Author's note: Again I apologize for the long delay, but I finished the story as I promised I would. I also apologize if this chapter seems a bit rushed. Oh, and I'd also like to set the record straight. This story is NOT a Star Fox/Resident Evil crossover, okay? It's mostly based on The Zombie Survival Guide. (An actual book written by Max Brooks) The only relation to the Resident Evil series in this story is the ONE TIME appearance of Jill, Chris, and Barry. THAT IS IT. Okay, now that my rant is over, enjoy the last chapter.

Chapter 13 - The Long Awaited Birth

---

As the alarm clock next to Wolf's bed went off, Wolf drowsily reached for it. Then he sprang awake when he noticed a familiar looking hand hitting the off button.

"Morning Luv."

Sarah was in bed next to him.

"Sarah!"

"Miss me?"

Wolf responded by throwing his arms around her and kissing her lips.

"I'll take that as a yes." Sarah said.

Wolf could tell from the embrace, that Sarah was completely nude.

"How long have you been here?" he asked.

"Not long enough."

Wolf had longed for another chance to enjoy this kind of moment. There were few things he enjoyed more than feeling her arms around him, her hands moving up and down his back, her feet rubbing against his, and his hand stroking her tail. Suddenly, Kyle walked in.

"Hey, Wolf," he said, "Peppy's making... Oh! Sorry, Sarah! I didn't hear you come in."

"Sorry, old habits." Sarah replied, covering up.

"Well, anyway," Kyle continued, "Peppy's making pancakes for breakfast. They should be ready pretty soon. Just wanted to let you know."

"Thanks, Kyle." Wolf said.

Kyle left the room.

"So, want to get ready for breakfast, then?" Sarah asked.

Wolf briefly thought about it.

"I think I can wait just a few more minutes, if you know what I mean."

---

Sarah and Wolf walked into the kitchen, where the rest of the team was sitting at the table, eating breakfast. Krystal had just finished feeding Ray at the same time.

"Morning, Wolf." Fox said, "And welcome back, Sarah."

"Good to be back." she said, picking up Ray, "Hey, you! Did you miss Mommy?"

Sarah kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you for taking care of him for me." she said to Krystal.

"Oh, no problem. Just glad I could help with something around here."

"Want me to put some more pancakes on the griddle, Wolf?" Peppy asked.

"Yes, please." Wolf replied, "I'll have three."

"Same here." said Sarah.

"Okay, comin' right up."

After breakfast, everyone went to the command post, where they awaited General Pepper's message.

"Well, Star Fox," Pepper said, "I don't know about you, but I'm glad this is finally over with."

"Not as much as we are." said Wolf.

Fox nodded.

"By the way, General, did you know that the vaccine can also turn zombies into living beings again?" he asked.

"You mean you didn't know? Lieutenant, didn't you tell them?"

"...No, sir." Eva replied, "In fact... I was nevertold about that either."

"Well, at any rate, you have our undying gratitude. I'm transferring your reward as we speak. Pepper out."

"Well team," Fox said, "I'd say this all went quite well. Wouldn't you agree?"

Everyone nodded.

"Yeah." Falco responded, "Pretty nice work if you can get it."

Everyone sat in the entertainment room, awaiting the arrival of Fox and Krystal's baby. Peppy and Wolf were playing an electronic space battle board game, while Slippy and Falco watched. Sarah was on the couch watching and playing with Ray. Wolf and Peppy each had only one ship left, and both of them were two hits away from destruction. Wolf punched in the coordinates for his next attack and pressed the fire button. There was the sound of laser fire, followed by an explosion.

"X-wing hit!" the computer's voice said.

Peppy punched in another set of coordinates and pressed the fire button. The laser fire was again followed by an explosion.

"TIE interceptor hit!"

"No matter." Wolf said, "I have you now."

Wolf punched in a set of coordinates and pressed the fire button. But to his surprise, the laser fire was followed by silence. He missed.

"What?"

"Yahoo!"

Peppy then entered another set of coordinates and fired, resulting in another hit. The computer played the sound of a pilot shouting "Yee-haw!" before playing a second explosion.

"Target: TIE interceptor destroyed!" it said.

"Looks like I still got it." Peppy chuckled, "But you're getting better. One more hit and you would've gotten me."

