Sarah opened her eyes slowly, when her ears caught the sound of music. She groaned and winced in pain as she sat up. She looked around and saw the entire Dark Aster completely destroyed, concrete, sticks and twigs covering the ground. Her heart broke, when she remembered about Groot. She heard a crying sound and turned to see Rocket bent over on his knees clutching a stick.

Sarah got up, holding her abdomen and walked over to him. She knelt down and placed a arm around his shoulder. He looked up at her, tears in his eyes and looked back down at the stick in his hands.

"I called him a idiot." He said, his voice cracking.

He then turned to her and hugged her, crying softly into her shirt. Sarah hugged him back and she closed her eyes, feeling like crying herself.

Rocket's ears twitched and they separated, when they heard movement behind them. Sarah's eyes widened, when she saw who had came out of the ship's wreckage.

"Ronan!" She gasped and Rocket's face turns too one of pure hatred.

"You killed Groot!" He screamed and ran at him.

Sarah tried to grab him, but he was too fast. "Rocket, no don't-!"

Ronan only frowned and used his hammer with the infinity stone to throw Rocket aside as if he was nothing.

"ROCKET!" Sarah screamed and rushed over to him. "Oh my God, Rocket. Are you alright?" She said as she gently lifts him up.

"Yeah..." Rocket winced, but glared at Ronan as he began to speak.

"Behold! Your Guardians of the Galaxy!" He bellowed to the citizens that had gathered around the wreckage. As he said this, Sarah looked next to her and saw the Hadron Enforcer, though slightly broken. She nudged Rocket and looked to her.

"Look." She whispered and pointed to the weapon. He looked to where she pointed and his eyes lit up. He nodded and moved over quickly to fix the machine. Drax saw and Sarah looked at him, understanding passing between them and he looked over to Peter, who also saw what Rocket was doing. While all this, Ronan continued to talk.

"What fruit have they wrought? Only that my father and his father shall know vengeance. People of Xandar, the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods! Your salvation is at hand!"

But just as Ronan raised up his hammer to use the stone once more, Peter stands up and starts to sing. "Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier. Ooh-oo child, things'll get brighter.' He sang Ronan stared, completely confused as peter pointed to him.

"You listen to these words." Peter said and he continued to sing. "Ooh-oo, things are gonna get easier. Ooh-oo child, things'll get brighter. Now bring it down hard!" Peter then starts to dance as he keeps singing. "Someday, we'll get it together and we'll get it..."

"What are you doing?" Ronan stared at Peter as if he was crazy.

Peter nodded at him. "Dance-off, bro. Me and you." He turned to Gamora and held his hand out to her. "Gamora."

Gamora shook her head frantically and Peter took his hand back.

"Subtle. Take it back." He said, shrugging his shoulders. Peter continues to dance as Rocket and Drax got up. the Hadron Enforcer. Sarah stood up as well and smirked at Ronan. He had no idea what they were doing, completely distracted by Peter.

"What are you doing?" Ronan asked, starting to look annoyed.

Peter grinned. "I'm distracting you, you big turd blossom."

Ronan quickly turns to Drax and Rocket as Rocket connects the two wires to fire the weapon and they fire the weapon at the hammer. The shot destroys the hammer and the infinity stone flies out of it. Sarah reacts quickly and jumps to catch it.

Rocket drops the weapon and stepping forward. "No! Sarah!" but it was too late Sarah grabs the orb and the power and energy begins to consume her. She screams in pain and Gamora stumbles over to her.

"Take my hand, Sarah." She screamed at her. "Take my hand!"

Sarah grabs her hand. The energy from the stone begins to consume Gamora as well. Peter struggled to reach her, but finally made it and grabs her hand, the energy filling him as well. Drax forced himself over as well and grabs onto Sarah's shoulder and Rocket's grabs onto Drax's finger. the five of them struggling to hold in all the power and energy of the stone.

Ronan stared at them in surprise and rage. "You're mortal! How?"

Sarah looked at him. "You said it yourself, We're the Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, it's game over for YOU!" Sarah opens her hand and released the power of the stone at Ronan. All the energy took over Ronan's body and in seconds, the stone completely destroyed him.

Gamora reached quickly into her pocket and slammed the case of the orb over the stone, containing in its power.

Peter smiles weakly at her and Gamora hands him the orb, just as Yondu and his men show up.

