Hardships

Celebrations

Catra and Adora got back to the palace, hand in hand as the guards opened the door to the carriage and walked them to the main entrance where Bow, Glimmer, Colossus, Crystela, and Iroh were waiting for us.

"Yo! So whats the news?", Bow asks tackling Catra to the floor making Adora and Catra's hands detangle from eachother. Catra hit the ground letting out a small 'oomph'. Bow shook the feline's shoulders and asked, "WHATS THE GENDERR!". Glimmer giggled pulling her fiance off of Catra and said, "Babe, calm down". Bow huffed, pouting like a kid as Catra dusted herself off and sat up.

Colossus helped her up along with Adora before Catra chuckles and says, "Its alright Glimmer" before turning to Adora leaning forward and whispering, "Should we tell them? Or make it a surprise or something?". Adora giggled and whispered back, "Lets not be mean baby, lets tell them. Bow looks like he's about to shart in his pants of anticipation". Catra looked over at Bow, who was bouncing up and down with his face scrunched up.

Catra turned back to Adora and covered her mouth to muffle the laughter that was threatening to spill from her lips. Adora grabbed Catra's chin gently before she pressed a chaste kiss on the feline's soft lips before pulling back along with Catra who had wrapped an arm around Adora's waist pulling the pregnant woman into her side.

"Okay everyone before we tell you, we want your guesses okay?", Adora says a cheeky smirk playing her lips. The five of them groaned before saying, "Fine!". Catra smirked and said, "Okay Bow, Glimmer, and Colossus give us your guesses".

"Boy"

"Girl"

"Boy"

Adora turned to Catra and nodded before turning to Iroh and Colossus and saying, "Okay you two give us your best guesses". Iroh nodded folding his arms against his chest confident in his answer, "A beautiful little princess". Catra snorted at the man's over-confidence before Adora smacked her shoulder and shushed her before turning to Crystela and asking, "What do you think Crystela?". Crystela grinned and said, "A handsome prince".

Catra and Adora hummed, looking at eachother before turning back to their friends and saying, "Those are all good guesses but..." The couple paused causing all of them to lean forward in anticipation before Adora said, "Colossus, Glimmer, and Crystela are right". Bow and Iroh's eyes widen as Colossus, Glimmer, and Crystela let out a loud, 'whoo!' Before pulling the two lovebirds into a tight group hug.

"Congratulations you two!"

"WHOOOOO! CONGRATULATIONS!"

"LETS GOOOOOo!"

Adora and Catra chuckled before Iroh and Bow joined the group hug and yelled, " WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE!".

"Well of course!"

"How could we not?!"

"What are you two planning"

"Dont worry Kitty! Iroh and I have it all planned!"

Catra looked at Adora and said, "Oh dear god, okay Bow". Adora giggled pressing a kiss to her fiancé's cheek and saying, "Im going to go up to our room okay baby?". Catra nodded, taking Adora's hand gently and pressing a kiss to her knuckles and saying softly, "Okay my love, I'll be up there soon".

Adora nodded and let Catra finish her conversation before she retired to her and Catra's room laying on the bed, sighing when her back hit the memory foam mattress before she let the exhaustion in her limbs and muscles reside as she closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.

To be continued.
