Shiro sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, looking down at all the bills he had to take care of. Even with Keith's help, his own two jobs, and help from the government he still could barely afford to save up any amount of money. Let alone get money for a decent crib, baby clothes, bottles, formula or any toys. With Lance's inability to work it didn't make it easier. He didn't regret any of his desicions that led up to this, meeting Lance falling for him and much to his surprise getting him pregnant. None of it he regretted. He knew all the sacrifices he had to make for this to work, thankfully now he was out of school and able to work full time, and over time. Even with that, rent, electricity, water, cable, internet, car payments, motorcycle payments, groceries and now college. Everything was going to pile up soon. Keith working helped, but only so much. Even selling motorcycles he built would only be so much in their savings account. To top it off, they still haven't told Lance's family or the gang about the pregnancy. That was going to be a surprise to the gang.
Currently Lance was over at his home visiting, ever since he got kicked out he visited every chance he got when his father wasn't home. What Shiro didn't know is that Lance's mother always gave him a bit of money for them. In thanks for taking care of his son, but Lance kept it saved for emergencies and if he ever needed to help with the bills.
Shiro buried his face in his hands, their apartment was big enough for him, Lance and Keith. They would be crammed when their child was born. He'd been looking at a larger apartment, he found a good one, He and Lance would share a room, Keith would have his room and workspace in one. They'd even have enough room for their child to run around and grow up. The main issue was having to save up for it. He wasn't going to be able to keep up with the bills, he'd need a third job maybe even have to ask Keith to pick up a second job. He groaned, he had the approval form. He had the money to get it, but he didn't know if that was a good idea. On one hand, they'd have more space on the other he would have to to work double time to pay for it. He chewed on his lower lip, staring at the paper.
"Fuck it, we need a bigger place." He said before signing it. "This is for us..." He said softly

Lance smiled wide as they stepped into their new apartment. "It's perfect! I love it!" He exclaimed holding his large rounded stomach. "Your daddy did a great job" He whispered. He turned to Shiro smiling brightly. "I can't believe we got approved." He said happily kissing Shiro. He smiled and kissed his forehead.
"Anything for you baby, now I'm gonna bring up something for you to sit on." He said before turning to go down and help Keith bring the couch up. The whole gang was there to help with the move. Hunk, Keith and Shiro were in charge of the heavy lifting. Pidge and Allura brought up decorations and boxes of clothes. They all rushed to bring the couch up for Lance. Once it was settled they brought up their clothes and decorations, Lance sat going through the boxes putting away dishes in the cabinets, the pans in cabinets and tried to put their appliances on the counter next. Only to be told to sit down and relax while the whole team moved everything in. With a pouty face and a kiss on the forehead he complied.
After hours of moving things in, unboxing and organizing everything. Shiro sat next to Lance exhausted.
"I'm glad you like it... I hoped you would. It's big enough for us now." He said looking down at him. Lance smiled.
"Anything would be perfect baby, you should know this." He said kissing Shiro's cheek.
"Alright you two love birds, we have a surprise for you." Pidge said as Hunk and Keith brought in a large cardboard box wrapped up in blue wrapping paper.
"Shiro I know how hard you've been working, we all do. And we wanted to gift you with something you've been wanting to get for a while now." Keith said smiling. Shiro swallowed hard his eyes welling up in tears, already knowing what it was. Lance furrowed his brows.
"What is it?" He asked before beginning to open it up. His jaw dropped. "You guys, you shouldn't! This is expensive!" He exclaimed. Shiro stood up and hugged them tightly.
"You guys didn't have to.... Thank you so much. " he cried. They all smiled and hugged him back.
"We also got some gifts for the baby." Hunk said moving to get a gift from outside Allura following shortly after. He came in with a car seat filled with clothes, bottles, pacifiers and bibs. Allura came in with boxes of diapers and formula.
"We wanted to relieve some stress off of you while you worked, so you can save up for the little one. We're all here to help Shiro. Don't be afraid to ask." She said. They nodded in agreement.
"I have a surprise too..." Lance chimed in moving to get two envelopes on their table. He handed them to Shiro. "One is from my mom." He said. Shiro nodded and opened the letter.
' Dear Shiro,
Thank you for taking such great care of my son. I can see how happy you make him, and by the way he talks about you you seem like an amazing man. I couldn't imagine my son starting a family with a better man. Yes I know, I knew from his first visit. I've had 4 other children. I know the signs. So please take this as a gift from me to you and my son.'In the envelope sat cash and a check. Shiro smiled wide.
"We have to thank your mother for all this and invite her and your siblings over. " Lance nodded then handed Shiro another envelope. He opened it up and felt his jaw drop. It was his ultra sounds with a blue border on it, saying 'It's a boy!'. Tears of joy slipped down his cheeks. "A boy?! It's a boy!" He cried. "We're having a boy!" He shouted. Lance smiled tears rolling down his cheeks as Shiro kissed him.
After they calmed down the team left, and Keith went to his room to rest up for his shift the next day. Lance and Shiro on the couch laying across it. Lance sat up with Shiro laying on his stomach talking to the baby.
"Hey little guy, it's daddy." He said smiling. "I can't wait to meet you, you've been so well behaved with your mama." He said kissing his stomach. "I love you so much. I can't wait to spoil you and get in trouble for it." He said chuckling. Lance flicked his forehead and shook his head.
"You're not going to spoil them rotten." He protested. "You are going to spoil them moderately." Shiro laughed then kissed his stomach.
"Can you keep a secret buddy?" He whispered glancing up at Lance. "I talked to your uncle Keith, and he said I could have your grandparents rings." He said softly. "I'd like to ask mama to marry me, you okay with that?" He asked. Lance's jaw dropped as his eyes began to tear up.
"Shiro. Are you being serious?" He asked. Shiro nodded.
"Lance McClain, would you do me the honor of becoming Takashi Lance?" He asked. "Will you marry me?".
"Yes Shiro! Yes, yes. A million times yes!" He cried pulling up Shiro kissing him hard and passionately. "I love you, I love you!" He said in a raspy voice.
"I love you too." Shiro replied happily, then moved down to kiss his stomach. "I love you too my baby boy" he laughed as he felt a small kick. "I guess that's an I love you back?" He asked. Lance nodded and rubbed his stomach.
