Chapter Text
His contractions were everywhere for the next while.
Some half an hour apart, Others 20 minutes.
Keith would grip the railing of the bed and my hand.
The machine would notify us within 5 minutes of the next one.
One had just finished and Keith laid back, exhausted and sweaty.
He rubbed his eyes and huffed.
"We haven't even thought of names yet" He said.
"Oh yeah, Shit" I said.
"I guess we'll know when we see her" He replied.
"How are you doing?" Allura asked.
"Well considering I'm in labour right now, I'm doing okay" Keith said.
Keith pov
I could feel the baby wriggling and squirming around inside of me.
My stomach was moving and it was horrifying to watch I would just look away.
Lance fell asleep with his head on my shoulder. I smiled. He's being so wonderful, He deserves to sleep.
He was still asleep when a contraction came.
I tried my hardest not to wake him up but it's a contraction...that's almost impossible to keep quiet.
I gripped the side of the bed again and dug my nails into the sheets.
"Breath" Allura said softly.
I covered my mouth as I began to choke back a blubbering sob of distress.
"Mm!" I grunted and bit my lip.
"She's coming Keith. You're doing so well" Allura cooed.
It stopped finally and I almost threw up from the sheer pain.
"Can I sleep?" I asked Allura.
"You can try. You've got 45 minutes until your next contraction" She said and tapped the machine.
I nodded and got comfy quickly and shut my eyes instantly.
I fell asleep in under 5 minutes.
I woke up to the beeping of the machine, Giving me the 5 minute countdown.
I sat up and Lance was awake now.
This one just roared up and came with no build up.
I yelled out in pain.
This one was the worst yet.
Lance held my hand and kissed my forehead. I rubbed my sore stomach with my other hand.
"Breath Keithy" Lance said and rubbed his thumb over my white knuckles.
"Fuck!" I barked and gritted my teeth.
"She's doing well, Her heartbeat is good and she's in the right position" Allura said and looked at the machine.
I nodded.
She got me some water and a cool and damp facecloth for my face.
My mother then crackled the door open and peaked inside.
"You can come in" Allura said.
The contraction stopped and I laid back once again.
"Hey" She said softly.
"Hi" I replied and outstretched my hand to her. She wrapped her fingers in mine as Lance dabbed my hot forehead with the cloth.
"How are you doing?" She asked.
"I was just screaming in pain so that must mean I'm doing just dandy!" I said sarcastically.
"Even when you're in labour you still manage to be a sarcastic little shit" She laughed.
"Just because I'm trying to have a baby doesn't mean the sarcasm will leave" I said.
"Look at your stomach. That's some fancy technology there" She observed.
"It tells me when my next contraction is and exactly how I and the baby are doing" I explained.
"That's really helpful" She said.
"How's Lander?" I asked.
"He's passed out in Shiro's arms. He asked for a belly rub and just fell right asleep" She explained.
"Yup, That sounds like him" Lance giggled.
My mother stayed with me for a while. Rubbing my sore stomach and giving me water.
"30 minutes until the next one" Coran announced.
"You can tell everyone who wants to come in that they can for a few minutes while there's some peace" Allura said.
My mother held the door open.
"You can all come see him for a bit She whispered as not to wake Lander. Everyone got up and filed into the room.
Big smiling faces greeted me and made me feel safe and happy.
Lander was asleep in Shiro's arms.
"Haha you look really fat" Matt teased and pinched my foot.
I laughed.
Pidge elbowed him.
"I'm fat and proud" I said and rubbed my stomach.
"How's the baby?" Hunk asked.
"She's doing great. Only a few more hours" Allura said excitedly.
Everyone just looked at me happily.
Lander then woke up.
"Dada!" He cried and held his arms out to Lance and I.
I looked at Allura who nodded.
Shiro came over and passed Lander to Lance.
"Hi!" I exclaimed and kissed his cheek.
"Did you have a good sleep?" I asked him. Lance held him in his arms and turned a bit so I could touch Lander.
Lander nodded.
"Miss you" He said and held a hand out for me. I took it.
