True Love Between Mortal Enemies

Trust Of The Forest

Two years later...

"Karrabast! I hate the stomach flu!" I said, leaning back against the tub of our Lira San home after throwing up again.

"We should take you to see the doctor!" Zeb said, walking into the bathroom with me.

"Why?" I asked.

"You've been throwing up for about a week now, I'm worried!" He said, helping me to my feet.

"Ok! Fine!" I said, trying not to barf again.

                                ***

"What's going on today?" Zia asked when she walked into the room. She was the local doctor as it turned out when we showed up to her office in the village, but she was an amazing doctor as it turned out.

"Well, Alex hasn't been feeling well this past week or so!" Zeb replied, standing by my side while I sat on the bed, my winter coat folded over his arms with his own.

"Ok, I want take a blood test to see if that shows anything!" She said.

"Ok!" I said, feeling nauseous again.

                               ***

"So, the blood test show anything?" Zeb asked when Zia walked back into the room.

"Actually yes! Alex here is pregnant!" She said.

"What? How's that possible? He's a man!" Zeb said.

"Well, as it turns out, there is a type of gene in human males that allows them to get pregnant in same sex couples and a uterus can develop when they enter puberty or later in life, and as it turns out, Alex has the gene and about the developing uterus, he's definitely the latter! Plus, with Lasats being so fertile, you managed to get him pregnant!" Zia said.

"Karrabast!" Zeb said before dropping to the floor after passing out.

"Zeb!" I called, kneeling beside him.

"That's normal for First time fathers!" Zia said, looking over Zeb.

                                ***

"Sorry about what happened back there Alex!" Zeb said, blushing as we left the Doctor's office while I helped steady him so he didn't fall again.

"That's ok Zeb! Plus, Zia said it was completely normal for a first time father to faint when they hear they're going to be a father!" I said, smiling.

"Well, I was always hoping for a kit, but now that it's actually happening, and with the man that I love no less, I'm feeling a bit nauseous!" He said, looking a little sick.

"Are you ok Uncle Zeb?" Cari asked, running up to us and latching onto her Uncle's leg.

"Yeah, I'm fine!" He said.

"You're a terrible liar Zeb!" Tara said while she and Trea walked up behind her.

"I know!" Zeb replied, slumping a bit.

"So what happened?" Trea asked.

"Nothing!" Zeb replied quickly.

"He fainting after finding out that, thanks to a special gene I have, I'm pregnant with his baby!" I said.

"Congratulations!" Trea said, pulling me into a hug.

"Thanks Trea!" I said when she finally put me back on the ground.

"What does that mean?" Cari asked.

"Well, it just means that I'm having Uncle Zeb's baby!" I said, kneeling down beside her.
