Later on that night, Skyler is snuggled up with Porthose on a couch as the adults have a bit of wine to close the night.
"So where are you moving to? France? Ireland? England? Or Scotland?" Trip looks curious.
"We decided on Ireland. There will be plenty of space for our pups to grow and some humans to help us get used to world on this new world." Kix smiles softly.
"Though the ship is split four ways. So I guess we'll all be going different ways." Terra's ears droop a bit at that.
"Hey, your people are still a pack. They're just splitting into four different ones like they would have anyway." Kix takes her hand massaging it lightly.
"Whom will be the leaders of each fraction group?" Pol, the Vulcan, stares at them with a poker face.
"Nice, rub salt into that wound." Trip gives a small glare.
"No. No it's fine." Terra shakes her head a bit, her ears still down. "Cody and my sister, Bella, will be the leaders for the Ireland group." She starts picturing him with her dusty blond haired sister.
'I'm happy that we'll be staying together at least. And we'll be there in time for the triplets to be born.' Terra pictures her two months along twin.
"Kilo will be going to Scotland with his group. Clark will be leading the English group. Finally Betty will lead the France group. Each split to fifty Mac Tires." Kix explains.
"I hope we prove to be a truly good new home." Archer nods his head to them.
"I think we'll enjoy it." Terra nods with a small smile.
"Grass… play…" Skyler mutters in his sleep with a twitching ear.
"We better get this little guy back to rest." Kix whispers picking up his pup.
"Have a good night." Archer whispers giving a polite nod.
The parents do the same thanking him for the meal. They'd be having a busy day tomorrow.
Arriving the next morning they arrive over Earth. As the ships duck for repairs and to be looked over the people are lead to shuttles heading for San Francisco. As they go in the shuttles the Hoppers are materialized to a farm where they can be looked over and get used to this gravity and air.
"Mama look! Look! A city!" Skyler's tail wags like crazy as he looks out a shuttle window.
"Yes baby. A city." Terra pats his head smiling at his twinkling eyes.
As they land though they find a panic going on in a different shuttle. Bella's shuttle. Terra runs over to see her holding her stomach as Cody tries to help her breath.
"What happened?" Kix calls needing answers.
"I-I don't know. She started complaining of stomach pains a-and then…" Travis looks worried.
"P-pups…" Bella pants looking at her sister.
"Is there a medic room inside?" Terra turns to one of the Star Fleet members staring in shock.
"What?" The woman looks surprised.
"Hospital? Nurses office? You have inside?" Terra fumes pointing.
"Y-yes." A man nods wildly.
"Then you four go get it ready with medical tools." Terra points with a fierce tone.
"Ma'am!" They salute rushing off.
"I'll make sure it's ready." Kix rushes in with them.
"Travis, you take Skyler to the others and inform them of what's going on." Terra eyes him.
"Yes ma'am." Travis nod.
"Cody, Help me get her in." Terra takes one of her sister's arms.
"R-right." Cody calls worried for his wife and pups.
"Mama, stay." Skyler calls as Travis hugs him to keep him from running off.
"It'll be okay kiddo. We'll go play with Porthose, alright?" Travis picks him up patting his back.
Skyler nods with drooped ears. Worried for his aunty and the pups.
Meanwhile in the halls everyone clears the way for the pregnant lady. Or jump out of the way as things start flying as she howls in pain.
"T-Terra i-its too early. W-what if they're…" Bella whimpers as they get her on the table.
"Hey. Hey look at me, they're going to be fine. You're going to be fine." Terra smiles softly as she looks over the tools.
"She's right, our girls just wanted to see their new home is all." Cody pats his wife's clammy head with one hand and holding her hand gently with the other.
"Oh croi." Bella looks at him lovingly.
"Mind if I help?" Phlox comes in already in scrubs.
"Please." Kix nods as he finishes getting ready.
With that they get to work. None knowing there was a crowed gathering outside the medbay. Everyone waiting with baited breath. Humans at the first none human births on Earth and Mac Tires at the first Heirs being born.
After what feels like eternity, the first little howl is heard. Ears perking up at that and tails wagging as the second then thirds are heard. Phlox coming out to see the over-crowded waiting room.
"They are three healthy girls named Iris, Lily, and Rose." Phlox explains softly handing the scans of the new borns to the head of Star Fleet Medical.
"Oh thank goodness. They really wanted to say hi huh? Little trouble makers already." Everyone in the waiting room relaxes.
