Baby bumpP1Jake was fronting when they got back to the flat. Soft light filled the room. It was bright enough for his sensitive eyes.(Thank god.)Jake had to agree with Marc. It had taken them two months to get the bloody thing back where it belonged. He could have some time off with y/n. She wasn't doing too good when he left. Though she did have a secret smile on her face.(What's that on Gus's tank.)Of course they brought Gus with them when they moved. Steven must have seen the paper strip on the tank. Jake goes over and his jaw stops.(Is that....)(Y/n is pregnant? Why didn't she say anything?)Jakes hand is shaking as he takes the ultrasound photos from the tank. Looking at them not believing what he's seeing."Dios mio."Holding onto the photos he goes over to the bedroom and cracks open the door. She is asleep and the blanket shes under fits her form perfectly. Showcasing the small bump holding their child. Jake kneels by the bed, seeing that she was sleeping on his side of the bed,Jake had a smile on his face as he moves over to her. Pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. She makes a face and turns. Curling in on herself. Her hand reaching out."I got you mi amor. You're safe." Her face smooths out. She shifts again. A light shiver moving across her body. Jake pulls a thicker blanket over her.Y/n feels herself move and wakes a bit."Babe?""I'm here mi amor. You rest. Both of you." She feels him place a soft kiss on her forehead. When she feels him settle she presses up against him. Happy for the touch."I missed you." Her voice is light. She turns onto her back and takes his hand. Placing it on the tiny bump."We did this.""We did. All of us.""Mi amor; how are you this calm over it? Over us?""It was just my father and I growing up. Only it wasn't just him. But the four of him." Jakes eyes go to her face. He can hear the other two talking in his head."You mean?""Doomsday preparer, mma fighter, and a professor of ancient cultures." Y/n held up a finger for each profession. "He mostly hung in the back letting them raise me. Every once in a while he would front if just to comfort me when I was upset. Said he didn't want to see his little one cry." She has a small smile on her face when Jake starts to rub her stomach."That's how you figured it out. You already knew what to look for.""I did." She moves her head closer to his chest. Nuzzling the skin below it."Steven has off tomorrow. Rest.""We both earned it."•"Boys?""Yes love?""My father is going to be in England for a tourney next weekend. Do you think that the three of you would be up to meet them?"Steven looks up while Marc and Jake both talk about it. Eventually he looks over to the small mirror on the fridge. Both men give him a nod."Is there anyone you would like to take control for this?""I leave that up to you three." Marc asks for control for a few moments."Sweetheart, what happened?""My ex. That's happened." Marc goes over and gives her a hug. Pressing a kiss to her forehead."Is that why you gave us a false name when we met?""Yeah. He's locked up. Plus I know if push comes to shove." She leaves the sentence open. Knowing what she was referring to."If you don't mind me asking, didn't he teach you how to fight?""It's different when your in that kind of relationship." Marc clammed up. Nodding."When is his match amor?""That Saturday. He's coming into town on Friday.""And there names?""The mma fighter is papa max, the history buff is George and doom and gloom is Sarge." She paused to look at him. "Is Marc going to be ok with that?""If need be we can switch as needed.""Ok. I'm sorry. It didn't cross my mind. Till now." He comes over and kisses her forehead."What have we missed the last two months? Aside from the baby bump?" Marc is in control. Loving the smile on y/ns face."Heartburn and morning sickness. Mrs Modnar came over to check up on me a few times." Steven was chuckling at that."Steven says that she's good like that.""She's a smart one that's for sure. Gave me some tips on how to deal with the morning sickness. Did you know that she use to be a midwife?""No. I didn't think that was still a thing.""She was very helpful. Even offered to baby sit when they get born.""Is that going to be a thing.•They make there way over to the ring and y/n is holding a rolled up sign. They make there way over to there seats along side a bunch of others. Jake has his hand firmly wrapped around her waist. Keeping close to her. Making sure that she and the bean are both protected."Ring side huh?" One of the announcers comes over and strikes up a convo with her."Yeah. Family friend hooked my husband and I up with the tickets.""Who do you think is going to win?""Mad max. Easily.""He's been struggling lately. But why do you say that?""Because his kid is here to cheer him on.""Wait, so your the one he keeps talking about?""Yup.""Hey John. Let's get to the table.""I'll be right over Chuck." He turns to y/n. "It's been nice talking to you."The match starts and everyone gets to there seats. The announcer starts the match between 'mad'Max and Hogtie.Max takes a quick look around the ring. His eyes landing on his daughter. He waved and he sees the ring on her finger when she waves with her left hand wrapped around a man's. Max gives them a nod as the match begins.~Y/n smiled and held up the sign she had made. Just as Max went to the side of the cage. His eyes going wide. Y/n nodded and held up two fingers on each hand. Max had a huge smile on his face as he moved away from the sides of the cage. Bouncing on his feet focus turning back to the match.