Chapter 11: Hold Me Tight
(Ok, when this kid is born, it will not die or be killed at any point in the story. I know a LOT of writer that sometimes kill off the child, but not here, so don't worry :) and Keith is best dad/husband to be)
(Time skip: about 9 months)
With the months gone by, Lance become bed redden, unable to move now after nine months already. It seems that the A alien baby made Lance sick as his body tried its hardest to adjust to the changes it was going through.
There was no Galra attacks on the Castle directly, and all attacks on plants, Allura took his place, which Lanc was completely fine with. He was in no shape to do anything at this point.
Caron had told Lance that he'd have to spend time in a hospital, so that the doctors could help the child be born safely. At first, Keith was against Lance being alone, and even though it wasn't his choice, he made sure to message Lance every day.

"Keith, dude. I know your worried, but you need to stop piecing," Hunk smiles sadly at his friend walking back 'n forth the room.
"I can't," Keith says, hugging his sides anxiously," I'm so worried right now, I can't think straight," he says, turning a heel back the other way.
"Keith, I think you need some sleep," Shiro says, placing a hand on Keith shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. "Lance will want you at your best when he sees us. It's been 3 mouths already, I bet he misses us a lot more then we miss him, he's all alone," Shiro says calming with a said smile.
A sigh left Keith as he looks to the ground. "You're right, I'm sorry," he says." I just don't know how to deal with this right now," he says.
"I want to say, I know how you feel. But I can't because I don't," Shiro jokes softly.
Keith glares at him," your really not helping, Shiro," he says flatly.
Coran comes in, his hands clap together— breaking the conversation." Well everyone, time to go," he says cheerfully. Coran and Keith, out of everyone, are the most excited to see Lance.

Lance sat in the bed, playing on a game controller Pidge left him. Young Alien children sat around him, oohing at the game. Not surprising. Lance looks surprised, but joyful when the team walks in. All the children jump off of the bed, running to the heroes.
"Hey guys!" Lance cheers, arms resting on his lap.
"Hey Lance," Hunk said, hugging hi ps friend gently.
Pidge walks up from the other end, hugging him gentle on the other side," how are you feeling, and please tell me my game is alive and well?" She asks in a smirk.
Lance hugs her harder," I swear on my life, that it is fine," he chuckles, "And I'm doing just fine, thank you," he hums.
A breath is taken from Keith. Lance is beautiful, and Lance knew he was staring, giving him a wink. A shaking sigh left his throat as he steps forward," hay Lance," he says softly, waving his hand gently.
"Come here," Lance said eagerly, grading at the red paladin. As Keith steps forward, Lance gently grabs his pale wrist; bringing it to his belly. "Do you feel that?" He asks, and Keith eyes light up with joy. It isn't his child, but it is living— that was beautiful.
"I—I do!" He stutters.
"I wanna feel!" Hunk yells happily.
"Me too!" Pidge said with glow in her eyes. Everyone laughs, even Shiro and Allura got a feel. That was, until Lance froze. "Lance, what's—"
"Get the nurse," he breaths, wide eyes.
No one needed to tell them, they knew already. The baby was coming. It was coming now. The doctors and nurses had kicked the team out, telling them all we be well. Lance had been healthy, and so had the baby. Everything should go to plan.
Team Voltron sat impatiently in the waiting room as Lance when through his operation. It is worrying. The doors slid open, the doctor smiles at them," you my go in," he says calmly.
The team rushes over to Lances room, unlike crying, that would be normal for a baby back on earth, it was laughing.