"See?" Skyler tugs on Phlox lab coat lightly with drooped ears.
"Your aunty is really tired. But if the immediate family would like to come in and say hi to the little ones I think that would be fine. As long as you're quiet." Phlox smiles down at him then looks at the other two brothers.
"Right." Rex and Ponds nod, Ponds taking Skyler's hand.
Entering they find Bella asleep on the bed with three basinets close by. Cody holding one bundle in a pink blanket as he sits by the windowsill. Kix holding a yellow blanket and Terra a purple one.
"Hey there guys." Cody whispers with an endless smile on his face. "Want to meet your nieces?"
"Look at that." Ponds comes over to Cody to see the tan skinned babe with sandy little ears asleep in his arms.
"So small." Rex goes over to Kix to see tuffs of black hair on the sleeping pup.
"I see?" Skyler points to himself with drooped ears.
"Here baby." Terra pends down so Skyler could see the identical tan skinned baby.
"So pretty." Skyler's tail wags as he whispers looking at her sleeping face.
"They each have different eye colors too." Cody smiles down at his little one as she nuzzles into him.
"Great job Reg King." Ponds pats his back lightly.
"They're amazing." Rex smiles taking Lily, yellow blanket, nuzzles into him in her sleep.
"I think it's time we put them down to sleep." Terra whispers placing Iris down in her crib. "You need your sleep too." She looks over at the tired new dad.
"Right." Cody nods placing Rose down in her spot.
"Have a good night." Rex places Lily down.
"Say night to your cousins Skyler." Kix picks up his little man.
"Night. Night." Skyler waves rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Cody waves two his brothers before snuggling up next to Bella. Bella snuggling into him as soon as he gets on the bed. Him wrapping his arms around her happily. Their new life would really begin on this new planet and he couldn't be happier.
Sadly they'd have to stay at Star Fleet for a bit to debrief. After a few weeks they pretty much had the English langue down. On the fourth week it was time for everyone to start for their new homes. Though the Fangs got a surprise.
"Not coming?" Skyler's ears droop looking at two of his uncles as they eat at their hotel for the last time.
"Why? What's wrong?" Kix looks shocked.
"We're really going to need you guys. Especially with Flower Power here." Cody looks at his three adorable yet handful daughters chewing on their teething toys.
"We were planning on staying to help but…" Ponds starts glancing at Rex.
"But there's so much of this world to see and we want to explore it." Rex explains looking out the window curiously.
"Where would you go?" Terra's ears droop as she looks at them somewhat understanding.
"We were thinking of backpacking, seeing where we're drawn to." Rex smiles softly.
"Will you come back?" Bella looks much the same as her sister.
"Of course." Ponds nods. "You think we'd miss these three's first birthday? Or his first day of school?" he rustles the pups heads.
"You better write and call." Cody warns with a bit of worry in his eyes.
"We will." The two nod with warm smiles.
Skyler looked at them sadly. He didn't want his uncles to go.
The next morning everyone was packed. The packs saying goodbye to one another. All promising to meet here for their holidays so they can meet up again. Though the saddest goodbye to come.
"Are you two sure you have enough?" Bella looks at them worried, mama mode in full swing as she pushes a carriage with the three inside.
"Yes. These packs are more than enough." Ponds swings his backpack over his shoulder.
"Where are you going first?" Terra's ears droop worried for them.
"We were thinking of hitchhiking towards New York and see where to go from there." Rex ties down his bag then sees Skyler standing by the stairs with downed ears. "Do we get hugs?" he bends down stretching his arms out for him.
Skyler runs into his arms hugging him around the neck. Nuzzling him as he cries.
"No go. No go." Skyler hics hugging him.
"We'll be back soon pup. Promise." Rex hugs him patting his head.
"And we'll bring presents from where we stopped. Swear it." Ponds bends down wanting his hug.
Skyler moves to him. Nuzzling and crying as he takes in each of their scents.
"Last transport of the day." A man calls by a beaming plat form.
"See you two around." Cody waves.
"Stay safe." Kix looks at them softly.
"Same to you two." Rex waves with a sad smile.
"Be good to each other." Ponds waves fighting down some tears.
"Bye-bye." Skyler hics as he waves, holding his mom's hand.
With a push of a button they are transported from the metal city of San Francisco to the lush green of Ireland. The others all being greeted by the human neighbors with a large welcome potluck dinner out in the middle of town.
