Voltron New Beginnings
Chapter 10
By: Cindra
{A few days later}
Keith waited until was leaving Cassie's room to have a long , what the hell were you thinking ,chat with him. "You caused one hell of a mess, my friend."
*Here we go! I knew that he was being way to calm about all of this*
Lance turned to glare at his friend. "Look I did not make your sister drive me into Farla's arms! She did that all by herself!""Do you realize that our four worst nightmare's are probably going to join forces to try and defeat us! Why is this happening!!? Because, ran from my sister like a coward! She then gets captured and drugged by Rand! Who I'd bet my lion took full advantage of that situation!! Do I have to go on!!!?" Keith and Lance had stepped outside into the Castle gardens. " All hell may come down on this planet, because you were jealous of my nine month old baby girls!!!!" Keith had grabbed Lance by the lapels of his jacket and was lifting him off the ground.
*This is not good!*
"Don't do this Keith!" Lance snarled as he shoved Keith in the chest.* You ask for this my friend!*
Keith dropped Lance on his butt. "Someone has got to teach you a lesson." he snarled down at him."Lay off Keith!! This is not the time to get into this!!" Lance vaulted back up to his feet.
"This is the perfect time to beat some sense into you!!" Keith snarled punching Lance in the Solar plexus.
"I'm warning you Keith!! You had better back off!" he snarled through teeth gritted in pain as Keith's fist connected with his chest.
"Or you will do what?! Beat me up?!! Not even on your best day!" he taunted Lance as he gave him a right to the jaw, sending Lance sprawling backwards onto the grass.
"That does it Keith!!! You asked for it!!" he got back up and ran at Keith full force, only to end up being thrown over Keith's shoulder and landed face first back onto the grass.
"Do you have any clue as to how much Cassie has been suffering because of you?! You broke her heart when you walked out!" Keith reached down and yanked Lance up to his feet.
"Yes Keith I know that I am the reason that all hell may break loose on this planet!! I'm the one who went mental, because I was jealous of your babies!! So, if you want to beat me up until I am black and blue, go ahead I deserve it!" he punched Keith in the jaw, but felt terror run down his spine when Keith didn't even flinch from the blow.
"I don't care if you were jealous, Lance! You actions hurt my sister and now our three worst enemies have joined forces and could very well be planning our first and only defeat!!" Keith was through beating up lance so he stalked back towards the castle.
"Bad move buddy." Lance growled and ran at Keith from behind, only to be knocked out cold by Keith's backward punch.
"Never try and sneak up on Me." he lectured his unconscious friend as he carried him back into the castle.
"Hey! What happened to Lance?!" Hunk asked as Keith walked by the Sunroom.
"We had a difference of opinion." he didn't even bother to look back as he continued towards Lance's quarters.
"I guess we know who won." Hunk muttered
"Some things just never change." Sheena shook her head in disbelief.
~~~
"What on Arus did you do to Lance!?" Allura stopped Keith in front of Lance's door.
"We just had a difference of opinion." Keith gave her his winning smile before entering Lance's quarters.
"Get back here Keith!" Allura stalked after him.
Keith was far from done with torturing his friend. "Here ya go buddy, this should jar you back to your senses." he set lance down in the shower stall and then set the water to ice cold.
"AHHHHHHH!!!" Lance bellowed in outrage as the cold water pelted his skin.
"The only one in this room who need to be brought back to his senses is you!" Allura pushed Keith into the shower stall with Lance.
"Allura!!!!" Keith bellowed in outrage as he was doused with icy cold water.
"Now I want the two of you to stop this nonsense and behave!" She ordered them both before she stalked out of the room.
"Well she sure did tell us didn't she." Lance groaned.
"Yeah, that's my little spit fire!" Keith growled and then they both took one look at each other and roared with laughter.
~~~
Meanwhile, back on Rand's base, three of the most ruthless forces in the universe are planning the fall of planet Arus.
"All we have to do is split all of them up. That way they won't be able to form Voltron." Rand suggested to the two men who merely glared silently at his plan.
"I say we blow Arus to bits!" Lotor growled only to have them turn their glares towards him.
"Listen you idiots! we have to work together in order to defeat our enemy!" Deven growled. Rand and Lotor looked at him as if he were insane.
"And just how do you purpose that we do that!?" Rand snarled. "Wimp there couldn't win a battle if it was handed to him on a silver platter!!!" Lotor's response was to try and punch Rand out, only Rand easily blocked him move for move.
