"Mom… tell me a story."

Little Rose called out to her mother from her little bed; her mom walked over to her.

"What story would you like to here?"

Rose was 6 years old, a blue fox and the spiting image of her mother… except for 1 thing of white hair in her bangs.

"The one about the two pilots."

Krystal smiled. "That one's your favorite huh?"

"Except the ending."

Krystal's smile faded. "Yea… Well, once upon a time… there was a Planet called…. Ummm… "

"Forestiria?"

"Yes… and there weren't many people on that planet, so no one needed last names."

"Everyone had a different name."

"Yes that's right; there was a princess on that planet named…"

"Carmen."

"Right. She loved that place… she lived with her mom, dad, sister, and little brother, who were also royal. But one day, an evil… horrible person destroyed their planet…. But K-…Carmen survived."

"Why would someone do that mom?"

Krystal patted her hand. "I don't know baby… anyway, she was found by a great pilot named… ummm…. You know his name right?"

"Fillip mommy… don't you remember?"

"I was just quizzing you… Fillip was a great flyer… and so kind. He found Carmen and brought her to his ship, where he lived. He had a team called Star Fillip, and his friends were on the ship to… well Fo—Fillip had saw Carmen fly her ship, and asked her to join the team because he thought she was a wonderful pilot... Carmen said yes. They all became really good friends… but Fillip and Carmen fell in love. Fillip promised they would always be together. But Fillip was scared that she would get hurt, so he made her leave the team, she tried to tell him she didn't want to leave but he wouldn't listen… They never saw each other again."

"I've been thinking about a new ending for this story… You need to fix the ending mommy."

Krystal felt of her golden locket necklace and sighed. "I wish I could dear… goodnight."

"Goodnight mommy."

Krystal kissed her daughter's head and walked out of the room.

"Hey daddy! Catch!" Carmen threw a football to her father across her bedroom.

"I got it!" Fox jumped and caught it, falling onto her bed. "Got it!" Carmen ran over and jumped onto Fox's back and hugged him tight.

"Love you daddy."

"Love you too Carmen."

Carmen rolled of his back and laid on her bed. "Tell me a story daddy."

"Which story?"

"The one about you and my mom."

Fox rolled over and looked at her. "That one's… hard for me to talk about…"

"Please daddy…"

Fox nodded. "Okay. A long time ago, the Star Fox team now was a lot smaller, with fewer people. There were 5 of us, Me, Uncle Falco, Uncle Slippy, Peppy, and Krystal, your mom. Krystal looked just like you… except that piece of hair right there. That was from me."

Carmen played with her hair for a moment and smiled at him.

"One day… Krystal and I, fell in love. And I promised her we'd always be together. But one day there was an attack by Star Wolf, and they almost hurt your mom… I didn't want her to get hurt so I told her to leave so she would be safe. Well, after a while… I needed her so badly; I wrote a letter asking her to come back. And…"

Knock, knock, knock.

"Hey… is anyone home? Uncle Falco's at the door!"

Fox laughed. "I'll be right back. Fox went to answer it.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Chill Falco!" Fox called as he opened the door; Falco walked in.

"Hey Fox." He said giving Fox a high-five. "What's up bro?"

"We're in the middle of a story."

"Ahhhh… which one?"

Fox sighed. "The one about me and Krys."

"Oh… sorry buddy."

"It's okay Falco, come on in and see her."

They walked down the hall and into her room, she smiled at them.

"Hey baby!" Falco called, rushing over to give her a hug.

"Hey Uncle Falco."

Falco picked here up and spun her around for a moment; Carmen giggled as he put her down on the bed and started to tickle her. Falco pulled the covers over her and sat down.

"Guess what, Isabel turned 2 today."

"I love my cousin." Falco laughed.

"Yea… me and Katt wanna bring her over sometime for a… like a daughter to daughter thing."

Carmen smiled. "That's cool… Will you finish my story really quick daddy?"

Falco looked at Fox; Fox just nodded and sat down on the bed.

--

Krystal walked into her bedroom flipped on the light. It's been a long time… She walked over and pulled a small box out from under her bed. She sat on the floor and opened it, pulling out a small letter.

Dear Krystal,

I am SO sorry… I was wrong to send you away… I need you by my side. Please come back to me… and Star Fox. I was wrong and stupid… Please come back… I love you.

Fox McClould

Krystal started to cry. "Oh God I remember that day…"

Krystal was staying with Katt after Fox had made her leave… Katt wouldn't let Fox near her, and Krystal was felling so miserable… and sick.

"KATT! I'M CRAVING AGAIN!"

"Its okay girl… the baby will be worth it."

"Not if his/her daddy isn't around." Krystal sighed.

"Fox doesn't know?"

Krystal shook her head. "He made me leave before I could tell him."

"Well you were 3 and a half months pregnant before you found out right? That was 4 and a half months ago…"

"So I'm like 8 months?"

"Yea." There was a beep at Katt's communicator.

"Probably Fox again."

"Don't answer it if it is... I can't talk to him right now."

"I know, I know… Hey! It's Peppy."

"Oh, let me see."

Peppy's head popped up in a hologram before them. He smiled. "How is everyone?"

