Nyle POV 

Jesus Christ my stomach is killing me. It's been only a fucking day since the thing with the ark. Why the fuck am I in so much pain today? I was fine yesterday. I can't be in labor, it's a little too early for that. But it's still a goddamn option which I hate. I'm not ready, I can't handle the pain that's happening to me now! How am I supposed to go through birth??

Shiro told us to wake up early so here we are on the bridge, waiting on him. It was like getting first place on a race when he finally showed up. 'Finally, I was starting to think he wasn't showing up.' 

"Okay, look," Shiro started, grabbing everyone's attention. "I now know for certain that Zarkon is tracking us through the Black Lion. We have to find some way to stop him." 

"How are we gonna do that?" Pidge asked. 

"We've never had this situation before. Two paladins battling for the same lion." Allura spoke. 

"Well, unless we want Zarkon taking control of Voltron every time we get close. I'll have to forge a new bond with my lion. One that's stronger than his." Shiro said firmly.

"Well, while you're working on that, the rest of us need to find some new teludav lenses otherwise we won't be able to travel via wormhole," Coran spoke up, everyone looking to him. 

"Is that something we have to mail order?" Hunk asked confused. 

"Are those things even made anymore after so long?" I spoke up while leaning back a little. 

"I don't know. Only a few Alteans could use the teludav 10,000 ago," Allura spoke. "They may not exist anymore."

"I think I may know where we can get some." Coran slightly shouted as he pulled up a photo of some kind of mean-looking aliens. Like someone shat in their cereal.

"Coran! You're not suggesting going to one of those filthy swap moons! The last time you went, those space pirates took you for everything you had." Allura yelled towards him. 

"Space pirates?" Lance questioned.

I shook my head at him and shrugged. "I learned that you should never question it." 

"The Unilu were traders and pirates that roamed the galaxies and dealt in black market goods. Umvy spice, by-tor water, little bottles of infinity vapor," Coran started explaining. "Of course, you had to bargain. No one could bargain like the Unilu. Last time, I ended up giving away three-quarters of my shipment of Lango in exchange for a used pogo oscillator." 

"Father was not pleased about that," Allura said with a smile on her face. 

"Well, while Coran is picking up his lenses I'll take you shopping for something sparkly," Lance says to Allura with a sly smirk on his face. 

"This isn't shopping! You're not wandering around saying 'Oooo What a lovely pink hat! This is so becoming.' No! I can't allow Allura to get anywhere near those filthy, lowballing Unilu hoodlums." Coran yelled out.

"But I'd love something sparkly," Allura said while giving Coran a pleading face. 

Look, you're the only one who can operate the Castle. You need to be resting, after all, you've been through," Coran started. "Now, let's ready a pod for our mission. We need to get in find the scaultrite lenses, and just get out."

"Shotgun!" Lance yelled out. 

"What? No, you have to be in the pod bay to call shotgun." Hunk argued. 

"Since when?" Lance spat back. 

"Uhh since forever? That's shotgun etiquette! I wrote the book." Hunk yelled as ran after Lance. 

I sighed and just sat back in my chair, grumbling. Keith came over and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Are you staying here? Or, are you gonna go?" 

I sighed and shake my head. "I'm not feeling too well. You go ahead, I'm gonna stay here and rest a little bit." 

He gave me a worried look and sighed some. "You, gonna be ok? Do we need to worry about it?" 

I laughed and shake my head. "No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." 

He gave me a smile and hums. "Call us back if you need us alright?" 

"I will Keith. Now get going. Maybe you'll beat Lance for riding shotgun." I laughed, him joining shortly after. 

"I can try. But, get better alright?" He spoke with a soft smile. 

"I'm gonna be alright Keith, now get outta here." 

He laughed and started walking away, leaving the bridge.

I leaned back some more and rubbed my head. I saw Allura talking to Shiro but paid no attention to it. I closed my eyes and pursed my lips. My stomach was acting up again, it was cramping up and twisting. Almost like someone was stabbing me with scissors. 

I saw Shiro leave and a pod flying off to the left of the ship. Allura came up to me and smiled. "Hey. You wanna do something fun while we wait for everyone to come back?" 

I looked at her and gave a smile. "I don't know Allura. I'm not feeling the best. My stomach is killing me. Maybe a little later?" 

She hums and nods. "Of course. Why don't you go and get some rest?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll let you know if it gets worse." 

