Summary: When Pidge confesses to the team that she's a female alpha and explains why she hid her true gender, the team catches on that Pidge isn't the only one covering up her status – they realize Lance is a male omega. They don't want to confront him, because they want him to be comfortable enough to tell them on his own, so the team makes an extra-effort to make Lance feel cherished. What they don't know is that being an omega isn't the only secret he has...

The Kitten's Needs

Epilogue: Home

/25 Years Later – McClain Farm, Varadero, Cuba\

"Okay, let's call it a day, cuñado, and see what mi hermano pequeño cooked for dinner!"

Keith stretched and rolled his shoulders. He was definitely getting old; not that he would say that out loud, because his cheeky omega would probably never stop making fun of him for it. He turned toward said cheeky omega's oldest brother – Gareth McClain. The tall, broad alpha with the goatee and the friendly grin always reminded Keith a lot of Hunk, which was to say it was impossible not to like the guy. Keith offered a tired half-grin and a short nod. It was soon dinner time anyway and Lance was very serious about that; whoever missed family dinner won't get leftovers either. And he'd have to be crazy to miss out on Lance's cooking or, worse yet, cook for himself (the last time Lance had been gone for a weekend to visit his little sister Jennifer, Shiro and Keith had literally blown up the kitchen and only thanks to Gareth did they manage to fix it before Lance got home).

When they had returned to Earth after saving the universe, Lance had been so eager to introduce him and Shiro to his family – and the McClain family had welcomed them warmly. Lance's abuela Eduarda had kissed their cheeks left and right and had smiled warmly at them as she opened her home to them. Her husband Charles McClain had moved to Varadero from Ireland many years ago, to be with the love of his life. When Keith had first seen the way Charles still looked at Eduarda, Keith knew he wanted to look at Shiro and Lance the same way when they would be this old. He also knew he wanted to be surrounded by the same sense of family as Charles and Eduarda.

With Charles and Eduarda lived their two daughters, aunt Melaina and her older sister Eirwen, as well as Eirwen's husband Arturo. Eirwen and Arturo were the parents Lance deserved. They loved him and smothered him the way Keith and Shiro wanted their omega loved and smothered, especially after all they had learned about Bast Beta Tau. Arturo had no own family to speak of, very much like Keith and Shiro, which might just be why the man seemed especially inclined toward the two alphas who made Lance so happy. And due to his own lack of family, while his wife had this warm and welcoming family, he had taken on her last-name when they got married. Something that Keith and Shiro had also done for their omega, with the very same reasoning. Lance's parents, aunt, grandparents and his five siblings wore the name McClain with pride and warmth and after all those years, Keith and Shiro wanted to be a part of such a warm family too.

Sadly, Eduarda and Charles had passed years ago by now. Yet their farm still prevailed. Even with Arturo, Eirwen and Melaina retired and living in the city, the farm was still running smoothly with Shiro, Keith, Lance and Gareth at its head. Lance's younger sister Jennifer was living in California, while the twins Percival and Vivian lived in Varadero but only helped out with the farm if their help was needed, both living their own lives. The oldest McClain, Elaine, was a successful business woman in New York, who only made her way back home for the holidays.

"Hello, kotik. Where's the rest of our family?", whispered Keith as he sneaked up on Lance.

Gareth snorted as he stepped past his younger brother to try what was brewing on the stove. "Mh."

Lance smiled and relaxed into Keith's arms. "Shiro left for the Holts'. You know how overwhelmed Pidge is when her brother asks her to babysit Sammy. And Charlie and Ally are upstairs."

"Are Viv and Percy coming over for dinner today?", asked Gareth curiously while setting the table.

"Don't think so", mused Lance thoughtfully. "But with Percival... you never know. But I am expecting Shiro to be home before dinner, including two of our favorite Holts."

