Prolgue chapter 2: "we can't tell them yet!"
LLOYDS POV:
Their baby nindroid, snug in his stroller, appeared to be cuddling a certain robot kitten in his arms, the poor thing struggling to get out of his grasp. "Zixal, be more gentle your going to choke her." Pixal warned, loosening the boys grasp. "Sowwy fuffy." He apologized, setting the cat on the ground.
The female nindroid looked our way, and squinted. "Lloyd? Rumi? Is that you?" I waved "hey." I stood up, and extended my hand to Harumi. She hesitated,and then latched her hand in mine.
I trot down to the sidewalk, Harumi huddled close behind me. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Pixal sighed "I wasn't feeling the best, so Zane suggested we go out for some fresh air."
I looked down at the mechanical feline brushing against my leg. " zixy begged to bring fluffly along too." She shook her head, " he loves that cat"
"didn't expect to see you two here," she glanced towards harumi. The former jade princess ducked behind me. "It's ok Rumi, we're cool," I nodded "don't worry Rumi, trust me they don't bite.." we both glanced down to the cat that was now nibbling at my shoe.
"Ok maybe she bites, but the rest of them totally fine." She hesitantly came into view. "H-hi pixal, zane" She stuttered.
"It's been a while" pixal stated " so, how living with jays parents been like" harumi sighed with relief " pretty good, they're so sweet and caring, it's nice." She blushed slightly.
Zixal suddenly giggled causing us to look in him direction. "Oh this is our son, Zixal." She turned to harumi, "wanna see him" harumi look shocked, by the fact that they, the ninjas she at one point tried to destroy, were allowing her to be anywhere near their offspring.
She blushed "sure" she went to zixal's stroller and knelt down to his level. "Hey there little guy" she cooed. He giggled "hawumi!" And reached for her
Rumi looked to the boys parents, pixal smiled and nodded. " I just met him and he already knows my name" she chuckled as she lifted the small robot into her arms. " yeah, he picks things really quickly, it's a nindroid thing.."
Zixal cuddled into rumi's chest, causing her to blush slightly, "he's beautiful, she caressed to boys cheek "he has your eyes Zane.." Zane blushed "thanks".
Pixal smiled warmly at the girl currently cradling her child. She turned to me "so, you two having a nice date" We both froze and turned a crimson red.
She snickered " hehe, it's ok. But You two seemed to be enjoying yourselves before we interrupted you, sorry" she blushed. "Nah, it's ok"
I assure her "we where probably going to leave soon anyway, right Rumi?"
But harumi was to focused on the baby nindroid, who was playing with her long hair.
"Huh-what?" I laughed " nothing"
"So" I changed the subject " since we're all here, wanna go get something to eat?" "Well, we already ate, but zixal didn't really eat his pancake, so why not!"
Rumi suddenly remembered she was still holding zixal "oh, um.. here's your baby back.." pixal chuckled and shook her head, "it's ok, you can hold him. He likes you anyway" I giggled. "I heard there was a breakfast place downtown, we could go there if you like, my treat." "sure" the two say in sync. Zane picked up the lazy feline and placed her in Zixal's stroller.
Then the 5 of us went to get some food.
HARUMI'S POV:
I can't believe how nice the two nindroids are being to me, after everything that's happened. I understand why Lloyd is, he's always kinda seen the good in me. I understand that the ninja haven't looked me the same after the whole.... "resurrecting garmodon" thing. Lloyd tells me that the two robots are the only ones who " believe" me when I say I changed, but I know it's gonna take a lot more to convince the others.
Lloyd, me and the family of nindroids when to a nice breakfast place, and we just talked about how our lives are going and stuff like that. It was kinda nice to get to bound with someone other than Lloyd for once. "So you built Zixal? He looks so much like the both of you." I chirped, still cradling the young robot boy in my arms. Pixal smiled " well, funny story, Zixal was actually-" she was cut of when something on Lloyd's wrist bleeped.
He clicked a button and held it to his ear, "hello-....yes?,........ok right away" "they need me and Zane immediately, we've got a mission!" He quipped. He then frowned, and turned to me "oh, Rumi I-" "it's fine" I cut him off. "Im ok, I'll just go back to jays junkyard." I tried to hide the sadness in my voice.
"Hey wait" pixal chimed in "why don't you just, come back with us?" I look at her shocked. "Really? But what about the others?" "Well they have to go on their mission, so they won't be home. But I have to stay with zixal here and I wouldn't mind some company" she smiled. I blushed " aww, what did I do to deserve you guys" Zane sighed " nothing really.."
(Let's just pretend that the dragon from the first realm stayed with the ninja)
Zane, pixal and baby Zixe hopped onto Zane's Ice dragon, and Lloyd got on his. "Well, hop on." He extended his hand, I agree and he pulled me up onto his dragon. I snaked my arms around his torso and we flew to their headquarters.
~Back at the bounty~
PIXAL'S POV:
Zane's dragon along with Lloyd's, hovered over the bounty for us to get on. "See you in a little while my friend." Zane cooed and stroked the ice dragon's snout. We and Lloyd head to the others, Rumi huddled close behind Lloyd. I never knew how timid she could be.
as soon as we entered the room, kai turned to us and shouted "there you are! Where have you be- ...what is she doing here?" He glanced at harumi, she ducked behind Lloyd. "Don't worry kai!" Zane quipped. "She's with us. She no harm to our mission." Kai rolled his eyes. "Come on we have to go!"
