FemaleJester1212 present and accounted for, enjoy!

It started to rain and Hopper,Molt,Carson and Flik looked around for Dimitri to defeat him and they saw the circus bugs being strangled by one of the four of them ran to the dragonflies and pushed them off and Thumper came out of nowhere to scare the dragonflies away.

"Good job Thumper." Hopper praised as he pat Thumper on the head and Thumper flew off to scare more dragonflies.

"It's good to see you guys,I thought we were goners." Rosie said.

Hopper looked around and to the circus bugs he said, "One of you can stay here and fight the dragonflies." Hopper glanced at some of the grasshoppers and ants that are going inside the anthill. "or go inside the anthill like what the other grasshoppers and ants are doing and help Shelby."

The circus bugs looked confused at the part when Hopper said something about Shelby.

Hopper read their minds, "Shelby is in labor!"

"Um,what kind of labor?" Francis questioned.

"She's having a baby!" Hopper said this time,more specific.

"Oh." The circus bugs said at the same time.

Then Francis,Slim,Gypsy, Manny,and Rosie walked in the anthill,leaving Tuck and Roll,Heimlich,and P.T. Flea with Hopper,Molt,Flik,and Carson.

"Molt I think you better help Shelby too." Hopper glanced at Molt.

"Okay Hop." Molt said as he ran inside the anthill and to the medical chamber.

"Right,now lets go!" Hopper said to the others that decided to stay and fight the dragonflies.

Then they tried to find Dimitri and on the way,they scared the other dragonflies away.

"Doctor Flora!" Atta called.

"Yes?" Doctor Flora said.

"We have a situation going on!" Said Ellen.

"What is it?" Doctor Flora questioned.

Shelby was sweating and breathing, "The baby is coming!"

"We should get you on the flower and fast!" Doctor Flora said to Shelby.

Then Doctor Flora let Shelby lay down on the flower and said to Dot and Atta, "I think you two might want to wait outside."

To Shelby,Ellen said, "Okay sis,just keep breathing and just relax."

"RELAX?" Shelby said still sweating, "HOW CAN I RELAX WHEN I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS?"

"Shelby,just calm down." Ellen said.

"Oh,if I survive this I'm going to kill Hopper for putting me through this." Shelby said angrily.

"Sis,snap out of it!" Ellen exclaimed.

Shelby kept breathing and tears came out of her eyes and Molt, Francis,Manny,Gypsy,Slim,and Rosie came in.

"I see we're doing great today!" Molt lied as he noticed that his sister-in-law was having trouble.

"You think this is great?" Shelby shouted.

"Okay,okay geez forget what I said." Molt said.

"Just breathe and relax." Francis said.

"Here just squeeze my hand." Molt said in a half calm/half panicking tone.

Shelby did as she was told and she sqeezed Molt's hand hard and released it. All of a sudden,dragonflies came in the medical chamber and Molt saw them and he said to Shelby, "Excuse me." Then he kicked the dragonflies far out of the room with his feet.

"Yea,that felt good my feet are burnin' I gotta tiptoe." Molt cheered, "Tiptoe,tiptoe,tippytoe!" He said happily as he danced on his tiptoes.

"Excuse me twickle toes." Shelby interrupted, "giving birth here!"

"Oh,yeah." Molt chuckled nervously, "sorry." (Ice Age 3 reference I know)

"Okay just keep breathing you're doing great." Molt said.

The dragonflies then dragged Molt by the ankles and Molt held on with his fingernails on the ground.

"Molt!" Shelby and Ellen exclaimed.

"I'll be okay,just keep breathing Shelby!" Molt exclaimed as he was dragged out of the cave by the dragonflies.

Molt was being carried by the dragonflies and shouted, "Help!"

Hopper noticed that his brother was being carried in the sky by the dragonflies and said, "don't worry little brother I'll save you!"

Then Hopper kicked off from the ground and flew in the air and bumped the dragonflies which the dragonflies let go and Molt fell but he remembered that he had wings so he fluttered his wings and flew in the air.

"That was close,thanks Hopper." Molt said.

"No problem." Hopper said, "so how's Shelby?"

"She's fine,she's still in labor." Molt said.

"Still in labor?" Hopper echoed in a questioning way.

"Yeah." Molt nodded.

"I need to hurry!" Hopper said, "I need to defeat Dimitri and get back to help Shelby!"

Then Hopper and Molt were finding their friends and help them stop Dimitri.

When they got to where Flik and Carson are and they were being chased by Dimitri and Hopper kicked Dimitri to the ground.

Dimitri growled angrily and he said to Hopper,Flik,Molt,and Carson, "I"M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Then the four of them flew away quickly but Flik just ran from Dimitri and they flew and flew when they got to a cave and they heard some screeching. "Why are we in here?" Carson asked.

Hopper glanced at the bat that was hungry for the grasshoppers and ants and he pointed at the bat. "That's why." Hopper answered.

Dimitri finally found them,not notcing the bat he walked angrily and said, "This is the last of you Hopper!" Dimitri said, "especially you three."

"Dimitri, go away!" Flik said as he backed away.

"I'll be back, just you wait!" Dimitri said angrily as he smacked Flik,Molt,and Carson and pushed Hopper down and Hopper backed away so Dimitri won't attack them.

"And guess what leader of the grasshoppers! You are really pathetic and I'll get you next year and this time with more dragonflies!" Dimitri snapped.

Then the bat came in view and saw Dimitri and Dimitri scoffed and said in a mocked scared tone, "Is this one fake too? Are there more ants and grasshoppers in this one too?"

