Trauma At Its Finest (Lip Gallagher X Male Reader)

Ch 17. Prime Daddy Material

It's finally time. Eighteen weeks. The baby's gender should be revealed by now. For the appointment, Lip managed to skip an easy-to-catch-up-on lesson. Outside the community health center, Y/N and Kaitlyn meet up with the father-to-be.

Once inside, the 18-weeks-pregnant Kaitlyn is lying on the examining table as the doctor performs the ultrasound. Next to her are the soon-to-be fathers, both intently watching the screen.

"Everything looks good." The doctor comments, glancing back at the group. "Would you like to know the gender?"

As they had already discussed, they decided they wanted to know. No surprises. Both father look at the screen, before looking back at the doctor.

"Yes." Lip replies eagerly.

The doctor smiles softly. "Congratulations. It's a boy."

The three of them look surprised but smile warmly. They exchange excited glances.

"We're going to have another boy!" Lip says, grinning widely.

"Another one?" Y/N casually says, his tone calm, causing Lip to look at him with a hint of confusion.

Kaitlyn is quick to jump in with a teasing remark. "What? Did you want a girl?"

"Not necessarily."

"Then why did you say 'another one'?" Lip asks, amused but genuinely curious.

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Y/N replies, his face deadpan.

Lip can't help but laugh. "You're such a fucking weirdo..."

Though Lip managed to skip one class for the appointment, he couldn't neglect the rest of his schedule. As a result, Y/N returned home without his fiancé but did bring Kaitlyn along. Once they were in the house, the man of the house gathered everyone for the big announcement.

"Everyone, we know the gender!" Y/N called out.

Y/N and Kaitlyn sat down on the couch as, one by one, the rest of the family began to gather in the living room, that is a bit filled with some cats.

"Well?" Debbie asked, clearly eager to find out if she was getting another nephew or a new niece.

"It's a boy." Y/N revealed with a smile.

The room filled with happy cheers and congratulations. Y/N pulled out the ultrasound photo of the baby in the womb and made sure to show it to everyone. The photo drew a chorus of 'aww's' from the group—except from one person.

"What's wrong with his head?" Mickey asked, squinting at the picture.

"He's still got months to go." Y/N replied flatly, stating the obvious. "And don't insult my child."

"Isn't it Lip's kid?" Mickey shot back.

"It's still their son." Kaitlyn chimed in firmly. "And with Lip's good-looking genes, I doubt the baby will turn out ugly."

"Exactly." Y/N agreed, smirking.

With that, the family moved one step closer to welcoming their newest member. In just a few months, another baby would join the household. The due date was estimated for February or March of next year—only 22 weeks away. While the thought of raising another child felt daunting, Y/N and Lip couldn't help but feel excited about what was to come.

As time passed, the family finished dinner, with Kaitlyn joining them. After the meal, everyone dispersed, leaving Y/N and Kaitlyn in the kitchen to tackle the dishes. Nearby, Mikhail played happily in his playpen.
