Chapter 2: The Kids Are Alright
Two weeks after the ceremony, Emmet and Wyldestyle were sitting on their porch swing.
"You know, Luce." said Emmet. "I've been thinking. Wouldn't it be nice to have children?"
"Yeah." said Wyldestyle. "Why don't we do adoption?"
"Sounds good to me." said Emmet.
Just then, Emmet had an idea.
"And you know, neither Unikitty nor Puppycorn's parents have been seen at all." said Emmet. "Do you think they could be, you know, orphans?"
"I can see why you'd think that." said Wyldestyle. "And, you might be right."
"Yeah." said Emmet. "In fact, maybe we could adopt them."
"Good idea." said Wyldestyle. "Let's do it!"
"But first, we need to ask them." said Emmet. "We shouldn't just do it out of the blue."
"Too right." said Wyldestyle. "But when should we ask them?"
"Ask who what?" asked a voice.
It was Superman.
"Oh, hey, Superman." said Emmet. "What's up?"
"Not much." said Superman. "I just came to ask if I could borrow some eggs. See, Wonder Woman's making some dark chocolate chip cookies and we're out of eggs."
"Sure." said Wyldestyle. "How many do you need?"
"Just two." said Superman.
Wyldestyle got two eggs out of the fridge and gave them to Superman.
"There you are, Superman." she said. "Two eggs."
"Thanks." said Superman.
"Though, what exactly are the cookies for?" asked Emmet.
"Don't you guys remember?" asked Superman. "We're having a party at the Hall of Justice to watch the Stackers play."
"Oh, right." said Emmet. "It's the opening game."
"Are Unikitty and Puppycorn coming?" asked Wyldestyle.
"Yes, they are." said Superman. "So's President B, the Cop family, Queen Watevra, Mayhem, and all our other friends."
"Great." said Emmet.
"Though, why did you ask?" asked Superman.
"Oh, no reason." said Emmet.
But then, he remembered.
"Actually, Superman, there is a reason." said Emmet. "Are Unikitty and Puppycorn really orphans?"
"What makes you ask that?" asked Superman.
"Well, we really haven't seen their parents at all." said Wyldestyle.
"Oh, that makes perfect sense." said Superman. "Well, see you at the party."
With that, Superman flew off, and Emmet and Wyldestyle grinned at each other.
"We could ask them at the party!" said Emmet.
"Yeah!" said Wyldestyle. "And maybe get an adoption form on the way."
"If we're to do that, we'll need to leave early." said Emmet.
"Good idea." said Wyldestyle.
Soon, it was time to go to the party, so Emmet and Wyldestyle left, and soon made it to the Bricksburg Police Station, where they filled out an adoption form for Unikitty and Puppycorn. Once that was done, they put it in a manila envelope and soon made it to the Hall of Justice just as everyone else was.
"Scribble Face Cop! Long time no see!" said Emmet.
"You too." said Scribble Face Cop.
"Hello, you must be Emmet and Wyldestyle." said Ma Cop.
"That we are." said Emmet.
"It's nice to meet you." said Pa Cop.
"Likewise." said Wyldestyle.
Just then, Superman came out with a plate of nachos.
"Hey, you guys." said Superman. "Come on in! The game's about to start!"
With that, they all went inside. Soon, the National Anthem began playing, and everyone stood up and covered their hearts. Once it was over, the game, which was the Bricksburg Stackers versus the Lego City Clutchers baseball teams, began, and eventually halftime came, and Emmet saw this as the opportunity to ask Unikitty and Puppycorn about him and his new wife adopting them.
"Hey, Unikitty? Puppycorn?" Emmet asked.
"Yeah?" Puppycorn responded as he ate some chips.
"What is it, Emmet?" Unikitty asked.
"Wyldestyle and I have a question to ask." said Emmet.
"What sort of question?" Puppycorn asked.
Emmet winked at Wyldestyle, who handed Unikitty the envelope.
"If you could open this envelope and tell us what you see inside." said Wyldestyle.
And so Unikitty did. When she did, she found the adoption form. When she did, hers and Puppycorn's eyes shot wide open.
"It's...an adoption form!" she said.
"Does that mean...?" Puppycorn asked.
"Yup." said Emmet. "I'm your new dad."
"And I'm your new mom." said Wyldestyle.
Well, at this news, Unikitty's eyes welled up with tears, as did Puppycorn's.
"Aw, come here, you two." Emmet said.
He hugged them both, and both started crying into his chest.
"Shhh." he said soothingly. "It's okay, kids, Daddy's here."
Unikitty and Puppycorn weren't the only ones in tears, as Green Lantern was sobbing hysterically just like he was at the wedding. This time, rather than slapping him and telling him to keep it together, Aquaman was hugging his fellow Justice League member.
"Aw, there, there, Hal." he said.
As for the rest of the League members, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash all were happy for Unikitty and Puppycorn, and while Superman, Wonder Woman, and Flash were cheering, Batman just smiled with pride at them, although on the inside, he was bawling his eyes out like he'd just broken up with his significant other.
"Way to go, you two." Batman said.
Eventually, the game ended with the Stackers winning, the final score being eighteen to nine. After the game, everyone went home and to bed. Over time, Emmet and Wyldestyle, with help from their friends, moved into a bigger house and wasted no time setting up two more rooms for Unikitty and Puppycorn. This took quite some time, but in the end, it was worth it, and later, when everything had been moved in, the scene transferred to show Emmet putting up a photo of himself, Wyldestyle, their newly adopted children, and all their friends with the words "One Big Happy Family" inscribed on the frame. Next to that one was a sign saying "Home Sweet Home".
"And that's it." said Emmet.
"Great." said Wyldestyle.
"Yay!" Unikitty cheered.
"What now?" Puppycorn asked.
Emmet then saw the time on the clock.
"Hey, the next episode of "Where Are My Pants?" is gonna be on soon." said Emmet. "Let's watch it together!"
"Alright!" said Wyldestyle.
With that, the whole family sat together on the couch as Emmet turned the TV on. Soon enough, the show began, and when it ended, Unikitty and Puppycorn went to bed, and as the former snuggled under her new sheets, a sense of comfort overcame her and she smiled to show it.
"This is it." she said to herself. "This is my new home and my new life."
And as the moon ascended high into the pitch black sky, I bet you a sentimental cloud drifeted over Unikitty and Puppycorn as the new children of Bricksburg's hero, Emmet Brickowski.
The End (or is it?)
