Ch2
Ben woke up and found himself on sofa. He looked around and sighed. He believed what happen was a dream.
"Mom. Dad. Where are you?" Ben asked
"In the kitchen, come and joy us." His mother said
Oh poor hero, when he reached, he found "His kids" are eating and talking with his parent. They look enjoy to talk with them. It just like they knew them for a long time.
"Oh dad, you woke up. Here let me help you." Rush said and brought Ben to the head of the table with his lighting speed.
"Whoa!" Ben exclaimed "That is so fast."
"Well, I got from my mom." Rush boasted.
"Okay okay. I believed you guys are their children but explain how could I had a polygamy." Ben begged.
"Well dad, you haven't had polygamy yet. We come to you to make sure it exists." Edward said.
"What do you mean by that?" Ben doubted.
Then Ken brought a hologram machine and places it on the table. He pushes a button and it display many universes then he point at the red one.
"This is our universe dad, the one that you lead us as team to protect galaxy." Ken explained
"Okay, what about that blinking yellow line?" Ben pointed.
"That is a reason we came here, dad." Alice said.
"We do not know what a reason is but we believe something happen to our timeline. It's going to make our world never exits." Peach said with shaking sound.
"We thought you are going to make some mistake to one of ours mother." Jinx shared their opinion.
"Wait a minute! Do your parents know about this?" Ben asked
They nodded as one.
"Then why they did not come? How could they let you guys come?" Ben protested
"Come one dad, you knew the reason. Time travel rule, remember?" Jinx said
Unfortunately, Ben could not think of anything about "Time travel rule". It made his kids sighed and a little bit disappoint about their father.
"It's simple, people from the future could not come to the past if they exits. That why we are here. We do not exist yet." Peach explained.
"Now, let's talk about how to protect our future." Edward said
"STOP!" Ben shouted
Each of them look at him with surprisingly face. Ben did not say anything. He just walks to the door and go outside of house. His kids making a sadly face and cry. They are so desperate. Fortunately, their grandmother is there. She starts to hug and rub their back. She tries to comfort them. On the other hand, their grandfather follows Ben to outside. Ben was sitting and thinking. His father knew today is a crazy day. It must be so tough for him. He did not say anything just sat beside Ben.
"Dad, what should I do?" Ben asked with serious face.
"About?" His father looked in his son eyes.
"Everything! How could I deal with this problem? I mean I married to six women and have six kids. Look at each of them, crazy two empress, one witch, my first love, co-worker, and my own cousin. That is so crazy dad. How could I rise them, I am just a teenager" Ben yelled.
"Are you done?" His father asked calmly.
"May be" Ben said nervously.
"Ben being a parent is not easy but it's the best thing I and your mother ever done. Look at yourself, we raised you to be a good person. You protect the world and save the galaxy. That made us proud son." He explained.
"But kids…" his father stop him before he finished.
"Ben looks at me. I knew you are crazy but right now your kids are crying inside the house. You need to comfort them. You are their only hope. We will think about other problem later but now go." He said and supported him.
Ben walks inside the house and saw his kids were hugging their grandmother. He walks and sits near them while his mother told them to see Ben.
"Edward, Alice, Rush, Peach, Ken, and Jinx, I am sorry for what happened. I was freaking out. I promised no more, ok?" Ben said while wipe the tears from their face.
"We understand you, dad. We just scare." Peach said.
"No need to scare, now let's forget about that and tell me your plan, shall we?" Ben asked
"Sure" they yell as one.
"Honey, I think we should leave them together, you knew family time." His father said.
"Ok, kids anything happen just called me." His mother said and glared at Ben seriously before leave the room.
"Alright back to your plan. What do you got kids?" Ben asked
"Well, it's not a plan, just an idea to secure our future dad." Edward said hesitatingly
"Tell me about that's." Ben said.
"First, we need to make the relationship between you and our mothers. I mean a seriously relationship." Alice said while look seriously.
"I knew what you thinking dad. Our mothers look impossible for you to start a good relationship" Jinx giggled
"Truth, especially your mother Jinx, how could I hook up with Gwen? She got Kevin already." Ben confused
"Dad, second rule of time traveler, we cannot told you what going to happen exactly. We just gave you an advice and idea. You are the only one who chooses the path." Peach explained
"Oh man, this is lame." Ben muttered.
They giggled how Ben so childish. He looked different from what they seen in the future.
"Ok, fine. No my children's advice. Wait a minute, that's sound like I am a totally loser, right?" Ben chuckled.
They laughed louder this time.
"Okay, before it gone too far, let focus on our problem, shall we?" Rush said while laughing.
"Agreed" they said as one.
"Dad, we think you should start with my mom first." Rush said lively.
"Yeah, all of us agreed, mother Helen could be the most problem for you." Edward agreed.
"?" Ben look confused.
"Because you did not talk to her for a long time, doesn't it Dad?" Edward reminded him.
Damn. What he said is true. After dealing with the rooter and Servantis, he did not talk with Helen properly. How could he meet her again?
"Do not worry dad, you can do it. You are Ben 10." Ken said while pat his father's shoulder
"Yea, I think I got some idea." Ben said nervous.
When they look at the clock, it's already ten p.m. already. They agreed to finish their talking. Kids said they were going to sleep at the living room but Ben rejected. There is no way he going to let them sleep there. He orders them to sleep in his room with two extra beds that kept for guest. At first they protested until Ben said "I am your father so no objection."
After that Ben went to his parent room and explained necessary thing to them but not all he knew. They satisfied in his explanation. They also agreed to let their grandchildren stay. Especially his mother, she suggested they need new clothes and some teenager stuff. That made Ben and dad signed because it's money time. Without any objection, this topic done in no time.
Before he took a sleep, he decided to look how his kids doing. He walked slowly and quietly. He opened the door slowly. He saw a pair of sibling who slept in three beds by Edward and Rush, Alice and Peach and Ken and Jinx. From what he saw, they must be exhausted because he walked to look at them so close, they still slept. Ben just smiled and left them to sleep. He walked down to the living room and lean backward to the sofa. He looked at ceiling and kept thinking about today. How could his success in couple life? Look at Julie and Ester, how is it end?
"No!" he yelled "Do not think about the past. Now, I need to focus on my children future. Think about it Ben, if you failed you lost six of them. I am going to make sure their future exist."
That night, our young hero growth up in many ways, he could not goof around like the past anymore. No more sumo slammer. He swore to be a good father and man.
