This is it! The end of the road for this story. I just wanna thank everyone who took the time to leave a review! That always makes my day a little brighter.

Number One and Two are both very silly, but I'm glad I wrote them. Number Three is more in line with the rest of this fic.

Bonus Stories

Number One

"Hunk!" Lance screamed as he ran down the hall. "Hunk! HUNK, ARE YOU AWAKE?!"

Keith and Pidge stood in the doorway of their room, content to stand back and watch their boyfriend. Keith wrapped an arm around her waist and rested his chin on top of her head.

"I think he's happy," Pidge remarked.

"HUNK, WAKE UP!" Lance began banging on his friend's door.

Across the hall, a different door slid open and a shirtless Shiro stepped out to see what was happening. "Why is Lance yelling?"

"HUNK! I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING IMPORTANT! HUNK!"

"Do you think we should stop him?" Keith asked.

Pidge shook her head. "It's a little late for that now."

At last, the door slid open, revealing a very grumpy Hunk in yellow pajamas.

Lance beamed at him. "Hunk, I'm gonna be a dad!"

Hunk stared at him for a moment and then stepped back into his room and let the door close behind him. Seconds later, it opened a second time and a much more awake Hunk grasped Lance by the shoulders. "You're what?!"

"I'm gonna be a dad!"

Hunk squealed in glee.

"You realize you're not allowed to leave me alone with him, right?" Pidge asked Keith.

"I'm starting to see that," he replied, kissing the top of her head. "Though if Lance and Hunk are this bad, how do you think Allura and Coran will react? Or your brother, for that matter."

"Oh, about the same as Shiro is right now."

They both looked to their leader, who appeared just as excited about the news as the other two.

"I'm going to be an uncle!" Shiro whispered to himself.


Number Two

"If we're going to do this right, we're going to need code names!" Lance announced to his fellow paladins. "I'll be Eagle One! Keith, you're Currently Doing That."

Keith looked confused. "Doing what?"

Lance ignored the question. "Pidge, you're Also Currently Doing That."

"You're so lucky I love you," Pidge told him, sounding amused. She had one hand resting on her very pregnant belly.

"Shiro is, It Happened Once In A Dream," Lance continued.

"Oooh, so you've had the Shiro Dream too?" Pidge asked, joining in on the fun.

"It's the best dream," Lance replied.

Shiro groaned. "No. No, we are not doing this."

"Doing what?" Keith asked again, no less confused than before. "And what dream? What's happening?"

Pidge gestured for Keith to lean down so she could whisper in his ear.

"Ohhh... Do you think we've had the same dream?"

Shiro stared at the floor as though he wished it would open up and swallow him whole.

"Allura can be, If I Had To Pick An Alien!" Lance winked at her, grinning when she laughed in response. "And finally, Hunk!"

"Oh no," he murmured, looking worried.

"You're Eagle Two."

"Thank you."

Allura raised her hand. "Lance, I've got one little question, before we begin. What do code names have to do with baby-proofing the Castle?"


Number Three

Kolivan stared in awe at the tiny life-form cradled in his arms, taking in everything from the curls of black hair on top of her head, to the pale purple fluff on the tips of her pointed ears, to the way she looked up at him with absolutely no fear. She giggled at him and waved her chubby arms, reaching for nothing in particular.

He slowly sat down on a nearby bench, unable to tear his eyes away.

She was so small. So fragile. A new little life right there in his arms, unaware of just how terrifying and brutal the universe could be.

Her hand found his braid and tugged. Hard.

Kolivan smiled and let her. He was so enraptured by her, he didn't notice Keith splitting away from his family to slowly approach him with a second baby in his arms. It wasn't until the younger man was seated next to him that Kolivan saw him at all.

"Looks like Keira has a new favorite," Keith said with a smile. It faded a little when he noticed something off about his mentor. "Kolivan, are you alright? You're crying."

Kolivan continued staring at the baby, suddenly aware of the tears dampening his cheeks. It wasn't a surprise. Not really. Holding her brought up a whole host of memories he'd shoved to the back of his mind for years. They were just too painful to think about.

"I had a son once."

Keith's eyes went wide in shock, but he didn't make a remark about what he'd just learned. He suspected it was as much as he would get from the stoic leader of the Blade. Instead, he turned his second daughter to face Kolivan. "Would you like to meet Leona too?"

Kolivan's gaze shifted to her. She appeared fully human, unlike her twin, with hair a similar shade to her mother and a darker complexion. Like Keira, she looked up at him fearlessly. "Your cubs are beautiful."

"Yeah, they are," Keith agreed with a soft smile.