"You didn't do so well the last two times that you battled against Keith!" Lotor gave up on trying to hit Rand so instead he took his frustration out on the table in front of him.
"Well!! What do you expect to happen when his wife calls him back home because she went into labor!!!!" Lotor had Rand by the neck.
"What do you mean Allura went into labor!!?" Lotor roared furiously not believing what he had just heard.
"You can't be serious Lotor! This was over nine months ago!!!" Rand groaned in disbelief as Lotor continued to throttle him.
"SHE AND KEITH HAVE AN HEIR!!!? SHE HAD HIS BABY?!!!?" He roared furiously.
"No Lotor, they have three heirs!" Rand taunted him before slamming Lotor in the face with the heel of his hand.
"SHE GAVE HIM THREE SONS!!! I WILL KILL HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!"
Deven was highly amused with Lotor's reaction. " No you idiot she and Keith have three nine month old daughters!" he informed Lotor who was now smiling evilly.
"Lotor you can't seriously be that far out of the loop! Why the hell are you smiling anyway!?" Rand snarled.
"If you both will excuse me I have a message that I have to send to my wife." Lotor walked calmly from the room.
"He has a wife?!" Rand and Deven exclaimed in shock.
~~~
{A few days later on Arus}
"Sheena? Why won't you teach me the art of being a ninja?!" Lance all but begged as Sheena rolled her eyes at him.
"Because, I already have three students that I am teaching already. I am sorry Lance. Why don't you ask Keith to train you." she suggested
"Don't even mention that idea to me! I am the last one that he would ever think of training!" Lance turned to leave the gym.
"You are wrong lance, all that you have to do is swallow your pride for once, ask him nicely and he'll be glad to train you."
"Like hell he would!" Lance grumbled and stalked off to find Cassie.
"You have to learn how to master your temper before you can even think of training to be a ninja." Sheena went searching for Hunk.
"Red? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Keith stopped her in the hallway he had Ariel in his arms.
"Sure Keith, What's up?" she smile and took Ariel from him.
"Eena!" she squealed and began to much on a lock of Sheena's fiery red hair.
"Did Lance ask you to train him?"
"Yes as a matter of fact he did. Why do you want to know? " She frowned at him.
"So, the hot head wants to become a ninja does he." Keith grinned at Sheena, who had put Ariel up on his shoulders." Thanks Red, come on kiss your daddy has some plotting to do.
"Da!!" she squealed and grabbed onto a fistful of his hair.
"Ouch! Ariel! I'll be bald by the age of 25! If you and your sister don't stop plucking out my hair!" he winced as they went down the hallway.
~~~
{On Queen Merla's ship}
"Queen Merla your husband has sent you a message."
"Thank you Miri, you may go now." she ordered the woman away.
"Yes mistress." she bowed and then left the room.
*So my wayward husband, what do you want now?*
she frowned as she read the message. "Miri! Get in here!" she shouted."Yes mistress?"
"When and where was he when he sent me this?" she tried to remain calm. * He couldn't know her secret!*
"I was on my way to see you my enchanting wife." he smiled down at her after dismissing Miri with a look.
::Since when is it so urgent that you have to have an heir?::
she asked curiously from where she was lounging in a sunken tub filled with bubbles."Ah, my lovely wife, don't you want an heir to carry on our legacy?" he growled softly down at her and began to strip off his clothes.
"So let me get this straight." she hissed as she watched him undress. "You want an heir, so that you can keep up with Keith and Allura's new additions Ariel, Alexandra, and Andromeda."
"Darling I simply want to make sure that we have a son, who can someday claim his ultimate prize. The next ruler of Arus." he schemed as he planted kisses down her back.
"Now wait just a minute! Don't I even get a say in this?!" she moaned as he continued explore her body with his mouth.
"No." he growled and then that was the end of that conversation for a while.
~~~
"You wanted to see me your majesty?" Lance snarled at Keith the moment he entered Keith's royal chambers.
"Yes Lance, I think that you and I need to have another chat." he smiled as he looked up at Lance.
"No thanks! I am still recovering from our last talk! He went to leave the room.
"Lance, did you learn anything from our little battle of the brawn's?" he asked seriously.
"Never let my guard down when you are in one of those moods." Lance groaned as he sat down in a chair.
"No Lance, you learned that you have to pay for your mistakes." he growled softly ignoring the glare that Lance was giving him.
"Why you son of a bitch!! You beat the crap out of me! So that I could pay for my mistakes!!!" he roared at Keith in fury only to end up in a head lock.
