Chapter 10
Skellington and Afton were so happy that they ran over to Pixle and hugged her.
"Don't you dare scare us like that again! We thought we were gonna lose you!" Skellington said.
"No promises," Pixle replied.
Pixle then noticed Sharlette and M-minus as they entered the room.
"M-minus, Sharlette, I wanted to thank you," Pixle said.
"For what? We didn't do much at all?" M-minus replied.
"But you did. If you weren't there, you wouldn't have been able to call Sharlette to get all of us here in time. So thank you," Pixle said.
"You're welcome,"
"So Pixle, what are you going to do about the baby?" Sharlette asked.
"Baby? What baby?" Pixle was confused.
"Yeah so um about that.... Pixle, remember the incident where the potion backfired on you a while back?" Skellington asked.
"Yes?"
"Well it turns out it made you pregnant," he continued.
Pixle sat down for a moment to process the entire thing. This is something she wasn't sure would happen. She didn't know what to think, Pixle was only 16 and this was one of the hardest things to process for her.
"Pixle, if you don't want to keep the baby, I can take care of it for you," Afton said.
"No... I want to keep it," Pixle replied.
"Are you sure, Pixle? It's a lot of work taking care of a baby Creetling," Henry said.
"I'm sure. Besides, what kind of a person would I be, if I just gave away my own child?" Pixle asked.
"Fair enough. And if you need anything, we'll be here to help you," Skellington replied.
"Thanks guys. You really are the best friends a Creetling could ever have," Pixle said.
"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but there's somebody else here that wants to see you," said one of the doctors.
Just then, the little Bat-Wolf came in but it had pink stripes instead of blue this time. Pixle was so happy to see that it was okay all this time that she got up and pet the little creature. The Bat-Wolf then jumped into Pixle's arms and hugged her. The Bat-Wolf already knew that Pixle was pregnant so it nuzzled Pixle's stomach.
"I think I know why that bat-wolf was following us," Afton said.
"Why?" Pixle asked.
"You Pixle. You two must be connected in a way, and when we first found her, she must've sensed the baby somehow. So she wanted to protect you," Afton answered.
"I guess that makes sense. All bat-wolves have a human-like partner and it's usually a werecreature or Entity related," Henry replied.
"That must be why her stripes changed color," Pixle added.
Everybody was happy that the trouble was over, and two months later, Pixle gave birth to a baby Creetling boy that was part skeleton. She named him Kestin as a way to remember the journey he went through. In Creetling Kestin means "unknown passage".
As for the little bat-wolf, she remained with Afton and slowly transformed to a black and white pagon(pony dragon). Bat-Wolves have a habit of changing into different creatures from time to time.
Sharlette and M-minus were chosen to become members of Belle, Pixle, and Skellington's team as a thank you for saving Pixle's life. Everything was back to normal and Kestin will grow up to be a fine young man one day.
THE END!!
