A week had passed after ratchet, clank, kit and rivet were taken hostage by Rokah, both thought they had forgotten the events that had occurred. Instead they decided to have a big party at their house, inviting all the friends they could. While everyone was having fun inside the house, ratchet and rivet were sitting in the back garden admiring the weather and feeling a warm and pleasant wind under their fur, making the environment much more comfortable.
Ratchet loved the idea of being a father and kept making plans for the very distant future "hey rivet, what do you think about clank being the godfather?" asked ratchet with excitement in his voice.
"I think it's a great idea... do you think he'll get a good education from me?" Rivet said with trepidation in his voice. "Why this question out of nowhere?" Ratchet said.
"I've never been a very polite person, what if he or she takes after me and is rude like me?" Rivet said in a worried tone, hugging his legs and placing his head on his knees.
"no one ever said you'd be a bad mother" said ratchet holding rivet's hand so she could calm down. "you're going to be the best mother in the world" ratchet said.
"How long will it take for the baby to be born?" Rivet said, running his hand over his belly, as a week had passed, Rivet's belly began to show signs of pregnancy, growing a little and becoming a little harder.
"What if he doesn't like me?" ratchet asked making rivet give him a look to make him stop talking nonsense. "ugh ratchet" said rivet sighing loudly. "it could happen" ratchet said mocking the situation.
"the baby isn't even born yet and you're already saying that he won't like you?" Rivet said, lying down on the soft grass of the garden. "There are cases like that, you know?" ratchet said laying down next to rivet to admire the sun together.
"you're being silly, ratchet, even if we have three children, no one has to like you" said rivet, playing with ratchet's thoughts, making him laugh at the same time.
Ratchet gets up and kneels in front of Rivet who was still lying down. "Rivet, listen, every time I'm with you, I feel capable of doing anything, even the most dangerous things, you make me feel strong and much more determined" Rivet stays on his knees waiting for Ratchet to finish speaking because his words caught his attention. "Rivet... all the times you saved me I'll never forget, the times you took care of me when I needed it most, and those things are priceless." After Ratchet stops talking for a few seconds, he picks up a small square box. The position Ratchet was in, the box in his hands, everything made Rivet realize right away what Ratchet was talking about.
"Rivet... you are the love of my life, and I never want to be separated from you" said Ratchet, opening the box slowly, revealing a ring to his beloved, a ring made of purple quartz.
"Rivet... will you marry me?"
The female lombax only remains silent for a few seconds, only to throw herself on top of Ratchet, leaving him surprised by her sudden attitude, the grass cushioning the fall of Ratchet who was still recovering from his injuries. Ratchet noticed that his beloved was crying.
"Of course I accept" Rivet said, sobbing and crying deeply, they were tears of happiness. Ratchet thinks of nothing other than hugging her and comforting her in his garden.
The future that Ratchet and Rivet wanted was realized, they had both built a family together. It didn't take long for the news to spread across countless planets across the galaxy. Kit was responsible for spreading the news quickly to the monks in savali who immediately celebrated. Rivet visited the morts again to break the news, and so all the morts celebrated this great day, even more so knowing that Rivet had become pregnant by a lombax.
