We're Having a Baby

We're Having a Baby

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:

Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences.
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.
Wanna m-preg? Go for it. Why the hell not?
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!

Use the RNG to help you pick or choose on your own!

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 A 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 glass.
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...
WILDCARD: Not interested in any of the options or have an idea of your own? Do your own thing; you do you!

Dara knew — knew — that drinking with Stiles on the eclipse was a stupid idea. Why she'd indulged, she still can't figure out, but she did and things got a little out of hand. One time thing. Never happening again. And she'd threatened to rip his throat out with her teeth if he felt so inclined to tell anyone about it.

And then came the missed period. She chalked it up to stress because hey, that happens sometimes. Except it hadn't ever happened to her because she'd been living in perpetual stress for over a decade and her body was just...used to that. The test a couple weeks after she'd been due hammered the final nail in the coffin.

So she shoots off a text.