She smiled at me. "Please do. I'd like to help if something happened." 

"Don't worry Allura, you'll be the first one to know if something happens to me," I spoke while slowly getting up from my chair. 

I waved to her before leaving to go to my room. As soon as I got to my bed, my stomach started cramping up again. But this time it hurt more than last time. I laid down and tried to ignore it as much as I could, though it was barely able to be ignored with how much it hurt. 

Keith POV

I can't stop thinking about if Nyle's sick or not. She didn't say much and it's worrying me a lot right now. What if something's really wrong with her and she's not telling us about it? It's driving me insane to not know. 

"Hello? Back passengers? Can you hear me?" Coran's voice snapped me out of my tiny trance and made me look up. 

"Oh, it's so comfy up here. Extra leg-room, heated seats! Oh, man!" Lance exclaimed, basically rubbing it in Hunk's face. 

"Stupid Lance. Stupid shotgun." Hunk mumbled under his breath. I had a whole seat to myself while Hunk and Pidge sat on the other side of me. 

"Now, these swap moons are very dangerous environments. So be on your toes. No weapons or communication devices of any kind! Also, I've brought along some disguises." Coran adds, all of us looking at each other with weird looks. 

Once we got there, Coran gave us some dirty-looking clothes and made us put them on. We went inside, it looked a lot like an earth mall. 

"Coran? This Unilu swap meet looks an awful lot like a regular mall." Pidge questions. 

"It does seem to be a little cleaner than I remember. Still, be vigilant," Coran exclaimed The Unilu are cut-throat wheeler-dealers. So keep your hands on your coin satchels." 

"My satchels are empty." Hunk snapped back as he messed with his clothes. 

"Good," Coran responded. 

I sighed. "Let's just get this over with." 

"Yes, right. Everyone, let's fan out, search the area for teludav lenses," Coran started. "We'll meet by the giant ticking clock here in one Varga. Don't be late, and try to blend in." 

Once Coran left we all threw away our disguises and went in different directions to find what we were looking for. 

Nyle POV 

Oh my god, I can't take this. I really can't take this anymore. This has been going on for hours, this isn't normal. Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Am I going into labor? Are these labor pains?? I was asking myself so many questions but I was interrupted by another pain wave, but it hurt more than the last ones. Yep, that's labor. There's no other explanation for it. 

Once the pain stopped I got up and grabbed my communicator, calling for Allura. My breathing was all out of wack and I was shaking badly. 

"Nyle? Is everything alright?" Allura's voice brought me out of my trance as I clenched the communicator in my fist. 

"No! Everything's not alright! T-that pain I was feeling earlier was labor pains! I'm in labor Allura! The baby's coming today!" I cried out when another contraction hit me. 

"What?! Now? Right now?" Allura shouted, I started to get a little annoyed. 

"Yes now! A-Allura I need you!" I yelled while panting more and more. 

"I'm on my way Nyle! Just breath!" She yelled back, turning off the comms between us. 

I laid back in my bed and trembled, yelling out in pain every now and again. After a couple of minutes, my door opened and Allura rushed in. "I'm here. I'm here Nyle." 

Tears were streaming down my face at this point and I was miserable. It hurt so bad and I could barely move. "A-Allura it hurts. I don't know what to do." 

"Um, h-how far apart the uh, the pains?" 

"I-I don't know! Not t-that far!" 

I felt a contraction hitting me and it was so much worse than the last few. I yelled out in pain and clenched my fists. "What do I do?" Allura questioned. 

"I don't know! W-what did Pidge tell you to do?!" I snapped back. 

Allura thought for a moment before looking back at me. "She, she said something about five fingers." 

I looked at her weirdly before shaking my head before she perked up. "Oh! She said that when you can fit five fingers then you can push!" 

I sat up a little and panted more. "That's, a-after my water breaks. What do I d-do in the meantime?" 

Allura bit her lip and looked away before humming softly. "Pidge said that maybe walking around would help it go faster. Think, maybe you could get up and walk?" 

I took deep breaths before slowly nodding and got up with Allura's help. We started walking around the castle but stayed close to my room. 

Hunk POV

Once we split off, I found one of those moving, standing converbelts and stood there to look around. I hum and kept my eyebrows furrowed. "Okay, if I were a 10,000-year-old wormhole lens, where would I be?" I mumbled to myself, still looking around. 

