Fred had recently entered the seventh month of his pregnancy. After the whole situation with Dallas and Stryker, Night had kept a close eye on his lover over the months. As his stomach had gotten bigger and bigger over the time, others became more and more aware of him being pregnant. The other students would often be upset with him because of the treatment he gets from the teachers. No matter how hard he tries to explain himself, the others never listened, so Fred just stopped. Fred watched as the other students ran around the gym floor for P.E.. They were playing Hand Ball, Fred's favorite game. The yellow bear sighed as he worked on some homework, wincing when the baby kicked him a little too hard. He placed a hand on his stomach and looked up, flinching when the ball hit him in the face. Fred looked shocked, wiping his nose when he felt liquid drip from it. The gym teacher looked over at him and walked over.
          "Why don't you go take care of that." He said. Fred nodded and picked up his things. As he was walking out of the gym, the ball hit him in the back of the head.
          "Mr. Stickney! That was uncalled for!" He heard the gym teacher yell. Fred sniffled as he walked down to the nurse's office, tears dripping down his face along with blood.
         "I just wanna go home..."

~~~ At Lunch ~~~

Fred pushed his lunch away when he sat at the table, too upset to really eat. He felt his lover's hand touch his shoulder as he came around and sitting at the table as well.
        "What's wrong my love?" Night asked. Fred crossed his arms.
        "I want to go home. In P.E. today, the ball hit me in the face and made my nose bleed. Then when I was walking out of the gym, that asshole Eric hit me with the ball again." Fred hissed, his ears flat.
        "Howdy hey lovelies!" Chickadee beamed, sitting at the table. Fred waved slightly before sinking into his hoodie. Chickadee shot a look to Night, who put a hand up.
         "School troubles and people problems." He said. Chickadee nodded.
         "I see. What happened?" She asked, taking a bite of her pizza.
         "Apparently someone hit him in the face with a ball in P.E. today and made his nose bleed. Then when he was walking out of the gym, an asshole hit him in the back of the head." Night said, wrapping an arm around his lover's waist.
          "Eric?" Chickadee asked.
          "Yeah..." Fred muttered, leaning into Night more. "Why does everyone hate me so much?"
          "I don't know baby... But just ignore them. Don't let them get to you." Night said. He looked down at Fred's tray and frowned. "Aren't you gonna eat, love?" Fred shook his head, put his winter coat on, pulling his hood over his head and standing up, walking out of the cafeteria. Night watched his lover walk away as Damian, Felix, and Terror walk to the table.
         "Where's he going?" Terror asked, sitting next to Chickadee.
         "He's a bit upset at the moment. I think he needs some time to himself." Night said, turning back to his friends.

~~~ After Lunch ~~~

Fred sighed as he walked to his locker. Everyone was staring at him weirdly. Fred pulled his hood farther over his face and got to his locker, where there were such horrible things written everywhere on it.

Slut!

Fag!

Whore!

The list goes on. Tears filled his eyes, but he shook them away.
        'Just ignore them... Don't let them get to you..."' He thought. He opened his locker and everything fell out of it, torn to shreds. His books, his backpack, everything. Fred gasped and dug through his backpack, pulling out several pictures, ripped and torn. A hand touched his shoulder, the figure kneeling beside him. Fred let out a small sob, holding the ultrasound pictures close to him.
          "Fred, it's alright. We'll tell the principle and he'll take care of it." Night said. Fred turned to him.  
          "It doesn't matter Night! They're not gonna stop! They went too far this time. I-I'm done..." He said, anger and sadness together in a deadly mix. He stood, the pictures still pressed to his chest.
         "Fred... I can fix th-" Night began before getting cut off.
         "Night you can't fix this!" Fred snapped. He held up the pictures. "They tore apart practically the most important thing I have about the baby so far!" Night shrunk back some, everyone around the couple shocked at his outburst. Night's breath was caught in his throat, not sure how to respond. He opened his mouth, but Fred stopped him.
         "Just don't. I'm done with everything! I'm done with school! I'm done with the pregnancy! I'm done with life!" He screeched, tears rushing from his eyes. He let out another small sob before he turned and ran away. Night blinked, looking around at all of the shocked faces of the other students. He looked back to see Chickadee, Damian, Terror, and Felix, stunned as well. He looked back at everyone else.
         "I don't know who the fuck did this, but I swear to god. When I find out, you're dead. You hurt him. Worse than what Dallas and Stryker had done to him." Night growled. "The next person who does something that hurts Fred, whether it's physically or emotionally, I don't care if I get suspended or expelled, I will hunt you down and beat the living shit out of you!" Night looked at the shocked and, overall, scared faces of the others, then running off in the direction Fred took off in.