"Next time." Wolf said, turning off the game and shaking Peppy's hand.

Then everyone looked up as the door opened. General Pepper, Lieutenant Eva, Bill, and Katt were standing in the doorway.

"Sorry we're late." Pepper said.

"Is it a boy or girl?" asked Bill.

"We don't know." said Slippy, "The baby hasn't arrived yet."

Finally, after a few minutes, the door opened again. Fox walked in, holding a bundle of blankets.

"Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the newest member of the McCloud family, Vixy McCloud."

Fox lifted the blanket, revealing his daughter's face.

"Well, I guess you win then." Bill said to Katt, handing her five credits.

"So you named her after your mother, eh?" said Pepper, "How thoughtful."

As the others continued admiring Vixy, Kyle walked into the room.

"Hi, Kyle." said Eva.

"Oh, hello again, Eva." Kyle said, grinning.

"Ah, Kyle." General Pepper said, "I'm glad you're here. Fox and I talked earlier today and Lieutenant Eva has something for you."

Eva held out a small box and opened it. Inside was a medal.

"Thanks to your help," Pepper continued, "our scientists were able to find a cure for the Solanum virus, thereby saving the lives of hundreds of civilians and soldiers. Therefore, it is my pleasure to award you with this Medal of Honor."

Kyle lowered his head as Eva placed the medal around his neck. He then looked up and winked at Eva.

"Thank you, General." he said, shaking Pepper's hand.

Kyle and Eva hugged each other, then Kyle turned to face Fox and Eva turned to face Pepper.

"Go ahead, Kyle." Fox said.

"You too, Lieutenant." Pepper added.

Then Pepper and Fox both said, "That's an order."

"Yes, sir!" Kyle and Eva said together.

Then they kissed.

Fox and Wolf walked into the infirmary, each of them carrying his child. Kyle watched as Fox put Vixy; who was now two weeks old, in one of the medical beds and Wolf put Ray in the one next to hers.

"We've come a long way, haven't we?" Fox asked.

"I'll say." Wolf replied, "I still can't believe I was about to kill myself before I met up with you and Kyle on that day."

"Yeah, that would've… WHAT?"

"You never told Fox about that, did you?" Kyle asked.

"No, I… guess I didn't. Well, thankfully, I caught Kyle's scent right before I could pull the trigger."

"Well, that's a relief." said Fox, "I'd hate to think about how things would've gone if you weren't around to help us."

"You know," Kyle said, "despite everything, fighting the zombies was kind of fun."

"Yeah. I agree." Wolf replied, "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Kyle nodded. Then they both raced to the entertainment room. Fox grinned and shook his head.

"I wonder if they'll ever grow out of that game." he said to himself.

He kissed Vixy's forehead and stroked the fur on her head. Then just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a cold chill in the air. It didn't take him long to realize why.

"Hi, Dad." he said, turning to face his father's spirit.

James grinned.

"Hello again, Son."

James looked down at Vixy.

"So you're my new granddaughter." he said, "Pleased to meet you."

He then sighed.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Fox asked.

"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I cannot stay much longer. And this is the last time I can visit you."

"...Oh."

"You won't be seeing me again until it's your time. Take care of yourself and your family. I love you, Son."

"I love you too, Dad."

Fox closed his eyes and shared one last hug with James. When Fox opened his eyes again, James was gone. Sighing, he looked down at the floor until he felt Krystal's hand on his shoulder.

"Fox, you alright?" she asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Fox replied, "Come on, let's go to bed."

Fox and Krystal left the infirmary and went to their bedroom.

"How are you feeling?" Fox asked Krystal, as they climbed into bed.

"Much better now thatit's all over."

"The pregnancy or the zombie infestation?"

"Yes."

Krystal kissed Fox on the cheek and went to sleep. Fox smirked and turned off the light.

"Good night, Krystal." he said softly.

Just before Fox went to sleep, he looked up at the ceiling and said, "Goodbye, Dad."

(I hope you enjoyed this story. Maybe I'll make a special edition of it, like I did with the two previous ones, but I doubt it. My original intention was to get it right the first time. I don't know if I'll make any more Star Fox stories, but I am working on a Lion King story and I have at least one Sonic story planned. Hope you like 'em. Bye.)
