My team was waiting for me in the lobby of the Court House, almost relieved to see me getting out of the elevator. Even though I told myself I was taking the stairs. After an experience like this, I was in no mood for such a walk.

"Fox! You're okay!" Krystal said, wrapping her arms around me. "Was that Lombardi outside?" I turned my head towards Cooper, a smirk plastered on my face. "The bastard never could fly." Everyone gave a laugh, but Krystal, Wolf and Bill seemed to have laughed a little harder than anyone else.

"Come on. Let's go talk to Peppy about this. I'm sure he wants a full report about this." Adrian said, as he collected Miyu in his arms as we started to walk towards the exit, but a hand stopped me.

I followed the hand up the arm and came across a face that wasn't happy at all. The collie, as he jingled a set of keys in front of my face. "Do you mind explaining what the fuck you did to my car?"

I thought about it for a moment, for someone reason, it didn't pop into my mind immediately, but my face lit up when it finally hit me. "Oh yeah. It got into an accident." "An accident? You fucking totaled my car!" "Hey. What can I say? It got the job done." "You, son of a bitch." "Hey! Don't talk about my mom like that."

We walked out of the building, reporters on the scene immediately started to gather around us, trying to obtain information. I just pushed the cameras and mikes away. "Fox? Did you find out where the remaining Lector fleet is?" "Surprisingly, yes. I obtained it from him the moment I threw Falco off the building. I'll tell you once we talk to Peppy." "Okay."

We got into Ryan's Ford, as I relaxed in the front seat, as he took control of the driver seat. "On a victory like this. What kind of tunes do you listen to?" I turned my head towards the husky, a stern glare on my face, causing him to ignore his idea. "We are the Champions is too cliché. How about some techno?" "You got it. Ready, Steady, Go it is."

Ryan popped in his CD of Paul Oakenfold into the player, as he surfed through the tracks until he found the right one. I just closed my eyes, as we started to pull away from the hectic scene, which would most likely be here for a while.

We arrived in Peppy's office, seeing that he was talking to Slippy and Beltino, he was happy to hear what had happened. "You okay, Fox? I know it must've been a bit difficult." "Actually Peppy. It was easier than you could imagine."

Peppy just nodded, before embracing me in a hug. "I'm just glad your safe, my boy." "Thanks, old man." I said, causing him to laugh a little bit. The group started taking seats in the chairs around the office, Wolf and Fara were at the mini bar, pouring themselves some whiskey.

"So, Falco is out of the picture? What's next? Who do we go after now?" I looked over at Wolf, raising my index finger at him, hopefully he understood that I wanted a drink. "We go after the fleet." I said, as I walked over and grabbed the newly poured glass, filled with whiskey.

"You found out where its located?" Beltino said, taking a step forward in our general direction. "I obtained it from Falco, just as I threw him off the building." Peppy, Slippy and Beltino looked at each other, confused. "Oh, right. Sorry. Forgot I told you guys I'm a telepath."

Everyone just stared at me, as I ignored it and spoke. "There's a secret base on Titania, that's hidden from radar and visual sight, considering that it hides in a sandstorm. The base is about half the size of Meteo's Asteroid Field. If you can bombard the main doors, you can drop a series of Nova Bombs, which will set off a chain reaction throughout the entire complex, thus destroying the remnants of Lector's fleet."

Everyone just stared wide-eyed at me, stunned that I was able to pull out this much information in the last few second's of the dead falcon's life. "You be surprised how much the mind hides, even to the person itself. A telepath can learn many things."

Peppy, just took a seat in his chair, trying to process two things. "Alright first off. I assume they will be there now?" "Yep." "Alright. Good. Now. How long have you been a telepath?"

"Ever since my surgery after Panther." "But how did you obtain such a tremendous ability?" Slippy asked, looking very shocked at me. "There's an implant fused with my brain that's giving me this gift. Alright. Enough of this!" I yelled, causing everyone to flinch. "We have a broken up fleet to destroy."

"You're right, Fox. I'll create a fleet to bombard Titania. Thank you for this information." "You're welcome, Beltino. Now if you don't mind. I got a business to start." "Where's our payment?" "Cooper!"

I sold my apartment in West Corneria City. Was I sad? No. I was very much happy to get out of there. I walked out of the building, snowing fairly hard. "Figures. We leave Detroit's winter and we are now in Corneria's." The vixen next to me, giggled, as she leaned to kiss the left side of my face.

"You may want to be careful. You don't want your lips to stick to the metal." Krystal immediately retracted her face. "Doesn't your face get cold?" We approached Krystal's Taurus, as I popped the trunk to start loading the rest of my stuff. "You have no idea."

I turned around to look at the building, but then I noticed a group of people right by the door. They looked very familiar, as they huddled around a barrel with a fire burning inside. Krystal saw this and turned around to look at the group.

"Those are the people that were friends with that guy I shot before this whole ordeal happened." "You shot their friend?" "He tried to steal my wallet. What was I suppose to do?" I said to her, as I closed the trunk and headed over to the driver side of the car.

Krystal just looked at me, before she made her way to the passenger side of the car. "I can't believe you were that cold." "You saw how I was. Don't act so shock."

I inserted the key into the ignition, starting up the vehicle as I pulled the lever into Reverse. "So where is everyone right now?" Krystal asked, as she turned up the heat. "Well, if I recall. Adrian and Miyu are moving into their house in Homewood. Ryan and Fay are moving into their house along the beach in Ocean Heights."

"Ocean Heights is beautiful during the summer." I just chuckled as I continued. "Wolf and Fara are at Sargasso, only to pick up some stuff before they move into their penthouse apartment in Downtown Corneria. The luxury side of the city. Bill and Electra are living on the Bloodhound until they can find a place in the city. Matt and Zeria are waiting for us at our new condo, which is actually two blocks away from Wolf and Fara."

"Coincidence?" I just turned my head at her. "Yeah. It was a coincidence. You think I chose that place because Wolf was nearby?" "Maybe." I sighed and shook my head at her. "If we are going to make this marriage work. You got to stop teasing me."

"That was not a tease. This is a tease." The vixen said, with a seductive voice, gently stroking my leg, close proximity to my genitals. "Alright I know what you are going to do. Not now." She couldn't help, but laugh. "The wedding is in two days. Is everything ready?" "Of course. I did it all while you were napping."

"Shit! You're going to make me do all the work?" "What? I'm serious. You took like a two hour nap yesterday. I took care of everything. I'm serious." "Really? Wow, Fox. That's very sweet of you. Two hours?" I smiled at my future bride, as she yawned.

