(In his room)
Hater: (waited nervously for a response on his video caller on his laptop)
Grimm: [answered the call] Yo, bro. Wassup? Haven't heard from u in a while. Still trying to conquer the universe? :D
Hater: Heh, yeah, still doing that. Um, where's sis, Mom and Dad?
Grimm: Sis is with her fiance making out n being gross at the verandah. Dad's in the lounge. Mom... Ehh... Not exactly here per say... [scratched his chin awkwardly]
Hater: What? What happened? She run off with another guy or something? (meant this as a joke)
Grimm: [cringed a little] Ehh... U can sorta say tht... [looking even more awkward]
Hater: :O Wait, she did?
Grimm: Maaaaaybe it's best if we don't talk abt it on the vid call. Why don't u come n visit? We'll tell u all abt it in person. U haven't been home in a while, n Dad's sorta itching to set u up for a suitors' ceremony
Hater: |-( This again?
Grimm: Hey, I tried to stop him, bt u know how Dad is. U didn't want to take over the throne n dumped it on me, it's the least u could do for him to at least hv SOMETHING go his way
Hater: But I can't even get a girlfriend, I don't know if it'll be possible and... :( I don't think I can be around that long...
Grimm: :| Huh? Wat do u mean by tht... [hears something offscreen] Sorry, I gtg. Duty calls. Just come over n visit n we can talk abt this properly, OK? Cya~ (wave) [ends the vid call]
Hater: Wait- (but the video ended just then) ... Gob damnit...
Peepers: [thru the intercom] Sir, sorry to bother u, just want to know which planet r we targeting this time?
Hater: Um...what's avalible?
Peepers: [tells him the list of planets near the area]
Hater: (think)... Let's go for the second option.
Peepers: Right, setting course for Planet Nubela 8 then
Hater: (nod)

As My Heart Dies-Chp2
[Later tht day...]
Hater: (reluctantly made his way to the medical area, taking a seat in one of the waiting chairs)
[a few other Watchdogs were there waiting for their turn, looked at Hater weirdly]
Hater: ... :| What're you all staring at??
Watchdogs: [quickly looked away or pretended to be busy reading their magazines]
Hater: <_< Thought so.
[a few Watchdogs later, it was finally Hater's turn]
Nurse: Lord Hater, the doctor will see u now
Hater: Thanks, Jenny. (heads in to see the medic)
Doc: [sees Hater entering] Ah, Lord Hater. Wat can I do for u today? Is it another paper cut? Sprained thumbs from ur gaming?
Hater: Not this time. Um... haven't been eating much lately and food is starting to taste bitter to me...
Doc: Hmm, wen was the last time u had a full body examination, sir?
Hater: Not... recently?
Doc: Then this calls for a full body examination from head to toe [snaps on the gloves] Shall we? :D
Hater: Let's just get this over with...
[a funny montage of examinations later...]
Doc: [waited for the print out n looked at the results] Hmmm...
Hater: Well? Am I good then?
Doc: Hmmm.... [looks a little concerned n hesitant]
Hater: What?? (isn't liking the look on his face)
Doc: R u sure u wanna hear this? U can come bk later wen ur ready n I can tell u--
Hater: Just TELL me what's going on!!
Doc: [takes a deep breath n sighed] U hv cancer, sir
Hater: (his jaw gaped) ... Okay, this is a joke, right? :D Haha, so funny. Let's pull Lord Haters leg here.
Doc: (shake) [shake his head sadly] No, sir. I don't joke abt this thing. This is ur results. U hv cancer, n it's the rare kind
Hater: (let it sink in) ...Oh gob... Wh-what kind...? (worry)
Doc: My guess is it's the hereditary kind, almost exclusive to Skeletor species. It has a long ancient name, bt the basic is that u hv a rare type of bone cancer. It happens wen something in ur genes or ur DNA that holds ur magic together suddenly becomes loose n untangle, n will start spreading thru ur bones bit by bit until it finally reached the brain n kills u. There is no cure. One of the symptoms is ur changing taste buds
Hater: So...that explains why I couldn't eat much...
