Ray had been at his old scoop, cleaning it out today. But his work was cut short when he heard something. Running outside, he saw a small Andalite, maybe a month old at the most. He was a dark blue, almost black, with a shining black tail blade and green eyes. And he looked sad, like he was looking for someone.
Ray felt drawn to the child somehow, as if he'd known him. Then, the child saw him, and Ray saw something...only in his head. Jae! The baby was looking for his mother! Meaning...it was his. He spoke in thought speech to the child, Tyrelinn-Estlinn-Ishmael, and held out his hand, persuading the young one that he was his father.
Now, Raylor walked to his apartment, holding his hand. He called Ruby, asking her to meet him there.
He walked up and opened the door. He was excited to have found his son, but h ad no idea how he was going to take care of him.

Ruby was studying...Well, to be more specific, she had been studying, but she had fallen asleep on her book. She woke with a start when Ray called her name. "What? I'm up! I'm up!" She rubbed her eyes, running towards him. She stopped short when she saw the Andalite.
"Um...Ray...Honey...Who is this?" She raised her eyebrows, leaning against the door frame. She smiled down at the little one, who was attempting to hide behind Ray's legs.

He smiled at Ruby. "Um..remember how I said my former mate had disappeared when she was pregnant?" he asked. "Well, I was cleaning out the scoop and found him. He was looking for his mother, and showed me sort of a mental picture of her." He felt tears of joy well up in his eyes, especially feeling little Tyrelinn trying to hide behind his leg. "Baby? This is Tyrelinn. And...he's my son."

Ruby knelt down. "Why, hello there," she said. She held out her hand. "My name is Ruby."
She rocked back slightly as she was bombarded with the color red combined with her face. She put a hand to her head and smiled again. "Yes, that's right. Rubies are red. Like my hair." Again a wave of pictures, but these weren't as strong. One of them was Ray, only instead of blond hair, he had red.
She laughed, looking up at Ray. "He's adorable. Are you hungry?" She braced herself as the wave of pictures came again, strong with images of grass and the forest. "We should probably give him some food."

Ray smiled, glad the apartment was close to the forest. "Okay. I can take him to go feed. You'd be okay if he stayed here, right?" he asked. "From what I gather, he's been alone for quite a while. I know, this is probably weird for you..." he rambled, taking Tyrel by the hand.

She stood up and planted a kiss on his cheek. "I'm living with a used-to-be Andalite. I think we passed weird ages ago. Now, go. Your boy needs you right now. I'll be just fine."

Raylor smiled as she kissed his cheek. "I guess you're right. I love you." He walked with Tyrelinn to the forest long enough to feed before taking him back to the apartment. Once inside, he looked down at the young Andalite. He was so happy...

The young Andalite looked up at his father. He sent images of happiness, picking up on Ray's. Then he sent a picture of red.
Ruby came out of the kitchen, a mitten on her hand. "Oh, good. You two are back. How was your walk?" She smiled, wiping her hair out of her face.

Ray smiled as he was bombarded with happy images, feeling happier knowing that his son was happy. And judging from the red, he could tell Tyrelinn was beginning to like Ruby. "It was nice," he told Ruby softly. He wiped a few tears from his eyes, still grinning.

She wrapped an arm around him and kissed him. "I'm glad." She looked down at him with a smile. "He looks a lot like you."

He kissed her back. "Thanks. He does, doesn't he?" he said almost dreamily.
"I'm glad I put off cleaning the scoop out until today. If not for that, he's still be alone." He let go of Tyrelinn's hand, and wrapped the arm around him.

Tyrelinn looked up with a stalk-eye, looking confused. He sent the image of the kiss back at Ray, along with a wave of confusion.
"I'm glad too," Ruby said. "Otherwise we never would have met him. And I would not have the cutest stepson," she said, smiling at Tyrelinn.

Ray looked down at Tyrelinn and smiled. He didn't know how to explain a kiss to someone so young, so he knelt down and kissed Tyrelinn's forehead. He stood up and looked at Ruby. "So it's a good thing for all of us."

She smiled. "Yes, it is."
Tyrelinn sort of looked confused about the head-kiss, but smiled to match Ruby's. He reached out a hand to touch her oven mitt. She smiled and took it off, handing it to him. He took a step back, startled. It looked like she had taken off her skin. Then he realized that her hand now matched her other hand.
Confused, he flipped it over, peering inside it.

Ray smiled at Tyrelinn's reactions to both the kiss and the oven mitt. He was so adorable. He looked down at his son, then at his girlfriend. "Well, guess we're an official family now, huh?" He said with a light chuckle.
