Aight so a couple people asked for a part two of the last chapter so of course I am delivering :) Fluff replaces the angst here and I have already promised happy chapters so the angst will go on vacation lol. Anyways, here you guys go!

1985

It had been several months since the miscarriage. You and Freddie had slowly gotten over it, it hurt the two of you on an indescribable level, but you helped one another with your grief and got through it.

It got easier with each new day, though the pain would always be there. However, you had a feeling that pain would either cease or grow with what had newly transpired.

Sex had been a foreign topic for the two of you. You put the blame on yourself for the pregnancy gone wrong last time, though Freddie had helped ease the pain for you as you did for him. You slowly gained the bravery to revisit that intimacy, though it was always with protection as neither of you were ready for another baby attempt yet. The hurt was still too near.

A week ago though, that changed. A sudden courage sparked within you and you meekly asked Freddie if you could do it without safety.

"A-Are you sure?" He asked thinly, clearly thinking of what happened before as you were too. 

"I-I am...but if you don't feel comfortable with that then we don't have to." You said quickly, not wanting to force him into doing something that he wasn't okay with.

 You were scared of doing it that way, obviously he was too, but you felt strong enough to take the risk.

"N-No...W-We can do it this way."

And so you did. But then of course, what you were afraid of happening had to happen.

You were pregnant again.

The symptoms were all too familiar, you had taken a test in fear of it being true, and you weren't that surprised when it was true, but you were very, very afraid.

What if it happened again? What if you just weren't destined to give birth? What would Freddie think of this?

Freddie.

You knew you had to tell him. It wouldn't be an easy conversation to have, but he had to know and you knew that if you were gonna go through with this, you couldn't do it without him by your side to support you.

You gulped and hesitantly dialed your husband's number in, he was at the studio recording a new single and you hated disturbing his work, but the sooner you got this over with the better.

"Hello?" 

"Roger, hey." You said quietly.

"Hi Y/N, everything alright?" Roger raised an eyebrow, surprised to hear you on the other line.

"C-Can you put Freddie on please?" You fought to keep a steady voice, you hated how emotional these damn hormones made you.

There was speaking in the other line before you heard a new voice on the other line.

"Hi darling, what's going on?" Your husband inquired.

"H-Hey...Are you almost finished over there? I need to talk to you about something." You said in a small voice.

"Is everything alright?" Worry entered his voice, and you just clutched the cord tighter.

"I'll explain when you come home." You sighed.

"I'll be right over." 

And with that he hung up.

Freddie really stuck to his words and arrived way sooner than you expected, and he wrapped you in a death grip that shocked you.

"H-Hi." You giggled despite your nerves, hugging him back tightly.

"H-Hi." He smiled nervously, sitting you guys down.

"That was fast." You chuckled a bit.

"I told you it would be...Now what's going on?" He asked seriously.

You inhaled anxiously, sighing softly.

"Um...something happened earlier and I just- I had to tell you as soon as possible and get it over with." You said meekly.

"I-Is it something bad?" He frowned.

I'll let you be the judge of that.

"W-Well, I-"

"A-Are you sick or something?" He asked in fear, making you shake your head quickly.

"No no no, nothing like that. I'm not sick." You quickly reassured him, bringing him into another hug.

"Th-Thank fuck...I thought you were gonna say you have cancer or something." He sighed heavily.

"I'm not dying or anything like that, I promise." You kissed his head softly, biting your lip.

"What's wrong then?" He asked softly.

You breathed deep, your voice shaky.

"I-I'm pregnant...Again." You croaked.

He froze, his eyes filling with tears as he let out a squeak of shock.

"I know..." You held back a whimper, taking his trembling body into your arms.

"H-How long have you known?" The Persian sniffled.

"I called you right after I took the test." 

Freddie swallowed, slowly putting a shaking hand on your stomach that had yet to show the life form growing inside it.

"W-We're keeping it?" He asked for clarification, fighting off more tears.

You sniffled and bit your lip.

"I'm not getting an abortion b-but I'm scared Freddie...wh-what if things go wrong again?" You whimpered, not ready to go through that heartbreak again. You never would be ready for that.

Freddie rocked you gently, holding you against his chest.

"I-I'm scared too...B-But just because it happened once last time doesn't mean it'll happen again...I will be there at your side no matter what, I love you." 

You teared up yourself, hugging the love of your life tightly which he did the same to you.

"I love you too Freddie. So much." Your voice cracked as you laid in each other's arms, seeking each other's reassurance in the moment of emotion.

___________

Nine months passed by quicker than you thought they would, but the pain from childbirth sure wasn't.

Agony coursed through you as you were rushed to the hospital, Freddie gripping your hand so tight he could've detached it from your arm whilst you fought through your excruciating pain to actually bring your child into this world this time.

"Alright Y/N, push!" Your midwife gently urged you, your body feeling ready to split in two as you did as she instructed.

You didn't know how Veronica and other women managed to do this more than once, it felt like you were gonna die.

An infant's wail then filled the room, relief and joy flooding through you and Freddie as your eyes welled up with tears upon seeing your baby alive and well.

"I told you dear...everything would be alright." Freddie whispered as he kissed your head. 

The end.
