Fishes In The Sea-Chp127

[meanwhile at the dining hall...]

Wander: [was sitting on Hater's lap n was being fed] Ahh~

Hater: :) (cradled him close, feeding him)

Wander: Mmm~ :p

Hater: (giggle)

Dominator: [shows up with Sylvia] Yo, Bones! Wat's cookin'?

Wander: [sees Sylvia] Syl~! :D

Sylvia: (wave) Hey, buddy.

Hater: Hey, guys. :) Feeding Wander.

Wander: ^w^ [opened his mouth at Hater to be fed]

Dominator: Heh, its like looking at a baby bird being fed

Hater: (feeds Wander) A little. (giggle)

Wander: Amm~~ Nom nom nom... [ate happily]

Dominator: I take it he's doing well

Hater: (nod) Yup.

Wander: [nuzzled against Hater, nomming happily]

Dominator: Well, at least u had a good day today [stretched her neck to remove the kinks]

Hater: What, something happen with you guys?

Sylvia: ^^;; Well...

Dominator: |-( [sighed n told him everything tht had just happened]

Hater: :O Whoa... and Awesome did WHAT to Axe and Axel? >:c

Dominator: Ah, it's bound to happen one way or another, from wat I heard, ur dumbass friend is not a fan of the rubber (giggle) Let him be, it's abt time he settled dwn anyways, n he's the Emperor, in his planet, he's allowed to hv more than one wife. Just let him marry those poor girls n they'll be set for life

Hater: |-( Well dad might not be so happy about this...

Sylvia: (giggle)

Dominator: Why not? They're just servants, u can always get new ones. N they're gonna marry an Emperor, he should be happy abt their good fortune

Wander: [got bored of waiting for Hater to feed him since Hater was busy talking n tried to reach for the food on the table]

Hater: Yeah. (noticed Wander reaching) :O Hold on, you.

Sylvia: :D Hehe.

Wander: [whined as he tried to reach for the banana]

Dominator: He's... not talking much, is he?

Sylvia: Not completely out of his state yet.

Hater: (takes banana and unpeels) There you go. :)

Wander: [noms the banana happily]

Dominator: [sees his belly] Wow, his baby bump sure is big. How many do u reckon is inside there?

Hater: Possibly a litter. (blush)

Dominator: A litter? How many in a litter do they usually hv? :O

Sylvia: 4 to 6. :)

Dominator: Daaaaaayyyuuuummmm~~ That's a lot! :O

Sylvia: (nod) Yup, Wander himself's got a pretty big family too.

Dominator: Reli? Does he hv like 10 siblings or something?

Wander: 4~ :D Me runt! Hehehe

Sylvia: (giggle) In other words, the youngest.

Dominator: Heh, the baby in the family, eh? Must be nice, getting pampered all day

Wander: [giggled as he ate some more]

Hater: mhm. (fed him)

Sylvia: :)

Dominator: Oh, I heard word as well tht Grimm is getting along nicely with his fiance nowadays. Their wedding might evn actually happen

Hater: :) Oh, good for him.

Wander: [giggled] Hear much! U spy? Hehehe~ :D

Dominator: Huh? :^) [doesnt reli get Wander's words]

Hater: ^^;; A little woozy there.

Dominator: Wen is he due tho?

Hater: Should be any day...

Dominator: [did a mental calculation] Well, most likely Furball is gonna hv the baby first, then Doll here, then Pretty Boy last. Geez, Mr Stork is definitely making a huge delivery XD

Sylvia: Pretty much.

Dominator: Ur definitely gonna get ur hands full there, Bones (smirk)

Hater: ^^;; Oh boy.

Wander: U too~ :D

Dominator: Not as much as u, furball ;p

Sylvia: :D Yep.