"You okay? You been really tired lately." "Y-yeah. I'm fine." "Yeah right. Please don't make me pull it out of your mind." "Okay. Fox? I'm pregnant." I slammed on the brakes, almost sliding into a parked car. I shifted into Park as I turned in my seat to look at her.

"You're serious, aren't you? You really are pregnant?" "I did a test a couple days ago. I'm about a month pregnant. I think it was the second time we had sex. The one where you punished me for being rude." I just stared at her, a shocked expression across my muzzle.

Krystal looked back at me, nervous and afraid. "I assume its way too early to tell if it's a boy or a girl?" "Yeah, but I know, from what I am sensing, it's twins." "Twins? I'm a father of twins?" "I know! Isn't that great?" Krystal yelled, with a lot of enthusiasm in her voice.

I opened my mouth, as if I was about to speak. I stopped in that position for at least five seconds, before I opened my door and stepped out into the snow. I closed the door behind, staring up at the sky. Krystal, just stared, a look like she would cry. She jumped at my reaction.

"YEAAAAAAAAAH!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, as I began to dance around, not caring that people were staring at me, thinking I was some sort of dumbass. When I finally stopped dancing, fifteen seconds later, I stepped back into the car.

I cleared my throat. "That's wonderful news, dear." I said, kissing her lips. Krystal, just laughed and sighed with relief. "Come on. Let's go to our new home."

We arrived into front of the Deluxe Suite Apartment Condominium. The valet, a raccoon, opened the lady's door, as I stepped out of mine. When Krystal was out of the vehicle, already beginning to grab everything out of the trunk. I quickly tossed the keys to the raccoon before I helped her.

"Say hello to your new home." "Hello home." Krystal said, waving at the building, as I just cock-eyed her.

We walked through the doors, entering the lobby, seeing the class that I always wanted. "This is what I am talking about." I said, scanning the scenery, before my focus was brought to the bar, seeing that Matt and Zeria were having a drink. By the looks of things, Zeria looked like she would throw up.

"Poor girl. Doesn't like alcohol." I said, walking towards the bar, as Krystal followed suit. "Hey buddy. Just trying Zeria here to start drinking." "You trying to kill her? Don't force her."

I helped Zeria up from her chair, and she looked very sick. "Hey dick. Since you made her nauseas. You get to carry up Krystal's stuff." I said to the collie, almost immediately afterwards. Krystal shoved her belongings into his arms.

"Come on, Zeria. I'll help you." Krystal said, helping the sick vixen out of the bar. I just glared at Matt, who was afraid to look back. "Why did you make her drink?" "I didn't think she get this nauseas." "She's like eighteen years old and spent most of those years by herself. Nothing to drink, but water and the juice from fruit. Use your head."

"Alright. Alright. I'll apologize to your daughter when we get upstairs." "She ain't my daughter." "She might as well be. You're raising her like she is your child." I tried to think of a rebuttal, but I was. And there was no way I would let her leave me just yet. I was already talking like a father.

"Come on, smart-ass. Let's get upstairs." I said, starting to walk out of the bar, with Matt following suit. We found Krystal and Zeria by the elevators, waiting for one to arrive. As soon as we got there, the doors open. Excellent timing I must say.

We opened the door to our new condo, a brightly lit place with almost anything you could ask for. I smiled, but it didn't last long when I saw Zeria run to the nearest bathroom, to our right twenty feet away. I slowly turned my head to glare at Matt.

"Alright. I said I was sorry. Now I'll go say it to her." The collie said, as he dropped off the box of stuff he was ordered to carry on the couch, as I just stared at the condo from my point of view.

"Hey Fox? When are the cars coming down here?" "I told them that when we figure out what car each of us wanted. They could bring them down."

I took a seat on the couch, dropping my stuff on the table, as Krystal plopped next to me. I looked at Matt, who was helping Zeria. I just shook my head, but at the end. I watched the two hug and make up.

"Hey you two. Get in here." I watched the two enter the living room, taking a seat on the chairs opposite of the couch I was on. "On this piece of paper is a list of cars. The ones that don't have a line through it mean that it is available for your taking. Of course, whatever is left. I get, but take your pick."

Matt grabbed the list, staring at it. "So let me see. You got the '69 Charger. Krystal has the Viper. Ryan has the GTO and Fay will get the Corvette ZR-1. Adrian will get the Saleen and Miyu will get the SLR. Wolf has the Audi R8 and Fara gets the Enzo-2. I guess I'll take the '70 Chevelle. Even though I would rather take my station wagon." He said, handing the list to Zeria, who just felt very confused.

She pondered at the list, did not know what any of these cars were. The one though, that really caught her attention was this. She pointed at the list, long enough for me to grab the sheet and know what she really wanted. "The Super Snake?" She nodded. "Cool."

I stood in front of a mirror, sweating very nervously. Today was a day like no other. For those who have been through this, I'm sure you feel the same way I do. Today was the day I get married to Krystal.

I rapidly tapped my fingers upon the table I was leaning over, as my best man stood right behind me. "You going to be okay there?" I just raised my head to look into the mirror, to stare at his reflection.

"You already went through this. How did you overcome these jitters?" He just laughed, while patting my shoulder. "And I thought you were tough. I didn't have these jitters. I knew that day would be perfect. I basically went with the flow. You got to relax, pup."

I turned around to stare Wolf in the face, before giving him a nod. "Going to be one of helluva wedding picture, that's for sure." Wolf just laughed, as he playfully slapped me across the face. "One your kids are going to love."

Someone started to knock on the door and from what my senses were telling me. It was Adrian, Ryan, Matt, and Bill. "Come in." Seeing the four dogs walking through the door.

"How you doing, man?" "As good as to be expected, Matt." "He's nervous as hell." I just glared at Wolf, who just laughed. "So? Peppy is going to be the priest and Slippy is going to give Krystal away?" "Yep. Peppy is the most religious guy I know and I know he would love this honor."

"What about Slippy? Why does he get to give Krystal away?" Ryan asked, as I just turned to face him. "Because I've known him for a long time. I want him to be the one to have that honor." "Sounds like a good enough reason for me, McCloud."

I nodded at Adrian, as Claudia walked through the door. She was smiling at me, as I waved her in. "You need to be on the altar in five minutes. Start making your finals preps." "Thanks, Claudia." "You look handsome by the way." I smiled at her, as she exited the room.

I exhaled loudly, as everyone patted me on the shoulder before exiting the room. "What really sucks about this is that either of our families are here. I really wished my mother and father were here to see me marry."

"They be proud of you, pup. Even I know that." "Thanks, Wolf. I'll meet you guys on the altar. I hope my bride is doing better than I am."

