Chapter One: A New Member Of The Family
Blitz was up in his room, waiting for Samantha to come out of the shower. Professor Hubert had examined her earlier, to check on the progress of Sam's pregnancy. She was due any day now, and their child was going to be a girl. Blitz and Sam had decided to name her Karina, and they'd both been talking to Hunter and Colleen about how to take care of children, since the two of them had done a splendid job with their twins, Cassie and Alexander. Blitz heard the water stop running, and he then heard Sam start humming the melody of 'Blue Skies', by Stephanie Cooke', one of her favorite songs. When she came out of the bathroom, he hugged her gently, and said, "I can't believe this, Sam...I'm actually going to be a father! I never thought this day would happen. I mean, I used to be so immature, rash, and jealous of Hunter, since he had Colleen's love, but now that you and I are together, Hunter and I have totally mended our relationship. I swear, Sam...if anyone tries to hurt you, our daughter, or anyone else, I'll bite them so hard, their whole family will feel it." Sam laughed, and said, "Blitz, you're absolutely wonderful, you know that? The way you stood up for Hunter when we went after Parvo last time, and the way you saved him from that grenade, when we went to save Colleen from Mordred, you've definitely come a long way. I love you." Blitz kissed her, then said, "I love you too, Sam, and I always will." There was a knock on the door, and Samantha answered, "Come in." Hunter and Colleen walked in, with the twins in tow. Cassie asked, "Auntie Sam, how's the baby coming along?" Chuckling, Sam knelt down to look Cassie in the eyes, and said, "She's coming along fine, and Professor Hubert said I'm due any day now." Hunter said, "Sam, if you need to, I can have Kasha fill in for you, until you recover." Samantha replied, "Hunter, I'll be fine, but thanks for asking. The new armor's a lot more flexible than the old suits, so I think I'll be able to handle it." Blitz said, "I just don't want you or Karina to get hurt, Sam. I'd die inside if I lost you, or her." She kissed him, and said, "Blitz, I can take care of myself, honest. I will try and take it easy, though. Professor Hubert's got me on a pill that keeps me from getting sick to my stomach, which is a godsend...I'll never forget the three nights that I spent running to and from the bathrooms...not to mention those awful mood swings, which the pill also helps with." Blitz shuddered at the memory...Sam had been hysterical until she'd been put on the pill. Hunter remembered it quite well with Colleen as well...he'd gotten off easy, as she hadn't done more than yell at him. She'd feel horrible afterwards, but he'd been able to help her through it, and now, they had their lovely twins, and Alexander and Cassie were a true joy. Blitz said, "Hunter, I'd like to ask a favor of you, if you don't mind." Hunter said, "Sure, anything. What can I do for you, Blitz?" Blitz crossed the room, and said, "Hunter, would you and Colleen like to be the godparents of Karina, after Sam gives birth? It'd mean so much to both of us." Hunter smiled broadly, and replied, "I'd be honored. How 'bout you, Colleen?" Colleen answered, "Blitz, Sam...I'd be honored to be the godmother of little Karina...this is so wonderful...our little family's growing so quickly." Hunter hugged his wife, and then Exile came in, along with Kasha. Exile said, "Comrade Blitz...I hear you and Sam are expecting? Congratulations, Comrade!!!" He pulled Blitz into a hug, but remembered not to crush him this time. Meanwhile, Kasha gently pulled Sam into a hug. She said, "Comrade...I am so pleased for you and Blitz...you are going to have wonderful family, just like Comrades Hunter and Colleen!" Sam replied, "Thanks, Kasha. Hunter, Colleen...I'd like to thank you both for agreeing to be Karina's godparents. You're the best friends anyone could ask for." Colleen pulled Hunter and her twins close, and said, "Sam, you'll always be family to us, all of you. Now...how about we go see what's for dinner?"
The Rovers all headed down to the kitchen, where Shag was making roast beef, noodles with gravy, carrots, and buttermilk biscuits. Hunter had taught him to cook without toilet water, so he now was actually able to make a meal that everyone could stomach. As they sat down, they happily chatted amongst themselves on what they'd done that day, and after they'd finished dinner, they cleaned up, then went about their usual evening business. Hunter and Colleen took the twins out for an evening stroll on the beach, Exile and Kasha went out to gaze at the stars, and Blitz and Sam decided to head to bed, since Samantha was rather tired. Shag swept the floor of the kitchen, then went to bed. They had no idea, however, that a new evil would soon rear its ugly head.
Next Chapter: A new weapon system is being developed over in Germany, at a base known as Sachsen-Anhalt. The weapon is a first-generation prototype bipedal land warrior robot called an AWGS, or Armored Walking Gun System. On the night before the unit's scheduled performance test, however, a renegade force of Neo-Nazi terrorists, the Iron Wolves, attack the base, and steal the machine, intending to make their own, and use them to bring about a new Nazi-like regime, with their leader, Heydrich Sturmgeist, as the new ruler of the world. Can the Road Rovers put a stop to his plans?
