Chapter 20: Just Married: Chapter 8

Ty's POV

Yawn... the cabin is nice and peaceful... and everything is better with Vybe by my side... wait... where is she...

"Ah... hah..." I hear from the bathroom. I get out of bed and run to where Vybe is. I open the door and Vybe is dressed, but three cyan-yellow orbs, which could be mistaken for mango-sized marbles, are on the rug in the bathroom. "Hah... Ty..." She panted.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Are they beautiful?" Vybe asked. I guess I managed to stay asleep through her screams of pain.

"Yes... they are... those things inside them must be embryos..." I say before being kissed by Vybe.

"We are parents now. You better not leave me now." Vybe threatened. "The pain I went through this morning is something that I'm not sure we want done to you..."

"Let's just enjoy the moment..." I said. I hear the phone ring. "Darn it, who is calling..." I walk out of the bathroom to go get the phone, then I return.

"Ty, this is Callie." Callie said. "There is someone coming after you and Vybe. He isn't stopping for jack..."

"Hey... calm your voice, I'm sure you don't want to teach others new words..." I said.

"Ty, with the echoes in the room, you are in the bathroom?" Callie said.

"Yeah... we both are." Vybe said. "And now parents."

"Dang, you two need to slow the fish down." Callie said. "As I was saying about the attacker, The only reason we know of this is because he broke your windows in the new apartment. House insurance got the cost for the windows. He is coming for you two. You both have a license to kill for now, make it count."

"Can we get a description?" I asked.

"Very burly, chocolate skin, dark-grey tentacles. Our police force could not stop him, so he can take many hits." Callie said. "We are coming to you due to the fact you two have children now. We are bringing your hero suits as well."

"Well, look for Cabin number 9." I said. "See you soon."

"Will do!" Callie said.

I hang up and Vybe looks scared out of her wits. I bring her in close, grab the eggs in the other arm, then we go to the kitchen to find a container to put them in. Vybe grabs a towel and puts it under the eggs.

"I should probably carry a knife until the suits come." I said.

"Good plan. I found a suitable container." She said as she held a large plate container high.

"Yep, that will work!" I said. We hear knocking on the door. I look outside and there is Callie and Marie at my doorstep.

"Hey! That was really quick." I said.

"We had to use both of our reserves to get here." Marie said. "Now where are those munchkins?"

"Vybe is in the kitchen." I said, donning the hero suit once more.

"AWW THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!" I hear Callie say.

"And the color scheme makes them even more pretty." Marie said. "When did you lay them?"

"This morning. I feel blessed to get that over with." Vybe chuckled. "Have you two eaten?"

"Nope." Callie said.

"Well then to celebrate bringing life on this planet, I'm making omelets." Vybe said.

"Is that just some crude joke?" Marie said.

"I learned from that man over there." Vybe responded, pointing at me.

"Hey!" I said. Everyone laughed.

We enjoyed our breakfast, then me and Vybe decided to stay in the cabin for most of the day. We just had our eggs, we don't want to leave them alone with two pop-stars who don't know how to handle sensitive objects. They caught up on our lives, we talked business, and watched TV. By about 1635, however, things happened outside.

"What was that screaming?" Vybe asked. I turn off the TV and I could also hear screaming. The threat is nearby.

"Crap. Vybe, get your suit on. Prepare for..." I said before being interrupted by the screams getting closer outside. I grab the knife I was hiding and hid myself by the doorframe. A nice cut in their eye will do nicely. Suddenly, the door was crashed into, and it fell of the hinges. He was faster than I thought, because he then managed to grab my arm.

"I've been looking everywhere for you..." he said.

"And why me, Santa?" I ask.

"Heh, never before have I heard that one." He responded. "To answer your question, It is simply a matter of finishing the job. How you've eluded me this long I may never know."

"So you are diligent, I give you that, but why me exactly?" I said.

"Because you are the last true Beacon." He said, slyly. "If I kill all of them, then my role would be complete."