"Help me! I'm too nervous!" Krystal yelled, sitting on the couch, her breathing very fast. She was just as nervous as I was. "Calm down, Krystal. Everything will be fine." "Easy for you, Fara. You already been through this."

"Come on. It's not as bad as you think." "You know. Wolf just said the same thing to Fox a moment ago." Everyone just laughed. Krystal looked around the room, seeing her bride's maids consist of, Fara, Miyu, Fay, Electra and Zeria. She smiled at each of them.

"Thank you all for being here." "Aww, Krystal. Of course we be here for you." Fay said, embracing the cerulean vixen in a hug. "I kinda like the blue fur more. Good choice going back." "I thought it was for the best. I wish Fox went back to his brown fur. He just doesn't seem like my Foxie when he's white."

A knock bestowed upon the door, catching everyone's attention, as Zeria went over to open the door. The one who knocked was Ryan, with everyone behind him. He couldn't help, but gawk at the silver vixen.

"Wow. Those dresses look really nice." The bride's maids smiled, as they loved their dresses too. It was silver, almost matching the color of Zeria's fur. The length of the dress went just above their ankles, but it was rather flowy.

Slippy entered the room, and smiled at Krystal, who wore very gorgeous wedding gown. Of course it was white as snow. There were no straps or anything, only her chest filled the dress out, which kept it up. Plus the veil in her hair went past her shoulders, somewhat hiding her purplish, blue hair.

"You ready?" "Yes." She said with a smile. Everyone began to exit the small room, each bride's maid locking elbows with their designated escort. Fara with Wolf. Fay with Ryan. Miyu with Adrian. Electra with Bill. Zeria with Matt. In that order.

The flower girls, were actually Bill's nieces, May and Dawn. They wore dresses somewhat similar to the bride's maids, but shorter in length and were a very, pale blue. They looked a bit nervous, but were smiling.

I stood next to Peppy at the altar, in front of a great number of people. Mainly of those people were my fans over the years as I worked with StarFox. The rest were relatives of Peppy's, Bill's, even General Pepper was there.

I had my eyes closed, taking in deep breaths, to try and calm myself, as this was a nervous time. A hand landed on my shoulder, when I looked up, it was Peppy, who smiled at me.

"I'm proud of you, my boy." I landed my hand upon his. "Thanks, old man." Music started to play, which made everyone look towards the rear of the church. The flower girls slowly made their way towards the front, but after a photographer took a picture of them.

As the little huskies made their way down the aisle, dropping petals every couple feet, Wolf and Fara stood in the archway. They smiled at the photographer, before they made their way down the aisle.

Followed shortly, was Ryan and Fay. I could've sworn I saw Ryan give a wink at the camera just as the light flashed. I rolled my eyes and shook my head from annoyance.

When I looked back down the center aisle towards the archway, I saw Adrian and Miyu standing. Both staring at the camera, with a serious look on both of their faces. The two dogs had a lot of similarities. Remember the bet? Well, they were wearing the purple suits I made them get. I heard a couple chuckles from the crowd. Ryan made the best of it.

Bill and Electra made their way down the center aisle, both were looking very similar themselves. With the piercings that is. Had to admit one thing. They did look like a good couple. To my amazement, Bill was wearing the sunglasses I saw him wearing at dinner.

I felt an elbow into my ribs, when I turned to look. It was Wolf just smiling at me, as I smiled back and nodded. When I turned around, Matt and Zeria started to make their way down the aisle. I could tell that Zeria was a bit nervous, but she was staying strong.

Everyone stood in line for a few moments, watching the doors close. Until the music changed. Everyone in the audience stood up, as the doors reopened, revealing my bride and Slippy with their arms locked.

They started to make their way down the aisle, people awing at the sight of Krystal, I could help, but smile. "Damn pup." "Geez, Wolf. Don't let Fara hear that." "Yeah. You're right."

Slippy and Krystal stopped just in front of the altar, Slippy giving her a kiss on the cheek, as I could see tears building in her eyes. I walked down towards the center aisle, preparing to meet Slippy and Krystal halfway. I was going to walk her the rest of the way, since her parent's weren't here.

Krystal smiled, as she looked to see my extended hand, reaching for her. She held onto my hand, as she started to walk up to the altar, standing across from me. Everyone around just smiled as us, as we slowly turned our heads towards Peppy, who was crying himself.

"What a joyous day this day is. I'd never thought I get to marry the man, who I raised like a son and the woman, who has been very much like a daughter to me. These two have shared their moments of trouble and turmoil, but today. They are brought together….in holy matrimony."

Peppy gave a slight laugh before he continued. "Fox. I can't forget the first day I saw you. Your father and mother asked me to be your godfather. When they allowed me to hold you, I was already picturing you behind the controls of a fighter. As I watched you play around in my front lawn, you always were rolling on your side. When we fought together and I kept telling you to 'Do a barrel roll.' I always remember those days when you were a baby."

I laughed slightly, as I felt his hand on my shoulder. His stare was brought over to Krystal, as tears rolled down her cheeks. "And Krystal. I remember the first day I met you. When you were brought aboard the Great Fox. The look on Fox's face."

Everyone laughed, as I just lowered my head with embarrassment, as my cheeks blushed. "But when I saw the two of you stare into each other's eyes. I just knew it was meant to be."

"There were some things that should never have happened." I said, causing everyone to look at me. "I should never have let you go. If I didn't make you leave, I wouldn't be the way I am now."

"But Fox. If all of this had never happened. Then we wouldn't have been able to defeat Lector." "She's right, pup. And you and I wouldn't be friends and you wouldn't be surrounded by the friends you have today. Plus, Lombardi would still be living."

I turned around to look at Wolf, as I nodded at him. "Things happen for a reason, Fox. You can't change the past, but you can accept the present and make a future out of it. You would do anything for this vixen that stands be fore you today, right?"

I looked into the eyes of the cerulean vixen, as I grabbed onto both of her hands, grasping rather firmly. "I would die for her." Krystal smiled, as she held my hands, about the same amount of pressure mine were. "The only regret I guess I have now is not doing this sooner."

"Well, let's get this thing finished then. I'm starving." "Cooper!" People laughed, as Ryan hid behind Wolf and Adrian. I just shook my head. "Go ahead, Peppy."

"Oh. Can I talk again?" Everyone laughed, as I smiled and nodded my head. "Jackson. If you please come forth with the rings." Peppy said, calling over his grandson, the son of his daughter Lucy.

The young hare, about six years of age, made his way up the stairs, and stood next to Peppy, with a pillow with two rings on them. One was made of gold, with a diamond on it. It was the ring I gave her back when we were sitting in the Viper. The other ring, was made of platinum. No stone or anything. Just a solid, platinum band.

