-Brice's POV-

There are three things I'm scared of in this world; big ass spiders, the inevitable death we all face...

And the wrath of Seto Xavier Solace.

I came home from the grocery store to find my furious little husband glaring at me from the kitchen door, arms folded over his swollen stomach, an unamused look on his face.

I gulped, shuffling in and shutting the door, setting the shopping down carefully. I knew I was in trouble. Deep, serious, 'oh shit' kind of trouble.

I had told Seto I would be back for one o' clock, but because the shop had sold out of tea and the weather hated me, the rain caused a lot of traffic, and I may or may not have forgotten to call him.

It was now 2:45pm, and boy was Seto pissed.

"Where were you?" he asked, deadly calm in his voice, his tiny stature so intimidating. I chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Um, the traffic was really bad because of the rain, and I couldn't find your mint tea at the first store, so I had to take the long route to pick up some from another place." I rambled, trying not to make him mad. His hormones were insane at the moment.

My eyes widened as his face suddenly crumpled, loud sobs coming from him as tears poured down from his eyes, and I stumbled forward, enveloping him in my arms as he cried on my shoulder.

Shit on a stick he's going crazy!

Since he his the second trimester in his pregnancy, now four months, his hormones have been out of control!

Not to mention, that ominous threat from Hanson had been stressing him out way to much lately, and it was not good for him or the baby.

I let out a sigh, holding Seto security as I could around his protruding belly as I rocked us, waiting for him to calm down.

After a few sniffles, he looked up at me, eyes wide and shining. I smiled, planting a big wet kiss on his forehead as he giggled, hands playing with the fabric of my shirt.

"You feel better now baby?" I whispered, taking his hand and kissing his knuckles. He smiled sadly and sighed, resting his head on my shoulder tiredly.

"I'm sorry I snapped love, I was just overreacting, and when you told me about going specially to get my tea, I-I..." he trailed off with a slight whimper. I kissed him to stop him from crying again, and put my hand on his bump, caressing it gently.

"Shhh, it's ok Seto, I know you can't help your emotions right now. Our little Spud is making your hormones crazy, it's not your fault baby." I whispered, drying his eyes as I pecked his quivering lips.

He nodded, and I rubbed his belly before sitting him down at the kitchen table and flicked on the kettle.

He needs to destress, so what better than a back massage and a cup of mint tea?

Chase said that mint tea would help stop any nausea, and I wanted my baby to be as relaxed as possible, so a massage would be perfect!

I set the steaming mug in front of him, before standing behind him and slipping his shirt off. He blushed, covering up his front with a slight whine.

I frowned, placing my hands on his shoulders, peering round at him from the side.

"Why are you hiding your gorgeous self from me baby? It's nothing I've not seen before." I asked softly, beginning working into his shoulders slowly, unknotting some of the tension in them. He bit his lip, not meeting my gaze.

"I-I just... don't want you to see how bloated I am." he muttered, moving his arms down to his sides hesitantly.

I could see his soft pale skin was a little discoloured and marked as it stretched over his growing bump, but honestly they made him even more attractive in my mind.

They showed that he was carrying our child, and how strong he was being able to do so.

I nuzzled his hair, kissing his crown as my hands worked down to his lower back, the source of all his pain in the morning.

"You look gorgeous baby. You look amazing with your bump, and you always will look amazing." I muttered into his hair, hearing soft sighs as I continued to massage him.

We were silent for a bit, apart from the little groans from Seto as I worshipped his body. Seto lifted his head slowly, turning to me.

"Do you think we're safe?" he asked quietly, and I paused. I knew he was talking about Hanson.

For a week after the incident, Seto was petrified of going out, barely leaving the flat. He was constantly stressed from the lack of sleep, it got so bad that he started bleeding.

*

"BRICE!!!"

I whipped my head around the bathroom door as fast as I could, paling when I saw Seto on the floor in a foetal position, arms around his stomach.

I raced down next to him, stroking his head, and he looked up at me tearfully.

"B-Brice... my stomach... I-it's hurts..." he whispered, and cried out, clutching his stomach tighter.

I ran a hand through my hair, panic building up inside me. Seto cried out again, and to my horror, a dark red patch was beginning to form at the back of his trousers, my eyes widening at the sight.

"O-oh god, Seto... D-don't move baby, t-there's blood... Oh, oh god..."

*

It was terrifying calling Chase, who arrived minutes later with a panicked Colin and Ty on Seto's demand, frantically checking to see if he and the baby were ok.

