Wander over Yonder Season 3-48

Dominator was hard at work within one of the many workshops inside the Domship. Drilling and loud hammerblows could be heard as sparks shot out lighting up the dim conditions within as well.

A safe distance away outside of the workshop was Wander and the first child Dominator had gifted him.

"Son, what do you think mom is up to in there?" Wander asks the little child in his arms.

Covered in orange fur, this child looked almost entirely like Wander but had the red eyes to match Dominator's. After long consideration, this first son had been named 'Jack'; Wander liked how quick and easy it could be said while Dominator liked that there was a toughness to the name's sound.

THE SON

-=episode title=-

"Son, you wanna knock and check on mom?"

Jack sucks on his pacifier a few times before nodding.

"Great! Let's tip toe gently now" Wander says approaching before the door opened to reveal Dominator making to exit.

"Hey you two. Curious?" Dominator asks wearing a welding mask and protective workshop clothing.

"If it's not too much trouble, Jack and I would like a preview" Wander says.

"No need for a preview. Stroller's done!" Dominator declares pulling out a levitating stroller out of the room.

"Wow!" Wander lets out gazing at the stroller with a color scheme matching the Dombots. "Look Jack! It's your new stroller!" Wander says before sitting Jack down in Dominator's new invention. "So son, how is it? Comfy?"

Jack pulls at the covers in the stroller before lying down atop it and pulling the covers over himself.

"It's like a bed!" Wander learns. "Jack, you look adorable!"

"Leisure Gardens has some nice parks. Wanna take this on a test drive?" Dominator asks.

"Dee, you read my mind" Wander agrees.

Wander and Dominator head for a great big park on Gardenia where they begin a pleasant stroll, Jack snug and secure in the stroller, Wander pushing the stroller along, Dominator following with umbrella for shade.

"This stroller is so easy to push forward" Wander praises.

"Near frictionless" Dominator boasts.

"And Jack looks so happy!" Wander adds spotting Jack sitting up and looking around curiously.

"What a cute baby!", "He looks so much like you", "He's adorable! What's his name?", "He's loving his park stroll, isn't he?" were among the compliments given by other park goers.

"Thank you so very much!", "He's orange like dad and he has his mother's eyes", "You are too kind! His name is Jack", "I'm loving this park stroll too. Like son, like father!" Wander replies.

A butterfly floats by, Jack's eyes following it closely.

"That's a butterfly, Jack. Isn't it pretty?" Wander tutors before he hears a gentle rumbling. "Jack? Was that you?"

"Jack can't suck on that pacifier forever" Dominator reasons. "Break time. Let's picnic under some shade."

Pulling a large picnic blanket out of his hat, Wander lays it out and all three relax atop it.

"So what's on the menu today?" Dominator asks lifting Jack up high for admiration.

"Tomato basil soup with parmesan turkey finger sandwiches" was Wander's reply.

"Not real turkey, right?"

"You know me so well, Dee" Wander admires.

"So soup and sandwich for me and you. What about Jack? Got his baby formula?"

"Actually, I was thinking since there's no milk better than mother's milk, you could try... Breastfeeding..."

Dominator's face turns stoic. "...Will you feed me while I feed Jack?" she asks and moments later, with a light sheet for privacy, Dominator started nursing Jack while Wander helped feed the mother of his child.

"Good?" Wander asks while dipping the finger sandwiches in the soup to feed them to Dominator by hand.

"Yes, very" Dominator compliments. "Cheese and soup. What a combo!"

"...He's not biting is he?"

"He is a bit but he has no teeth so it's nothing" Dominator assures.

In the middle of feeding his wife, Wander stops to admire. The lime green former galactic menace before him was at one time the galaxy's destroyer. Now that life was behind her, she was the mother of his first child now, and was currently feeding their young son. Wander would squeal with joy if not for the proximity of Jack's sensitive ears.

"Ya gotta feed me if I'm gonna feed Jack" Dominator says snapping Wander out of his dreamy stupor.

"Oops! Sorry" Wander giggles. "...It's just you and Jack look so adorable."