Doc: (nod) I can prescribe u some jabs that will normalize ur taste buds, bt u hv to take it every 48 hours or u will nvr be able to enjoy ur food. Ur at stage 1 of the cancer, by stage 2 u will experience occasional loss of control over ur powers, which means u might accidentally spark or burn someone if ur not careful. Stage 3 the sparks will stop, but the loss will continue inwardly as u will feel it in ur bones. Stage 4... Well, it'll be a matter of time before ur brain shuts down n u expire
Hater: Yikes... (worry)
Doc: I hv to tell u as it is, so tht u'll be ready
Hater: R...right...
Doc: U might wanna keep in touch with ur family n ask them for any history of the same illness, since its hereditary. Other than tht, I think it would be safe to say u need to settle all ur affairs n any unfinished business before the inevitable happens
Hater: Y-yeah... I should do that...
Doc: I'm... I'm reli sorry, sir... Reli, I am... [writes the prescription] Here, give this to the nurse n she'll prepare u the jabs for ur taste buds
Hater: (nod) (nodded sadly)
Doc: [hands him the prescription] Don't worry, unless u allow it, I will keep ur condition a secret
Hater: ...Thanks.
Doc: [nodded n went bk to work]
Hater: (got up, almost skaily to give prescription to the nurse)
Nurse: [reads the prescription, then enters to take it n passed him a rather big box] Here u go. A mth's worth of jabs. Take it evry 48 hours, jab it onto ur neck for best results. One dose per jab, n its disposable. Do not reuse the needle. Throw it away once u've done the shot
Hater: (nod) Yes ma'am.
Nurse: Hv a nice day, sir :)
Hater: :) Yeah... (heads out of the medical area) ... :(
Peepers: [had been secretly monitoring Hater to make sure he went to see the doctor, n wen he saw him come out, he casually showed up, pretending to bump into him] Oh, sir! Fancy meeting u here! I was, uh, gonna go get my vitamin prescriptions
Hater: Oh, hey, C Peeps... :^) Have you been listening in this whole time? (hoped he haven't been)
Peepers: Uh, no, I just got here. Why? Wat's wrong? Did the doc say anything? N wat's tht huge box ur carrying there?
Hater: (hides it) Um...nothing...I just... had weird morning aftertaste going on. :D
Peepers: :^) Huh, I see... So nothing serious then? Just a wonky taste bud?
Hater: Yeah, that's all, nothing serious. (could tell Peepers wasn't really buying it)
Peepers: |-( Fine, if u say so. Bt if it's something serious, u will tell me, right?
Hater: :D Yeah, sure. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta...make a call. (hurries past Peepers to get to his bedroom)
Peepers: :| Huh... Wonder wat was tht abt... Well [sighed n shrugged] At least he took my advice n went to see the doctor [left to do his thing]
Hater: (reluctantly made his way to the medical area, taking a seat in one of the waiting chairs)
[a few other Watchdogs were there waiting for their turn, looked at Hater weirdly]

As My Heart Dies-Chp1
(It's a quiet morning on Lord Hater's ship and the Watchdogs are all in the cafeteria getting their breakfast, sitting with each other and chatting away. All but one person...)
Hater: (sat by himself, staring blankly at his still full plate of stacked pancakes covered with whip cream, syrup and strawberries)
Peepers: [noticed him not eating] Sir? R u OK? Wht aren't u eating? It's your favourite
Hater: Guess my appetite changed its dumb mind or something... (flicked at a strawberry)
Peepers: U sure ur alright? Come to think of it u haven't been eating well or much lately. Maybe u should go get a chk up at the medics
Hater: What? No! I'm in fine shape, I just don't feel hungry for some reason! >_<
Peepers: Uh-huh, well, wen ur not eating well, ur blood sugar will go low, n u know wat happens wen ur blood sugar is low, n we can't hv tht, especially if we got tons of planets to conquer. So u better go get tht chk up before we get behind schedule, n u know how I get if we're behind schedule :^)
Hater: |-( Ugh, fine, I'll go check with the medics if it'll shut you up.
