Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Ciro shook himself to try and get his tears to stop. He licked Theia on the cheek, which caused her to rub her eyes and sniff before hugging him. Ketsin glanced up at his dad as he reappeared and hugged his leg tight.
The egg gave another crack, starting to wobble now.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys lifted and hugged his children as he approached the egg.

[Kira]

Ciro tilted his head as he looked the egg over. He knew that it was a she inside, but that was about it. Theia stayed clung to her father, her eyes on the egg. Ketsin reached out to prod the egg, a odd little sound coming from inside it.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys crouched next to the egg, watching.

[Kira]

There was silence for a moment before a quick wiggle and the egg shattered. A small Deoxys sat in the remnants, the colour of a shiny Absol. The top of the egg was still covering it's head and it made a confused noise.
Ciro stared for a moment before he looked down. "She's got mom's colours.."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys almost cried again, but he held it back. He lifted the shell off its head.

[Kira]

The baby looked up at Deoxys and blinked, her head tilted. One eye was normal Deoxys colouring, the other with a bright blue pupil instead. "Daddy?" She asked curiously, blinking.

[Moonlost]

((Senna, a thought popped into my head while I was breeding up my Hound pack in HG. I know, who woulda thunk it. I wonder what would happen if my slightly-sociopathic Venin ever met up with Phantom? Or indeed any of your other stray eeveelutions? She needs a chance to stand out and get out of Seventeen's shadow. And since you want something to do with your eeveelutions... It's just a stray thought of course. If you have other plans you want to put in motion, go ahead. ))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys started to tear up when he looked into the beautiful blue eye of the baby, "Yes...I'm your father..."

He lifted the baby and hugged her tightly.

[Kira]

The baby squeaked before she snuggled into her father, happyness radiating off her. She closed her eyes and settled in against him.
"What should we name her dad..?" Ciro tilted his head as he looked over his new sister, tail flicking.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys tilted his head, "....Ledora?"

[Kira]

Ciro smiled and nodded, even as she looked up at her dad. "I think she approves too."
Theia giggled and floated up to be level with Ledora. "I'm not the only girl anymore!"
Ketsin scoffed. "You're still the most annoying."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys placed the baby on the ground, he whispered to Ciro, "I'm going to go pay my final respects to your mother....keep an eye on your siblings...unless you want to come..."

[Kira]

Ciro blinked and nodded. "I'm coming with you." He looked determined, though that was probably to hold back his tears.
Ledora blinked around and looked at her sister and youngest brother, her head tilting a bit. She let out an odd little noise, very few words available to her.
Theia smiled and moved over to her sister and teaching her, swatting Ketsin if he said something stupid.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys lifted his son and teleported to where he buried Delora.

"This is where I first met your mother..."

[Kira]

Ciro glanced around and tilted his head a bit. He was expecting something a bit more..interesting. It was just a forest with a knocked over tree that had gouges in it. "Really? You met her here? Huh...did you know right away dad?"

(( Yesterday I was so happy that my plan Finally came through and I got to kill Delora...today I'm wondering what the Heck I did T_T Darn you emotions! ))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys sighed, "I didn't even know what love was at the time....I just saw her as a potential powerful ally...."

[Kira]

Ciro blinked and looked at his father, his head tilted again. "Really? You didn't think she was pretty or anything?"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys began to blush, "It didn't concern me at the time.....it was later on in my crusade.....that's when I started to notice tho I still didn't understand it..."

[Kira]

Ciro began to grin. "You're blushing dad!" He giggled for a moment before he started to calm down. "When did you start to notice? And how did you figure out that you loved mommy?"
