Steppenwolf's Girl :)
By: SnowPuppy

There was once a girl... named Kay-Si(ME!!!!! Though its really spelt 
Kasey, 
my name has to be like an echidna's, since in this story I am one!!) 
and she 
had a huge crush on Steppenwolf.  (Kinda like the last story, about the 
girl 
named Terri-Sa, except Kay-Si's wish comes true, unlike Terri-Sa's 
almost 
did, and without putting the other guardians out of existance! Since it 
never 
said who Steppenwolf's wife really was, I made it to be Kay-Si! No, 
Kay-Si 
isn't related to Terri-Sa.)
She was peacefully taking a stroll on the island. She had been walking 
for a 
while, so she decided to stop and rest. She thought of her dreams to 
marry 
Steppenwolf. Though, they hadn't come true yet, and Kay-Si hasn't even 
met 
him yet!!
She was hoping she'd run into him, since that was the reason she was 
taking a 
stroll on the island in the first place, because she was looking for 
him. She 
could've sworn her heart had skipped a beat while thinking about him.
She thought of them marrying and having children. She thought of 
several ways 
they could meet. She looked in the sky, daydreaming, and what else 
about, but 
the guy she had a crush on.
But to her, it was much more than a crush. It was a HUGE  crush. She 
had been 
in love with him for months. But with the good, came the bad, and she 
began 
to think that Steppenwolf wouldn't like her. She began to think that 
when she 
met him she would be the only one in love... and that Steppenwolf would 
never 
feel any love for her. 
Her eyes blinked and her nose twitched at the thought. She took a deep 
breath, and got up. She decided she would go searching for Steppenwolf 
again.. maybe she would run into him this time.
But as she walked, it got darker. Day was turning into night. She began 
to 
feel sleepy, and she rubbed her eyes. She yawned, and thought I'll find 
Steppenwolf in the morning, I'm too tired right now. She searched for a 
good 
place to sleep for the night. She found a nice pile of leaves, and 
layed down 
in them. She stretched and looked at the now-dark sky for a moment, 
then shut 
her eyes and went to sleep. 
Later on in the night, she woke up from her sleep. Huh? She thought, 
It's not 
even morning yet. What am I doing awake? That question crossed her 
mind. She 
blinked, and wondered what time it was. She looked at her watch. 4:00 
AM! She 
thought, What am I doing up this early?  But no matter how hard she 
tryed, 
her body refused to go back to sleep. This is odd, she thought, I dont 
usually have trouble getting back to sleep, well sometimes, but I 
haven't 
recently. She got up from the pile of leaves. One quick thought hit her 
mind: 
I bet the reason why I can't get to sleep is because my mind has been 
mostly 
on Steppenwolf! But she didn't feel tired, either. So this was most 
unusual, 
because usually when she can't get back to sleep she's still tired. But 
this 
time she wasn't.
She decided to just get up, because it wouldn't help much just laying 
there 
in that pile of leaves. So she got up. Well, I cant look for 
Steppenwolf now, 
she thought, he's probably not even awake yet.  But she got up anyway, 
since 
she couldn't get back to sleep. She took a morning walk, in the dark. 
This is 
so creepy! She thought, I absolutly HATE walking alone in the dark! But 
what 
Kay-Si didn't know was, she wasn't alone.  Steppenwolf had found her. 
What 
Kay-Si didn't know was, that Steppenwolf got up early for duty.  
Steppenwolf 
thought her an enemy at first, because he never seen her around before. 
Kay-Si heard something behind her. She barely turned her head, and then 
glanced over her shoulder.  She saw a figure moving in the darkness. It 
looked like a figure of an echidna. Kay-Si's heart sang.
What if it's Steppenwolf? Thought the exicited Kay-Si, Though I dont 
know 
what he is doing up this early,  I sure hope it's him!
But Kay-Si didn't know that she shouldn't be hoping. Right now 
Steppenwolf 
was the last echidna Kay-Si needed to come encountered with. For 
Steppenwolf 
wasn't dropping by to greet Kay-Si, he was planning to do a surprise 
attack 
on her, for he thought she was a dark legionnaire, for its hard to tell 
whats 
what in the dark.
But it WAS Steppenwolf. Kay-Si stood still, because she really wanted 
to meet 
him. But she didn't know that she should be running, not stopping. Then 
she 
heard a voice, only she could hear.
