[time passed by n without knowing it, it had been a couple of mths since Wander had left. Before they knw it, it was almost close to due date for Sylvia (abt a mth more to go), n time for her to wake up frm hibernation]
Sylvia: [slowly stirred] ...Nnnhh...?
Peepers: (had been resting his head beside her at the time being) |-)
Sylvia: Nnnhhh... [slowly gets up, n first thing she realized was the adult diapers she was wearing] Wat the...?
Peepers: (stirred a little) (yawn) ...?
Sylvia: Hey, why am I... Why am I in diapers? Wat happened last night? Did I had too much fun at the wedding or something? [her mind was still stuck at the day after the wedding]
Peepers: :o (signs) Sylvia, you're finally awake!
Sylvia: [blinked] Finally awake? How long was I out? :|
Peepers: (signs) Quite a few months.
Sylvia: :O A few MONTHS?! How the heck did I sleep that long?!
Peepers: (signs) You were hibernating, something to do with your pregnancy. And you missed quite a lot of events that took place.
Sylvia: Hiber-what? [her brain slowly catches up, remembering something she read online wen she was researching on pregnancies] Ooh... Oh right, I read something about tht... Didn't think it'll happen tht soon... [massaged her temples n rubbed her eyes] So... Wat did I miss?
Peepers: (explains everything from Wildflower's passing to Wander leaving for some needed space)
Sylvia: Oh dear... Poor Wander... But wait, he just left that bonehead behind?! Just like tht? Wen they just got married?! And the litter??
Peepers: (signs) I feel he wasn't thinking clearly of what he was doing. And it's effecting Hater pretty badly... :(
Sylvia: That stupid idiot! If I wasn't pregnant right now, I'd track his ass dwn n beat it thru his thick skull
Peepers: (signs) The only thing we've been able to do was waiting for him to come back.
Sylvia: Ugh, I'm sure the Computer is synced to whatever ship he's using to fly outta here. I'll give him a bit of space for a while, but after I'm freshened up, I'm gonna call him n give him an earful
Peepers: (signs) There's gonna be no stopping you, is there? ^^;;
Sylvia: I'd like to see u try (smirk) [slowly gets off the bed] Ooff, geez, this little bugger reli got itself a growth spurt, didn't it? [rubbing her considerably bigger belly from last time]
Peepers: (signs) Sure has.
Sylvia: Right, gotta go freshen up now, n take off this damn diapers [fumbled to reach for the velcro coz of her expanded girth] Dammit, where is it?
Peepers: (helps her out)
Sylvia: Thanks :) So how's the bonehead holding up right now?
Peepers: (signs) Still hanging out in the nursery.
Sylvia: Ugh, wallowing in self-pity, isn't he?
Peepers: (signs) You could say that.
Sylvia: [sighed] I'll talk to him later, after I give Wander a piece of my mind [enters the bathroom to freshen up]
Peepers: (signs) Oh boy.

Flesh of My Blood-Chp117
[the ship soon made its warp speed n jump, almost arriving to their destination]
Computer: Approaching Planet Tyron in T-minus 20 mins
Wander: (nod) (turns to the hat) Got anything I need to keep undercover, Hatty? Just in case they've heard about me?
Hat: [produced a sort of vial containing bluish liquid n the label read "Oral Dye"]
Wander: (inspects it) I have to drink this, or...?
Hat: [gave a sideways flop, as if smirking n telling him to drink]
Wander: Hmm... (drinks it down, grimicing at the sour aftertaste)
[it took a while, bt soon Wander's fur slowly changed frm his usual bright orange to blue with hints of white in btwn, mostly on his bk, n his eye colour changed to a bright silver]
Wander: (looks in reflection) Wow...that's interesting.
Hat: [had a proud grin]
Wander: :) This'll do nicely.