Fishes In The Sea-Chp126

[meanwhile, at the royal gardens, Dominator, Sylvia n the bros were having a bit of a dine-out lunch to enjoy n relax]

Dominator: So how's it going with u guys n the fish sisters? (smirk)

Bill: Ahh, u knw, the usual (blush)

Gil: We're getting close... sorta (blush)

Phil: (blush) They're pretty~

Sylvia: (giggle)

Dominator: Well, I guess maybe u guys should-- [got interrupted wen heavy footsteps n loud shouting was heard]

Awesome: YOU! I've got a bone to pick with u three!!

Aymie: Awesome, stop!!

Sylvia: :O Uh oh.

Bill: Huh?

Phil: Wat the...?

Awesome: [storms up towards them] U!! U three been screwing ard with my sisters??

Anna: Brother, stop it!!

Bill: Woah, woah, chill out, wats ur problem??

Awesome: My problem is u dating my sisters, n I don't like that! Ur not allowed! I don't approve either of u!!

Sylvia: And just what's wrong with my brothers dating your sisters?? >:cAwesome: Nothing, other than the fact tht I dont trust them, coz they're probably filthy liars n will break my sisters' hearts like u did with me!

Aymie: So it IS true! Ur biased coz of ur ex! >:C

Anna & Alice: Yeah!! >:C

Sylvia: Now, hold on here, Fishface-

Awesome: I told u, SYLVIA, u don't get to call me tht!! So wat if it is? Fine! I admit it! She broke my heart!! She led me on believing tht she's into me, n then broke my heart, on my very first date with her in fact! A liar like tht comes frm a family of liars! N I will NOT associate u with these bunch of liars!!

Bill: Now hold on there just a min, just bcoz my sister made a mistake, doesn't mean we'll make the same mistake!

Gil: Yeah! Ur fault too for not finding out more abt our sister in the first plc n just jumped into the relationship! N wat does us dating ur sisters gotta do with Sylvia? We're totally different ppl!

Phil: Yeah and it's your sisters' choices to make here, NOT yours!

Awesome: Well, I'm the Emperor of Planet Marina, n I'm their big brother, n I say no means no! Evn if I hv to lock my sisters in a dungeon, they're not going anywhere near u guys! No sisters of mine are gonna elope or run off with men I dont approve!

Aymie: Ugh! Ur such an ass, bro!

Anna: A really big one!

Alice: And we hate you! You hear?? HATE you!!

Awesome: I dont care if ur gonna hate me, as long as u dont associate urself with the likes of them

Bill: Not if we hv anything to say abt it [put up a fight stance] We'll fight for them, if tht's wat it takes

Gil: Yeah, lets pound some sense into him

Sylvia: :P Go get him, boys.

Awesome: Three of u trying to take me on? Bring it! Evn if u win, I still won't let u hv ur way, bt I'd like to see u try (evilgrin)

Phil: CHARGE!!!

Sylvia: :D (laughs)

[the three bros ran to Awesome, n the 4 of them started roughhousing each other, fighting to the death]

Sylvia: (turns to Dominator) ;)

Dominator: [watches them fight] Ooh, that's gotta hurt. They pack a punch. As much as I enjoy watching ppl killing each other, u reli think tht's a good idea to let them fight? I got a feeling, win or lose, tht Fishbrain is not gonna let them get their way

Sylvia: You have a better idea, then?

Dominator: [shrugged] Not reli, I'm just saying, win or lose, ur bros are not gonna get his sisters

Sylvia: But they have been wrestling a long time. (think)

Girls: (cheering on Sylvia's bros) :D

[Awesome & the trio continued fighting, each not backing dwn]

Sylvia: ...You suggest we interfer, Dee?

Dominator: Yeah, probably, before they end up killing each other. Allow me, u stay here

Sylvia: (nod)

Dominator: [went towards them] Step aside, coming thru [ushered the sisters to make way before finding an opening, then dashed in n sucker-punched all four of them in lightning speed, sending them flying off in different directions]

Sylvia: >_o That gotta hurt.