Keith smiled against Lance's neck. They had managed to save Matthew Holt all those years ago and had brought him back to Earth with them. He had a hard time getting used to life on Earth again, but he managed, even as a single dad. It had only been a one-night-stand, but nine months later, Matt had found a bundle of joy on his doorstep. Pidge adored her nephew Sammy, but being alone with the pre-teen was always making her panicky and Shiro always volunteered to help her whenever Matt had to pull double-shifts or something. Not that Shiro minded; he loved being a good godparent and uncle and Samuel Holt really was an adorable little nerd.

Not to mention, it was cute to see Sammy get up to shenanigans with the youngest McClains. Keith's chest swelled at the mere thought of his children. Some might think that Keith's and Shiro's greatest achievement in life was to save the universe with the other paladins. They'd both disagree and correct that Allura Katie McClain and Coran Charles McClain were their greatest achievements. Their pride and joy. Their precious, clever little princess and their shy, adorable little prince.

Leaving the castle behind had been hard for the paladins at first, leaving the Alteans and Hunk behind. Hunk had decided, in the end, to stay on Balmera with Shay. They had two children themselves, Keahi and Malie, the new Red Paladin and the new Yellow Paladin.

Each paladin had taken their own lioness home with them, so they could jump and visit the castle or Balmera whenever they wanted. When their children grew older and started bonding with the lions, their parents were proud. Surprised, but also proud. And while a tiny part of Keith was sad that Krasnaya hadn't bonded with one of his own children, he knew that Keahi loved Krasnaya very much and cared well and deeply for the Red Lion. Keith knew his honorary nephew was a good kid.

"I'll go upstairs and get the kids then", said Keith gently, kissing Lance's cheek softly.

"Yeah, do that. I'll try and defend our dinner from Gareth", replied Lance, swatting at his big brother's hand. "Will you stop that now. You haven't even washed your hands yet."

"Ouch", whined Gareth, shaking his hand. "Keith, your mate is mean to me. Protect me."

"Your own fault", snorted Keith amused as he left the kitchen and the bickering brothers.

He went upstairs and smiled softly to himself when he found their children sprawled out on the floor in Charlie's room, Ally apparently explaining something physics-related to her younger brother. Ally was undeniably Keith's, with her long, black hair and the deep, purple eyes, while Charlie was like a miniature Lance, which was why absolutely no one had been surprised when he bonded with Azul and became the new Blue Paladin. He was much shyer and more soft-spoken than Lance, but at the core, Coran Charles McClain was as tender-hearted, loving and sweet as Lance. And there was no better leader for the new Team Voltron than Ally. She was responsible, serious and a brilliant strategist, who always watched out for her team-mates.

"Kids. Dinner is nearly ready", announced Keith after a moment.

"Is papá back from the Holts yet, dad?", asked Charlie, looking up at Keith with those azure eyes.

"Yes, he is. Sammy and Pidge are downstairs, setting the table with uncle Gareth. How about we go and join them before dinner is getting cold, or the more likely course of Gareth eating it all without us?", suggested Shiro, suddenly right behind Keith, making him smile.

Keith smiled gently as he leaned back against Shiro's broad chest. Charlie giggled at his fathers' display of affection before scrambling off the floor to get downstairs to the former Green Paladin and the new Green Paladin. Sammy Holt was Charlie's best friend and Charlie was always happy when Sammy was over. Especially when Sammy would also bring his aunt Pidge with him. Ally huffed as she also got up and pulled a purple band out of her dress' pocket to tie her long, black hair back. She got onto her tip-toes to kiss her dads' cheeks before passing them.

"You know, we did something really great there", mused Shiro fondly as he watched them go.

Keith laughed at that. "Yes. We made two very great half human quarter Bastet quarter Galra kids."

Shiro grabbed Keith's hand and tugged him along downstairs, where as soon as Shiro stepped through the doorway, he was pulled down into a kiss from Lance, who was all bright smiles.

"Welcome home, honey", grinned the omega, nudging his face against Shiro's.

Shiro looked around the crowded dinner table, listening to the laughter and chat. "Yeah... home."