Kay-Si, listen, and listen quick, said the voice, that IS Steppenwolf, 
and 
you must run!
Why? Thought Kay-Si, If I run I may never get to meet him.
Believe me, Steppenwolf is the last person you want to encounter, Said 
the 
voice,  he isn't here to greet you to the island. He is planning to do 
a 
surprise attack on you, because he thinks your an enemy. He dont know 
that 
you aren't, because it's hard to tell whats what in the dark, and you 
know 
that. And you also know that you DONT want to get attacked by 
Steppenwolf! So 
run, run why you still have the chance...!
The voice was confusing her by the minute. She didn't know where the 
voice 
was coming from. All she knew was she better make up her mind and act 
fast, 
because Steppenwolf was getting closer and closer by the minute.
She decided to trust her instincts, and run, no matter how much she 
wanted to 
meet Steppenwolf. She definatly DIDN'T want to get attacked by him, and 
what 
that voice said DID make sence.
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She breathed hard, and 
felt like 
she needed to stop. She was running so fast, that she got tired only a 
few 
minutes after she began to run. She felt her legs stop below her. She 
tryed 
to catch her breath, she felt like passing out. Oh, well I'm probably 
way 
past Steppenwolf by now, she thought, he's probably still back there 
and he's 
probably gave up. But Kay-Si certainly knew better. Steppenwolf wasn't 
one to 
give up. She fell on her hands and knees, breathing hardly, then she 
heard a 
voice behind her.
"You have some explaining to do."
She gasped. It was Steppenwolf's voice!
She wondered how in the world Steppenwolf had caught up with her, but 
there 
was no time for that. She turned around and faced Steppenwolf for the 
first 
time in her life.
Steppenwolf's eyes turned big. He then noticed that this echidna was a 
girl. 
But he wasn't going off his guard. 
"Well...?" He said after getting impatient.
"Ummm... what?" Kay-Si said, after thinking about what to say.
"Explain!" Said Steppenwolf.
"Explain  what?" Said Kay-Si.
"What your doing here." Said Steppenwolf, starting to get annoyed.
"That's easy. I came here to see what it was like. I mean no harm, no 
harm at 
all." Said Kay-Si, hoping Steppenwolf would believe her at her word.
Steppenwolf's frown turned to a half-smile. 
"Okay... but if I ever find out otherwise, you will wish you have never 
met 
me." Said Steppenwolf, looking straight at Kay-Si.
"Yes, yes.. I understand. By the way, my name is Kay-Si." Said Kay-Si.
"Okay, and you probably know that I'm Steppenwolf." Said Steppenwolf.
"Yes, I've heard about you." Said Kay-Si.
"Sorry for chasing you, I didn't mean to frighten you, just doing my 
job, 
thats all." Said Steppenwolf.
"Yes, I perfectly understand." Said Kay-Si, looking at Steppenwolf with 
puppydog-eyes.
"Well, I better go." Said Steppenwolf.
We just met, and now he wants to leave?! He doesn't like me! I knew it! 
Thought Kay-Si, her eye's swelling with tears.
Wait! Was the only word that came accross Kay-Si's mind, but what she 
didn't 
know was that she had said that word aloud. 
"What is it?" Asked Steppenwolf, looking back at her.
Oh, what am I going to do! I can't tell him that I love him right now! 
It's 
not time yet! What am I going to say?! Thought Kay-Si.
"I.... I'm lost. All that running got me lost and now I dont know where 
to 
go." Said Kay-Si, thinking up a fast excuse.
"Well, I'll take you back, and you can find your way home from there." 
Said 
Steppenwolf.
"Okay." Said Kay-Si, shrugging.
Steppenwolf grabbed her hand, and led her back through the darkness.
He's holding my hand! He's holding my hand! Maybe he does like me after 
all! 
Thought Kay-Si, but she knew that the reason why Steppenwolf was 
holding her 
hand was probably because he didn't want her to get lost in the 
darkness.
Right then and there, she thought her heart had skipped two beats. She 
was 
quivering all over inside. But she tryed her best to not let 
Steppenwolf feel 
her quivering, because he would probably start suspecting that Kay-Si 
had a 
crush on him, which she did.
She felt like she couldn't feel her insides, and that her heart had 
stopped 
beating, and her throat was dry. She was actually holding Steppenwolf's 
hand! 
She knew Steppenwolf was only leading her out of the darkness, but she 
tryed 
her best to make that moment last. She squeezed Steppenwolf's hand, not 
even 
knowing she was doing so.