Girls: :O!!

Dominator: [went to each person n dragged their unconscious body bk to the gang one by one until they're all laid before her feet, dusting her hands] There, tht should do it. Hand me the lemonade jug, doll

Sylvia: (does so)

Dominator: [takes the jug n then pours it ovr the guys, waking them up abruptly]

Trio: (doh) Ack! Phbbt! Phbbtt!! [coughed spluttered]

Awesome: (doh) Blargh! (cough cough cough)

Sylvia: XD

Girls: ^^;;

Dominator: Right, now tht I hv ur attention, listen up [turns to the bros] Go to ur ladies. They need u

Trio: (nod) (nod) (nod) [got up n went to Awesome's sisters]

Dominator: [turns to Awesome] You! Sure, Sylvia hid the truth frm u, bt hv u ever let her hv the chance to explain herself?

Awesome: Wha...?

Dominator: Wen u tried to advance to her, flirt with her or court her during those times, didnt u notice any signs tht she might not be into it?

Awesome: I... I guess she was being a little distant...

Dominator: And yet hv u ever asked why is she like this?

Awesome: Of course I tried, bt she kept saying she's okay...

Dominator: Hv u actually tried to pursue it? Ask her properly? Persuade her to tell u the truth?

Awesome: I...

Sylvia: ... :(

Dominator: Sounds like a pretty one-sided relationship to me. Do u even care abt anyone bt urself?

Awesome: I do care!

Dominator: Not enough to respect Sylvia's circumstances apparently

Sylvia: Or your sisters' choice on whom they want to love. (shake)

Dominator: Ur making this all abt you, you and you. Well guess wat? Just bcoz ur an Emperor, doesn't mean the world revolves ard u, not unless ur a conquerer like me

Awesome: [pouted] ....

Sylvia: Well, Fishface?

Girls: (worry)

Dominator: It's time u let go, n u hv more important things to worry abt than ur ex's bros breaking ur sisters' hearts

Awesome: W-What important things?

Sylvia: (think) For one thing, perhaps focusing on stuff you've always wanted to do, beides partying that is. ANd maybe think on settling down?

Dominator: Besides a little bird told me tht u might wanna consider paying attention to the ones that ur currently screwing right now

Awesome: Wat does tht supposed to mean? Is there something wrong with me dating Bonehead's maids?

Dominator: No, bt tht little bird also told me tht u probably should've invested on condoms more often (smirk)

Sylvia: (facepalm) of course.

Girls: (giggle)

Awesome: Wait... U... U don't mean... :O

Dominator: Why don't u go find out urself? Both ur playmates r at the medical wing right now

Bill: Woah, no way! :O

Gil: U don't mean... :O

Phil: :O Duuuude...

Girls: :O ... (hearteyes) We're aunties??

Aymie: Ooh, ur in trouble now, bro~ (giggle)

Awesome: Sh-Shut up! I... I gtg... [gets up, stumbled a bit before making his way bk to the palace]

Dominator: There. tht settles it

Sylvia: (nod) Sure did.

Bill: Th-Thanks, Dom. I dunno wat to say...

Dominator: Just treat ur girls right, tht's all I ask

Aymie: Oh, Phil, r u okay? U need to see the doc? :(

Phil: (holding his arm) I've had worse, but yeah, check it just in case.

Aymie: (nod) C'mon, girls, lets bring our boo-s to the med wing [takes Phil's hand]

Phil: (blush) (follows her)

Alice & Anna: (nod) (help Bill & Gil)

Bill: [nuzzled against Alice] ^w^

Gil: [purred as he took Anna's hand as well]

Sylvia: (watches them leave) (smirk) Hehe.

Dominator: :D I've got a good feeling tht things will work out frm here

Sylvia: (nod) Let's hope so.

Dominator: U alright? Little Bean doing alright? [stroke her baby bump]

Sylvia: :) They're doing okay. (think) Hmm...

