"Pidge! Rora!" Matt called. "We've tracked down dad!"

"This is great news." Shiro said. "We're gonna go there and save him, okay?"

Rora smiled. "Guys, please be careful. This is the first mission with Matt and Id like it if my brother didn't die."

"Yeah, Rora, it's also my first mission with my son here." Shiro shrugged. "You know. The baby. That can't defend itself."

"Him, Shiro, not it." Kassy replied from the other side of the room.

A few weeks later, they found the ship Sam was on.

"Alright. Paladins, to your lions." Shiro said. "Kassy, Ulaz, love you. Let's do this."

The Paladins got to their lions.

"I'm getting in there." Pidge said.

"Pidge, no. I know you're excited to see your dad, but we can't rush into this." Shiro replied. "Here's the plan. Keith, Lance, you fight any soldiers. Pidge, locate your dad. We're both going to get him. Hunk, make sure no soldiers get into the castle."

There was some affirmative hums from the team, and the group of four entered the ship, Hunk defending the castle.

Keith and Lance got to work fighting the Galran soldiers, giving Pidge and Shiro enough time to split up and run off to find Sam.

Hunk noticed some soldiers make their way to the castle.

"Coran! We have company!"

"Well- stop them! Shoot them down!"

Hunk got to work, shooting down some of the soldiers as they entered the ship. He got the majority of them down - all except two.

"Guy, there's 2 entering the ship now. Prepare."

"We're 5 against 2. 6 if you count the baby. We've got this."

Coran got up from his seat, right as the two soldiers burst through the door. He immediately went for one, struggling with him.

Kassy turned and saw the other one going towards the crib where her son was, knife in hand.

"No!" she screamed, running over, slamming into him with her full strength.

He swung at her face with the knife, leaving a deep gash in her cheek, however she barely even reacted, just pounding into his face over and over, before snatching the knife from his hands, and with all her might, forcing it straight through his forehead.

She stood up, shaking, covered in both his and her own blood, and checked on the baby, who was sleeping peacefully. She exhaled, realising then she hadn't breathed or blinked that whole time, and glanced over at Coran, who (with Matt and Allura's help) was fighting off the other soldier. Once he was unconscious, they glanced over at her.

"Your cheek!" Matt said. She reached up and touched her cheek, wincing as her fingers showed up bloody.

"Well, I'd rather a scar on my cheek than a dead son." she mumbled.

"Shiro, are you done?" Coran asked.

"We've found Sam. We're making our way back now."

"Wonderful. Ignore the dead body."

"Huh?"

"Doesn't matter."

A few moments later, the rest of the group showed up - with Sam.

"Dad!" Rora smiled, running over and hugging him.

"My daughter!" he smiled, looking up and seeing Matt. "And my little son. Come here. And you, Pidge."

The family hugged, the relief of them all being in the same room once again sinking in.

"Just missing Mom and Bae Bae now." Matt laughed.

"Don't, you'll set Rora off again." Pidge replied.

"Set me off? I've been set off." Rora cried.

"Right." Sam pulled away. "Introduce me to everyone."

"That's Hunk, Lance, Keith, Allura, and Coran. And you know Shiro and Kassy. And that's some random dead Galra soldier, Jesus, what happened in here?" Pidge asked.

"Oh, yeah, let's dump these guys." Coran said.

"Doesn't answer my question." Pidge mumbled.

"Um, let's just put it this way. Don't mess with Kassy's baby."

"Baby?" Sam asked. "God, what did I miss?"

"So, basically Shiro and Kassy got drunk and had sex and didn't use space condoms and now they have a space baby called Ulaz."

"When did this happen?"

"Um, like, 10 months ago." Kassy replied.

"Kassy, go to the medic bay so I can look at that cut. Sam, make yourself comfortable. Be right back!" Coran grabbed the two bodies and wandered off. Kassy wandered off, and Allura followed.

"Kassy? Can we talk?"

"Sure, is something up?"

The two girls headed to the medic bay, and sat down.

"It's great that Pidge and Rora are finding their family. But, I... quiznak, I miss my dad, okay? And I thought... well, you know what it's like."

Kassy shook her head. "Im sorry, Allura, I don't know what it's like. My dad doesn't even know Im alive."

"What even happened?"

"My mom met my dad when she was in South America, and didn't realise she was pregnant until she got home. So he doesn't know about me."

"Oh. Right." Allura paused. "Well, you have siblings. And you know how it is to miss someone."

Kassy nodded. "Yeah. I do."

Allura got some anti septic. "This might sting." she said, putting it on a bit of cotton wool, gently pressing it against her face. Kassy winced. "Sorry, sorry."

Allura placed her other hand on the other side of Kassy's face as she gently cleaned the cut. Kassy placed one of her hands on Allura's steadying hand.

Allura paused for a moment, breaking her concentration to look into Kassy's eyes.

"Right!" There was Coran's voice. "Oh, Allura, good. I'll take over from here."

Allura shifted, breaking eye contact. "See you, Kassy."