Eventually, the soups and sandwiches were done and Jack stopped drinking. Wander started a gentle tapping of Jack's back to induce burping.

"You're good at this parenting thing" Dominator says.

"Thank you!.. I've been reading" Wander whispers as Jack burps. Wander then pulls out a book followed by another book and then some pamphlets after that. He then pulls out another book but not before pulling out a book followed by more books, five volumes of a child psychology series.

"Okay. I get it" Dominator surrenders. "You've got me beat on the parenting... But I bet I know at least one thing kids like."

"What?" Wander asks.

"Fun!" Dominator answers placing Jack in the stroller. "Hey Jack! Check this out" she says pressing a button on the stroller.

At once, a glass dome deploys to surround Jack protectively and rocket boosters extend out of the stroller's rear. Dominator's armor also deploys.

"Hang on tight" Dominator says.

"What!?" Wander lets out before all three lift off and head to space. "Dee! What's going on!?" he asks deploying a bubble for himself.

"Just teaching Jack some more about his stroller" Dominator answers.

All three arrive to a large asteroid field and two laser blasters extend out of the stroller.

"Watch and learn, Jack" Dominator says aiming an arm cannon and blowing up an asteroid into tiny bits.

Jack is left with a broad smile.

"Now you try" Dominator says as a red button presents itself inside the stroller.

Eagerly, Jack presses the red button and his stroller blasts an asteroid to bits. He then laughs while clapping his hands.

"See? He loves it!" Dominator celebrates.

"He loves it!" Wander acclaims as well. "Oh no, he loves it!" he then dismays.

"Don't freak out so much" Dominator says. "These asteroids are just a bunch of rocks. And if they fall down to Gardenia, they can cause serious damage so best to blast 'em now."

"...I suppose you're right, Dee" Wander says watching Jack giggle more from seeing rocks explode. He concludes that Jack inherited many of his looks but also seems to have inherited Dominator's affinity for destruction.

Considering Wander and Dominator's nightly habits, there was no way the WanDom family would stay at three and one day, Dominator arrived back to the Domship with Wander holding another newborn in his arms.

"Look Jack. Come say hi to your baby sister" Wander whispers and Jack approaches to lay eyes on his first sibling who had Dominator's green skin, freckles, and white hair. Unlike Dominator or Jack, the newborn did not have completely red sclera: the sclera were white with the black irises having red rings around them.

THE LUNA

-=episode title=-

"Her name is Luna" Dominator reveals. "Luna, this is your big brother, Jack."

"Son, say 'hi Luna'" Wander orders gently.

"...Hi Luna" Jack finally breaks his intrigued silence.

"Oh, this is too precious~!" Wander squeals. "Photo time! Son, hold your baby sister" he instructs placing Luna in Jack's arms and guiding Jack and Luna towards a living room couch.

On that couch sat Dominator relaxed and looking cool when Wander cuddled up beside her grinning ear to ear. Jack posed with his father looking the least enthused of all while a bright-eyed Luna stared at Dombot Deedee. The family of four were all huddled up comfortably when Deedee snapped a picture.

With a new addition to the WanDom family, one of the burning questions Wander had was what sort of likes Luna would grow to have. To learn this, a little father-daughter quality time was in order. Once Luna was old enough to walk, Wander took his daughter to a small city of greenhouses on the surface of Gardenia.

"Luna, these are greenhouses where lots of yummy fruits and veggies are grown. Fruits and veggies that help feed the people here!" Wander lectures taking Luna into a greenhouse wherein Luna's eyes sweep over all the plant life growing around her. "Do you know what it takes to grow a plant?"

Luna shakes her head.

"Then this is a perfect learning opportunity!" an enthusiastic Wander says fetching two small plant pots, one empty and another containing flowers. "We're going to turn this" he says pointing at the empty pot "into this" he points at the flower-filled pot. "Are ya ready?"

Luna looked back and forth between the two pots before nodding eagerly.