Dominator: Wat's wrong? Something in ur mind?

Sylvia: Just been thinking about Wander. Think he'd be awake by now?

Dominator: Maybe. U wanna go chk him out?

Sylvia: (nod) And perhaps grab a bite. Or two. (giggle)

Dominator: Still hungry? Didnt we just hv lunch out here with ur bros? (giggle)

Sylvia: (giggle) Blame our little Bean.

Dominator: Alright, we'll just leave the stuff out there then for the hired help to clean up. Lets go find ur furball

Sylvia: (nod)

Fishes In The Sea-Chp125

[time passes, n while Sylvia mended her relationship with her bros while helping them to court Awesome's sisters, n while Peepers helped Brad thru his pregnancy anyway he could, it was almost time for Wander to wake frm his hibernation]

Wander: [slowly stirring] Nnnhh...

Hater: (was checking on him) Sunshine...?

Wander: (yawn) Nnnhh... [felt his whole body sore frm being bedridden so long] Mmmhh... Sore...

Hater: :) Hey, Wander.

Wander: Mmhh... [slowly opened his eyes, his feral eye colour hasnt changed, bt at least he wasn't violent] Hatey...?

Hater: (gently stroked the nomad's head) The one and only. :)

Wander: Mmhh... [stretched hard, getting rid of the cricks in his body, then noticed his considerably big baby bump] B-Baby...?

Hater: (nod) Any day now...

Wander: Big... [his brain seems to still be stuck in feral mode as his words didnt come out a lot, bt at least he was talking as he stroke his big belly]

Hater: (petted the nomad's back)

Wander: [yawned n leaned against Hater] Syl...? Dom...? Peeps...? Bradley...?

Hater: They're all doing okay. :)

Wander: :) Hungry...

Hater: (giggle) Anything you'd like?

Wander: Umm... (think)

??: No, no, no!! Absolutely not!! [there was yelling dwn outside the hallway]

Wander: :O [goes under the covers, his feral mode made him go to protect baby mode]

Hater: :O Huh??

??: Tht's not fair!! Ur dating too!!

??: At least I'm not dating those... those goons!

Wander: (worry) [shaking under the covers]

Hater: What the...?

[the bickering continued dwn the hallway, n it was too loud to just sit there n ignore]

Hater: :( (petted Wander's head) Be right back. (goes to investigate)

Wander: :( [stayed under the covers]

[dwn the hallway, towards the foyer, was Awesome n his sisters, yelling at each other at the top of their lungs]

Awesome: I'm ur big brother! Emperor of Planet Marina! And I say ur NOT allowed to date those morons!

Aymie: Just admit it! Ur being biased! U just dont want them to date us bcoz u dont wanna deal with ur ex!!

Anna & Alice: Yeah!!

Hater: (walked up) Uh...am I interupting?

Awesome: Nothing I can't handle, Bonehead. Just trying to tell my dumb sisters tht they can't date those brawn for brains zbornaks!

Aymie: They're NOT brawn for brains! >:C

Anna: Just because of what happened with you and their sister, doesn't mean it'll happen with us too!

Hater: ^^;;

Awesome: This has got nothing to do with me and Bee! I just don't want u to get hurt by those goons! I don't trust them!

Aymie: Oh, n ur expecting us to trust those twin maids ur currently screwing? How is that fair?!

Hater: Um, Awesome? Maybe it'd be best you'd just let them be happy with what they want. :D

Awesome: Yeah, well, I'm not happy! Why do I hv to be miserable just so they can be happy??

Aymie: Ur only miserable bcoz they ur ex's bros! Why can't u just take the hint and let it go?!

Alice: :| And really, your feelings have to be more important then ours?! Screw you!!

Awesome: And ur feelings are more important than mine? U would rather see me unhappy?! Ur basically a pot calling the kettle black!

