When they got back to the party, they had a marvelous time. They socialised with the members of the Voltron Coalition, played games, and never stopped smiling. They were never apart for more than five minutes, but when they were, the fire that usually burned in their eyes dimmed.

Krolia noticed this right away. "They are practically inseparable, don't you think?" She said softly, leaning over to Keith.

"Yeah, the last time I saw Shiro like this- actually, I've never seen him like this. But I can tell he loves her. I can also tell that he never stops thinking about her. They both would die for the each other. I've seen them during training. They're pretty rough, but if they feel like they're going too far, they'll stop, and compliment each other, kiss, stuff like that." He watched them mingle with all of the leaders from the Coalition.

"Do I detect a hint of jealousy?" Krolia teased him.

"Wh- wha- what- whatever gave you that idea?" He stuttered, looking like a deer in headlights.

"Come on, really. I'm your mother. If I can't tell, then I have failed at my number one job." She laughed, nudging him with her shoulder.

"I- I- I- Excuse me." He rushed off to Shiro. "Shiro! Help!" He pleaded in Japanese to his best friend.

"What's wrong?" Shiro turned his head towards Keith.

"My mom knows that I like Acxa."

"And that's bad why?"

"Because… Well… I don't know."

"Then don't worry about it. You're fine." He reassured Keith.

"Okay… Okay." Keith switched back to English. He nodded his head and slipped off again.

"What was that about, Takashi?" Pidge took his hand in hers.

"Nothing. He was just asking me a question." He answered, changing the subject. "What do you want to do now?"

"I don't know. I think it's almost time for dinner." As if on cue, Hunk got everyone's attention and announced that dinner was served. Everyone went to the massive dining room and sat down at their assigned spots.

About halfway into the delicious feast, Allura clinked her spoon against her glass gently. "Members of the Voltron Coalition! If I may have your undivided attention for a bit!" She stood up and tapped a few buttons on the tabletop. A huge 3d holographic map spread out across the room. It showed the whole universe.

"Zarkon has conquered about this much of the entire universe." She motioned to a red area that covered about one half of the map. "We, the Coalition, have freed this much from his grasp." She waved her hand towards a blue section, which covered about one fourth of the map. "This area," She zoomed in on a green area on the holographic map, "Is no-man's-land. Our new goal is to spread our forces along the border between the neutral planets and the Galra Empire. Are there any questions?" She looked around to everyone. "No? Well then-" A single hand went up.

A young Galra boy from the Blade of Marmora was the person attached to the hand. "Our forces are already spread thin. Half of our spies have been found, and we are on the verge of extinction. What do you suggest we do?" His voice was clear and confident. His pitch-black eyes and his ruffled black hair made him look creepily angelic. His appearance rang a bell in the back of Krolia's mind.

"I'm sorry, what's your name?" Allura looked a little put off.

"My name is Kai." As he said his name, Krolia flinched and made a strangled noise from the back of her throat.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Keith put his hand on her shoulder.

"K-Ka-Kai?" She said hoarsely.

"Yes, that's my name. Why?" Kai looked extremely confused.

"Kai? Oh my- Oh my gosh. Oh, gosh. Oh my heavens." She started crying.

"Mom? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Keith looked extremely alarmed.

"Keith, there's something you should know. When I left Earth, I was pregnant. I piloted myself to a peaceful planet, and had my baby there. Three quintants after I had a healthy baby boy, a thief broke into my house. The thief kidnapped my newborn, but didn't take anything else, except one piece of jewelry. It was a silver necklace that was around the neck of my baby boy. It was inscribed with the name 'Kai.'" She wiped her eyes.

"I- I have it." Kai got up and walked around the table to Krolia. He took off a silver necklace and showed it to her.

"That's- that's it. That's the necklace. Oh, my son." She hugged him tightly. He started crying too.

When they finally pulled apart, she cupped his face in her hands. "Oh, Kai. Oh, Kai." She wiped a tear off his face with her finger. "Kai, this is your brother, Keith. He's my firstborn." She pulled Keith over to Kai.

"H-hi." Kai said shyly.

"Hi? That's the kind of greeting you give your older brother?" Keith gave him a brotherly hug.

The rest of the CoAlition was watching these events with great interest. Kolivan was astounded. Kai had been his trainee for two phoebs, and he never thought that Krolia was his mother, despite the extreme resemblance. Kai looked like Krolia, but with Keith's hair (excluding the mullet).

"My two boys. My two, handsome boys." She whispered, holding them both close.

Keith motioned to his mom and brother to go outside to talk. They nodded and exited with him, Krolia's arms around their shoulders.
