It had been about two months since Shiro and Zanthea's wedding and they were visiting Daibazaal along with Keith and Bellatrix. They all gathered in the largest lounge room in the palace after Zarkon did what he had to do for the day. Elara could sense something was off with Zanthea, her scent was slightly different and her fur was a tad bit shinier. She already knew exactly what was up with but chose not to say anything. Keith had just pulled Elara and Zarkon aside to talk somewhere else, and made up an excuse so Bellatrix wouldn't get suspicious.

"I have a sneaking suspicion I know what you're about to do..." Elara said.

"You do? Oh shit..." Keith sighed.

"Cut to the chase." Zarkon said impatiently.

"Ok, ok, ok, is this good enough for Bella?" Keith asked pulling out a stunning red and silver ring.

"Oh yes..." Elara said, staring at the ring.

"NO, NO IT'S NOT! YOU'RE MARRYING MY OTHER LITTLE GIRL? ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Zarkon raged.

"HEY! Shut the hell up! They are ADULTS! Adults Zarkon! Pull your head out of ass and let them live their lives." Elara snapped.

"Damn it..." Zarkon mumbled.

"Well? Yes, no, maybe?" Keith asked.

"Yes, it's perfect for her." Elara said.

Keith turned his gaze to Zarkon, who was NOT happy at all.

"Anything to say?" Keith asked slyly.

"You can marry her, however, you know what you need to do." Zarkon said deviously.

"I'd love to have a little duel." Keith said.

"Festive." Zarkon said.

"Excuse me! That's my line..." Elara said.

They laughed a little before walking back into the room where they found Bellatrix and Zanthea bickering. Everyone else but Shiro looked lost.

"Just tell them Zanthea!" Bellatrix shouted.

"I'm not going to tell them today Bellatrix! The answer is no!" Zanthea snapped.

"Oh we already know what's going on." Zarkon said.

"What!?" Shiro yelped.

"Yeah, congratulations, we are officially old." Elara sighed.

"Sendak hand them over." Zarkon said.

Sendak tossed Zarkon and Elara two tiny baby outfits.

"How?" Zanthea asked.

"We saw it coming." Zarkon said.

"Helicopter parents..." Shiro sighed.

"Is there a problem?!" Zarkon growled.

"No sir!" Shiro said quickly.

"Good, now congratulations, if it's a girl, which it probably most likely will be, she will be spoiled rotten." Zarkon said.

"Absolutely." Elara chimed in.

Zanthea started crying instantly, mood swings attacked her pretty damn fast, Shiro knew it would be a long 11 months.

"Mood swings are a pain." Elara sighed.

"Good luck Shiro good luck." Zarkon said. Shiro nodded and gulped nervously.

"Yeah... I'm going to need it..." he said.

"If you make her cry, I will rip out your spine and make you watch Venus and Kosmo use it as a chew toy." Zarkon threatened.

"I can't say I'll stop him..." Elara hissed.

Everyone but Shiro went dead silent.

"I'm screwed..."