Peepers: Good :D Now hv some warm tea at least. Maybe that'll perk ur appetite up [slides a mug of warm tea for him]
Hater: (stared at it then picked it up, taking tiny sips)
Peepers: [continued to eat n engaging small talk with the rest of the crew]
Hater: (grimaced to himself; somehow the tea that should be sweet tasted a bit bitter to him)
Peepers: [occasionally steals a glance at Hater, quietly worried abt him]

[the gang stayed for a couple more weeks so tht Hater can fully recuperate. Soon it was time for them to leave]

Sylvia: It's great knowing u guys. We reli enjoyed our stay here
Wander: :) Don't you be strangers to us either.
Peepers: (signed) Come by anytime. :)

Sylvia: [rolled her eyes humourously]
Litter & Twins: (wave)
Hater: Don't forget to invite us for the official royal wedding when u guys finally decide to tie the knot ;)
Terry: :) We won't.
Brad: Alright, let's go. Let's not keep the galaxy waiting
Sylvia: Wait, ur officially joining our team?
Brad: Hey, we're no longer rivals now. It's a joint conquer right now, right, furball? :p
Hater: (giggle)
Wander: (smirk) Good to know.
[soon they all made their way into the ship n finally set off to space]

Litter & Twins: :D yay~
Wander: :)
Sylvia: Btw Pipsqueak [whispers to Peepers' ear] I'm pregnant
Peepers: :) (signed) Well, that's... O_O (falls over) @_@

Flesh of My Blood-Chp185
[5 hours later...]
Terry: (carressing an egg) :)
Grimm: [also caressing an egg while scribbling on his notepad any good names he could think of, tho most of them r crossed out]
Terry: Know something, Grimmy? I've always liked Theodore.
Grimm: [looked up] Theodore? Why is tht?
Terry: I just always thought of it as a cute name. :)
Grimm: (think) Hmm... (nod) Yeah, it does. Rolls off the tongue pretty well too. Theodore it is. Teddy or Theo for short
Terry: (nod) And what are your name ideas?
Grimm: I dunno, all of them r lame, I don't think I like any of them |-(
Terry: (looks with him) ...What about these two?
Grimm: Wat? Dune and Prim? Kinda... simplistic, isn't it?
Terry: Well, unless you thought of something else...
Grimm: I'm kinda stuck, reli... I dunno, maybe I need to decide wen we see the babies hatch
Terry: (nod) Yeah, maybe seeing their gender will help you decide better.
Grimm: (nod) [then hears a cracking sound] Huh? :|
Terry: :o The eggs?
Grimm: :O Someone better go call Hater. We promised to let him see the hatching
Terry: (nod) We should get Wander to.
Grimm: Right [sends a servant to go get Wander n Hater]
(meanwhile)
Wander: (had been keeping Hater company till he noticed the servant) ?
Servant: Pardon me, Master Wander. Lord Grimm n Lord Terrance requests ur presence. The eggs r hatching
Wander: :o Really? (gnetly shook Hater awake from his nap)
Hater: Hhnn? Mm? What...? Where's the donuts..?
Wander: (giggle) The eggs are about to hatch soon, Hatey.
Hater: Oh, oh, right... [tries to get off the bed bt he still felt a little sore btwn the legs] Mmhh... >m<
Wander: Here. (helped Hater up)
Hater: [stood up n leaned against the bed] I might need a wheelchair. My feet still kinda hurts to step on [gesturing to his still healing injuries]
Wander: (nod) (turns to Medic) We need a wheelchair for Hatey.
