It's been a month since Stan received word that his mother is pregnant. He was still trying to process what just happened as the weeks go by, but was able to make it thanks to Neo and the others. Plus, to keep his mind off of it, he had to take on the dreaded mid terms that were coming up. Truth was, even Neo and the gang were not looking forward to id, except Isabelle.

Finally, after weeks of gruesome studies, the gang was free and ready for the holidays. As they departed, they felt mentally drained and were on the verge of collapse.

"God. That was torture." Neo complained.

"Agreed." Loona agreed. "I don't think I want to go through that again."

"It's not that bad." Isabelle said.

"Lucky you." Octavia whispered.

"Welp." Stan said. "Now that the holidays are here, I can't wait to see them again!"

"You mean Nika and Dasha?" Krystal asked.

Stan nodded. "Since they are finished with the Mid terms as well, they want to spend the holiday with me and my family. Plus, Alaria is gonna be with us too. It's a win-win."

Neo was looking forward to seeing her again. After being in great care by Nika and Dasha, Alaria started to feel even more safer and decided to stay with them, which brought more joy.

"Oh! Stan." Isabelle spoke up. "How's your mother handling the upcoming ba-" Neo instantly covered the yellow dog's mouth inn a desperate attempt to stop her from bringing up Audrey being pregnant. But it was too late.

"Oh." Stan said as he looked down, worrying about the whole thing once more. "I'm gonna be a big brother because of Rox."

"Stan." Krystal came to him. "Listen. It probably won't be a bad thing. I mean, What if the little baby looks up to you? Who knows. Maybe you'll be the younger sibling's hero."

Stan looked up to her, thinking about what she just said. "But...I..."

Loona decided to lick Stan in the face just to get his attention. "Stan. She's right. Maybe it'll be great. And besides, we're jealous."

"Jealous?"

"Yea." Neo answered. "I'm...the only one born before my world was gone. Plus, Master Derick is not searching for any romantic relationship. So I'm gonna be the only one. But sometimes, I do wish for a sister or a brother."

"Same." Krystal added. "But I may be the only one."

"My mom passed away when I was young." Loona said.

"I...doubt my parents will get another one." Octavia said.

"I have a brother, and he's wonderful." Isabelle said. "Stan. Maybe you should give it a shot."

After thinking about this, Stan decided to at least give it a try. True he did enjoy being the only child so far, but thinking about getting a brother/sister really got him thinking. Afterwards, he sighed. "Ok. I'll...give it a try."

"Awesome." Neo smiled. "Now come on. I can't wait to see them." He started running pass them.

"Wait for us!" Loona said as she and the rest followed. Stan smiled as he ran to catch up with them.

"Little man!" Dasha and Nika both shouted as they hugged Stan.

"Hey Nika. Hey Dasha. How was the semester?" Stan asked.

"It was ok." Dasha said.

"Boring as hell." Nika said. "But at least it's over for now. Now, we get to spoil you rotten."