"Yes,yes it is." Hopper smirked.

"I knew it!" Dimitri said and to the bat he said, "hello other ants and grasshoppers!"

Then the bat screeched and Dimitri cowered and he quickly flew out of the cave and the bat was chasing him away trying to eat Dimitri. Hopper,Molt,Carson,and Flik laughed amusingly.

"That was awesome!" Carson said, "if only Shelby and Ellen were here."

Hopper stopped laughing when he heard Carson say the name of the two female grasshoppers.

"Shelby!" Hopper exclaimed,suddenly remembering, "guys! We gotta go,Shelby is still in labor and I need to see my kids!"

Then Hopper,Molt,Carson,and Flik ran out of the cave and back to Ant Island.

In the medical chamber inside of the anthill Shelby was still in labor and the baby was almost out.

"Okay sis,one,two,three push!" Ellen encouraged.

Shelby took a deep breath and pushed and finally the baby was out. (A.N I know that grasshoppers lay eggs but I was bored and it makes me crazy for waiting so long for things to hatch).

Doctor Flora picked up the two babies and carried them to clean them.

"I'm glad that's over." Shelby breathed a sigh of relief, "this is wearing me out."

"At least you survived." Francis said as the rest of the circus bugs came inside the anthill.

Doctor Flora returned with the grasshopper nymph and she handed the nymph to Shelby and Shelby smiled as she saw the baby,and Atta and Dot came in,deciding that is was okay to come in now.

Shelby finally heard Hopper,Molt,Flik,and Carson came in the entrance of the anthill and Shelby called out softly, "Hopper."

Hopper heard her tired voice and so did Flik,Molt,and Carson so they went inside and saw Shelby holding something in her arms and smiling tiredly at him.

Hopper noticed that his mate was holding a baby in her arms and Shelby showed him the baby.

The baby was asleep and when the baby finally woke up it looked at Hopper and baby grasshopper looked mostly like her mother with her gray,sort of blackish skin with sort of pinkish stripes across her back, and when she opened her eyes,her eyes were light brown like her father's.

Hopper smiled at the baby grasshopper back and he held out his hand and tickled the baby under the chin and the baby grasshopper laughed and Shelby handed the baby to Hopper.

"She's perfect." Hopper said as his daughter played with his antenna.

Doctor Flora tapped on Shelby and Shelby turned and glanced at her and Doctor Flora handed her another baby.

This time,the baby grasshopper was a boy and he looked a lot like Hopper but he had Shelby's eyes.

"Well Shelby," Hopper chuckled, "it looks like we got another bundle of joy."

"Yes." Shelby nodded as she held the baby boy.

"So what are you going to name them?" Hopper asked.

Shelby got quiet for a moment then she said, "I think I'll name the girl Lillian,but Lilly for short,because that was my mothers name."

"That's a good idea Shelby," Carson agreed.

"Yeah." Shelby said, "What are we going to name the boy?"

"Well,since my name is Hopper,let's name the boy Bouncer." Hopper said.

"That's a good name." Shelby agreed.

"They are so cute!" Ellen said happily.

"Yes,they are." Molt said, "Lilly is beautiful like her mother and Bouncer is cool like his dad."

"Hi Bouncer and Lilly,aunt Ellen is here." Shelby's sister said then to Shelby and Hopper she said, "can I hold them?"

"Sure." Hopper and Shelby said at the same time as they handed their kids to their aunt.

"Can I hold my niece and nephew after you?" Molt asked Ellen.

"Sure Molt." Ellen said.

"And can I hold them after Molt?" Carson asked.

"Sure Car." Ellen said.

Then Ellen held her niece and nephew for fifteen minutes and then she handed them to Molt.

"Hi kids,uncle Molt is here." Molt said.

Bouncer and Lilly smiled at Molt and at everyone in the held them for fifteen more minutes and he handed the babies to Carson.

"Hey nice to meet you Bouncer and Lilly." Carson said.

Then Carson handed his niece and nephew to his brother-in-law and sister after twenty soon as Bouncer and Lilly got handed back to their parents they got up and started to walk.

"Look,they're finally walking." Atta said.

Everyone watched the grasshopper nymphs walking around the room and playing with each other.

Dot watched them as a tear escaped from her eye but she wiped it away quickly.

"I saw that." Shelby said to Dot. (Again,Ice Age three reference)

"I love you Hopper." Shelby said as she tiredly sat up and hugged her husband.

"I love you too Shelby." Hopper said as he hugged his wife back.

Then eveyrone left the room to leave Molt,Ellen,Carson,Hopper,Shelby,and their kids alone for family time.

"So how does it feel to be a dad Hopper?" Molt finally asked his brother as soon as the others left.

"It actually feels great." Hopper smiled.

"I'm thinking I should have kids too." Molt said as he glanced at Ellen and Ellen nodded as she agreed with Molt, "so then you will have nieces or nephews."

"Yeah,you should." Hopper said.

Shelby yawned as she said, "It's been a long day I need to rest."

"Yeah,me too." Hopper said as he layed next to his wife and put his arm around her.

Bouncer and Lilly played with each other until they yawned and they layed down on the bed and cuddled up next to their mother and they slowly fell asleep.

Hopper and Shelby smiled proudly at their kids and they slowly fell asleep as well.

Molt and Ellen cuddled next to each other and fell asleep too and Carson felt a little tired and he looked at his niece and nephew as he fell asleep as well.

Finally Hopper and Shelby had their kids,pretty exciting isn't it? Stay tuned for the epilogue.