"Now you are going to listen to me smart ass! You will get up at 3am every morning and begin your training, after four hours of that you will then go to Red Lion and practice drills, after that you will go to your future wife and spend lots of quality time with her. Then you will rest and start it all over again the next day." he finally let Lance go.
"Is there anything else your highness?" Lance snarled.
"Yes you can go to the nursery and spend some quality time with your future nieces." he smiled when Lance groaned.
"Yes master." he got up and went to leave the room.
"See you at 3am Lance."
Lance waited until he was out of ear shot to shot out his," Yes!!" as he ran down the hallway.
"Give me five kiddo." Keith grinned as he pulled Andy out from under his desk.
"Dada!" Andy babbled and kissed his cheek.
"Now it's time for your sister to make the plan complete." he was enjoying tormenting Lance.
~~~
"Lotor one of these days you are not going to get your way." she sighed as she snuggled closer to him.
"Never my dear, after all I always get me way in the end." he growled and then proceeded to work on the heir some more.
~~~
"Okay you little munchkin, who wants to play with me first?" Lance asked the babies in the nursery, only to find one baby in her crib.
"Well now angel, who left you all alone?" lance frowned as he picked up the little girl.
"Dada…Mama." she babbled up at him.
"Oooo!!" she squealed as she grabbed hold of the shiny blue material of his new jacket.
"You like my new jacket?" he laughed as she started to munch on his jacket." You like blue do you. Well that's another this that you share with your momma." he cuddled Alex in his arms.
"Oh!" she exclaimed and her eyes grew as wide as saucers, not long after that a smell filled the small space between them.
"Did Uncle Lance's little angel have a little accident?" he cooed as he carried wherever to the changing table.
"Come on Lance you can handle this, after all how bad could it be." he gasped for air as he removed the dirty diaper and then carried it to the incinerator. *Help!* He thought to himself as he began to take on the task of getting her all cleaned up and ready for a new diaper.
~~~
"Why are we all standing outside the nursery?" Cassie asked loudly and was shushed by the others.
"Lance is changing a diaper." Keith grinned at Allura, who was holding Ariel in her arms. While Keith still held little Andy.
"Not possible." Cassie hissed, but she could hear Lance's voice coming from inside the room.
"No, but it does make great black mail material." Pidge grinned and Myria began to giggle.
~~~
"Here we go Alex, all cleaned up, now how does this diaper work." he growled as he tried to put the diaper under her freshly powdered little bottom.
"Coo!" she giggled as one of the mice played with her hand.
"Cheddar you are not helping." Lance growled at the mouse, which then stuck his tongue out at him and then left the table.
"Da!" she shouted pointing to the toy on the floor.
"Yes, that's Daddy's lion." he grinned at her as he picked her back up in his arms.
" Hey kid we actually did it." he carried her towards the door.
"I'd vanish if I were you." Cassie hissed at the now empty hallway, finding that she now had both babies in her arms.
"Well look at this angel, we found your sisters and my love is holding them both. Here honey let me relive you of little Miss curious." he smiled at Cass as he plucked Andy away from Cass's bad arm.
"Nananana! Alex protested and started to slap at her sister.
"Mine!" Andy shouted back at her sister and slapped her back.
"What can I am irresistible." Lance grinned at Cassie who burst out with laughter as Andy slapped him across the face with her tiny hand.
"Well? What now smart guy?" she giggled.
"I say that it is time for these little angels to go night night." he mouthed at Cassie as not to alert the girls.
"Oh! Did you hear that darlings? Uncle Lance says that it's time to take a nap." she explained to the babies who all began wailing in protest.
"You are going to pay for this Cassandra." he growled as he set babies into their cribs.
"Here take these." she offered him two stuffed toys.
"Thanks Cass." he took the toys from her and set them each next to the girls.
"See Lance, I know what I'm doing." Cassie smiled at him as the babies calmed down and drifted off to sleep.
"You are going to pay my love." he growled softly as he took the snoozing baby out of her arms.
"Lance." she backed towards the door the second that he had put the baby back in her crib.
"Time to pay up." he growled softly as he stalked towards her.
"Lance behave! You can't really be serious about attacking me in the nursery!" she squeaked as he backed her up against the wall.
"Then lets' go where we can be alone." he growled into her ear.
"Lance, what in the world has gotten into you." she gasped as he ran kisses along her neck.
"Let's just say that today is going to be the first day of the rest of our lives." He whispered into her ear.