Aymie: Well I'm not leaving Bill just bcoz u got ur own problems with ur ex! I'll... I'll elope if I hv to!

Anna & Alice: US too!!

Hater: o_o;;

Awesome: :O ...!!! THAT'S IT!!! (angry) [stomps off, bent on the kill]

Aymie: W-Wait!! Where do u think ur going?! Don't u dare hurt them!! [chases after Awesome]

Anna & Alice: :O (chase after him as well)

Hater: (stood there, feeling awkward) ...

Wander: [was out of his covers n peeking timidly from the door] ...Hatey...? :(

Hater: ... Just an argument. (headed back over to the nomad)

Wander: [holds up his arms like a child asking to be carried] Hungry...

Hater: (nod) (picks up Wander and carries him towards the kitchen)

Fishes In The Sea-Chp124

[meanwhile...]

Peepers: [was laying against Brad, listening to his baby bump] =w=

Brad: (blush) Eager, Pumpkin?

Peepers: Yeah, I look forward to seeing our little baby, or babies

Brad: (giggle) (nuzzled Peepers' head)

Magica: [sees Brad n Peepers so lovey-dovey n crawls towards them, tugging at their shirt] Muu~ Muu...

Brad: :) Aw, hi sweetie.

Peepers: Hey there, sweetness [picks him up] U wanna hear ur baby sibling inside mummy's tummy?

Magica: Nyu~ >w<

Brad: ^^ C'mere, honey.

Magica: Muu~ [leans forward to press his head against the baby bump, trying to listen]

Peepers: Hear anything, sweetness?

Brad: :) ?

Magica: [listens in, giggled, then proceeded to do baby talk at his baby bump]

Peepers: (giggle) Aww, tht's cute

Brad; (giggle) Trying to talk with his new sibling(s).

Peepers: Yup, totally

Magica: [kept on babbling towards his baby bump]

Brad: :) Speaking of which, I've a few name ideas just in case of another son or a daughter. (held up a small list) See what you think of them.

Peepers: [scanned thru the list] Wow, u put a lot of thought into it. They all sound nice, bt which one is ur favourite so far?

Brad: (think) Well, if it's a daughter, Maria stands out the most.

Peepers: Hmm, I kinda like this one [points at the boy's name] Oculus if it's a boy

Brad: (giggle) That an eyeball pun?

Peepers: Yeah, we sometimes tend to hv eyeball pun for names, like my name Peepers ;p

Brad: :) Should've figured.

Peepers: I guess we pretty much decided on it, either Maria or Oculus

Brad: (blush) Or both, just in case.

Peepers: Heh, ur hoping for both? (blush)

Brad: A little? (giggle)

Peepers: Well, Magica would definitely hv quite a number of playmates to play with

Brad: (nod) Mhm.

Peepers: [looks at Magica still babbling at Brad's baby bump] Looks like he's reli into talking to his new sib there. Do u think he's reli...?

Brad: Maybe...?

Peepers: I mean... He's got magic powers we dont evn knw abt, especially during tht time wen he was kidnapped at tht planet...

Brad: True... (think)

Peepers: Hv u evr tried figuring out wat other powers he might hv?

Brad: Not recently. Have you?

Peepers: I will protect u, my star, n ur under Lord Fury's protection. As long as we're here, we'll be safe

Brad: I know you will... (kiss)

Magica: [giggled as he kissed Brad's baby bump]

Brad: (giggle)

Peepers: So, sweetness, find out if ur future sibling is a girl or boy? [was asking it just for fun]

Magica: Guu! [takes a toy flower n puts it on Brad's baby bump, smiling proudly] :D

Brad: :) Heh, cute. So the flower must mean...?

Magica: Guu! :D [picks up another toy, which is a bunny in a tutu dress n puts on Brad's baby bump]

Peepers: Woah... :O I think he just answered ur question

Brad: :O I'm...We're having a girl...?