Peppy first grabbed the diamond ring, holding it between his index finger and thumb. "Fox. I want you to take this ring and repeat after me." I nodded, as Peppy continued.

"I, Fox." "I, Fox." "Take Krystal to be my wife." "Take Krystal to be my wife." "To love and to cherish." "To love and to cherish." "In sickness and in health." "In sickness and in health." "For better or for worse." "For better or for worse." "Till death do you part." "Till death do you part." "You may place the ring on her finger." "You may place the ring on her finger."

As everyone laughed at my joke, I held Krystal's hand, sliding the ring onto her ring finger of her left hand. The three of us, Peppy, Krystal and I, seemed to have been hypnotized by the diamond, as it glistened underneath the lights of the church.

Peppy looked back at his grandson, as he continued to stand next to him, holding the pillow at about his shoulder height. Peppy reached down, grabbing the other ring between his thumb and index finger. "Krystal. I want you to take this ring and repeat after me." She nodded in response, as she reached for the ring.

"I, Krystal." "I, Krystal." "Take Fox to be my husband." "Take Fox to be my husband." "To love and to cherish." "To love and to cherish." "In sickness and in health." "In sickness and in health." "For better or for worse." "For better or for worse." "Till death do you part." "Till death do you part." "You may place the ring on his finger."

It was her time to obey, as she raised my hand and placed the ring on my ring finger of my left hand. Our eyes locked, tears now starting to build in my right eye, as Krystal's eyes were red from the tears she was shedding.

We looked back at Peppy, who was smiling at us. "The rings you just bestowed upon each other was more than just a tradition at every wedding. It unites two people that love each other very much, in holy matrimony. I am happy to be the one that was able to unite you two."

"You did a great job, Peppy." I said, which caused everyone to laugh a little, as Peppy just smiled at me. "Fox. You may kiss the bride."

I turned to look at my bride, as her beautiful cerulean eyes stared at my emerald eyes. I leaned forward, as did her, as we pressed our lips against one another's. Sharing our first kiss as husband and wife.

I could feel her tongue enter my mouth slightly, as I did the same by meeting my tongue halfway. When we pulled away, it was as if, all the weight, the turmoil, the problems that I have been holding onto for many years. Was just lifted off my shoulders.

"Thank you, you two. For letting me be apart of this. With this act, I now pronounce you. Mr. and Mrs. Fox McCloud." Everyone applauded as I wrapped my arm around my wife, as we started making our way down the aisle.

"Whoooo! You the man, Fox!" Ryan yelled, as he walked across the altar to embrace Fay. "Have a good future, pup." Wolf said, as he did the same with Fara. Adrian and Miyu remained silent, but had a smile on their faces as we walked down the aisle. Bill and Electra were whistling very loud, causing Matt and Zeria to cover their ears. "I don't know about you, Zeria, but I need a drink."

She shot a look at him, as she slowly walked away from him. "Oh come on. You're still not sore about that, are you?" "N-no. D-dri-drink."

Everyone began to seat at the reception location. It was a golf course clubhouse outside of the downtown area. Cog Hill Golf Course. (I don't own the course. It is located in Lemont, Illinois. Very nice golf course by the way. And remember, we are still on Corneria, but I couldn't think of any names so I choice the one I'm familiar with.)

The guests were socializing amongst themselves, waiting for the main crowd to arrive. As everyone waited outside the clubhouse, as they had been waiting for about thirty minutes now, started to get worried.

"How long did it take us to get here?" "Ten minutes, I think?" Matt said, answering Fay's question. "I don't think it should take them this long. What do I know though?" Wolf said, as he leaned up against a column.

Ryan by this time, was already drinking. Adrian kept shooting him glares, as he couldn't wait for the married couple to arrive. "Come on. Open bar. I have to take advantage of it."

"You could've waited for Fox and Krystal to arrive, you dill-hole." Fara said, as she rested her body on Wolf's, who was still leaning up against the column. "By the way. You guys look ridiculous in those purple suits. Why did you wear them?"

"We lost a bet." Adrian said, looking at Ryan, who was somewhat hiding his face, then turned his face to look at Zeria, who was standing rather proudly. "Yeah. A couple of veterans lost to a barely legal." Wolf said, as he laughed a little.

"Ah, shut it, O'Donnell." Wolf was about to confront Adrian, but a roar of an engine sounded in the not too far distance. Everyone looked down the driveway and saw a 1969 Dodge Charger driving up the driveway.

The tires slid to a slid to a stop in the snow, exactly in front of the door. "Nice ride, pup." "Thanks, Fara. I always thought so. Drives nice too." I said, walking around the car, opening the door for my bride.

She stepped out of the door, shivering as a cold breeze ran across the front patio. "Maybe we should take the women inside?" The arctic wolf said, as he felt Miyu shiver in his arms. "I would agree. They aren't wearing anything that warm." I agreed, as I wrapped my arm around Krystal.

The photographers tried to stop us so they could take a photo outside, but I told them that it would have to be inside. "Oh come on! The snow would make a beautiful background." "I said no!"

The photographers backed away, afraid to get me pissed. We walked through the doors, the girls already starting to feel warm. Ahead of us, was the counter to register you for golf. A couple of people were talking, having a drink and getting well acquainted with one another.

As we approached them, they turned to stare at us and started clapping as we approached. The people inside the dining room, stared in confusion until they saw us round the corner. Everyone, about two hundred people, started clapping and cheering at Krystal and I.

The dining room was set to have tables to be able to sit about twelve people. In the center on the far side of the room, was a giant table, meant to fit the married couple, the ushers, the bride's maids, Peppy, Slippy and his wife Amanda, and Beltino.

I smiled at everyone, but one caught my attention. She was sitting over at the bar, facing away from everyone. Even though she was wearing a black dress that cover most of her fur. It couldn't hide her neck and up. The pink fur gave it away.

"I'll be right back, hun." I said, kissing Krystal on the lips, but she had no intention of not saying hello. She followed me, which I did not expect.

I thanked everyone along the way, but came to a stop in front of the bar, behind the person sitting there. "Thank you, Katt. For being here." She jumped a bit, as she was not expecting anyone to talk to her.

She turned around, and it looked like she had been crying a little. She put on a fake smile though, but I knew what was eating at her. "Falco betrayed us all, Katt. Don't blame yourself."

"I'm sorry, Fox, but I loved him and he goes off and does shit like this. I feel like a fool for ever being with him. What's worse is that I followed him, as he stabbed you in the back when he bought the Great Fox. I feel like I don't deserve to be here."