Computer: Approaching destination in T-minus 5 mins
Wander: (nod)
[the planet was soon within sights n the ship made its way to the landing]
Wander: (takes a good look at it)
[the planet definitely looked tropical, like a cross between Miami, Hawaii n Rio]
Wander: :) Nice.
Computer: Approaching Planet Tyron. Brace urself for landing
Wander: (stays in his chair)
[the ship soon landed slowly onto the planet docks]
Wander: (picks up the hat) You want to join me, or would you feel safer staying behind?
Hat: [plopped itself onto his head]
Wander: (giggle) Take care, Computer. (exits the ship)
Computer: Stay safe, Master Wander. I will keep u updated if anything happens in the ship
Wander: (like) (looks around at the numerous sights)
[it was a pretty nice tropical paradise, with loads of ppl n tourists alike enjoying the sun, the beach n the atmosphere]
Wander: :) (walked along to see if he could enjoy himself for a while)
Hat: [took in the sight, bobbing left n right as if admiring the view]
Wander: :) Like the sight too, Hatty?
Hat: [bobbing as if nodding]
Wander: ^^ (walks past numerous mini shops with owners selling various merch to passersby)
Owner1: Chilled pine-grapes! Chilled pine-grapes! Only 3 space credits each!
Owner2: Poncho? Anyone wanna buy a poncho? Finest silk from the planet of the 3rd galaxy!
Owner3: Shell ornaments! Shell ornaments! Get ur shell ornaments for ur loved ones!
Wander: (kept on walking, thinking to himself but also glancing around)
Owner3: Sir? Sir? U look like u need to get something for ur sweetheart! Can I interest u in our shell ornaments??
Wander: (looks back, pointing at himself) ?
Owner3: Yes, sir! U look like u got a special someone! Wanna get something for ur darling?
Wander: (thinks; well, in case Hater is upset...) (walks forward) What you got?
Owner3: I've got necklaces, vases, frames, anything tht can be made out of shells, u got it. Take ur pick ;)
Wander: (took a look) ...You have anything with a touch of green?
Owner3: I sure do! Here [digs out frm their basket to reveal a conch tht shimmered in sea-foam green n blue] How's this? It works pretty well as both a decor n an actual instrument [demo it by blowing at the conch, making a hollow trombone sound] N if u hold it near ur ear, u will hear the sea [held it against Wander's ear]
Wander: (listens closely)
[a hollow sound was heard, like the waves tht crash thru the beach at midnight]
Wander:... :) That sounds amazing.
Owner3: So whaddaya say, sir? Hv we got a deal?
Wander: (thinks about it, then digs into his hat pulling out how much he needed for the conch) ;) A deal.
Owner3: [received the amount n nodded, packaged the conch for him] Pleasure doing business with u, sir
Wander: (nod) (heads off)
[seeing Wander buy the stuff, the other vendors started hollering n offering their stuff to Wander, their voices overlapping]
Wander: (starts feeling uneasy and runs to get out of there)
[luckily they didn't pursue him any further]
Wander: (had gotten out of there) (whew) Geez.
Hat: [bobbing a bit as if laughing at him]
Wander: >_> Oh shut up. (kept walking on)
[the sky gradually grew dark, n the nomad was soon walking along the sandy beach watching the setting sun]
Wander: (watching the sun go down) Hmm... Mama loved sunsets... :(
Hat: [swayed a bit in agreement]
Wander: (sits down to continue watching the sunset)
Hat: [bobbed gently as if asking him "You OK?"]
Wander: I just miss her, that's all...
Hat: [bobbed again like a sympathetic "I knw..."]
Wander: (sighs, lying back to close his eyes for a moment)
Hat: [flopped off his head to lie next to him]
Wander: (hummed softly)
[the sound of the waves n the chirps of birds up in the skies, as well as the soft wind blowing had a soft relaxing melody to it]
Wander: Hmm... (smiles softly to the sounds)
Hat: [has limped as if fallen asleep to the soothing sounds]
Wander: (hummed softly to himself some more)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp116
(meanwhile elsewhere in space)
Wander: (sighed to himself, riding alone in his mini ship with only the company of the computer and the hat he had taken with him just in case)
Computer: Wat is ur destination, Master Wander?
