Later that day, Aleu, Kirby, Kodi, and Dusty were in the boiler room talking. Ralph and Krystal walked in.
"Everyone, we've got big news," said Ralph.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant," said Krystal.
Everyone's eyes went wide and their mouths gapped open in surprise.
"Wow," said Aleu. "Congratulations."
Then Kirby smirked and said, "Do you know who the father is?"
Ralph and Krystal glared at him.
"Burn," said Dusty with a laugh.
"This is so great," said Ralph. "I'm gonna be a father. And you guys thought I'd never amount to anything."
"So, Dusty," said Krystal, "are you and Kodi gonna have puppies?"
Dusty and Kodi smiled at each other. "Maybe," they said in unison.
"Oh, puppies," moaned Aleu. "Kirby, I want to have puppies."
"Okay," said Kirby as he stood up. "So where you want to do this?"
Everyone in the room stared at Kirby.
"I didn't mean right now!" said Aleu. "I meant someday."
"Oh," said Kirby as he sat back down. "Well, be more specific next time."