"Great! We start with foundation" Wander says lifting a bag of hearty soil and pouring some into the empty cup. "Next, we plant the seeds into the soil" Wander says placing a few seeds into Luna's palms.

Luna tilts her head at the little pods in her hands.

"These little things, believe it or not, will grow into beautiful flowers if we do things just right" Wander lectures. "Let us plant our seeds just like so" he says guiding Luna's hands into pushing the seeds into the fresh soil. "And finally, let us water our humble seeds."

With watering can ready and Wander's close guidance, Luna sprinkled water on the seed-containing soil.

"And now we wait" Wander says spectating alongside his daughter. During the wait, Wander finds himself admiring the genuine look of curiosity on Luna's face which resembled her mother's nearly-impeccably. "Oh Luna, I'm getting so nostalgic right now! You remind me of your mother during a time when this planet wasn't so full of plant life."

Luna's eyes widen curiously.

"Before you were born, this planet was just about all desert all around" Wander recollects. "That means all there was was dirt" Wander tutors indicating the empty soil in the pot. "But your mother and I and lotsa Dombots helped transform it into what it is today: a planet teeming with life. We did it by planting lots of seeds" Wander says and almost as if on cue, little flower seedlings sprouted out of the pot soil taking Luna by surprise. "And will you look at that? It's the beginnings of our flower! Isn't that great!?"

Luna smiles and nods excitedly.

"What do you say we decorate your room with this pot seedling?" Wander asks and Luna agrees with another nod.

On their way back to the Domship, Wander and Luna cross paths with Flower Deer Blossom and Citrus being tended to and lead by Beeza and some of her assistants.

"Greetings Wander and Luna" Beeza greets.

"Hello!" Wander greets back happily, Luna waving her hand.

"Out for a little father-daughter time I see" Beeza observes with a chuckle.

"That's right!" Wander confirms. "And you? Taking the flower deer for a stroll?"

"We are taking them on tour through some schools" Beeza reveals. "Children are quick to grow quite fond of them. Speaking of school, when might your little one start her first class?"

"Ooh, shouldn't be long" Wander speculates.

While Wander and Beeza engaged in small talk, Luna began a mesmerized stare of Citrus and Blossom. Blossom then locks eyes with Luna for a long while.

"Luna, you like what you see?" Wander asks and Luna nods eagerly. "Beeza, would it be too much trouble if I took pictures of Luna atop Blossom?"

"Not at all."

Wander and Beeza both take copious amounts of pictures of Luna sitting atop Blossom. Then, perhaps emulating the way her father would pull on Sylvia's reins, Luna grabs Blossom's ears and pulls. Blossom lets out what sounded like a battle cry before speeding forwards.

"My baby!" Wander screams in fright as Luna got away riding atop Blossom.

"Hop on!" Beeza orders from atop Citrus before pulling Wander on.

What followed was a chase atop flower deer, a carefree Luna giggling to herself as Blossom under her galloped in between greenhouses. Behind her chased Beeza and Wander riding atop Citrus hurrying to catch up.

"Luna! Please stay calm!" Wander calls out. "Look out!" he then shouts as Blossom charged towards a fence. With mighty kicks, Blossom leaps over the fence effortlessly. Citrus also hops over the fence to maintain the pursuit.

On the other side, a small gathering of Leisurians and Dombots working together to handle crates of produce come into view.

"Look out ahead!" Wander calls out and the gathering quickly scrambles out of the way of the galloping deer.

Though the Leisurians and Dombots were out of harm's way, a sort of maze of crate stacks remained. A great and mighty collision shattering wooden crates and sending splattered bits of fruits and vegetables all over the place should have followed but Blossom proves nimble: she darts and zig zags through the stacks leaving them untouched. Blossom and Luna get through unscathed.

"Oh thank goodness" Wander exhales.

"Brace for impact!" Beeza alerts as they approached the same crate stacks.

Citrus, armed with large antlers, lowers his head to crash through the crop-filled crates, pieces of wood, fruit, and vegetables exploding in all directions.