"Awe" Hunk gushed.
"I missed you too baby" I said.
I put my forearm around Lander to so he was in my reach too.
"I vote the cutest family ever" Pidge exclaimed.
"Yes, Agreed" Shiro hummed.
I chuckled.
"Your sister should be here very soon" Lance assured him.
"She's still in moms tummy" He added.
"Tummy!" He cried and wriggled away from us and crawled down to Keith's exposed stomach.
"Don't touch those okay?" I warned Lander and touched the sensors.
He nodded.
He put his hands where there are none and patted it.
"Hi" Lander said to my stomach.
As if on cue the baby kicked me, Rather aggressively.
"Ah!" He yelped.
We all chuckled.
"Come back up here" Lance said.
Lander crawled like the fast little demon he is back up to us.
Lance rested him on my chest.
I kissed his hair again.
"You're going to be a big brother soon" I whispered to him.
"Seecwet?" He asked and cocked his head to the side.
I looked around.
"Yes, It's a secret. Don't tell anyone'" I said and put a finger to his little lips. He covered his hands over his mouth.
I giggled.
"Shh" Lance said, Playing along.
Lander nodded again.
He played with my hair for a bit. Tugging at it and messing it all up.
The beep went off.
"5 minutes until the next contraction" Coran announced.
I know for sure this kind of technology doesn't exist on earth.
"Mom, Take him upstairs okay?" I warned.
"I want to be here for you though" She said.
"I'll take him" Matt spoke up.
"Will you please?" I asked him desperately.
"Oh for sure!" He exclaimed.
"Can you put him to bed though please? you can stay in our room in the meantime" Lance said.
Matt nodded.
I kissed Lander a bunch more and so did Lance.
"We'll see you in a while okay?" I said to him.
Matt picked him up.
He had his hands over his mouth signalling me that he won't tell that about him being a big brother.
I waved to him as everyone left.
"You got this man" Pidge said and gave me a thumbs up.
"This won't be pretty. Everyone leave but Krolia" Allura said.
Everyone obeyed and left.
This contraction was a slow burn.
Lance held my hand while my mother stood and held the other.
"Oh my god!" I yelled and squeezed my eyes shut.
I just groaned a lot through this one. It passed and I'm getting so sick of this.
My mother then sat in a chair on the wall next to Lance.
Lance pov
2 more contractions came and these were both only 10 minutes apart.
"This one isn't going away!" Keith yelled after a solid 2 minutes.
Allura looked frantically at Coran.
"Lance get up!" Krolia cried. I quickly scrambled out of the bed and stood next to it.
Galra births are different from humans remember?
"Get the blankets off him" Allura ordered.
Coran had changed long ago from his pj's.
They were both now wearing thin throw away scrubs.
They're much more prepared this time around.
I pulled the blankets off Keith.
That's when Keith began to scream.
"She's coming!" Allura yelled.
Coran made Keith spread his legs and had them bent.
Keith grasped my hand and Krolia came beside me and gripped the edge of the bed nervously.
Coran took the removable footboard of the bed off.
"You're doing great Keith!" Allura encouraged him.
Keith began to sob hysterically.
His face so full of pain and torment.
His skin was pink and blotchy. Tears racing down his puffy cheeks.
"It hurts!" Keith yelled.
"I know it does Keith, Keep going" Krolia said.
Allura took the sensors off Keith's stomach and folded the flap back over the big round bulge. She patted it securely.
Krolia moved to the other side of the bed and Keith gripped her hand too.
The crying continued until Coran looked under Keith's gown again.
"You have to start pushing Keith!" Allura exclaimed.
"N-No! I can't!" He wailed.
"Keith baby you have too, She's almost here" Krolia said.
"She's a really big baby, You really have to push hard, With all your might Keith!" Allura cried.
"He might tear" Coran then said.
"Oh I better fucking not!" Keith shouted angrily.
"She's huge Keith" Allura warned him.
Keith began to hyperventilate.
"Push Keith!" Allura yelled and put her hands under his knees to keep them from buckling.
Keith grunted between breaths and sobs.
