Chapter Text
Meta Knight,Jecra, and Garlude have been fighting another one of those eldritch horrors for quite a while.
After they defeated it, it split open in a VERY gruesome way. Inside it was a baby boy.
They were all shocked, mortified even. They stood there for a solid eight minutes before Meta knight finally went to go check on the baby.
The baby didn't look like any other Nova-born baby. He looked quite like a Jecra's species, but also somewhat looked like Meta Knight.
Meta Knight scooped the baby up into his arms as Garlude and Jecra made their way over.
"Uhh... Bright Eyes... Why does he have a tail.... Didn't you say Nova borns don't have those?" After Jecra said that. Meta Knight looked to him, looking concerned for the baby.
Meta had been holding that kid for about five minutes and seemed already attached. Jecra was more concerned about the fact that Meta Knight wasn't acting the way he usually does around kids.
After they got back home. Meta Knight fell onto the couch, exhausted, still holding the baby. Jecra sits next to him, also quite exhausted before looking over at the baby. Who Meta Knight put a diaper on and fed not too long ago.
The Baby boy had an uncanny resemblance to Jecra and Meta Knight, which is something Jecra took note of. "So... Uh... What are we gonna do with the kid?" Jecra said before looking up at Meta Knight. Meta Knight took a few minutes before replying "what do you mean?"
"Yknow what I mean, are we gonna put him up for adopt-" before he could finish, Meta Knight cut him off with a loud "NO"
"Do you know what some do with Nova-born babies once they get their hands on them? Trust me Jecra, it isn't a good idea."
"What are we supposed to do then!?" Jecra replied, sounding quite loud. "We're gonna have to keep him for a while. At least until he's old enough to fend for himself."
"RAISE THE KID!? Meta are you crazy!? We don't got time for that shit!"
Before he could say anything else, the baby started sobbing. "You woke him up!"
Meta shouted before coddling and soothing the boy. Jecra realised he really had no choice but to help him raise the baby. Meta Knight was already very attached to the baby and convincing Meta to do anything is a pain in the ass.
Jecra sighed before going back to watching TV on the couch while Meta Knight soothed the baby back to sleep
