I do not own Voltron or any of the characters. Though I wish I did.

The Paladins were just settling down after another day fighting in the war against the Galra. They had helped saved a small village who were one of the next target of the Galran Empire. After the attack, the Paladins had wandered to a "Space Mall" (named by Lance) to do a little shopping and restock their supplies. Lance had wandered off from the rest of the group to find a cosmetic store to restock his multiple face washes he had back on the castle.

Once he had found one, he was stopped by one of the employees, talking him into buying a wash he had not heard of before.

"It will keep your skin looking young and fresh! Here, take a free sample." So Lance had taken his free sample and all of the other washes he had stocked up on, and went back to find his friends. After they were all reunited, they had headed back to the castle for the night.

Once all the Paladins had retired to their rooms for the night, Lance had started to go through his night routine, pulling out the washes from the cosmetic store to place them in their respective spots. When he reached the free sample he was given, he thought back to the employee's words and shrugged.

"What the Hell, I'll try it." He rubbed it over his face and washed it off, finishing his routine for the night. As he was settling into bed, he had started to feel a tingling surround him, but shook it off thinking it was just an effect of the new cream. He then slipped into the dream world.

A few hours later:

Keith was woken up to a scream and crying coming from one of the rooms next to him. He looked over at his clock and glared at the blinking numbers that read 12:30. He started to drift off when the crying grew louder, so he got up to go see what was making the noise.

He had figured out that the noise was coming from the room closest to him: Lance's room. He opened the door to see a small lump on the bed, covered by Lance's silk pajamas. Keith walked over to the lump, tensed up and ready to fight if needed. His right hand hovered over his knife as his left reached over and lifted up the shirt.

Once the shirt was lifted, Keith was standing there in shock, staring at the small Cuban baby that was dressed in only a diaper. The small boy looked up at him with watery blue eyes that reminded him of the Blue Paladin.

If it was possible, Keith's eyes widened even more as he realized just who he was looking at on Lance's bed. He stifled a scream and ran to get Shiro, leaving the baby on the bed.

"SHIRO!" Keith shouted as he pounded on the Black Paladin's door. "IT IS AN EMERGENCY! GET UP!" Shiro came to the door, looking down at his younger brother while rubbing his eyes.

"Keith, what is wr-" Shiro did not have a chance to finish, as his brother grabbed his arm and dragged him to Lance's room. Keith led him to the bed and swept up the little baby who could not have been more than 1 year old. Lance looked up at the young man carrying him and then to the older man looking at Lance in shock.

Shiro's eyes continued to grow wider and wider. Keith started to count down. And in 3… 2… 1…

"ALURA!"

Shiro's yell woke up the entire castle and made Baby Lance start to cry and scream as well. The other Paladins and the two Alteans ran to Lance's room to see what was going on.

Once they got there, they could only stare at the crying child in Keith's arms in shock, just as Shiro had done.

Allura started to poke the child. "Lance?" she asked hesitantly. Keith rapidly nodded his head, not really knowing what to say. Allura, however, did.

"Alright everyone. I know this is a shock learning one of our own was transformed into a younger version of himself, however, we are all exhausted and have to be at full strength in case of an attack. Everyone get back to bed and we will figure out what to do with this youngster in the morning."

Everyone nodded, not really having another plan of action. As the Paladins and Alteans started to head back to bed, Allura reached out to grab Keith's arm.

"Keith, I think it would be best for Lance if he stays with you tonight. You are the one he seems the most comfortable with." Keith nodded his head, walking out towards his room, Baby Lance in his arms. Lance started to yawn quietly, signalling it was way past his bedtime.

Keith lightly bounced the baby in his arms, trying to get him to fall asleep. "You're sleepy aren't you?" he whispered softly. Lance yawned once more, rubbing his eye with a tiny fist. "You know, you're kinda cute when you're not running that mouth of yours." Keith smiled at the small baby who had laid his head down on Keith's shoulders, using his hair as a pillow. With one glance towards him, Keith knew he was out cold.

Once Keith reached his room, he had placed Lance on his stomach after he had gotten into a comfortable position. Lance had snuggled up into his chest, one tiny fist grabbing onto his shirt while the other was stuck into his mouth. Keith smiled down at him lightly once more as he felt the drowsiness take over and he slipped into a peaceful sleep.