•Y/n and Jake were waiting for him in the lobby. He had a grin on his face."Do you think he would be willing to train me?" That made y/n laugh. A smile on her face."He did teach me everything I know. I just hate fighting.""Bumble bee!" Jake saw the smile on her face grow wider. Turning as the other man jogged over."You did great Papa Max!""Well, I couldn't disappoint my girl now could I. Or my grand kid." Max gives her a light hug."Come on. Dinner is on me."•"You do know that the other three are going to want to talk right?""I know. I just hope that everyone goes easy on them.""You told her everything?" Max is looking at Jake."Yes sir. The three of us have no secrets from her." Max goes to take a sip of water only to pause and look at his left hand. His eyes darts over to y/ns left hand."Little one?""Hey dad, didn't think you would show.""When did you two get married?""Three years ago. We've known one another for six years.""When did you decide?" Jake looks over to y/n. She gave him a nod."I had gotten hurt. Badly hurt. If it wasn't for her know how we wouldn't be here." Jake sees the other man nod."Good. We all saw the sign by the way. Second trimester?""Yeah.""I still have George's notes at the house. You or maybe one of the others might want to take a look. I don't want our mistakes to be repeated." He goes to rub his temple. Y/n stiffens a little. Eyes darting around."What's wrong?" Jake can tell by her voice that she's scared. Something that he never wants to hear again."It's better if I let Sarge explain.""Not here. If he is getting involved then it can't be good." Jake throws his arm around her and pulls her to his side closer."Fair point. When we're done why don't we go to my hotel room and talk there. Jake, you and the others are more than welcome to come with. In fact I insist on it."•Y/n is close to Jake. Close enough that the man in question can feel her shake. Jake is doing the best he can to comfort her."I'm sorry Hummingbird. I never should have said that." Jake is looking at Sarge."It was fifteen years ago.""I know. I can't apologize enough.""I get that you were mad. But why did you say it? I still have nightmares about it."Y/n is ignoring the tears running down her face."Dove? Do you want to head out?" Steve is fronting now. When y/n shakes her head he turns and pulls her to his chest. Sarge is watching and his heart hurts a bit."Let him get it out." Jake returns and looks the man across from him in the eye. His work face in place.Sarge took a deep breath. He could do this. Rip the bandage off. Do it quick."I, we, found a letter from her. Dated the day that she went missing. There were two. One for us another for you. The contents of both...even I couldn't wrap my head around the filth that she wrote.""That's...oddly impressive. I'm guessing that you burned them?"Sarge shakes his head."No. I didn't. You should at least read yours." Sarge hands the letter to Jake. "I, we, have been fallowing your work hummingbird. We are all proud of you and the work you have done. Very proud." Sarge has a smile on his face. Both he and Y/n stands and hugs.The boys see a smile on her face that said everything was ok now. Marc slips in the drivers seat for the rest of if."You know bumble bee," papa Max pulls back and gives a small cough. "George is going to want to know all the details.""And I can derail that entire bloody convo with one word there papa.""That's my bumble bee. Always two steps ahead." Papa Max gives her another hug."We really are proud of you. You have no idea. If you never read the letter then so be it."•Steven is fretting over her as they get ready to head out to meet the last of her fathers headmates. She smiles and puts a hand to his face."Love. Your stressing. Breath. It will go fine. I plan on wearing a sweater anyway. I will be fine.""I know. I'm just nervous love. I want you to be safe. All of us do.""I know love. Papa Max is already impressed with Jake. And Sarge respects all three of you. I know George. You two will get along. Trust me on this."•Y/n was making a bet with herself. Sure enough George was reading one of his history books."Hey Professor." George looks up from his book and smiles from behind his reading glasses. Smiling as he stands."Dove. It is so good to see you again. Come give your father a hug." Steven let's go of her hand so she can step forward and give the other man a hug."This is Steven." She speaks when she pulls away. Steven steps forward. Taking the other man's hand."Sir." George gives him a nod."I hope the three of you are taking care of our daughter.""If anything she's the one taking care of me and my anxieties." In a move that made y/ns jaw drops George full on laughs."Please. Let's sit and continue this conversation. The standard who, and where."They all sit and start the conversation. Steve explains his side of things. Y/n adding details every so often.•Steven looks over to her. She has her eyes closed and her cheeks are looking a little rosy."Dove? Are you ok?""Yeah, I'm ok love. Little drained is all." She looks at her watch as the me. Look at their phones. George chuckles. Smiling at his daughter."We have been here for ever Al hours. I'm surprised that staff hasn't tried to kick us out.""It's because I'm a regular." She covers her yawn and moves to stretch."You always did enjoy places like this. Steven, it has been a pleasure. I hope one day in the future we can continue this conversation.""I would like that as well. Until next time."They walk home and Steven has his arm wrapped around her. Keeping them close."You could have said something dove.""When you have that spark in your eye? I wasn't about to interrupt that. It's so rare that I see you like that." The two of them share a look. She's looking at him with stars in her eyes. He has a non extinguishable look in his. He presses a kiss to her cheek as they head home.