Children Of Lotor

Four

This pic is just everything. ^^

Ash woke up that morning bright and early. He threw the blanket off him and dashed down the hallway to his parents room.

"Mom! Dad!" He jumped onto the bed, pushing on Lance's chest.

"Ugh! Ash!" Lance wiped his eyes. He grabbed onto Ash, flipping him over. "Uncle Shiro is teaching you well, I see. You nearly murdered me!" Ash laughed as Lance tickled him all over. It caused Keith to wake up.

"Mhm..boys, what's going on?" He turned over slightly. Using his large belly as an arm rest.

"It's my birthday!" Ash managed to say over his laughter. Lance stopped tickling him for a moment.

"That's right!" Lance picked Ash up and tickled him fiercely. "Mi hijo, is eleven today!"

"Ah! Papa! Stop it!" Ash laughed, trying to get his fathers hands away.

"It's birthday boy tickle time!" Lance called. Keith chuckled and watched as his lover and son playfully wrestled. He went to go move, but a surge of sharp pain hit him.

"Ooo, ow!" He held his very stretched out belly. Lance stopped tickling Ash and looked over at Keith.

"You alright?" He looked worried and like he was about to panic. Keith breathed in and out deeply a couple times.

"Yeah. Yeah, we're all good." He smiled to reassure Lance. "Just a lot of moving around." Lance smiled back.

"Alright. Just making sure." He leaned over to give Keith a small peck on the cheek before hauling Ash over his shoulder and carrying him out the bedroom. Ash laughing the whole time. "Let's see if Uncle Hunk has your special birthday breakfast ready."

Hunk was cooking Ash's favorite food. Food goo with a chocolate milkshake made by Kaltenecker's milk.

"Hey, Pidge?" Pidge stood upright on the couch and looked over at Hunk.

"Yeah, whatcha need?" She was typing the last invitations for Ash's surprise party.

"Can you get Coran or someone to get me more milk? Looks like I don't have enough for the milkshakes." Hunk looked over at Pidge from his cooking. He had pulled out the two layers for the cake out the oven and set them on the stove top.

"Yeah, just give me a second." Pidge quickly typed in the last invitation to Krolia and Kolivan. She then called Allura. "Hey, Princess?" There was a brief moment of silence before Allura came in the other line.

"Yes Pidge. I'm here."

"Hunk needs more milk from Kaltenecker." Pidge heard Allura sigh.

"I'm not too fond with the space cow. It's kinda weird where the milk comes from." She took a moment to breathe. "But I'll have Coran get some for you." Pidge smiled even though she knew Allura couldn't see it.

"Thanks." She ended the call and set her little altean device to the side of her. "Coran is getting some for you, Hunk."

"Sounds good." He smiled over at the green paladin who gave a thumbs up back.

"Oh, wow!" Ash looked around the front part of the castle. It was decorated nicely with multi colored streamers hanging above and a few red and purple balloons tied together. "This looks super awesome!" He smiled wide and ran around to look at other things. Snacks were set up on a table with different sized gifts at the other end.

"Dios, chico.." Lance shook his head and chuckled when he saw Ash shaking one of the bigger gifts. "You'll get to open it later." Ash put the gift down and frowned. Allura had came over. Her arm locked with Shiro's normal arm.

"Hey, Lance. Where's Keith? I'd expect him to be out here for his son's birthday." Lance sighed. He was favoring a red plastic cup. He looked down into the weird pink liquid.

"Yeah. He was having pretty bad pains. I thought it was best for him to stay in bed."

"Oh, really? It's been awhile. Maybe you should go check on him." Shiro said before taking a sip of his own pink drink. Lance looked around at the party. Kolivan was showing off his sword to Lilith, Ash putting on multiple party hats on Bi Boh Bi and Krolia and Axca talking tech with Pidge. Lance smiled slightly and looked back at Shiro.

"He's missing out on a lot. I'll see if he's doing better." Lance set his cup down on a solo round table and walked away from the noisy party. "Hey, babe?" Lance knocked on the door to their room. No answer. Maybe he's asleep. Lance thought in his head. He opened the door and walked in. "Hey, Keith. Are you doing alri- KEITH!" Lance's eyes widened big time. Keith laid on the bed with his head propped up on a pillow and holding his legs up. His pants and underwear thrown on the floor. He looked over with a sweaty and tear stained face.

"L-lance..oh god..!" He squeezed his eyes shut, tilting his head back. His face going red as he pushed. Lance couldn't comprehend what was happening. It hit him so suddenly that his first ever biological child was about to be born.

"Hold up..uh!!" Lance panicked and looked around the room. "I-I'll Get Allura or uh..K-Kolivan!"

"N-no! Definitely not Kolivan!" Keith yelled making Lance stop. "J-just...come over and help." He tried to push again. This time screaming. Lance ran over to the end of the bed and looked down. The head was out. He could see a little fluff of chestnut colored hair. Lance teared up slightly and smiled.

"That's it, baby.." he reached for Keith's hand. His palms sweaty too. "Just a few more pushes."

"I told Lance to check on Keith.." Shiro said when everyone asked where he was. Krolia sighed. Hands on her hips.

"They're going to miss out on Ash blowing out his candles. I'll go get them." Krolia excused herself before walking to the section where the paladins rooms were. "Lance? Son?" She knocked and then opened the door.

"You did so good, Keith." Lance was holding up a slimy baby. It's umbilical cord still attached. It's wails and cries filled the room. Keith smiled weakly. His head on the pillow and arms at his side. Lance smiled back and then looked over at Krolia. "Oh, Krolia. Look.." he lifted up the baby a bit more for her to see. "Your new grandchild.." Krolia's eyes lit up as she came closer.

"I see it's more human.." She said and took out her small dagger. Lance looked at her, confused.

"What's that for?" He watched as Krolia took the umbilical cord in hand and cut it clean off.

"You can't keep it all yucky like that forever.." She then took the baby and went to go wash it up. "Grandma got you little cub.." Lance stood there and shrugged. He chuckled softly to himself.

"Galran grandma's.."

"I get to share my birthday with the baby?!" Ash looked up with wide eyes at Lance. The party had to be paused since everyone was wanting to see the new baby.

"Looks like it, Ash.." Lance answered. Everyone was in the front room waiting to hear how the baby was and Keith. Ash sat back, crossing his arms.

"It better be a little brother.." Lance chuckled. Allura was just coming out with the baby all cleaned up and wrapped in a lilac blanket.

"Looks like your out of luck.." Ash jumped up and ran over to Allura.

"Is it a boy?!" He tried jumping up to see. Allura smiled as she handed the baby to Lance.

"It's a girl." Lance smiled and gently brushed his knuckles over his daughters small face.
