Prince Raymond was in room thinking that he finally had evidence that Captain Keith and Princess Allura were lovers and that he was the father of the twins. All he had to do now was interrogate him and get him to blurt it out. Catch him when he’s vulnerable. It will be a great morning, indeed. He would get Princess Allura to marry him, and have an abortion. With a satisfies smirk on his face, he left his room to join the others.

Keith was in his study getting dresses. He tried to sneak back into his own room to see if Allura and the twins were all right, just for the sake of his own peace of mind. Unfortunately, Coran had her heavily guarded and not even Keith was allowed access to the room. As Keith was buttoning his last button, he got a strange feeling that he was forgetting something. But he couldn’t figure out what it was. He shrugged to himself, and left the room to go to breakfast.

The castle was still brewing over the recent battle. People were gathering at the castle demanding to speak to Princess Allura. They were claiming that she was too occupied with her party to make sure the planet was protected.

Coran turned to Nanny,“ Go wake up the Princess so she can talk to her people and calm their fears. I’ll go see if the damage reports are ready.”

In Keith's room, Princess Allura was resting quite nicely in a peaceful sleep. During the night, she had slipped out of her nightgown and put on one of Keith’s shirts to sleep in. She wanted to feel close to him. Nanny did not just walk into the room, she barged in, went over to Allura and gently shook her to try to wake her up.

“Mmm. Not ready to get up yet, sweetheart,” Allura mumbled, thinking it was Keith coming to hold her while she slept.

Nanny’s anger was mounting. If shaking her couldn’t wake her, there was only on thing left to do. She went into the bathroom and ran cold water over a face cloth. She walked back to the bed and placed the cloth over Allura’s face, then quickly moved away. Allura woke up yelling a few choice words. She glared at Nanny.

“Why are you wearing one of Captain Keith’s Galaxy Alliance t-shirts?” Nanny asked. “Do you think he would appreciate you going through his things and wearing his clothes?”

Allura smiled to herself. ‘Knowing Keith the way I do, he would think I looked sexy and would want to do things to me that would make Nanny pass out,’ she thought.

“I don’t think he’d mind, really,” she replied.

Allura noticed that Nanny brought some saltine crackers with her. She gratefully took them and nibbled on them as she decided whether or not to take a shower.

“Princess, there are people in front of the castle demanding to speak to you,” Nanny said.

‘Just great!’ Allura thought, rolling her eyes. ‘I’m very sore and my sex drive seems to have increased all of a sudden. The last thing I want to do is talk to the people!’

In the sunroom, Keith saw that his brothers, Peter and Brad, and his sisters, Tiffany and Heather, were gathered around telling Romelle and Farla what he used to do when he was a kid. Keith, Brad, Peter, and Tiffany were actually quadruplets, with Keith and Peter looking almost identical. Keith was the youngest of the four while Heather was two years younger than them all.

“Well, here’s Mr. Grumpy now,” Lance grinned. “Did we not get enough sleep last night?”

“I second that emotion,” Peter said, teasing his little brother.

“That is not funny, bro,” Keith replied. “And Lance, if you don’t want to run laps today you’d better can it!”

In Keith’s room, Allura was having her morning chat with her children. She was explaining to them why their daddy wasn’t with her this morning. She eyed the dress that Nanny brought her to wear. At least it fit and had some room to move around in. After putting it on, she looked at herself in the mirror. Satisfied with her appearance, she left the room.

“We’re just teasing, Keith,” Brad said. “How are Allura and the twins? Are they all right?”

“Yeah, they’re all right,” Keith replied. “At least, that’s what Dr. Carter said. I had to use some of my charm to see the doctor’s report for myself. When Dr. Gorma comes back from vacation, I’ll have him look at Allura and the twins just to make sure.”

He sat down on the couch and looked at his friends and siblings.

“I’ve never been so scared in my life. It was my family I was protecting and I almost lost them.”

“Cheer up, bro,” Tiffany smiled. “Your family is safe and sound now. You just realized that you’re human and you just got caught with your pants down is all.”Peter threw a pillow at Keith's face which started a pillow fight. Well, more like a pillow war. It was enough to take Keith’s mind off of his problems for a little while. It ended up with Keith holding Peter in a headlock.

“Hey now, little brother. Watch it there,” Peter scolded.

“You’re only a few minutes older,” Keith replied, looking down at his twin. “And I’m not really hurting you. Just a bit of sibling rivalry.”

Brad had a devious look on his face and grabbed Peter buy the leg. Just when the triple brothers started getting into the play wrestling, their sisters decide to join and tickle them.

Just then, Prince Raymond walked into the room. It was torn apart because of the pillow fight. Keith was really acting his age for once and having fun.

‘Isn’t this just cozy?’ the prince thought. ‘Captain Keith Armstrong is acting like a fool this morning, just hours after his beloved Princess and babies were attacked.’

Several more people walked into the room.

