Between You and Me

Chapter 9

Keith's pov:

"Keith, you're pregnant." My heart stopped.

"No no no I can't be. Wait really am I. Haha I'm gonna be a dad. What if Lance doesn't want a kid? He's gonna be mad! I can't tell him about this. Oh my god what am I doing ." I started to breath rapidly. I felt Pidge hug me tightly.

"Hey hey Keith calm down. Look at me." She grabbed my face and saw the tears streaming down my face. "Listen, Lance loves you Keith. And he will still love you. Okay."

I nodded my head and hugged her. "Thank you Pidge. Really. I'll tell him I will, just not yet."  She smiled at me and I smiled back.

We walked back to the couches and I sat down on Lances lap and smiled at him. He kissed the back of my head. I looked over and watched as Shiro played with Alluras hair and Pidge and Romelle played around fighting on the couch. Hunk and Coran were just talking.

"Are you feeling okay babe." Lance whispered in my ear and stroked his fingers through my hair.

"Yes I feel amazing." I smiled and placed a hand on my stomach, on my baby.

I turned in Lances lap to face him and pushed him to the side while whining. He laughed and laid down so I could lay on on his chest.

I ended up falling asleep laying on Lance. I jolted awake to the sound of a siren blasting and Alluras voice running through the speakers. I got off of Lance and we ran to the control room.

"Suit up paladins." We did as Allura said and we were out.

"Okay you guys to take down this galra ship (a/n idk you guys work with me here) I want Pidge and Hunk to to strike from bellow. I'll take head on with Lance. Keith, you try and take from behind. Got it?"

"Got it!"

"Um maybe I could switch and go with Keith in the back. I think Hunk can handle bottom right." Pidge sounded a little worried. I got why. I guess I never really accounted for pregnancy getting in the way of fights.

"What why? Keith is strong he won't need help." Lance got defensive and I smiled a little.

"It's okay Pidge. Stick to the plan and I'll be fine." I reassured her.

I was firing at some soldiers when I took a hit straight on.

"Ahhh"

"Keith are you alright?" I heard Lances voice. My head was pounding.

"Yeah I'm f-" before I could finish I took another stronger hit. It sent me flying back.

"KEITH!" Pidge and Lance both shouted to me.

"AHH" I was jerked out of seat and fell. As red spiraled back I was thrown around. I clenched my stomach protectively as I panted pressed against the wall.

My head was spinning. I closed my eyes and felt that red stopped moving.

"Keith Keith can you hear me baby are you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah I can hear you Lance. I'm okay." I heard him sigh with relief.

"Everyone get back to the castle. Good job you guys." I didn't get up. I stayed laying on floor holding my stomach. I took my helmet off so the others couldn't hear me.

"It gonna be okay little guy." I whispered rubbing my baby.

Lances pov:

Once we were all back to the castle I bolted to the red lion. I made it there just before the others and right as Keith walked out. I ran up to him and lifted him to the air.

"Oh thank god you're okay. Are you sure you're fine? You're not hurt or anything?" He laughed as I placed him down. I kissed him multiple times on the lips and some on his cheeks.

"Yes I'm okay Lance. Just quite a head ache." He laid his head to my chest and I saw as his legs gave out from under him.

"Ack!" He giggled and I picked him up. I turned around and the others were right behind me. I placed Keith back down to the ground. I saw him clench his head in pain.

Being honest, even though I hate seeing him in pain he's absolutely adorable. Strange. I saw Keith grab his lower stomach. Hm. I shrugged it off though.

"Keith, you have to be more careful. If you're reckless then you tw- I mean you could get hurt." Pidge seemed to catch herself. Weird.

Keith's pov:

"Thanks for looking out for me but don't worry I'll be fine."

"Err come with me Keith. I should have some pills for you to take to help with that head ache." Pidge started to walk to her room and Romelle followed her.

"I'll meet you back at your room." I kissed Lance then I followed after Pidge.

"Look I lied. You're pregnant and it's not good for you to be taking pills. Except these." She handed me these pregnancy pills that should help keep my baby healthy.

"Thank you Pidge."

"Wait wait wait wait wait! Are you serious. Keith are you pregnant with Lances child?" I smiled at Romelle.

"Yep. Almost a week. But don't tell anyone until I tell Lance." I hugged my own belly. Even though I'm still scared and I know this might mess with voltron, I still loved my unborn baby.

"Speaking of telling Lance. I suggest you tell him soon. We should be having another mission very soon. And there is no way I'm letting you go. It's too dangerous and we can't risk another incident. It could hurt you or the baby or worse." I sighed. Mostly because I knew she was right.

"Okay I'll tell him tonight. After dinner." The girls smiled at me.

At dinner

Lances pov:

Keith seemed on edge. He only poked at his food a bit. I didn't know if he was feeling sick again.

"Hey are you feeling sick?" I placed my hand on his.

"Um no just a lot on my mind. I'll tell you after dinner." I was still really worried about him.

"Okay but you should really eat something."

"Yeah Keith. It's really important for your health that you make sure you each regularly." Pidge spoke really weirdly. I swear those two are the weirdest people I've ever met.

Keith started to eat his dinner. He soon finished along with the others.

"I'm gonna go to my room and change. See you guys later." He adjusted my face and gave me a big kiss which I happily returned.

Keith's pov:

I walked in circles in my room smiling. I hummed a soft tone and and rubbed my baby. I had changed Into come looser sweats. I could already see that my stomach had the smallest bump forming and I giggled happily.

"Keith?"

I whipped around and saw Lance staring at me questioningly.

"Lance! H-hey." I grabbed a shirt to put on and connected my hands behind my back.

"What's up?"

"Nothing Pidge just said I should come see you. You're taking quite a long tick to get clothes on." I sighed. Damn it Pidge.

"Yeah um actually there's something I need to tell you." I took a deep breath.

"Hey what ever it is you can tell me Keith. You know I love you."

"How much?"

"What?"

"How much do you love me?"

"More then anything else in the universe and nothing is going to change that. Keith what's wrong?"

"Lance, I-I'm pregnant."
