Warnings: Some mentions of smut, and by mentions I just mean like dirty jokes and implied stuff. :)
There were a lot of things that Keith didn't expect to happen at 1 in the morning. At 1 in the morning, most people, except if you're a college student (like the author ;)) were asleep. The only exception tonight it seemed was a young, expecting married couple out in a shack in the desert in the middle of nowhere.
Now at first everything within the small one room shack seemed normal. It was messy and various objects and knick knacks were strewn across the floor as well as some clothes and blankets, which moved across the floor as a few space mice decided to tidy up for their princess and her husband since it appeared that he could care less about keeping a tidy home. Not very good spouse material if you asked Plachu.
Kosmo offered his help as well with tidying up the place while his owner snored loudly on the bed as he slept next to his five months pregnant wife who was restless and unable to go to sleep due to a late night craving. But she was too tired to get up to get the treat she desired herself. So instead she leaned over to look at her sleeping paladin, King, husband, and father of her child. She smiled at him and gently stroked his cheek. He had such a handsome face, framed by his long messy black hair, and an incredibly attractive body to go with it. An attractive body that was the reason she was knocked up in the first place and she and Keith were hastily married to keep up proper appearances for the coalition and their new kingdom. And now they were here, on vacation on Earth and the little life that they created that was growing inside of her was craving something, which meant that her mother was craving it too.
"Keith..." Allura whispered softly to him and gently pushed his shoulder.
He only groaned and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his chest.
"Keith...my love." Allura whispers again and pecks his lips.
He smiled in his sleep but still showed no signs of waking. Allura rolled her eyes and sighed, knowing this meant she would have to take drastic measures. She casually stuck her hand down his sweatpants and after a few moments her husband grunted and stirred awake. He gave her one of his signature smirks.
"You just can't keep your hands out of my pants can you?" He teases. "No wonder you're pregnant with my baby." He adds and winks before kissing her.
She scoffs and hits his bicep.
"I only did it to wake you up." She tells him. "Darling I'm craving something." She says and runs her finger down his arm.
"What is it princess?" He asks her hand holds her other hand and rubs the back of it with his thumb.
"A milkshake." She says cheekily.
"A milkshake?" Keith asks and groans, his hair falling onto his face as his head hit the pillow. "'Lura I don't have any ingredients for that here. I'm lactose intolerant remember?"
"Oh...right." Allura says and sighs, rubbing her baby bump.
Keith made the mistake of looking at her and seeing her pout, guilt seeping into his heart as she looked at him with those big baby blues and stuck out her bottom lip. Goddamnit he could never say no to her. That was another reason for the bun cooking in her oven.
"The Garrison supermarket is open for another hour." He says groggily and sits up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and cracking his neck. "I'll take the bike down there and get the stuff for you."
"Oh thank you darling!" Allura says and hugs him and gives him a big kiss on the cheek that squished one of his eyes shut. "You're the best husband ever, and I know you'll make a great father."
"Yeah yeah." Keith says and yawns as he stands up and puts his jacket on.
He had since outgrown his red, yellow and white one that he had when he and Allura first met and was now wearing the black one that Shiro used to have before he left for the Kerberos mission. Shiro gave it to him as a way to pay him back for letting him wear his father's old clothes after rescuing him from Iverson all those years ago.
"You owe me though." He tells her and comes back to the bed and leans over to kiss her.
"Oh don't worry. I'm sure I'll come up with some sort of reward." She says and Keith growls softly as she cups his bulge.
"If you keep giving me rewards like that then pretty soon we'll have a whole clan of kids to take care of." He warns and she giggles and he kisses her again and then kisses her bump before standing up and going to the door.
"Promise you'll come back to us?" Allura asks him.
He turns back to her and sees her looking from him to her belly, then back to him. He smiled and opened the door.
"I will." He said and left to the garage.
Allura watched from the window as Keith drove his hover bike out across the sandy desert, rubbing her belly until he was gone from view.
"He's going to be a wonderful father for you." She tells the baby growing inside of her.
She laid back down on her side and smiled as the mice crawled up around her head and Kosmo hopped up and curled into her side, allowing her to hold him as she tried to go back to sleep.
Keith really shouldn't have been driving while he was so tired. He nearly fell asleep twice and one time he did and woke up to find himself driving off of a cliff and just missed crashing by quickly employing the trick that Shiro had taught him. The things he did for love.