I saw a pair of aliens walking to I decided to ask them if they had seen anything at all. Excuse me, hey, hi, excuse me, hi!" I shouted while trying to go as fast as they were. "Wow, you guys are really booking here," I mumbled a little, still trying to catch up. 

"So I was just wondering if you guys knew where I could find some lenses for my ship around here?" I asked though they had just gotten faster so I went a little faster as well. "Is there a one-hour lens place around here or something?" 

I started having trouble trying to get as fast as them, starting to run out of breath. "Anything? Nothing? Never mind, you know what? I'll catch up with you guys later!" I stopped running just as they kept running away. 

I looked up and saw a food court just as the converbelt came to an end. "Oh! This is beautiful!" I exclaimed to myself and looked around before going up to the samples. 

"Maybe the scaultrite is under these samples. I don't know." I mumbled under my breath, trying a sample from the plate of food. "Rubbery," I said chewing the food. 

I moved onto the next plate and took a bite. "Sweet and salty." 

Walking over to the next plate I took the food off the stick. "So cold, but spicy." 

I went to another and it wasn't very good. "Mmm, eh What's next, what do you got?" I asked, to nobody in particular. 

"Five hundred GAC." Someone said and I turned around to see some guy holding a tray that I picked off from. 

"Five hundred GAC? Excuse me?" I asked, confused. 

"Sustenance provided by Vrepit Sal, that's me. Five hundred GAC is now owed." This, vendor told me. 

"I thought this was a 'free sample' situation." I tried to explain.

"Free?" He questioned.

"Of charge. You know, gratis? Look, I don't have any money. So, you know." Before I knew it I was chained to some kind of appliance in the kitchen. 

I turned to the old alien next to me. "Oh, man! How long you been here?"

"Sal put me in when I was just a little girl." She responded. 

I went pale and swallowed my spit. "Oh, no!" 

Keith POV 

While I was walking around the place, I found some guy who was selling knives. He seems like he could tell me about mine with how much he's talking up his knives. I stopped to listen, seeing if he really could tell me. 

"Let me show you these wonderful workings of the Galasu X-90 Extreme Blade System. It slices, dices, kills, slaughters, and skins and constantly stays razor sharp! Look at it cut through this bloato fruit." He spoke to the people in front of his setup. 

He threw up what I'm guessing is the bloato fruit and cut it before it hit the ground. "Paper-thin. How much would you pay for this knife? But wait, there's more! How many times have you had to fight off a charging rock monster and then go immediately to a picnic?" The alien started. "All the time, right? The Galasu can cut through rocks and still cut bloato fruit paper-thin. Now how much would you pay? Seriously, how much? I have a lot of these to unload."

The other guys that were there walked away but I walked forward towards him. "I just had a question." 

"Fine! What do you got?" He asked, coming a little closer to the counter as I placed my knife on it. 

"Have you ever come across something like this?" I asked.

The alien started to look over it and picked it up. "Whoa, this craftsmanship is incredible! And is this a luxite blade?" He started. "The planet they mine that from hasn't existed in decafebes. Where'd you get this?"

"Someone gave it to me," I replied. 

"Okay, that's vague," He started. "Tell you what I'll give you 1,000 GAC to take it off your hands." 

"It's not for sale." I spat. 

"Two thousand." He offered. 

"No, thanks. Give it back." I started getting more and more irritated as this guy kept talking. 

"How about this? I keep the knife and you beat it before security gets here. I know it's stolen." He grinned at me. 

"It's not stolen." I almost shouted. 

"Then tell me where you got it." He exclaimed some as I tried to grab my knife and ended up grabbing his wrist. He swung at me with his own knife so I used my own which was still in his hand so I just moved his wrists so I wouldn't get hit. When he tried to punch me I moved away, grabbed my knife, and ran off. 

"Hey! Come back with that!" I heard him shout and only kept running. 

Third Person POV

"A-Allura I can barely stand anymore. Shit, I can't do this." Nyle panted heavily as she leaned back against her bed. 

"Yes, you can Nyle! You can't give up when you're already this far!" Allura exclaimed as she held onto Nyle's hands. 

Nyle's water had broken a few minutes ago but she wasn't ready to start pushing yet. She shook her head and laid her head back while swallowing her spit. "I-I can't Allura it's too much." 

Allura brushed back Nyle's hair and let out a sigh. "You can do it Nyle. I know you can." 

Nyle laid back and bit her lip, taking a few minutes to catch her breath when she felt her body trying to push. "A-Allura I have to push." 