"Hey, can you loosen the grip?" Said Steppenwolf, noticing Kay-Si's 
grip on 
his hand was getting firmer by the minute.
"Oh, sorry." Said Kay-Si, now noticing her tight grip on Steppenwolf's 
hand.
Kay-Si carefully loosened her grip.  She swallowed a hard swallow. 
That was close! Even though I love Steppenwolf and want him to know one 
day, 
this isn't the time for him to know.  I have to wait awhile before 
telling 
him. Thought Kay-Si.
She then noticed that they were almost out of the darkness. Kay-Si's 
moment 
of glory with Steppenwolf was almost over. Soon their hands would let 
go of 
each other, and Steppenwolf would leave Kay-Si to go about her 
business.
Kay-Si heard something. But Steppenwolf wasn't making the sound. 
Someone else 
was there with them.
Kay-Si heard something, and felt something piercing into her back. Then 
everything went black. She was not aware of what was going on around 
her, she 
was unconscious.
When she woke up, she seen Steppenwolf look down at her. She also 
noticed 
that she was laying in a puddle of blood;her own blood.
"Your alive!" She heard Steppenwolf say. 
Kay-Si's eyes grew big by the time she learned what was going on. 
Somebody 
had shot her!
"It's a miracle! I didn't think you would survive, or even awaken until 
we 
got you to a medic." Said Steppenwolf.
"What happened...?" Asked Kay-Si. She knew somebody had shot her, but 
she 
just didn't know who. She was hoping that Steppenwolf knew.
"I don't know specifically who it was, but I do know that he was a dark 
legionnaire, and that he was trying to shoot me, but accidently shot 
you 
instead." Said Steppenwolf.
Luckily it was me and not Steppenwolf! I wouldn't know what to do if he 
was 
the one that got shot. Thought Kay-Si. By now, the pain in her back was 
growing stronger. She didn't know how much more of this she could take.
"My father, Edmund, was in the same situation as you. He got shot by a 
dark 
legionnaire, too, but the only difference was he didn't survive.  I was 
afraid I was going to go through the same thing all over again." Said 
Steppenwolf.
"Okay, but right now, I'd rather be dead than feeling this intense 
pain!" 
Said Kay-Si.
"Yes, we better get a medic here. You are in need of some serious 
medical 
attention, because at any time you could pass out and die." Said 
Steppenwolf, 
looking worried.
We barely met, and he's worried about me! Maybe he does like me! 
Thought 
Kay-Si, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
 Steppenwolf got the medics there. The medics done all they could for 
Kay-Si. 
The medics told Steppenwolf that Kay-Si needed lots of rest, and also, 
not to 
let her stress herself, because the pain could come back easily.
Steppenwolf decided to look after her. He took care of her the best he 
could, 
and every day Kay-Si seemed even more convinced that Steppenwolf really 
did 
like her.
It takes an accident to realize you love someone, Thought Kay-Si, and 
Steppenwolf is living proof of that.
She looked at Steppenwolf who was sitting down reading a book. She 
smiled at 
him. She only wished that she wasn't hurt, so that they could go on 
their 
first date.
Weeks after weeks passed by, and soon Kay-Si was feeling much better. 
Her 
back healed, and Steppenwolf looked at her in amazement.
"It's amazing that you survived that powerful shot, and my father 
didn't. 
It's amazing that you even healed!" Said Steppenwolf with a smile on 
his face.
Kay-Si smiled back. Then she heard that same voice that she heard that 
one 
night when her and Steppenwolf first met.
You survived, because you loved.
Kay-Si put on a confused face. Huh?
You didn't die because you hung on to your love for Steppenwolf. Your 
love 
kept you from dying. It also healed you. You didn't give up, so you 
lived. 
You fought death, and have won.
Kay-Si was getting more confused by the minute, for she had no clue 
where 
this voice was coming from.
"What is it?" Asked Steppenwolf, now noticing Kay-Si's confused look.
"It's this voice." Said Kay-Si.
"Voice?" Wondered Steppenwolf.
"Yes. It speaks to me every now and then. It gives me advice... though 
I dont 
know where its coming from." Said Kay-Si.
"Advice?" Asked Steppenwolf.
"Yes. Like the time it told me you were planning to do a surprise 
attack on 
me when you thought I was a dark legionnaire. And just now, when it 
told me I 
didn't die because I hung on to love... and that I fought death and 
have 
won." Said Kay-Si.
