Chapter- 4

Ben smiled as he looked at the small Necroffriggians fluttering about in the Proto-Truk. They were his kids. They were safe and sound, all 14 of them.

As it turns out, the Little Chills- as he had dubbed them- were caught by some low-level poachers who were planning to sell them to an illegal fightin ring. Needless to say, they had incurred the wrath of a very parental Ben Tennyson, who had turned into Big Chill and proceeded to give them a major butt-kicking.

Rook had let him vent his rage and focused more on getting other captive aliens to safety. Little Chills, much like Ben had proceeded to give the poachers a piece of their own mind.

As soon as the poachers were taught a lesson not to mess with any of Ben Tennyson's family or friends and enclosed in ice, they were handed over to a few Plummers who were called in to take the criminals into custody. They were fairly surprised to see Ben Tennyson embracing a look of Necroffriggian children.

After wrapping up the whole debacle, came question of what to do with the Little Chills. They seemed to want to stay with their parent. Ben had no problem with that,in fact, he was ecstatic to keep them with him. And so, it was decided that the Little Chills were staying with Ben until further notice.

Right now, they were headed to Plummer HQ to make it official. Ben was pretty sure his mother wouldn't mind having a few kids around. And if his mother is okay with it his father should be too. Grandpa Max always loved kids so, wouldn't be against it.

Ben was broken out of his thoughts by the Little Chills settling around him, it seemed they had finally exhausted their energy. He glanced at Rook, he was watching them with a small smile.

"They're adorable , aren't they?" Ben asked.

"Yes, they are." Rook watched the little one fall asleep. The smallest on Ben's lap.

Ben gave the brightest smile Rook had ever seen on his face. Brightest and maybe even the most honest. Ben turned back to his kids, smile still in place.

"Welcome back." He whispered to them.


Hey, everyone.

Firstly, I am so very sorry to have taken so long to update. I have no excuse other than school staff changes that affected our study load and writer's block.

Secondly, if you can tell this is the end. the last chapter for this story.

Thirdly, as you can see, i have left a pretty open end. I am thinking of starting a drabble series with the Little Chills. If you want, you can send me some ideas, either via PM or your reviews.
