Two months had passed since the war with Andross had begun. The Star Fox team had gone out on several missions, saving people from Andross's terrorists, and fighting off enemies, however there had been no sign of Andross or Wolf at all. The Cornerian Army tried to look in the cave that Fox said he found them in, but when they looked, they found that it was abandoned.
Present day on the Great Fox, Fox and Falco were arguing about the whole ordeal. Slippy was watching his favorite shows, and Krystal and Peppy were asleep upstairs.
"Why haven't those cowards Andross and Wolf shown themselves yet?" Falco yelled. "Falco, everyone and there mother is looking for Andross and Wolf right now, we can't do anything unless we find them!" Fox replied loudly. "Guys can you shut up?" "I'm trying to watch super fighting friends!" Slippy yelled. Falco turned around and glared at Slippy. "You know if you stopped watching those stupid cartoons of yours and started doing some actual work!" "Shut up, they're not cartoons, they're anime!" Slippy yelled back interrupting Falco. "I don't care what they're called!" Falco yelled back. "Guys if you would shut up for a minute, we could figure out what we should do!" Fox yelled.
"Hey, will you guys shut up down there, i'm trying to sleep!" Krystal yelled from upstairs. Everyone stood still, scared in their position from Krystal's loud, scary voice. "I hate it when she gets like that." Slippy whined. "Hey, at least you don't have to get up at 3 A.M. in the morning and go to the late night store and buy her beef noodles and cheese curls." Fox replied sarcastically. "I heard that!" Krystal yelled from her bedroom which scared Fox out of his skin. "You think she'll always be like this?" Falco asked. "Only until the baby is born." Fox replied. "Which reminds me, Krystal is getting her first ultrasound today." Fox said to himself.
"So you're gonna get to find out the gender of the baby?" Slippy asked. "Only if Krystal wants to know." Fox replied. "The doctor should be here around noon so we should be able too." Just then a call from General Pepper came up on screen, as Falco answered it, Fox began to cringe at what he thought the General might say. "General Pepper here, today's mission will all have you go into the outermost planets of the Lylat system, and look for Andross and, or Wolf there." General Pepper informed. "Uh General Pepper, do you mind if I sit out today's mission?" "Krystal and I are expecting someone, and I don't want to leave her here by herself when we are expecting someone to come and see us?" Fox asked.
Normally when Fox went out on missions, he knew that Krystal would be safe on the Great Fox, because of all of the security and defense mechanisms installed on the Great Fox, not only that, but he knew that Krystal could defend for herself and she could always call if she needed help, however since they were expecting someone, Fox didn't want to leave her by herself and have someone that could potentially harm her come aboard the ship.
Listen Fox, I know you are concerned, but we need all of the help we can get to track down Andross and Wolf, if it makes you feel any better, i'll send some top rank guards to protect her while she's gone." General Pepper offered. Fox gave it careful thought for a while until he thought of what he should do. "Let me go ask Krystal first, if that's alright?" Fox asked. "Very well than, don't be too long." The general replied. "Thanks sir." Fox said as he left, he could hear the General talking to Slippy and Falco as he went up to his room where Krystal was sleeping.
Fox slowly knocked on the door to enter. "Krystal it's me." Fox said. "Come in." Krystal replied. Fox went in and saw the cerulean beauty, sleeping on his bed, holding her slightly bulging stomach. As Fox sat down on the bed, Krystal could tell something was up. "Krystal, the General wants us to go explore the Lylat System today and see if we can find any signs of Andross or Wolf." Fox explained. "But what about the ultrasound?" Krystal asked. "Chances are, I won't be back until late tonight at best, so I will probably miss it, but don't worry, General Pepper said that he would send top rank officers to guard you." Fox replied.
