I decided to be generous by kicking off this year with the first chapter taking place after the Spirit Realm Army Arc. Hope you like it :)

Following the celebrations of the China nations' victory against the Spirit Realm Army, let's say that many weddings happened. We got Po and Tigress, Kasaiori and Mantis, Crane and Viper, Monkey and Mizufusen, but also Toka and Alena and Koji and Suya. The two formers left for Koji's hometown, the Fagamalo Island, for the traditional wedding which didn't had that much of differences from a normal one except that they had to put a paint drawing on each other to testify their love. Koji putted a purple Samoan drawing on Suya's right hip while the snowy owl putted a pink flower drawing on her mate's chest. This officially sealed their love after they kissed.

One day, after the wedding, Koji and Suya went to see the tribe's doctor to make sure they didn't caught any illness. Koji went first; the doc checked his breathing, eyes, and body. "Another clean bill of health for you, Koji." He said with a smile

"That's my Koji, he knows how to take care of himself." Rikki chuckled and patted his son's back.

Then came Suya's turn. She chuckled slightly as the doc ran his fingers across her stomach. Suddenly, he paused, moved his finger back and circled Suya's lower stomach. He felt something hard. "Aue loʻu atua..." He whispered.

"What is it, doc?" Koji asked worryingly. "Is something wrong with Suya?"

"Quite the opposite actually." He answered with a smile. "Suya is pregnant!"

"She is?!" Koji gasped in surprise.

"I am?!" Suya stepped back in surprise.

"Yes she is!" The doc said with an happy smile.

"Wow! Way to go, Koji!" Rikki said. "I didn't knew you had it in you."

Koji grinned bashfully. Since he and Suya had been together, they had quite a few...exciting nights.

"How many am I gonna have? And are they boys or girls?" Suya asked, barely containing her excitation.

"I sensed only one. As for its gender, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the childbirth to know." The doc answered. "In the mean time, I strongly recommend you to spend a lot of time at bed and eat a lot to feed the kid."

Suya nodded as Koji came inside her and putted his hands on her belly, feeling his kid.

The couple sent a message to all their friends about her current situation and needless to say that everyone was surprised, but they all congratulated her. The tribe made a special nest for Suya to rest in and brought her a lot of food.

"This is a bit weird." She said as she wasn't used to lay in a bed and being treated like this.

"I'm sure you'll get used to it." Koji shrugged. "So...it's really happening. We're gonna be parents."

"We sure are." Suya nodded.

"I mean, I know it's the best thing that can happen to a couple, but still..." Koji rambled. "Do you think we're...y'know, ready?"

"Of course we are." Suya assured him. "It's all instinct, like flying."

"Okay." Koji nodded and scratched the back of his head.

"You'll be fine, Koji." Suya stroked his cheek with her wing. "A beetle as sweet and caring as you can only be a good father. I know it."

"Thanks, Suya." Koji took both of Suya's wings in his hands. "And I'm sure you'll be an amazing mother."

"Thanks, sweetie." Suya kissed his cheek before they rubbed her belly that started getting round.

Over the next weeks, most of the couple's friends came to visit them and offered them gifts along with a few pats to the snowy owl's belly. Neyo even accepted to stay as he studied childbirth for many days and accepted to make sure everything would go fine. Though he refused the tribe's offer to wear their tribal clothes.

Except that, things were pretty uneventful. Then, one day, as evening fell, Suya felt a twinge of pain.

"Ah!" She seethed.

"What's wrong?" Koji asked.

"I think I'm about to lay!" She panicked.

Koji widened his eyes in shock. "Neyo! Doc! Dad! Come!" He shouted as they all rushed at them.

"Oh my god! The kid is coming!" Rikki panicked.

Suya cried out in pain as the process started.

"Are you okay?" Koji asked, holding her wing in his hands.

"Am I okay?" She spat. "DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THIS THING IS?! OF COURSE I'M NOT OKAY!" She screeched.

"S-Sorry I asked." Koji gulped.

Suya's temper suddenly faded. "I'm sorry, Koji." She panted. "I didn't mean to yell. It just hurts so much!"

It was then decided to everyone should get out except Neyo as he was the best suited to make sure she was alright. Koji waited nervously outside with his father trying calm him down. Suddenly, they heard what sounded like a baby crying and Suya ceased screaming. This caused him to widen his eyes and then enter in the hut to see Neyo smiling as Suya, who looked very tired, was holding a little something in her wings.

It was what looked like a miniature version of Koji except that its exoskeleton was snow white like Suya's feathers and his toes and fingers were black. The little newborn ceased crying and blinked a few times before opening his eyes which exactly like his mother's. "It's a little boy." Suya said as Koji walked to them with his eyes in awe. "Wanna hold him?"

Koji gently picked the little boy in his hands and he chuckled a lot. "He's beautiful." He mumbled with a smile full of proudness. "He have the same eyes as his mom."

Suya giggled and stroked her son's cheek. "How do you think we should call him?"

Koji though about it and then snapped his fingers. "I know: Mafui'e! It was the name of the beetle who was a demi-god and brought fire to the Samoan people." He explained.

"Mafui'e..." She mumbled before smiling. "I like that name." The whole family shared an hug as Neyo smiled and whipped a tear away. "I saw you, little hedgehog." Suya beamed.

"What? Is it a crime to be happy now that I'm an uncle?" He asked.

Koji laughed before his son fell asleep in his arms. "Welcome to our world, Mafui'e..."

Koji and Suya are now parents! I'm crying again!

But it's true: "Mafui'e" is the name of the demigod who brought fire to the people in Samoan culture. So I though I'd just give that name to our new little warrior :)