Medic: Right away, sir (nod) [leaves for a few mins, then came bk with a wheelchair]
Wander: (helps Hater to be seated in it)
Hater: [sat dwn slowly] Let's go before we miss the hatching
Servant: Right this way, sire
Wander: (held Hater's hand) :)
Servant: [wheeled Hater n led Wander to the royal master bedroom]
Grimm: [sees them coming] Great! Ur just in time. The first baby is almost all out :)
Terry: :D (watching eagerly)
Wander: :)
[the first egg was soon fully cracked, revealing a carbon copy of Terry, altho green static seems to spark off from the baby's body as it let out it's first cry]
Terry: Look, Grimmy... :)
Grimm: [sees the baby, then covered his mouth in awe, tears of joy coming out] Oh... It's beautiful... ;(
Terry: (petted his shoulder) ^^
Hater: Wat gender is it?
Terry: (checks) ... :) It's our daughter.
Grimm: [looks at her for a while, then stares at the name Terry had picked] ...Primrose. We'll call her Primrose. Prim or Sparky for nickname :)
Terry: :) I love it. (sees the second egg hatching)
Hater: [watches eagerly as well]
[The second egg soon hatched, revealing a Skeletor baby, bt with slightly protruding scale markings on its body]
Terry: :O Oh wow...
Hater: Woah... :O
Grimm: Huh, guess the Skeletor genes is strong on this one
Terry: (checked its gender) It's a boy.
Grimm: Aww, he's adorable too
Hater: Got a name for him?
Terry: What about... Impact?
Wander: :) Cute..
Grimm: It's nice, bt why tht name?
Terry: :) Making an impact on our lives along with Primrose.
Third Egg: (starts hatching as well)
Hater: I can see the sentiment (giggle)
Grimm: Here comes the last one :)
Wander: :)
(out of the egg hatches a lizard child with light green skin and boney limbs like Grimm's)
Hater: Guess this one is a mix of us both
Grimm: Wat gender is this one?
Terry: (checked) Our second little boy. :) Our Theodore.
Grimm: (nod) It suits him
Hater: Two boys n a girl. Nice [twiddled his thumbs] Umm... Can I...?
Terry: :) Hold them? Sure you can.
Hater: [held out his arms]
Grimm: [picks the babies up n puts them in his arms] :) Here u go
Babies: (snuggled against Hater, whimpering)
Wander: :)
Hater: :) [smiled thru his tears of joy]
Grimm: U know, Hater, I've been meaning to ask... [takes a deep breath] Wat do u think abt taking over the throne?
Wander: ?
Terry: But Grimmy...?
Hater: Wait, wat?
Grimm: Look, hear me out. It's clear that ur the eldest son, n ur technically the rightful heir of the throne. If u want to, I can train u, teach u to be a ruler. U can become a true Lord, ruling over a planet like ur supposed to. Dad denied u ur rightful place, n pushed this to me. It's... It's the least I can do after wat Dad did, wat I should've done for u wen we were younger. If I were stronger, braver, stood up against Dad sooner, we... We would've been great bros together... :(
Wander: ... Are you okay with this, Hatey?
Terry: Are you sure about this, Grimmy?
Grimm: I'm sure, bt only if Hater wants it
Hater: [thought long n hard abt it, then sighed n smiled] No. I don't want it
Grimm: R u sure? I mean, the throne belongs to u...
Hater: I know. I mean, don't get me wrong. I've always dreamed of coming bk to my home, taking my rightful place in the throne, be called a Lord again. But... [puts his hand on Wander's] I think I know where I truly belong
Wander: :) (gripped his hand back)
Grimm: R u reli sure abt this?
Hater: Yeah, I'm good. I'm married to a Conqueror, he's a Lord by his own right, n I hv a family of my own. Wat could be better than that? I think ur better suited to be a ruler than I could. N besides, my husband is the ruler of a bunch of planets, n I think I got the better end of the deal. I appreciate the gesture, bt I'm good [nuzzled Wander]
Wander: ^^ (nuzzled back)
Terry: :) I'd think you'd make a great ruler too, Grimmy. (kisses his cheek)
Grimm: Heh, well, yeah, I had 18 yrs of training for it [chuckled] But ur welcomed here anytime. No more ambushes
Hater: There better not be
Wander: (giggle)
Hater: [passed the triplets to Terry] Here ya go. Better bond with ur mommy now
Terry: (held Primrose and Theodore, handing Impact to Grimm) :)
Grimm: [takes Impact n cuddled it close] Who's my cute little baby~? (inlove)
Impact: (giggle)
Terry: (nuzzled Primrose and Theodore) ^^
Primrose n Theodore: :D
Hater: [leaned against Wander] I think they're in good hands, Wander
Wander: :) They really are.
