Beetlejuice + Lydia = Baby -Beetlejuice Fanfic-

Chapter 2: Congratulations

(Congratulations!) (Shorter chapter but the next one will be longer :D)

After 2 weeks had passed after Beetlejuice had left. Lydia fell ill and wasn't sure why, so she went to a doctor's appointment. The doctor runs a blood test and comes back with the results in hand "Well, Ms. Deetz, you're not sick...you're pregnant." he says smiling. 

Lydia gets wide eyed, not believing it at first "You sure?" 

The doctor laughs "Of course I am. Congrats to you." he hands her the folder for her to look at. 

She takes it and reads it over "Wow..."

4 months later... 

Them being together almost felt like a dream they both had at the same time. Lydia was going through the motions of being 4 months pregnant and showing a small belly. Her feelings were all over the place at times and her cravings for crazy foods were off the charts. At one point she caught herself floating up to the ceiling of her room while trying to sleep. 

She sat on her bed wanting to talk to him again, wanting to tell him. So, she grabs the handbook and starts reading on what to do.

Beetlejuice had been trying to concentrate on his bio-exorcist business and not think about Lydia. He wasn't sure how long it had been for her since they were together, but it felt like forever for him. Why did he have to go and fall in love with a mortal woman.

---

Lydia finally finds a passage of crossing over for a mortal and goes to go through her art supplies finding a white crayon so she can draw a door on the wall. "Knock 3 times... easy enough." she says softly as she knocks on the wall 3 times and it suddenly breaks open with a blue light shining through. 

She feels a slight chill, so she grabs her black jacket and puts it on, the book said something about a chant for her to be able to cross but when she puts her hand through the door frame just to test the waters, there's no barrier, so she walks through with the door shutting behind her.

Beetlejuice felt something strange, but he couldn't place it. Almost like he felt his juice coming from somewhere else, but it was weaker. He shook his head and went back to talking to the newly dead that wanted his help.

Lydia finds herself in the hallways, so she starts walking aways and ends up in the waiting room. She walks up to the window "Excuse me can you tell me where I can find Beetlejuice?" 

The lady behind the desk looks up at her and sighs as if annoyed "Around the corner, walk until you see a door that reads 'Main office B'" she points in the right direction. 

Lydia nods at her in thanks and walks down the hallway aways. When she finally sees the door, she lets out a sigh of relief but also nervousness. She untwists the doorknob and walks in and as soon as she turns the corner all the Shrinkers look up at her at the same time with wide eyes glaring at her.

Beetlejuice feels the strange feeling increase until suddenly he stopped mid-sentence when he realized all the shrinkers were staring at the office door. He felt a tap on his shoulder and groaned, "WHAT THE FUCK IS So INTERESTING??" He finally turned around and looked. His jaw dropped in shock. He gasped, "Lyds? Why are you here? Please tell me ya didn't off yourself!"

"No, I came on my own...I drew a door." she swallows, feeling nervous again.

Beetlejuice gasped, "But how? Fleshies aren't allowed here!"

"There's something I need to tell you..." she opens her jacket and shows him her small belly sticking out from her black dress she's wearing.

Beetlejuice groans, "You broke into the Nietherworld to tell me you got a bit chubby? What you worried I won't like you if you're not thin? Babes? When we were together did you bother to look at me? I have a beer belly so I would be a bit hypocritical if I said I only like you thin. Besides you could have just summoned me with those B-words." When he said beer belly, he grabbed it and shook it. He didn't care if the love of his life gained a little bit of weight. He thought she was a bit too thin before anyway.

"No, I didn't just gain weight..." she takes his hand in hers and puts it underneath her dress to lay on her belly "Listen."

He was confused but did as she asked and closed his eyes to concentrate. His eyes shot instantly open when he realized what the source of his juice he was sensing or rather the baby she now carries. He gasped, "Fuck, Lyds. We need to get ya outa here right now!"

She looks at him confused "But why?"

Beetlejuice said, "Can't talk here, Lyds."

When they get through a door he drew from chalk, it led right back into her room at the house. Lydia looks out of breath from him pulling her along the hallways again. "Now will you talk to me?"

Beetlejuice sits hard on the bed and asked, "Was there anything else you found with that spell that made me human again?"

"Not that I know of." she picks up the handbook from her dresser and hands him the paper that was inside it.

He puts on his reading glasses and looks at it again. He reads it more carefully before groaning, "Fuck. This spell was made by a necromancer that wanted to bring her dead husband back to life to conceive a child. But the catch is that the child is half human and half ghost."

"Oh..." Lydia says, turning from him walking over to the window, she looks out, thinking all kinds of scenarios that could happen with their child. Not all of them good. "I'm sorry..."

Beetlejuice sighed, "Nah, Lyds. I'm the one that's sorry. You don't need the kid of a fucking poltergeist to ruin your life."

"Who said it would ruin me, what if I... want it." she says, trying to rub the incoming tears from her eyes.

Beetlejuice asked in surprise, "Why? You won't be able to find a husband because our kid will probably look like me only more alive and it's obviously going to have my juice and will need to learn how to hide that from the fleshbags."

"I don't care. I don't want to marry someone else anyways. I just want our baby and whatever happens with it. I've been so lonely... but now I have someone to live for." she sighs.

Beetlejuice sighed, "Lyds, you have no idea how complicated it is to have a half breed ghost child. You don't have anyone to help you with it. It's not like raising a normal child."

She takes hold of his hand and brings it up to her face, holding it there, cupping her cheek softly "Then I want you to help me...please."

Beetlejuice sighed, "You don't want me Lyds.... Not like this... I already figured that out. I will help you with our baby if that's what you want because I will always protect you."

"You promise?" she asks, leaning her cheek more into his palm, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Beetlejuice sighed, "Yea, Lyds. I promise."