Magica: Guu, guu, guu! :D [bounced happily]

Peepers: :O

Brad: ... ;(

Magica: Mm? Mama? :( [looked at both of them, wondering if he said something wrong]

Peepers: Oh sweetness, we're not angry, there, there [cuddles Magica close]

Brad: That's right... I'm just happy. :) (cuddles Magica also)

Magica: Mwee~ Papa, Mama >w< [nuzzled them both]

Peepers: Ur one special little baby there, Magica, yes u are

Brad: (hug)

Fishes In The Sea-Chp123

[meanwhile...]

Dominator: [was at the sitting lounge by the fire watching Sylvia knit]

Sylvia: Hmm... (stitched in places)

Dominator: [sighed] Alright, that's it, doll

Sylvia: :O eh?

Dominator: U hv put it off log enough. Wen r u gonna actually talk to ur bros?

Sylvia: ... Does it matter?

Dominator: Yes it does. I told u, I don't want things to be awkward btwn ur bros n our Little Bean. U want them to be Little Bean's uncle, bt ur not making the effort to mend the relationship. U hv been dodging them n letting them go off like lovesick puppies after ur ex's sisters, which btw he prolly won't appreciate it since he's still sore abt u breaking up with him

Sylvia: ...You're gonna lock me in a room with them if I keep refusing?

Dominator: I'm thinking of dragging them in here right now n locking this door until u three sort it out :^)

Sylvia: ... Go get them.

Bill: Mom used up all of Dad's money inheritance aftr he died, spending it all on herself n not us, we had to earn our own money, n evn then, she would steal it frm us wen she needed extra cash

Phil: Wen she sold us off, tht was the last we heard of her. It was the last straw. Aftr yrs of working as a mafia enforcer, getting stuck in jail, n then getting bought to become a fighter in a travelling fighting ring, we gave up hope of evr finding u

Gil: We didnt want to, bt we did. We decided ur no longer worth finding if ur wouldnt bother finding us. We were prepared to just fight to the death

Sylvia: Willing to die...because of me...? ;(

Trio: We've got nothing to live for. Dad's dead, Mom threw us out, n u abandoned us. Why should we stay alive?

Sylvia: :( ...For your nephew...and/or niece... please...

Bill: No, we're staying alive now coz we've got those lovely chicks to court

Phil: Yeah, we're not doing this for u

Gil: Wat's ur excuse?

Sylvia: :O ... You don't care...you're going to have a nephew and/or niece...? You... (angry) BASTARDS!!! (throws her knitting at them)

Bill: :O Woah! [with his sharp reflexes, catches the knitting] Wat the hell, Syl?!

Gil: U don't get to throw ur tantrum at us, Syl! U don't even hv the guts to tell us why u didn't contact us for the last 10 years!!

Phil: Yeah! Wat r u hiding?!

Sylvia: (angry) GRRR!!!...the fact you got abused and I wasn't around... ;( I just...!

Bill: Just wat?! U think aftr all these yrs of disappearing, u can just use ur pregnancy to try n gain our sympathy?! Ppl hv babies all the time, Syl, big deal!! Wat makes u so special?!

Phil: Just admit it!! U don't care! The reason u nvr contacted us is bcoz u dont care abt us anymore! Tht ur glad tht ur out of this family n out of our lives, glad tht ur away frm Mom n tht u got sick n tired of fighting her n covering our asses all the time!

Gil: 10 yrs, Syl! 10 yrs of waiting for u, searching for u, wondering whether if ur dead or alive! 10 yrs of believing tht u probably don't give a shit abt us! Do u knw how tht feels??

Sylvia: ;( I... I was just scared, okay?!

Trio: Scared? Scared of wat?!

Sylvia: ;( Scared that she'd still be there, scared you guys wouldn't want me back, scared that... that... (was unable to talk due to sobs)

Bill: ....Why would u be scared of Mom? U were the only person in the family who dares to fight her, to talk bk to her, why would u be scared of her?