By the grace of the ancients he made it to the Garrison in one piece and just like he expected the store was still open. He squinted from the bright lights and said hi to the cashier.
"What brings you by at this time of night?" The cashier asks. "You don't look high or drunk and you're definitely young enough for it to be either of those two."
"Pregnant wife." Keith says simply and the cashier smiles.
That alone said it all.
"Congratulations." He says. "You're the second guy who's come in here tonight because of that."
Keith arched an eyebrow but didn't press the man on it. He just wanted to get the milkshake ingredients and get back to his princess as fast as he could. Thankfully everything he needed was in the frozen section. With the ingredients in his shopping basket he made his way out of the aisle to go pay for them when suddenly he stopped when he saw something strange out of the corner of his eye in the bread aisle. He slowly backed up and arched an eyebrow when he saw a familiar person laying on the floor while cuddling the loaves of bread on the shelf.
"Lance?" Keith asks.
He only gets a snore in response. Keith walks down the aisle and lets out a short laugh when he sees that it is in fact Lance that was using wonder bread as pillows at the Garrison supermarket at nearly 2 in the morning.
"No Pidge you've got to press the x button." He mumbles in his sleep. "You're gonna get killed by the dragon." He slurs.
"Lance?" Keith asks again, this time louder.
"Ooo a lounge chair on the beach with garlic knots." He sighs dreamily. "And that tiny green bikini..." He purrs and Keith blushes when he sees Lance squeezing one of the loaves of bread.
He felt his face turn red and was scared to see what would happen if he let this continue. He was not about to be the reason "Blue Paladin of Voltron molests bread at 1 am" be the newest viral video on the universal internet.
"Lance!" He shouted and kicked the paladin in the shin.
"Ow!" Lance yelps and quickly jumps awake.
He looks around and gets his bearings.
"Oh...must have dozed off." He says and rubs the back of his head.
He does a double-take when he sees Keith.
"King mullet?" Lance asks and Keith roles his eyes from the nickname.
He got pissed off enough with Lance constantly teasing his hairstyle, but now using his very important regal title on top of it just added salt to the wound.
"What are you doing here on Earth?" Lance asks. "Aren't you and Allura supposed to be ruling New Altea together? I thought we wouldn't see you guys again until after your baby's born."
"The baby's actually why we're here." Keith says. "Stress is bad for the baby and being in charge of an entire kingdom isn't exactly a stroll through the juniberry fields. So the doctor suggested we come spend a month or two on Earth, just the two of us and our pets living out in my shack in the desert, living a calm domestic life. Reading, watching movies, occasionally I'll go out and hunt some rabbits or other critters and grill them up for us and then we'll cuddle in front of the campfire-"
"And get down to business." Lance adds and thrusts his hips in a suggestive gesture.
"Sometimes, yeah." Keith says and smirks.
"Nice." Lance compliments.
"So what are you doing here so early in the morning, or late at night?" Keith asks, unsure of how he should describe the current time.
"Well..." Lance starts and thinks back to about an hour ago...
"Lance! Lance wake up!" Pidge exclaims and jumps on Lance's stomach.
"What is it mi corazón (my heart)?" Lance asks with a yawn.
He rubs his eye with one hand and groans when he sees the time on the clock.
"It's 1 in the morning." He says and looks back up at his beloved wife who was looking at him worriedly. "What are you even doing up?" He asks as he shifts underneath her so that she was straddling him.
He held her hips and rubbed soothing circles into them with his thumbs while she straddled his lap. His thumbs would occasionally brush over her bump and he smiled as he imagined his two babies inside of the woman he loved, curled up together to sleep, or scheme. Probably the latter given how mischievous he and his wife were in their youth and still are today.
Whenever he thought about how he was going to be a dad he couldn't help but smile with excitement. He grew up with a big family and now he was starting one of his own with the girl of his dreams. It was all he could have ever asked for in life, and the fact that he was getting two right off the bat was just icing on an already perfect cake. But as he knew from experience with his cousins, twins often meant trouble. And he was used to being the one laughing along with the antics, not reprimanding them and teaching the kids life lessons. He and Pidge were going to have their hands full, no doubt about it. These two were already causing trouble for him and his wife and they haven't even come out of the womb yet! Five months down, three more to go until the pair of devils was unleashed on the world.