"What makes today so special?"
"Cass? Will you marry me?" he asked softly and she began to cry.
"Yes! I'll marry you!" she whimpered softly and then kissed him.
"Shall we go celebrate this is private?" he swept her up in his arms.
"I thought that you would never ask." she sighed as he started to carry her out of the room.
"Way to go Lance!!" Keith and Allura shouted the second he entered the hallway.
"All right you guys!" He blushed crimson with embarrassment, only to be flung to the floor when a huge explosion rocked the castle.
"What was that?!" Cassie screamed as pain shot up her arm.
"Koran? I think that it's time to try out that new shield." Keith shouted into the intercom.
"The shield is already in operation as are the shields in all the other locations." Koran's voice shouted back.
"Koran, was there any major damage done?"
"Black Lion got a direct hit." Koran grimaced the moment he heard Keith lose it.
"WHAT!!!!!!!" he roared in fury running back into the nursery where he could see that his lion was indeed in flames." FOR THIS THEY MUST PAY!" he looked down at his screaming daughters and ran out of the room.
"Keith!" Allura shouted and was going to run after him, but lance grabbed hold of her arm to stop her.
"Where do you think that you're going?" Lance growled.
"After my husband, so let go of my arm!" she ordered him through gritted teeth.
"No Allura, your place is here with your children."
"My place is with my husband and as far as my children are concerned they are perfectly safe here in the castle. Now please let go of my arm!" she hissed at him.
"No!"
*You asked for it!*
"Don't say that I didn't warn you!" she hissed at him before she jabbing him in the ribs with her elbow, following that with a punch in the jaw, and then ending with him being thrown over her shoulder. "Now if you will all excuse me I have a date with my husband." with that said Allura stomped down the hall."Why do I even try..."Lance passed out in Cass's arms.
~~~~
Keith made his way around Deven's ship totally in full view of everyone of Deven's men. He had on purposely chosen to wear a uniform similar to the one that Rand was usually seen wearing, while in battle.
"Master you are needed on the bridge!" one of Rand's men ran up to Keith thinking that he was Rand.
"Of course they do Deven is an idiot!" Keith easily fooled the young ninja.
"I can't wait to take some prisoners!" the young ninja sneered.
In your dreams maybe!*
"Did I ask you to speak!?" Keith snarled. "Get out of my sight now before I tear you in half!!"The poor kid fled in terror down the corridor.
"Now to pay them back for hurting my lion!" Keith headed for the bridge.
~~~
Meanwhile Allura who is now dressed in a jet black ninja uniform, with a pink sash around her middle, doesn't know that she is in the wrong ship.
"Keith." she hissed softly as she stealthily explored Lotor's ship. She didn't get a response from her husband, but she did hear the sound of an all to familiar voice.
"So! That idiot Deven thinks that he can call a meeting in the middle of a battle! He'll just have to learn that he isn't the one running things and I am!!!" Lotor snarled to himself as he stalked down the empty corridor of his ship.
*I'm in trouble!*
Allura whimpered to herself as she dove into an empty doorway."Who's there?" Lotor snarled.
"Oh, I wish that Keith were here." she whispered as Lotor can even closer to her hiding place.
"Whoever you are I'd like you to know that I am not in a good mood today." he growled into the doorway that Allura was using for her hiding place. He was just about to move on but then he heard her whimpering and reached in to grab her by the arm.
*Stay calm Allura, don't panic.*
she told herself as Lotor gave her the once over."So, one Sheena's ninja's has dared to enter my ship!!!" he snarled in fury as he dragged Allura into another room. "Talk and I won't hurt you too much!!!" he sneered as he drank in the sight of her in the skin tight uniform.
Allura shook her head in defiance and glared daggers at him. She tried to remember her training and focused on keeping her cool.
"So a stubborn wench eh? Well, we will just have to see if we can get you to talk." Lotor reached forward and pulled off her mask.
"Allura!!!!" he shouted in total surprise.
"Lotor!! If you value your life you will let go of my arm!!" she hissed at him
"And what is a little kitten like you going to do to a big strong lion like me?" he challenged highly amused that she thought that she could take him.
"This!!" she hissed and pulled him towards her enough so that she could knee him in the groin.
"Why you little witch! You've grown claws!!" he snarled in pain as she raked her nails across his face.
Allura was more than ready for a fight, now that she was free from his grasp. "Give up Lotor! While you can still move!" she taunted him as she kicked him once more for good measure.
