Disclaimers: Okay… 10th chapter. I'm really sorry the last chapter was so hard to read. Word wasn't working on my computer and then the file didn't want to convert from Rich Text to Doc. So… you might have to survive it until I can figure how to do it… I might have to do a whole copy and paste thing. *sigh* That's what I really don't want to do. Anyway… This chapter you can kill me for… Sek totally breaks the Tallest. *straps herself up on a wall* Okay…you can throw knives now… , Many… Many knives. *ow* I AM NOT PAIRING MYSELF WITH RED! DON'T YOU DARE EVEN SAY IT! I will kill you if you ask it.
Sek smiled as she walked down the hall. Red was out of the way and all she needed to do now was tell Purple she was pregnant with Red's child… she could feel in her body that she was indeed pregnant. She smiled and almost cradled her stomach. It would be painful giving birth to a child. She remembered not being born from a tube like *normal* Irkens were. It made her mad that she would never be counted as normal on an Irken scale. She sighed and walked into Purple's room and she gasped at the sight.
Purple stood over a cowering Red, who seemed to be clutching his arm and blood was seeping down his cheek from a cut on his forehead. Purple relaxed his stance a little and turned to Sek, whose hand was still on her stomach. It was already bloating with the coming of a child.
"You…" Purple hissed glaring at the expecting woman.
"Aww, Pur. Wuhssa matter?" Sek asked with a sickly sweet smile. He glared daggers at her and Red looked over at her from the ground with a look of helplessness in his eyes. Sek mocked gasped.
"Oooh, did I do something wrong? I'm sowwy." She said like a two year old. Purple stalked over to her, almost shaking the whole ship as he did so.
"Why?" He asked his voice cracking. Sek thought for a moment and then leaned really close to Purple's antenna.
"I did it because I liked him better than you." She whispered to him. Purple's jaw dropped and he couldn't believe what he just heard. Sek pulled away from him with a smirk on her face and she crossed her arms across her chest.
"What?" Purple asked getting ready to slap her, hard.
"You heard what I said. He's cuter." Sek said jerking her head in recognition to Red on the floor. Red's cheeks flushed a bit at those words.
"I don't believe that he slept with you on his own will. He loves me to much." Purple growled.
"Oh he must love you a lot to let you beat him like that. Looks like you cut his head and broke his arm. You don't deserve a beauty like that." Sek said with the utmost calm.
"How dare you say something like that? To your rulers!" Purple said in horror. Sek sniggered, chuckled and then began to laugh loudly.
"Rulers? Oh, puh-lease. Weren't you the one pointing out my constitutional right to the freedom of choice? *My* constitutional right?" Sek said. Purple's face went pale. He had forgotten he said that. She wasn't supposed to remember that.
"I can kill you both, and no one would care. You have no power over me… or my soon to be born child. I will kill you and then my child will rule the Irken Empire with an iron fist!" She said with a maniacal cackle.
"Don't you mean our child?" Red asked struggling to his feet. Sek looked over at him and smiled.
"Yes. Our *love* child." Sek said smiling and helping him over. Purple looked at the pair helplessly.
"Red… You're not serious… are you?" Purple said with a small whine in his voice.
"What if I am Purple? She won't abuse me. I know this." Red said with high confidence. A tear ran down Purple's face.
"I do love you. I always will… please don't destroy that, Red." Purple said holding out a claw.
"I'm sorry Purple. I have a baby coming. You can't help me anymore. I'm sorry." Red said walking off with Sek toward the Medical Center.
"I'm sorry…" Purple said collapsing to the ground and sobbing.
~9 months later…~
After nine months of measuring, searching for odd foods, midnight Voot rides, and vows of love, Sek had finally gone into labor.
"RED!" She screamed from the delivery room of the remodeled Medical Center. I rushed into see what the matter was, and I saw the beauty of a new child. The small, nekked Irken began to cry as a young human baby would. It was a boy with deep crimson eyes. She handed him over to me and smiled.
"What are we going to name him, Red?" Sek asked me, sweat covering her face bits of her human hair clumped up. Red thought for a moment.
