AN: 3 chapters in 2 days? I think I'll be leaving this story for about a week. I'm going to think deeper. Anyway, someone is introduced in this chapter by Margo and Antonio, but Gru doesn't want them to introduce this someone. I've said too much, onward to the story!


Almost everything was looking better for the Gru family. Agnes was home after the blast and Kendrick was well and helping repair the damage to the Gru household. Edith was finally being searched for after being missing for 8 days. Margo thought everything was going to be back to normal. While the house was being repaired by the Minions, Gru was still investigating who attacked the AVL. Shadow accompanied Gru, Lucy and Margo to a meeting with Silas.

"Mr Gru," Silas asked, "What are they doing here?" Silas pointed at Margo and Shadow.

"FYI," Shadow butted in, "I know where that Iron Patriot impersonator came from."

"Well, spit it out!"

"That exoskeleton was designed in GUN HQ. It can withstand any environment and it's bullet proof and deflects lasers. It has a star shaped heat laser embedded in the chest, and a gauntlet on the right arm that acts like a mini turret. In the palms of both hands, there are star shaped stealth bombs. Also the suit can switch the bombs for rockets that allow the suit to fly at extraordinary speed. It can self-repair and it's powered by energy of the Chaos Emeralds. The only problem is that the suit is powered by the red Chaos Emerald, which causes the suit's wearer to become six times more aggressive. Two weeks ago the suit was reported stolen from GUN."

"Who could build such monstrosity?" Lucy asked.

"The only people with the aggression and technology in GUN: Myself... and Rodger Merrywing."

"You helped my dad build the real-life Iron Patriot?!" Margo screamed into Shadow's ear.

"Yeah and I can destroy it with another Chaos Emerald, but the red emerald is the only Chaos Emerald on earth. There may be an alternative."

"When you're ready."

"The designer: Your father, Rodger."

"No one knows where my dad is."

"Well, there's only one other option: Margo, you're finally going to see your brother. Alex Merrywing, you're gonna get some unexpected visitors."

13 Hours Later

Gru, Lucy, Margo, Antonio and Shadow were preparing to go to Los Angeles. Agnes was staying behind with the Minions in the fully repaired house. Sonic Underground were going to Los Angeles as well, but they were going to protect the family since Silas thought Shadow would hurt more people than he helps.

"Take care of my daughter!" Gru shouted to Kevin. "Or else you're fired!"

The four humans and the hedgehog set off in Lucy's car. They had to drive to Los Angeles. Margo and Antonio sat in the car while Shadow was speeding right next to the car. The group drove from Chicago to Los Angeles. When they reached a place with a view of the entire city, Margo told Lucy to stop so she could see the view.

"So," Margo said. "This is where brothers go when father says the sister is dead." Margo sighed. "Let's go, mom." Margo got back in the car and the group drove into the city.

"Mr Gru," Antonio started, "Where are we staying while we're here?"

"My father owned his own mansion until he died, then he left it to me. It's not far from here." Gru drove until the group reached a huge mansion with at least 6 bedrooms.

"Seeing how you've been there for Margo when I couldn't be," Gru said to Antonio. "You can share a room. I'm trusting you."

"I know what you're talking about, dad." Margo said. "But that's up to us. Besides, I'm 16 and Antonio's 17. We're both old enough."

Gru gave up straight away, Margo would never stop. Gru wasn't angry with Antonio, he just didn't want Margo and Antonio to become what his parents had become... Teenage parents.

The family settled down into their bedrooms for the night. Gru was worried about Margo, not just with Antonio, but with Alex. Alex might still think Margo's dead. Right now, Gru was too tired to think and he instantly fell asleep beside Lucy, unaware that Margo and Antonio were still awake and had other plans...

The following morning...

Margo was awake trying to stop herself from throwing up. Antonio was awake and had gone to get Margo a glass of water. The couple were talking about last night...

"I can't believe it!" Margo said to her boyfriend. "I feel like I'm going to throw up a lung. Antonio, I took a test and..." Margo inhaled. "...I'm pregnant."

"Well, look what we have here." Shadow said as he suddenly opened the door. Margo and Antonio stood there. Antonio was fully clothed while Margo was only wearing her bra on her upper body and underwear and pants on her lower body. "Have you two been having sex?!" Margo and Antonio stood there, gave each other a scared look, and Margo nodded. "Do Gru and Lucy know?"

"We do now." Lucy said calmly. Lucy stayed calm, while Gru gave frightening look to Margo and Antonio.

"I trusted you two!" Gru shouted.

"Well, now you know what it's like to be stabbed in the back!" Margo shouted. "Remember? When me, Edith and Agnes hoped you'd look after us? You gave us back to Miss Hattie! After what she did to me, I'm surprised I can have kids!"

"Margo Gru, are you saying you're pregnant?!" Gru was close to throwing Antonio out of the bedroom window for getting his perfect little girl pregnant when she was just 16. Margo was crying uncontrollably as she nodded. Lucy had to use her lipstick taser on Gru to stop him from killing Antonio. After subduing Gru, Lucy went down to Margo's level and spoke to her.

"Margo, I have to say I'm disappointed. But if you want this child, I'll be there for you, Antonio and the baby."

"Did someone say 'Baby'?" A deep voice said at the bedroom door. Lucy turned around and Margo looked up, and there stood the person the family were looking for: Alex Merrywing.

"Daddy," A three year old boy said, "Who are these people?"

"This girl on the bed, Calvin," Alex said, "Is your aunt. My sister, Margo." Margo stood up and hugged Alex, who hugged her back.

"I only found out about you a week ago." Margo said honestly.

"I found out about you when I was 18. I never spoke to dad after that. Now, what am I meant to say about the fact that you're going to be a mother?"

"I don't know." Margo said while weeping.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll be here for you from now on. But Margo, I must know, do you want this baby?"

"Yes." Margo said.

"And does the father want the baby?"

"Yes." Antonio blurted out. Alex turned to look at Antonio.

"You are a very lucky man to be with my sister. Can your support Margo and your baby?"

"Yes. My dad left me all his money when he was sent to prison."

'If only Edith could see me now.' Margo thought to herself.

In Scourge's undisclosed hideout...

Edith was struggling to escape the bonds Scourge had tied her in. She could feel the bonds loosening and finally, she was free. Well, she wasn't free because she was still in Scourge's lair. Edith had to apply her spy and ninja skills to escape. Edith was sneaking around for hours until she finally found a way out through the vents. She soon saw light and escaped. When Edith finally made it outside, she saw a huge forest with many huts. She kept running until she bumped into what she thought was a dear.

"I'm so sorry, ma'am." Edith said. "Are you okay, miss...?"

"I'm fine." The "dear" said. "And the name's Sally, Sally Acorn. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog's girlfriend."


AN: Well, Sally Acorn's been introduced, and the huge forest with many huts is Knothole. Edith is trapped on Mobius, and Sonic Underground are trapped on Earth. How will they get back to their own planet? Who was the man who attacked the AVL? And will Gru accept that he's going to be a grandfather? Read the next chapters to find out. Though they will take some time...
