Warning this is a ZADR fic! (yay! I actually finished a ZADR fic! Woot for me!) That being said, this fic contains large amounts of sweetness and family togetherness. It is horrendously AU. There are no lemons, although there are bell peppers. Also theres mention of MPreg.

Story inspired by "Summer Walk" By lledra, Kudos and many thanks to her for inspiring my lazy ass enough to actually write, finish, and post something for the first time in about 6 years. I still haven't figured out how she did it, but I'm sure every teacher I've ever had wants to know too.

Zim and Dib belong to Jhonen, who can now add me to the list of fangirls that make him hurk. Michael and Seraph belong to me and lledra. No squirrels were harmed in the writing of this fic.

Sounds Good

Zim burrowed deeper into his pillow, trying in vain to ignore the sun beams creeping slowly across the bedroom towards his face. He didn't want to wake up yet. He was warm, comfy, cozy and most importantly, it was quiet. The only sound in the room was the gentle purring of the cat, Peach, who also had no desire to leave the warmth of the duvet just yet. Quiet had become all to rare in this house, between Gir and -

"Papa! Papa!" two hyperactive child shaped bundles of pure energy burst into the room and landed on the bed, sending all his hopes of lingering in bed out of the room faster than the scrambling ball of displaced fur.

Huffing slightly he rolled onto his back and sat up, wrapping his arms around his children as they climbed into his lap.

"Papa, papa! Daddy says you need to come down for breakfast!"

"Ya an' once you eats brekkist we can go outside ferawalks!"

Laughing softly he ruffled one child's hair, and the other's antennae. "Okay, okay, breakfast it is, and then outside, but first papa has to get dressed. Go down and let your dad know I'm up you little terrors." He told them gently pushing both towards the edge of the bed.

Watching the two scramble out the door to race down the hall towards the stairs, he had to smile. So much had changed. Years of fighting with the most infuriating human in existence, Dib Membrane, had dissolved when he was officially ostracized by the Irkin Empire. In the end the very human who had sworn to destroy him had given him a reason to exist.

In return after a few years, he had given Dib two beautiful children, the boy Michael who looked mostly human except for his four fingered hands and pale greenish skin, and Seraph who had five fingers but looked much more Irkin, and like most Irkins was dual-gendered. They were fraternal twins, having been carried by Zim at the same time.

Pulling on his pants and a close fitting shirt he finished dressing with a pair of belts, and fluffy blue socks and started making his way down to the kitchen. The wide hallway had a wall on one side that was decorated with pictures of his family and by Dibs many science awards, the other side opened out over the entry way of the house and was guarded by a polished wooden railing. Huge windows lining the front of the house illuminated the hallway and staircase with rich sunlight from the early morning summer sun. It was going to be a beautiful day.

Coming down the stairway he paused for a moment beside a picture of the kids when they were only about 3 days old. This feeling of peace and happiness made it hard to remember the days when he had been an invader. It was like a different person had lived that life - always angry and confused, oblivious of simple joys that could be found in life.

Padding quietly across the shining wooden floor of the house he entered the kitchen. Dib's back was to him and the kids were sitting in the breakfast nook scribbling on some paper with a bin full of every color of crayon in existence on the table in front of them. Quietly he stepped up behind his mate and wrapped his arms around his waist.

Grinning, Dib turned in the circle of those arms and pressed a quick kiss to Zim's forehead. "Morning sleepy, I was beginning to wonder if you would ever get up."

Resting his face against Dibs chest Zim smiled. "Ya well, you didn’t have to send the mob, stink-beast. Mmm... whatcha makin?"

With a small laugh Dib turned back to the stove. "lesse, I've got eggs, scrambled with red and yellow bell pepper, gouda cheese and spices for everybody. Bacon for me and Michael, and toast for everyone. I had to threaten GIR with cat-box duty to keep him from putting waffle mix in everything though."

"Sounds good" Zim said as he moved over to the nook to see what the kids were drawing, and make sure they hadnt decided the table was a better canvas that the paper.

After breakfast was finished and squirming kids had been tied into their shoes, the small family left the house to enjoy the quiet summer day. The house was set well back on over 20 acres of private land, with no prying neighbours nearby. Because of this Zim didn't need a disguise, and they did not need to try to explain to Seraph why he had to wear one either. It had been a mutual decision that when the kids were old enough they would be home schooled, to avoid trouble with their appearance until they were old enough to understand why they looked different and why they had to keep it secret.

The day was picturesque as they walked through the small woodland area of the property. The sun was bright and warm, birds sang and squirrels dashed through the underbrush. Michael and Seraph ran on ahead of their parents, searching under rocks and branches for anything creepy, gooey or with way to many legs to show each other and try to gross out the adults with.

Taking Zim's hand and swinging it slowly Dib looked over at his lover. "Those two are really great kids you know?"

Zim grinned back at him. "Of course Dib worm, your human genetics didn't fully ruin them"

Grinning wider Dib let go of Zim's hand to sling an arm around his waist and pull him close. "We did so good with these two, we should try for another, don't you think? It would be nice to have a little girl..." he trailed off with a measured glance at his partner.

Zim continued to walk in silence for a moment, stopping when Michael cam running up to him with a shiny white rock and proud expression. "Look what I found Papa!" He cried out shoving the rock in Zim's face.

Grinning Zim inspected the rock. "Hm, yes. Its a very amazing stone." He then grabbed the boy and lifted him into his arms, blowing a breath against his neck. Michael giggled and squirmed at the ticklish sensation, and soon Seraph was pulling on Zim's pant leg wanting attention too. Dib stepped in and picked up the child who snuggled happily into his Daddy's arms.

Clearing his throat Zim bounced Michael lightly in his arms, pulling every ones attention to him for a moment. "You're Dad and I have been talking..." He started and both kids looked at each other and before he could continue burst out "WE DIDN’T DO IT!!!"

Startled Dib and Zim both stopped and looked at them. "Didn’t do what?" Dib asked. Both kids looked uncertain. "Umm, I dunno..." Michael started "We was gonna paint tha kitty, but we di'nt..." Seraph said quietly.

Zim flicked an antennae. "Paint the cat....why would you... never mind. As long as you didn’t actually do it, that’s ok. And for future reference, don't paint the cat. Anyways, as I was saying. You're Dad and I have been talking and... how would you two feel about having another sibling? A younger brother or sister to play with?"

Hearing the question Dib grinned, it kinda figured that Zim had already made up his mind, once he had decided on a course, he pursued it fully. And right now, his course in life was to have a family, and it looked like theirs would be getting bigger soon.

Michael and Seraph looked at each other for a moment, then grinned and reached out slapping their palms together. "Yay!" Michael exclaimed "We wanna baby!" Seraph echoed.

Zim just laughed and met his lover's gaze, Dib leaned closer and gave him a quick kiss, causing the kids to squeal between them. Grinning Dib murmured softly "A sweet little girl, that sounds pretty good."

Zim leaned against him as they continued to walk.

Indeed, life in general sounded good.