Sylvia: ;( ...Daddy...he made me feel confident around her, but since his death... that began to waver on me...

Phil: [gets up n stomps to Sylvia, giving her a slap]

Bill&Gil: :O [wasnt expecting tht]

Sylvia: (doh) ?!

Phil: U think we dont want u bk? We've been looking for u everywhere, EVERYWHERE! For 10 YEARS!! Wat makes u think for sure we dont want u bk? Couldn't we hv been ur strength? U hv always covered for us n protected us all those yrs growing up, evn tho u were the baby in the family! Why couldn't we be ur strength? Why could we be ur confidence instead?! [breathing heavily frm all tht yelling, then...] ;(

Sylvia: ... :( Phil.... guys, I didn't...

Bill: [hesitated a little, then reached ovr to hold Sylvia tight, for the first time in yrs, smacking her head lightly] U stupid, stupid little baby sister... ;(

Gil: We were worried... So worried... U stupid little girl... ;( [joined in the hug as well]

Phil: [finally does so too] ;(

Sylvia: ;( ... (embraced them back)

[the zbornak siblings were soon in each other's arms, crying n sobbing, letting it all out]

Sylvia: ;( I'm so sorry, guys! I'm so sorry! Waaahh!!

Trio: [hugged her tighter, hushing her as they rocked her, trying to calm her down]

Sylvia: ;( (sniffled more, squeezing them back)

Bill: Don't ever do this again to us, u hear me, u silly girl? :(

Phil: Had us all worried n shit, had us thinking u died or didn't care... Dumbass baby sister... ;(

Gil: Don't ever leave us again without a word, u hear us? Took us forever to find u... Stupid baby sister... :(

Sylvia: ;( Never... never again...

Trio: Our little dumbass baby sister... [was still scolding her, bt at the same time they sounded gentle n comforting]

Sylvia: ;( ... (giggle)

Trio: [seeing her giggle n they themselves giggled as well] Heh, we're not done being mad at u, u knw

Sylvia: (giggle) I know now, we just...look at us...

Bill: Yeah, all four of us, bk together again

Phil: Just us against the world

Gil: N the next generation coming soon [gestured at Sylvia's baby bump]

Sylvia: (nod) That's right.

Bill: Sounds like someone needs to be fed

Gil: Eh, I'm pretty famished too

Phil: Maybe those chicks might be having lunch too, lets go!

Dominator: |-( U pervs...

Sylvia: (giggle)

Trio: [gave a gentle boop on Sylvia's nose before leaving to find Awesome's sisters]

Dominator: Ugh, how did u put up with those crazy goons?

Sylvia: :) Call it sisterly love.

Dominator: Well, I guess I wouldn't understand completely, since I'm a single child, bt I guess I could learn to deal with them since they're gonna be my bro-in-laws soon

Sylvia: (nod)

Dominator: U done with ur knitting? Shall we head off for lunch now?

Sylvia: Hmm...Yeah I'm done with it for now. Let's eat. :P

Dominator: :) [wraps her arm ard her shoulder n made their way to the dining hall]

Sylvia: (blush) (went with her)

Fishes In The Sea-Chp122

[a few hours later, in the med bay...]

Grimm: [stirred, groaning as he blinked his eyes, trying to focus] Nnnhh... Where am I...?

Terry: (was sitting in the corner) |-) Zzz...

Grimm: [gasped wen his eyes finally focused n sees Terry at the corner, tries to get out of bed to escape, bt tripped on the blankets n fell] (doh)

Terry: (tired) Huh, who...? Grimm? (yawn)

Grimm: [stumbled abt n hid under the covers instead, evn tho he felt stupid doing tht]

Terry: (came over, slowly lifting the sheets)

Grimm: DON'T...! [tugs the sheet away frm Terry, hiding himself more]

Terry: Grimm, I only-

Grimm: Dont look at me! Go away! I'm a freak!