Wander: Hmm... Anywhere that can get my mind off things.
Computer: Would u like some plc tropical? Or some place with grassy fields, like a countryside? Or some place with high-rise cities?
Wander: (thinks a moment) ... Tropical.
Computer: Calibrating route [pause] Approximately 50,000 types within the 9 galaxies. Which do u prefer? [shows the planets available on the screen]
Wander: (takes a look and points at bluish planet)
Computer: [registers the planet] Planet Tyron on the 5th galaxy. Confirm destination?
Wander: (nod) Confirm.
Computer: Destination confirm. Ship charting towards Planet Tyron [calibrating the ship to start making its way to their destination]
Wander: (leans back in his chair)
Computer: [a small pause later] Permission to speak freely, Master Wander?
Wander: Yes?
Computer: Do u think it is wise for u leave like this, especially one day aftr just getting married to Breeder Hater?
Wander: ...I know I should've told him, but he might've prevented me from what I need to do... :(
Computer: Based on my assessment of his characteristics, there is a 95.7% chance tht he would not hv prevented u. A 50% chance of trying to talk u out of it, but 99.5% tht he would hv let u do wat u need to do, if only u hv discuss with him. N if I may speak freely, it is not right wat u did, Master Wander. U left just shortly aftr u and Breeder Hater got married. Most marriage testimonials I hv observed on the web concludes tht this is an act of marriage betrayal n a sign of marriage insecurity
Wander: (sighs, pinching his brow)
Computer: [another pause] If I may ask freely, wat is it tht u NEED to do?
Wander: ...I just want to get my mind off things...from what happened to Mama... (sighs) Now I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.
Computer: I suppose maybe a getaway is just wat u need to sort things out, although I feel concerned abt the breeder's wellbeing, as well as the litter u abandoned
Wander: I know... but I won't be gone that long, just enoguh to clear my head.
Computer: Understood. We will need to approach warp speed n a jump, pls stay in ur seat, Master Wander
Wander: (does so)

Flesh of My Blood-Chp115
[the couple slept thru the night, or at least Hater did, n as the sun slowly rose, Hater was turning a bit in his sleep, his arm instinctively reaching ovr to spoon Wander]
(However all he felt was air)
Hater: [groped abt for a while, then realized he wasn't touching anything n slowly stirred] W-Wander...? [gets up] (yawn) Wander, where r u?
(There was no response from anywhere in the house from the star nomad)
Hater: [got off the bed n started looking everywhere] Wander? Wander, where are u? Wander?! [started to panic] WANDER!!
(In the kitchen, was a note left on the table)
Hater: [sees the note n quickly grabbed it to read it]
Note: To whoever reads this, don't worry about me. I just grabbed a mini ship from the mother ship and am going to be away for a while to clear my thoughts. Don't anyone try to go after me, don't anyone try to convince me to come back, this is all I ask. I just... need some space. Wander
PS, Hater, if you're reading this, this is why I didn't want to tell you cause I knew you'd try to stop me.
Hater: [gripping the note, trembling as he clenched his fist hard before he threw the note on the floor n let out a snarl of frustration before he sank to his knees, burying his head in his hands]
Peepers: (stepped in) (yawn) (notices Hater) :O (runs over, signing) Hater, what's going on? You okay?
Hater: [didn't reply, was pretty much a sobbing mess]
Peepers: (signs) Hater, talk to me! What happened?? (sees the note) :O
Hater: [doesn't reply, but gestured to the note he thrown aside]
Peepers: (reads it) ... (signs) This can't be good.
