#cavity causing fluff

You take a deep breath to calm yourself "Let's go inside."

Aster scoffs "Nebi! You aren't going to let this bastard inside! Are you?"

You gasp "ASTER! Language! And yes! He IS your father!"

Sun drops Moon as he picks him up "Father!?"

You huff "Sunny! Don't drop Moon! I don't even know what's wrong with him yet!"

Nebula points at Moon "Is Daddy ok?"

You rub her back "I'm sure he's fine. He's just really sleepy."

Nebula perks up "Like Princess Aroro?"

You giggle and kiss her cheek "Just like Princess Aurora."

Nebula nods "You should kiss him then."

You sputter as Aster opens the door. Aster glares at Sun as he walks inside. As soon as the door is closed Aster puts himself between you and Sun.

You ruffle Aster's hair "So, what's up with Moon?"

This is the moment Sun really takes you in. You look almost the same. You've grown your hair out a little. You look on the verge of a breakdown. He looks down at Aster in utter shock. Aster looks like the spitting image of himself. Right down to the rays on his head. Albeit a little more humanoid than Sun.

The little girl in your arms looks like Moon. Kids. They... you have kids. Sun doesn't know how to feel. Have you married again? Is another man about to walk out of somewhere in the house?

Sun takes an artificial breath "He has no power. He needs to charge. We don't have the fancy sleeping upgrade."

You nod "Follow me. I have a charging cable in the workshop."

Sun follows you to the workshop/garage. There is a big table and various tools. A cupboard sits on a far wall.

You lead him to the table "Set him down here. Aster can you plug in the other end of this?" You ask as you flip Moon over. You plug the cable in as Aster plugs the other end in "Start talking, please. What the fudge happened?"

Sun sighs "Well when Paula went to... make us go away... they saved our AI chips. Apparently, she was in love with us back at the plex. But we were with you. The thing was the perfect opportunity to take us from you." Sun sighs "It didn't work. They kept us in the basement and tried to force us to love her. Never tried anything... bad. We escaped. You weren't at your old house. We asked around and figured out you moved up north." Sun shifts his weight leaning on the table "We got odd jobs to help us out."

You hold a hand up "How long were you with... her? Them?"

Sun frowns "Both she and them. She spent two years building me and two more on Moon. We spent two years with her fully activated. One of those was spent in the basement. Then we spent two years looking for you!"

Nebula yawns loudly, and you rub her back "Bedtime for you little one."

She whines softly "But daddy."

You kiss her forehead "He'll be here when you wake up."

She grumbles sleepily "Then can papa put me to bed?"

You hum "How about both your Papa and I put you to bed?"

She nods "Please."

You look up at Sun "Well? Care to help put your daughter to bed?"

Sun takes a step forward "Are you married?"

You tilt your head "Well yeah-"

Sun cuts you off "Do they treat you good?"

You nod "Yes! You and Moon were always good to me!"

Sun wipes a tear away "Moon and I? You never remarried?"

You shake your head "No. Never did. Let's put these two up and we can talk more."

Aster crosses his arms "But Nebi! I'm a big boy! I can stay up late."

You smile "Not tonight. I promise you can stay up late tomorrow. I'll even make those pancakes you like in the morning."

Aster squints "With extra bacon?"

You nod "Extra bacon. It's a must."

Aster nods "Ok. Deal."

Aster runs off to get ready for bed. You carry Nebula upstairs to bed.

Sun follows behind you while looking around your house "You have a lot of pictures of us."

You nod "I wanted the kids to know who you and Moon are."

You walk down the left hall. Two doors down is Nebula's room. It's space themed with a cardboard rocketship in one corner. You lay her down on the bed and pull up the covers tucking her in.

"She wants to be an astronaut." You whisper "It's so she can study the stars better." You kiss her cheek.

Sun walks over and looks at her. He slowly runs a hand through her hair "She's beautiful."

You nod "Just like her father."

Sun tears up "I'm sorry. We should have been here for you."

You wrap your arms around him "It's ok. You are here now. It won't be easy."

Sun sniffles "I won't leave."

You nod and pull Sun to Aster's room. It's medieval-themed. Dragons painted on the wall. A knight plushy on the bed. Toy swords, shields, and other similar items are scattered about. Aster is sitting in bed holding a book in his arms.

He shoots a look at Sun "IS that really my papa?"

You nod "I am absolutely positive."

Aster squints at you "Prove it."

You tilt your head. How the hell are you supposed to do that? It's not like you can do a DNA test.

Sun moves closer to the bed and spins the rays around his head. A broad smile on his face.

Aster stares at him and spins his own rays "Papa? PAPA!" He jumps off the bed and into Sun's arms, snotty tears falling "I thought you were dead! Nebi said you were! Did you not love us?"

Sun chokes up "No! That's not it at all! A big mean dragon took us away. We saved ourselves and came to find you! I promise we won't go away again."

Aster wails loudly curling into Sun's lap further. Sun holds him tightly crying loudly. You also start to cry unable to control your emotions anymore. Aster cries himself to sleep in Sun's arms.

You collect yourself as best as you can "Time to put him to bed."

Reluctantly Sun puts aster in bed and tucks him in. The two of you head back to Moon. He's still not awake yet.

You pull a stool up to the table "What upgrades do you have?"

Sun sits down on the table "Well, as you can see our faces are friendlier than before. We can eat. We don't have the sleeping upgrade yet."

You rest your elbows on the table "I can give you that one."

Sun smiles and pets your hair "We can cry now too. We have toes! And a better ass with an asshole."

You chuckle "Oh yea?"

Sun nods "Balls too. Big ones."

You faux gasp "Mr. Sun! Are you trying to entice me to sleep with you?"

Sun laughs "At this point, I'd be happy just to sleep in the same house as you."

You wiggle a finger at him "You'll do more than that mister! I expect you to share my bed with me."

Sun puts a hand on your cheek "Only if you're ready for that. We don't want to push you."