"Thats really amazing, Kay-Si..." Said Steppenwolf.
"I know, you dont believe me. Go ahead. Laugh." Said Kay-Si, her eyes 
starting to swell up with tears like the time she thought Steppenwolf 
didn't 
like her.
"No! I believe you! I believe in those kind of things. I totally 
believe you, 
okay?" Said Steppenwolf, holding up Kay-Si's  chin so their eyes met.
"Okay." Said Kay-Si, nodding her head.
After that, Kay-Si and Steppenwolf started to go on dates. They were 
soon 
known as boyfriend and girlfriend. Kay-Si was happy with excitement. 
Her 
dreams were finally coming true!
After all the dates that they've had, Steppenwolf had to have a talk 
with 
Kay-Si about something. 
"What is it?" Asked a curious Kay-Si.
"I need to ask you something.. I know its kind of sudden.. but I 
believe its 
the right time." Said Steppenwolf, looking straight at Kay-Si.
"What?" Wondered Kay-Si.
Kay-Si then thought of something terrible. What if he wants to dump me? 
Her 
eyes looked straight at her boyfriend, wondering what it was that was 
on his 
mind.
Steppenwolf took a small box, and Kay-Si soon noticed it as a jewelry 
box. 
Kay-Si's heart sang with joy.
What if he's about to propose to me? Oooh, I sure hope thats it! I've 
been 
wanting to marry him for so long. She thought, staring at the little 
box in 
the middle of Steppenwolf's hand.
Steppenwolf opened it, to reveal a beautiful, sparkly ring right in the 
center of the box. He knelt down. He WAS proposing to Kay-Si!!
"Will you marry me?" He asked.
Kay-Si's eye's flew wide open. "Yes! Yes, I will! I will!" Said an 
excited 
Kay-Si, with most joy.
At that moment, they both looked at each other. And without warning, 
they 
both kissed. And Kay-Si just couldn't believe what was happening! To 
that 
lonely day, a long, long time ago, when she was alone walking in the 
darkness, to this glorious day when Steppenwolf proposed to her! 
The wedding day was decided. It would be on Kay-Si's birthday, 
Steppenwolf 
insisted. 
Later on, a month before the wedding, and two months after Steppenwolf 
had 
proposed to her, Kay-Si was in the bathroom, brushing her echidna-hair. 
Steppenwolf was busy looking for a wedding dress for her. So he wasn't 
there 
at this moment. Kay-Si put the brush down, and smiled in the mirror.
Only one more month until the wedding! I still can't believe I'm 
getting 
married to Steppenwolf! I still can't believe it! Wishes really do come 
true. 
She thought. Then she heard a familiar voice;the same voice she had 
heard 
when Steppenwolf and her first met, and the same voice she heard when 
she and 
Steppenwolf were wondering how she had survived that gunshot.
You must get out of here. You must. You will die if you dont. You must 
rush 
outside. Go. Or you will die, and your whole future with Steppenwolf 
will die 
as well. Go! Go, before its too late!!
Kay-Si's face scrunched up, making a confused face. It's that voice 
again! 
But why does it want me to get out? Everythings fine, perfect, and 
dandy! She 
thought.
No! Nothing is fine, perfect, or dandy! Everything has gone wrong! You 
may 
not know it now, but it has. Now get out, before you die and never ever 
get 
to marry Steppenwolf. Your whole future will be gone with the wind if 
you 
dont.
Kay-Si wondered what the voice met. Everything seemed fine. Though, the 
voice 
has never been wrong before, so she decided to follow its advice and 
get out.
When she walked out of the bathroom, her eyes grew big as she saw what 
the 
voice met.
The whole place was on fire! Kay-Si didn't know what to do as she 
looked into 
the big, orange flames. 
The fire was trapping her. There was no way she could get out. She fell 
on 
the floor and cryed, as she knew her life would soon be over, and she 
would 
never marry Steppenwolf, and all her hopes and dreams would never come 
true.
Just then, she heard footsteps.
Oh, Steppenwolf must be back! Thank goodness, maybe he can do something 
about 
this! Then again, maybe he cant. Maybe he should get out while he still 
can, 
before the flames swallow him up, too.
Steppenwolf turned the knob, and opened the door. He looked at the 
flames as 
wide-eyed as Kay-Si did when she first saw them.
