It had been a few months after Sly had returned, thanks to some help. Everyone was really happy to see him again, but to everyone's surprise, he returned with a beautiful ring for Carmelita!
"Carmelita." Sly said with a genuine smile, "will you make me the happiest raccoon in the world and marry me?"
"But how will this work? You're...technically still a criminal." Carmelita stated.
"Who said anyone had to know?" He chuckled. Bentley rolled his eyes (though not that anyone would notice) while Murray looked with wonder.
"Then yes. Yes, I will marry you." Carmelita replies as the two kissed.
Sometime later, Carmelita began to feel sick. It then turned out she was pregnant with twins!
"Whoa! But I'm sure I used protection..." Carmelita thought. Sly simply smiled.
"Well considering it's probably been a few weeks..." Bentley pondered. "The babies will come around November."
"Ohh I hope I can play with the babies! The Murray loves to play with babies!" Murray chuckled. Over time Sly and Carmelita got ready for the big arrival and near the times of the due date, the two of them took a little break from their jobs. Sly read up on the Cooper birth practices and gave Carmelita a belly massage, and Murray bought lots of toys. But Bentley seemed to be nervous for some reason.
"Hey, Bentley is something the matter?" Sly asked.
"Well...when I was little my so-called family always thought I'd kill my siblings. Then again they outright abandoned me so..." Bentley sighed. "And I guess I'm kind of jealous since...you know."
"C'mon Bentley, it's not your fault. I bet you'll be the best uncle ever." Sly assured him, parting his back.
Suddenly Carmelita was heard screaming in pain. The babies were coming!
Sly quickly took her to another room and helped her deliver a healthy baby boy and girl. Soon Murray and Bentley came in to see what looked like two newborn raccoons.
"Murray, Bentley. Meet the newest members of the Cooper Clan, Stephanie, and Simon."
Murray quickly picked up Stephanie and began making silly faces at her. Sly then grabbed Simon and gave him to Bentley.
"S-Sly! Wait what if I drop him!? Sly!"
Bentley panicked but Simon just looked at him and gave him a lick.
"H-huh?" Bentley wondered. Simon soon began making yapping noises.
"Hey, you're not a raccoon! You're a fox!" Bentley stated in shock.
"Well looks like I was right about one of the babies, Ringtail." Carmelita giggled.
Simon sniffed and soon he began to try to get inside Bentley's shell. His fur tickled him as he tried to squirm in.
"Hehe...please don't do that..it tickles..." Bentley stammered "Simon...hey!" when suddenly he made a cute "aah" noise. He covered his mouth in embarrassment as he didn't usually make that noise. Simon poked his head out through and grinned.
"I think Simon likes you," Sly said.
And he was right.
Later that night, Simon couldn't sleep. He began calling out and the first to come was Bentley.
"Okay okay...I'll just rock him to sleep..." he thought to himself as he picked up the tiny fox and cradled him in his arms.
Almost instantly, Simon gave a big yawn and began to close his eyes. He soon slowly drifted off to sleep, his ears listening to Bentley's heartbeat. Bentley simply smiled, though he had no idea he and Simon would be best friends. He leaned on his side, went inside his shell and let Simon sleep on him for the rest of the night.
