Keith's pov:

I woke up alone in Lances bed. I slowly and carefully got up from the bed and went to check the bathroom. Not there. Just them the bed room door opened and Lance walked in.

"Hey what are you doing? You should be laying down in bed resting. I brought us breakfast to have here." He set our tray down on the night stand by the bed and helped me to sit in the bed.

"I'm not sick you know Lance. I can walk around and function on my own." I pouted at him and he just smiled and handed me my bowl.

"You could be due any day now Keith. I don't want you to be up and about with out with knowing where you are okay? We still don't know how this could play out."  I sighed and ate my breakfast. I was more then three month in and ready to blow any minute now.

Because we don't have the right equipment we couldn't tell about what day I'd have the baby. So Lance had been taking extra care of me. I kinda did love it. I smiled and traced my now large baby bump. It still made me very happy.

"I think I'm gonna miss having my bump." Lance smiled and put his hand on top of mine.

"Well soon enough we'll have even better." He took our bowls and placed them back on the tray.

"Ah Lance quick!" I grabbed his hand and pressed it to the lower part of my baby bump. Lance smiled and I think even almost cried a bit.

Our baby was kicking. It wasn't the first time but it didn't happen that often. When it did though Lance wasn't always there. It happened a lot on missions it when I was resting in bed.

"I can't wait for you my little baby." There was then a knock on the door and Pidge walked in.

"Hey just an FYI Coran set up a little delivery room for when the baby comes. It's all ready."

"Come here Pidge." She walked to the bed and sat down beside me. I grabbed her hand and pressed it to my belly as the baby kicked at her hand.

Pidge gasped and her eyes lit up. I smiled at her and ruffled her hair. She was turning 18 soon and I knew how much she wanted a baby. More then she had told Romelle. She really was growing up. She was still our little space nerd and robot geek and a big rule breaker. But still she had matured these last few months. Plus her hair had gotten longer basically shoulder length and very flowy.

She was certainly a beautiful girl. She continued to smile until the baby stopped kicking and she rubbed the shape of my stomach.

"Man I don't want to wait anymore. When do I get to have one." She pouted and I laughed.

"How about this. When you are 19 I'll sit down with you and Romelle. Maybe we can discuss helping you with having your own kid." I looked at lance almost shocked. But then my face settled to a smile. I love him so much. Pidge stared wide eyed before throwing her arms around his neck.

"Oh my goodness really!? You'd do that for me? Thank you so much Lance!" He hugged her back and smiling.

"Of course little Pidge-on. But only once you're 19. And when Romelle agrees. Now could you do me a favor and take these dishes to the kitchen?" She nodded and took the stuff smiling.

"It's a really sweet thing you're offering to do for her. But do you think it'll make things weird?" He shrugged his shoulder.

"She's gay and I prefer guys. Plus we both know it wouldn't mean anything. It'll just be a quick get it done. It'll be worth it for her to be so happy." I moved to stand up and Lance immediately helped me. I kissed him sweetly.

"I love you. Now can you please help me shower?"

Lance pov:

I walked into the room with everyone else just sitting on the couches. I laughed a little watching as Romelle trying to braid Pidges hair. I know that they are made for each other and if he happy to help them have a kid one day.

Aside from that, Hunk and Coran were talking about the delivery and showing Hunk how he has to help. Allura was just reading a book in Altean sitting with Shiro with her legs in his lap. Shiro rubbed her legs lightly while lecturing Pidge about her language.

"Hey guys." I plopped on he couch next to Romelle.

"Hey where's Keith?" Coran was always on top of where Keith was lately. Which I guess technically I was too.

"He's sleeping." We sat there on the couch for a good two hours. It was a lot of fun. Too much fun that I didn't think to check on Keith. The one time I don't check on Keith.

Keith's pov:

I jolted awake and screamed from a sharp pain in my stomach. It was unexplainable pain and I could hardly tell where exactly it was.

"Ahhh huh Lance!" I pushed myself against the wall getting up. But as soon as I was up the pain shot back again. I was panting heavily.

I walked to the door and opened it. I pressed myself against the wall for support as I walked down the hall clutching my stomach.

"Lance!!"

"Lance!" Finally I heard foot steps running to me.

"Oh my god Keith hey it's okay I'm here. I'm so sorry." I fell into him and the others rushed to help me to the room Coran set up.

"Okay I take it back. I'm ready for the baby. Ahhh please just get it out of me!" They laid me on a mattress they had taken from a spare room and put on a foldable table. My head rested against a thing of pillows they had to elevate my head a bit. Lance removed my shirt and I cried out in pain.

I heard Coran barking orders to the others. He took a needle and grabbed my arm. Lance was holding my hand tightly and brushing my hair back. Coran had injected me with something to help put me to sleep.

"It's okay Keith. Everything's going to be alright. I'm here baby." Lance continued to comfort me as I faded out of consciousness.

Time skip after the surgery because I don't know how to do a c section.

My eyes slowly fluttered open. The lights were dim and I could see the others all around me and light cries from them.

"Lance?"

"I'm right here love. We both are." I turned to my right to see Lance holding a little baby wrapped in a blanket. He held the baby close to him and he was crying. He held the baby in one arm and stroked my face with the other.

"You did it Keith. It's over now. Thank you so much for my baby. I love you. Now, would you like to hold your daughter?"
