My Reason For Living

The End

The room was silent, Peter and Drax's jaws were dropped, and Gamora was covering her mouth in shock.

Rocket just stood there staring at the baby, when the baby's eyes opened to reveal Sarah's eyes, she looked at him and reached for him. Rocket walked slowly to the baby, gently took her from Sarah, stared at the baby as it cuddled into his chest, and then he cried. Except the tears were of joy, he started to laugh and the little raccoon baby began to giggle along with her father. Rocket walked over to Sarah and gave a kiss filled with a new kind of love, Peter and the others were crying along with them.

Peter then spoke up after drying his tears, "So, what are you going to name her?"

Sarah looked to him and the others, and smiled to her baby.

"Her name will be..." she looks at Rocket for a second and looks back. "Her name will be Kira"

After Nova Corps got the news that Sarah was released for the hospital, they called for Sarah and the others over, and after giving a congratulations to Sarah, who was holding Kira, and Rocket who was holding a poet of dirt with a single twig in it, as they were still smiling. Nova Prime then got right to business.

Peter stared completely amazed and surprised at Corpsman Dey as they told him the new information, they found out about him.

"Why would you even know this?"

"When we arrested you, we noticed an anomaly in your nervous system, so we had it checked out." He explained.

Peter looked at him confused. "I'm not Terran?"

"You are half Terran." Nova Prime said, answering his question. "Your mother was of Earth. Your father, well, he's something very ancient we've never seen before."

"That could be why you were able to hold the stone for as long as you did." Gamora said to Peter.

Sarah grinned at him. "That must be why I didn't die, because of you, I lived."

Rocket and Sarah shared a loving smile to each other and then to Kira, who was sleeping peacefully, as Nova Prime spoke up again.

"On behalf of the Nova Crops, we'd like to express our profound gratitude for you help in saving Xandar. If you would follow Denarian Dey, he has something for you."

Peter nods to her. "Thank you, Nova Prime." Gamora and Sarah said thank you as well and they proceed to follow Dey to what they were to receive.

As they walk, Sarah walks next to Gamora and Drax as Gamora talks to him.

"Your wife and child shall rest well knowing that you have avenged them."

Drax smiles at her and continues to walk. "Yes. Of course, Ronan was only a puppet. It's really Thanos I need to kill."

Gamora gaped at him as he walked ahead of them and Sarah looked at him in disbelief.

"There is literally nothing that will make him satisfied." She mutters and for the first time in which she was, she would ever hear, Gamora gave her a small laugh.

Sarah spun her head, carefully holding Kira, at Gamora in surprise and she laughed a little more, walking ahead as well.

"Man, This is just full of surprises." Sarah said softly as she smiled.

When they all stepped outside, their eyes widened in surprise, and Peter's face lit up like a kid on Christmas day.

"We tried to keep it close to the original as possible. We salvaged as much as we could." Dey said sounding proud.

"Wow, I..." Peter forced out, completely speechless.

"Oh thank god. The ship is clean, no way was I going to raise my baby in that pig pen." Sarah said completely serious, Rocket nodded agreeing with her, Peter sent them a glare before turning back over to Dey.

"Thank you"

"I have a family that is alive, because of you. Your criminal records have been expunged. However, I have to warn you about breaking laws in the future."

At the sound of their records getting cleaned. Rocket looked up at Dey.

"Question. What if I see something that I want to take and it belongs to some else?

Dey looked at him, slightly amused. "You will be arrested"

"But what if i want it more then the person who has it?"

"Still illegal"

Rocket shook his head. "That does not follow. I want it more, sir. Do you understand.

Sarah begins to laugh, leading Rocket to the ship, with Gamora following behind her, chuckling.

"What are you laughing at?" Rocket asked looking at her.

Sarah shakes her head at him, still laughing, "Rocket, you can't arrested, we have a little girl now, she is going need her daddy to protect her."

Rocket looks at Kira with soft smile. "Yeah. I do have to protect, my little angel."

As they walked in, Sarah sat down in her seat, with holding Kira, having Rocket on her lap, and Groot's pot on his lap. Which they looked down on to see the small stick turned into a mini Groot, who turns to see Sarah, and Rocket looking at him with small smiles. Baby Groot looked at Kira curiously, Rocket decided to speak up, "Hey Groot, Buddy, say hello to Kira, me and Sarah's daughter." He said with a giant smile. Baby Groot looked shocked for a minute, and then began to squeal and dance as much as he could, with Sarah and Rocket laughing at him.

As Peter sat down in the pilot's seat, he turned to the group, "What should we do next?, Something good?, Something bad?, a bit of both?" He asked them, a small smile on his lips, as music begins to play in the back ground.

Gamora smiled and leaned over. "We'll follow your lead Star Lord."

Kira, who just woke up in Sarah's arms, giggled and clapped her tiny paws three times. Sarah and Rocket looked at her with loving smiles, and then Sarah kissed her daughter on the head, followed by Rocket. Sarah looked over to Peter, "You heard Kira, Peter." Sarah said with a big smile.

Peter grinned and started the ship. "A bit of both, it is!"

The Milano lifted off the ground, as Sarah and Rocket shared a loving kiss, knowing no matter what, the Guardians of the Galaxy will protect the universe and their family.