He threw his head back in agony and screamed bloody murder.
"Keith you have to go harder then that, Push!" Allura demanded.
"You're doing well" Krolia said.
Keith was becoming so weak he kept falling back.
I quickly got into the bed and sat behind him like we do and he sat in between my legs. He rested his full 180 pound self on my and I put one hand on his horribly enlarged and bloated stomach and rubbed it as I held his other hand. All from behind.
"Push Keith!" Coran barked.
"Ah!" Keith screamed.
"Her head is almost out, Keep going!" Allura cheered.
The screaming and sobbing continued.
"Stop clenching up, You need to push her out!" Allura said.
"I can't!" Keith screamed.
"We're going to push on counts of 3 okay?" I ordered him.
Keith inhaled.
"Good! Take a big breath in and push and exhale on 3 okay?" My voice wavering with stress.
Keith let go of Krolia's hand.
Both of my hands flew to his stomach. He put his smaller shaky ones on top of mine.
"Alright Keith, Count of 3" I recited.
"No I can't!" Keith sobbed.
"I'm so scared!" He cried.
I rubbed the sides of his stomach.
"Yes you can, I believe in you" I encouraged and kissed his hair.
"One...two...three" I counted.
Keith exhaled and pushed.
"Good Keith! Come on you're almost there. You're doing so well baby" I exclaimed.
"That's working, Keep going!" Allura said.
"Alright let's go again" I said.
Keith wailed but took a big breath in.
"One...two...three"
He exhaled and pushed again.
"You're so close Keith!" Allura shouted.
I moved his damp hair and kissed the side of his neck. I planted kisses all over the skin I could acess.
I put my hands back on his belly and rubbed in big circles.
Keith inhaled.
"One...two...three"
He exhaled and screamed again.
"Come on!!" Krolia said.
He inhaled.
"One...two...three"
He exhaled and screamed.
"One more push! Just one more come on!" Allura shouted.
"Last one then it's all over" Krolia said.
"Last one Keith!" I exclaimed. He grasped both of my hands.
Keith pov
One last push...
Lance pov
Keith inhaled one last time and gritted his Keith and growled.
"One...
Two...
Three!" I screamed.
Keith screamed too, At the top of his goddamn lungs and gave one last heaving push.
I saw the baby come out from between his legs.
Keith's body went limp and he collapsed backwards onto me.
I pulled him back and rested him on the pillows.
His eyes shut and face softened. I saw the bustle of the other 3 in my preifereal vision as they cleaned the baby up.
She is being taken care of.
I grabbed the face cloth and wiped his face down gently.
Keith was breathing softly now.
"You did it Keith, She's here" I cooed and tucked some hair behind his ear.
Everything but him was blurry. This happened with Lander too.
The tiniest little smile crept onto his lips.
"I'm so proud of you baby" I said. Tears of happiness now falling down my cheeks.
I saw Coran cut her umbilical cord in the background.
Keith's eyes opened again. He was weak but still here.
I sat him between my legs again and rubbed his tummy even though the baby is here now. I just know that it's sore.
"Where is she?" Keith murmured.
"She's with Allura and Coran" I said. Keith reached his hand in front of him.
"My baby" He said softly.
Keith pov
Everything was blurry. All I wanted was to have my long awaited daughter in my arms.
Lance's tan arms were around my belly.
"She's all cleaned up" I heard Allura say.
"Get the onesie you brought"
"The pink one?"
"Yes"
My vision faded in and out and everything was back in focus.
I saw Allura holding a bundle.
She smiled and came over to Lance and I.
"Congratulations once again" She beamed and passed me our baby.
She was already dressed in the pink kitty onesie and wrapped in a lavender colour blanket.
Lance looked over my shoulder.
"Keith, She's so beautiful" My mother smiled, Tears in her eyes.
I looked down.
A round little face starred up me.
She's stunning.
Her skin isn't as pale as Lander's and mine but isn't darker like Lance's. It's in the middle, A soft warm peach. She has thick black hair just like her brothers, This paired with Lance's freckles and big chubby cheeks.
