8 Months Later...(With Pucca In Labor...)

Of course Pucca moved in with Garu early, because Garu was worried that since she has those crazy mood swings she might kill somebody. Though he only had to live with the crazy mood swings for 5 months, due to the fact that she went into labor early. But none the less they were healthy babies.

A nurse handed one of the babies to Pucca, and the other to Garu. For Pucca the hardest part was over,she could finally relax and just look at the little bundle in her arms. "Pucca you have the girl, and Garu your holding the boy." The same nurse announced smiling at the new parents. "Garu." Pucca looked up at him as she continued, "I want you to name her."

He smiled as he looked down at her, "Only if you name him." Garu said referring to the baby boy in his arms. "Deal." Pucca agreed, "I want his name to be Ling." Garu smiled, and looked down at the baby girl in Pucca's arms, "I want her name to be Tabitha." Pucca looked at him joyfully, "I agree."

"They are both wonderful names, Pucca will be able to leave tomorrow at noon with Ling and Tabitha." The doctor complimented while writing down the twin's names on their birth certificates, then shortly after left the room.

Pucca fell asleep with Ling in her arms, on the other hand Garu had Tabitha in his arms fussing. That night was a very long night, well at least for Garu.

3 Weeks Later...

The sun shined threw the window of Garu and Pucca's room, for once in two weeks they finally got some sleep. Pucca got up shortly after she heard Tabitha crying loudly. As soon as Pucca got to Tabitha's crib, she immediately picked her up then rocked her gently. It's funny how they matched their parents personalities; Ling is always calm and doesn't cry that much. On the other hand, Tabitha is always crying, but smiles a lot. But of course Tabitha has Pucca's smile.

Garu quietly wrapped his arms around Pucca's waist while she was rocking Tabitha. "Good morning." he kissed her neck, and tightened his grip around her waist. Pucca giggled tiredly, "Good morning." she yawned. Tabitha closed her eyes, and before you know she was sound asleep. "She looks just like you." Garu chuckled as Pucca looked up at him. "And Ling looks a lot like you." Pucca continued, "Just like in your baby pictures, funny huh?"

"Yep." Garu replied, he had to admit Ling looked EXACTLY like him with the pigtails and everything.

Pucca went into the kitchen and found a letter from her Uncle Dumpling;

Pucca,

This weekend is the annual family reunion, and we would like you

to come and bring the twins along for everyone to see. Also Garu is

welcomed to come as well, after all he is almost family since your wedding is 3 weeks from now. We hope to see you all at the reunion.

Uncle Dumpling

The first thought that came to her mind was Garu, he's never been to a family reunion before. After all, he's never known his family. Garu came in and looked down at her, "What's that?" Pucca smiled up at him, "It's an invitation to my family reunion this weekend. Everyone wants to see Ling and Tabitha, and they want to meet you. I'm going how about you?"

"I'm up for it." Garu replied, oh how he wished that he wouldn't have to go. Why? Well no one has an answer for that yet but eventually we shall get an answer...or will we?

She giggled happily and kissed his cheek lightly, "I promise you'll have fun!" soon after she stated that, Pucca went back into Ling and Tabitha's room to nurse them. Garu simply nodded, but froze. 'Wait today is Friday...' Garu thought to himself, then went to go talk to Abyo for advice.

At The Training Center

"Hmm looks like you need some advice buddy..." Abyo confirmed thinking yet again he was a genius. "No shit sherlock." Garu mumbled loudly, what would he ever do with his clueless best friend. Abyo continued, "Maybe you should try to be the life of the party! You know like the way I taught you a few years ago! Make a good impression, show them the fun and exciting side of you!"

"Being the life of the party isn't that great sometimes Abyo. And besides I'll make a good impression being myself anyway." Garu stated sternly, he was not liking this advice. "Do whatever you want to do Garu, be your own person...but its not my fault if they think your boring." Abyo teased. "I am NOT boring. Just because I like to talk about martial arts a lot it doesn't mean I'm boring." Garu protested.

"Sure, like you'll be saying that when you and Pucca are in the middle of having sex and she calls you boring just because you won't do anything hardcore. What will you say then? Haha!" Abyo teased once more, as his annoyed friend looked at him as if he was going to smack the shit out of him for saying so.

"You ass." Garu mumbled, and rolled his eyes. 'Am I really that boring?' he thought. "Hey Garu...do you like being a father? Cause' I heard it sucks." laughing to himself, Abyo received an annoyed glare from Garu. "Abyo shut up." Garu snapped, as Abyo started to laughing. "Aw does Garu hate being a father!?" Abyo taunted, "You just wanted Pucca for the sex eh?!"

'THATS IT!' Garu thought to himself in anger.

"For your information Abyo, I LOVE being a father! And I didn't want Pucca just for sex, I love her more than anyone could ever describe!" Garu defended himself, watching Abyo's grin fade. Garu quickly left after, taking his pride with him too.

That Night At Home

Ching was visiting the twins and Pucca.

"They are so ADORABLE!" complimented Ching gazing at Ling cutely sleeping in his crib. "I know aren't they?" giggled Pucca rocking Tabitha in her arms. Ching looked at the clock, "Oh I have to get going, have fun at the reunion tomorrow!" "I probably will, bye Ching!" Pucca yelled as she heard her friend going out the front door. A few moments after,Garu came home and quietly snuck up behind Pucca yet again wrapping his arms around her waist and giving her light kisses on the neck.

In response she giggled, "Someone is happy to be home." "Tell me about it." sighed Garu letting her break free easily from his grip. "I'm guessing Abyo pissed you off?" Pucca said in a tired tone, then put Tabitha in her crib. "Uh huh." replied Garu going over to Ling's crib and watching him sleep.

"Well, just forget about what Abyo said. We better get some sleep if we don't want to be tired tomorrow." Pucca started walking to the doorway, and stopped, "Are you coming to bed?" "Yea in a bit. I'm just going stay in here for awhile." Garu assured, "You go ahead." Pucca nodded, and continued walking. Garu just stood there gazing at Ling and Tabitha, also thinking about what all happened today.

He had a whole lot on his mind.