“My, my, Captain,” the prince scolded. “I was wondering exactly what you were doing when Lotor attacked.”

The pile on the floor jump at the sound of his voice. Keith immediately stood up and faced the prince. Raymond knew the entire room was looking at him.

“Maybe,” he continued, “if you kept your dick in your pants you would have been more alert when Lotor attacked. Other than having yourself planting deep inside Allura, you could save the planet from being destroyed.”

Keith walked up to the prince until they were nose to nose. Under his breath, he said, “You’d better keep to yourself today. Or I just might knock your teeth out. Don’t worry about Allura or the twins. My first cause is to make sure her and them are all right.”

“You should! You’re the one who knocked her up with those twins, Captain,” Raymond hissed back. “But you don’t care about your children’s safety at all Haven’t you thought that having sex may be harmful to them and may cause Allura to lose the twins?”

“Shut up, your highness. This is your last warning.”

Prince Raymond began to circle around Keith, speaking loud enough for all to hear and marking off his points with his fingers.

“Let’s see now. She couldn’t have fought all those guards by herself. How did you get there so fast? And how come you only had your boxer shorts on while everyone else was fully clothed? Was Lotor’s statement true? Were you using Allura as your love slave? If so, you are a worthless royal guard and have disgraced this royal house!” He had come to stand in front of Keith again at this last statement.

“I’m warning you, again Prince. Mind your own business and stay out of this. Don’t worry about the Princess and her unborn twins. I will be there to protect them and keep them safe and sound.”

“I wonder why that is, Captain. Is it because they are your children?”

“That’s enough! Leave the man alone!” Coran yelled. He was one of the group who followed Raymond into the room.

Prince Raymond didn’t take Coran’s advise. He continued on with his statements.

“So what you’re saying, Keith, is Lotor’s statement is true: you have been sleeping with the Princess.”

Keith thought to himself, ‘If this guy doesn’t shut up, I’ll shut him up myself.’

The prince made the mistake of getting into Keith’s face and pointing his finger into his chest. Admiral Lawler saw this mistake and tried to stop the fight that was about to happen. That’s when all hell broke loose.

Raymond pushed his finger into Keith’s chest to emphasize the points in his next statement.

“I am going to marry Allura and make her get an abortion to destroy those kids!”

Keith saw red.

He tackled the prince to the ground and started beating the hell out of him. No one threatened his kids and his woman! No one! Keith pulled his fist back again and pulled Raymond up to his face with his other hand.

“No one threatens my woman or my kids without answering to me,” he hissed at him.

Prince Raymond spun around and threw Keith over his head, but Keith landed on his feet. The Prince wiped blood from his mouth.

“I was right. You are the father of Allura’s children.”

Keith laughed. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m not the father.”

The prince got a couple of hits into Keith’s face.

“Is that the best you’ve got, boy?” Keith chided.

Admiral Lawler was trying to break up the fight. He kicked Prince Raymond in the chest to push him back. That gave Keith the chance to grab the prince into a crossface chicken wing and Keith would not let go. He had snapped with the threat that Raymond made.

By then, Lance and Sven were trying to convince Keith to let go.

“He’s not worth it, Keith,” Lance said.

“You know Allura wouldn’t want you to kill him just to protect her and the twins,” Sven added. “Just let go.”

Hunk knew to stay back. He could have overpowered Keith, but there was a chance that it would cause Keith to snap Prince Raymond’s neck.

Admiral Lawler turned to Pidge.

“Go get Princess Allura immediately!”

Prince Raymond was screaming and in terrible pain. He finally realized that he should have kept his big mouth shut. He never should have challenged Keith on the subject. He now knew why Captain Keith Armstrong was the most feared man in the galaxy.

Just as Pidge went to step out of the room, Princess Allura came walking in. She immediately went into “Princess mode.” She saw that Keith had Prince Raymond in the crossface chicken wing and would not let go.

“Lawrence, you let that poor man go at once!”

Keith looked around to try to see who had called him by his middle name.

“If you don’t want to be next, you’d better not call me that ever again!”

“Excuse me, Lawrence, are you talking to me?”

Keith realized that it was Allura talking to him and that he had made a grave mistake. He quickly let the prince go and turned to Allura.

“Allura, I can explain. Really I can!” He told her, trying to give her one of his “I’ll explain later” looks.

Allura glared back at him.

Keith gave in.

“He said something about forcing you into marriage and having an abortion,” he sighed.

“Prince Raymond can talk about marriage all he wants. I would not marry the jerk if he was the last man in the galaxy. And did you forget to shave this morning, Keith? I do not have time for this nonsense this morning Captain!”

Keith winced at the use of his title.

“I have to go and calm down my people’s fears now. I believe you should come with me!”

Allura left the room, dragging Keith along with her by the ear. Coran and the Galaxy Alliance officers followed, shaking their heads.

Keith mumbled to himself under his breath, “There won’t be any cuddling for me tonight.”