"I went down to the kitchen because the twins were keeping me up and I was craving peanut butter, and peanut butter always calms them down and I just love peanut butter!" She says dreamily and licks her lips. "So I went to the pantry to find the peanut butter and then that's when the tragedy struck!" Pidge exclaims.
Lance's eyes widened and he sat up straight and held onto his wife.
"What happened?" He asks, worried about what had made his usually confident little spitfire a teary mess in his arms.
"Oh Lance it's awful!" Pidge sobs. "We're out of peanut butter!"
"Oh my God we're out of peanut butter!" Lance shouts and jumps off of the bed and runs out into the hall.
Then he backtracks and leans back to peek his head in through the door at Pidge who was wiping her tears and sitting on the bed.
"Wait is that why you're all upset?" Lance asks. "Because we're out of peanut butter?"
"Yeah." Pidge says and laughs a bit. "I know it's dumb but these babies are making me crazy." She says and rubs her belly. "I think they get that from you."
"Well there are my genes in action right there then." Lance says and Pidge laughs.
Lance laughs too and comes back into the room and scoops up his petit wife in his arms. Pidge blushed in Lance's hold, she could never get over how tall she felt whenever he held her in his arms. He set her back down on the bed and pulled the blankets over her to tuck her in.
"Get some sleep pigeon." He says and kisses her forehead. "I'll go get you some peanut butter from the Garrison supermarket."
"Thanks Lance. You're the best husband ever." Pidge mumbles before cuddling one of her trash aliens who made a light squeaking noise as she pulled it to her chest.
"And now I'm here." Lance says with a yawn and he cracks his neck. "What brings you by at this ungodly hour?"
"Similar situation." Keith says, his voice still gruff and husky from sleep as he covers a yawn with his hand. "'Lura's craving a milkshake and we're out of all the ingredients at my shack so-" He holds up his basket.
"Ah. She really loved those milkshakes Hunk made from Kaltenecker." Lance says. "If you guys ever want some fresh milk just let me know and I can give you a bottle."
"That would be great thanks." Keith says.
"No problem. Anything for our team leader." Lance says and flips the jar of peanut butter in his hand. "Now to get this to Pidge and get to sleep."
Keith lets out an exhale and nods in agreement and the two paladins make their way to the register. Keith paid for his things and then went to the door. He furrowed his brow in confusion as to why Lance was following him. Didn't he have to pay for the peanut butter? Keith stepped out the door and suddenly alarms went off and the cashier and some security guards ran up to them.
"Lance what did you do?" Keith asks.
"Nothing." Lance says as the guards search Keith.
They pull the jar of peanut butter out of his inside jacket pocket and Keith glares at Lance.
"You're the one stealing peanut butter." Lance says matter of factly.
"You little-" Keith growls as the guards handcuff him then he stops when he sees Lance get handcuffed too.
"Hey what did I do?" Lance asks.
"You're with him." The guard says.
"Let's go boys." They say and Keith and Lance groan as they're brought to the security office.
They both sat in chairs in the office, thankful to have their handcuffs off but not so happy to be in the locked room together. Being in this situation wasn't exactly new to Keith. He'd been here many times before for stealing food and Shiro always came to bail him out. He'd stolen before he came to the Garrison too. His foster families that he grew up with didn't always feed him and he didn't have much other choice.
But things were different now. He was a man now. He was a King. He'd never have to resort to crime to support himself again, and neither would his kids. His kids...Allura. His heart sunk when he realized she was probably worried sick about him right now. Pregnant Alteans develop separation anxiety when their partners were away from them longer than three hours. And right now he was pushing two and a half...
"I can't stay in here all morning." Keith says. "I've got to get back to Allura."
"I've got to get back to Pidge." Lance says. "She's probably worried too by now."
"Yes! Take that level 30!" Pidge cheers as she defeats the boss in the 30th level of Killbot Phantasm. "Lance is gonna freak out when he gets back and sees I beat his high-score."
"She's probably looking at my picture in the locket I gave her and crying herself to sleep." Lance says wistfully.
"I highly doubt that." Keith dead pans.
"Oh yeah! Well what do you think Allura's doing?" Lance asks.
"I don't know." Keith says and shrugs. "Sleeping I hope."
"Do you think I put too many bows in his fur?" Allura asks her mice as they judge Kosmo's new look.
She put so many tiny ponytails in him he looked like a giant hedgehog. The mice all held up signs that read "10".