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Baby bump 2The boys smelled something wonderful as they entered. Late, sore from Donna being a git. Y/n had given them the idea of wearing earbuds so that way whoever fronted could easily converse with the others. All of them agreeing that Donna was begining to push things."Dove?""In the kitchen Steven. Hungry?" Y/n had been craving something specific. So she found a recipe that catered to everyone's dietary needs. Kosher and vegan."Very, what ever it is smells good." Steven goes over to her and presses a kiss on her cheek before placing a hand on her stomach."Have you been good for your mum you little trouble maker?" None of the boys expected to feel something press up against his hand."Not overly." She sighs as she looks at them. "Ended up having to wash the bedding because they chose to use my bladder as a kicking bag. Little bugger." She half expects him to say something about her language. But he's frozen."Love, is everything ok?""Yeah, it's just..." Steven smiles and stands. "When they pressed against my hand." He shakes his head. "It made it all the more real you know."She gives him a kiss on the nose."I think I do."•She's putting the left overs away as Steven takes care of the dishes. She gives a small whimper placing a hand on her baby bump."Y/n, you alright?""Hard kick. Or punch. Ow.""Go lay down then. I'll be over once I finish up here.""Thanks Marc."Soon enough Marc makes his way over and kneels next to her as she lays on the couch. Placing a light hand on her stomach. Rubbing it. Marc is being gentle about it. A softness in his eyes that surprises her."Hey, jelly bean, you need to ease up with kicking your mama. She's trying to take care of both of you. You're making it a bit hard too." He smiles as something pressed against his hand."That's a good jelly bean." He presses a kiss onto the spot where his hand rested."Thank you Marc." She's smiling at him as he stands. Leaning down to give her a kiss."It's the least any of us can do. Steven would be a nervous wreck and Jake doesn't know how to handle it." He shrugs. "Is there anything we can do for you?""No. You calmed them down for me. That's more than enough."•Y/n felt tiny kisses on her stomach. A hand slowly rubbing across it. Making her hum lightly under her breath. Shifting towards the warm body next to her."I'm sorry mi amor, did I wake you""No. If anyting tit was sooming." Jake had to smile at that. Holding back a chuckle at her mumbled half intelligent words."Go back to sleep mi amor. I'm just soothing nuestro pequeño frijol. Not even born yet and they are already a fighter. Como su padre." Jake didn't realize that y/n had fallen asleep as he spoke. Jake lays his head on her chest. Looking at her swollen belly."Sé que no puedes oírme completamente. O entiéndeme. Estás a salvo, frijolito. tus padres y yo nos aseguraremos de eso. ahora cálmate. Has estado poniendo a tu madre a prueba últimamente. tanto que estoy preocupado por ella. Deja que ella cuide de los dos. mientras los tres ayudamos a cuidarla."Jake still has a smile on his face when he closes his eyes. Happy to be near the loves of his life.•The warm cloth over her felt amazing. As did the warm water around her. The candle on the closed lid of the toilet swirling scents in the air. Soft music filled the air. Her boobs were beginning to hurt.Full on growling greeted the boys as they come back. The pair not fronting looked at one another as they heard splashing.Jake fronts and opens the bathroom door. He blinks and closes the door. Blinking as Marc and Steven both break out laughing. They end up fading into the back ground."Will one of you wankers help get me out of here! I'm stuck!"Jake loses it. He joins his head mates. Laughing."Not Funny!"He tries to keep it together. Opening the door before he loses it again.He hears her mumbling something about a hippo."Come on mi amor. Let's get you out of there.""Finally. Don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to soak the pain away." Jake gets a towel around her as soon as she's out."Sorry amor. How are things?""My chest hurts." She's mumbling. She throws on a dress and settles on the couch."Next time you're the one who's pregnant. Bloody git.""Easy love. We won't ask you to do this again.""I say this now but I think thing will change when hold her the first time.""When is your next appointment?""Next Thursday. Steven has off. That day.""Is there anything we can do for you love?""Figure out how to stop my fucking tits from hurting and I will be worshiping you like a god." She grumbles as she pokes at her stomach lightly."That's enough of that love." Marc takes her hand and kisses it. "Tell me about your day. I'll take care of dinner. If you want to wait a few minuets I can bring something over to help with your chest. Ok?""Thank you Marc. All three of you are blessings." He gives her a kiss on the forehead.They are all thankful that her emotions haven't gotten too out of hand. No screaming arguments. But she has done the random crying thing. Jake of all people had to hold her back from getting into a fight because people kept wanting to rub her belly. All parties agreed to put her under house arrest unless it's for appointments.•Everyone is a nervous wreck. The pair are holding hands as the tech runs the wand over the jell and her stomach. Frowning slightly."Tricky little bugger ain't ya?" The tech sighs. "I can't get a good enough look. They keep crossing their legs." Y/n sighs. Thankful that was the only thing wrong."It's a girl then. I did the exact same thing according to papa."