"Sorry!" Wander shouts behind him as he, Beeza, and Citrus continued chasing after Blossom and Luna.

All five get to a clearing and Citrus manages to catch up to Blossom.

"Hold him steady" Wander asks Beeza with Citrus running right beside Blossom. Wander readies a jump onto Blossom only to be stopped after noticing Luna did not look the least-bit panicked. "Luna?"

Holding onto Blossom's ears, Luna looked in control and with gentle tugs, she steers Blossom away to disappear into a field of tall and wide bushes.

"Luna, wait!" Wander calls out.

"In we follow" Beeza says steering Citrus into the same forest of bushes. Citrus's speed slows in this new crowded environment prompting Beeza and Wander to look through the rows and columns of bushes. "Where could they have gone?"

Wander climbs a bush to get a better view before exclaiming "over there!" after spotting Blossom in the distance, her head hidden in a bush.

The three approach carefully hoping not to restart another chase and eventually Luna comes into view still seated atop Blossom.

Wander hops off Citrus to hop up on Blossom and join his daughter's side. "Luna!" Wander calls out wrapping his arms around his young daughter. "Oh thank goodness you're okay! That was too scary!"

Luna hugs back as if to assure her father all was okay. She then taps on Blossom and Blossom pulls her head out of the bush with an apple in her mouth.

"An apple? Are these apple bushes?" Wander asks.

"Indeed. We're in an apple field" Beeza confirms as Citrus helps himself to an apple as well.

"Luna, were you steering Blossom back there?" Wander asks.

Luna's smile widens as if from pride.

"An equestrian in the making, perhaps?" Beeza suggests.

"Where did you learn to do that?" Wander questions intrigued and Luna sticks her hands into Wander's hat to pull out a book on riding horse-like creatures. "Oh! I read this to ya didn't I?"

Luna nods and hugs the book.

"Looks like you really enjoyed that book. Maybe a little too much" Wander speculates. "Luna, honey. From now on, you need to be more careful. You could have gotten hurt and I don't know what I'd do!"

Luna's smile fades and she bows her head sadly.

"Oh Luna, I hate seeing you disappointed!" Wander remarks hugging. "I just don't want you risking yourself. You're very young!.."

Beeza whispers into Wander's invisible ear. Wander smacks his forehead.

"Silly me, why didn't I think of that?" Wander almost gasps.

Moments later, a long-time friend arrives to assault Luna with warm hugs.

"Ooh! You cute little thing! Did you get cuter while I was away?" Sylvia sings hugging Luna copiously.

"Sylvia, Luna's looking for a horse ride" Wander says.

"Is that right?" Sylvia says placing Luna atop her saddle. "Well you're talking to the right Zbornak."

Wander joins his daughter atop Sylvia.

"You two ready?" Sylvia asks.

"Ready!" Wander answers holding his daughter close.

"Alright. Here we go!" Sylvia says starting a pleasant trot on a wide agricultural road.

"Look! A truck carrying fruits and veggies to the city!" Wander tells his little daughter while waving at the truck driver. Beeza and her assistants atop Citrus and Blossom then join alongside them. "Now isn't this a little nicer?" Wander asks enjoying Sylvia's gentler pace.

"Your dad and I explored the galaxy just like this before you were born" Sylvia reminisces. "So take it from us when we say that sometimes, it's best to slow down and enjoy the scenery."

"Aaaahh" Luna moans admiring Blossom and Citrus speeding ahead.

"Impressed by speed are ya?" Sylvia asks as Luna whips on her reins. "I can do speed and not just speed. I can fly too!"

Luna's eyes widen at Sylvia's claim.

"Wander, bubble us!"

Wander deploys a bubble around themselves. "Ready!" he says with daughter secured.

"And up we go!" Sylvia exclaims charging forwards to send the bubble flying high above Gardenia, the bountiful farm lands below proving awe-inspiring especially for Luna who could only admire the fertile lands below, lands her parents helped to save from permanent desolation.

After the birth of a son and then a daughter, the WanDom family stood at four members and was growing rapidly. Wander had impregnated Dominator again and after another five months, she was nearly ready to give birth a third time.

