A/N: this is not a reference to Star Wars 😂 no hate, I love Star Wars.

Catra sat on the balcony staring at the horizon that was the kingdom of Bright Moon. She wasn't alone. She had her stomach to keep her company. By stomach, I mean, her unborn child inside her. She massaged her hand over her stomach where her child was at.

"Catra?" Her ears twitched and she spun around to see Adora beautiful as always. Adora snaked an arm around her mate's chest and pecks her cheek.

"Hey, Adora."

Adora laid a hand on the bump that is her future child. "How's the baby?"

"It's amazing."

"That's great. What about the baby inside you?" Adora wore a smug smirk and Catra snorted lightly.

"Hilarious."

"I still can't believe you didn't want to know the gender."

"I wanted it to be a surprise!"

"Do we have names or are we just going to be calling 'it'?"

"We still have at least two months. I'm sure we'll come up with something."

Catra kissed her lover's soft, pink lips and stared back at the view. Catra felt her nerves acting up again. Catra started having thoughts about after she had her child. Most of them weren't the best thoughts. Catra began muttering her thoughts to herself.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Why would you assume something's wrong?"

"Because when you're nervous, your tail frizzes and on top of that, you're muttering."

"Well, I'm not nervous."

"Catra, please, I want to be able to help you. What's going on?"

"I'm just scared."

"Of what, kitten?"

Catra knew that what she was about to say would most likely be false to Adora but she also knew is that her childhood was exactly all laughter and fun with Adora. There was one thing that would keep Catra from being fully happy. Something that made her feel like she was nothing.

"What if I'm a horrible mother? What if I end up like...her?"

"Catra, you, not in a million years, are not going to turn into Shadow Weaver. She was nothing but a heartless, cowardly woman. You are nothing like her. You were strong enough to come back and admit your request to join the rebellion. You were strong when you left. You're a much better person than she ever would be."

"Adora, you've seen how she treated me! You're not a little worried that I might get a little aggressive like her?"

"Of course not. Catra, you are a lot of things but aggressive as Shadow Weaver is not one of them."

"I just want to be a perfect mom, you know? I've never had a mom to show me how to handle this kind of thing."

"Neither did I but darling, that doesn't mean you'll fail as a parent. I'll admit, we won't be perfect parents but as long as the kid is happy, I'll be happy."

"I want the kid to be happy too but what about you? I want you to be happy, too."

"Catra, we're having a child together; we're going to be parents! I'm not happy; I'm ecstatic!"

"So am I. I just don't want anything to go wrong; I just want what's best for all of us."

"As do I and when this baby is born, we're going to be a family."
