"Are you crazy?! The citizens will freak!" Sprx exclaimed.

"But guys if we just explain to everyone he's on our side they'll be fine!" Otto said, trying to convince the others.

Mandarin listened in from the med bay, Trent having injured himself.

"What are they talking about?" He asked.

"Otto's trying to get them to allow me to go outside and go to this celebration tomorrow." Mandarin muttered.

Trent blinked and tried to look out but he couldn't see far enough.

"Okay but how are we gonna explain that he's pregnant?" Nova asked.

Otto shrugged.

"Just explain what he told us." He said.

"I don't know Otto, I mean it's still really soon." Gibson muttered.

Otto looked back at the med bay.

"Guys he needs to go back outside, he's gonna get tired of being in here all the time and what are we gonna do about Lazuli when she's born?" Otto asked.

"Lazuli?" Jinmay asked.

"It's one of the names for the baby- anyway! Please guys?" Otto begged.

Everyone was silent.

"I think it's a good idea for him to go."

Everyone looked to see Willow, Amanda, and Arwen.

"What do you mean?" Antauri asked Willow.

Willow shrugged.

"When it rained yesterday and he went out, he was actually kind of happy. I mean he didn't smile or anything nor do I ever see him smile but still. I think he misses the outside, he just doesn't want to admit it." She explained.

Amanda nodded.

"And he needs to experience rain more often...that's just me." She piped.

Arwen looked around and shrugged.

"I just got here so I don't know the whole story." She said.

The Hyperforce thought it over.

Otto gripped his knees.

"Just trust him..." He breathed.

Everyone continued to think.

"Well...I guess it wouldn't hurt." Chiro said.

The three felt very happy.

"But! He's staying with Otto most of the night." Antauri added.

They heard loud groaning coming from the med bay.

"I'm not five!" Mandarin yelled.

"Just let it go for one night." Willow told him.

Mandarin grumbled.

"Besides you get to stay with mee!" Otto said running into the med bay and hugging his knees.

Mandarin was about to protest but then thought it over.

"I guess that's fine." Mandarin said.

Amanda rolled her eyes.

"Yeah after sleeping in your bed I bet it is." She muttered, causing Willow to give her a really confused look.

"Oh they slept in the same bed last night."

Willow's mouth opened and she looked at Mandarin, eyes wide.
