Chapter Text
"Ow! Ludwig, stop pulling my hair!" Bowser said, trying to get his 1 year old son to let go of his hair. Ludwig giggled as he continued to pull on Bowser's hair.
"Alright, Lulu. Let's stop hurting daddy." Clawdia said as she gently pulled Bowser's hair out of Ludwig's hand. She then took Ludwig from Bowser and gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him smile.
"How the heck is he so strong?" Bowser asked, rubbing his head.
"I guess he gets it from you." Clawdia chuckled.
"He's so adorable! I can't wait for our baby to hatch soon!" Clawdeen, Bowser's little sister, sighed happily as she rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.
"Yeah. I can't believe we're having a kid soon." Langston replied.
"And now Ludwig will have a sibling and a cousin to play with!" Clawdia smiled, looking at their own egg in the incubator.
"They'll be so close. I can't wait!" Clawdeen giggled.
Langston said goodbye and left the castle an hour later. As he walked home, he smiled as he thought about Clawdeen and their child. He was still a little nervous about being a father, but he was also excited to have a kid. While walking, Langston passed by a jewelry store. He stopped and walked back, looking through the glass. He saw some necklaces, watches, and rings.
"Wow!" Langston said. As he looked around, his eyes landed on a diamond ring.
"That's pretty. I bet Clawdeen would love it." Langston blushed after saying that.
"Wait. What if...What if Clawdeen and I got married? I mean, Bowser and Clawdia are married. Plus, I have thought about marrying Clawdeen before."He thought.
Langston sighed and walked away from the jewelry store.
"I should probably think it over more."
Weeks went by and Langston continued to think about proposing. During that time, Bowser's and Clawdia's egg hatched. They had another boy, this one with multi-colored hair. Bowser and Clawdia decided to name him Lemuel, but call him Lemmy. Clawdeen smiled as she held Lemmy in her arms.
"He's so cute! I can't wait for our baby to be here!" Clawdeen said.
"Any day now." Langston replied.
"You two will be amazing parents." Clawdia smiled.
"Yeah, we will." Clawdeen smiled back.
Langston watched as Clawdeen played with Lemmy and rocked him. Seeing her like this made his heart melt.
"Yeah. I wanna marry her."
Two weeks later, Langston was making his way to the castle with a huge grin on his face. His parents helped him buy an engagement ring for Clawdeen, the exact one he saw weeks ago! He couldn't wait to see her reaction! As he made his wait to the entrance, Clawdeen opened the doors.
"Langston! Thank goodness you're here!" Clawdeen exclaimed. She grabbed his hand and ran back inside.
"Clawdeen? What's going on?" He asked.
"The egg is hatching!" She replied.
"Really? Now?" Langston gasped.
The two ran to Clawdeen's room where Bowser and Clawdia were watching the egg. As soon as they walked in, another crack appeared on the egg.
"Wow! I can't believe it's finally happening!" Langston grinned.
As they stared at the egg, a hand popped out, making Clawdeen squeal. Then, a foot. Soon, everyone gasped when they saw a baby boy pop out of the egg. The baby had green hair and a red shell like Langston. After staring at the baby for a second, Clawdeen and Langston cleaned him up and wrapped the baby in a blanket.
"Oh wow! He's adorable!" Clawdeen said, tears forming in her eyes.
"Yeah, he is." Langston replied.
"What's his name?" Bowser asked.
"Austin." Langston and Clawdeen said in unison.
"Aww that's a nice name!" Clawdia replied.
As Clawdeen gave Austin a kiss on the forehead, Langston thought this was the perfect time to ask her.
"Oh! I have something for you, Clawdeen." He said.
"Really? What is it?" She asked.
Clawdeen and the others watched as Langston pulled out a small white box. Clawdeen and Clawdia gasped when he opened the box, showing her the diamond ring inside.
"Clawdeen Koopa, will you-"
"Yes Langston! I will marry you!" Clawdeen exclaimed.
"Sis! You didn't even let him finish!" Bowser laughed.
"It's fine." Langston chuckled. He walked closer to Clawdeen and put the ring on her finger. Clawdeen smiled and kissed him.
"I love you so much! I can't wait to be married." Clawdeen smiled.
"I love you too. And me neither." Langston said. Austin giggled, making the couple smile more.
