Chapter 4

"Our baby girl." Peyton said tearfully. Kraglin held his pregnant girlfriend close. He said to her "I can't wait to meet her soon." "I love you a lot." They both said together. He told her "I'm going to talk to your dad for a minute." He left their room and found Quill sitting in his room. He knocked on his door. "Captain I would like to ask you for Peyton's hand in marriage." He said to him nervously. Quill answered back "You have my permission to marry my daughter." Kraglin said, "Great! Can you come with me to pick out the perfect ring for her?" "I certainly can." He told him. They went to a jewelry store on earth and Kraglin picked out the perfect ring for Peyton. When he was ready he took Peyton on a romantic dinner and they took a long walk on the beach. "Peyton, I know you're the mother of my child and I love you dearly. Will you marry me?" Peyton was so surprised she was almost crying. "Yes! The answer is yes!" Kraglin put the ring on her finger and kissed her. They got back to the ship and they announced their engagement. Quill was the first to congratulate them and he knew Kraglin was going to propose to her anyway. "I'm so happy for you Star-Princess." "Thanks daddy." She hugged him. Quill told Kraglin he better treat Peyton right or he will hunt him down. Kraglin promised Quill he'd take care of Peyton and treat her right. "I can't wait to marry you my Xandarian." Kraglin said back "I can't wait to marry you either" "Our baby is going to be ½ Terran and ¾ Xandarian" She told him. He smiled even more. "Hey baby girl it's daddy. I'll protect you from everything. Me and mommy can't wait to meet you. We love you." Peyton smiled. She said "Kraglin honey, I need you with me when the baby comes. I can't go through the labor and delivery all by myself." He held her. "Beautiful, I promise I'll be with you through it all. I'll even be there when she's being born into the world." "Thanks baby." She told him as she squeezed his hand tightly. He squirmed a little and said, "Beautiful you're grip is a little tight." "Sorry baby." She said blushing. "It's ok"
