What Marco doesn't know won't hurt him... Right?

It's been three months and a half since the last chapter, things have been growing mildly concerning but interesting as Jackie and Hailey show signs of getting together.

While Star gets sick...

~Chu~

Saturday mornings are the best, you get to sleep in, stay at home, be the first to wake up... Well unfortunately for Marco Diaz that wouldn't be the case today.

Marco's girlfriend Star - yes they finally become official girlfriend and boyfriend a month ago - had been really sick lately, only problem was that he didn't know why, he asked his mom Angie but she didn't seem to know either.

So he decided to do the only thing he thought right - and because Star mentioned the name recently, so he called up Eclipsa Butterfly - but she wouldn't give him a straight answer.

So eventually Marco just gave up looking for an answer and stayed with Star, Janna or Jackie would bring him his homework, he never let her out of his sight, she became fidgety because she was a wild and independent, spirited teenage Septarian/Mewman girl with a need for some personal space while developing a complex because of her 'Safe Kid' boyfriend.

At the very moment Star had locked herself in her bedroom for some alone time, so she could sleep in peace. Marco was forced to go back to school by his mom, who said she'd stay home for the day.

When Marco returned home later that day he saw the window to Star's bedroom was ajar, so he raced up the steps to check on her - becoming more frantic with each passing second until he reached her bedroom door, he was tempted to kick it down but he wasn't that far into hysterics just yet.

He pushed the door open and to his surprise, on the couch in the room was a tall lizard man with mint colored skin and a black back, a snout, golden eyes, and a tail just like Star's own - only much bigger. In the strange man's lap was Star, sleeping snuggly and soundly against a pillow on his side. "What the hell are you doing in my girlfriend's bedroom?!" Marco whisper-yelled at the strange male Septarian. "Can't a father visit his five month pregnant daughter?" The man asked. "Daughter? PREGNANT?! WHAT." Marco was tripping over his words before he actually tripped over someone's tail.

The Septarian shushed Marco. "She's asleep. Don't wake her up or I will kill you and gut you like a fish." He hissed before gently caressing Star's swollen stomach. "What the heck is your name? I thought River was her dad! How did she get pregnant?!" "To answer your first question my name is Toffee, and no that barbaric king is not the father of this girl, and as for your third question - you should know the answer." Stated Toffee with indifference as he pressed gently on the side of Star's stomach - this caused her to squirm in pain. "S-Stop that! You're hurting her!" Marco said in a low and distressed tone. "I am merely testing her tolerance boy." Toffee said, his grin never leaving his face as he went to press against the very center of her stomach - Marco had had enough.

He karate chopped Toffee's arm from the elbow clean off the rest, leaving behind the rest of the elbow and up until the shoulder. "Maybe you are worthy of my daughter." Toffee stated quietly - his arm started regrowing, with quite the bit of effort might I add.

That's when Star woke up - she was so confused and so scared she blasted Toffee in the face, only to roll off the couch and get caught by his tail before she could hit the floor. "Now now dear, we wouldn't want you hurting your offspring now would we?" Toffee chided the blue haired teen who wrapped her arms around her stomach protectivly. "W-Who are you? H-How'd you know I was pregnant?!" She said before getting up and darting over to Marco. "MonStar - my child, how it hurts me so. I'm your father, your real father - Toffee, from your mother's tapestry. Moon the Undaunted." Toffee said, gently coaxing her back over to scratch behind one of her ears - before she darted back over to Marco for protection.

She'd kept the secret of her pregnancy from her boyfriend Marco for as long as she could because she didn't want to be a burden on him, now he knew and she just felt pathetic... Toffee did eventually leave but not after touching Star's swollen stomach one last time - and getting slapped across the face by her tail.

Marco had an arm around his lover's waist. "Why didn't you tell me I was going to be a father?" "I-I didn't want to be a burden on you..." She said with tears in her eyes. "You, a burden on me? That's impossible Star, I love you no matter what - even if this was an unexpected development, I could kind of see it coming." He said as he gently wiped away his best friend/girlfriend's tears away.

They lay on Star's bed together, quiet and at peace with themselves for the time being - though now that Star's secret was out in a way she knew things were going to change, whether they were good or not she hadn't the slightest clue.

When it was time to eat dinner the pair decided to tell Marco's parents the news. "Mom, dad. We have some really big news..." Marco said, Star holding his hand in worry - her head bowed in shame. "Star is... She's pregnant..." He was prepared for the scolding of the century but it never came. "We already know." Angie said calmly, Marco's jaw dropped. "H-How did you know?" Star asked as she clamped her hands on Marco's shoulders. "Janna told us the day that she, Jackie, and my son returned here from your dimension. Plus, it got pretty obvious when you hit month three." Marco's mother said, Marco had to help his trembling girlfriend to sit down and sat down with her as they processed the fact that his parents knew that Star was pregnant and didn't tell either of them.

After they finally seemed to come to terms with the new information things seemingly went back to normal in the Diaz residence, minus the fact of having a magical, pregnant, teenage princess from another dimension living in their house, with their son, dating their son, and that she was part lizard.

Would things ever really go back to normal in Echo Creek? Or would things continue to escalate further than ever before?

That brings us to the close of another chapter. (Which I spent five days working on mind you!)

I just have one small question that I'd like everyone to answer.

How long does it take for you guys to read each chapter?
