Here's Part 23!

Keith

"Aw, they're so big? Why are they so big?" Silvio questions as he looks down at babies in the incubator. Kolivan was still in the hospital as he was supposed to be watched for illnesses or complications which just weren't showing up.

"They're fully galra. Keith was actually a very small pup when he was born because he was half human. Galran kids grow fast due to a biological stance and the environment in space. By the fifth day of them being born, they should be able to crawl. A month, and they're walking and trying to talk and so on. We're intelligent lifeforms that are capable of much more than you may believe."

"It is true. Galrans were modified over the years of course to slow down the process significantly due to the decreased lifespans. But the aging process is still faster than those of humans." Lotor explains as I glance at Lance, taking a break from the biology lesson that's being given to his nephew and niece. His parents and siblings left after checking up on Kolivan.

"Um so, Kolivan. I'm going to need to get a bit of your blood to test again. Just a pinch should be good and I'll be back to check up with you all while the tests are being ran." Ezra walks in with a clipboard and needle. "Uh, Keith? Is that okay with you?"

Everyone glances at Keith once more before Keith realizes that with everything that happened, he forgot to introduce the white haired man to everyone in his life. "Uh yeah, Ez... Um, everyone this is Ezra. He's... paid for my tuition when I first started going to the Garrison. Um, Ezra, this is my mom Krolia; my leader and stepfather, Kolivan; Lance, Silvio and Nadia. You remember James."

"Wait, Ezra. That name's familiar...- I remember now. Keith, a word?" James hisses out as I raise an eyebrow as he stands up from his chair, pulling on my arm and dragging me out of the room. "Ezra, go back to work."

The door closes as we stand in front of the door as James takes me by my shoulders, shaking me lightly. "Are you okay? Do you need water? A carrot? Some glasses?"

"What? Why would I need any of that?" I question as I push him out of my face before he pinches his nose in frustration.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe the fact that you're blind? Where's your common sense? You do know who he is, right?" James shouts as I nod slowly. "The party, Keith! The party!"

"I'm aware James. I spoke to him yesterday, remember?" I roll my eyes before he glares at me.

"Did he touch you? Why didn't you fucking tell your alpha? Lance will kill me if anything else happens to you. I have to tell him." James groans as I chuckle.

"James, are you stupid or something? Ezra is good, don't worry. He didn't hurt me, he won't hurt me again, and he's helped me so far." I shrug before placing a hand on the doorknob before James pins his hands by my head, effectively stopping me from entering the room. "What?"

"Are you sure you're fine going back into that room with him?" James presses as I scoff lightly.

"100%. Now can we go? They're probably worried we're making out or something." I joke as his face grows red in embarrassment. "Not in a million years, Griffin."

With that, I reenter the room just as Ezra was reaching for the handle before he smiles gently at me before patting my head. "Sorry."

"Get your hand off of me." I whispered to him in a rushed breath before he freezes before pulling his hand away quickly as I glanced at the floor. "You can come back, just..."

"Right, right. We're still on for coffee later today right?" He awkwardly asks, glancing anywhere but me as I give a meek nod. "Alright. I get off in two hours. You'll be here, right?"