Allura immediately went down towards Nyle's legs and helped her get her pants off. "You're sure you have to push?"

"Yes! I'm more than sure!" Nyle yelled back, panting some. 

"Pidge said that you need to push when you feel a contraction," Allura mentioned to Nyle. 

Nyle nodded and started to calm her breathing a little more before starting to push when a contraction hit her. She yelled out in pain and held onto anything around her. 

Allura had reached and grabbed onto Nyle's hand, squeezing it some. "You're doing great. You got this." 

Nyle panted some and sobbed as she squeezed Allura's hand whenever she pushed. She kept pushing and pushing, Allura praising and encouraging her. "I see her head Nyle! You're almost there!" 

Those words only pushed Nyle further to wanna see her baby. The next contraction she screamed and pushed as hard as she could, panting some. "One more and then you'll be done, I promise." 

The teen took her time to catch her breath before finally pushing again, yelling out before she felt a huge wave of relief go over her. Allura caught the baby before she could fall and cleaned out her mouth and nose. Once her airways were clear she started to cry. Allura placed the baby on Nyle's chest, both the older girls shedding tears at the sight. 

Allura got up and got some scissors as well as a towel before cutting the cord off. She took the baby girl for a moment to clean her off and smiled at her before handing her back to her mother. "She's absolutely beautiful Nyle." 

Nyle smiled and wiped her tears before holding her daughter close to her chest. "She is. She looks, so much like her dad." 

Allura cleared her throat as she started to clean up. "Why don't you and Mereida rest in my room?" 

Nyle looked at Allura, sighing. "Allura no. That's your room and I'm a mess." 

The Altean let out a small laugh and shakes her head. "I can always wash the bed later. I insist Nyle, really. Your bed is a mess, I'll clean it ok? You just had a baby, you need rest." 

Nyle sighed before slowly getting up and held Mereida close to her chest. "Thank you, for helping me Allura. I, probably wouldn't be like this now if you weren't here." 

Allura smiled as she looked at Nyle. "It's no problem Nyle. I mean, I wouldn't have let you done this by yourself. Now go and get some rest alright?" 

The teen smiled at Allura and slowly made her way to the Altean's room while looking down at her daughter. "You're so beautiful." 

She smiled wider and went into Allura's room before laying down, putting herself and a pillow in between Mereida so she wouldn't fall off the bed. She sang a soft lullaby to the baby girl and watched her fall asleep before falling asleep herself. 

Pidge POV

While I was doing my part in the search for the lenses I needed to use the bathroom. So when I found the bathroom, I really couldn't figure out which one I was supposed to go in. 

"I'll just hold it," I mumbled under my breath. 

I walked around before finding Lance talking to some alien. "Lance, come on! We have to be back at the ticking clock in a half-hour." I said to him. 

He looked at me with a really wide smile. "But Pidge, wait, look at all this crazy Earth stuff this alien is selling!" He yelled slightly.

"We're supposed to be looking for the teludav lenses and you're looking in the one store we know for certain won't have-" I stopped in my tracks when I caught a glimpse of something. "Oh, my gosh! Is that Killbot Phantasm 1? The first journey to the depths of the demon sphere? Oh! Mercury Gameflux Two! With the original power glove that gives you infinite lives if you touch the index finger to the pinky! We have to have this! How much is this?" 

"Twelve hundred GAC." The alien replied. 

"Is that a lot?" I asked while turning to Lance. 

"Well, compared to what we have, which is none, yes. It's a lot." Lance answered while digging in his pockets. 

I put the box I was holding down and grabbed Lance, starting to run off. "We're gonna find some money," I started. "Come on! Don't sell that!" I yelled to the store owner. 

Hunk POV

I looked around as I kept washing the dirty dishes. "I gotta escape somehow," I whispered. "Maybe I can scrub through these cuffs."

I started staring at Sal to see if he was looking at me and noticed how repulsing the food had looked once it was given to him and he looked away to yell. "Forty-three!" 

Once he turned away I started furiously scrubbing on my cuffs. A loud noise tore me away from what I was doing and I saw that his robot making the food just destroyed itself. 

"Oh, not again!" Sal shouted once he turned "Now, who will be my sustenance preparer?"

'This is my chance.'

"I got this, Sal. Un-cuff me." I stood up as Sal laughed at me. 

"You?" 

"Trust me. I'm an enthusiastic gourmand with an incredible palate. Also, your robot is dead on the floor." I responded. 