"But I'm glad you are, Katt." Krystal chimed in, stepping out from behind me. "You are a much better person than you realize. Everyone makes mistakes. You've realized your's and you'll move on."

"Falco was never a person you can really like anyway because of his nature. He was a fool. I considered you more like family than he ever would have." Katt, tears still building in her eyes, scanned back and forth between us. "Really?"

Krystal stepped forward, embracing Katt in a hug, as she wrapped her arms around the blue vixen. "We always thought you had a kind nature. You are a great friend." "But I haven't been around at all since StarFox disbanded?"

"I admit, I had a grudge when I saw you fly with Falco, after all the help you helped me with. During the war, or telling me about Falco and his position with Lector. I knew that your actions weren't personal against me. You were just following Falco. I can't stay mad at you for that." I said, hugging the crying pink furred feline. "Thank you, Fox."

"It be an honor if you joined us at our table." Krystal said, smiling as she rested her hand on Katt's shoulder. "If you think you can spare another spot?" "I think we can manage." Katt smiled, as she turned to look at me. "By the way, Fox. You look good in white. I wish I wasn't looking at so much metal though." "Yeah. I know. I don't feel me anymore."

The three of us started walking over to our table, as Ryan was telling a story about our mission against Lector. Everyone who didn't partake in that mission, including Bill, Electra, Peppy, Slippy, Amanda, Beltino, Lucy and her child.

"So anyway. When we came out of the NOS jump, everyone was unconscious as the Matchitehew was slowly drifting towards the planet, Zar Mega. I was the first to wake up, and the ship was about at least one minute away from entering the atmosphere. The first thing that came to mind was how can I get the ship to turn?"

"You didn't ask yourself that. You asked yourself how can I get Fox to turn the ship?" I interrupted, causing everyone to look up at us. Wolf seemed to have a glare on his face, causing Katt to hide behind me. I took notice of this.

"Wolf. If I can forgive for being with that prick, Falco….." I turned, seeing Jackson standing next to Lucy. "Sorry, Lucy." She smiled, as I turned back towards Wolf. "I'm sure you can find it in your heart to do the same. I'm sure all of you can. She regrets for ever meeting him. She's realized her mistakes. Let them be dropped."

Everyone looked around, Wolf standing up from the table, and walked over to Katt. She glared at her, as he stopped about two feet away from her. "Well. We all do stupid things. I guess I can let this slide."

"Thanks, Wolf." She said, embracing the wolf in a hug. He did the same, only just his right arm around her. They let go and Wolf made his way back to his seat between Fara and what would be Krystal's seat.

"So anyway. Yeah. I woke up Fox, after he was thrown across the bridge and crashed into the view screen. It took the entire trip to the surface, minus three hundred feet, for the ship to make its ascent back into space. Behind the ship, as it was shooting off its afterburners, was a black line of destruction. It was unbelievable. It was like a solid green carpet, with a black line, as straight as the table."

"When did this occur again?" Lucy asked, as she was very fascinated by the story. "Right after we were discovered by Marcos and Lector, but right before we found Zeria." "How did you come across her?" Peppy asked, leaning a bit forward in his chair.

"Four days after leaving Zar Mega. We came across a planet that had a source of fuel for our engines and weapons. I went down there for observations. When I went to go get a drink of water out of a stream, a tadpole like creature was swimming around in my hands, and bit me. It must've shot some venom or something in me, which caused me to lose consciousness. I don't know where she was at the time, but she found me. Revived me and cured me."

Everyone turned towards her, as she nodded in response. "She's been alone for most of her life. Didn't know how to talk until I started to teach her. I couldn't just leave her on that planet, alone with nobody around. I had to take her with me. It's in my nature to help others."

"Yeah, but it wasn't your nature when you were Krieger." Adrian said, causing a couple of laughs. "You were Krieger Aurelius? The famous bounty hunter?" I turned to look at Katt, who was now sitting next to Matt.

"Hardly famous. I was just a well-skilled bounty hunter with a reputation." "Good reputation I must say." "What is this Zar Mega anyway?" Slippy asked, trying to get into the conversation.

"It's a planet that hosted the Terran, Zerg, Protoss battle back many years ago. When we got there, it was basically lifeless. Everyone must've fled the planet. The only thing that remained was an orbital platform that was geo-synchronize orbit around the planet."

"I remember reading about that war. It was the first time the Zergs and Terrans found along side each other because they both knew that they would've been defeated by the Protoss. I think their leaders were Jeff Meiners, a Terran general. And, he was a creature called a Lurker, but he just called himself, Lurker."

"Wait a minute." Beltino said, interrupting the conversation. "Wasn't Jeff Meiners the commanding officer of the human ship, Enterprise?" "Something we should learn about this fellow, but not now. It's my wedding day."

"I'll drink to that." Ryan said, chugging the last of his Jager. The bartender brought us a tray, mainly carrying champagne, but I asked for a beer. Everyone clanged our glasses, before we all drank.

I looked around the clubhouse, seeing everyone was having a good time. Getting to meet new people and just being here for witnessing the marriage between Lylat's two greatest heroes of my famous team.

"I probably should've planned this on a warmer day." "I think that would've been a good idea, Fox." Slippy said, who had no fur, but just his skin. Everyone else, except for Beltino and Amanda, were furred animals.

"I don't know, Foxy. I like the idea of a wedding in the snow. Makes it more picturesque." "I agree with Krystal. This is lovely." Miyu said, as she took a sip from her champagne. "You were shivering before we came inside though." "Shut up, Adrian." The lynx said, with a smile on her face. As she leaned forward to plant a kiss on his lips.

"When do they start serving the food?" Wolf said, as he slouched in his chair. "Umm. I don't know. When do they? I'm hungry and what are they serving?" I asked, as I turned to look at Krystal, hoping she would know.

"What you looking at me for? You made the arrangements." "Oh yeah. Well, then I don't know." "Don't tell me you forgot to tell them what food they should serve?" I know I didn't forget, but I completely forgot what I said they should serve. The waitress came up to our table.

"Dinner is ready." "I guess we'll find out shortly." I said, standing up and held out my hand to help Krystal out of her chair. We walked around the table, heading for the ruin where, apparently a buffet was set up.

By the looks of it, grilled chicken, prime-rib, garlic mashed potatoes, vegetables, assortments of stuff. I was glad I chose something good.

"Get out of my way. Me first." Ryan said, walking past everyone, only to be stopped by someone grabbing the back of his collar. "Have you ever been to a wedding before, you moron? Newly weds first." I said, pulling his collar and having him thrown in the back of the line.

Everyone was enjoying their meals, it was absolutely delicious. I scanned the clubhouse once again and saw something I wouldn't expect. Matt look like he was trying to flirt a little with Katt. I could see that she was blushing a little.

