Tip and Oh eagerly watched as their first child was about to hatch. It had been a whole two years since the egg was formed. Lucy, Kyle and Smek were there, as well a their new Boov friends from Earth. They were Grovyle, and Ehh. Grovyle goes to take a close look at the incubator and accidentally knocks it over while Tip and Oh are briefly out of the room. Grovyle panics, turning a bright yellow as she tries desperately to catch the incubator. She misses. And Luna's egg is showing a crack in it when she rights it. Ehh seeing Grovyle run from the house deep blue and crying hurries out to comfort his friend. Meanwhile the final seconds start to count down on the timer as Tip and Oh reenter the room. "Where is Grovyle and Ehh" Tip asks "it's almost time for Luna to hatch." Kyle says "Grovyle accidentally knocked over the incubator and ran out deeply depressed thinking she has hurt Luna when her egg showed a crack afterwards. Ehh wents out to comfort her." Tip looks at the egg "Do you think Luna is alright?" Smek says, laying a comforting hand on Tip "She is alls right. A crack at this stage is being normal."
"Grovyle, Ehh come in quickly! Luna is soon to hatching" Oh calls out towards the door. Grovyle and Ehh return, and even though Ehh gets close to watch Grovyle hangs towards the back. She is still somewhat blue, and just looks over the others as best she can. "Do not you want to be getting a better look" Ehh says, noticing Grovyle in the back. "No" she says sadly "I dos not want to be risking any further harm to Luna." Lucy seeing Grovyle is still sad says "Luna is OK, Smek says the crack is normal at this this stage." Grovyle turns briefly red, before returning to blue, "Not EVERYTHINGS he says is true" she glares at Smek. Ehh nods in agreement, they had both been 'Shushed' by him before. Ehh was protective of his newest friend Grovyle, and though she was brave, and was helping him learn things taught by her Humansfamily, her emotions could be delicate.
Soon the near argument was forgotten, as sounds could be heard from the incubator. Everyone watched as excitedly as Luna finished breaking thru the shell, all but Grovyle that is who managed to cheer up slightly (her blue lightened by just a shade). The sight of the combined qualities of Boov and Human in one precious little youngster melted the hearts of all gazing at her. Oh turning a deep pink turned to Tip, "The data the Big Brain showed us was being quite accurate, she relfects you my 'sun.'" All there laughed, even Grovyle, who had just managed to shake the rest of her sadness. Grovyle says, "Thanking you Tip and Oh for invitings us to watch, but I has to be going home now. My humansfamily will to be worrying if I is not back soon." "I got to be goings also" Ehh says "I am being her ride as I has accidentally broke her Bubble Pod trying to makes it better, and nows I has to be fixing it. We has left the presents by the door."
And just like that it was only the main circle of friends. Already they could see that Luna shared Tips personality, she reached out to everyone there. "Just like Tip" Smek said remembering when Tip had stood up to him. Oh, Kyle, and Tip all laugh, remembering the joke about it that he had told her in Boovish earlier. They turn their attention to the Hatching gifts, and find out that Ehh had give a toy Boovish tool set, and Grovyle had given a toy Boovish gardening tool set. Kyle and Smek, had both gifted modified Boovish baby clothes, and Lucy had got them baby bottles, and a couple of rattles.
A discussion was had a little bit later and all agreed that Tip and Ohs children should learn the ways and languages of both peoples. Tip smiled looking down at the pendant she wore, remembering all that had happened since she had been given it. The endless messages about problems, and questions had slowed down to a trickle, which was good since life would be a bit more busy since their family had just grown. Luna cried in hunger and sleepiness, turning blue, the guests took this as the signal that it was time to leave. Smek took off in a Bubble Pod earthbound by himself, and Kyle flew Lucy to her home.
Oh sighed in huge relief, as Tip fed luna her first bottle of milk (the Boovish variety). They were both glad Smek had settled down again after they had returned from their Honeymoon. It had taken months to get things straightened out from Smeks brief stint back in power. Luna liked her meal just fine, turning orange before falling asleep in Tips arms. Tip was glad that she liked it, she knew just because something was edible, didn't mean it was delicious. She was still amazed at the physical makeup of her adoptive species, they ate on a daily basis things that would have made her sick, if not killed her. She was grateful of the fact that the Food Producers in both her home here in the Lunar Colony, and their Large Pod, had been programmed with the abilities to make human food as well.
It had been a long day, and after putting Luna to bed in her crib, the two settled into bed themselves and quickly fell asleep. Two hours later they were woken up. Luna had a really good set of lungs, and both parents had to cover their ears. Oh groaned opening his eyes "I will to seeing what Luna is needing, you tries to getting back to sleep." Getting up he went to her crib, and discovered that she was hungry. "So soon? You was fed only couple hours ago" he told her in surprise. After he fed her, and settled her in the crib once more he returned to bed. "I nevers needed an alarming clock before, but something is telling me I will be needing one now" he thought to himself, pulling the covers back over him. Looking over he saw Tip was already asleep again, "I thinks we will have to do the switching off for this" he thought as his exhaustion took hold and he himself fell asleep.
