Our little family

[picturethat]

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...

[Both Greed 1.0 and Greedling are available, though if you aren’t familiar with Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood canon, you should check my permissions or kinklist for an important note on Greedling if you want to do something sexy and/or romantic with that version of Greed. I like doing sexy and/or romantic things with both versions but I think that, if you want to do that kind of stuff with Greedling, you should know what you’re getting into first.]

Steve Rogers | MCU

[wearier]

[ I just think he’d be a great father ;_; ]

[redactions]

[ He's been deep in thought on his place on the sofa all day. James pokes his out of the kitchen from time to time to check up on him — every time, Steve hasn't moved, the book is still open on his lap. A parenting book, for Pete's sake. The only thing that could make this worse would be a list of baby names, but that might not be so bad. ]

Hey. Bread'll be done in ten minutes.

[ He has one of those nice ovens, and it's a quick fix recipe. This wasn't the plan for the day. James sits down on the couch next to Steve. Enough to be comfortably invasive. His arm drapes in Steve's direction, and flicks his shoulder. ]

Should I start readin' those too?

Obvious incest warnings >>

[valiantdragon]

Rhaegar might be king of the seven kingdoms now, but even kings can spoil their children. And he likes to let his sister/wife/queen rest when she can, even if it means less sleep for himself.

Besides...their daughter seems to enjoy his singing, and it helps calm her fussing. It's no longer a rare sight in the Keep for servants to see their king carrying the little princess and singing silly little songs to her.

But no matter what time of night it is, or day, he knows his beloved can find him anywhere. And, of course, that's with their dragons, who are just as protective as Rhaegar and Daenerys of the baby. In their own way.

[soullessalex]

You're kiddin' right? [ Alex doesn't know what to say, or which bit of how fucking bad this situation is to address first. He couldn't be a father - not when he only had six years of his life left before the hellhounds came for him. Besides, Haley is Dean's girl and if Dean finds out . . . then they're both fucked. Well and truly fucked.

What Alex thought was a one-time, drunk mistake was now turning out to be something so much bigger. And he hated it. ]

Well -- you can't keep it, can you? You're not going to?

Colin Stormfinder | Werewolf: The Apocalypse

[stormfinder]

[Definitely not biologically his, but there's a veriety of ways in which he could be dragged into co-parenting or taking on someone's unborn child as his responsibility. Dating him (ota) is one option, being packmates, somehow somehow circumstances... He's a bit of a mother hen, though he's not very socially capable.

Available in mid-30ies and late teens.]

[ A rare WtA muse! Colleen here ended up getting pregnant with magical destiny twins in the LARP I made her for. We could do something with that. ]
