A light slap to the back of his head earned a whine as Lance shakes his head in annoyance. Looking down at the kids, he places a hand on both Ramon's and Mira's heads. "Anyone else wants to say something?"

"Hi Pop-pop. I wish I could have met you. Uncle James said that you were an awesome firefighter and I want to do that too! You could have taught me... but Ma said that you left us way before we were born. I wish you could have been here to see my firetruck collection. Thank you for being there for Mama and Uncle James." The eleven year old smiles brightly as everyone coos.

"Uh... grandpa? Sorry I haven't addressed you as such. I usually just prayed on your grave because I felt... connected to it? I guess I know why now. Thank you for watching over me and Ma. Apparently I have siblings and a lot more family members than I originally imagined. Oh! Remind me to call Raul, he'll be worried sick if I don't. Oh who am I kidding, he's probably waiting by the gate right now. Anyways, thank you so much." Ashlyn prays, clapping twice again to signify the end of all prayers as she stands up; dusting off her sweatpants. "Um, you all are invited to my house. I kind of live here, ever since I outgrew the orphanage. Uh Raoul should be making dinner at the moment, one second while I contact him."

"Who's Raoul...?" Keith questions as his daughter turns to smile at him brightly.

"My alpha."

"Marie, Marie, Marie, Marie... let me get this straight." A red head with light green eyes pinches his nose, his Dalmatian ears turned down as the white golden retriever mix tilts her head in confusion. "You met these people standing over your old grave and the fox claimed to be your mother? How do you know he isn't lying?"

"He knows everything about my birth. Not only that, he said that he'd tell me everything after dinner." Ashlyn pouts as Keith smiles weakly from his seat across from the couple. "Please Raoul, let's listen to what he has to say."

"Fine. But I don't think it's smart to trust people you've just met. What if they got your hopes up?" The ginger huffs, crossing his arms as he gestures to the ravenette who tucks his ears down and back. "Speak omega."

"Uh bup bup, no. That is not how you address your elders. Especially a paladin of Voltron, specifically the leader." James smirks as Raoul's eyes bulge in shock, turning sharply to Keith who groans in annoyance. "What? I wasn't going to just sit back and let some guy disrespect you."

"Thanks James, but I could have handled it." Keith glares at the alpha who shrugs, sitting up to get a better look at the couple in front of him. "But yes, I was the leader of Voltron, a member of the Blades of Malmora and a former red paladin. My husband now holds the title of Red Paladin and was my co-leader. That has nothing to do with you though, Ashlyn."

"Wow you're accomplished... you're only what? 45?" Raul questions as Keith crosses his arms, glaring at the alpha.

"I'm 36. When I was 14, I had Ashlyn. They said that she died approximately 43 hours after her birth. Obviously that wasn't the case." Keith turns to Kolivan and nods, watching as the older galra calmly calls for the kids to follow him. All except for Salvador, Elena, Ayako and Asahi get up to follow. "You should probably go to-..."

"Ma, you already told us last week. We didn't think any differently of you before, why would we now?" Elena smiles gently as Keith returns it with a small nod, facing the couple once more with a blank face.

"I should begin with your conception... I... actually don't want to get into details, but I will tell you the name of your father and what happened between us." Keith begins as Lance lightly holds his hands, comforting him. "His name is... Owen Josephs... and he raped me."

A light gasp comes from the woman as she shakes her head in disbelief. The rest of the group sits in silence, having already heard the story from the omega. "N-no... so that means he's in prison... right?"

"Yeah, for a few more years actually. He should be released in about 8 years. If you want contact with him, I won't stop you. It's your life." Keith sighs, running a hand over his ears. "Him and a few others assaulted me, but he was the only one to impregnate me. I was only 14, I was in foster care. I was scared and depressed. I couldn't take care of myself and made myself sick to the point of when I decided to keep you, my body was too weak to provide anything to you."

"Ma..."

"I'm glad you're alive. I'd like to be apart of your life, if you'd let me. I know it might be scary and you're already grown into a wonderful woman." Keith hums, pausing before turning to Krolia with a small chuckle. "Huh, so that's what it feels like..."

"I'd love for you to be apart of my life... I have so many people for you to meet and I'd love to get to know all of you. Of course starting with you, my siblings and your husband."

Reunited at last! So cute!

Also, for some reason Wattpad is acting up? I don't know, they might be having a few bugs lately. I might move to AO3 if these issues keep happening.

Updates every Monday!