"You notice anything about Katt?" Krystal looked up at me, then discretely over at Katt, who was smiling and staring at Matt, who was pretty much doing the same. "Those two in love or something?" "I 'm not sure, but it seems that she's gotten over Falco's death pretty quickly. Good for her."

Krystal smiled at me, as she continued to eat her meal. "So, Fox? Krystal? Where are you two going on your honeymoon?" Peppy asked, which caused Krystal and I to look at each other.

"I'm afraid we aren't going on one. When this is over, we are getting ready to start our new business." "What? Another mercenary group?" Beltino asked, trying to get in on the conversation. "Bounty hunting."

"What do you plan to call the business?" "Styx Omega. That's the name of our team." "Sounds tough. That your idea?" I just nodded my head, as I took the last bite of my prime rib.

"Will the bride and groom please come up to the dance floor please?" A voice called, the voice belonging to the DJ. "Oh God. Please don't tell me it's time for the dance?" "Yes! Let's go." Krystal said, standing up quickly and dragging me along as she ran towards the dance floor.

I didn't want to do this. This is the one thing I really regretted most about this wedding. I didn't want to dance because I was a terrible dancer. I could hear stifled laughing in the background as I was dragged along behind Krystal.

"Oh boy! Here they come! Come on, Mr. McCloud. Dancing isn't that bad." "Easy for you. You can probably dance." People laughed, as we came to a stop in front of the DJ booth.

"So what would you like to dance to?" Krystal looked confused. She hadn't thought the dance she wanted to dance to. To her surprise, I pulled out a CD out of my pocket. "Play the number five track on this CD." I said, tossing him the disc.

The DJ grabbed it and stared at the front. "Yanni?" He turned the box around and looked at the back, reading the number five track. "After the Sunrise?" "Sound good?" "I don't know. Never listened to this song. Let's see how it is. I'm sure it's classical." "New Age. Now play it so we can get this over with."

The DJ laughed, along with everyone else, as he opened the CD tray and placed the disc inside. "Alright everyone. Let's give a round of applause for the newly weds, first dance….as husband and wife. This is After the Sunrise by Yanni. Enjoy."

I closed the tray and searched through the tracks, stopping on number five. It took a few moments for the CD player to read, before finally music started to play.

I grasped onto Krystal's waist, as she wrapped her arms around my neck. We started to sway and danced in the classic waltz style dance. People stared at the couple, while listening closely to the music. It wasn't anything anyone had listened to before. Well, some have heard of and listened to Yanni.

Everyone at my table stood in the back of the crowd, watching us dance in the center of the dance floor. They could see a smile on Krystal's face, but they think it was laughing as I was nervous, dancing in front of all these people.

The room was silent except for the music playing in the background, but every though I was hating this. I couldn't be any happier, knowing I was married to the woman of my dreams. I couldn't ask for anything else….well, except that this song would be over.

All eyes were focused on us, as the song started to wind to a close, as our dancing started to slow as well. Until finally, I gave Krystal a quick twirl, before I dipped her, holding her at her waist, as her upper body was parallel with the floor. She just smiled and stared into my eyes, as I did the same, before leaning forward to kiss her lips. With that, the music came to a stop. All we heard, was the clapping of the people that had just witnessed this moment.

I raised her back up so now that she was standing upright. I could see a tear in her eye, as I could sense the joy and happiness in her. I know she was feeling the same with me.

"Alright! There you have it! The first dance as a newly wedded couple. Now head over to the wedding cake. Come on. Let's keep this going." The DJ said, causing everyone to cheer with excitement. "Alright. Only for you." Krystal said, as she walked parallel with me towards the cake.

We held each other's hand, as we used the knife to cut the cake. It was a good size, as we lifted the cake onto a plate. I held up the plate in front of us, about to rip a piece off for Krystal to eat, but something stopped this procedure.

Krystal, deciding that it would be very funny, lifted the plate into my face, the cake smearing all over my face. I held the plate there for a while, laughing behind it, as well as everyone else.

I grabbed a chunk of the cake and quickly shoved it into Krystal's face. I lowered the plate, cake all over my face, as well as hers. We shared as laugh, as we licked each other's face clean, at the same time, enjoying the cake. Angel food.

"All the bills paid off?" "Yep. Last one." Adrian said, as he tossed the last bill away from him towards the center of the table. I relaxed, knowing that everything I had worked for to get this business running, was now done.

I slouched in my chair, just so happy that, after nine months of work and paying off the bills, Styx Omega was officially paid off. I picked up my beer, as I took a sip, as if this was my victory.

"Well gentlemen. We are done. The house is paid off. The office is paid off. The cars. Here's to a bright future for Styx Omega." I said, raising my bottle, followed by everyone.

"So, when are we going to start hunting?" Ryan said, after he chugged his Jager. "After the kids are born. Krystal should be due soon, but who knows when Miyu will have hers. Probably not for a couple more weeks."

"Yeah. Miyu is three weeks pregnant behind Krystal. So we are good for a while, but no way she would want to start hunting in her condition. I'm sure Fay is the same. Fara. She just got pregnant again recently, right Wolf?" Adrian asked, looking over at the timber wolf.

"Yep. She's about two weeks pregnant, but I still got to make sure Jericho is okay. He was born only a couple months ago." "A striking image of his father, except he has a bit of brown to him."

"Shut up, Adrian. It's only around his eyes." "Come on, Wolf. It's a unique feature. Ladies will love it when he's a teenager." Bill said, walking into the room with Electra at her side.

"What do you know? The last of the pregnant women. How you feeling, Mrs. Grey?" "I'm good, Mr. Cooper. Just my baby is being a little feisty today. Who knew a five month fetus kicked so much?" "Apparently not you." Adrian said, trying to make a joke.

Bill glared at him, "Shut up, smartass." We all just laughed, as our wives started to enter the room. I looked up and saw my wife approach me, with a very large stomach. "Twins doing good?" "Yeah. I think they like each other. They never seem to wanna fight each other. Or at least kick."

"Good. No sibling rivalry." I laughed, as I took another sip of my beer. "Shit. I just remember. We are suppose to go meet Peppy so we can register ourselves. We all need to go." Matt said, getting out of his chair.

"Thank God. I don't want to be cooked up in this house any longer. Not much happens these days. Well, now that the bills are paid. Let's go." I said, getting out of my chair, along with everyone else.

Everyone headed for the front door, at the same time, looking around the giant rooms of our new mansion. We had bought it, just for this reason. Everyone that calls themselves a Styx Omega, will be close by.

