"Twins"
Krolia peered at the large basket placed near her feet. In it were her two kits, curled around each other, sleeping. It was hard to believe they were twins, when they looked completely different. The girl looked like her, and the boy looked like her late mate. She allowed a tear to fall in remembrance of the twin's father, who died, prompting her departure. She had to leave Earth and go back to headquarters with her two kits.
She did have good standing in the Blades, so she hoped that would help her return. She was nervous the closer she got to the base. A whimper came from the basket. She leaned down and lightly dragged her claws down both of her kits' cheeks and purred to them. Keith nuzzled his head against his sister's chest. Krolia leaned down even further and licked each of her kits' cheeks, effectively soothing them.
The console beeping drew her attention. She had set the computer to search for the Blade of Marmora emergency channel, and it located it. She opened the channel and said, "This is Violet Blade asking for entrance."
Static filled the channel before she heard a reply. "Violet Blade, this is Lavender Blade. Entrance permitted."
Krolia's heart leaped in joy. She recognized the code name of the Blade that had answered her, Ulaz. She quickly piloted her ship between the black holes and the blue star. She landed her ship in the hangar and powered it down. She located a small hover board and loaded the basket on it. She slowly pushed her kits down the ramp. She noticed a couple of Blades waiting to greet her looking confused at the basket.
"Thace! Ulaz! I'm so happy to see you!" Krolia hugged the two Galra who she considered brothers.
Thace nuzzled his sister's neck and breathed in her scent. "Krolia, we missed you so much!"
Ulaz was on her other side, licking her cheek stripe. "Krolia, I couldn't believe you are finally back."
"I'm not alone. I want you two to meet your niece and nephew, Acxa and Keith."
The two Blades approached the basket and peered in. There were two kits that made Thace ask, "Are they yours, Krolia?"
"Yes. These are my kits."
"Kits?" a voice spoke up from the doorway.
All three Blades looked up and saw Kolivan and Antok. Thace, Ulaz, and Krolia bowed to their leaders. When they came closer, the formality melted away, and the pack mates scented each other. Krolia brought her pack over to the basket. She lifted Acxa up and placed her into Kolivan's arms. "This is Acxa." She picked up Keith and put him into Thace's arms. "This is Keith." The four male Blades looked at the two kits who were waking up. The kits had one thing in common, their eye color. They both had their mother's purple irises.
Kolivan looked at the little kit in his arms. She looked very similar to Krolia, but her fur was a slightly different shade, closer to blue. He bent down and gave the little girl a sniff. She smelled like Krolia, which was wonderful.
Thace looked at Keith. He looked one hundred percent different from every single Blade member. Keith looked at Thace, who bent his head down and nuzzled the tiny kit. Keith gave a smile and attempted to nuzzle Thace back.
Kolivan approached Thace and was surprised when Thace put Keith into Kolivan's other arm. The leader looked at the two kits. "Welcome to your new home, Acxa and Keith."