Hater: He... He could've just talked to me, tell me his intentions. I wouldn't hv stopped him. I would've understood! I thought he trusted me...!! ;(
Peepers: :( (signs) He does trust you. (holds him to comfort him)
Hater: Then why didn't he tell me? I would nvr hv stopped him! I might protest a little, bt ultimately I would've let him go n clear his head! Tht doesn't sound like trust to me!
Peepers: (holds him more, signing) Some people don't always think clearly in certain solutions...maybe that was why he didn't tell you...
Hater: [sighed] I guess ur sorta right... I just wish I would've earned the right to hear him out at least... I feel so useless tht he couldn't confide in me... I knew I should've pushed him to tell me wen I noticed him in deep thought...
Peepers: (think) (hears Janet stirring)
Janet: Nnnhh...? Wat's all the commotion abt? I wanted to sleep in n all...
Peepers: (signs) You didn't detect anything happening from last night?
Janet: (yawn) Yeah, I did. Some ship flying off me, but I was too depressed to care... :( Oh Wildie... [was still sad n mourning from the funeral]
Peepers: :(
Hater: [sniffles n gets up] I'll be at the nursery [walks off to the nursery to chk on the litter]
Peepers: (watches Hater leave) :( ... (signs) It was Wander who ran off.
Janet: Oh... [realized wat he just said] Wait, wat? O_O
Peepers: (holds up the note for her to see)
Janet: [read the note] Oh. Oh, Wandy-poo, u silly bupkiss...
Peepers: (signs) What?
Janet: A bupkiss, u know, an idiot, a fool, a simpleton...
Peepers: (signs) Right, okay. But what do we do?
Janet: I don't think there's much we CAN do. Wen Wandy-poo sets his mind on something, he will go thru with it no matter wat. Anyone who stops him is not gonna come out pretty. N it's his way of grieving, so I say just let him until he's ready. Don't push it
Peepers: (signs) I suppose...
Janet: He'll come bk wen he's ready. Dont worry
Peepers: (signs) Let's hope so.
[the rest of the day pretty much was somber n solemn, as ppl r still mourning ovr the loss of Wildflower, tho Wander disappearing n Hater staying in the nursery all day wasn't helping either]
(However all he felt was air)
Hater: [groped abt for a while, then realized he wasn't touching anything n slowly stirred] W-Wander...? [gets up] (yawn) Wander, where r u?

[the rest of the day pretty much was somber n solemn, as ppl r still mourning ovr the loss of Wildflower, tho Wander disappearing n Hater staying in the nursery all day wasn't helping either]
Flesh of My Blood-Chp114
[soon nightfall came, n everyone has left to retire to their homes n rooms, n Hater realized tht Wander hadn't come out frm their room all day]
Hater: [knocked on the door] Wander?
Wander: (was laying in bed on his side, hugging himself) ...
Hater: [approaches him n sits next to him] Wander... [stroke his head gently]
Wander: (turns slowly to face him, showing his eyes tinted pink from crying) Hatey... :(
Hater: Hey, Wander. U OK? U want to hv something to eat?
Wander: (sniffles and embraces Hater) ...I guess so...
Hater: [held him close n puts him on his lap] Wat would u like? I'll try my best to make it for u
Wander: (thinks a moment) ...Is hot cocoa possible?
Hater: :) Sure tht I can do. U OK to wait while I do it? Or u wanna come with me to the kitchen? It's time u get some fresh air anyways
Wander: ...I can join, I guess.
Hater: That's good :) [carries Wander in his arms like a child as he brought him to the kitchen, setting him dwn in the counter n went to make hot cocoa]
Wander: (hangs his head slightly, sighing)
Hater: [made the hot cocoa just like how Wildflower made it before handing it to him] Here u go
Wander: (takes a slow sip)
Hater: [leans against the counter with his elbows on it] Feel a little better? Wanna go to the porch to enjoy ur drink?
Wander: ...Okay.