Zeria, who was in front of us, opened the door first, letting in a warm breeze that blew through the house. "I'm glad we found this place and registering ourselves now. I may be a arctic wolf, but I hate winter."

"I may be a timber, but so do I." "I'm so glad you two get along now." I said to the two wolves, as they just growled at me. "Whenever you guys are ready, I'll take on both of you." I said, flexing my hands, in case they decided to fight me right now. They did not charge me.

"Are we all getting in the Excursion?" "No. Not a chance we all can fit in there. Nor do we want to. Ryan will drive it though, while I'll take the Escalade. Adrian will take his Ram and Bill will drive the Yukon."

"I can't believe we are taking four vehicles, just to go see Peppy." "Well, Strong. We got to start doing things like we are going to be doing them. When are we on Corneria, in a certain distance, we will be driving the trucks."

"Yeah, Matt. Besides, we get to share the back seat." That caught Matt's attention, as he quickly turned his head towards Katt. "Matt and Katt. Man. Catchy." Wolf said, with a bit of sarcasm.

"Alright! Let's go. I want to get registered before the baby comes, you bastards!" Krystal said, pushing her way towards the Escalade. I just closed my eyes, and shook my head. "I can't wait till they are born. She'll go back to normal." "I heard that!"

"Well, McCloud. You're dead now." "Shut up, Adrian and let's go." "Yes, ma'am." Adrian said, picking up speed after getting bossed around from his wife.

We all chuckled, as we went to our designated vehicles. I hopped in the chair behind the steering wheel, as it was a guarantee that I would be driving. People next to me were Krystal, Wolf and Fara, who had Jericho is her arms.

Ryan started the engine of his Ford, looking to his right to see Fay, behind him was Matt with Katt next to him.

Adrian didn't have to worry about anyone behind him because his truck had a tight back seat so no one bothered to share his truck with him, besides Miyu, who sat in the passenger seat.

Bill started following the vehicles, with Electra to his right, and only Zeria in the back seat. Even though, she's been with the group for close to a year now. She still didn't feel like talking very much. She just stared out the window, particularly at the flowers in the center garden of the driveway.

"So these are our work vehicles?" "Yeap. Nice aren't they?" "This chair does relax my back quite a bit." "Am I ever going to drive, pup?" "Nope." "You're mean, Fox. After all the nice things Wolf has done for you."

"Umm. Fara? He tried killing me for a good portion of my life." "They were tough times, pup. I had to make a living." I was about to make a rebuttal, but Krystal placed a hand upon mine. I looked at her, as she shook her head.

"I'll admit one thing though. Lovely area for a house." Fara said, as she turned around to look at the house, with all the surroundings. Trees, flowers, long grass. It was basically in the middle of nowhere, but only about twenty minutes outside of Corneria City.

We pulled up to the gate, surrounding the military base. A guard stepped forward, a rifle in his heads. "Hi. Fox McCloud. Here to see General Hare." I said, holding up my ID, the guard took a moment to look at it.

"Of course, Mr. McCloud. Please drive through. I'll notify his office." "Thanks." I said, waiting for the gate to open, before I remembered something. "I'm sure you already know, but these vehicles behind me are with me."

The guard nodded, as he scanned all the vehicles. He remembered our faces. "You're the Styx Omega team right?" I nodded my head. "Admire your work sir. Probably more than your work with StarFox."

I smiled at him, as I stared straight forward, seeing that the gate was open. "Me too." I drove the truck past the gate, with the other vehicles behind me. Guard nodded at everyone as they past, before he closed the gate after Bill's SUV went by.

We pulled up in front of the door of the main building of the base. I scanned everywhere and I saw troops marching in formation, fighters flying through the air on patrol, or guards trying to keep the base at peace.

"Good to know they are maintaining my ship, pretty damn well." Ryan said, as he got out of his truck, looking at mechanics performing checks on his Wolfen. In the distance, I could see the Zlogon Je.

"How's Natasha doing?" Fay asked, as she walked parallel with Ryan, as they approached me from behind. I just chuckled a little. "She's still in dry docks. They don't think she'll be worthy of space flight anytime soon. Electrical, structural, all that shit was fucked up during the last mission. She'll be done before the Allmachtiger, that's for sure."

"Hurry up!" Krystal yelled, as she was already climbing the stairs up to the main doors. We all flinched at her yelling, as he quickly made haste after her. The guards saluted us as we approached the doors.

After a series of minutes, we arrived at Peppy's reception area, where Claudia sat behind her desk, typing away at her computer. She was excited to see my face.

"Hey Fox. Good to see you." "Like-wise. Is Peppy here?" "He sure is. Let me see if he's ready to see you." Claudia said, as she picked up the phone to call Peppy's office.

I scanned around the office, as I saw that Wolf was looking at a magazine, about guns. He flipped the pages until he got to the machine guns, stopping on a new plasma rifle.

"Hey Adrian. Look at this. An automatic rifle, with multiple settings. It can make itself a rifle with the range of one, but the power of a shotgun. Can fire six rounds in three seconds. It can also come with a scope that can zoom one hundred fifty times." "Impressive. Be perfect for you."

"Guys. We'll discuss weaponry when are finished with this shit. Peppy can see us now." I said, as I started to walk towards the door, as everyone followed suit.

"Fox! Hello! I see you brought everyone here. Glad you all could make it." "Thanks, Peppy for seeing us. We wanted to get this done before the babies were born." "Oh yes. How's Krystal, Fay, all of them doing?"

"We're good, Peppy. Thanks for asking. I just can't wait until they are out of my stomach." "Well, twins are a hand-full, but twice the love." "Yeah." "Anyway. I'm glad you came because I was going to be busy for the next few days. Anyway, what I want you to do is register yourself on this computer. Name, address. All that shit. Then sign your name in the box at the very bottom. Use this electronic pen."

"Alright. I guess I'll go first. Go by call-signs. Hopefully you all remember your number?" "Yeah yeah. Go." I shook my head at Wolf, as I walked around the desk and began to type in my information.

"Well, Katt was the last member. We are good to go now. Thanks, Peppy." "My pleasure, Fox. I look forward to working with you again." I shook my old friend's hand, as something caught my attention. A gasp.

I turned around and saw that Krystal was bent over slightly, her breathing was a bit shorter than it should, but she was waving off Zeria's help, telling her that she was fine. Though, a another shot of pain made her collapse into a chair.

"Krystal! You okay?" "I'm fine. I'm fine, Foxie. Just the twins kicking that's all. AHHH!" She said, leaning back into her chair, as the pain was overwhelming her now. "Fuck you are. You're going into labor!" Katt said, as she kneeled next to the blue vixen.