Zane and the other ninjas got on their dragons. "See you when you get back." I give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Me want kiss too!" Zixal quipped as he squirmed in my arms. Zane laughed and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
I looked over at harumi and Lloyd hugging, then I realized nya wasn't here.
"hey jay? Is Nya still not feeling good?" He shook his head. "No, she's still resting in her room, sensei said she could stay and get better."
He looked at me with a worried expression "could you maybe check on her, at least to make sure she's ok" I nodded " of course, I'm just as worried as you are."
He smiled " thanks pix" they took to the sky's and we're on their way.
Zixal yawned "I think it's time for someone's nap." He shook his head. "Zixal not..*yawn* sleep-y." I chuckled and carried him to his room. By the time I got there he was already fast asleep. I tuck him in and quietly leave his room.
Of course, remembering jays request, I headed to nyas room. I knocked on the door, just in case she was asleep so didn't wake her up, she didn't answer.
I peeked in to see that her bed was empty.
Her cover were on the floor as if she had gotten up rather in a hurry. "Nya?" I suddenly here coughing coming from her bathroom.
"Oh no." I quickly ran to the bathroom and opened the door. and as I suspected, there was Nya, leaning over the toilet.
I rushed to her side. " Nya! How long have you been in here?" She slowly looked up at me. " since jay left my room this morning.." she said weakly.
"That was a few hours ago!" She could hear the worry in my voice.
"I know, I don't know what's wrong with me." I gently rubbed her back, " maybe we should take you to a doctor." She nodded and I helped her up.
"Rumi! Could you keep an eye on zixal?me and Nya are going out!" I shout as we left on nyas dragon which of course I was driving, "Kay!" I heard her answer. Nya wrapped her arms around my waist and off we flew to ninjago city.
NYA'S POV:
I was nervous, I've never felt like this before, what if something is REALLY wrong with me!? Jay will freak out either way, but still..I'm not sure why I was so worried, but like a million things were running through my head.
Pixal sat with me in the waiting room, rubbing my back. " don't fret Nya, it's probably nothing bad, just a bug or something." "Nya?" A doctor entered the room. "Here" we both got up and followed the doctor.
"Ok, so what seems to be the problem?" She asked kindly.
"She has been throwing up a lot lately, and has become rather weak." Pixal answered for me. The doctor scratch her chin, "I think I know what's wrong, but we're gonna need to take a blood test to be sure" "BLOOD TEST!?" You probably don't know this, but I'm extremely afraid of needles.
Pixal wrapped an arm around my shoulder, "don't be scared, just don't look at the needle and you'll be fine." I nodded.
(Not gonna say much here because I don't like needles either😅)
During the blood test I squeezed Pixals hand the entire time, I was using so much strength that she looked to be in more pain then I was. "Done" the doctor started to bandage my arm. Thank god I thought to myself.
She left and said she'll be back soon with the results. I fiddled with my fingers and bit my lip. "Nya, it going to be fine." After what felt like forever she finally cane back, "ok do you want the bad news, or the good new?" "Bad news! Good news!" We say at the same time.
"Well the bad news is really just the bad part of the good news.." pixal and I give each other a puzzled glance. "You see mrs. walker, your not sick. You just experiencing the symptoms of The early stages of..pregnancy." The last word seemed to play in slow motion.
Both our Jaws dropped. "What!?" Pixal chirped, I was still processing what she said. "Yes, your about 12 weeks along, congratulations!" I was still speechless.
"Thank you ma'am" pixal helped me up. " I think she still needs to process what just happened." The doctor giggled. " ok, see you for your next appointment mrs. Julian" wait? What appointment?
Pixal walked beside me, I still hadn't spoke a word. "So...you and jay ACTUALLY did it." She giggled slightly.
Then frowned."Um....you ok Nya?" I only heard one thing in my mind, "I'm gonna be a mom".
I felt my eyes well up with tears. "Oh pix!" I finally spoke. "I'm gonna be a mom!" I was laughing and crying at this point. "I can't process this!" She pulled me into a hug. "Hey, it's ok! Is this a good thing or a bad thing?!"
I pulled away "a good thing of course! We've wanted kids for awhile now, I just never knew when we would-"
She patted my back " ok calm down!"
I took a few breaths, tears still running down my face. "I can believe I've been pregnant for 12 weeks and didn't notice." I wiped my tears.
"Hey that's alright, me and Zane didn't find out about zixal till I was like 20 weeks along" she giggled. I sat down. " that's different, you didn't know you could have kids in the first place."
She laughed. "Well, now that we know what was wrong with you, should we tell the others?"
"What?!" I gasped "no we can't tell the others yet! Especially not jay!" The nindroid looked at me puzzled " why not? Jay would be so happy, and so would the others." I sighed " I know, but jay if freaked out about me being "sick" how do you think he'll react to me being pregnant?! His probably fall of his dragon! What if there flying over water?!"
She smiled "ok then we'll tell them when they get back.."
I sighed " you promise not to tell before then?" She gave a guilty look, "well I promise not to tell Jay...." "what do you mean?" She blushed "Well, me and Zane share a mind, so he probably heard everything we just said.." she saw my worried expression. "Don't worry! I'll tell him not to tell the others yet!"
Her eyes turned blue and she went into a trans. About two seconds later she came back. "Ok, we should be fine" I sighed. "Thanks pix"
She helped me up and we headed to my dragon. Pixal got on and pulled me up next to her. "Ya ready?" I nodded as the dragon began to take off.
I suddenly remembered what the doctor said to pixal before we left "oh pixal, what was that appointment the doctor mentioned?" The nindroid blushed "well...me and Zane had just found out something,..surprising as well.."