"You'll pay for that brat!!" Lotor snarled.
"I have been waiting years for this!" she shouted at him as she threw kick after kick and punch after punch into his body. Fortunately for him he was skilled enough to keep up with her attacks.
~~~
Meanwhile Keith is on the other fortress and is just about to enter the bridge, when Koran contacts him from the castle.
"Keith, if you can hear me don't talk just listen. Allura is on that ship and she is looking for you." Koran growled.
*Of all the stupid, crazy, scatter brained...!*
"What!" he hissed into his Mic."You are on Lotor's ship aren't you?" Koran felt like panicking.
"No! I am on Deven's ship!" he hissed back.
"Allura may be in a little bit of trouble..."
"Why didn't you stop her!!?"
"Lance tried to stop her, but she beat him up." Koran tried not to laugh as he thought of what she had done to Lance.
"Oh! This is just great!!" he snarled as he pulled small device from his belt activating it as he attached it to the wall outside of the bridge.
"When will she learn that she has the babies to think of now!" he snarled as he set similar devices on the walls, as he stalked down the empty corridor.
"If you have harmed on hair on her head Lotor! I will tear you in half!" he snarled to himself.
~~~
Lotor and Allura were still going at it in the other ship.
"Let's see how good that you fight when I have a weapon and you don't!" he hissed at her ,as he spit blood from the cut on his lower lip. Then reached for his laser sword, only to have her kick it out of his hand.
"Let's not!" she snapped as the sword went flying across the room.
"You are even more beautiful when the evil side of you is finally allowed to emerge."
"This is the end of the line Lotor! I am going to make sure that you never father anything in your lifetime!!" she hissed at him as she pulled her own sword from her belt and ignited it.
"You don't have the nerve to do something like this!!' he backed away the sword that she had aimed at his lower anatomy.
"You're not worth it you slime, but you will have this to remember me by. she lunged at him with the sword causing Lotor to drop to his knees, while Allura aimed the sword at his long white hair, giving him a very short crew cut.
"What have you done to me!!" he roared as he looked down at the pile of white hair on the floor.
"I'd call it being merciful, Lotor." she tried to keep a stern expression on her face.
"YOU BITCH!! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE FOR THIS!!! YOUR DAUGHTERS WILL DIE ALONG WITH YOU!!" He lunged at her only to hit the floor as a sword flew over his head and sliced into the far wall of the room.
"Would you are to repeat that Lotor!!" Keith roared and appeared in the room.
"Keith!!" she cried out in surprise.
"Who were you expecting? Rand?" Keith snarled at her.
"No! I didn't need your help anyway!" she snarled back.
"Well, look who has the attitude now!!" he backed away from her lit sword.
"Well! I had a good teacher!!' she hissed back at Keith who cringed when he saw the look she was giving him with her eyes.
"This is going to be good." Lotor growled as the two spouses squared off with each other.
"SHUT UP LOTOR OR I WILL CHANGE MY MIND!!"
"OH man! What happened to his hair!!" Keith took one look at Lotor's new look and burst out with laughter.
"Very funny Keith!! laugh when your enemy is down!!"
"Way to go sweetheart! Go for your opponents ego and you'll win overtime!" Keith grinned at her in approval as he took stock on all the other injuries that Allura had caused Lotor.
"Keith, not that I'm not angry at you for changing the subject, but it looks like Rand came looking for Lotor and Merla is with him." she hissed in his ear, as he handed her a spare ear Mic.
"Argue away babe, it makes the fighting a whole lot more fun." he winked at her and they positioned themselves so that they were back to back.
"You take Rand, Merla's mine." Allura purred into the Mic.
"Fine just don't get to crazy, we only have ten minutes to spare before this ship and Deven's go, as Andy would say bye-bye" Keith explained as he side kicked Rand in the face.
"What did you do to my husband!" Merla snarled at Allura, as she took in Lotor's new look.
"Do you like it? I thought that he needed a new look." Allura grinned.
::Let us see how you deal with a true female warrior!::
Merla challenged."You're on traitor!" she hissed.
"Knock it off with the drama honey and kick her tail off Arus!" Keith growled.
"You always want to spoil all of my fun!" she pouted as she went head to head with Merla.
"Does it really matter, as long as you still get to show them that they can't push you around." Keith continued his lecture on fighting.
"No, but taunting is so much more fun." she added as she fought her opponent.
"So, you and Keith are together as one in battle as well as in marriage." Merla was impressed with Allura's new skill in battle.
