Once again did they all land in the Hall of Portals. Liam felt Petra's weight on him, and he could tell she was tired.

"Hey, Jesse. You think we can just stay here until we're all rested and ready to go?" Lukas asks, beating Liam to the question he wanted to ask. Jesse turned around and looked at Petra.

"Of course. We were all up through the night. We didn't even get any sleep when we came here after the Sky City ficaso." Jesse nods, and she looked around for a spot. The brunette pointed over to an area near the wall. "There. That should be good." she withdrew her arm, reaching into her pockets and tossing Lukas a pickaxe to dig a hole into the ground for them to place the Netherrack.

"Sleep sounds like a fantastic idea." Ivor grumbled, going to the area, and lying down on the cool stone ground. He was out almost immediately.

"I couldn't've said that any better." Lukas shook his head while yawning.

"We'll talk tomorrow." Jesse agreed, lying down after setting the fire with a normal set of flint and steel. Liam sat down next to where Petra relaxed against the wall. Liam could tell that she was already out. I mean, she's holding a kid in her now. Of course she would be tired after all that. Liam turned his hips towards her, lifting her body and placing her on his lap. Petra shifted, making herself comfortable by resting her head on his shoulder and her forehead into the crook of his neck.

"I love you." he whispered, kissing her forehead. Petra mumbled out some incoherent wording, but Liam could tell they were 'I love you too.' He smiles, taking her hand and giving it a comforting squeeze before looking around for Nath. He was lying down on his side when Liam noticed a calico cat strolling nearby. "Winslow?" he asks, and the small chaton ignored the blond. Liam didn't move, for he wanted Petra to rest comfortably. Winslow sniffled Nath, before going in circles and lying down in a small fetus position, pressed up against the redhead's stomach. The calico fell asleep, and Liam just smiles.

"Looks like Winslow likes Nath better than Cassie." Lukas pointed out from where he was lying down, Jesse cuddled into his chest. Liam couldn't help but to give a breathy laugh from seeing Lukas and Jesse cuddling.

"Looks like Lukas likes Jesse better than I thought." he teased in a whisper, giving his brother a wink. Lukas rolls his eyes.

And within a few more minutes, give or take, both boys fell asleep as well.

Nath was the first to awaken the next morning. He felt something pawing at his nose. Nath waved away whatever or whoever it was bothering him. When he tried to go back to sleep, he sighs, knowing it would be no use. When he opened his eyes, though, he didn't expect to see Winslow's green ones staring right back at him. He yelped, sitting up and scooting away from the cat.

"Winslow?!" he whisper-shouted. "Wh-what are you doing here?" he asks, as Winslow just gave no answer, sitting down and licking her paw. Nath sighs, going to pick her up. She snuggled into his arms, making him groan.

"You greedy dimwit."

Liam woke up to find Winslow purring as Nath pet her. She seemed to really like him. The blond managed to hold a sneeze in.

"Liam? Do you have a fish? Winslow's been bugging me since I woke up." Nath looked up at the blond, who nods.

"I think I snatched some from the kitchen back in the Two Moon World." Liam whispered, and managed to reach into his pocket to get a fish. He pulled out a few and handed them to Nath, who fed them to Winslow.

"Thanks, Dad-" Nath stopped almost immediately. "I-I'm sorry, Liam, I didn't mean to say that."

"It's alright, sorry. I'm Dad." Liam smirked, making Nath drop Winslow and Ivor begin to giggle from where he was.

"Oh my god." Nath muttered, facepalming. "Okay- I walked right into that one."

"That you did." Liam grins, laughing a little as he felt Petra shift in his arms.

When everyone was awake, Liam told them what had happened with him and Nath over breakfast, which was just some steak and lambchops.

"So, for a majority of the night, I guess you two were just hanging around?" Ivor punned, making Lukas and Liam laugh.

"Yeah, you can say that." Liam grins, while Jesse and Petra looked at each other. The two girls just roll their eyes at the men.

"Look, guys, I'd like to get back to business about getting home. Now, one of these portals definitely lead home. The problem is, which one?" Jesse stopped the boys, and Nath groans.

"Thank you!" he told the brunette. Now it was Jesse and Petra's turn to laugh.

"I'd actually like to propose a plan…" Liam began. "I was thinking we could take Petra back to the Sky World. I mean, we know where the portals are."

"No." Petra immediately opposed to Liam's plan.

"Petra, you have a kid in you right now! I don't want you to be getting hurt, or worse. Sky World, where you have Isa and Milo and Reggie to look after you. You'll just be there until we know the portal to get home. Then I'll come back for you."

"When does he not, Petra?" Ivor motioned to Liam. "I agree with him." Petra's jaw dropped a little, and she looked around in hope for anyone on her side to keep her with them.