Terry: :(... Is this why you acted towards me the way you have?

Grimm: [a long pause later] ...I can't... I can't be ur husband, I... I can't give u my seed to make u give me an heir... N... N I'm a freak, there is no way u could even stand looking at me, let alone hv sex with me...

Terry: :( Grimm...

Grimm: U wouldnt understand... how u spent most of ur life being a pure male, only to wake up to find out u got ur dick cut off n modified to be a half-girl to save ur life... Wat kind of life is this... I'd rather die...

Terry: ... (gave him a gentle hug)

Grimm: [flinched at his hug, bt somehow doesnt push him away, bt slowly peeked his head out of the covers]

Terry: ... :) Nothing wrong with being different from others. We're all different...

Grimm: Ur an alien frm another planet. How different can u be?

Terry: (blush) Well, course I can produce babies either from myself or for someone else...

Grimm: [blinked n turned to him] ....Whut?

Terry: I'm... (swallowed) intersex...

Grimm: [a long pause later] ...Ur shitting me, right?

Terry: (shake) Not even a little.

Grimm: Ur not just saying tht to make me feel better, are u?

Terry: I promise you, Grimm, I'm not.

Grimm: I thought... maybe bcoz ur...like me, tht's why ur parents r OK to let u be my wife, n I was worried bcoz I couldn't sire children for u... Its also the reason why I kept rejecting ppl during courting ceremonies, coz I was afraid they would think I'm a freak...

Terry: :( If they did... you don't deserve them. But do you still feel you don't deserve me...?

Grimm: I... I dont knw... I was mad at my dad for trying to matchmake me with ppl evn tho knwing my condition, bt knw tht I knw ur... different, I... I dunno... I've been so mean to u, I probably still dont deserve u

Terry: You'd rather call all this off then...? :( (part of him didn't want to)

Grimm: I...! [hesitated] ...I dunno... I mean I did, bt now... I'm not so sure I still want to...

Terry: ...We'll figure something out... :)

Grimm: [for the first time since they met, he smiled at Terry]

Terry: (blush)

Fishes In The Sea-Chp121

[the gang stayed for quite a while, getting to knw Hater's family n the like, tho the tension btwn Sylvia n her bros was still there, they were still not talking to each other, and since tht shopping day, Grimm has been actively avoiding Terry as well]

Hater: Yo, Grimm!

Grimm: [was in the family library, book on his lap, bt not reli reading]

Hater: Hello?~ .3.

Grimm: (tired) Huh? Wha..?? Geez, give me a heart attack, would u?? >:C

Hater: |-( What's with you lately? You know how annoyed Dad's been since you're full on avoiding your fiance?

Grimm: Pfft! All he cares abt is his army or whatever, he doesnt need me to help him seal the deal

Hater: You sure this isn't because of when you-

Grimm: DON'T!! [stands up abruptly n shoved him] Don't u even DARE mention tht!! If it werent for u n Loathe meddling in things u shouldn't hv, I wouldn't hv become like this!

Hater: :O

Grimm: U dont remember, do u? U don't remember how u n Loathe messed with Dr Danger's chemical stuff, how u almost spilled his stuff n I leapt in to shield u guys frm it? How it burned off one of my horns, how it turned me into a pussy boy, a freak?!

Hater: Grimm, I didn't...

Grimm: It's all u and Loathe's fault! If it weren't for u two, I... [his breath caught in his throat wen he saw Terry peeking in, hearing everything]

Terry: :O ... (backed up and turned to leave the room)

Hater: :^) Now you've done it.

Grimm: [was in such a shock, he started hyperventilating, his knees going weak as he clutched his chest]

Hater: :O Bro, bro! (grabbed him by the shoulders)

Grimm: [wheezed, his face going blue frm all the hyperventilating n soon passed out]

Hater: Grimm! (his voice faded out)
