YOU'RE HAVING MY BABY

[wrongs]

the "WE'RE HAVING A BABY" meme

Nature is no respecter of persons, my friends. Whether it be childhood friends, newlyweds, or one-night stands, a single decision or accident can change everything, and there will be three people instead of just two.

Congratulations! The characters in these threads and those who reply to them are now expecting babies, no matter what their unique situation may be. Of course, depending on the characters, this might go over like a lead balloon. But wait! Even if the decision to have a baby was made and was consensual, the process is no walk in the park. There is lots to do...and only nine months to do it. Nine potentially drama-filled months.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
• Not all options here are fluffy and happy. Some are potentially angsty or possibly triggering. Tread lightly. Be sure to mention what you want and what you don't want.
• Reply to others.
• For this, male characters can get pregnant because why not.

PROMPTS

• How'd It Happen: What led up to this event? How are you in this situation?


• Realization: There's a wrench in the works...or maybe it was expected, but you're just realizing you're pregnant.


• Positive Reaction: Yes, after all this time and planning! You're finally ready for a family.


• Negative Reaction: Oh, no. This is terrible. You're in no position to take care of a child!


• Freak Outs: But...how? You're a human, she's an alien, how -


• Deciding What to Do: If this wasn't planned, there needs to be a plan of action now.


• Keep it Secret: You're attempting to keep your pregnancy a secret from your partner. This is only a bandaid for the bigger problem.


• Telling Others: The other people in you two's life have to know at some point.


• Drama: No one wanted you to have a kid and the anger is palpable.


• Morning Sickness and More: Everything hurts and the mornings are hell.


• Learning: If you're in a technologically advanced society, you may get to see an ultrasound. Otherwise, there are folk remedies that can be tried.


• Manipulation: One of you is using the prospect of a child to bend the other to their will and make them stay.


• My Body is a Cage: The person carrying the baby is having a decent amount of discomfort, mentally and physically.


• Showing: It's a secret no longer with an expanding stomach.


• Support: The partner who isn't carrying the child should do their best to be there and help out...


• Overprotective: ...but to a degree. Don't act like the partner carrying the child is made of paper.


• Getting Ready: The house or apartment or castle has to be babyproof.


• Heart to Heart: It's time to talk about the big changes before the happen. Where do the two of you stand?


• It's Happening: THE BABY IS COMING.


• Rough Going: Childbirth is still a dangerous affair and there's no smooth sailing for you. So pace if you're lucky, scream in the bed if you're not.


• Bad End: Not all new beginnings last. Sometimes, they become unhappy endings.


• Coming Home: Finally, parents and baby get to settle down.


• Getting Used to This: Well, maybe settle down. There's still crying in the night, feedings to do, diapers to change...

[ooc: Interested in a Loki? Alternatively, it doesn't need to be Loki's child, he could just be around in the absence of a certain brother of his (possibly because Loki's hiding it so Thor doesn't find out). Loki would be such a good brother helping Jane out while Thor's busy doing important things.]

[Looking back, it only makes sense that it's come to this, but somewhere along the way -- among the whirlwind of travel and experience that was their past two years together -- Irisviel forgot the basics of her own biology:

She is compatible with Hei not just sexually, but reproductively.

Only after a week's worth of incurable nausea and a missed menstrual cycle did she recall that fact, and with a test now confirming the pregnancy, all that's left to do is inform the father. Sneaking up behind him where he's seated in the tiny living room of their temporary apartment, she wraps her arms around his shoulders, leaning down to press a kiss to his ear.]

I've made some tea, if you'd like to join me.

RNG says drama

[thesuicideking]

[As Kiriko enters Naomi's place, he can't help but feel somewhat smug- he has an idea as to why she has called him back here. Naomi was one of the medical examiners that answered directly to the FBI, wasn't she? If he has her attention, that meant that the rich, ill men and women that had died 'peacefully in their sleep' over the past few weeks had had their case files come across her desk - he was now directly in the FBI's crosshairs.

Good.

She has no proof to condemn him, he's certain, so he agrees to meet for a short chat. It might be amusing to see what sort of dirt they had dug up on him, to see how far from the truth their assumptions were. Kiriko removes his shoes and takes a step into her home, not bothering to leave his machine at the door. He hoped to convey he expected a short conversation - he had spent much longer here than he had intended, last time. The witch.]

Good afternoon, Doctor.

[There insincerity in his words. In spite of his sense of accomplishment, he isn't happy to see her. He hates this woman- hates her talent, her 'magic powers', her self-confidence. How she seemed to advertise how extraordinarily young she looked for her age while Kiriko continued to rot away like the undead.]

{ ooc: Angst or fluff is fine! For the actual conception for m/f I'm very interested in having it where it all stemmed from a one night stand or a casual hook-up type deal; feel free to pm or plot here if you have questions c:

m/m interactions are fine so long as it's not mpreg! So just friends hanging out talking about what's going on with the pregnancy is fine!
