Shiro POV

I look over at keith for whats probably the 50th time this morning. After learning that keith was pregnant we fell asleep together while keith cried. Now its the next morning and we're all trying to get everything figured out. I can tell keith has been pretty numb to this whole thing so far. Aside from looking tired, hes had the same facial expression since he woke up. That, or he hasnt yet figured out that theres more to just being pregnant. For one, hes male. It will be almost an entirely different experience for him compared to if he were female. Among other things, he doesnt have breasts so feeding the child will feel very unusual. Others things are him being half galra and then being raised on earth as a human all contribute to his pregnancy being more than just being pregnant. Me, keith, and everyone else is currently gathered up on the bridge, trying to find a solution to our predicament. "Its not ideal, but given our situation, could we try..... abortion?" Lance speaks up. "Abortion? What might that be?" Coran questions, causing the human paladins, and even keith, to look at him with wide eyes. "Its when you get rid of the baby because you dont want to or cant afford to have it" Hunk replies with a depressed tone. "The blades have no such thing, our objective is to produce children, and with that comes new recuits and the assurance that the blades wont fade out" I explain monotonously while glancing to keith. "Yes, and Altea was a relatively peaceful planet when it came to such things as financial circumstances and reproduction, thus we had no reason to have this abortion you speak of" Coran adds, contributing to the slowly increasing thick air. "So....what youre saying is, since there was no abortion on Altea then the castle was not equipped with the medical tools to perform the operation?"Keith speaks for the first time this morning, surprising the others. "Yes" coran says simply. I notice keiths eyes stare widely with fear. Feeling his distress through our mark I make my way over to comfort him. "Dont worry keith, itll be okay" I say gently to him as hunk starts to say sonethin. "B-Besides! Abortion shouldnt be what we turn to, we'll all help raise the baby, all of us from earth know what aborting the baby entails so even if we had the option I know we wouldnt take it" hunk says trying to help the situation. I wonder, if I had been from earth like keith, would I be able to help him more? Its times like these that you notice the small differences start to grow. I look down to keith and see his eyes start to gloss over, his ears already down. He immediately turns away to wipe his eyes and starts to leave the room. I quickly follow behind, hoping to provide emotional stability to my mate. When we get out to the hall and the door closes behind us I look to keith who is by and facing the part of the wall that is directly opposite the door. His back is hunched and shudders with each of his cries while his hands continuously try to wipe away the stream of tears. "Dont worry, you have me here" I say quietly as I grasp his shoulder and attempt to turn him towards me. He jerks free and remains facing away as his crying quiets to sniffles. "I!.....I!....I dont know what to do! I dont want to have the baby aborted! But I dont know anything about taking care of one! And if something happens to us in the fight against the galra.....the baby will be left for dead!" Keiths cries out but doesnt move from his position. My ears instantly flatten, my tail goes limp at his exclamation, and my chest aches from his depressed state. Not knowing what else to do, I close the small distance between us and envelope keith in a hug from behind. "I dont know whats going to happen or if things will even go well, but I can tell you I will not let anyone hurt you or our child, not ever!" I say, knowing full well that I mean it, even if it will cost me my life. I lean my head over his shoulder and kiss the crook of his neck. Thats when I notice he has stopped crying. I look up to see his eyes red ad his face flushed while still looking at the wall with a relaxed yet sad expression. He turns his head to me and his eyes are glossy with a slight bit of hope. "Youll stay with me right? You wont leave?" He questions almost silently, turning his gaze to the floor in the process. Disengaging from the hug and turning keith towards me, I rest my large hands on his small shoulders and look deeply into his eyes. "No way will I leave you" I say, not breaking eye contact. "Mm" he sounds, his eyes getting teary before leaning in and resting the top of his forehead against my chest. Giving a small sad smile, I rest my prosthetic hand on his head while his hair falls to cover his eyes. After a few moments I take my hand and lift keith's chin up to look at me. I lean down and passionately but gently take his lips in a kiss. His small surprised moans only adding to my wanting of him. I step foward a bit, causing keith's back to gently hit the wall and thus trapping him. After breaking away from the first kiss, we wait only seconds to go into the next. As our lips combine I move my hand to keith's stomache and rub lightly. Keith pulls away with a surprised moan and his face goes red. "Why are you touching my stomache?" He asks with the most embarassed expression Ive seen so far. I chuckle lightly at his oblivious question. "Because, obviously it, and whats inside it, are mine" I respond protectively, making my pupils narrow to show a bit of my alpha. Keith's face immediately flushes even redder at my remark and looks down, hoping to hide his face. I smile warmly and rub his stomache with my prosthetic hand again. "I cant wait to see our child" I tell him honestly into his ear.