"Go fuck yourself! I'm fine!" "She's in labor." "Son of a bitch! We won't make it to the hospital." "Go down to the base's infirmary. The doctors will take care of her. I'll show you the way." Peppy said, as he led the way, while Zeria and I carried Krystal.

"I fucking hate you, Fox! I fucking hate you for doing this to me!" "Fara said the same thing to me. Don't worry. She's not meaning it." "The fuck I'm not! I really hate you, Fox McCloud!" "She said that too, pup."

I kept shooting glances back and forth between Krystal and Wolf, as we followed Peppy towards the elevator. "Don't worry, Fox. Vivian went through the same thing when she gave birth to Lucy. Thought I never hear the end of it."

"Alright. Thanks, Peppy, but please just get us to the infirmary so we can get my kids born." I said, as we all crowded ourselves into the elevator. Krystal, yelling in pain, right into my ears, was squeezing my hand as hard as she could. Zeria was in pain, I felt no pain as my hand was metal.

We arrived on the floor where the infirmary was located, people who saw us almost running down the halls, got out of our way very quickly. "Oh shit! My water just broke!"

"God damnit. How much longer, Peppy?" "We're here!" Peppy said, quickly opening the door, as the doctors and nurses inside looked shocked to see Krystal in pain. "Take her to a room. I don't care. Just get these babies born!" I yelled at the nearest doctor, as he brought a wheel chair almost immediately.

We stopped at room 137, it was vacant and large enough for Krystal to give birth. Everyone waited in the waiting room, while I stood next to Krystal, who continued to scream and squeeze my hand to try to relieve the pain.

"Alright, Mrs. McCloud. Please start pushing." She groaned in pain, as she tried her best, but she was having difficulty. "Push!" She tried again, but same results. "I said, push!" "I am pushing, you fucker!"

"Krys. Calm down!" "Don't you fucking tell me to calm down! This is all your fucking fault, you asshole!" "Just push already!" "ALRIGHT!" She yelled in my face, as she did her best to push as hard a she could. "I have one!"

The doctor brought the baby out into the real world, hearing it crying made Krystal and I relax a bit. "It's a boy." "Marcus." She said, trying to catch her breath, but immediately felt pain as her second delivery began.

"Push. Hard." She yelled in pain, as she used every bit of strength in her, to push out the second baby. "One more time." "You guys suck at this!" "I got it!" I sighed with relief, as I could feel Krystal's grip starting to loosen, as I could see the relief and joy in her face.

"It's a girl." I looked at her, as she looked up at me. "Penelope." I kissed her head, as a doctor and nurse brought our children to us. Marcus was given to Krystal as I held Penelope.

Both had blue fur, but Marcus definitely looked like me, Penelope looked like her mother. She had deep blue eyes, darker than Krystal's. Marcus had mismatched eyes. Having one of my emerald eyes, on the right side, like me. Blue, just like Krystal's, on the left side. As far as I could tell, ten fingers, ten toes. Completely healthy.

"I love you." I said, kissing Krystal on her forehead. "I love you too." She said, raising her head to give me a kiss on my lips.

I looked down at Penelope, as she smiled and giggled at me. "At least I'm glad that Penelope doesn't find me scary. Marcus doesn't seemed bothered either." "You're not scary at all, sweety."

I just chuckled and shook my head, as I leaned forward to kiss Penelope on her forehead. The doctors had left and two people made their way in. Zeria and Peppy. The godparents. I looked up, seeing smiles on their faces.

"They're healthy. That's all I asked for." I gave Peppy Penelope, as he held her in his arms. Zeria was over by Krystal, as she stared at Marcus, who had fallen asleep. "What you think, Zeria?"

Zeria looked at Krystal, then back down at Marcus, a smile on her face. "Beautiful." I walked over to the door, telling everyone they could come in, but make sure they were quiet.

Ryan and Fay were the first to enter, seeing Marcus almost immediately, before they found Peppy holding Penelope.

"Got to say, Fox. This kid over here looks just like you." "Guys. This is Penelope and that's Marcus." A nurse came in, holding a clipboard and smiled as she saw the babies.

"Mr. and Mrs. McCloud. Your children are lovely." "Thank you." Krystal said, as she was getting tired. Child birth took a lot out of her. "I just need their full names."

Krystal looked at me, as I stared at them with a little confusion. First names was done, but middle. I didn't know. "Marcus Aurelius McCloud." I shot a look over at Adrian, who had come up with the idea.

"That actually works pretty damn good. For Penelope. How about….Victoria?" "I like Victoria. Penelope Victoria McCloud." The nurse smiled, as she wrote down the names and left the room.

Fara had walked over to Krystal, with Jericho in her arms. Jericho was staring at Marcus. "Say hello to your new cousin." He just giggled and gave somewhat of a wave. I walked over to Krystal and wrapped my arm around her. This moment couldn't be ruined.

Four months have passed since Marcus and Penelope's birth and everyone else had given birth too. Ryan and Fay were the parents of a healthy girl, Kristy Jennifer Cooper. Adrian and Miyu gave birth to a son, Brandon Andrew Wolf. Bill and Electra gave birth to a boy, Jason William Grey.

Matt and Katt haven't tried yet, they were planning to wait for a while. Zeria was the only one who still hadn't found anyone, nor was pregnant yet. She was happy with that. Fara still had a few months to go with her daughter. Which Wolf and Fara plan on naming her, Lena.

The guys all sat out on the porch, just as the day was starting to warm up for the upcoming spring. We all enjoyed our beverages, just enjoying the day. "So, Matt? When you going to marry Katt?"

"What? I been only dating her for a few months. Give me a break. Didn't realize you want another nephew or niece." "Oh shut up. I'm happy with what I have. Ain't that right, Marcus?" Marcus just looked up, placing his hand on my face, feeling the metal.

"See? He agrees with me." "He is cute, pup. Not as cute as Jericho though." "You guys may not have sibling rivalries, but you sure still have rivalries against each other, though." Ryan said, taking a sip out of his coffee.

"Shut up, Cooper." "Man. You been telling me to shut up and all that shit since we met. When are you gonna stop treating me like this and like your partner and friend?" "Shut up." "Alright."

We all laughed, but something stopped the moment. A vibration. In the middle of the table, was my cell phone. I looked at it and the caller ID said Peppy. I looked at everyone, as I could see them enlighten.

I nodded my head as I picked up the phone, making sure Marcus wouldn't slip out of my grasp. I opened it and brought it to my ear. "McCloud." "Fox? Peppy if you couldn't already tell. We need Styx Omega's help. You interested?" I smiled, as everyone started to get out of their chair. "We're listening."