"That last part is true," Sal said as he cuffed me to the front where the stoves were. "All right, work."

A piece of paper came through and I grabbed it. "Okay, now watch this! I can't read this. Doesn't matter. I'll just improvise." I started making something that came to mind and boy it smelled so good by the time it was finished. 

I'm kinda surprised about how it turned out because Nyle taught me this recipe and it was my first time trying to make it without her. And I think I did pretty well. 

"Do you smell how the tanginess of tuber masture really brings out the charred flavor from the palmagoren fillet?" I said, beaming. 

Sal said nothing to me and went to go pull on the boat horn-sounding thing. "No, no, we won't be using that. Let's just say, 'Number 44? Your order's up'." A woman came over with her ticket and took her food. "Enjoy your meal." 

We both watched as she sat down with her food and took a bite, a wide smile appearing on her face. 'Yes! Nyle's food wins again!' 

"What did you do to her face? It's cracking!" Sal exclaims. 

"She's smiling! She's enjoying her food," I replied as Sal handed me another order. "Okay, let's provide some sustenance!"

Nyle POV

I slowly started waking up to some rustling and looked around to see Allura getting something from her closet. I yawned and moved a little bit. She looked back at me and smiled. "Hey, you're awake. How do you feel Nyle?" 

I smiled a little bit and hum. "I'm feeling a little better Allura. My room, wasn't too hard to clean was it?" 

Allura let out a laugh and shakes her head, sitting at the end of the bed. "No, not at all. How's Mereida doing? She still sleeping?" 

I nod and look over at her, gently running my thumb over her cheek. "I still can't believe it. I'm a mom now, it's so crazy." 

Allura smiled at me as she hums. "It is crazy, isn't it? Is it ok if I hold her?" 

I nod and laughed. "Of course Allura, you don't have to ask. You helped bring her into this world." 

She smiled wider at me and gently picked Mereida up, smiling like an idiot at her. "Hello, little one. Welcome to the world. Or, rather the Castle of Lions." 

I laughed a little bit and sat up some, watching them. "Oh you're so beautiful Mereida You'll grow up to be so pretty," Allura spoke.

I laughed a little while yawning some. "She's already so pretty." 

Allura looked at me while bouncing Mereida. "You should rest more Nyle. I'll watch over Mereida for you." 

I bit my lip and hum softly. "Are you sure? You've already done so much." 

She let out a laugh and stood up. "I'm more than sure. Now you get some rest. I'll be in the bridge if you need anything." 

I smile before laying down. "Don't hesitate to come to get me if something happens princess." 

Allura smiled and shakes her head. "I won't Nyle. Now get to sleeping. You need it."

I watched her leave with Mereida in her arms before yawning some, slowly starting to fall asleep.

Hunk POV

"I said 'over medium'. Over medium, you rube!" I shouted. "Does this look over medium to you?" Once more and more food started coming out, Sal put me in charge of the place. Which resulted in more people lining up in front of the stand. 

"No, Chef," Sal responded. 

"Then let's get it right, huh? If it ain't perfect, it ain't coming out of this kitchen, people! Sauce me!" I yelled as Sal handed me a bottle of sauce. 

I put the sauce over the entree and smiled. "Now you're getting it! Bon appetite." 

"I got you now, pirate! Where are your friends?" An alien on a scooter yelled at me. 'Crap I need to go.'

"Don't forget what I taught you! Those are the fundamentals of cooking!" I yelled towards Sal as I hopped the counter and ran off. 

Pidge POV

"Oh, this tenner looks like the last one. So how much have we got?" Lance and I had found a way to get money by going into the fountain and pulling the money out from there. 

"Eleven hundred and ninety-six GAC," Lance says back at me. 

I let out a slight groan of frustration. "We're so close!" I looked over and let out a slight gasp. "Lance, look!" 

I pointed over to a kid who was about to throw a coin in the fountain. 

"Already on it!" Lance yelled. 

He threw it in and right before it went into the water, Lance swept up from under and grabbed it with his mouth. 'That's, sanitary...' 

"Yeah! Let's go!" I shouted while running off towards the shop with Lance. 

"Thanks!" He yelled to the dumbfounded kid.

Hunk POV

"Gotta hide! Gotta hide!" I yelled as I made a turn and stopped when I found myself at the bathrooms. 

I heard a sound come from the left before seeing Keith walking out. I grabbed him and wailed to him. "Keith! He's right behind me!" 

