we're in this predicament. I should be dealing with this myself
Peepers: But if I'm not there to help protect our children-
Sylvia: Ur needed here. Ur Hater's second in command. U can't make him think u abandoned him too. Brad n Wander will be with me. Well, Brad will prolly hv to do the heavy lifting of protecting Wander n me, bt the point is I won't be alone. N I don't wanna piss Hater off anymore than I should by either staying or making u come with me
Peepers: ... (placed his helmet back on) Very well then... (reached to give her a gentle kiss) Just...be careful at least. You know how rambunctious you can get. :$
Sylvia: |-( Don't even remind me... :$ .... [a short pause later] Ur... Ur not mad at me...? I was expecting u to blow ur top off, like Hater did with Wander... :(
Peepers: I am disappointed you never told me this... but I still care about you...
Sylvia: Why... Why r u so nice to me...? I lied to u... I hid my relationship with Awesome from u... U should at least yell at me or something... ;(
Peepers: ... (hugged her) That's the last thing I wanna do right now... You've been through enogh on that planet, I don't want to make it any worse...
Sylvia: [sobbed in his arms] ;( I'm scared... I'm scared of being a mom... N to four kids... N wat if I can't be a good mom... I nvr had the best role model... ;(
Peepers: You'll do fine, you'll see... :)
Sylvia: [just sobbed in his arms, letting it all out]
Peepers: (rubbed her back, tears in his eye as well)