He then hoisted me in the air and got a knife out. He does not know what kind of skill I have with my boots. As soon as he tries to swing his knife, I jet us both outside, releasing the knife I had And kicking his out of his hand.

"What was that..." Was all he was able to say before he got a needle in his chest. The ink needle actually has a use. "Gah..."

"Sorry to disappoint you. Were you expecting less?" I said. He was gasping. "I will take your gasp of the most negative influences as a yes." I then start pumping my ink into his chest.

"Gah... I will never forget this... ah..." He said. "Your brother was a nice target..." I didn't let him finish. The Ink Needle went to full blast, and the shocked expression on his face told me I did something he wasn't prepared for. He splattered, and his ghost squid form went back to Inkopolis.

"Holy crap Ty." Vybe said. "If that was the murderer, then why didn't you let him finish?"

"He would have had an opening to do something else. Plus, he broke the moment, deserving quick justice." I said. "Besides, eventually, our children wouldn't have a father, if that man continued."

"Oh you..." Vybe said. "Always thinking about us."

"Well that was over quick." Callie said. "What do we do now?"

"We could go back to Inkopolis, though we need to refill our ink first." Marie said.

"Ok, well, we are leaving now! Bye!" Callie said as she and Marie walked out of the door frame.

"I need to fix that door. And get the knives out of the snow." I say. I get both knives and put them in the safe in the kitchen. Then I place the door back on properly. "Luck was with us; he didn't smash the door to bits, and the hinges are just fine." We ate dinner, and I was washing dished when Vybe shouted.

"Damn, he must have been the source of the bugs. I just found one." She shouted.

"The scanner is in my suitcase." I said. I hear unzipping, and the scanner picks up multiple bugs, as I hear pings. It also made three distinct sounds similar to static.

"Ok, it picked up like 16 bugs, but also picked up three other things." Vybe said.

I look beside me and the eggs were there. "Are they beside me?" I asked.

"Yes, why... oh, the children." Vybe said. She came around and picked up so many bugs. She then picked up the eggs and put them on the bedside table in the bedroom. Once I was done, I went ahead and changed into my pajamas. Vybe was already in bed, reading a book she must have picked up at the bookstore in the Lodge.

"What are you reading?" I asked.

"Book on what to expect with the eggs. The hatching period is about 6 to 7 months. It also stated that most female inklings have one egg at a time, it is rare to have two, and very rare for three." Vybe said. "I guess we are blessed to have triplets?"

"If they hatch at the same time. I don't think it qualifies if they hatch at different times." I said.

"That does matter, though it is recorded by week, so if they hatched one every week, then they won't be triplets." Vybe said. "I won't mind them being triplets, though I do mind them being Identical."

"I feel the same way." I said, getting in bed.

"Love you." Vybe said.

"Love you too." I said.

We fell asleep.

"SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT YOU FAILED?" Something shouted.

"Look, I need more resources in order to kill him. He managed to out-smart me, even when I grabbed his arm." The Inkling said.

"WHAT? WELL, HE IS AN INVENTOR. HE MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING... HOW DID HE KNOW YOU WERE COMING?" something said.

"My bugs directed me to believe the beacon is friends with the squid sisters. Of course, like what happened in Krak-on Beach, they destroyed the bugs." The inkling responded.

"...call it off..." something shouted. "CALL OFF THE HUNT!"

"Will I still be paid?" the inkling said.

"Yes... BUT ONLY HALF OF THE ORIGINAL PRICE!" Something shouted.

"Fine... Though I did get a feeling this was going to happen. The inkling said, pulling out a splattershot.

"HA! REALLY NOW? YOU INTEND ON TAKING ME OUT?" Something shouted. "IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN FEEL MY WRATH, CONNOR!"

Whew. So Vybe laid her eggs, we finally meet who killed Ty's brother, and the situation becomes more unstable.

Hmmm...

HMMMM...

HMMMMM...

The light, like the dark, can't be just simply eliminated. You can't have one without the other.