Hater: [carries Wander n made their way to the porch, then sat on the bench as they looked up at the starry night sky]
Wander: (staring at the stars) ...I feel so stupid...
Hater: [turned to him] Why do u think that?
Wander: Leaving her...when she was close to... ;( I should've known if...
Hater: Oh Wander, if anyone should feel stupid it's me... I should've kept an eye on her instead of bothering with that creature. If I had stayed... :( I wished I'd never found it in the first place...
Wander: (leaned into his side) No... Don't say it's your fault...
Hater: Then don't say it's yours either. We knew this day would come... It was just a matter of time... :(
Wander: Mhm... :(
Hater: U just take all the time u need to heal, Wander, but pls don't blame urself for something inevitable or unpredictable, coz it's not anyone's fault
Wander: I'll try... (though something seemed to be on his mind)
Hater: [noticed] I can hear the wheels in ur brain gear rolling, Wander. Something on ur mind?
Wander: ...Nothing. (yawn)
Hater: R u sure? U know u can tell me anything
Wander: Really, it's nothing.
Hater: [sighed] If u say so. U wanna hit the hay?
Wander: (nods sleepily)
Hater: Let's go. I'm also a little tired too (yawn)
Wander: (snuggles against Hater) (yawn)
Hater: [smiled n cuddled him close as he picked him up to bring him to their room, tucking him in before snuggling close to him n slept] |-)
Wander: |-) Zz...(slept close to Hater)
Hater: [knocked on the door] Wander?
Wander: (was laying in bed on his side, hugging himself) ...
Hater: [approaches him n sits next to him] Wander... [stroke his head gently]

Wander: Leaving her...when she was close to... ;( I should've known if...
Hater: Oh Wander, if anyone should feel stupid it's me... I should've kept an eye on her instead of bothering with that creature. If I had stayed... :( I wished I'd never found it in the first place...
Wander: (leaned into his side) No... Don't say it's your fault...
Hater: Then don't say it's yours either. We knew this day would come... It was just a matter of time... :(
Wander: Mhm... :(
Hater: U just take all the time u need to heal, Wander, but pls don't blame urself for something inevitable or unpredictable, coz it's not anyone's fault
Wander: I'll try... (though something seemed to be on his mind)
Hater: [noticed] I can hear the wheels in ur brain gear rolling, Wander. Something on ur mind?
Wander: ...Nothing. (yawn)
Hater: R u sure? U know u can tell me anything
Wander: Really, it's nothing.
Hater: [sighed] If u say so. U wanna hit the hay?
Wander: (nods sleepily)
Hater: Let's go. I'm also a little tired too (yawn)
Wander: (snuggles against Hater) (yawn)
Hater: [smiled n cuddled him close as he picked him up to bring him to their room, tucking him in before snuggling close to him n slept] |-)
Wander: |-) Zz...(slept close to Hater)
Flesh of My Blood-Chp113
[3 days later, after some proper preparation, the funeral was on the way as everyone was on a lone hill underneath a tall old tree]
Wander: (hung his head in silence)
Hater: [stayed close to him, his arm ard his shoulder, squeezing it gently to comfort him]
Treetrunk, Hugo & Firefly: ;( ;( ;( [sobs quietly]
Wander: (leaned into Hater) ;(
Hater: [held him close] ;(
Wander: (held onto Hater)
Angel: (was silent, shedding a tear)
Janet: [opened up the ground so tht they can lower Wildflower who is in her coffin into it]
Wander: :( Mama...
Janet: [her sky was gloomy as she uses her vines to lower the coffin] If ur ready with the ritual, Angel...
Angel: (nods, and softly does his chant)
Wander: ;( ....
Treetrunk&Hugo&Firefly: [slowly joined in the chant]
Hater: [hung his head in silence]
Wander: (buried his face in Hater's chest)
Hater: [squeezed his shoulder comfortingly, encouraging him to join the chant]
Wander: (sniffled and slowly joined the chant as well)
Hater: [doesn't know the chant, but just listened in quietly in respect]
Wander: ;( (kept chanting)
Hater: [gazed ard n sees only Peepers present aside from himself]
Peepers: (held his head in silence) :( ...
