You're having my baby.

"WE'RE HAVING A BABY"
a shipping 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...

Elizabeth would be so infatuated with Tamaki. She isn't as young as him, but she's still very naive.

The change of brightness from what now dubbed as portal chamber on the underground fortress of Greenwood to the forest-side farmhouse made Galion blinked several times to adjust his sight. Stepping forward with a bag of the couple's necessities and 'souvenirs', all miniaturized, he remarked, "Our honeymoon lodge." (^^)

To Betsy on his side Galion would ask, "Is this a good time to do a surprise visit to your family?" It is morning around breakfast time, they do packed a breakfast of their own but should Betsy prefers to have her family's usual fare he would not have objection.

((For Julia)

It is merely a message, nothing more, and yet there's something about it that has Barbie hurrying back to the house. Maybe it is nothing, but why then didn't Julia wait?

[thereporter]

She's been pacing back and forth for an hour now. Not waiting on him, no; the first 45 minutes consisted of her swinging between laughing and tears, and the last fifteen composing a text message that communicated the urgency of the situation without it sounding like an emergency. It was urgent, mostly in the sense that neither of them had been expecting this and she had no idea what to do.

They'd talked about it, of course. Julia had brought it up a few times since they left Chester's Mill, but they spent a year on the road figuring things out and fighting past the trauma of what happened to them while getting to know each other in a more sustainable way. They'd only just gotten engaged, though, and on the heels of finding out Dawn was still out there, Julia couldn't help but find herself a wreck in regards to the timing.

Granted, would there ever be a good time for a baby, knowing what they know now?

She hears the door click open and it stalls her steps, turning around to see Barbie hustling through the door. She manages to hold back an onslaught of tears, desperate to not make him worry anymore than he probably was.

"Thanks for coming home so fast," she manages, pushing out an awkward smile.