*

The door burst open, and Chase ran in, his silver case on one hand, Colin trailing in after with his hold-all.

He crouched next to Seto, snatching the hold-all and ripping it open, pulling out a syringe and another vial of pink potion, and another bottle of clear, slightly blue looking liquid.

Ty raced in soon after, taking one look at Seto, before rushing to my side, grabbing his hand.

Chase uncurled Seto from his ball, and Seto cried out in pain, tears falling steadily down his face. Ty whimpered, squeezing his hand tighter.

"Baby, look at me, look at me Seto. I'm right here, I'm right besides you, I'm not going anywhere my love." I croaked, cupping his cheek, trying to hold in my own tears.

Seto let out a shaky sob, and cringed when Chase inserted the syringe, repeating the test from before with the pink potion. It turned a pale purple, and Chase furrowed his brow. Seto hiccuped, looking up at Ty and I with terrified eyes.

Ty placed his hand timidly on Seto's stomach, rubbing it gently. "It's ok little bro, I'm here too. I won't let anything happen, I promise." he whispered, voice cracking.

I looked up at Chase, who sighed, drawing out a syringe of the blue tinted liquid, injecting it into Seto's forearm.

"It's not serious, just minor bleeding, due to stress on your body. The baby's going to be fine." he muttered, relief flooding his features. Ty gasped and sighed loudly, biting back a strangled cry.

Seto let out a loud sob, and I let my own out, my heart able to beat once again, and I planted a lingering kiss on his forehead.

"It's ok baby, Spuds ok, it's ok..."

*

Thank god everything was ok with our little Spud, or I know we would have all been devastated. Seto would have been absolutely shattered, and I know I would be as well.

My throat closed slightly at the thought of that horrific experience, but I gave Seto a small smile.

"We're safe Seto. I'm here to protect you and Spud, and I know Chase and Colin and the guys will protect you with their lives. Besides, Ty wouldn't let anyone near his godchild without kicking ass. If Hanson did try anything , he wouldn't be able to lay a finger on you, or Spud." I whispered to him, rubbing his bump.

He sighed, snuggling into my chest, resting his hand on mine resting on his stomach. I kissed his temple and glanced over at the clock.

4:20pm. Shit.

I groaned, nudging Seto out of his doze and pointed to the clock. We were meeting Bianca at five for coffee, she had something to tell us, so I hauled myself up, helping Seto stand as well.

It had been a long time, almost a month since we last saw Binky. She, along with her boyfriend Martin, came over to see us after they came back from seeing his family in Bulgaria.

When she found out Seto was pregnant, she screamed so loud I bet even she heard it!

She was hysterical, ecstatic that she was going to be and auntie, and her general fangirling had us all laughing, even Martin, who sounded like and I same person when he laughed.

Well, crazy is as crazy does, and he is dating my sister after all.

I tugged Seto's shirt back over his head, picking up the empty tea cup and taking to back to the kitchen, rinsing it and putting it in the dishwasher.

I grabbed the subs I bought earlier when I was shopping for tea, and walked back to Seto, turning off the lights as we closed the door, heading out.

We were walking to the coffee shop, since the rain had cleared up and Seto said he wanted some fresh air.

I wasn't complaining though - it just gave me an excuse to smuggle him closer to me as we walked. My Seto give the best cuddles, Spud will agree when he/she is born

We were keeping the gender a surprise, then we wouldn't have to stress about clothes and decorations, and keep the room and everything gender neutral.

That's another problem. Finding room for the baby.

The flat was way too small for us two plus a baby, so we had been looking around for houses nearby.

Actually, Martin had told me of a couple to check out, and one had caught my eye. I was seeing about getting it as a surprise for Seto, so swore Martin, or Bodil as I called him, to secrecy.

I have to admit, even though he's quite creepy, and frankly fucking huge, he's a good guy. Don't repeat that.

I fished out the subs I bought from Subway, handing Seto his; tikka chicken on hearty Italian, with lettuce, olives and pickle and BBQ sauce.

His cravings usually involve olives and BBQ sauce, it's kinda quirky.

He squealed happily, taking a huge bite out of the footlomg, moaning at the taste, however gross it was.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled, chewing on my own chicken and bacon ranch.

We ate in silence, rounding the corner to the cafe just as we finished, tossing the wrappers in a nearby bin.

The walk was long, but we were a few minutes early, so went inside finding a cosy booth at the back.

Just as we sat down, a waiter came up to take our order. I immediately didn't like him.