Terry: (carressing an egg) :)
Grimm: [also caressing an egg while scribbling on his notepad any good names he could think of, tho most of them r crossed out]
Terry: Know something, Grimmy? I've always liked Theodore.

Hater: Yeah, I'm good. I'm married to a Conqueror, he's a Lord by his own right, n I hv a family of my own. Wat could be better than that? I think ur better suited to be a ruler than I could. N besides, my husband is the ruler of a bunch of planets, n I think I got the better end of the deal. I appreciate the gesture, bt I'm good [nuzzled Wander]
Wander: ^^ (nuzzled back)
Terry: :) I'd think you'd make a great ruler too, Grimmy. (kisses his cheek)
Grimm: Heh, well, yeah, I had 18 yrs of training for it [chuckled] But ur welcomed here anytime. No more ambushes
Hater: There better not be
Wander: (giggle)
Hater: [passed the triplets to Terry] Here ya go. Better bond with ur mommy now
Terry: (held Primrose and Theodore, handing Impact to Grimm) :)
Grimm: [takes Impact n cuddled it close] Who's my cute little baby~? (inlove)
Impact: (giggle)
Terry: (nuzzled Primrose and Theodore) ^^
Primrose n Theodore: :D
Hater: [leaned against Wander] I think they're in good hands, Wander
Wander: :) They really are.
Flesh of My Blood-Chp184
[the rest of the day was spent with Wander n the litter catching up on stuff, just bonding, with the occasional visitors coming in to see how Hater was doing, later tht night, in the middle of the night...]
Hater: [was trying to sleep but was tossing n turning, feeling rather uncomfortable all of a sudden]
Wander: (was asleep in his chair) |-)
Hater: [slowly sat up, having an almost familiar uneasy feeling. He checked his body to see if his injuries were making him uncomfortable, which they weren't since his fractures hv already healed during his coma, then his hand went to his baby bump] (think: Could it be...?)
Wander: Mmm... (yawn) ?
Hater: [turns to Wander] W-Wander...? I... I think it might be time... My water hasn't broke yet, bt I'm feeling very uncomfortable right now... :(
Wander: :O (presses the button to call the medical team)
Nurse: [pops her head in] Yes, sir? U rang?
Wander: The babies are about to arrive soon.
Nurse: [came in to chk Hater's vitals n monitored the baby bump] Yes, he's at the first stages of labour. I believe he follows closely to Lord Terrance's species' pregnancy, he'll be experiencing bodily discomfort for the nxt few moments before the water breaks. Maybe u would like to go inform Lord Grimm n Lord Terrance first? There's still time
Hater: (nod) Its OK, Wander. I can handle it. Go call Grimm n Terry
Wander: (nod) (touched Hater's hand and hurried to get Grimm and Terry)
Grimm: [was staying up late doing paperwork for state affairs]
Wander: (poked his head in) Grimm?
Grimm: [jumped a little] U startled me. Pls knock before doing tht, Wanda [had taken to calling Wander tht nickname since he's been staying here]
Wander: ^^;; Right sorry. Where's Terry? The eggs are coming soon.