In the Leisure Gardens clinic's waiting room sat Luna and Jack along with Sylvia babysitting. Nefai youngsters develop talking and comprehension rapidly thus Luna and Jack were now conversing.

"I'm gonna be a big sister!" Luna exclaims excitedly reviewing some ultrasounds. "I can't wait!"

"I hope it's a girl so I don't have to share my stuff with her" Jack says sounding less enthused.

"Don't be like that" Luna says wrapping her arms around her older brother. "You love your baby sis, don't you?"

Jack responds with a hesitant grumble of agreement.

"It's gonna be a boy" Sylvia informs after a look at the ultrasounds. "Sorry Jack."

Jack grumbles before saying "he better get his own room. I'm not sharing mine."

"But sharing is caring, big bro!" Luna almost sings.

"I'm sure he'll get his own" Sylvia assures. "The Domship's got tons of space."

Then, with little warning, Wander and Dominator enter the waiting room. In Dominator's arms was a newborn who had green, freckled skin like Dominator and Luna but also had orange fuzz on his head comparable to Wander and Jack's fur. His eyes were like Luna's as well: white with red rings around the black irises.

"Hey little guy. Welcome to the galaxy" Sylvia greets gently while Luna lets out a Wander-like squeal of joy.

"Jack, your baby brother is here" Dominator says.

"...Hey" was all Jack could muster.

"Say a full hello" Dominator orders.

Jack's hesitant eyes shift around before asking "he's getting his own room, right?"

THE SECOND SON

-=episode title=-

On their way back to the Domship, the newest member of the WanDom family sat snug in Wander's arms.

"What's his name?" Luna asks happy with the newest mamber to the family.

"We've named him Dex" Wander reveals.

"Hello Dex. Nice to meet ya" Sylvia greets taking several pictures. "Jack, Luna, get in on this."

"Gladly!" Luna says joining her father on embracing Dex.

Wander reels Jack in before Jack has a chance to object and Dominator finally joins in as well.

"Say cheese!" Sylvia instructs before taking many more pictures.

To Jack's relief, a room was being prepared for Dex and that was where Dex was taken when he first entered the Domship.

"So Dex! This is your room" Jack says with enthusiasm.

"It's a little empty right now" Wander excuses, "but with your help, we can put stuff in here you'll like!"

Dex stares up at his father, mother, and two siblings silently.

"...Dad, Dex is too young to talk" Luna points out. "How are we supposed to help him?"

Wander thinks for a moment before suggesting "how's about a little show and tell? We show Dex things and figure out what he likes that way?"

"Like through body language?" Luna asks.

"Exactly!" Wander confirms.

Glances were exchanged but agreement was ultimately reached by all and first to show and tell was Wander.

"Dex. This here is my banjo" Wander says pulling his banjo out of his hat. "Ya strum on the strings and music comes out!" he says strumming a few notes before Dex. "How's about a quick ditty?":

"You are our morning sun!
Gifting smiles by the ton!
Sunshine's got me singing this so~ong!
So open your eyes and lend us your ears,
there's so much to love, see, and hear,
And soon you'll be singing alo~ong!"

Luna and Sylvia clap while Jack half-rolled his eyes. Dex seemed to not even notice.

"Nothing, huh?" Wander remarks disappointed.

"Dex obviously wants something harder, dad" Jack claims. "Watch."

Arming himself with an electric guitar hooked up to an amp, Jack did some strumming of his own: a long guitar riff of increasing ferocity and complexity ripped itself free from Jack's frantic fingers. Luna covered her ears while Dominator almost sent her punk mohawk flying headbanging to the raucous notes. As a lover of music, Wander enjoyed his son's strumming but he made sure to cover Dex's sensitive ears during the riff.

"How was that?" Jack asks.

"Pretty rockin'!" Dominator praises.

"Too loud" Luna objects.

"I have to agree with Luna" Sylvia says. "Too loud for Dex's little ears."

"Dad, what'd you cover his ears for!?" Jack complains.

