Hehe I just decided to post more lol. But anything from here? I know what I'm going to write from the last one, so that'll be good.

Also thank you to all of your kind comments! Y'all make my heart swell.

PennySparker:Yes, yes you have, and I deeply appreciate everytime you say it! Thank you!

CaptainSteve1: Yay! Glad you think so! And thank you for the compliment! I never forget the sweet words.

Nuppa Nuppa: Aww indeed. Honestly they're all super sweet

Chris caught himself dozing, so to keep himself awake, for just a little while longer, he decided to get up and get a glass of water.

He stepped into the dark kitchen, grabbing a cup from the cabinets and filling it in the sink. He stood back, taking a couple sips before looking out into the darkened living room.

He didn't notice anyone there until he heard the soft mews of the baby. And that's when he saw Zane, as if he appeared out of nowhere, holding the baby close to his chest, eyes closed.

Zane must have felt his gaze because he opened an eye to see Chris standing there under the small lighted area of the kitchen. He rubbed his son's back a couple times, trying to soothe him.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there."

"Don't worry about it."

"Long night?"

"Ah, he just appears to be more of a little night owl." Zane said, quietly.

"Yeah, Pix used to tell me that she'd be awake all night because he wouldn't stop kicking, or...something like that. So, it seems fitting to me." Chris responded.

"He was just beginning to cry, and I didn't want to wake Pixal, so I just wanted to bring him out here."

Pixal had been pretty tired recently, Chris noticed. After all, she was always taking care of Ezra. Everytime he cried, she was there. Feeding, burping, changing, cuddling. No wonder she was so worn out. Crazy thing was, the kid was barely two weeks old.

"I think you forget I have a son coming in a few months."

"Yo Zane, you listening there buddy?"

Nya caught herself looking at her reflection in the mirror...again.

She looked at herself before eyeing her side view. Baby bump was definitely there. As she put a hand on her belly, she eyed her chest and her waist, and slowly felt herself...frown.

She took a seat on the bed. She was interrupted from her thoughts as soon as her fiance walked in.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Oh nothing, just looking at how big I've gotten."

"Pffft, what are you talking about? That's all baby."

Nya stayed quiet.

"You're just as beautiful as ever. Always."

Another large boom rang out below the Bounty into the city.

As Kai suited up, he took the picture pinned to the inside of his gi, and gently unpinned it.

He pulled it out. A picture of his daughter on her first birthday. His daughter who was beginning to smile every time she saw him. His daughter who was just beginning to walk. His daughter who lived everyday in a city prone to attack.

Please be okay.

"Kai! Come on, we have to go!"

Pixal tried not to be bothered by it. But this was high school, what did she expect?"

/ / / / /

"Nya!"

"Hey, Jay."

Jay immediately sat next to her cot.

"What happened out there? Are you okay? Zane told me you tried to use your powers - and you, you just collapsed!"

Nya groaned. He was being too loud. It only made her head hurt more. She reached out for his hand.

"I'm alright." She closed her eyes. "Just...dehydrated. And...it might be more difficult to use my powers."

Jay looked over to the IV in her left arm, taking her right hand into his. He was about to ask why.

"Pixal...scanned me. It's not that I overexerted myself. I didn't have enough energy in me."

"Nya, I'm starting to think you might be really sick. You've been sleeping for days, and now you don't have the energy you need! We should take you to see-"

"Jay."

"It's because I'm pregnant. This baby is taking a lot out of me."

"W-what?"

She squeezed his hand.

"W-we're going to have a baby?"

/ / / / /

Pixal's eyes began to flutter close. She rubbed circles on her baby's back, who was joyfully sleeping on her skin, belly full from her feeding.

The sun was beginning to set, casting shadows into the room.

Keeping herself awake, she began to fix his little socks. She could smell his sweet scent.

She was tired. Her body sore from the carrying, the birth.

Zane, who was packing some of her things, walked over to her.

"You should rest," he said, speaking softly, "I'll be here."

Pixal nodded sleepily as Zane took the baby from her arms. She let herself relax, drifting off into the evening.

/ / / / /

Zane couldn't take his eyes off of him.

Ezra was clad in the hospital jumper, tiny hands covered in mittens, little white socks adorning his feet.

Having just been born, he was new. Soft and pink, with light strands of hair on his head. A bright blue band was attached to his ankle.

BABY JULIEN

He couldn't believe it. This baby, this little baby, was theirs.

"Who's going to love me now?!"

"Seliel, what are you talking about?"

/ / / / /

"Emma! Emma wait!"

"You promised! You promised you would be there!"

/ / / / /

He felt like he was going to vomit.

How was he going to do this alone?