"Yes!" Allura cheers. "Aw..." She pouts when he shakes them all out.
"I've gotta get back to her." Keith says. "You've got something on you that can break us out of here right?"
"Oh wow." Lance says in an offended tone.
"What?" Keith looks confused.
"You think that because I'm from Cuba that I'm probably mixed up with crime and that I've got a screwdriver and a cut piece of coat hanger rod on me somewhere so I can pick locks right?" Lance explains to Keith.
"So you do?" Keith asks cautiously.
"Of course." Lance says casually and reaches inside his jacket. "My brother Marco taught me how to pick locks and I never leave the house without them." He says and pulls them out.
"Sweet let's get out of here." Keith says and claps his hands and stands up.
"Yeah slow down there mullet." Lance says. "What's in it for me?"
"Lance I don't have time for this-" Keith growls.
"I don't care. I'm not gonna waste my family's special techniques on you if I'm not gonna get something out of it." Lance says and crosses his arms and turns away from him.
Keith growls and turns away from Lance. He holds his head in his hand and exhales his frustration so he can think. Patience yields focus. He smirked when got an idea.
"How'd you get here?" Keith asks.
"Shuttle. Why?" Lance asks.
"How'd you like a ride back on the fastest hover bike in existence for our getaway?" Keith suggests and Lance smirks.
"Now you're talking." He says.
Lance picked the lock and the two of them snuck out of the office, careful to avoid security cameras. It wouldn't look good for Voltron's reputation if there was video evidence of two of the paladins, one of them the leader of Voltron and King of New Altea stealing from a supermarket.
But Lance managed to swipe a jar of peanut butter before they snuck past the cashier then made a run for it to the door as he yelled at them and attempted to chase them, but they were long gone in the parking lot by the time he reached the door.
Keith led them over to his bike and Lance smiled.
"Wow. It's been years since I've seen this thing." Lance says. "I think the only time I've seen it is when we saved Shiro all those years ago."
"Yeah?" Keith asks and he nods. "I've made some adjustments since then." Keith says and runs his hand over the tail. "It's a lot faster now that Allura gave me a crystal to put in it for my birthday."
His hand hit the back of the new baby seat that he had attached to the back of it and he smiled and imagined his son or daughter sitting in that seat, goggles strapped on and giggling in delight as he drove them around the desert.
"So where am I gonna sit?" Lance asks and breaks Keith out of his daydream.
Keith looks from Lance to the baby seat and smirks.
"The baby's seat. You could help me it test out to make sure it's secure." Keith says.
Lance frowns at the tiny seat strapped on the back tail of the bike before turning to Keith who had a smug look on his face.
"If you fall off the back and crack your skull open then it'll be much less of a loss than if the prince or princess of New Altea suffers an accident that could have been avoided by a paladin's brave sacrifice for the sake of their safety." Keith says.
"Ha ha very funny." Lance said.
They heard the sirens and stiffened.
"Come on we've gotta go." Keith says and quickly swings into the driver's seat.
Lance got on behind him and Keith floored it and they took off into the desert with Lance screaming from the speed. Every time they approached a rock face or some other sort of natural obstacle Lance was sure they were going to crash and screamed but Keith always expertly maneuvered around it just in time.
"Shut up Lance!" Keith scolded him. "Sound carries out here, you're practically sending up a flare to the cops!"
"They're already on our tail!" Lance informs him.
Keith quickly turned around and cursed under his breath when he saw that Lance was right.
"Alright hang on." Keith says and speeds up and drives towards the cliff.
"Oh no we are not doing this again are we?" Lance asks.
"Yep." Keith says with a smirk and revs the engine and they speed towards the edge.
Lance held onto Keith and screamed as they sailed over the cliff, leaving the Garrison cars in the dust.
Allura stood outside on the porch, looking left and right to see if Keith would be coming back to her soon. She checked her phone and bit her lip when she noticed he hadn't texted her anything since he told her she ran into Lance...She smiled when she got an idea.
Pidge was typing a program on her computer when she felt her phone buzz. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Allura's caller ID.
"Allura?" Pidge asks.
"Hello Pidge." Allura says happily.
"Allura!" Pidge exclaims. "What a surprise! I thought you and Keith were still on New Altea?"
"We were but we came here so we could get away from our busy lives and be in a less stressful environment for the baby." Allura says and rubs her belly and smiles at it. "I'm guessing from your surprise at my call that my husband isn't with you and Lance?"
