Complete fantasy mpreg bonus chapter three. Totally beyond the realm of my experience, and no science this chapter. Yep Phillip's still knocked up and there are still no werewolves.
The next few months ticked along smoothly, sort of. There were a pile of appointments and school was back in session, but Gareth's parents, so completely wonderful when he'd met them only a little while earlier, were more than amazing now. They sold their house and moved to be close by so that not only could they help with the children, but they could also allow Gareth the time to travel with Phillip to the myriad of medical appointments that he now had. Although the couple hadn't told the rest of the family what the issue was, both men assured everyone that Phillip wasn't ill. The grandparents also babysat on a regular basis, often taking the kids after school when Phillip or Gareth couldn't be home in time.
The idea of a baby growing in Phillip was still something completely foreign to him. Sure he'd seen the scans and suffered through countless tests, he'd been ravenously hungry and horrifically nauseated, but he endured because he had to. It still seemed like a horribly exhausting, never ending joke, but it wasn't, and there was a baby involved. Phillip spent countless hours ruminating over this fact. His emotions were all over the place; he was withdrawn and upset one minute and teary and needy the next, yet Gareth remained steadfast by his side and Phillip tried his hardest to put on a brave face around the kids.
By mid November the pregnancy was progressing well, the fetal development was normal from week to week, and they even had a booklet of ultrasound photos of the baby although they didn't yet know the gender. As they drove down the highway towards yet another appointment, Gareth reached across to Phillip taking ahold of his hand.
"How are you doing, Phil, really?"
"I'm okay. Better when I'm with you." And Phillip was feeling a little better, too. He was almost past the first trimester, and he was hoping that entering the next three months would end the morning sickness that plagued him morning, noon, and night. In fact, with all the vomiting, despite the fact a growing baby was inside his womb, his abs had never been tighter. He'd taken to drinking meal replacement shakes to help get more nutrients and adding iron drops at the doctors' suggestion because the prenatal vitamins were too hard on his uber sensitive stomach.
Phillip absently played a little with Gareth's long fingers, just enjoying some quiet time together, even if it was in the car. Things had been hectic the past few weeks with events at the children's school, Gareth's meet the teacher night, and the elder Lewises being over often. "I need you, Gareth."
Gareth smiled warmly at Phillip. As much as he was sure there were some hormones responsible for some of Phillip's touchiness, he couldn't deny that he loved the attention. There were hugs and caresses, kisses and nips, and Gareth loved it all. "I need you too, Phillip. I love you." Turned back to the road and continued driving.

"What's up Phillip?" Bill asked.
Mel and Phillip were working on the living wall in Bill's law office, having started to install the grid for the watering and plants, and Phillip had said he wanted to ask Bill something, 'in his professional opinion.' It was funny. For all Bill had heard that Phillip was ill all the time, today he looked great, almost glowing.
"I want to marry Gareth," Phillip said, after the door was shut, leaving Mel out working by the front desk.
"Are you asking me for permission? Because I'm pretty sure his parents live in town now, don't they?" Bill joked. "Abby said she met them at the school open house."
"Yes, they do, and they're great, but I'm asking because I need to know how to do it legally," Phillip clarified. "I'm not one to mince words. I need to marry Gareth."
