Carrier: Seth 'Lil Dad' Barkley

1.5k+ words

Sam walked up to the delivery station of Central Knot city when a young man in a porter jumpsuit came out and saw him. Sam raised a brow, the man looked to be in his late teens maybe 20 years old. "Rough day?" the young man asked. Sam looked down at himself to see the dirt on his jumpsuit.

"Yeah" he said giving the young man's middle a quick glance. He noticed the young man seemed to putting on weight which would hinder him. Sam didn't care though he needs to deliver his order. The young man moved aside "See you around?" "Maybe" Sam replied walking through the doorway. Footsteps sound as the young man jogged off.

Sometime later

Sam found himself thinking about the kid he had met back at Central Knot. Did he get out of range of the void out? Is he still around? He got his answer when he got to his private room in Lake Knot city. Deadman appeared via chiral gram to speak to Sam. "Sam, Bridges has a special order for that must be discussed privately."

Sam raised a brow "what special order?" "I'm glad you asked you see, when a bb no longer functions as intended, we dispose of it as you know. Before Central Knot was lost, the president had an idea. What if it's possible to be able to allow a BB to continue growing like a normal baby" Deadman explained.

"It would be more humane" Sam stated "Yes but, there was a problem, we couldn't tank grow the BBs, so instead we have to implant them into a new parent. The first test didn't work out as the BB died. The second test was done on a transgendered patient who's BB didn't survive labor. Thanks to that we realized that we should've been thinking like seahorses" Deadman stated.

"So you implanted a BB into a man?" Sam asked "Not just any man, a young man who became 18 years old before the BB was implanted, with his consent of course. Thankfully he was far enough from Central Knot before the void out." Sam took in what Deadman had said and thought of the young man he saw.

"Is he 5"9", cyan eyes, short dark brown hair?" Sam asked recalling what the young man he saw looked like. "Ah yes, I had thought you had met him before. It's because of his age and gender that he has been nicknamed lil dad. Also he likes wolves as his jumpsuit hood has a wolf design" Deadman told him.

Sam sat down on his bed "So what's the order about?" "About that, lil dad has been kidnapped by MULEs. He managed to send out a few untraceable signals to tell us this. He said he is fine for now but, I would feel better knowing he's safe."

After a while

Sam approached the MULE camp only to find BTs around the place. He didn't see any corpses' nor did a void out happen. He can only guess that the MULEs ran when the BTs came. Logic would say they took lil dad with them but, his gut says the young man is still here.

He sneaked by the BTs and until he came across a cave. He thought back to how he met Fragile and wonder if this is where he'll find lil dad. when he walked into the cave he saw him. The young man had the top of his jumpsuit off. Sam can see the young man's exposed pregnant belly.

He can see the young man looking back at him "It's you" he spoke. "Yeah it's me" Sam replied. "So you're lil dad?" Sam asked as the young man put the rest of his jumpsuit back on, covering his belly "I prefer Seth Barkley, my real name" the young man, Seth told him.

"So Bridges sent you my way huh?" he asked fully clothed. "Deadman said you were kidnapped" "Yeah well they ran off when the BTs came, leaving me behind" Seth told him. Sam raised a brow "Did you see a hooded figure with a gold mask?" he asked hoping Seth hadn't met Higgs.

"Yeah I did, as a matter of fact the BTs arrived after he snapped his fingers. He left shortly after, I don't think he saw me" Seth told him as he put his hood on. Sam can see the wolf design that Deadman mentioned. The young man's odradek sprang up at the same time as Sam's does, they both point to the cave entrance.

Both look to see the man in the golden mask. "A pregnant man, I think I just about seen everything. Sorry to tell you lil dad but, I'll need you to come with me" he snapped his fingers causing the ground to shake and black arms to grab Seth. Despite this the young man kept calm and started Higgs down.

Seth was then dragged away, Higgs blocks off Sam from chasing. Long story short Sam had to fight off a big BT. When Sam looked around, the timefall had stopped like anyways when a big BT is dealt with. He heard his cufflink ring and saw it was Die-hard man "Sam, good work on fending of that BT."

"Yeah but, Higgs took Lil dad" Sam replied. "About that" A new person joined the call "Sam, it's Deadman, Lil dad informed us that he got away but, he didn't say how. For now we know he's safe." Sam raised a brow "So what now?"

That night

Sam found himself on the beach again, with his normal clothes on that he always wear in his private room. He heard footsteps and turned around to see Seth, who was in a tank top and shorts, along with a normal pair of glasses. Sam noticed Seth has a wolf tattoo on his right arm. He also isn't without his pregnant belly which the tank top can't fully cover.

"You can access the beach?" Sam asked standing up. "Thanks to the BB I'm pregnant with, he may be growing but, he's still connected to the other side" Seth told him. Sam looked back down at Seth's belly "what's it like, being a pregnant man?" "It's a pain but, at the same time I find myself grown attached to the little guy" Seth said rubbing his belly.

Now that Sam had a chance to see Seth's belly he had to admit, it does look good on the young man. "Can I?" he reached out his hand much to his own surprise. Seth blinked at him and gave a small smile "go ahead." Sam surprised himself again as he willing rubs his hand across Seth's belly and ends up feeling a kick.

"You felt that?" Seth said patting his belly. Sam pulled his hand back nodding "I was told you had a phobia of sorts, I'm surprised you actually rubbed my belly" Seth said smiling. There we something about his smile that sooths Sam, it made him feel more at ease. A beep is heard causing Sam to look at Seth's left wrist.

He was unsure how he didn't notice the watch that was there "sorry Sam, I have to go. I'll see you again sometime" and just like that Seth was gone. Sam woke up in his private room. Strangely enough, he already misses the young man. He hopes they meet again soon.

A while later

It wouldn't be until two months after Sam left the UCA that he would meet Seth again. They happened to meet by chance in the same safe house. "Hey Sam" Seth greets him as he enters. Sam was surprised to see him again especially since the young man has a slightly bigger belly then the last time he saw him.

"Are you still carrying the same BB?" Sam asked as Seth put his gear down. "No that BB is a baby now and with his dad. I'm carrying two different BBs now" he said taking his jumpsuit off to reveal the tank top and shorts underneath. He sits down next to Sam rubbing his belly which his tank top is barely covering.

"Did you say two?" Sam asked "Yeah, I'm carrying two this time. The beaches are closed off now, the BTs are gone. Because of this, the BBs are being discontinued. So me and other men are having to carry them" Seth said patting his belly with a smile. "Deadman told me you left the UCA along with your BB." Seth said putting of his glasses.

"Yeah and her name is Louise, Lou for short" Sam said hugging Lou close to his chest. Seth smiled at him "that's great Sam really it is. Hey want a feel on my belly? These two are pretty active" Sam looked at Seth's belly and finds himself reaching out his hand and rubbing it, he also a couple of kicks.

Sam finds himself chuckling softly "if you're looking to stay the night I won't mind" he said to the pregnant man. Seth blinks and smiles "I'll like that very much."

(And there it is. I plan to make more death stranding oneshots, that is if I have the motive to do so. Until then I hope you all enjoyed. PEACE!)
