Hardships

Labor

*5 Months Later*:

Adora and Catra slept in their bed together, until the sun peeked in through the curtains of their window before Catra woke up and looked over at Adora, whos hair was draped on her pillow. Her hair looked like an angel's halo when the sun hit it just right, and her skin shone golden and thats when Catra caught a glimpse of her fiancé's beautiful baby bump.

In their five months together, Catra and Adora had been receiving baby gifts for when their son is born. With each month that had passed, Adora's belly and temper grew which wasnt much of a deal for Catra, most of the times Adora got pissy with her were because she was hungry or tired. On days where Adora was hungry she would prepare Adora's favorite craving food which was: Macaroni and Cheese which was normal. But Adora had gotten this weird obsession with honey and so she would ask Catra to just drizzle some honey over her Mac and Cheese. Catra being the loving fiancé she was would give Adora what she wanted. And on days where Adora would just be tired, she would pick the woman up and walk her over to their bed and tuck her in.

Adora would feel bad the next day because she knew how much work Catra had been through that day being the ruler of a whole planet. There were times where she would find Catra awake at 4am working on paperwork and complaints from the people, and there were some times where Adora would find Catra slumped against the desk in their room. Adora always thought she had been adding to the work Catra had to do because of her cravings, cramps, small bladder, and mood swings but Catra was always there to tell Adora to stop being so silly and tell her that she would always be by her side. Even through the construction work for Tendūjī and the cities and villages Kade destroyed in his reign, and the overwhelming amounts of paperwork and complaints.. Catra had never changed when it came to Adora and her friends.

================================

Catra sighed, leaning over and putting her hand on Adora's belly flinching when Adora groaned. Damn this metal arm. Catra mentally scolded herself before she was met with Adora's cerulean eyes. "You know its rude to stare babe"  Adora says groggily, a cheeky smile playing on her lips as Catra's cheeks started to heat up. Catra chuckles sheepishly and and retracts her hand, using it scratch the back of her neck and say, "G-Goodmorning bab-" before Adora cut her off with a chaste kiss on the lips.

Catra sighed and pulled back, to see Adora's loving gaze on her. Catra smiled and asked, "How are you feeling baby?". Adora hummed, scooting over to Catra and laying her head on her chest before saying, "Im feeling good". Catra quirked a tentative brow and asked, "Are you sure? you can tell me if you dont feel good okay baby?". Adora chuckles, pulling back a bit to look at Catra before pressing a kiss to Catra's cheek and said softly, "You're adorable baby, but yes Im sure I feel good". Catra smiled and wrapped her arm around Adora's back, putting her hand on Adora's belly and hummed, "Im so excited to meet him Adora..".

Adora smiled and placed her hand over Catra's, interlacing their fingers together and said softly, "I am too Catra, I wonder if he'll look like you just with my eyes or if he'll look like me with your eyes". Catra smirked, pressing a kiss to Adora's temple and said cheekily, "If he looks like me,  we're going to have to have body guards because of all the fan girls he'll have". Adora rolled her eyes and chuckled, flicking Catra's nose and saying, "You're cute babe". Catra beamed and said, "I know!".

Adora smirked and turned to Catra and gasped, "Oh my god! Did you just admit to you being cute?!". Catra pouted and muttered, "No...". Adora started poking Catra's cheek and babbling, "Awhhh, what a cute wittle baby! So fwustered". Catra groaned and wiggled away from Adora when the one and only Bow broke through the door exclaiming, "SUP BITCHESSSS! I GOT NEWWWSSSS!".

Catra sighed and stood up, walking over to Bow and wrapped her arm around his shoulder and asked with a smirk, "What is it Bowie? You finally finally learned how to please in bed?hmm, you learned how to fight..? OH I know I know! You finally grew some inches...? If you know what I mean..?". Adora snorted, clasping her hand over her mouth to suppress the laughter bubbling in her throat. Bow pouted and shoved Catra off playfully and said, "No... fuck you man that's low". Catra laughed and said, "AHA! Just like your dick! Ya shortstack".
