A new little family

[nocrosspost]

the "Starting a Family" 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...

[If you're willing to play with this hero here... Would you be in the mood for anything specific? I can kind of work with a lot here. Perhaps keeping something within the canon rather than going full au? Except of course that little part where Nyx would actually not die and all that. But I'm flexible.]

[luxoraculi]

[ Oh man, I'm totally down for that! I'm good with literally any of the prompts, which one looks like the most fun to you? Also yes, a living Nyx Ulric is the best Nyx Ulric <3 ]

[warphero]

[ They're indeed all appealing, it's hard to pick. But maybe we can start out with finding out? That's always a fun moment. Have it be an unexpected surprise?

Maybe Nyx lived and accompanied her to Altissia (yay romantic city?) and while waiting for the guys to show up there, they find out? ]

[The one getting pregnant!]

[so, how do you feel like some kind of, say, endangered species dating program that these two clicked in and then they went from there?]

[spinayarne]

[I feel like I really want that! So let's do it!]

[whereswalder]

[Which of the scenarios are you most up for and how far in do you want to be? I'm game for whatever (and starting the post ofc)!]

WHAT'S GOOOOOOD

[anteojos]

[Ignis knew, even before Noctis' symptoms were too obvious to hide. He suspected it, nothing but a gut feeling, but he could tell something was happening. And how could he not? After what had happened some nights ago between them.

He asked Noctis out, one night after several weeks without some time alone. What happened... Ignis couldn't blame it on anyone but himself, though. After their roadtrip had begun, what time they had for themselves was little, if anything. And of course one thing led to another: an embrace, a kiss, another kiss, and soon they were consuming their love as they haven't had the chance for in days.

Lately, though, Ignis realized how unappetizing Noct had been acting. Even when he had made himself sure to cook his favorite dishes. Not to mention that day he found out he had been throwing up. Definitely not a pretty sight. Therefore, it was only but his job to finally gather himself and ask him what was happening. Ignis knew Noctis wouldn't hide anything for him. And as soon as the time was right (namely: he assigned both Prompto and Gladio some tasks to do away from the camp) Ignis dropped the question:]

Noct... please, tell me, what's happening?

MR. DUBOIS

[starless_sky]

<sub>[Maybe Ignis could smell it on him. Noctis certainly felt different than he had. He's been sick, achey, unable to sleep, and certainly more picky about food. He barely eats unless it's sweets or cup noodles. He knew a few days after their night under the stars that he felt different. He knew in the back of his mind he was pregnant but like so many other unpleasant things he pushed that away. He didn't want to think about it but here he was throwing up at camp. Again. Prompto and Gladio were getting him something to ease his stomach but he knew it wouldn't work.

Why did Ignis have to ask now... Why did this have to happen... Why can't he just be well? He's emptied the contents of his stomach over the edge of the haven and he crawls into the tent to rest. He's worn out, feverish, and shaking. But then Ignis has to ask the obvious. Wasn't it clear!?]</sub>

I'm throwing up. I'm going to try to sleep... _{[he put a hand to his flat belly]} You know what's happening to me...