But the most captivating and stunning thing about her is her eyes. They're big and brought but they're different colours.
The left one is my bright Violet and the right is Lance's sky blue.
"Lance look at her eyes!" I squeaked.
"Oh my god!" He exclaimed happily
"She's bi-eyed!" Lance exclaimed.
"What?!" The three others said in unison.
"Her eyes!" I sputtered.
They all came and looked.
"Well I'll be..." Coran said.
"I didn't even notice that!" My mother said.
"She's stunning. I'm so happy for both of you" Allura said.
We all just starred at the downright gorgeous baby girl in my arms.
I have never seen a baby as stunning as her.
She already has long eyelashes.
She has my fat cheeks and Lance's nose and lips.
She's heavy though holy.
"How heavy is she?" I asked
"11 bloody pounds!" Coran exclaimed.
"Excuse me?" Lance choked out.
"She's sure a chubby one" My mother grinned.
"Just like you and Lander" Lance gushed and hugged me.
"I knew she was big. She made my first pregnancy look small" I said.
"You were gigantic!" Lance exclaimed.
"I know" I mumbled.
He then grumbled.
"Your looks dominate once again!" He huffed angrily.
"Can it!" I hissed and nudged him.
I just continued to stare at her.
"Welcome to the world my sweet, sweet girl" I said and gave her a forehead kiss.
"Think of a name" My mom said.
"Hush Krolia, He will" Allura said.
"Bring Lander down here" I said to my mom.
She nodded.
Within the next few minutes Lander was sitting on my lap looking at his new sister.
Lander reached out and gently touched her face.
"Meet your sister. You're a big brother now!" Lance sang.
Lander clapped.
"No tummy?" He then asked.
"Nope. Mom's big tummy is gone" Lance said.
Lander pouted.
I laughed and ruffled his hair.
He scooted around and snuggled in between Lance and I.
He wanted to look at his new sister again.
I brought my precious bundle to my lap so Lander could peak.
"What should her name be?" Lance asked.
I continued to look at her.
My mind raced with ideas.
Space terms, Flowers, Crystals. celebrities.
I looked into her eyes and it hit me.
"Nova" I said softly.
"What?" Lance asked.
"Nova" I said again, Louder this time.
Her eyes remind me of a supernova, The 2 different colours.
"Like a pretty supernova" I said.
"Wait...That's actually perfect" Lance said.
"Nova" He said aloud to himself.
"Nothing suits her more" He said.
"What did you pick?" Allura asked.
"Nova" I smiled.
"Nova...That's really pretty" She hummed.
"I love it" My mother chirped.
I looked down at both of my children.
At that very moment I had never been more happy.
Tears of absolute joy welled up in my eyes.
Everything is perfect.
My loving boyfriend and father of my children is cuddled up me me from behind. Giving my sore and tender belly a rub.
My first born 12 month old son is looking at his newborn sister with pure curiosity.
My brand new infant daughter only a few minutes old is in a comfy little cocoon in my arms.
This is where I'm supposed to be.
I began to cry more.
"Lance?" I croaked.
"Yes?" He said.
"Thank you so much. For being with me through all of this, With Lander and onwards. For dealing with me and my very gay prissy ass. You mean the world to me. And...I'm actually happy you've gotten me knocked up twice. I wouldn't be here if this all didn't happen. It's been such a crazy rollercoaster but I've never been more happy than I am now. I love you Lance" I smiled and kissed him.
"And thank you Keith, For going through 2 very tough pregnancies that I unintentionally caused. I would say that I'm sorry for being an idiot but right now; I'm not sorry. We have our own two children right here. Two babies that grew big and strong in your body, Two babies that made you very chubby but overall matured us both. Yes, We're too young to be having kids but I really don't regret anything. You are the light of my life, The reason I wake up every morning. I rise just see your smiling face. I'm so, so happy that I fell in love with you all those years ago" Lance exclaimed and sniffled a bit.
"You're so sweet" I giggled.
Lance gently wrapped his arms fully around my belly and kissed my neck.
"I'm going to cry" My mother sniffed.
I chuckled.