Fred curled up in the bathroom, tears falling off his face and onto the torn ultrasound pictures. The other day he had an appointment. It was that day that he found he was having a boy. These were the only pictures he had of his child so far. And now... They're destroyed. Fred sighed and looked at his baby bump, placing a hand on it. He smiled softly when he kicked.
          "Hi there buddy..." Fred said softly. The baby kicked him again, knowing that something was wrong. "Aww don't worry baby boy. Everything is ok. Mommy and daddy only had a little disagreement, that's all... But no matter what, we both still love you very much..." Fred said, rubbing circles on his stomach. He looked up when he heard the bathroom door open and close, frowning when he seen Night.
        "There you are baby. I was looking everywhere for you." He said. Fred held his gaze and shook his head.
        "I don't want to talk to you right now..." Fred growled. Hurt crossed Night's eyes.
        "Baby..."
        "Don't 'baby' me." Fred snapped. "You're supposed to support me Night. What the hell?"
        "Fred, I did support you. I'm about as upset as you are."
        "You sure have a way of showing it..."
        "Well, what do you expect me to do? I'm trying the best I can!"
        "Well then, I guess you're not trying hard enough!"
        "Fred... I know you've been under a lot of stress lately and the people here aren't helping at all, but I just want to help." Night said softly, kneeling down to him. Fred sighed, tears falling down his cheeks.
       "I'm tired of this Night..." Fred whimpered, latching onto his boyfriend. Night rubbed the pregnant yellow bear's back.
       "I know you are love... But let's get through the rest of today, then we can go home and watch a movie. Whatever you want to do baby." Night said.
       "Fine..." He heard Fred say.

~~~

  Fred sighed as he finished working on some homework in AC. He knows people have been looking at him since his little breakdown after lunch. The smaller male glanced around and put his finished homework back into his binder. He took out the ultrasound pictures again. He looked at each one individually, running his fingertips around his baby's small figure. Fred rubbed his swollen stomach a bit, smiling slightly. A figure stood beside him, shadowing his desk slightly. Fred looked up and at the figure.
         "Oh, hi Tear..." He said softly. Tear, a white fox with a pink accent color, golden eyes with the left iris as a heart, smiled at him and sat at the desk next to his.
         "I heard about your little meltdown at lunch..." She said softly, causing Fred to sigh. "I think it was pretty cool. You should've seen everyone's face after what Nightmare said." Tear giggled slightly, making Fred smile.
         "What did he say?" Fred asked.
         "Oh man was he mad. I had gotten there just in time to hear too, and it was awesome." Tear laughed. "He said that he was gonna beat the living crap out of the next person who hurt you." Fred giggled softly. Tear caught sight of the torn pictures on his desk and grabbed them.
         "What are these?" She asked.
         "Oh those? Those are my ultrasound pictures." Fred said softly, hurt crossing his eyes. Tear looked each picture over, smiling at the sight of the baby, but frowning at the condition of the pictures.
         "They tore the pictures apart, didn't they?" She asked. The final bell rang and everyone grabbed their stuff, filing out of the room.
        "Yeah they did... They tore apart probably the most important thing about the baby." Fred said. He and Tear walked to Fred's locker, where she seen all of the horrible things someone wrote about him.
        "Omg EMT..." She said softly, eyes soaking in all the words. "What the hell?"
  Fred opened up his locker and grabbed his now torn backpack, putting his stuff in it. Tear gave the pictures back.
        "I should go Fred... I have Quiz Bowl practice and I still need to grab an after school snack from the cafeteria." She said. Fred smiled at her.
            "Alright. Night should be coming anytime soon and he promised me cuddles." He said. Tear smiled and giggled softly.
            "Well have fun! And don't worry about anyone. I'll make sure they leave you alone." Tear said, walking off.
            "Thanks Tear! And have fun getting quizzical!" Fred called. The female fox turned to him and gave him a smile and a thumbs up, walking backwards then turning back, running off. Two hands covered Fred's eyes, causing him to giggle.
          "I see you're your old self again, my love..." His lover said behind him. Fred moved Night's hands off his eyes and turned around, wrapping his arms around the older male's neck.
          "I guess you could say that." He said. Night smiled and kissed him softly, wrapping his arms around the smaller male's waist. Fred gladly accepted the kiss. He pulled away when he heard some 'aww's around them. Night smiled at him.
          "Come on... I still owe you cuddles."
          "Damn straight you do." Fred laughed, tugging on Night's hand and dragging him down the hall. The couple walked out of the school and onto the bus.
          "What do you wanna do when we get home." Night asked.
          "Absolutely nothing. Just you, me, blankets, and that fucking couch that you know I love so much. Snacks too. Oh! And Happy Gilmore!" Fred squealed. Night chuckles lowly and rested his chin atop Fred's head.
          "Sounds good to me. Whenever I'm with you, everything is ten times better..."
          "Aww! You're such a big teddy bear!" Fred gushed, pinching his lover's cheek a bit. Night rolled his eyes.
          "All because of you baby." He said. "Love you."
          "Love you too teddy bear."
