A/N: Here is a request for ARC-27-3333
Pidge rubbed her arm nervously, ever since her last encounter with Drake she had got this gnawing feeling in her gut, was what he said actually true? He was an idiot but she just couldn't get his words out of his head. Well now was the time to actually see if he was right.
Pidge dragged her feet into the living room, rubbing her arm nervously, she had no idea how her parents would take this so she was bracing herself for the worst outcome.
"Mom, dad, can we talk?" She asked as she stood in front of her parents.
"Sure Pidge, what's on your mind?" Shiro asked as he paused the game, Pidge took in a breath, she had their attention now.
"As you both know I've never beaten around the bush before and I won't start now" Pidge took in a deep breath and let it all out "Am I adopted?"
What followed next was a moment of silence.
"Pidge…" A hurt sounding voice made Pidge look up, she saw what she had feared, her parents staring at her wide eyed and completely horrified! Allura sprang to her feet and placed both hands on Pidges shoulders. "Why would you ask us that?"
"Because it's true!" Pidge exclaimed, tears began to quickly form in her eyes and spill down her face.
"No it's not!" Shiro exclaimed as he joined Allura and put a hand on Pidge's back.
"Then why don't I look anything you?!" She asked furiously, throwing off her glasses. "Dad, Keith has your hair! Mom, Lance has your skin tone! Hunk has both! Look at me! My hair is brown, my skin tone is neither ghostly pale or dark tan and…and…I'm just not like you okay!" Another moment of silence followed before pidge buried her eyes in one of her hands and began sobbing openly.
Shiro and Allura exchanged a look and Allura made a motion with her head, it took Shiro a moment to catch on before he could dove to the under of the table and began rummaging through the many disks while Allura ushered Pidge to sit down and hold the sobbing girl close and hoped that Shiro would find what they needed and fast.
"Here" Shiro whispered in relief as he quickly took the DVD from it's case and slid it into the player and he took a seat on the couch, Pidge sandwiched between him and Allura. "Pidge, you're going to want to see this"
"A movie? Right now?" Pidge asked indignantly, her eyes narrowing in contempt.
"Trust us, you'll want to see this one" Allura said in a hushed voice as the screen came to life, after a moment a static the image flickered to a picture of Shiro's face.
"Is it on? Is it working?" Shiro asked as he taped the camera.
"The red light means it's recording" Came the voice of a tired sounding Allura.
"Oh…right…okay then" Shiro chuckled sheepishly and turned the camera to Allura, lying in a hospital bed with a little cute baby in her arms, no black hair, no tanned skin just a cute little girl with a tuft of brown hair.
"Isn't she precious?" Allura asked, her eyes fixed on her new daughter.
"She's perfect" Pidge heard the smile in Shiro's voice.
"Our first daughter and she's beautiful and I can tell she's so special" Allura smiled softly.
"She's special because she's going to be our last kid" Shiro chuckled.
"Oh really?" Allura said, looking at the camera with a bemused smile on her face.
"Yes really, one more delivery and I'm going to need another prosthetic hand" Shiro chuckled.
Something formed inside of Pidge that went from her chest and came out her mouth as a shaky giggle.
"What are we gonna name her?" Shiro asked once the two had shared a quick laugh.
Allura took a moment to think and during that time the baby began to coo and make grabby hands at the camera.
"I think our little angel wants her daddy" Allura giggled softly.
There was some shuffling and now the camera was facing Shiro, clad in green scrubs and holding his little girl.
"Hey princess" Shiro cooed, giving the little cutie an Eskimo Kiss, earning him another series of coos.
"She coos as much as a Pidgeon or a Dove" Allura smiled.
"Pidgeon…Pidge" Realization hit Shiro's face. "I like it"
"Lets save that for a nickname" Allura intercepted sheepishly. "I like Katie"
"To save argument lets go with that" Shiro chuckled and looked down at his daughter. "Hello, my little Pidge"
Shiro flipped off the TV. "Is that proof enough for you kiddo?" He asked gently.
Pidge looked between her parents, her eyes filled with guilt and remorse for ever conceiving the idea that these weren't her parents.
"I-I'm sorry" Pidges voice trembled and before she had a chance to continue she felt her parents wrap their arms around her and brought their bodies close to them.
"It's okay honey we're just glad that we were able to clear the air" Allura smiled, kissing her forehead. "You and your brothers are the first offspring of a human and Altean, each time we had one of you we weren't sure what to expect. We don't really know why you look so different but I believe it might be a fusion between your fathers human DNA and my Altean camouflage gene but regardless of what the reason is you ARE our daughter"
"I know that mom, I should have never thought otherwise" Pidge said softly as she leaned in between the two.
"I'm glad you talked to us about this, when you said "Can we talk" I thought you were going to tell us you were pregnant, Phew!" Shiro sighed in relief and winced as Allura slapped him on the side of the head.
"Daddy!" Pidge huffed, nudging him in the stomach.
"Just kidding sweetheart" Shiro chuckled.
"I love you guys" Pidge sighed contently, closing her eyes and leaning against them.
"We love you too baby" Allura said in a soft voice as they sat together, comfortably cuddled together.