"I love you" I said and kissed our new baby's cheek. She giggled softly.
"And I love you too little mr" I said and gave Lander's chubby tummy a little tickle with one hand.
He squealed happily.
"No more kids...For a while at least" I admitted.
"For a while? Are you suggesting we have more kids?!" Lance squeaked.
"I'm not saying no" I hummed cheekily.
"I want twins!" He exclaimed and rubbed my vacant belly.
"Uh I do not want twins. This is a conversation to have much later in the future, Not now. Let's appreciate the two absolutely amazing babies we have here" I said.
"Okay, Agreed" Lance snickered.
"We make cute kids huh?" He asked.
"Mhm!" I agreed.
"Hi baby Nova" Lance said and took the heavy bundle from me.
"You've got the best family in the whole universe right here. Two amazing dads. You are long awaited. You caused your dad some trouble and you were very stubborn and just didn't want to come out of that darn belly of his. But you were so worth it.
We were just waiting for you to get here" Lance gushed.
"I get a brand new baby just in time for my birthday two years in a row!" Lance beamed.
I laughed.
"What are you most excited for?" My mother asked us both.
"I'm excited for Lander to start walking" I chirped.
"I'm excited for Keith to get chubby again so he's nice and squishy for cuddling...And so he's healthy and produces enough milk for the baby" Lance giggled.
I elbowed his gut.
"Why don't you be the one to gain some weight huh? I can fatten you up just right" I snarled right to Lance's face. I poked at his pudgy budding tummy.
Lance cackled.
"Be serious!" I groaned.
"I'm excited for Lander to talk properly!" He said innocently.
"Oh of course you are" I huffed.
"Come on Keithy, Don't you want to teach him to cuss?" Lance asked.
"Oh god yeah, Of course I do!" I replied.
"There!" He smirked.
"Can I hold her please?" My mother asked.
"Yes! Sorry, We're fighting" I said.
I carefully passed my baby to my mother.
"She's so heavy!" She exclaimed.
"I know, Believe me when I say that. She was in my stomach for 9 months" I grunted.
"Is she healthy? I didn't even ask that!" I exclaimed and sat up too quickly. A sharp pain greeted my side.
I flopped back down.
"Oh yes she's perfectly fine! If anything she's just a teensy bit overweight but she'll grow into that" Allura exclaimed.
"That's cute though" I gushed.
Lander got mad that I want paying attention to him and crawled up my shirt and put pressure on my breasts which hurt.
"Ow! Okay, Okay hi Lander" I grunted and tore him away from me.
He beamed as soon as I began talking to him.
"I hope you know that you won't be forgotten now that there's a new baby. You'll get just as much attention" I explained.
"H-How baby get-get in tummy?" Lander asked.
I looked at Lance wide eyed.
"Well, When two people love each other a whole lot, One of them develops a special kind of magic that can put a baby inside of the other parents belly. The baby grows in there for a while then comes out! That's what happened" Lance explained slowly.
"Magic" I scoffed.
Lance jabbed my side wth a thin finger.
"Ow! I'm in so much pain, Don't poke me there" I snapped.
My mother then gave the baby to Lance.
"Hi" Lance said softly and smiled fondly at our new baby daughter.
He gave her a finger so she could hold onto it.
She held his finger gently.
It's crazy how she has a full head of hair just like Lander did. Hers is the same length his way when I gave birth to him.
Her freckles are closer together than Lander's are.
Lance pov
Nova suits her very well.
She's such a beautiful baby. Lander was just as beautiful.
I make good babies.
She opened her tiny little mouth happily and held my finger.
She's quite heavy for a baby. But that's fine, I've got 2 chubby boys already.
I'm honestly very thankful I set up a second crib recently.
We were more than ready.
Well...Ready until Keith's water broke in the middle of the night. All the preparation just went out the window.
The baby's crib is on the same wall as Lander's and about 3 feet away from his.
She has lots of blankets ready.
We switched the space mobile from Lander's crib to hers.
He's not interested in it too much anymore.
I never pictured my life would end up here of all places.
Having two kids at 19 years old.