"Dont worry, I wont let the flames take you, Kay-Si! I will have you 
out of 
here in no time." He said to her.
"Steppenwolf.... you must.. save.. yourself.." Said Kay-Si, now 
starting to 
pass out because of the smoke surrounding her.
"No, I wont leave you!" Kay-Si heard Steppenwolf say.
Kay-Si was still half-awake, but she wasn't aware of anything that was 
going 
on around her.
Steppenwolf moved his hands in circles as green emerald light blew the 
flames 
away. Kay-Si had forgotten that Steppenwolf posessed the power of the 
Chaos 
Emerald.
Kay-Si was still laying down on the floor, for the smoke had not left 
her 
lungs. She was breathing hard, trying to catch the fresh air that now 
surrounded her.
"Are you alright?" Asked Steppenwolf.
"I think so." Said Kay-Si, now recieving back her memory and noticing 
what 
was now going on.
"Well just in case, you should see a medic." Said Steppenwolf, feeling 
Kay-Si's heartbeat, which was going faster than usual.
Kay-Si got up, but felt dizzy. She fell back down, with a hard thud. 
She then 
noticed that she was far from "alright". She was in need of some 
serious 
medical attention.
When the medic had the results, she came to tell Steppenwolf.
"Your girlfriend is doing quite well. But you must make sure that she 
doesn't 
participate in any activities that involve running, or any activity 
that 
would make her heart rate go up, for if it does, she could pass out, 
like she 
almost did there. But otherwise she's fine, the smoke has finally 
disappeared 
from her lungs." Said the medic.
"Thank goodness." Said Steppenwolf, stroking Kay-Si's now-matted 
echidna-hair.
Soon, Kay-Si was feeling much better. The medics were astonished by 
Kay-Si's 
amazing recovery, just as they were the last time she recovered from 
something that could be fatal.
"There's something about that girl." Said the head medic, Shirley-Li.
"What?" Asked Steppenwolf.
"It's amazing. She's recovered from two fatal accidents. It's amazing 
how she 
recovered.. I never seen anything like it." Said Shirley-Li.
"Well, she's just lucky, I guess." Said Steppenwolf, shrugging.
Kay-Si then remembered what the voice had said: Your love kept you from 
dying.
Maybe it kept her from dying this time, too. So, as long as Kay-Si held 
on to 
her love for Steppenwolf, she wouldn't die, no matter how fatal the 
accident. 
She was amazed herself.
But what if Steppenwolf got in any danger? She thought, Even if he does 
posess the powers of the emerald, one day he might not be able to react 
in 
time... I would just die if I lost him. I hope he can hang on to our 
love, 
too.  I must tell him.
"Steppenwolf..." Said Kay-Si, looking at him.
"What is it?" He asked her.
"Remember what that voice said? Remember how I told you that...?" 
Kay-Si told 
him.
"Yes, I remember." Said Steppenwolf.
"Well.. I want to tell you to hold on to the love we have, like I do. 
Maybe 
it will protect us both, from dying." Said Kay-Si.
"Kay-Si... you know everybody dies one day." Said Steppenwolf.
"Yes, but what if its not time yet? If its not time, then the love will 
protect us, and you have to hold on to it, to fight death, if you are 
ever in 
a fatal accident." Said Kay-Si.
"Dont worry, I will. And as long as it's not time for us to die, we 
will be 
alright.. okay?" Said Steppenwolf to Kay-Si.
"Yes." Said Kay-Si.
The days and weeks flew by, and soon it was Kay-Si and Steppenwolf's 
wedding 
day, also Kay-Si's birthday.
"We are finally going to be married." Said Kay-Si, looking at her 
soon-to-be 
husband.
"Yes." Said Steppenwolf.
After that, they both kissed,  and went to get ready for the wedding.
Kay-Si danced around in her long, white, sparkly dress that Steppenwolf 
had 
got for her. The wedding would soon begin, and she was already getting 
goosebumps.
When the wedding began, Kay-Si was quivering all over, much like the 
time 
when her and Steppenwolf were holding hands when they first met, so 
long ago.
But when they were finally married, she wasn't quivering any more. They 
had 
already both said "I do", and they were already pronounced husband and 
wife, 
and now it was time for them to kiss. Kay-Si was happy at this.
They both kissed, and had cake, and had a wonderful time. When the 
wedding 
was over, they were both exhuasted. It had been a long night.
"Well, I cant believe it! We're finally married." Said Kay-Si.