"A name?" Red whispered as the little Irken grasped one of Red's claws with his tiny, three-fingered hand. Red turned to Sek.
"Do you have any ideas?" He asked her. His mind was blank.
"Cyle (A/N: Kyle…)." She said with a smile.
"I like it… Cyle." Red smiled and sat on the edge of the bed holding the tiny Irken in his arms. He handed Cyle over to his mother who smiled with pride. Red noticed she seemed to glow… and Red remembered Purple having that same glow all the time. Red leaned over and kissed Sek's forehead.
"I'll be back in a little bit. Maybe a day at the least…" He said running off before she could ask any questions. He was going to see Purple and try to apologize one more time.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Red walked right up to Purple's door. It was the door to the room that they had once shared and made love in. Red knocked daintily. The door opened with a quiet swoosh. All the lights were off except for a small telescreen playing Red's last words on it before he walked away with Sek.
"Purple?" Red called softly into the darkness. "Purple, I want to talk to you." Red called again.
"You want to talk now? After you walked out…" A voice came back to him. "I heard your wife just had a baby. You should tend to it." The voice said.
"Purple, I never got married to her. I could leave her and it would be her child… Please hear me out just this once. I promise I'll leave after this." Red said with confidence. The screen went off and lights went off causing Red to shade his eyes from the bright light. Purple stood before him, dark green scars and white bandages all over his arms.
"What do you want, Red? Have you come to ruin my life? Make me kill myself? Haven't had enough of me crying in front of you?" Purple asked. Half of his Tallest skirt seemed to be ripped away.
"I want to try apologizing one more time…" Red said rubbing one arm with the other. "Without being abused." Red finished. Purple crashed down on the bed and looked ready to listen.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know that Sek was Sek… she put something in the breakfast that morning that made her look and sound like you until it wore off… I felt so bad when I looked over and saw her by my side instead of you. I knew that I had done something terribly wrong and when I tried to explain…" He ran an absent claw over the scar on his head. (A/N: No, it doesn't look like a lightning bolt.)
"All I've been doing the last nine months was taking care of Sek, making sure she was happy. I think it worked. She had the baby, a healthy baby boy. His name is Cyle…" Red paused to see what Purple's reaction was. Purple was sitting there staring at him, like almost staring through him to sense the truth in his story.
"Do you believe me?" Red asked meekly. Purple stood up and walked toward him.
"Would you be willing to be your new child on that story…" Purple paused for a moment.
"On if it was true or false?" Red asked with a small smile.
"If it's true, you and I will raise the baby. If it's false, then you'll leave here with not a second look back. What's the verdict?" Purple asked him.
"That story is 100%... True." Red said with a teary smile. Purple smiled and then burst into tears and ran into Red's arms.
"I missed you so much." Purple sobbed into Red's shoulder.
"I couldn't love her as much as I love you… ever." Red said soothing Purple. Purple kissed Red's cheek. Red smiled and captured Purple's lips with his own. They looked into each other's eyes and Purple nodded slightly and Red set him down and they walked over to the bed and sat each other down.
"Will you ever love me again?" Red asked Purple.
"I never stopped loving you." Purple replied. Purple kissed Red deeply and gently laid him down on the bed.
"One time before a baby?" Purple asked. Red simply nodded.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Red awoke next to Purple, who was snoring almost silently. Red leaned over and kissed his cheek. Purple opened his eyes and yawned.
"Thank you…" Purple said kissing Red's lips softly. Red nodded in welcome.
"Are you going to leave?" Purple asked him. Red smiled maliciously and straddled Purple's hips.
"Do you really want a kid?" Red asked him with the same smile. Purple thought for a moment.
"No… You're too much fun to give up for a kid." Purple said leaning up and kissing him and then began giggling as Red began to tickle his stomach.
"Forever?" Red asked as he stopped tickling.
"Forever." Purple agreed.
Kess: MWAH! I fixed it! RedxPurple FOREVER! I did it! MWAHAHAHAHA! But this might be one of the last chapters. Sorry… I'm getting tired of writing it. But I might do a sequel if you guys like this one a lot! But this one won't be done for at least 2 more chapters! REVIEW POSITIVLY!