"Why did you go back being bad?" she demanded as she kicked the weapon out of Merla's hand it flew to the spot where Lotor was resting landing just inches from his lower body.
"Being good was boring, I need the excitement and challenge, besides that you very well nearly killed my husband." she tried to nail Allura in the face.
"He nearly murdered Lance, Hunk and Pidge! Keith nearly died because of Lotor's thirst for revenge! He was very lucky that Keith didn't kill him when he had the chance!" she shouted at her landing a punch to Merla's face.
"So the little kitten has grown claws, have you. let me remind you of this one little fact. I am doing exactly what you are doing and that is standing by my husbands side in battle." she hissed in pain as Allura hit her again.
"I am fighting for the good of my planet Merla! We didn't provoke this fight! You did by destroying Black Lion! What did you expect me to do sit around in the castle while Keith got himself killed up here!" she was so furious with Merla that she forgot to block one of Merla's attacks which got her right across the face and caused her to see stars for a few second.
"I actually expected you to stay down there with your girls, instead of running blindly into this situation, because you don't think or trust your husband enough to handle the situation by himself." Merla snarled back punching Allura in the face, only to be knocked out by a quick punch from Allura's fist.
"Don't you ever say that I don't care about the safety of my kids or that I don't trust my husband again!" she screamed at Merla as her opponent feel to the floor.
~~~
While Allura and Merla were having it out with each other, Keith and Rand were having a small war of their own. "You will never win as long as your mind is on your wife and not on the fight at hand." Rand taunted Keith.
"Shut up and fight! We all know who the loser is going to be, so why are you even trying." Keith hurled Rand over his shoulder and into the far wall.
"That will not happen again." Rand vaulted back up to his feet only to be kicked several times by Keith.
"Oh really?" he snarled back as he glanced down at the timer on his wrist. They had less than two minutes before both ships went bye-bye. "I would love to continue this Rand, but you know places to go things to do." he knocked him out cold with one punch to the face.
"Keith I'm done with my garbage collecting. How about you?" Allura smiled over at him.
"Yes darling let's go we must not keep our babies waiting." he ran over and threw her up over his shoulder in a fireman's carry, before running out of the room.
"Keith! What is wrong?" she gasped.
"We are about to just barely make it out of here with our lives." Keith informed her as they both vanished from the ship.
~~~
{Huge explosion in both ships!}
~~~
"You mean to tell me that the scum goes bye-bye and Keith and Allura go up in flames!?" Cassie watched in horror as the two ships blew up on the screen, with Rand, Lotor and the others escaping in shuttles.
"We don't know that Cassie. They may still be alive." Koran said softly but had great doubt in his voice.
"Oh! My poor baby!!" Nanny couldn't watch the screen anymore and fled the room in tears.
"He can't be gone. Who do you think set the bombs? He couldn't be that crazy unless they got caught." Lance was scanning for some sign that they had made it, but found nothing.
"I know exactly where they are." Sheena walked over and keyed in some commands to the computer. Then screen then showed Keith and Allura safe and sound in their private wing and playing with the babies.
"So that's where they are!" Hunk sighed in relief.
"Why didn't they tell us that they were okay?" Cassie was not at all happy with her big brother.
"That's simple Cass, the girls come first before they even remember to tell us that they are safely back in the castle!" Lance snarled.
~~~
Keith put ice on Allura's swollen knuckles and on her bruised face. "Sit still." he ordered softly.
"I can't it hurts when you put ice on it!" she hissed in pain as she fed Andy her bottle.
"You asked for this Allura, no pain no victory in hand to hand combat." Keith growled glaring at Ally, but smiling at his little shadow.
"Oh, I don't think that I am going to be able to move tomorrow. Why do you always get me into these situations!" she groaned.
"Me! You are the one that left our kids, beat up Lance, and then ended up on the wrong ship." Keith ducked as a pillow was thrown at his face. "Hey! I've got two innocent babies in my arms, so watch it with the projectiles!"
"You're the one who left the castle in a rage in the first place!" she glared at him as she burped Andy.
"That's because they trashed my lion and scared my kids! It's my job to protect you and the babies. Just as it is your responsibility to make sure that they are safe and protected in the castle." He got up and set the two babies in their bassinets.
"Are you saying that my place is with the babies and not with you on the Voltron Force!" She hissed at him as she set Andy down in her bassinet.
I'm saying that as long as our babies are still less than a year old, that you need to stay here in the castle and let me do the fighting." he turned to glare at his wife only to be slapped in the face with her ice pack.