"Yes, we are." Said Steppenwolf.
They were both very exhuasted, so they both went to sleep. Their 
honeymoon 
was in the morning. 
They went to the island's beach for their honeymoon. They had a 
terrific 
time. Kay-Si and Steppenwolf's marriage was a happy one.
Two years after their honeymoon, Kay-Si was moping around. Steppenwolf 
was 
concerned. She didn't look happy, and something was definatly wrong.
"Whats wrong, dear?" He asked her. 
"Oh, I dont know. I just can't help feeling somethings different.. like 
I 
dont feel like myself any more." Said Kay-Si.
Kay-Si then fell to the floor, which concerned Steppenwolf even more.
"You should see a medic." He told her.
When the medic came back with the results, Steppenwolf looked worried.
"Well...? How is she?" He wanted to know.
"It's good news!" Said the medic.
"She's alright. Good." Said Steppenwolf shaking off the worried look.
"Even better than that." Said the medic with a grin.
"What?" Asked Steppenwolf.
"Your wife is pregnant." The medic told Steppenwolf.
"Pregnant? You mean I'm going to be a father?" He asked.
"Yep." Said the medic.
When Kay-Si got to go home, they looked through name books to find a 
perfect 
name for their baby when it was born.
Finally they decided on names, and it wasn't easy.
"How about Tray-Si if it's a girl and Moonwatcher if it's a boy?" Asked 
Steppenwolf.
"Umm... okay!" Said Kay-Si, finally agreeing at Steppenwolf's 
suggestions.
Steppenwolf watched Kay-Si's movements carefully. He didn't want her to 
stress herself. 
"Be careful!" He told her.
"Don't worry about me. It's not like I'm going to die just because I'm 
going 
to get some water." Said Kay-Si heading for the kitchen.
"I think it would be better if I could get the water for you." Said 
Steppenwolf.
"Oh, come on. It's just the kitchen." Said Kay-Si.
"I know, but you should rest. No arguing." Said Steppenwolf.
Kay-Si sighed. "Okay."
Kay-Si's stomach got bigger as months flew by. Soon she would be giving 
birth. They always went to the hospital to check if the baby was doing 
okay.
"Your baby is just fine. It should be born in about one more month. Be 
easy 
on yourself." Said the medic looking down at Kay-Si.
"I'm sure my husband will see to that." Said Kay-Si, knowing that 
sometimes 
Steppenwolf could be paranoid.
"Yes, I'm sure he will." Said the medic.
"Hows our baby?" Said Steppenwolf coming into the room.
"Your baby is just fine. Bring Kay-Si back in next month. She should be 
giving birth to the baby by then." Said the medic.
As usual, Steppenwolf made sure Kay-Si took it easy.  But then one day, 
Kay-Si was alone in the house.. Steppenwolf had gone out for a while. 
And 
Kay-Si was ready to give birth.. and she wasn't suppose to be ready for 
two 
weeks. 
Kay-Si needed her husband now more than ever. She didn't know what to 
do. He 
wasn't back yet.
Finally, Kay-Si heard a relieving sound.. the door. Steppenwolf was 
finally 
back.
"Are you alright?" Said Steppenwolf noticing the expression on Kay-Si's 
face.
"No! I'm ready to give birth." Said Kay-Si.
"But your not suppose to be ready for two weeks." Said Steppenwolf.
"I know! But  it looks like I'm ready now!" Said Kay-Si.
Steppenwolf rushed Kay-Si to the hospital. Sure enough, she was ready 
to give 
birth to the baby.
Kay-Si had a hard time doing this;since this was her firstborn. She 
didn't 
know anything about giving birth to a baby.
But after awhile, she had finished her part of giving birth. She 
finally got 
to rest.
The next step was waiting for the baby to hatch from its egg;for 
everyone 
knows that echidnas dont give live birth. Steppenwolf stroked Kay-Si's 
echidna-hair while waiting for their baby to hatch.
Finally, after awhile, it did. The two parents watched in wonder as 
their 
newborn was hatched from the egg. Their new baby was a boy. Like they 
said, 
they called him Moonwatcher.
Steppenwolf picked up the newly-hatched echidna and handed him to 
Kay-Si. She 
cradled her newborn and cryed happily.
Now Steppenwolf and Kay-Si weren't a couple anymore;they were much more 
than 
that. They were now a family, thanks to Moonwatcher. 
THE END
