Thing was, Lumi was nervous.

Sure, newcomers came all the time, and they all made the hyper-active child nervous, but today was more so.

She would finally have, other then Stone, one of her friends ('friend' was actually a bit of a stretch) and Mutt, her brother, and a few choice others, people who were close to her age.

As a bonus, two of them were going to be related to her!

Looking at the few who were waiting in the hanger with her, she felt a wave of relief. At least she wasn't meeting them alone.

The occupants of the room included Hunk and Shay Garret, cradling their two-month-year old baby Toby, and Keith Kogane stood sullenly in the corner. Lance and Allura McClain were there, too, allowing their three-year-old baby, Larmina, to run free, playing with Lumi's siblings, finding exceptional interest in Mutt's tail, and love for Vista - Lumi's older sister - 's tail, despite the oldest sibling being lackadaisical with the whole thing. Finally, in the middle of the group, stood Matt and Olia Holt, Lumi's parents.

Her father had just come from the lab, his and his youngest daughter's favorite place, and was wearing a white shirt splattered with oil. Her mother was clad in the clothes she called her 'rebel uniform', a flight cap pinched tightly around her ears, orange, brown, and grey covering most of her body except her hands and her head, save the hat.

Lumi bounced on the balls of her feet nervously, spotting the grey pod that Aunt Acxa had left in just three days before.

She normally would have waved, but…these people were strangers.

Her father placed a hand on her shoulder, giving her his classic lopsided smile for reassurance.

It seemed like an eternity until the doors to the pod opened.

All the waiting people seemed to either shrink back collectively, nervous at what would happen, or step forward eagerly to meet their family members.

Acxa stepped out first, looking out at the waiting group. Then she turned around and called out something.

Six pairs of eyes peered out from the ship, and then six children stepped out of the shadows and staring in awe at the hanger.

Several workers milled about, moving large crates and directing ships to their proper landing zones.

Their eyes followed the bustling activity in shock.

Finally, after a few moments, Acxa gestured to the waiting group, pushing the children towards them pointedly.

The children neared cautiously in response, staring at them with wide eyes.

The oldest, a purple Galra, stayed close to Acxa, and she let him.

The other five walked towards them.

Half way over, though, three of them, Lumi recognized them from descriptions as Shon, Finn, and Kitty, sped up their pace until they were running,.

Eventually, three meters away, the two boys who had rushed them stopped running as they seemed to realize they had no idea who they were running to.

But the chubby girl charged right into Shay's arms, laughing joyfully.

While each set of parents went to meet their children, Matt led his small family over to the boy with black hair and the girl who looked just like him.

"Laura and Shon, I presume?" He greeted them, smiling.

The boy grinned back, his mouth forming the same sort of grin Matt had. "Yep. I'm Shon. This is my sister, Laura. Are you our parents?"

Matt and Olia exchanged a glance, chuckling slightly.

"No." Matt admitted, shaking his head. "I'm your uncle, though."

"I thought our parents would be meeting us." The girl, Laura, frowned, looking confused.

"They're busy." Vista sighed, exasperated.

Olia shot her daughter a look. "That they are. They wanted to come, but their schedule just didn't work."

"I'm Mutt!" Mutt greeted them, not waiting for proper introductions. "I'm your cousin."

"Are you…" Shon's nose wrinkled in curiosity, "…dogs?"

Mutt promptly burst out laughing. "Nope! We're Caneen, some of the last of our kind. Of course, us three," pause to gesture to his sisters, "are hybrids, half human!"

"Wow, that's so awesome!" Shon laughed.

Matt stepped forward, smiling at them. "These are your cousins, Vista, Mutt, and Lumi."

Vista waved in a two-fingered salute. "'S'up."

Lumi waved awkwardly. "Hi."

Mutt grinned cockily, nodding to them.

"And this is my wife, Olia."

"Nice to meet you." Shon grinning, sticking out his hand. Each member of the family took a turn shaking it, though Lumi was a bit shy.

"So…which side of our family are you related to us on?" Laura asked, cutting out the small talk. "Father's? Mother's?"

Matt laughed at her eagerness, shaking his head. "I'm your mother's brother. Matt Holt, at your service." He bowed.

"Um…nice to meet you." Laura hesitantly nodded.

Lumi, while still feeling a bit nervous, began to smile. They seemed so familiar, so like her own family.

Laura was similar to Vista, Shon was like Mutt.

Huh. Maybe this wouldn't be all that unfamiliar after all.
