Everything was normal in the monastery. Ever since Jay came back and regained his memories back, and of course his husband, Cole was really happy seeing his half is back. So they remarried again for the second time. That's also the time where Geo kinda fell for Jay seeing him on the altar, being pretty and soft. And maybe because of his colorful personality.
After both Cole and Jay married, Geo told Cole that he also wants to be with Jay. The earth master happily helped him to make both of his lovers be together. “Of course I want both of my husbands to get along and them being together!!” He said that cheerfully when some people asked about it.
True he didn't mind it as he would love to have the three of them as a throuple. So after he let both Geo and Jay have their relationship blooming, Cole was definitely happy and watching from the side with a loving gaze on them.
“So I was wondering…. If you want to go out with me?” Geo asked Jay when the two were cleaning some stuff as the master of lightning stopped at his game. His mouth agape, face flushing when Geo asked him that. Geo didn't have the courage to see Jay in the eyes, but when he did Jay was ecstatic as he jumped from his seat and tackled Geo to the ground with a lot of happiness. “Absolutely yes!! I would go out with you!!”
Jay exclaimed, which Geo hugged him back from the hug. Cole, seeing from the side, could only cheer in quiet, seeing his lovers getting together. And the next thing he knew, both Jay and Geo were getting married. So now the three of them are happily throuple married couples, also when it's their honeymoon week, the three decide to entrust their children in their friends' company.
Moreover, they have a lot of kids (Bonzle, Fritz, Spitz, Frak, Jordana) and most of them were staying with Zane and Pixal and also Mr. Frohicky. They didn’t want to overwhelm either Kai, Nya or Lloyd in the slightest.
While the three of them are on their honeymoon, the kids keep asking why their dad's going away just the three of them while the kids are left alone (it was Fritz and Spitz asking that). While the teenagers, Frak, Jordana and Bonzle were all speechless about what to answer their younger siblings.
“You answer them” - Jordana
“Nuh uh, you are!” - Frak
“Don't look at me. I don't know either” - Bonzle
The three of them kept arguing as the children looked at them clueless. Zane was about to answer that but his mouth was being shut by Pixal. Their answers are too forward that would make either Jay or Geo scold him later. The kids then look at Mr. Frohicky who was busy sweeping the floorboard.
“Uh… yes?” He looked up to them as the two children asked him questions instead. Thankfully enough he answered with a less suggestive but more playful and imaginary tone. “Well usually they have fun. Y'know like went on vacation for three and having adventures like exploring places” he said which thankfully the other sighs in relief.
“That sounds…. Boring” Spitz says as Fritz agrees with them, “yeah it's sooo boring!!” The two kids then went back to play with their toys as Bonzle thanked Frohicky for the saving.
“Thanks Mr. Frohicky, we wouldn't be able survive if they kept pestering us with that question”
He chuckles as he goes back to sweeping, “that's no problem. I used to babysat some kids back when I was young and they always asked that question” he simply answered with a cheerful tone.

A week later three of their dads came back from their “vacation”, the kids especially Fritz and Spitz asking if they had found something cool or something and of course a lot of questions from them. Cole was surrounded and caught off guard by the two, while Geo was handling some souvenirs for the kids and gave them all a headpats. “Did you all do good when we left?” He asked to make sure his children as most of them nodded and smiled.
Meanwhile with Jay, he was looking more exhausted than before they went to their own honeymoon. Jordana notices it and went to Jay asking if he was alright, “Papa, are you okay? You seem more tired than usual…” she said as the other children noticed how visible he was tired. Jay only let out a small chuckle, waving his hand in dismissive, “I'm alright! Maybe from the trip that's all. It's been a long week when we left anyway” he made sure to the kids as he didn't want to make them all worried for him.
Well he just smiled around to the kids but he definitely gave a sharp glare to both of his husbands. Somehow from his stares it looks like it was indeed both Cole and Geo doing when they were away. That made both of them sweat coldly and gave him a sheepish smile.

A few months had passed from their honeymoon, everything went back as usual. Except maybe a few things did change with Jay in some ways. More over about his eating habit, 2 times more than usual, getting fussy here and there, often easily annoyed at both Geo and Cole, not to mention his morning sickness. Well, him, Geo and Cole only thought maybe it was his emotion being moody again like usual or maybe he’s just really hungry. So they ignored it after a week or so.
But for the other? They think he was different for a reason. Most of them think about it and well it was really visible to them all, but not to the other three. “you think Jay was being… different?” Jordana asked both Bonzle and Frak while observing the lightning master as he takes more food than usual with both of his husbands letting him eat more. “As in…. him getting more fat? Cause if it was, yeah his belly was getting big a little” Frak said still focusing on his game while both Fritz and Spitz looming over him.
“Is that even possible?” Bonzle asked back, confused since she never noticed it before. The more they thought of it, the idea was plausible in some logic. Or maybe they were just imagining something again.
With a big sigh, Frak calming down everyone and let awkwardly laugh, “Maybe it’s just our mind manipulate our brains” he tried to reassure the other two, maybe their dads want to tell them a surprise or something in the future in about a few months.
But the more they observe three of their dads, the more they are still thinking about it. Cole still didn’t tell anyone anything about what happened in their honeymoon, Geo kept doing his stuff in normal like nothing changed or felt any different. As for Jay? He still didn’t notice his stomach were changing even more and getting more nauseous or even more tired than usual. He thinks maybe it's his usual small sickness that he often has. So he copes with more eating and also more inventing stuff until he is tired or even getting moody for about two weeks straight.
“Yo, Cole, you better tell your husband not to be moody or soured up the mood every time we play Zombie Slayer 1001. He’s really getting on my nerves” Kai called to Cole as Jay would blow raspberries at him, as usual being brat and even clingy to Cole after. “It’s like he’s doing it on purpose and even moody like a pregnant woman” he sneered at Jay. Even if his voice wasn’t that sound cruel to anyone, Jay suddenly began tearing up because of that.
“Kai!!”
“Whoah hey, i didn’t mean to say it like im making fun of him or anything!!” the fire master immediately raised his hands defensively, he didn’t know his own words could sound rude. That's one of the examples that made the other suspect about what happened with Jay, Cole and Geo.