I've been over this but it's still weird to think about.
I'm ready to drop everything to take care of my beautiful babies and my boyfriend. I'll drop it all to be the best father I can be.
"You did good Keith" I said and patted his big thigh.
He hugged my bicep.
"Oh Keith, How do you think your milk production is?" Allura asked.
"My rack is huge so I'm sure I'm fine" He replied.
"They're not huge, I can barely see them through the gown" Allura chuckled.
"They're heavy and are really tender" Keith said.
"You should be good then" Allura replied.
"Can I get my clothes back on? I'm quite cold" Keith asked.
"Yes Yes. I'm just gonna clean you up a bit then you can change" She said.
"I'll be helping you of course" Krolia said to him.
Allura got a damp cloth and just...cleaned Keith up down there.
"We should change the sheets" Coran said.
"Mm yeah" I agreed.
Allura picked up Lander.
I carefully got up, Nova in my arms.
Krolia helped a horribly fragile and sore Keith up and she had to sit him right back down in a chair as he can't stand up alone.
Coran quickly tossed the sheets into a basket in the corner. He switched the pillow cases too. He fluffed the pillows up and put new clean sheets on the bed.
Krolia got Keith's shirt and pj pants from where they had been sitting.
"Everyone look away, No one wants to a post-pregnancy body" Keith ordered. Keith leaned up against the counter and Krolia looked up at the ceiling as she helped Keith take his gown off while not even looking. Skill.
Keith pulled his shirt and pj pants on fairly quickly.
"Okay" He huffed.
"Ha! I fit the shirt now!" Keith exclaimed.
Coran put the thin almost sheet thin blanket on the bed and then our fuzzy one.
"I have to pee so bad" Keith then squeaked.
He leaned on a wall and sluggishly dragged himself into the bathroom.
He did his business quickly and washed his hands did a solid minute I swear to god.
"Are your hands clean enough?" I chuckled when he came back out.
Keith looks significantly smaller now.
His previously skin tight shirt that hugged his big belly is now baggy.
Krolia with her hand on Keith's waist walked him back to the bed.
Keith crawled onto the bed but held his stomach and wailed.
"Why am I cramping?" He whined.
"It's probably just your guts moving back and your belly shrinking" I said.
Keith got into bed finally.
Coran extended the bed so it was wider.
I hopped back in carefully with the baby in my arms.
Allura plopped Lander down in Keith's lap.
"Krolia, Could you go get a few more diapers?" Allura asked her.
"Yes!" She replied and scurried out of the room.
There was only 1 diaper and that's the one Nova is now wearing.
Lander snuggled up to Keith's now much smaller belly. Keith sank down a bit so Lander could lay on his tummy.
"Be careful with moms belly" I warned him.
He nodded sleepily.
Krolia came back with an armful of clean diapers for both babies.
"Can you change Lander please mum?" Keith asked.
She nodded and picked up Lander who whined in distress.
"Dada!" We wailed.
"It's okay honey" Keith assured him.
Krolia brought him over to the chair she was sitting and wiped Lander down and changed his diaper. She put his shark onesie back on.
She gave Lander back to Keith.
They resumed their position.
Lander soon after crawled over to me.
I gave Nova carefully back to her dad.
She was getting sleepy.
She yawned then nuzzled her face to Keith's chest.
"Let her nurse honey" Krolia said.
Keith pulled his shirt down slowly
and Nova gently latched her tiny mouth to his breast like a magnet.
She nursed for a while.
Everyone looked fondly at the peaceful scene in front of them.
I put my arm around Keith carefully and put my head on his shoulder.
When Nova was done she hiccuped and that almost brought happy tears to mine and Keith's eyes.
"You should rest" Krolia said to Keith.
"I think all of us need rest" Allura chuckled.
I took Nova for a moment.
Coran and her had both changed out of their they'd away scrubs.
"You have the cube right here. You press it if you need anything at all and I will be right down" Allura said and put the button cube next to the bed on the monitor machine.
She flicked it back on and got a different wire that attached to a leather wristband.
She told Keith to hold his arm out.