"Who?" He asked. 

The alien following me passed us but slowly started sliding back to us. "Pirate number two! My lucky day!" 

He started chasing after us as we ran. We turned a certain corner to find Lance and Pidge with a cow. "Time to get moving, guys!" I yelled out to them. 

"Security's on our tail!" Keith added. 

"There's the rest of the crew!" The security guy yelled out as we started running with the cow's platform before Lance looked back at us. 

"Everyone hop on Kaltenecker!" He yelled out. 

"Did you buy a cow?" I questioned. 

"It was free with purchase!" Pidge responds. 

We got on the cow and started to get faster than the guy on the scooter. 

As we fleed, we looked around for Coran before finding him come out of one of the stores. "There he is!" Pidge yelled out. 

"We gotta go, Coran!" Keith shouted as he pulled Coran up onto the cow. 

"I got the scaultrite lenses!" Coran exclaimed. 

"Scaultrite? Hold on a tick!" A shopkeeper from inside yelled. 

"Uh! No take-backs!" Coran yelled back as he held onto the side of the cow. 

"Get back here!" The security guy yelled as we made a turn to the exit, finally getting away. "Doggone it! You better run! Don't let me catch you in my jurisdiction again, pirates!"

"Oh, so you can't follow us outside, huh?" Lance mockingly says as he stood up. As he started to taunt the alien he hit his head on something on the ceiling and fell off the cow. 

"That's one for Varkon." The security guy had said under his breath before we got Lance and left. 

Third Person POV

Allura had made a makeshift bassinet for Mereida to rest in while she looked over her in the bridge. She had put her near the corner so she wouldn't disturb and wake her if she was loud. She had heard a noise and looked back to see the paladins and Coran walk in. 

"We got our lenses!" Coran exclaimed as Allura smiled, none of them noticing the bassinet in the corner yet.

"Excellent! Now, we can get the teludav up and running." Allura said as she quickly got up, not caring about the weird hairdo the mice put her in. 

"Where's Shiro?" Keith asked. 

Just ask Keith spoke, Shiro walked through the doors. 

"What did you do? Take a nap?" Allura asked. 

"Not exactly," Shiro says with a smile as he looked over to his right. "Is that a cow?"

"Mm-hmm, his name is Kaltenecker." Lance said with an almost proud smile as the cow mooed.

"So, did you find a way to bond with your lion?" Keith asked, turning Shiro's attention to him. 

"Yes, and we need to get moving. We're headed for the Blade of Marmora's headquarters." Shiro states as he crossed his arms. 

"I'll plot a course," Coran responds to Shiro as he started getting to work. 

"While you're doing that, I'm gonna hook up the video game Lance and I bought," Pidge says with a smug tone. 

"Yeah! Let's get this baby set up." Lance exclaimed. 

A moment later Pidge screamed. "Where can we... How do... Nooooo!" 

Allura was quick to shush Pidge. "Pidge be quiet. You'll wake up-" Just as she was talking she was interrupted by a loud cry and she sighed. "I just put her to sleep."

Coran blinked a few times before he noticed the bassinet in the corner of the room. "Is that, a baby?" 

Allura hums and went over, gently picking up the small baby. "Mereida made an appearance while you all were away. Nyle's in my room resting. I told her to go in there while I cleaned her room up." She turned and saw the group staring at her with wide eyes. "What?" 

Shiro sighed as he rubbed his head. "Why, why didn't you come to get me Allura? I could've helped." 

Allura hums and bites her lip. "She asked for my help. And all of you were busy, so I just did what I could." 

Hunk stepped closer and looked at his new niece. "Allura can I, hold her?" 

Allura let out a small laugh and gently handed Mereida over to Hunk. He stared down at the girl with a smile before looking up at Keith, his smile getting wider and wider. "She looks like you. Come here." 

Keith broke out of his trance and slowly came over, looking at the baby girl. He only stared at her, not being able to say a word but a small smile made its way to his face. He gently took the little girl from Hunk and stared down at her. 

He went back into his trance, trying to take in the fact that he was a dad now. It wasn't until he heard Shiro call his name a few times that his head shot up to see him giving him a smug smile. "Huh? What?"

Shiro let out a small laugh as he crossed his arms. "You alright? You blanked out."

Keith smiled a bit and let out a chuckle. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." He looked back down at Mereida and hums. "I'm perfect."