The second time everyone suspected was when the group had a daily video chat night, usually with their other allies/friends, basically doing anything or discussing anything that happened so far in Ninjago realm (or any realm where they are now). So as usual one of them would be hosting for the video call, for the night it was Nya who’s hosting the call. Funny enough most of the ninjas lived in the same monastery, but then again they would have been setting it up in their own room.
“Finally! After a long year awaited!! It’s soo good to see you guys again!” Vania exclaimed with excitement after seeing the others for how long they are.
“Nice to see you too, your highness” Cole teased her as the two laughed over it, later the others would join them in the video call. (What i mean by the other, as in the ninjas, Pixal, Skylor, Vania, Benthomaar, and also Scott)
While they talked about stuff, mostly with how a lot of things have happened ever since the merge and maybe telling them about some trouble happening as usual, somehow they all noticed that Jay was being sluggish and very much easily overwhelmed by stuff that he would disassociate into blank. The only one who didn’t notice of course it was Cole and Jay himself. Cole thinks Jay was exhausted because of training today.
All of them also kinda notices that there’s a bump forming on Jay’s belly. As opposed they thought he was pregnant or something. Well no one dares to come up with the topic of it, the last time that happened it was gonna be very chaotic. “SOO…. Jay, and Cole. How does married life change you two– I mean three, how’s with Geo??” Skylor asked while Jay piped up while snuggling to Cole as he ate some of his cake. “he’s lovely and caring too…” he mumbled while still munching on Cole’s food, “Jay, stop eating my food” Cole grumbles as he takes away his half eaten cake from Jay.
“Seems like someone has a craving…” Scott said while pretending to look at his ceiling, “Scott!!” the other scolds him while has his hands in a mocking surrender.
“You guys noticed it too! There’s a bigger elephant in the room that needs to be addressed!” he said defensively as that only made both Cole and Jay looking at them confusedly. “I'm not changing? Besides, my stomach only feels funny for a while. Other than that its fine” Jay said equally defensively. Well no one wanna risk any more questions so they let it slide, but their instinct saying Jay was pregnant was still possible at the moment.

A few months has passed and well Jay’s stomach is getting more visible. And the kids were still curious and suspecting. Well that final reveal happened when one day they were on training and jay clutching his stomach. Both Geo and Cole went after him as they make Jay rest, but he was still persistent on continuing on training and even throwing a small tantrum.
“Jay, you can’t be serious about this! You’re sick right now!” Cole yelled a little at him, which only made Jay throw a more tantrum. With Geo however, he was approaching Jay more gently and assuring him that he will stay with him instead. “I’ll stay with you until you get better, let me get some food for you. and maybe some heating pad” he said about walking from the courtyard, until Frak felt an extra vibration.
“Wait a second… Jay, why is there another heart beating in your stomach?” he asked, which made three of his dads looking confused. “a… heartbeat?” Cole was speechless as he saw Frak’s hand was put on top of Jay’s stomach. “Yeah, see? there’s a heartbeat inside him. it feels like… something was alive inside of him” he explained to them.
Geo and Cole then rushed to Jay as they crouched down and gently touched Jay’s stomach. Frak was right about that, there’s something beating in there. “I guess that explains the moodiness, the cravings and also the bump that happens, you’re pregnant” Jordana said as she was mesmerized by it.
“So… there’s a baby inside of me right now?” He sounds surprised when both Cole and Geo immediately hug him, with their tears flowing. “A mini of us, Jay! you’re going to be a mom!” Geo kissed him sweetly as Cole followed after.
“Wait, so none of you know this?” Bonzle asks them, as the three just shake their heads in unison. “Huh. I guess that’s why I stopped having cramps last month. OH…” Jay was speechless as the other just nodded off. “and you guys knew?” Cole asked the rest with pretty much another nod were give by them.
“Kinda noticed it a long time ago tho. Congrats for noticing—- ow!” Kai winced as Nya elbowed him in the ribs as she smiled brightly. “Then it settles!! I’m going to be their aunt and the first and only one!” she said excitedly as the others like Kai and Lloyd bickering with here.
Looks like they will have more lovely additions in the future soon enough! Oh how wonderful it is!
