Chapter 2

The next day.

Melee and Garou sat at the table in yet another meeting. There were still issues with the monster cells, it explained most of the attacks on the cities just yesterday. "We believe the cell production has been moved once more. Whoever is making these is attempting to stay one step ahead of us. So far, they are succeeding." Explained Sitch.

Garou tried to listen, but his body began to moan oddly. It took the attention of the room for a moment before the sound stopped. Then, his core began to chaff. His left side began throbbing, he thought nothing of it but the pain was growing steadily. He stood up from his chair and began to walk out of the room. "Where are you going? We are not done here!" Sitch protested.

"Got to drop some kids off." He muttered and walked out of the room.

Tatsumaki was disgusted. "UGH! Does he always have to announce when he is going to the bathroom like that?" she demanded. Then her glare came upon Melee. "Come on, teach him SOME manners!"

Melee however felt what he said was not bathroom related. "I'll be back as well Sitch, sorry!" and gave chase. She found Garou across the hall in another room. He was holding his left side painfully; he gave a disgruntled and uncomfortable sound. Melee knows that noise all too well, and quickly rushed to the showering chambers of the association. Inside she grabbed 2 clean black towels and ran back to Garou. By the time she arrived, he was roaring in agony. His body contorted, then his side opened. The serpents did their usual dance and unraveled. Yet, this time, they were letting something out of him.

The first of the twins emerged! Garou felt the body leaving him, but couldn't see. He was trying to keep himself from collapsing, bracing his arms to the wall an endured the pain. The child was still sleeping and coddled in his coils. "Is it…"

"A boy." Melee said with a tear in her eyes. She gently took him from the coiled serpents and wrapped the towel around him. Melee picked up her new son in her arms. He appeared no more than 5 years old. Slowly, his eyes opened to her. He gave a stretch and a yawn before he became transfixed on her. "Hello sweet boy." She whispered.

His eyes were black eyes with white irises. His hair was black with while stripes in it. He smiled to her and reaches up to touch her face. Melee laughed, just as the other came out of Garou. Looking down, she realized something about the twins. "Oh boy, we're in for it. Identical twins!" She said with a laugh. She wrapped up the second boy, but Garou wanted him. With his side back to normal, the pain began to vanish. He held his second born son in his arms. His heart melted. "You have been a pain in my side for a while," he said in a teasing tone.

When his eyes opened though, Garou felt his heart fill with joy. Another son… two sons! "Sorry they weren't girls." He said.

Melee however laughed. "Honestly, we were lucky to have Alley. Didn't you know, girls born in my family is really rare? Like once a generation?" she asked.

"I didn't know that!"

"It's true. So yeah, if we have any more kids, we would be lucky if we had another girl."

Garou's focus however shifted as he felt a little hand grab on to his nose. Looking down once more, he stared at his son, smiling back at him. "You are going to be a little hell raiser aren't you? Just like me!"

"I think we need to get back to the meeting." Said Melee.

"How come we don't have maternity leave? We ought to fight for that!"

"Come on!" she said with a small laugh.

Melee held her son tightly, yet he was a squirming little thing. He wanted to see everything! The world was a new and open place for him. The sights, sounds, smell it was all bombarding his senses and he wanted them all! The second born was more content to cuddle into Garou, wanting to be close to his father. They returned to the meeting. Every head turned and saw the two new faces they brought along.

"What the hell is this?" demanded Atomic Samurai.

"Told you, I had to drop some kids!" Garou said with a smirk on his face. The kids took in the room, but their eyes set on Pig God's food! They made a strange whimpering sound towards it. "Oh… are you hungry? Wait. How can you be hungry when I ate for you two last night!?" he demanded.

Still they whimpered towards the food, to the point there were on the brink of tears. Pig God took notice and rolled his eyes. He slid a box of what he was eating towards Garou. Pot stickers of all things! "Thank you," said Melee as she took the offering to her sons. Their tiny hands reached in and grabbed what they could. Their faces filled with the delight as they ate every crumb.

"Sorry, did you want the meeting to continue?" asked Melee.

Sitch sighed. "How about you get them fed first, and then we will continue after. There's no point in going on if they are still hungry."

"Okay you two lunch time… then we got to give you names!" said Garou.