The next morning Tip woke up at her usual time, and was a little surprised to see Oh was still in bed. "Guess I'll have to make the breakfast this morning" she thought. Oh usually did it every day, it was one of the many ways he showed his great love for her. Knowing Oh would need help waking up she made his Boovish coffee extra strong, along some energizing foods Oh had told her about. Looking up at the clock she saw that it was getting late in the morning, and the others Boovs would be concerned if he wasn't up and about. Going back to their room she found him still snoring, "Oh, wake up. It's getting late." Oh groggily opened his eyes, clearly trying to fully wake up, and not quite succeeding. "What time is it" he asked as he sat up and looked at her. "It's 10:00 Earth Time" she said. "WHAT?! I has almost no time to be getting ready" he said, his skin shifted to a dark yellow briefly as he got dressed in his day vest in a hurry. "I dos not even have time to makes myself the brakes fast" he said as he rushed out of the room. "I already made you some" Tip said smiling at him, "there's extra strong Boov Coffee, and also some energy food." Oh stopped running, and looked at Tip, quickly turning dark pink, "I loves the way you is always helping me out" he said, giving her a big hug. He then ate his food and rushed outside where the others were no doubt already waiting to have his attention.
Tip stayed inside with Luna caring for her, she had a lot to learn about being a mom, but she felt up to the challenge. After all she and Oh had been thru together when they were both younger, she had no doubt that they were both equal to whatever parenthood might bring. Oh on the other hand was feeling a little overwhelmed that day, the babies crying and really thrown his sleep off. Despite the coffee, and breakfast the effects of the night before could readily be seen. There were circles under his eyes, and he kept zoning out when others would talk to him. One complaint kept resurfacing among the Boov, many of them heard the baby cry disturbing their sleep. This they easily forgave their Captain, seeing how he had suffered much worse. "I knows she has some good lungs, I am going to be sounds proofing my place todays" this was his response to the complainers. The Boov felt him be after a while seeing how he wasn't quite himself (then again who is their first day of parenthood).
With leadership duties out of the way for the day he turned to enabling his fellows a good night sleep. Tip was confused seeing him home so early. "Is anything wrong" she asked. "No, they just has seen that last nights way rough, sos they left early" he said, fetching his toolbox. Tip looked curiously as he brought it out. "You has never seen Boovish tools before haves you" he said noticing her interest. "No, when you modified my moms car I was inside. I only saw it after it was done" she said. "Takes a look then" he said with a smile. She took a look and was instantly surprised. What she saw didn't even look like tools. There was something that looked like a cranking pencil sharpener made of lemon jello, and a purple something with somethings sticking out of it, three different pink furry things with twisty parts, a bunch of small somethings that resembled asprin, and a spray can shaped like a kidney. These were just some of the odd stuff she noticed. "What are you going to do" she called after him as he went outside. "Sounds proofing our house" he said as he cranked the 'pencil sharpener'. To her surprise a line of yarn was produced, and after he had a good amount he tied one end to himself, and pulling out a Gravity Manipulator lifted him self to the top of the house before securing the other end to the house. As he turned off the Gravity Manipulator, Tip yelled up to him. "That yarn looks awfully thin, can it even hold your weight without breaking" she asked. Oh smiled mischievously before jumping from the roof with all his strength. Tip winced and looked away, fearing the worst. "Is OK Tip" he called out to her. She turned and looked back towards the house half expecting the yarn to have broke, and at least a slightly hurt Oh. What she saw left her completely stunned, there hung Oh bouncing playfully on the end of a very intact piece of yarn halfway up the house. "Yarn is next to impossible to break" he said to her. Then he climbed back up to the top, and looking down at Tip saw her glaring at him. "Uh oh, what dids I do this time" he thought to himself. Slightly confused he asked her "What is the purpose of your face, Tip?" "I thought you were going to hurt yourself" came the angry reply. "Sorries, I was not meaning to scare you Tip. I hads thought a demonstration would being best way to ease your fears" he said appologeticly. Tip sighed and let it drop. "Can you toss to me the Flocked Bootpunch" he said. Tip looked confused at the pile of tools in his toolbox, "What does it look like" she asked. "Pink, Fur Twisty parts" he said. She looked back at the tools "That describes three different things" she said. "It alsos should be quivering a littles bit" he told her. "Oh, here it is" she said and tossed it to him.
Soon the house was soundproofed things returned to normal. Oh first tried waking to Boov music, but it was always so relaxing it put him back to sleep, then he switched to Earth music. He had his Pad play "Dancing in the Dark", and that got him out of bed. In fact the dace it almost always had him do had the effect of giving him some extra energy. And he could soon return to his usual breakfast.
Things remained calm again for a while, until their son was born that is.
I can not be claiming all the credit for this story. A deviant artist known as FeralSonic has given me permission to write her character in, the other new one is me. Ehh is skilled in mechanics like Oh, and decided to tweak my Pod. We talks back and forth there and it gives me ideas.