"I'm sure Dex heard it. Just not as loud as the rest of us" Wander defends.

"And I don't think Dex liked it too much" Luna opines looking at Dex's stoic expression.

"Pssshht! You wanted me to share so I shared" Jack says with arms crossed.

Next came Luna armed with a book.

"Little brother! I want to show you the wonderful world of flower pressing!" Luna says presenting pages in the book adorned with beautifully-preserved flowers. "Dad told me about this and I can't stop collecting them ever since!"

"I even have my own!" Wander says pulling a book out of his hat while Jack snickered.

"I have all sorts of flowers preserved here: dandelions and daffodils and asters and anemones!" Luna boasts flipping through the pages.

"Let's show Dex the birds of paradise!" Wander says excitedly.

"Birds of paradise!" Luna and Wander say in unison showing off pressed flowers that resembled birds in flight.

"No way Dex is gonna like this" Jack challenges before a gasp is heard.

All eyes turn towards the source and a look of surprise is found on Dex's face.

"No way!" Dex objects.

"He loves it!" Wander and Luna almost sing.

"Achoo!" Dex sneezes.

"Don't tell me" Wander almost gasps pulling tissue out of his hat.

"Could little brother be allergic to flowers?" Luna ponders urgently.

"Probably pollen" Dominator clarifies recalling her allergic reaction to a yellow flower of long ago.

"Dombots" Wander speaks and at once, Beep Boop and Deedee appear.

"Yes Lord Wander?" Beep Boop says.

"Please check on Dex. I think he has an allergy" Wander asks while tending to Dex's invisible nose.

Beep Boop moves to scan but a Wander-like squeal halts him. Attention immediately all zeroes in on Dex once more who was now extending both arms as if wanting to hug Beep Boop and Deedee.

"Son? You want a hug?" Wander asks and Dex nods focused on Beep Boop. "From Beep Boop?" and Dex nods again.

Beep Boop agrees before hugging Dex.

Dex did not stay still for the hug: he quickly opens Beep Boop up to marvel at the circuitry within, eyes sparkling.

"Dex, how did you do that?" Dominator asks and Dex looks at her before returning to marveling at Beep Boop.

"Maybe it's genetic?" Sylvia suggests. "He's got your green skin and now an interest in robotics too?"

"Very possible" Dominator agrees.

"Let's find out. Hey Dex, ya like that?" Sylvia asks and Dex nods. "Wait 'til you see the machinery in the rest of this place!"

Seated on Sylvia's saddle, Dex is taken on a tour through various rooms with engines hard at work to keep the Domship up and running. He's taken to a room where lava flows could be seen getting pumped about the ship, containers that seemed to contain polar winds firmly in place, and wires where electricity sparked loudly and brightly.

Dex's eyes were wide with amazement throughout and when he was finally introduced to a room filled with various Dombots moving about to maintain the ship, he squeals like his father.

"Guys, I think I found what Dex likes" Sylvia proclaims.

"Mom, that means he'll be learning from you" Luna says.

"Seems so" Dominator replies. "Very well then. I shall teach him and I will not go easy. The blood of a dominator flows in his veins after all!" Dominator boasts firmly. "He will DOMINATE!"

"Good luck son!" Wander exclaims as Dex is handed a schematic after he's seen looking at it curiously.

"Pfft! Nerd!" Jack ridicules.

Wander pulls Jack and Luna in for mighty hugs. He had to after watching his family continuing to form and grow.

Author's note: finally done with this. Sorry it took so long, been busy with drawing stuff.

Regarding the WanDom kids in this chapter, they're heavily based on the WanDom kids WanDom artist Uma has drawn in the past: Jack, named after Wander's voice actor, is based on Jr; Luna is based on Sugar Star; and Dex is based on Tom. Jr, Sugar Star, and Tom can be found on Uma's tumblr and I'm essentially using those fankids in my fanfiction but it felt sort of weird using their names. I felt I needed to add my own bits to them somehow before using them and making them my own in a way.

Thanks for reading!