Grimm: Reli? He's in bed in our room right now. I'll go call him right away [gets up quickly to leave his office with Wander]
Wander: (nod)
Terry: (in bed) |-) Zzz
Grimm: [hurriedly made his way to their royal master bedroom n came to Terry, shaking him gently] Terry? Terry, love, wake up
Terry: Hmm? (yawn)
Grimm: Terry, wake up, quick. The babies r coming. We need to go to the med wing right now
Terry: :O Babies? Now? (got up quickly)
Grimm: No, tomorrow (giggle) Yes, now. C'mon, Wanda is waiting for us outside'
Terry: :) (followed Grimm and Wander)
[the trio made their way to the med wing, where Hater was being supported by some nurses as they walked ard the room to help him along with the birth]
Hater: [takes deep breaths as he walked ard the room]
Wander: I brought them, Hatey. How you holding up?
Hater: M-My water just broke... They're... (huff) trying to get me to walk ard to help bring dwn the eggs... (puff)
Grimm: [takes ovr supporting Hater] Take it easy, we're here for u, bro
Wander: (also held Hater's hand)
Terry: (stood nearby)
Hater: [walked the room until he reached where Terry was standing n smiled despite the pain] U... U wanna feel it...? The baby bump...?
Terry: (looked surprised and slowly pressed his hand against Hater's belly)
Hater: [smiled as he put his hands on Terry's shoulders for support, letting him caress his belly] U nvr got to touch or bond with it since I started getting pregnant... U better get started...
Grimm: :) [caress it as well together with Terry] Its our babies, Terry...
Terry: :) Our babies...
Hater: [whimpered as he doubled ovr, another gush of liquid coming out btwn his legs]
Midwife: Oh, looks like the second layer of water has broken. I think its time to get to bed, Master Hater
Wander: (nod) (helped Hater towards the bed)
Hater: S-Second layer...?
Midwife: Like the nurse said, ur following Lord Terrance's species' pregnancy. They hv two layers of amniotic fluids to keep the eggs well protected
Grimm: Well, u learn something new everyday
Wander: (helps Hater into bed) Easy does it now...
Hater: [breathes hard, then gasped as he finally felt the contractions, n he screamed out loud, caught off guard by how painful it was]
Wander: (held his hand petting it)
Grimm: I-Is he supposed to scream like tht?
Midwife: Don't worry, its normal. Just tell me wen u feel like pushing, Master Hater
Wander: You can do this, Hatey.
Terry: (worry)
Midwife: U might wanna help out as well, Lord Terrance. Help him massage his belly while he pushes.
Hater: Gob, oh gob, I feel like pushing...!! Nnngghh...!!
Midwife: [chk him] Ur good. Go for it
Terry: (nod) O...okay. (helped rub Hater's belly)
Grimm: [helped support Hater in his birthing position n held his hand] We're right here, bro. Ur doing great
Hater: [pushed at each contraction] Oh goooobbb...!!
Wander: It's okay, Hatey, it'll all be over soon.
Hater: [feels it crowning] Oh gob oh gob oh gob...!! Its coming... Its coming...!!
Midwife: The egg is crowning. Keep at it, don't stop
Terry: (kept rubbing his stomach)
Wander: (petted his hand some more)
Hater: It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...!!
Grimm: We got u, bro, we got u. Its OK
Midwife: Just one more push, Master Hater
Hater: [groaned out loud as he pushed dwn hard] Gaaahhhh!!!
Wander: You're doing great, Hatey.
Midwife: [catches the egg] Here comes Egg #1
Hater: Oh gob... Its coming again...!! [feels another crowning]
Grimm: Already??
Midwife: Its coming pretty fast [passes the first egg to the nurse] Keep going now, don't stop
Terry: Keep pushing when you can.
Wander: Easy, Hater. Easy.
Hater: [spent the nxt 10 min pushing for dear life, until finally the second egg pops out] Aaagghhh!!!
Midwife: I got it! Egg #2
Hater: Oh gob, make it stop...!! [cries hard as he felt the last one already starting to come out] ;(
Wander: (kissed Hater's forehead) It's okay, it's okay, Hatey, we're almost done...