"No." Pidge says. "I haven't heard anything from Lance since he left to go to the store..."
The Green Paladin instinctively rubbed her baby bump as she began to worry about her husband.
"I'm sure they're fine though." Pidge assures the other expecting mother on the other end. "They've got each other. As much as the two of them butt heads, you can tell how much they care about each other. They won't let anything happen to each other."
"You're right." Allura says. "I should have more faith in them."
"So I'm guessing since you're up at the ass crack of dawn that Altean/Galra/Human hybrid pregnancies lead to cravings too?" Pidge asks.
"It would appear so. Perhaps that's the human part. Aren't I lucky in the gene pool with this one?" Allura jokes and the two girls laugh.
"Well at least you've only got one." Pidge says.
"I got a two for one deal with the stork which means twice the agony." Pidge complains. "And I'm twice as big! I'm as far along as you and I already can't see my feet!"
Allura looked down and giggled as she looked at her toes as she wiggled them.
"Oh that sounds awful dear. But it'll all be worth it once they're born right?" Allura asks.
"I'm sure it will be." Pidge says. "But honestly I can't wait until all of the excitement is over. Lance is ecstatic over it and I love watching him get all excited and happy but his whole family's just as crazy about the twins and have been coming over and poking my stomach and drowning me in old baby clothes and family heirlooms with family traditions and legends behind them."
She turned in her chair and frowned at the quilted blanket that was folded at the end of their Queen sized bed.
"That goddamn baby-maker did it's job alright. And doubled the reward." She grumbles and rubs her bump.
"What was that?" Allura asks.
"Nothing!" Pidge says cheerfully and turns back to her computer.
"Well I can't say I can relate. The only person who's more excited about this pregnancy than Keith and I is Krolia. She insists on being there with me every step of the way and I'm so grateful for her help. I just wish she wouldn't embarrass my dear Keith so much in front of his council leaders and Generals with stories from when he was a baby. He has a short enough fuse as it is, we don't need anything extra setting him off." Allura says. "I hope our daughter didn't inherit his temper." She says to herself.
"Daughter?" Pidge asks. "You know the baby's gender?"
"Oh no!" Allura says and covers her mouth. "I really need to be more careful with that. It's supposed to be a secret. Keith wants to keep the gender a surprise but two movements ago I just couldn't help myself and I used my powers to read the gender of our baby through it's quintessence."
"You can do that?" Pidge asks in amazement.
"Yes." Allura says. "I can do it for you if you'd like. I could come over and we could have a girls night, like we used to do on the Atlas before we both got married and the team split up."
"Sushi, pizza, cheesy romantic comedies, and gossiping about our idiot husbands sounds great." Pidge says and they both laugh. "I like knowing what to expect, but Lance wants to be surprised too. So if you want to come over to visit and then give my babies a reading or whatever that would be great! Just don't tell Lance that's what we're doing."
"Of course not." Allura says. "It'll be our secret."
"Hey the guys just showed up on Keith's bike!" Pidge says.
"Oh thank goodness!" Allura exclaims and presses her hand to her chest as relief washes over her. "Tell Keith to get back to me as soon as he can. He had me worried sick and I really want that milkshake."
"Will do. I'll talk to you later." Pidge says and the girls say their goodbyes and hang up as Pidge gets off her seat and runs down the stairs.
Keith slowed to a halt and parked in front of Pidge and Lance's house. They lived in a nice little suburban neighborhood that housed a lot of Garrison families. Lance swayed a bit as he got off the bike, still dizzy from the ride.
"Why do you always have to pick the most difficult routes when you're driving?" Lance asks.
"Less chance of cops following us." Keith says simply.
"Yeah, about that." Lance says and looks at Keith seriously. "We're in agreement that we're not telling our wives about this right?"
"Oh hell no!" Keith says. "Allura would steal my knife and try to stab me with it if she found out what we did tonight."
"I'd have to sleep on the couch with one eye open." Lance says. "Pidge is capable of a lot more than most people think." He says and shudders in fear.
"Don't worry man. It's our secret." He says.
Lance nods and the two of them fist bump.
"There's my flirty robot!" Pidge yells from the front door.
She runs down the path and hugs Lance tight. He hugs her back and spins her around, relieved to be holding her in his arms after seeing his life flash before his eyes 20 times on the ride home.