"Fine Peppy."

"I have a message from Fox."

"You didn't tell him did you?"

"No… I should have; but no. He wrote a letter to you… he said he's sorry and is begging you to come back to him and Star Fox."

"Really?"

"Haven't you got it yet?"

"We haven't checked the mail… Go get it Katt."

Katt stood and left the room. Fox just doesn't give up does he? He needs to make up his mind.

"Krystal… you need to tell him. It is his child."

Krystal nodded. "You're right Peppy… I…"

BOOM!

Katt's ship rocked, what was that?!" Katt came running back in with the mail.

"STAR WOLF!"

"PEPPY GET FOX ON HERE!"

Peppy disappeared and Katt rushed over to Krystal, she stuck the letter in Krystal's pocket and tried to hold her still.

"HOLD ON KRYSTAL!"

"Katt… Katt you've got to go and get them to leave!"

"What about you?!..."

"PLEASE! MY BABY!"

Katt ran to her arwing and left to try to lead them away. "Please be okay Krystal…."

--

Katt didn't know what was about to happen. She fired at them and got them to chase her, "Come on! Lameos!" They all started to fly after her… away from the ship, Katt was hoping Krystal would be okay. Krystal was thinking back to a couple of days before Fox made her leave… something to keep her mind off worrying about the baby.

"Fox… what's wrong?"

Fox was sitting on his bed, he smiled up at her.

"Nothing's wrong… actually, something is very right!" He jumped up and took Krystal's hand. "You're so beautiful…"

Krystal laughed, "You're so random Fox."

Fox kissed Krystal gently for a moment. "I love you."

"I love you too Fox… what's got you in such a great mood?"

Fox brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it. "It's exactly a year after we first met… when I first fell in love with you. I've been thinking about you all week… I can't get you off my mind."

Fox chuckled. "It feels… nice. Makes me happy."

Krystal hugged him. "That's so sweet…"

Krystal kissed his cheek, and Fox squeezed. "It's not stupid?"

"Of coarse not." Fox pulled back and brushed Krystal's hair back.

The hologram screen was still empty. "Hurry Peppy…" The ship rocked hard and knocked her over… "NO!"

--

Peppy ran down the halls of the Great Fox as fast as he could "FOX…. FOX!!"

Fox came running out of his room and looked at Peppy.

"What's wrong?! What is it?"

Peppy was panting. "S-STAR WOLF…. IS ATTACKING KATT AND KRYSTAL!"

Fox gave him a confused look. "Peppy they can beat them easily…"

"Fox… you… you don't understand!"

"Peppy what is the…"

Peppy put his hands on Fox's shoulders.

"Krystal's pregnant… with your child."

"Fox went white and had to lean against the wall. He remembered that night…

"I'm so lucky…"

He kissed her sweetly… but this time he didn't want to stop, but he had to breathe. So when he did, he pulled back and looked at her, "Krys…"

He pulled her closer to his bed and pulled her down onto it.

"My God… our child… Krystal…"

Fox raced down the hallway, running faster than he ever had before.

"SHE'S ON THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM!"

Peppy called after him, Fox made a hard right and finally made it to the system.

"Krystal! Krystal it's me! Are you okay!"

"Oh God… Fox… Fox… I 'm pregnant…. And… I think… I've been hurt and… OWWWWWWWWW OH GOD OUR BABY'S COMING!"

--

"So I flew over to get her… and we got to the hospital as fast as we could. The doctors took her the emergency room…"

--

"Why didn't you tell me?" Fox asked her.

Krystal was crying. "You made me leave… I… I don't know… OWW!" Krystal was laying on her hospital bed. "Fox I love you… I love you…"

"I love you to Krystal…"

Krystal was sweating hard; she gripped Fox's hand and squeezed it.

"Don't leave me… Fox don't leave me…"

"I'll stay right here… I promise."

--

"The doctor's told me and Krystal that she was having twins… two girls. So she had our babies, and we named you two Carmen… and Rose."

--

"They're beautiful…"

"They are… they'll look just like you."

Krystal giggled. Fox was holding Carmen, and Krystal was holding Rose.

"How long was I asleep after they came?"

"About an hour… Krystal I…"

BEEP BEEP BEEP! ALERT! BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Fox and Krystal jumped up and looked out the door, everyone was running out of there rooms in panic.

"EARTHQUAKE!" Someone screamed.

"Oh God… FOX!"

"STAY CLOSE TO ME KRYSTAL!"

They ran out with the babies and ran with the crowd. They managed to stay together and run down the stairs.

"We're almost out!"

"I'm scared Fox…"

"Don't worry… almost there…"

They finally got out of the building and they looked around, the ground was cracking, people were screaming… it was chaos.

"Let's go this way!"

"This way!"

Fox ran right and Krystal ran left. But when they turned around to find each other again… the ground split between them.

"NOOOO! FOX!"

"KRYSTAL!!"

Fox ran towards her… but the ground shook and Krystal stumbled backwards; out of Fox's site.

"KRYSTAL!" A huge crowd came rushing out of the hospital and pushed him along in panic…

--

"And I never saw… your mommy… or sister… again."