Hater: I can't.... I can't... It hurts...!! ;(
Grimm: I knw it hurts. I can't evn imagine being in ur shoes, bt u got this, bro. U got this [rubbed his bk]
Wander: You've got this... (kissed him gently)
Hater: ;( It hurts...!! It reli hurt...!! I'm gonna die, this is how I'm gonna die~~!! ;(
Midwife: Ur not going to die, Master Hater, ur doing vry well. Just keep going n it'll be all ovr soon
Wander: It's alright, Hatey. (held his hand tight)
Grimm: We're all here for u, bro. Ur doing great
Hater: [sniffled as he finally takes a few deep breaths before pushing with the contractions]
Midwife: Yes, tht's it, tht's vry good. Keep it coming
Terry: (helped rub his belly some more)
Hater: [spent another 10 mins pushing the egg out, his face covered in tears n sweat]
Midwife: Almost there! Almost there! Last push!
Grimm: [helps Terry to massage Hater's belly together]
Hater: [threw his head bk n let out a scream as he pushed one last time] AAAAAGGGGHHH!!!
Midwife: [catches the egg] Here we go! Last one, Egg #3
Wander: :) You did it, Hatey. You really did it.
Hater: [pants hard as he fell bk onto the bed]
Grimm: U did great, bro. U did reli great. I can't thank u enough [gave Hater a brotherly kiss on the forehead]
Wander: :) (petted his forehead)
Terry: :)
Midwife: [came to them with the freshly clean eggs] Here u go [passed the eggs to Hater]
Hater: [cradled them close for a while, then gave each egg a kiss before passing the bundle tiredly to Terry] Here u go...
Terry: (held the eggs close) I'm...I'm finally a mommy... :)
Grimm: [shook a bit before pulling dwn his hood, covering his face as his shoulders shook more, a small sniffle escaped his lips]
Hater: G-Grimm? Bro, u OK...?
Wander: (giggle) Trust me, Grimm, I understand that feeling.
Hater: U better let him hold some of the eggs before he cries a river [chuckled tiredly]
Terry: Aw, here, Grimmy. Do you want to hold them? (held out the bundle)
Grimm: [looked up with tear-stained eyes as he sees the eggs, then took the bundle n cuddled them close] I'm a daddy... I'm a daddy... ;(
Terry: :) (hugged Grimm)
Midwife: Well better be ready with more tissues for urself coz those eggs will soon hatch on its own in 5 hours time (giggle)
Grimm: 5 hours? I... I get to see our babies' faces in 5 hours?
Terry: We both can...?
Wander: :) Better start thinking names then.
Grimm: Oh we will, yes, we will. We better put them in the nursery now, umm, if it's okay with u, Hater?
Hater: Yeah, I'm good. U go ahead. I just wanna catch some shut-eye. Just lemme know wen they're hatching
Terry: (nod) (followed Grimm to the nursery)
Wander: (stayed by Hater's side) :) How do you feel, Hatey?
Hater: [was quiet for a moment, then...] ;(
Wander: :( Hater... (petted his forehead)
Hater: I know I said I would give it to them willingly, tht it's their babies n they hv the right to it... Bt it... It doesn't hurt any less... ;(
Wander: :( Memories from being a slave huh?
Hater: [nodded] The same feeling tht I... I don't own them... I don't get to keep them... It's their babies... Bt at the same time, it's mine too... I... I feel terrible for thinking like that... Like I'm being selfish... ;(
Wander: :( But you still have our litter and twins...
Hater: I know... ;( I just...feel a little sad still after all... I did carry the babies to term... I can't help feeling attached wen I shouldn't...
Wander: I know...I know...(gently kissed him)
Hater: [kissed him bk] I just hv to tell myself that I'm doing the right thing, tht they'll take good care of them
Wander: (nod) They will.
Hater: (yawn) Oh gob, I'm so tired... Will u wake me wen the hatching starts?
Wander: :) Sure.
Hater: Thanks... I love u, Wander... [kissed him before closing his eyes n falls asleep] |-)
Wander: Love you, too, Hater... (left him to rest)
Hater: [was trying to sleep but was tossing n turning, feeling rather uncomfortable all of a sudden]

Flesh of My Blood-Chp183
[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: ^^
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: 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)
