Chapter 45
Kassy woke up, in Shiro's bed, with him fast asleep next to her. She immediately checked, and was relieved to find herself fully dressed. She sat up, slowly, and looked down at herself. That baby bump was really coming in.
Shiro stirred next to her, and he yawned, sitting up. "Morning."
"Morning, honey." she said. He glanced downwards.
"Jesus, where'd that come from?" he laughed, rubbing her stomach.
She shrugged. "No idea."
"Daddy!" Ulaz ran into the room and jumped into bed.
"Morning, buddy!" he smiled as Ulaz cuddled up.
"Daddy, I had a dream where the world blew up!"
"That sounds scary."
"And the explosion made me go into space. Like mommy and daddy."
"Really? Did you have fun in space?" Shiro asked.
Ulaz nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I saw aliens!"
"Woah, sounds exciting. Right, who wants breakfast?" he asked.
"Me!" Kassy said.
"Okay, stay with mom. I'll go make you both breakfast."
Shiro got out of bed, not putting a shirt on, and went downstairs.

"Okay, so, this is the 6 year anniversary interview." the Kerbros were sat in a news studio and had some random worker talking to them. "Here are the microphones, now just be natural and answer the questions naturally."
Shiro nodded. "Thank you."
"Okay, we are live in 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!" the interviewer said. "Welcome back to the Morning Show, I'm Robert, and today is a special episode, as we have the 4 martyrs of the Kerberos mission with us! Would you all like to introduce yourselves?"
"My name is Takashi Shirogane, known to most people as Shiro." Shiro said.
"I'm Matthew Holt."
"Im Kassiopeia Blackwood."
"My name is Samuel Holt."
"Okay, so, it was the 6 year anniversary of the Kerberos mission around... 4 months ago, I believe?"
"Yep, 4 months ago." Shiro said. "Which is absolutely insane, I mean, it was so life changing. As you can imagine."
"So, Kerberos was supposed to be a normal mission, nothing special, correct? Can you discuss why it was so sensationalised from the get go?"
Matt spoke. "It was the furthest anyone would have been from Earth. That's something quite remarkable, and I think the media was aware of that. And, of course, we went missing, which was something that would end up being sensationalised no matter what."
"Have you found your relationship with your families have been strained, considering they were under the impression you had died, and presumably spend alot of time grieving you?"
"I mean, as father and son, Kerberos and the following events brought Matt and I closer than we've ever been. My wife and daughter said they never quite believed we were dead, so they never allowed themselves to get over us, so to speak. We're a very close family, and we've been spending a lot of time together since returning to Earth." Sam said. Matt nodded.
"Yeah, I mean, all I had when I came back was my 2 siblings. Maeve was always herself, she immediately asked me an influx of questions. Unfortunately, she passed away a few months ago, however my relationship with my brother is going strong." Kassy said.
"And are you all close to each other?"
"We're very good friends, yes." Shiro said. "Matt is like a brother to me, Sam has always been my role model, and Kassy is my closest friend in the world."
"Yeah, we have a groupchat." Matt said. "It's called the Kerbros."
The interviewer nodded. "Now, I think the audience will agree when we say we wanna know the details of what happened after Kerberos. It's a question you all seem to brush off when asked, so here and now, we wanna know the answer."
"I mean, it was incredibly traumatic for us, in particular Kassy and Shiro, so it's difficult for us to talk about." Sam said. "We can confirm we all were captured by the Galra. What happened to us was different for each of us."
"And it's not something you want to discuss?"
"If we do, it will be on our own terms." Kassy said. "Shiro and I are both struggling with post traumatic stress disorder, Matt has anxiety, and Sam has depression, so it's not information we just want to share in an interview."
"Right, right. So, now, I have a question directed towards Kassy."
"Right, ask away."
"So. I was wondering how it was being the only female, with 3 males. Was there any flirtation? Did you feel out of your depth? Did anything... sexual happen?"
Kassy paused. "Damn, an interview about a space mission and you're asking about my sex life." she shook her head. "Not that it's any of your business, yes to the first 2 of those questions. Yes, Matthew and I flirted as that was the way of our friendship. Yes, I felt out of my depth, but not because I'm a woman. And no, nothing sexual happened on the Kerberos mission."
"Okay, one more question. There's been some Paparazzi photos come out of you lately, and there's some rumours speculating that you're pregnant. Can you confirm this?"
Matt stared at him in disbelief. "That is completely inappropriate, why do you think that's okay to ask?"
"Whether or not I'm pregnant is not relevant to this conversation at all." Kassy said. "I'm not answering that question. Again, if I am, I'll share that news when I'm ready. Not in an interview."
"Okay. Final question, and it goes to each of you." he cleared his throat. "Would you do it again?"
After a moment of thinking, Shiro spoke first. "I would. No matter how traumatic it was, I wouldn't have gone onto becoming part of Voltron without Kerberos, nor would any of the other wonderful things in my life had happened."
"If I could do it without the trauma that would be great." Matt said. Kassy nodded.
"Exactly."
"I wish it hadn't had such a negative impact on our families. Then I'd have done it again."
The interviewer nodded. "Right, well, that's all we time for, folks! See you all tomorrow!"
The cameras stopped rolling, and Kassy immediately sighed and stormed off. Shiro followed.
"He can't ask me that shit." she said. "Prick."
"Come on. Let's just go home." Shiro helped her take her microphone off. Matt and Sam joined them as they went out to the car.
"Shiro?" Matt asked.
"Yes?"
"Can we go to McDonald's?"
"Only if you change my name back to Shiro on the groupchat."
"Hey, I'd be proud to be called Sexy Dilf!"
"You want McDonald's or not?"
Matt sighed. "Okay, fine."
Immediately after getting food, Matt changed his name back to Sexy Dilf.
