Thank you for choosing to read this story. I've been very passionate about writing it for a while now and I hope that you enjoy reading it.

This story takes place after the Star Fox Command Lucy and Krystal ending. I figured that it was the most likely ending for this story to take place after.

Chapter 1 Krystal's Secret

Fox, Peppy, Falco, Slippy, Krystal, Katt, Amanda, and Lucy have been celebrating the defeat of the Anglars for five hours now. All of them are starting to get tired. But none of them want to home just yet. The thrill and satisfaction of victory only increases the adrenaline rush they're all feeling.

Fox is the only one who is not enjoying the party. The only woman he has ever loved is sitting at the other end of the room talking with Lucy and Peppy. Just looking at the blue vixen now makes his heart jump. Every part of his body tells him to walk over to Krystal, grab her around the waist, and plant a kiss on his pretty lips. But the painful memory of him forcing Krystal away still haunts Fox and keeps him from going to her.

Making things worse for Fox is Falco and Katt making out next to him. Katt is sitting on Falco's lap her arms wrapped around his neck. Falco has one hand on Katt's hip the other on her breast, and his tongue in her mouth. They are having more fun than everyone else. Fox could put up with their foreplay action if they weren't seated right next to him. Even Slippy and Amanda, who are seated across the table from Fox, are having trouble keeping their supper down.

Out of the corner of his eye Fox sees Peppy and Lucy head outside together. Fox can't help but smile. It's been years since Peppy and Lucy have talked as a family together. Lucy's been distant from everyone ever since Vivian died nearly ten years ago, especially towards her father. Krystal's the first person to get through to her. Ever since then Lucy has been looking for an opportunity to speak to her father. This is the first opportunity in months. Fox wishes Peppy and Lucy good luck.

Falco, trying to get Fox's attention, punches Fox in the shoulder so hard that he lands on the floor hard. Fox almost jumps up and attacks Falco but Katt, still sitting on Falco's lap, stops him. Both are out of breath from all their tongue play.

"What the hell Falco?"

Falco points to the door on the other side of the room. "Krystal just walked out that door to get some fresh air. Now's your chance to talk to her."

"Thank you Falco, I owe you one for this."

"Don't worry about it Fox. Just get Krystal to forgive and take you back."

"I hope she will."

Falco waits a second for Fox to leave before attempting an offensive against Katt's lips with his. Katt places her hand on Falco's lips to stop him.

"I think that's enough foreplay Falco. My place is just around the corner. You take me there now and I promise you a night that you will never forget."

"I like the sound of that."

Falco picks up Katt and carries her two blocks where they have a long, restless night full of adult fun.

Fox slowly opens the door so not to disturb Krystal. He finds her outside on the balcony looking over the beautiful Cornerian skyline as it shines against the night sky. Fox can't help but notice how beautiful Krystal looks. Her body looks like it was crafted by angels. Her double D breasts, beautifully – shaped ass, skinny legs, gorgeous face, pretty blue fur, and glowing blue eyes all make it difficult for Fox to even think straight. As he concentrates on Krystal's beauty Fox can't help but remember the time on Titania 2 years ago when he got to see Krystal's bare body and embrace it against his own. Sure there were several other instances where Fox and Krystal "embraced" each other but Titania stands out more than any other. It was the last time they consummated their love before Fox forced her off the time. But it was also their most loving embrace because it was the first time and only time that Fox told Krystal he loved her.

Fox slowly approaches Krystal until he is close enough to touch her. He lightly lays a hand on her shoulder to get her attention, a big mistake. Krystal's mercenary instincts take over as she spins around and decks Fox right in the nose. Fox falls flat on his ass like a sack of potatoes. When Krystal realizes what she's done she runs to Fox.

"Oh Fox I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you."

"It's ok Krystal." Fox replies stroking his soar jaw. "After what I did to you I deserve it and more."

Krystal helps Fox stand up. The blow stunned him. Krystal's somehow gotten stronger since they've last met.

"Why did you follow me out here Fox?"

Fox looks down at his feet not knowing what to say. He's been thinking about this moment ever since he pushed Krystal away but could never come up with the right words to say. Fortunately, just a few days ago Peppy gave Fox advice that if he ever gets the chance to apologize to just speak from the heart. It knows what to say. Fox opens up his heart and looks deep into Krystal's beautiful blue eyes.

"Krystal, I know that you must hate me for forcing you from Star Fox and ending our relationship. You were the only person I ever loved and I ruined my chance at happiness. What's worse is that I never told you the reason why I made you leave."

"Why Fox, why did you do what you did?"

"Do you remember the battle of Fortuna?"

"Of course, that was the worst combat situation I've ever been in. It was bloodbath. How any of us survived that day is still a mystery to me. I'd be dead right now if you haven't saved me, again."

"Well that was the reason why. Seeing you in that situation made me think of what life would be like for me without you. Long story short, life for me would've been a living hell without you. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything had happened to you. So I decided to force you off the team and end our relationship not because I didn't love you but to protect you. I still love you Krystal, I always have."

Thankfully it's too dark for Fox to see the tear running down Krystal's cheek. Krystal knew the reason all along why Fox forced her off the team. But she never expected to hear it coming from Fox's mouth. Just hearing him say the words "I love you" was enough to make her tear up.

"You see Krystal, at the time I believed I was doing the right thing. But it took less than ten minutes for me to realize my mistake. It was the biggest mistake I ever made. I wish that I could take it back. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, the girl I love more than life itself. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for being stupid and come back to me. But if you don't than I will leave you alone and you will never see me again. You don't have to forgive me right now but please let me know what you decide."

Fox turns to leave but Krystal grabs his arms, pulls him into her, wraps her arms around his neck, and gives him the biggest kiss she's given him yet. Krystal jumps at Fox with such force that they almost fall to the ground together. Fox is so stunned that his heart literally stops beating for a second. Then it beats so fast that it feels like it is going to burst out of his chest.

"I forgive you Fox." Krystal says after a minute of wet kissing. "I love you Fox, I always have. But there is something I need to tell you Fox. Something that I should've told you long ago."

Fox heart sinks. "Damn it she's seeing someone else. Oh well, at least I finally got that weight lifted off my chest."

"No Fox, I'm not seeing someone else." Krystal says catching Fox off guard. It's been two years since Fox has had to guard his thoughts against Krystal's telepathy. He's all but forgotten about it now.

"Then what is it Krystal?"

Krystal takes a deep breath to gather her thoughts. She's been looking for a way to tell Fox this secret ever since she found out about it herself nearly two years ago.

"I don't know how to say this Fox so I'm just going to say it." Krystal pauses to gather herself. "Fox we have a son."

Wow talk about an awkward situation. How will Fox respond to finding out that he's a father?