"Where's my peanut butter?" She asks after he sets her down.
"Right here m'lady." Lance says proudly and gets on one knee and presents the jar to her.
She squeals in delight and bounces on her feet.
"Hey shut it twerp!" One of their neighbors shouts from his window. "I'm trying to sleep here!"
"And I'm constantly providing nutrients and energy to not one but two developing human beings having a boxing match in my uterus!" Pidge shouts back. "So shut your damn window and shut the hell up!"
Keith and Lance's jaws were on the floor. Pidge turned back around to Lance smiling brightly like she wasn't a terrifying little gremlin a second ago.
"Thank you so much Lance. You're the love of my life!" She says dreamily.
"Aw pigeon you flatter me-" His face falls when he sees her snuggling the peanut butter against her cheek. "Oh."
Keith laughed and Lance shot him a glare.
"Don't you have a milkshake to make Dairy Queen?" Lance teases and Keith frowns from the nickname.
"Oh yeah Allura just called me!" Pidge says. "She's really worried about you. You should get back to her ASAP."
"Alright then I won't waste any time, I'm gonna floor it all the way home." Keith says. "Thanks Pidge!"
"No problem!" She says and gives him a thumbs off as he speeds off down their street and back towards the desert.
"Alright now that you've got your peanut butter can I go to sleep?" Lance asks and yawns as they come back inside their house.
"Aw are you really tired?" Pidge asks. "Because I was gonna give you something in return for getting me my peanut butter."
"What do you want to give me?" Lance asks and yawns.
"It's a surprise." Pidge says and goes up the stairs. "But if you want a hint it involves us taking our clothes off."
Lance was wide awake now and so was his cock.
"Well that's one huge hint." Lance says and quickly follows her up the stairs.
"And that's a huge boner." Pidge adds. "Let me take care of that for you."
"Oh with pleasure my fair scientist." Lance says dramatically and she giggles as he scoops her up bridal style and kisses her as he carries her into their bedroom.
Allura traced drawings into the sand with a stick as she sat on the porch and waited for her beloved. Her ears perked when she heard an engine and she gasped in delight when she saw Keith's bike zooming across the open desert towards the shack. He slowed it to a stop in front of the porch and smiled at her.
"Honey, I'm ho-" Keith gets cut off by his wife throwing her arms around him and kissing him.
"Oh darling you were gone for so long! You had me so worried..." She says.
"I'm sorry." Keith says and holds her chin with his fingers. "I know I shouldn't leave you alone for so long. But hey, I got the stuff for your milkshake." He says and holds up the bag.
"That's wonderful my love." Allura says and takes the bag from him. "But... you were gone so long that I'm afraid the craving passed..." She says and smiles sheepishly.
The color drained from Keith's face and he slumped forward and hit his head on the handlebars of his bike. All of that work for nothing...
"Don't worry." She says and sets the bag down. "I'm actually craving something else right now." She says.
He groans and sits back up.
"What is it now?" Keith whines.
His eyes widen and his demeanor changes when Allura quickly mounts his bike and straddles him on the driver's seat and wraps her arms loosely around his neck before bringing him in for a passionate kiss.
"You." She breathes against his lips and runs her finger down them before tugging at the strings of his sweatpants to loosen them.
He looks down at his crotch then back up at her seductive eyes.
"Oh..." He says in a low baritone and smirks. "Well I don't think satisfying that craving will take long at all."
Allura giggled and made out with him as the sun rose behind them.
Lance woke up at around noon feeling well rested and refreshed from his midnight success. He turned away from the window to see his wife only to frown when he noticed she wasn't there. He got out of bed and put on some underwear and pants on and was just zipping up his fly as he reached the top of the stairs and looked down and saw his wife. She was glaring at him with her arms crossed and she was tapping her foot impatiently.
"Mi corazón?" He asks and comes down the stairs and his face pales when he sees the police officers standing in their door behind her.
He looked between their stoic expressions and his wife's angry one and wasn't sure which one scared him more. The growl from the small tawny haired girl in front of him made that decision quite clear.
"Mi querida paloma. (My dearest pigeon)." Lance says and smiles. "I can explain."
Keith was currently wiping down the engine of his bike, trying his best to get as much sand and rocks out of it as possible to keep it running smoothly should he need it again. He heard a door open and footsteps enter the garage.
"'Lura is that you?" He asks.
