"Mrrhh..."

"Get off of me!"

"Come in baby you know you like it."

"No! Get away!"

"Not until I get you to scream..."

"No!....Ah!"

"That's better baby, it might hurt a little."

"Ivan!"

"Haha. There, now how about we go a little further today."

"No....."

"No, No!,NO!" Aphmau thrashed in her and Aaron's bed. Waking him up along with Impact, who was sleeping on the end of the bed.

It had been two months since they had found out she was pregnant. And it was really starting to show.

Her belly had grown about double in size, and even though Garroth joked that she was just fat, something that he earned a slap for. It was very obvious that the baby was on the way.

"Aph! Are you okay?! Aph!?" Aaron tried to calm her down, it was the fourth time this week that she had had nightmares. He hated seeing her like that.

"A-Aaron? Oh, I must have had a nightmare again. Sorry for waking you up..." She dangled her legs off the side of the bed.

"No, it's fine, your hormones are all out of wack from the baby. It's bound to be hard." Aaron replied, sitting beside her.

"You have no idea." She glared at him, warning him to tread lightly.

"No, I don't, and I honestly don't want to." He admitted, laughing at her furious face.

"You're cute when your mad."

This was a mistake, as it earned him a very hard slap in the face.

"Gah, why did you slap me!?" He rubbed his red cheek tenderly.

"I am not cute, I am a respectable woman that wants to be taken seriously!" She yelled, puffing out her chest.

Aaron sniggered, "Y-Yeah, sure."

Aphmau let out an offended scoff, and turned away from him, pouting.

"Are you pouting?" He laughed looking at her sideways. Trying to get her to face him.

"No..." She denied, shuffling her feet.

"Look at me." He said, scooting closer to her.

She avoided his eyes, almost breaking and laughing.

"Look at me..." he made his voice softer, and got closer to her ear. This was very amusing to watch.

"Mmmm..." She struggled to keep her composer, she flexed her fingers.

Almost in a whisper now, and right in top of her. Her caressed the small of her back and whispered.

"Look at me...Please...?"

She shivered at his voice, she was halfway turned around to look at him when she stopped herself.

"I'll make you look at me."

Suddenly she was picked up like a ragdoll and turned around to look at him right in his steel colored eyes.

He started laughing at her flustered and terrified face. And he placed his hands on the bulge that was her stomach.

"Heh, Four months in, Let's hope everything turns out okay." He said, his eyes landing on the scars on her arms.

"We match." He pulled up his sleeve and showed dozens of deep scars.

Aphmau didn't know how she didn't notice them before. Then again, they were hard to see on his tanned skin.

"Where-"

"Did I get them?" He finished for her, "Eh, A few from making armor, a few from ghouls and mutants, a few from Impact as a puppy."

"But, they all show a mistake that we could get up and walk away from. No matter the story behind them. You are here now, and that's all that matters." He leaned back from her, waiting for her response.

" But, I couldn't get up and walk away. If you hadn't found me I would either be dead, or stuck in Ivan's dungeon again." She responded, not looking him in the eye.

"But I did! I did find you, and you're right by my side. As my friend, and my love." He added, his voice cracking.

She heard his voice crack and turned around to see him facing away from her.

"Are you..."

"N-No." He sniffed, he was holding back tears, he actually didn't know why he was crying, he wasn't even the one pregnant!

"You are!"

"Shut up!" He choked up, the full force of all the stress, the baby, Ivan, Aphmau's mood swings. Had finally hit him, he wasn't ready, he never was.

"I'm sorry... Gah, I really should get help for my emotional problems." He had already started to stop crying, the thought that he might be bipolar crossed is mind.

"Um, Are you sure you're a guy?" He laughed, patting his back loosely.

This made him burst out laughing. "Do Not make me prove to you that I am very much a guy!"

At this, Aphmau looked away and blushed. As her mind was wandering to places she shouldn't mention.

"W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked before he realized why she was blushing.

"O-Oh, I d-didn't realize you..." He blushed and stammered, his heart on fire once more.

"No! Uh, That's not...!" She tried desperately to explain that thats not what she meant, but she trailed off in embarrassment.

"I don't mind." He replied, going behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Heh, I've never actually..." He trailed off when he looked into her eyes. And he saw his future with her. And him on one knee.

"A-actually..." Aaron tried to finish his sentence. But he was reeled in once again.

This time it wasn't him who started the kiss, it was her, and he honestly didn't mind. He supported her on top of him with his knee. And he very slowly, almost to ask permission. Slinked his hands up her tank top.

"M-Mmmmh" He heard her relax and he deepened the kiss, pressing himself against her.

Then, she pulled back, she was dizzy. And blushing, her heart was beating way to fast and she was souring way to close to the sun.

"U-uh, I-I, that was... d-different." She said slowly, leaning back from him.

"Aphmau?" Aaron's brows were furrowed.

"Are you, scared of me?" He asked, touching the side of her face. Making her flinch.

"I...no, I'm not scared of you."

That's a lie...

"Aph... your a bad lier." He pulled his hands away from her, feeling hurt.

"I'm not scared of you. I'm scared of you turning on me, I know you wouldn't, you've proved that ,but, I just worry."

"Do I make you uncomfortable?" He asked her again. Looking away.

"What?! No! You... you... you make me feel like nothing can happen to me..." She blushed profusely, also looking away.

"Aphmau, Please don't be scared of me. It breaks my heart to see you like that. That I'm the one hurting you." He caresses her cheek and looks at her.

"You could never hurt me, and you never have." She smiled up at him and he kissed her nose.

"Right, now, let's get some breakfast. I'm starving!"
