9 Months Later

"I brought everyone some more coffee and some water too~~"

Nitro once again met us at the hospital a while back.

Suko went into labor hours ago, and she's going into delivery now. Nitro made sure to speed his way to the hospital when he found out, and met with us a few hours ago.

He met us here last year too, when Minkyu was about to be born. Now, he's going to be here for the birth of my baby girl and baby boy.

He even promised that he'd be here for us when the others have their kids too. And I have the perfect idea to make sure he can go through with his promise.

No one is allowed in the LDR room apart from the staff, so we have to wait for them to give us the ok to come in.

"Thank you Nitro..."

"Don't worry hyung~. I'm sure noona is doing just fine~~"

"Little Nitro is right. You remember how Mark was really worried about me, but in the end, Minkyu and I were just fine. I know that it'll be the same for Suko and the little ones"

Nora reassured me, with Minkyu sleeping in her arms and Mark struggling to stay awake.

After Nitro finished handing out the drinks, he sat in my lap to wait with the rest of us. But, he didn't have a drink.

"Nitro, where's your drink???"

"Oh~. I didn't have enough money to get one~. But that's ok since you all have your drinks~"

He seemed sad, but he still had a smile on his face.

"...We'll be right back guys"

I alerted the others and they nodded.

I took a sip of my coffee, and picked up Nitro as I got up. I walked back to the vending machines with him and scouted the many snacks and drinks.

"What's your favorite drink and snack Nitro~?"

"...Apple Juice and regular Lays~. But you don't have to get them for me hyung~"

"I may not have to, but I want to. I'll even get a snack too~"

I got out some money, and got our snacks and his drink.

"Thank you hyung~~!"

He kissed my cheek before sipping his juice and eating his chips.

"You're welcome Nitro~"

"HYUNG! IT'S TIME YOU CAN GO SEE THEM NOW!"

Hyuck exclaimed while running to us.

"THE DELIVERY IS DONE!! HURRY TO SUKO!!"

"Hold on to your drink and snack Nitro"

"Okay~~!"

I put my Skittles in my pocket, and I started running with Nitro in my arms.

"I'll bring your coffee when they allow the rest of us to come in hyung!"

"Thanks Hyuck! We'll see you in a few!"

"Wait hyung! Why am I going with you?? Shouldn't I wait with the others???"

Nitro asked as I continued running.

"Not this time. You wouldn't want to miss this chance of seeing your brother and sister for the first time, would you~?"

He went silent as we entered the elevator.

"What are you saying hyung...?"

"I'm saying that Suko and I are adopting you~. We know that you live alone Nitro. You don't have to hide that anymore"

"...I ran away from my old home. My parents tried to kill me because they couldn't understand my power. They called me the devil. But, I didn't even understand it, even though I could control it"

He explained.

"I think I might have an idea as to what your power may be. Would you mind showing me?"

He nodded, though he seemed hesitant.

Just as I thought, a Stand appeared right next to us.

Its body is purple and blue, and its face is skeletal, bearing completely red eyes with thick, spiked eyelashes, and vein-like textures and patterns on its face. It has striped Guanine/Δdenine/Cytosine/Thymine pattern on its hips, chest, and on the top and crown of its head. Its head, shoulders, arms and legs bear short, arrow-shaped vestiges, with the top of its head faintly similar to a crown. The back and sides of its head along with a belt incorporating a long, arrow-tipped tail possess a fur-like texture. And even though it has a thin waist, it has overt abdominal musculature.

"When I was very young, I had just discovered my power to control gravity that my parents didn't know about, and I came across an unusual baby. It was purple and blue with a similar face to this. It didn't seem to be scared of me, and it let me pick it up. I carried it around with me for a while, but then it just suddenly fused with me. Then this thing came out of me as a result. Ever since then, I haven't been able to age normally. Now I only go up an age every three years. But... At the time, I still couldn't fully control my power, and this thing only amplified it. When my parents witnessed this power, they didn't love me anymore. And for some reason, I was the only one who could see it. I ran away, and got scouted by Redwood Academy years later. But, it was only a few members of the staff that could see it"

"Why didn't they tell the students about it? I'm sure they wouldn't have teased you if they knew"

"I begged them not to tell any of the other students. I still didn't even know what this was, so I knew that they wouldn't understand. They'd just call me a devil like my parents did. I'd rather have them tease me in any other way than to be called that again..."

"I knew it had to be some type of explanation to all this. This is called a Stand, which is a physical manifestation of your soul, as well as your spiritual and life energy. I'm thinking when the baby fused with you and created this Stand, it took on your powers of controlling gravity. Technically speaking, it liked you so much that it wanted to make you more powerful by fusing with you. And the only reason that hardly anyone was able to see it was because only Stand users like myself and the others can see another Stand"

"Oh! That makes sense!"

He understood completely.

"Do you have a name for your Stand? Mine is called Gold Experience"

I brought out my Stand as an example, and he was surprised to be able to see it.

"I never thought of a name for it. Can you name it for me hyung~?"

"Of course~. How about..., C-Moon~?"

Before Nitro could answer, it responded to the name by grunting a bit.

"I think it likes that name, so I love it~"

Nitro finally smiled, and we called back our Stands.

Finally the elevator opened, but I wasn't allowed to run, so I walked the rest of the way.

"So, about us adopting you. We're not taking no for an answer. And we already have a room ready for you. It's just up to us to help you decorate it. We'll help you move all of your stuff to our place and everything. As for what you call us, you can call us mom and dad, or you can continue to call us hyung and noona. Just as long as you feel comfortable~. We're all your family now after all~"

He was silent for a bit, but then he snuggled closer to me and quietly purred.

"Thank you..., dad~~"

He already seemed comfortable calling dad from the get go.

I'm so glad about that~.

"No problem, son~"

After a few more seconds of walking, we finally made it to Suko's room.

Before I could knock, one of nurses opened the door and led us inside. We got to see just how luxurious the room was for the first time, and we were very impressed.

The nurse led me over to the bed where Suko was resting, and she looked absolutely exhausted.

"The delivery was a complete success. Both your son and your daughter are completely healthy babies. And there they are now~"

The nurse informed us.

Another nurse then entered the room, rolling a wide hospital cot with her. She parked it next to the hospital bed, and politely bowed before leaving the room.

We immediately saw them both laying next to each other, fast asleep...

I can't believe it...

They...

"They're so perfect..."

"They're so cute~~~!"

Nitro widely smiled.

"They're everything that I hoped they would be...~"

Suko softly spoke.

"I'm so glad to see you're recovering well Su~"

I gently moved the stray strands of hair out of her face, and kissed her forehead.

"Hi mom~!"

"Why hello Nitro. I'm so glad that you're officially a part of our family~"

Nitro then jumped out of my arms and moved one of the nearby chairs closer to the bed, before helping Suko sit up a bit.

He then happily sat himself on the free space on the bed next to her pillow. I then gently picked up our daughter and admired her before handing her to Suko.

I then picked up our son and sat down in the chair to admire him too. Both of their little faces are so soft and so very cute~.

They're even cuter than I thought they would be~. And Nitro seems to love them already too~.

"She looks like you~"

Suko smiled.

"He looks like you~"

I excitedly smiled back.

"Have you decided what their names are going to be~?"

Nitro asked.

Suko and I both nodded, knowing we had already come up with the perfect names three months ago. Knowing that they were twins, we made their names cutely similar.

She picked the name for our daughter.

"Huang Xinya~"

And I picked the name for our son.

"Huang Xinrei~"