[the chant soon finished n Janet covered the hole over the coffin, then materialized a rock that carved Wildflower's name on it n a row of flowers surrounding the grave]
Wander: (sighed) :( ...
Janet: Rest well, Wildie... [her sky got even darker, reflecting her mood]
Hater: [stayed by the grave for a while before turning to Wander] U OK, Wander? U wanna stay here a bit before we go home?
Wander: ... Yes. Stay a while...
Hater: I'll bring the litter inside. Take all the time u need [patted his bk n pushed the baby pram where the litter is bk to Wander's home cabin]
Wander: (kneels by Wildflower's grave, bowing his head in respect) :(...
Treetrunk: [stayed bk while the other sibs helped Angel bk to the cabin, putting his hand on his shoulder] U OK, bro?
Wander: (to himself) She's at peace... but I still can't help but feel... (allows Treetrunk to hold him)
Treetrunk: [hugged him from behind] I know, bro. U were closest to Mama, n u were there on her last moments, sorta. I understand how u feel. I wish I were there. We all do
Wander: (turns to hug him back) ;(
Treetrunk; ;( [hushed him in his tears as he rocked him]
Wander: Mama... mama... ;(
Treetrunk: Shhh... She's in a better place now... It's gonna be OK... [rocks his little brother]
Wander: (hugs back, sniffling)
Treetrunk: [hugged him for quite a while before stroking his face] U good to go bk inside now? I hv a feeling it's gonna rain soon, n u don't wanna get wet
Wander: (hesitates) ...Yeah... I'm good...
Treetrunk: [with his hand ard Wander, helped him up n led him bk to the cabin]
Hater: [just finished tucking the litter in for their nap before serving some finger food to everyone]
Wander: (remained silent)
Hater: [sees him come in with Treetrunk n came to his side, taking over holding him] U OK, Wander?
Wander:...don't worry about me...
Hater: (nod) [rubbed his bk comfortingly before tending to the guests with food n drinks]
Wander: (watches for a bit before sighing and heading for his and Hater's room to lie down for a bit)
Hater: [watched him leave, but decided to let him be for a while to allow him some privacy]
Peepers: (also watched Wander leave, signing) He's taking this quite hard... :(
Hater: :( Yeah, he's very close to her, n I feel he blames himself for not being there wen she's gone
Peepers: (nods sadly) :(
Hater: How is Sylvia? Is she still asleep in her room at the mother ship?
Peepers: (signs) Yup, still in deep sleep.
Hater: At least she's OK. How is the baby doing in her?
Peepers: (signs) Hopefully okay. I've been checking.
Hater: I look forward to ur baby coming soon. It'll be a bit of a change of mood, n Wander would prolly be so happy for his BFF
Peepers: (signs) Who knows, he might not get over this straight away, could take a few days or so...
Hater: Yeah, but ur baby might be born in a few mths, so it'll be just enough time for him to finish mourning
Peepers: (signs) Maybe so.
Hater: Here's to hoping [gestured to the tray of food and drinks] U want anything?
[10/6/2017 8:46:49 AM] Carly: Peepers: (takes a drink)

Wander: Hm... (reaches to pat its head)
Creature: (purred and licked his hand) :P
Wander: (giggle)
Hater: :) So should we keep him or release it bk to the wild once it's better?
Wander: (think) ...Do you want to keep him? He seems to have already grown fond of you.
Creature: (glanced at Hater)
Hater: [a bit hesitant] I dunno... It doesn't feel right, especially after ur mom...
Creature: :( (nuzzled Hater gently)
Hater: [chuckled at the nuzzle] Alright, alright, we're keeping u then. Wat should we name u, eh?