"How dare you say that just because we have our baby girls, that I'm suppose to stay here in the castle and knit! While my husband goes on a rampage and ends up getting himself killed!! I have been training for years just to keep my spot on the force, because I have earned it as a true member, not because of my title!! I have been training every waking hour with Sheena for over nine months and might I add raising our babies with the rest of my time!! So don't you dare say that my place is here in the castle , with our children , or even here in our bedroom!!! In case you haven't noticed I have handled everything better than I could have ever dreamed of and It was worth all of the hard work. You see now I can honestly say that I can stand with you in battle, on the throne, in the nursery, as well as in our bedroom and today sure as heck proved that more than anything!!!!!" not even giving him a second glance and finally out of breath she stomped towards their master bath.
*I sure blew that one big time!* "Well little angels it looks like daddy is going to move you into your cribs tonight, cause your Mommy and I have some serious making up to do." he cooed down at the sleeping toddlers as he opened the connecting door to the nursery.
Nanny had just come to check on her little charges and was startled to find Keith tucking in the babies. "Oh! Your majesty your alive!!." Nanny cried out in relief and went to help Keith with the babies.
"Of course we are still alive Nanny. Who do you think blew up those ships?" Keith drawled sarcastically.
"Well the least that the two of you could have done was informed us that you weren't on those ships when they exploded!!" Nanny hissed at him when he moved her away from the cribs, so that he could tuck each of his girls safely in their cribs.
"Is that all Nanny?" Keith frowned at the woman who was doing a very good job at irritating him at the moment.
"Did Allura get hurt?"
"No, Nanny she did not get hurt." Keith sighed impatiently, "The only injuries that she suffered were a bruised jaw, hands and sore muscles. He bent down and kissed each of his treasure's goodnight. " Oh, and she single handedly took down both Lotor and his wife. I was only along for the ride and to make sure that she got out with her life intact. Now the two of us are going to turn in for the night and our room is off limits any problems call Koran and if the babies start to fuss, which I seriously doubt they will. Allura and I will take care of them." He stopped Nanny before she could say another word. "Good night Nanny." he dismissed her before going back to his own room.

Lance and Cassie glared at the sign that had been posted on the nursery and on Keith and Ally's private quarters.
"Do not disturb or risk being beheaded!!?" Lance read the sign. "I don't think they are up for a lecture right now." he growled.
"I really don't care what my brother wants!" Cassie hissed back at Lance and went to pound on the door.
"Are you out of your mind!!! He'll kill you if you disturb them right now!!" Lance proceeded to pick her up toss her over her shoulder and carried her away from the doors.
"Lance will you let go of me!!! He deserves to know how we feel!!" she screeched in protest and pounded her fist against his shoulders.
"Aren't you forgetting that we have some celebrating to do of our own?"
"Lance will you please be serious!! I think that Keith needs to know how we feel about his actions." she hissed as she slid down his body.
"You need to loosen up Cass and I know just how to make you do that." He growled against her neck.
"Lance..." she gasped as he continued to attack her.
"Now Cassie I think that we both need a nice…(kiss)…long(kiss)...hot shower(very long kiss). He had only one thing on his mind and that was having his way with her.
"Your wearing to many clothes..." she protested and then gaped at him in shock when he literally ripped the shirt off his body.
"Better?" he growled softly as he carried her towards the shower.
"Yes but there is only one tiny thing stopping us from what you have in mind."
"Oh really? Do tell..." Lance set her down in front of the shower stall.
"I have this bandage on my arm and the Doc said that I wasn't suppose to get it wet." she whimpered as he trailed kisses down her throat.
"So we'll just skip the shower and move on to the main event." he grinned deviously and carried her to their bed.
"As you wish." Cassie whimpered and gave in to him completely.
~~~
Keith stood just outside the shower stall and eyed the frosted glass. "Allura, if you won't even try and talk this out then I am just going to have to come in there and join you." he threatened but she chose to ignore him completely.
*He wouldn't dare try to join me in the shower after the male he's the man I'm the woman speech he gave me!*
she fumed to herself as she let the water soothe her ruffled feathers."That does it Allura! I have had it with you giving me the silent treatment!" he stripped off his uniform and then opened the shower door.
"Keith! Get out this instant I'm in here and I don't feel like company!" she snapped at him but did not turn around.
"Sorry babe, but this shower was built so the two of us could use it at the same time!" Keith snarled back.
"Well I don't want you in here so get out!!"