So he did.
"This will help monitor your overall health. You're a new mom once again, We have to keep you healthy" Allura explained and Velcro'd the strap snugly to his wrist.
"It monitors your pulse and everything"
She then grabbed only on sensor from earlier but it was on a different wire.
"Life your shirt up" She said.
Keith hesitantly did so.
"This will help to make sure your internal organs and all are moulding back into their original spot. This was a big baby, Your organs will be a little bit squished for a while. They're all pushed back for now from carrying the baby. Your womb will shrink back too but this may take longer than before. Once all your organs are back where they should be Your belly will plump and swell up and out again as they go back to normal" The princes explained.
"What?? So I won't stay this skinny??" Keith whined.
Allura pursed he lips and nodded.
Keith sighed.
This new machine is great.
She put the sensor on Keith's tummy and pulled his shirt down.
"Nova gets a sensor too. These two are connected so both mama and baby can be monitored together"
Allura gave Keith the sensor.
I so, so carefully took it from him and stuck it to the baby's tiny wrist.
Allura was then about to leave when Keith leaned over and grabbed her wrist.
He called Coran back too.
"I again will never be able to thank you both for what you've done for me, For me and my children. I don't know what else I can say. I can't thank you two enough. I don't think me or the babies would be here today if it wasn't for you both. Thank you both so much, I appreciate every little thing" Keith said and got a little teary eyed.
"Oh Keith" Allura said and hugged his head to her ribs.
"You're such good friends to me" He said.
"We're not just your friends Keith, We're all a big family" Coran smiled and stroked his moustache.
"I'm happy we could help you. I will do anything for you and your perfect little family. I'd do anything to help everyone here in the castle" Allura said.
"And you're welcome" She added and let go of him.
Coran gave him a fist bump.
"No more babies for a while huh you two?" Allura laughed.
"We'll try" I chuckled.
Coran patted Keith's head.
"Goodnight all 5 of you" Coran said and headed out the door.
"Thank you again Allura" Keith said.
"It's my pleasure Keith" She said and kissed the top of his head in a motherly way.
"Good night Lander" Allura said in a baby voice and pinched his cheek.
He giggled.
"Good night little angel" She said to Nova and stroked her cheek so delicately.
"And goodnight Krolia and the two proud parents" She finished and waved to us all.
"Thank you Princess" Krolia said.
Allura smiled and left the room.
"Thank you mom" Keith spoke up.
"I try my best" She beamed.
"Thanks for helping me care for little mr stink over here and telling me what clothes to wear so I didn't look in your opinion stupid in tight non-maternal clothing"
"Hey, I wanted you to wear things that flattered your baby bump and made you look nice. What you wore was a lot of tight shirts that made your belly look 5 times larger than the big thing already was" Krolia replied.
Keith chuckled.
"No more kids okay? I'm already a grandma at a measly 40 years old" She said.
"And Lance, Keep that thing to yourself. Stop getting my son pregnant!" She scolded me.
"Yes, No more kids for a while at least" Keith agreed.
"The oven is empty for now" I said and patted Keith's belly.
"Keep "the oven" empty! Raising and caring for 2 babies is going to be hell and I hope you two realize that" She added.
"Yes, Thank you mom" Keith said with a fake annoyed tone.
"You just popped a big baby out. You need rest. All of us do" She said and kissed everyone's foreheads.
First mine, Then Keith, Then Lander and finally Nova.
"I'll get everyone outside to bed too" She said then waved goodbye and goodnight and carefully turned off the lights closed the door.
The little blue lights illuminated the room.
Keith snuggled under the blankets. He held Nova and I let Lander sleep under the covers on my belly.
The blankets came up to his shoulders and about my ribs.
Lander was out like a light.
Nova was drifting off when I leaned over and kissed Keith.
He was sitting up a bit so he could still hold Nova safely.
"Goodnight Keith, I'm so, so proud of you. We finally have our second baby" I grinned and carefully rubbed his now empty tummy.
"Thank you" Keith whispered and kissed my cheek.
The 4 of us in our cozy little bed all fell asleep together.