Krystal sat up and folded her arms as she pouted. "But I don't want other people to guard me, I want you to be with me." Krystal whined. Fox laughed as he wrapped his arms around Krystal. "I want to be with you too, but I can't go against the General because, well, you know what happened last time." Fox reminded. Krystal smiled a little and looked into Fox's eyes for a bit and put her hand on her stomach. "Are little kit here is going to miss you." Krystal said. "Well don't worry little guy, i'll be back before you know it." Fox replied. As Fox got up Krystal came up to him and hugged him from behind. "Fox, be careful out there." Krystal warned. "Don't worry, we'll be safe, oh yeah, I should probably go wake up Peppy, he's always been a heavy sleeper." Fox said as he left the room which made Krystal giggle a little. "I love you Fox." She said to herself as she went back to bed.
Fox went and woke up Peppy and went downstairs to give the General his response. "Alright General, she agreed." Fox said. "That's good, i'll have them sent over right away." The General replied. "I'll wait for them to arrive and then head out." Fox informed. "Alright then, they are on there way, good luck to you guys, Pepper out." General Pepper's hologram faded as Fox began to wait for the guards.
"What's going on?" Peppy asked. "It's a long story, but basically we need to go explore the Lylat System for Andross and Wolf." Fox replied. A few minutes later, the guards arrived aboard the Great Fox and saluted to Fox himself. "We are happy to be of service sir." The first guard said to Fox. Fox checked the uniform to see if they were authentic officers and not just some posers. "Seems to be fine, now listen, when the doctor gets here, make sure he is the right doctor and not some poser, when Krystal is finished, you don't need to stay here any longer if you want." Fox informed. "We appreciate the offer sir, but we are hired to protect and that's what we are going to do." The second guard replied. Fox laughed at their determination and patted them on the back. "You really do take your job seriously, that's good." Fox said to both of them.
As Fox and the rest of the gang headed out, Krystal looked at them flying off into the Lylat System and thought to herself. "Fox, be careful." Krystal thought as she held her stomach with the kit moving around inside her.
Hours had passed by, as the Star Fox team had searched through five planets, and found no sign of trace of either Wolf, or Andross. As it was getting really late, Fox thought it would be best it they headed home for now and continued to explore tomorrow, plus he couldn't stand not knowing how the ultrasound went. As he got into the Arwing Fox began to worry about how everything was going back at home. "Is she ok?" "Did everything go well?" "Were the guards nice to her?" "Is the baby ok?" These questions constantly ran through Fox's mind for the rest of the way home, annoying and worrying him every second.
When Fox finally got back to the Great Fox, he saw that the guards were still at their post. "Is everything ok?" Fox asked. "Everything went fine Fox, we didn't have any trouble." The guards said, finishing each other's sentences. 'Oh, well that's good, you guys can go home now." Fox said. The guards didn't say another word as they left as Fox went up to his room to see how Krystal was doing.
It was late at night when Fox came home, and when Fox went to his room, he saw Krystal looking at some pictures on the bed. "Don't tell me you stayed up this late for me?" Fox asked. "Come here Fox, I want to show you something." Krystal said. Fox began to get really nervous as he knew what was on those pictures that Krystal was holding. Every step felt like a mile to Fox, as he edged closer to the bed and sat in it.
"Take a look at our baby kit." Krystal said as she showed Fox the pictures. Fox looked at the picture and saw a small kit just sitting in a fetal position. "So this is our kit?" Fox asked. "Yes." Krystal replied. "And if you look at this picture, you'll see something even better." Krystal handed Fox another picture and the look on Fox's face was priceless. There was a circle drawn around the kit's crotch and big red letters that spelt, "boy." "Well, looks like we'll be having a boy." Krystal said as she held onto Fox. "What should we name him?" Fox asked. "Aw Fox, let's save that for later." Krystal replied. "Alright then." Fox chuckled as he spent the rest of his night looking at the pictures with Krystal.
Isn't that wonderful? Then again, any Starfox fan would have known the name, and gender of this baby anyway. But still, it's a nice moment. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please tell me what you liked about it, and I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the story. Take care.
