At the sight of the little shuttle, the Master Builder sighed with relief. She knew how much Benny cared about the little kid, considering, well, the kid was his. As she looked down at Cadet, the woman couldn’t help but smile. Usually babies weren’t her thing, but she had to admit that Cadet was adorable. Plus, she did promise Benny that she’d help protect her.
Her attention shifted back to the spaceman when he spoke. “Wait, like, you want me to help you find someone who can make them for you?” That was what he meant, right? “I could try, maybe if I asked around…?”
"No.." Benny was still looking down at Cadet. Everything he was about to do now, was for her safety. "Pa— I have someone who knows where to get them. I need— It would be easier to get the papers if someone were to pretend to be her other parent.. see?"
He couldn’t tell her why Cadet’s real, other parent, couldn’t— wouldn’t do it. Not yet. He’d put that off for as long as he could. Which probably wouldn’t be for long. He knew Wyldstyle was smart, and she’d start to wonder why Pa Cop was helping them when they met up with him.
It didn't take long for Wyldstyle to piece together what Benny meant. And she couldn't believe it.
"You want me to pose as Cadet's mother!?" Her eyes were wide with shock, her expression seeming to accuse the astronaut of being crazy. "You're asking me, of all the people you know..."
The Master Builder's gaze shifted from Benny, who clearly wasn't looking at her, to Cadet. Wyldstyle knew she promised to protect the kid, but to raise her as a fake mother? At this point, she had enough problems with pulling her own life together. How was she supposed to know how to take care of Cadet in addition to trying to find a place to live, among so much more?
She was silent for a while, letting it all sink in before she exhaled any negative feelings that she had about this. "Okay, I'll do it. If it'll keep Cadet safe from Octan and protect the other parent until they can come out of hiding, then..."
Wyldstyle looked at Benny again. This was honestly the first time in a while she had ever seen him so concerned about anything. If nothing else, she'd go through with this for him. "Fine."
