Chapter 43: Ion and Calypso

                                    

                                          
*1 week later I know a lot of time skips but really*
                          
*Wolf's POV*
                          
"It's okay Wolf. She's okay," Dante and Travis were holding my hands. The doctors said Xylo was going into labor. They would bring me in the second they actually saw the baby. I was hyperventilating. Garroth and Laurance were on their way. I heard my wife's shouts and wanted to be there. Just as the newest married couple on the street rushed in the doctor came through the door.
                          
"Mr. Wolf? Please come in." I bolted up and "calmly" walked in. The nurses were gathered around Xylo. All of a sudden there was a second voice crying. Tears welled in my eyes. My baby.
                          
"Congratulations! It's a boy! The nurse, a pink haired girl gave me a bundle wrapped in linen. I helb the child in my arms as tears flowed down my cheeks. He was beautiful. White fuzz surrounded his head. All of a sudden there was a shout from the nurses.
                          
"Twins!" I stopped dead in my tracks. Twins!? There were two!? This wasn't good. Oh god... Minutes later I was holding a second child in my arms. A girl. She had bleach blonde fuzz and smiled in my arms. Both of the children's eyes were closed. I walked over to my wife. 
                          
"Wolfie?" Xylo asked. Tears stained both our cheeks as the doctors and nurses left us be.

                          
I sat in the stool, "We have twins." Xylo's eyes widened in fear and worry.
                          
"Your kidding."
                          
I handed her the boy and showed her the girl, "Ion and Calypso." Silent words were exchanged. We had had a plan for this. We couldn't financially support two kids. One was fine but two.... As parents we needed to do what was best for our children. For now we would celebrate our parenthood.
                          
Garroth and the others came in and fawned over the children. This was the hardest thing I would ever do.
                          
*Another flipping timeskip to when Xylo gets out of the hospital because Author~Chan is lazy rn*

                          
I held Ion as we had all our friend sitting on the floor or the couches in our house. It was time to explain.
                          
"Is everything okay?" Garroth was the only one who seemed to catch that something was wrong.
                          
Xylo sighed. I could feel the built up grief that was going to be unleashed, the same was in me. We had to give up one of our children. It would be for the best. We didn't want them to grow up hungry due to financial problems. We had debated on which one to let go and in the end drew straws. It was the hardest thing in the world, a mother and father to give up their son or daughter. I nodded and held Ion closer to me. I didn't dare look up to see my friend's faces. 
                          
I couldn't speak and neither could Xylo. It was wrong. I wanted to keep our family together. I would cry, but all tears had been dried last night.
                          
Laurance grabbed my hand, "Tell us Wolf." I-I couldn't. Instead Xylo saved me.
                          
"We," She started, "We have to put Calypso up for adoption." The gang gasped and Donne, being a mother to four, immediately went to hug the poor woman.
                          
I continued for her, "As much as it hurts, we can't financially support them both. We want the best for our babies." I saw as many in the room scratched their brains for a solution.
                          
The Aphmau got it, "I know! The adoption is unavoidable but what if one of us took the child!? Then you could watch them grow up and interact with them! Perfect plan!" My heart skipped a beat... If this was possible... I started to regain hope.
                          
Nicole nodded solemnly, "Not to throw down the idea, but then it would be the receiver's child then. Wouldn't that be awkward for the two sets of parents? Not to forget the widdle cutie!" She gooed at the last few words. 
                          
"At least they could see her. It would be for the best... but who would take them?" Dente asked. All the couple intermingled. I guess it wouldn't work out. I couldn't ask them to take on a child.
                          
"We'll do it."
                          
My head snapped up causing Ion to start crying. I soothed him with my knee as a looked at who spoke up. 
                          
"Are you sure Garroth. You may not have enough room in the house for when they grow up and it may disturb Dante and Travis!" Xylo, being kind hearted tried to give them a way out.

                          
"N-No we cleared out a room since Garroth moved into mine. And I got a new, well paying job. Anyways adoption is the only way me and Garroth could ever be parents. 
                          
Dante and Travis. "We could lend some helping hands too. Also no baby could ever be as loud as Dante. Trust me." Travis assured. I smiled. I would still see my little one grow up. Though it would now be Garroth and Laurence's little girl. 
                          
"In that case," Xylo smiled at Calypso, "Come here and meet your future baby girl." Garroth and Laurence blushed. Nicole and Aphmau practically pushed Garroth and Laurence up and Xylo handed Laurence the baby. A flash of joy glimmered in the married couple's eyes and I had never seen Laurence so happy... Wait. No he looked like that with Garroth. But this was different. Calypso giggled and reached up to tug Laurence's hair.
                          
"Ow!" she had yanked it, hard.
                          
I looked at the entire room. Most of the girls were fangirling and the couples smiled knowingly, Especially Donna and Logan who had adopted their oldest, Yip. 
                          
"When do we go to the state?" Xylo asked the two. They looked up from Calypso.
                          
"When are you available? " Garroth asked.
                          
"As early as tomorrow... what say you?" I replied.
                          
Garroth took Calypso and bundled her in his arms, "Tomorrow sounds good by me. We'll pick you guys up at noon okay?" I agreed and we spent the rest of the day talking about future plans.