"Well, well, well. Quite the light show." He chuckles and walks in front of Peter. "Ain't this sweet. But you got some business to attend to, before all the nookie-nookie starts." He said as he saw how Peter smiled at Gamora.

Gamora looked at Peter in shock "Peter, you can't." she said sounding desperate.

"Peter." Sarah murmured, her expression with the same desperation as Gamora.

"You gotta reconsider this, Yondu." Peter told him. "I don't know who you're selling this to, but the only way the universe can survive is if you give it to the Nova Corps."

Yondu only frowned and whistled, a small arrow flying out of his pants pocket. The arrow floated in front of Peter's face and Peter's eyes widened.

"I may be pretty as an angel, but I sure as hell ain't one. Hand it over, son." Yondu says, holding out his hand.

Peter looks at his hand and then the orb and reluctantly gives it to Yondu, who laughs and turns to leave, when Peter stops him.

"Yondu"

He turns slowly to face Peter again and Peter looks at him, serious with a small glimmer of worry in his eyes. "Do not open that orb. You know that, right?, You've seen what it does to people."

Yondu only chuckles to himself and walks off to his ship.

Sarah stare at Peter. "How could you... How could you give him the orb?"

Peter looks at her and gives her a small smile. "I know. I am in deep trouble. Because he is gonna be pissed, when he realizes I switched the orb on him."

Gamora chuckles and grabs his arm softly. "He was gonna kill you, Peter."

"Oh, I know." Peter says sighing. "But he was about the only family I had."

Gamora smiles at him. "No. He wasn't."

Before anybody could say anything, Sarah suddenly drops to the ground holding her stomach, and screaming in pain. The others rushed over to her, Rocket being the fastest, ran to her and grabs her face. "Sarah! What's wrong?!" He asked panicking. She turned over and threw up blood on the ground, heard Peter screaming for a medic, and she passed out from the pain. But not before hearing Rocket screaming her name.

"SAAAAAAARRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Sarah opened her eyes as she heard a soft beeping sound next to her. She blinked a few times to clear up her vision and she begins to sit up.

"Miss, stay down, you are still healing." A voice said. Sarah turned to her side to see a doctor at her bedside, checking her vitals.

"How am I doctor?" Sarah asks worriedly.

The Doctor checked his pad and responded. "Your body was burning from the inside, and we had no choice, but to rush you here and use a new experimental drug we created. But you healed up nice over the last 8 months." Sarah sat there is shocked, it has been 8 months since the battle. Her thoughts were cut off, when the Doctor had more to say, "There is more, when we were fixing your wounds, we had found something in your body."

Sarah was now confused and scared.

"What?" she said worriedly, at the Doctor, who moved aside, helped her stand up and walked her over to a small tub in the corner of the room. She slowly walked over to it, to see a blue blanket covering something breathing under it. Sarah gulped, and she reached for the blanket and then moved it slightly and gasped at what she saw.

The months have been brutal to the team, ever since the incident, they have not seen Sarah at all. The last time that they saw her was, when she was leaving with the medics. But that changes, when they got a call saying Sarah woke up, they all rushed to the Hospital with Rocket in the lead. He asked the room number and he got it, he tore through the halls until he found the room and burst through the room.

There she was, dressed in the clothes she wore in the battle, but they were washed, and she was holding something in her arms, when she saw Rocket, she gave him one of her smiles that he loved so much. She stood up and gently placed the bundle she was holding on the bed, rushed over to Rocket, slid on her knees, grabs him in a hug, and kisses him with a fiery passion, to which he returned, they were kissing for a few minutes, after they broke for air, she stood up only to be grabbed in a big hug by Peter, followed by Gamora, and Drax settled with a one arm hug.

"You're alright!" Rocket said, to Sarah while a really big smile on his face. Sarah giggled at him

"What did you tell me before?" Sarah said thinking out loud, with a finger in her chin, along with a thinking face. She snapped her fingers and pointed at Rocket. "Quit worrying about me so much." She said smiling at him.

The group laughed with humor and relief, until they stop at a comfortable silence.

Something dawned on Sarah, she turned to Rocket, looking seriously at him. "Rocket..., something happened before we fought Ronan." Rocket looks confused at what Sarah is saying. She sees his look. "It is probably better, if I showed you." She walked over to the bed, gently picked up the bundle and walks back over to him and gets on her knees. "I was in shock, when I found out." With that she gently moved the blanket around, and showed him, "Rocket..., meet our daughter."