"I think Liam's got a good idea, Petra…" Jesse hesitantly spoke, before Lukas agreed.

"Yeah, it's probably best."

"I can go with you, Petra." Nath volunteered.

"No, Nath, you don't have to-"

"I am. You all saw what happened in this previous world? I died no less than an hour in." Nath convinced. Petra looks around to find all eyes on her.

"Please?" Liam pleaded, taking both of her hands while facing her. "For the kiddo?" He looked down at the slight bump. Petra held her breath, then released it in a sigh.

"Fine. I'll stay in the Sky City World until you find our way home." She stood, and Liam stood with her.

"You all can check out the other portals, decide which one we'll try next." Liam looked amongst the others. Lukas, Jesse, and Nath stood as well. The redheaded child still held Winslow.

"Until then?" Jesse asks, and Petra nods, pulling her good friend into a hug. Jesse pulled away, and Petra leaned in to Lukas to give him a hug.

"See you soon, Peets."

"That my nickname for her!" Liam playfully flicked Lukas's ear as he passed.

"See you all soon!" Nath called as the trio began to walk towards the Sky City portal near the end.

"Petra? Liam, Nath? What brings you all here?" A voice greeted them almost immediately. It was Isa, and Liam turned around to greet her when Milo came up behind her, grabbing her shoulders and going 'Boo!' Nath laughed at Isa's reaction which was turn around and sock Milo in the jaw.

"Wow." Petra breathed, looking at how much the community has grown.

"Looks good, huh? It's only been a full day since you were gone." Milo seemed to be bragging, but Liam let it slide, shaking his head.

"I stand by original statement. What brings you here?" Isa asks, petting the cat in Nath's arms.

"Well, Petra's pregnant." Liam began, and Milo whistled. Isa gave him a good whack on the chest to shut him up so Liam could go on. "And we were hoping you could watch over her until the others and I find the way home."

"Wise decision. And I'm assuming Nath is staying with her, as well as the cat?"

"Yes." Liam nodded.

"I didn't want to do this."

"Well, it's for the best, Petra." Milo agreed. Petra groaned.

"Look, babe, I'll come back for you. I always have." Liam promised to Petra, kneeling down at her bedside. He had spent the day getting her a house built with the necessities she needed. Nath had his own room with Winslow. Her armor was off, revealing the bump much easier. Petra's hand was stroking Liam's hair as he placed a hand on the bump.

"I think someone wants to say goodbye to their father before he leaves." she spoke, and Liam couldn't help but to grin, resting his forehead on her stomach lightly. When he leaned away, he glanced up at Petra, who was still stroking his hair, mostly his floof. Liam looked back down at the belly.

"Hey, kiddo." Liam began. "I know we're going to have to part in probably less than five minutes, but you're going to have your momma here with you, and your to-be older brother nearby. I think they'll be able to keep you company while I'm gone.

"But don't worry. I'll be back. I always come back. I mean, I came back from a place where everyone thought I died." Petra lightly whapped the back of his head, making Liam laugh a little.

"He didn't need to know that."

"You think it's going to be a he?"

"I feel like it will be." Petra chuckles, still stroking his hair. Liam took a deep breath, before looking down.

"Yeah… I think it'll be a boy too." Liam leaned up and kissed the stomach.

"Hey, I kinda hate to ruin the moment, but how far in are you?" Nath appeared at the door."

"Almost three months, why?"

"That would be about 12 weeks, so there is a chance that you could be able to hear the heartbeat." Nath pointed out. "I heard a woman's baby's heartbeat once when she visited my mom. There's a chance I could recognize the heartbeat, but I'm going to have to brush up on it with some books…" Nath turned and left, going to the library in hopes of a book that would help. Liam looked up at Petra.

"We can try." she shrugged, and Liam nods, standing up from his spot. He allowed her to pull up her blue shirt, just enough to reveal the bump. Liam took a shaky breath and leaned down, pressing his ear against the bump.

buh bum .. buh bum .. buh bum

Liam's eyes widened as everything else in the world silenced out automatically. He was hearing his little boy or little girl's heartbeat.

buh bum .. buh bum .. buh bum

He was hearing it.

"Liam?" Petra asks, "Is everything all right?" She took his hand as he pulled away from the stomach.

"Yeah… everything's just fine, babe…"

Just…

Fine.

And whoooh! That's all I got for midlogue! Did I make anyone cry? Probably not. *le shrug*

What do you all think of it? Did I do good?

Now, don't worry! I will have Petra basically replace Liam in Episodes 7 and 8. But if their portal journey doesn't end there- do not fret! I will have an epilogue where they pay Petra and Nath a visit.

Until the new episode comes out…

Thank you all so much for reading and I will see YOU… in the next chapter…

CIAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