"That's just too damn bad, cause I am sick of your attitude problem!"
"Mine!! If anyone had an attitude problem it's you!!" she shouted at him as she poured shampoo onto her hair. "I just tag along so that you don't get yourself killed!!" she hissed in pain when shampoo got into her eyes.
"Would you like me to wash your hair for you? That way you won't get soap in your eyes." Keith hated to see her in any kind of distress.
" No thank you , you've done enough already!" she snarled.
"Fine, be stubborn!" he went back to his side of the shower.
"I don't believe this! I'm out of shampoo!" she hissed as she threw the empty bottle over the shower door and into the bathroom sink.
"Well, that's just too bad because I have plenty left on my side." he snickered back.
"Keith, will you please give me the other bottle of shampoo." she asked softly.
"Come and get it yourself." he taunted her.
"You know that I can't do that." she whimpered shakily.
"Why is that Allura? All that you have to do is turn around and take what you want." he growled softly.
"No, I can't do it.."
"Look at me Allura." he ordered softly and turned her so that she was now facing him.
"No."
"Look at me!" he ordered once more.
"Fine Keith I'm looking at you are you..." her voice trailed off as she lost herself in his dark fathomless eyes.
"I love you Allura and I have to admit that I am very proud of you." he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
"So, why exactly are we fighting?" she sighed against his lips.
"Fighting? Who said that we were fighting?"
"So you agree that my place is beside you, as well as with our kids?" she whispered.
"I agree that our place is first of all with our kids, then with each other, then with this planet, and lastly in battle when duty calls." he smiled down at her.
"You really mean that?" she whispered.
"Yes Allura, you and the kids mean more to me than being in the Voltron Force or anything else in the universe."
"If that is true then why did you run off like a mad man when Black lion was damaged?" she arched a brow up at him and waited for his answer.
"They attacked the castle, and then sacred our babies! So, all that mixed in with seeing, how do I say this, a part of you go up in flames can influence a guys reaction." Keith frowned down at her and was surprised as she turned his water to ice cold and then stomped out of the shower in a huff. "Allura?!!!"
"You expect me to believe that, after all of your actions and words this evening??!!"
"Allura, if you think that I am the only one that used bad judgement and then changed their minds just like that! Then you have got another thing coming!!" he pulled her back into the freezing cold shower.
"Keith! Let go of me!!" she screamed at him as the cold water pelted against her skin.
"Not until you get off your high and mighty throne long enough to understand that we both screwed up today!" he snarled at her.
"I was not out of line!! I was merely trying to make sure that you didn't go and get yourself killed!" she shouted back.
"Wrong Ally, you felt that you had to prove to yourself and me that you could still hold your own in battle! You only used me as an excuse!" he growled hoarsely.
"That's not true Keith! I was only concerned about you! Proving myself to you and the rest of the team didn't even cross my mind!" she shouted back at him still in total denial.
"If that was true then why did you go to Lotor's ship instead of Deven's?!" he snarled back.
"Because that is where I thought that you were heading to."
"Allura, I was going for the ship that fired on us and that was Deven's ship. I could have cared less about the wimp! I only wanted to take out the lead one!"
"How was I suppose to know that!"
"Believe it or not Allura, I did tell Koran where I was going before I left the castle." he gave her his I've got you nailed glare.
"I was going by your someone hurt Black Lion, now their going to die look." she whimpered.
"If you would have taken that little bit of extra time to think about maybe wearing your mic, before you went chasing after me, then you would have known that Koran knew where I was the entire time!" he was tired of going in circles with her.
"That's how you knew where I was?"
"Yes Allura, Koran informed me that you beat up Lance and then came looking for me." Keith shook his head in defeat unable to stay angry with her any longer.
"So, let me get this straight, you left the castle with Koran knowing where you would be. While I went running blindly after you, only to end up in the wrong ship, where I then proved to myself that I was still able to handle everything on my own." she frowned at him.
"That's right Allura, you came after me, only to end up single handedly defeating the wimp. While I set explosives on the other ship, then went to rescue a wife that didn't need any rescuing and where we both fought side by side as a team and won." Keith kissed her on the nose.
"Can we kiss and make up now? I am freezing in here!!" she whimpered through her chattering teeth.
Keith reached over and turned the tap back to soothing warm water," I have an even better idea." he growled down at her and gave her a very hungry glance.
"Then by all means we should go commence with your idea immediately." she whispered into his ear.
"I love you, wife."
"And I love you my husband.."