He peeked out from under the bike and noticed Allura's light pink flats and rolled back out from under the bike.
"Hey princess what's-" His eyes widen when he sees the police officers standing next to her.
She crossed her arms and frowned at him. He gulped and gave her an innocent smile.
"I can explain." He says in the smoothest voice he can manage while rubbing the back of his neck, hoping to use his charm to get on his wife's good side.
"You certainly will!" Both women exclaim to their husbands.
Both of the men flinched and knew that there was no way they were getting out of this one.
That night Lance texted Keith a picture of him and Bae Bae on the couch.
Got caught. Now I'm in the doghouse. Lance texted.
Keith sighed and held up his phone and snapped a quick picture of him and Kosmo cuddled on the couch together before looking back at his wife who had the whole pull out bed to herself and was sleeping peacefully with her mice curled up on the pillow around her head.
Ditto. He replied.
Keith called him and Lance answered.
"So much for keeping secrets." Keith says.
"Yeah, I'll say." Lance says with a slight anger in his voice. "Why did we have to marry such smart women?"
"Because they're the best things that have ever happened to us." Keith says and looks over at Allura. "They're so smart, strong, and sexy. The strongest of the paladins honestly. How could anyone not fall for them?"
Allura smiled in her sleep and Keith did as well, happy that she heard him.
"Yeah." Lance says thoughtfully.
He thinks about how Pidge had basically had him wrapped around her finger from day one without him realizing it until after the war. He heard her coming down the stairs and perked up.
"I've gotta go." Lance says. "Goodnight mullet."
"Night sharpshooter." Keith says before Lance hangs up.
Pidge walked into the living room with Bae Bae and one of her trash aliens floating by her head.
"The babies are restless." Pidge says and rubs her belly. "I think they miss having you in the bed with them."
Lance smiled and got off the couch and knelt in front of his wife so he was eye level with her stomach. Pidge blushed as Lance whispered sweet things to his unborn children in Spanish. She didn't know much of what he was saying, only being able to pick up on one or two words. But the sentiment was evident in the tone of his voice. Lance placed a kiss to each of the places on her bump that he felt a kick and she caved.
"You can come to bed if you want." She says. "I can't stay mad at you. Especially when it was clearly all Keith's fault."
"Thanks Katie. I love you." He says.
"I love you too." She says and shares a kiss with him before they head upstairs to bed.
"That was very sweet what you said about me darling." Allura says sleepily and stretches in the bed.
"I only speak the truth my desert flower." Keith says and Allura giggles.
"You're such a sweet talker." She sighs dreamily. "But those romantic lines aren't going to get you back into this bed tonight."
"What!?" Keith exclaims and sits up on the couch, making Kosmo teleport off of him. "But you love it when I get all cheesy and romantic." He pouts.
"I do." Allura says. "Just not after I have to pay a fine of $200 dollars to keep you out of jail, and loosen my top to keep them from leaking this story to the news and giving Voltron bad press."
"You used your tits to save the team?" Keith asks in disbelief.
Allura shrugged and played with the bow at the top of her nightie.
"I have very nice boobs." Allura says proudly.
"Oh I know you do." Keith says in a husky voice and licks his lower lip.
Allura giggled and Kosmo teleported onto the bed and snuggled against her and she rested her head on his fur and settled down to go to sleep.
"Wait my wolf that you hate gets to sleep on the bed but not me?" Keith exclaims in utter shock.
"I don't hate him much anymore." Allura says. "And besides, he makes an excellent pillow. And he doesn't get arrested. Even if it was all Lance's fault."
Keith sighed and slumped his shoulders.
"How long do I have to stay on the couch?" He asks.
"Until you stop pulling illegal and dangerous stunts." Allura says.
Keith scoffs and runs his hand through his hair.
"Well in that case I'll never make it back to the bed." Keith says.
"What a pity then." Allura says. "Goodnight my starry knight." She says and blows him a kiss from the bed.
"Goodnight my moon princess." He says and passes her one in return before flopping back down onto the couch.
He wasn't worried about his fate of being doomed to the couch. Allura may be one of the most stubborn girls he's ever met, but he knew a few secrets and surprises that would surely get him back in the bed in no time.
Although he and Lance really should stop being so reckless. They did have kids to think about now after all...
A/N: And that's going to be coming tomorrow for the Day 2 prompt: Parenthood/Youth :)