He was eyeing Seto with a predatory, hungry gaze - but I don't think it was food he was after. Bastard.

"Hi, I'm Peter and I will be serving you this afternoon." he chirped with a fake smile. I held back a grimace, giving a polite nod.

Peter glanced over at me with narrowed eyes, then smiled sweetly again at Seto, who was oblivious to the dick.

"So handsome, what can I get you?" he purred, smirking when Seto blushed.

"Um, mint hot chocolate and a chocolate twist, please." he muttered, looking back at his lap sheepishly. He's still super shy after all these years, it's adorable.

The waiter grinned, writing it down, then turned to me with a bored expression. Bitch.

"You?" he asked, and I glared at him, trying to use my Jedi mind tricks and the force to squish his puny head.

"Hazelnut latte and a chocolate twist as well, please." I gritted out, snatching Seto's hand up, trying to push down my anger.

The guy nodded briskly, before flashing Seto a flirty smile and sauntering off without a second glance in my direction. Prick.

I huffed, then looked over to Seto as I felt a light squeeze on my hand. He gave me a curious smile, eyebrow raised.

"What's got you all riled up?" he asked softly, slight confusion on his face. I just shook my head, giving him a dismissive smile.

"Nothing, just waiting sucks." I replied. Ignorance is bliss here, especially with a hormonal, easily wound up Seto. He chuckled, pointing over my shoulder.

"Well, you won't have to wait much longer."

I followed his finger, turning around. I grinned as I saw Binky and Bodil walk in, Bodil with his arm wrapped securely around my sisters shoulders.

Imwaved them over, standing up so my sister could jump on me, giggling as she crushed my rib cage in a hug.

After regaining the ability to breathe, I kissed her cheek, turning to Martin and giving him a handshake, because we are manly men and that what we do.

"How's the house hunting going?" he asked in a low voice, his thick accent potent. I looked over to Seto, who was laughing as Bianca fangirled over his baby bump. I smiled and shook my head.

"Really well actually. One of the ones you showed me looks really promising, and has enough room for the baby and a library/studio. Thanks for that Bodil." I murmured, and he giggled his strange giggle. In a totally manly way of course.

"No problem Brice. Glad I can help you and your little zaīche." he chuckled, clapping my shoulder and going to sit next to my sister, who was laughing along with Seto.

I sat down next to Seto, grabbing his hand and giving it a kiss. I turned to my sister, smiling.

'So, what's up Binky? How've you two been doing?' I signed, grinning. She chuckled, glancing over at Martin with loving eyes. He returned the look, kissing her temple.

'They've been great' she signed, a dreamy look in her eyes. Seto aww'd, sniffling, and I let out a small smile. For a straight couple, they're too cute! Not that I'm biased.

I was about to speak again, when Mr Flirty Sucubus made a reappearance, a tray full of our drinks balanced on his hand.

He shot Seto a lustful look, before it turned stoic as he spotted the bump, Seto's hand resting on it carefully. He set the drinks down with a scowl, taking Minky's order before scurrying off. Yes, I made a ship name for my sister.

"Looks like the little green monster has woken up." Bodil cackled, and I glared at him, biting into my twist savagely, trying to pretend that I was drinking the blood of my latest enemy instead of a delicious, hazelnutty ambrosia.

Char resumed, and I smirked when Martin 'accidentally' spilled his drink on Peter. I think I'm starting to like Bodil a little more.

An hour passed of idle chit chat, ranging from Spud to Bianca's new couch. I waved slightly, grabbing Bianca's attention.

'So, what was it you had to tell me?' I asked, remembering why she had called for this meet up.

Bianca suddenly frowned, lowering her hands to,her lap. A shot of dread ran through me, and I sat up straighter, my heart beating faster.

Bianca took a deep breath, Martin putting a hand on her shoulder reassuringly.

I glanced at Seto, who had a worried look on his face, and scooted closer to me, taking my hand.

He squeezed it tight, just as Bianca looked back up staring me straight in the eye, and I was chilled at he lack of emotion in them.

She raised her hands, and signed something that made my heart stop.

'Brice, our parents want to meet you two.'

0-0 Ermahgerd! Brice parents request a meeting with SetoSolace!! What shiz will go down then?! Btw, Seto's sub is exactly what I order every time at Subway... It's delicious... Don't judge me... Peter the overly douchey waiter at the top. Just because he's a creep doesn't mean he's not hot! Luvs yas all, and thank you for 3.3ishk read and over 150 votes! Bai!! :D
