Author's Notes:
While I was writing One Night Only, I was toying with the idea of making Alan pregnant as well. I decided that would be too much and wrote this piece instead.
The italics are a few key moments leading up to the events in the piece, they add a little context and break up the chunks of text a little.
The OC is Susan Humphries, Alan's mother. She is a doctor, specializing in Obstretics. She belongs to me, no using her without permission
I hope you enjoy this, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it is mine.

Warning: Mpreg and graphic childbirth. Part 1:
Alan looked around the stark white doctor's office, the room silent save for the ticking clock and steady drip of the nearby tap. He sighed and turned to his left, resting his head on Eric's shoulder. Eric wrapped his arm around him, hugging him tightly. Ronald took Alan's hand, squeezing it gently,
"Not much longer, Allie" he whispered "Not much longer",
The door to the office opened, Alan, Eric and Ronald looked up as the doctor walked in. He walked to his desk and sat down, placing a brown folder in front of him. He opened the folder and took out a piece of paper,
"Mr Humphries, your test results are in" he said, looking up and smiling at Alan "Congratulations, you're pregnant".
Eric stared at the silver pocket watch in his hand, his eyes following the minute hand as it ticked around the numbers. Ronald looked over at him, remaining silent as the older reaper timed. Alan was laid upon the bed, holding each of his companions' hands. He frowned and started shifting a little, breathing deeply. Ronald quickly moved closer to him, stroking his hair gently. Eric looked up as he felt the grip on his hand tighten. He closed the watch with a snap,
"Another one?" he asked. Alan nodded, closing his eyes and blowing out slowly through his mouth. He let go of Ronald's hand and wrapped it around his swollen belly, supporting it from the underneath. His other hand held Eric's tightly, his grip the only indicator of how much pain he was in. He lent forward a little, feeling the pain moving up his spine. Ronald moved closer to him, rubbing his back to try and help. Alan breathed deeply, relaxing as the contraction passed,
"They're getting worse" he said, panting ever so slightly "How far apart now?".
Eric checked his watch carefully,
"About fifteen minutes" he said "A little shorter than last time". Alan sighed, feeling frustrated. This whole ordeal was tiring. He had been labouring for most of the day and he wasn't getting anywhere. The baby wasn't even due for another few weeks, even though Alan's bump was fairly big. He sighed again, rubbing his belly. Eric watched Alan, wishing he could help him. He gently stroked Alan's knuckles with his thumb,
"Do you want to try walking around a bit?" he asked "It might help". Alan nodded and started to carefully shift himself towards the edge of the bed. Eric let go of his hand and walked around, helping Alan to stand. Ronald walked to Alan's other side, supporting him as well. They waited until he was comfortable and set off at a slow pace, taking him around the bedroom and out into the hallway. Alan lent on Eric and Ronald gratefully as they walked. He paused suddenly, biting his lip as he felt the next contraction build up. He let out a little whimper; Eric quickly moved to stand in front of him, letting him lean upon his shoulders. Alan whimpered again, rocking his hips gently to ease the pain. Ronald took his hands, rubbing them until he relaxed again. Slowly, they resumed walking. Eric carefully took out his watch and clicked it open,
"Twelve minutes" he said "You're doing well".
Alan watched the doctor as he set up the ultrasound equipment. He smiled, rubbing his bump gently. He'd grow a lot in the last four months, his stomach becoming more round and swollen. The doctor approached him, rolling up his sleeves,
"Unbutton your shirt, Mr Humphries" he said. Alan complied, shivering when the doctor squirted gel upon his tummy. Ronald took his hand, smiling gently. Eric took Alan's other hand, lifting it to his lips and kissing it,
"I love you, Allie" he said "Thank you for doing this wonderful thing for us". Alan blushed deeply, smiling. Ronald smiled as well and leaned over, kissing Alan on his cheek. A sudden whooshing noise caught their attention, they turned to the doctor. He was moved the ultrasound probe gently on Alan's stomach, studying the black and white image carefully. Alan frowned, fear washing over him,
"Is something wrong?" he asked. The doctor shook his head, smiling,
"Everything is absolutely fine" he said "You're expecting twins".
The trio paced around for the next few hours, walking through the bedroom and hallway many times. Alan was starting to walk a little bow legged, evidence that the baby seemed to be dropping. He paused more and more frequently, becoming more vocal as his contractions increased. He lent heavily on Eric as he was seized by his latest contraction, almost doubled over as he groaned,
"E-Eric…." He panted "R-Ronnie….it's hurts!" his breath hitched as the contraction peaked; his knees began to buckled a little. Eric frowned, doing his best to try and help. Alan's contractions were coming almost every five minutes; Eric figured it wouldn't be long until his water finally broke. He carefully coaxed Alan back to the bed with Ronald's help, hoping he would be more comfortable if he lay down again. Alan yelped sharply as his waters broke all over the floor. He groaned and grabbed the edge of the bed as his knees gave way, forcing him to squat. Ronald knelt down next to him, squeezing his hand tightly,
"Breathe Allie, breathe" he said, once again rubbing the smaller reaper's back. Alan rested his head on Ronald's shoulder, panting and moaning. Ronald looked up at Eric, not sure what they should do. Eric tried to get Alan to his feet, the smaller reaper resisted, shaking his head,
"C-Can't move…hurts too much…" he groaned loudly "Feeling pressure…..". He grunted, squeezing his eyes shut and gripping the bed sheets between his fingers. He gasped as the contraction finally ended, letting out the breath he didn't realize he had been holding. Eric let him catch his breath and gently helped him to his feet. Alan lent against him, grateful when he was helped back on the bed. He lay back on the pillows, his legs spreading involuntarily. Eric took his hand, squeezing it as he moved the damp hair from Alan's forehead,
"I'm going to call your mom, alright?" he said "I'll be right back" he kissed Alan's cheek and quickly left the room, searching for the phone. Alan closed his eyes, panting tiredly. Ronald fetched a cool wash cloth and gently dabbed Alan's forehead,
"Would you like something to drink, Allie?" he asked. The smaller reaper shook his head, keeping his eyes closed. He tugged at his pants, trying to undo his belt. His skin was covered with sweat, making his clothes feel sticky and clingy. Ronald placed the cloth on the bedside table and carefully undid Alan's pants, sliding them off and dropping them on the floor. Alan opened his eyes and looked up at Ronald, panting and smiling in appreciation. He winced and grabbed Ronald's hand, gritting his teeth as he felt a contraction building up. His bump clenched painfully, he shifted around uncomfortably as the pressure on his hips and pelvis increased. Ronald frowned deeply, worried about his lover. He carefully climbed onto the bed, sitting in front of Alan,
"Here Allie" he said, softly "Lean on me"
The smaller reaper carefully shifted onto his knees and wrapped his arms around Ronald's neck, like he was hugging him. He rested his head on the other reaper's shoulder, breathing heavily. He cried out suddenly, arching his back as the next contraction hit him without warning. Ronald held him tightly, rocking him from side to side,
"Sssh Allie, I'm here" he said, rubbing circles on Alan's back "I'm always here",
"Susan's on her way" said Eric, as he returned to the bedroom. He climbed onto the bed and sat behind Alan, rocking him along with Ronald. Alan whimpered, tears welling up in his eyes. Eric carefully wrapped his arms around the smaller reaper's bump, shocked by how hard it felt, how tight the muscles were. Alan arched his back suddenly, squeezing his eyes shut and crying out as his belly clenched. Eric held him tighter; he could feel the smaller reaper shaking,
"I know it hurts Allie, but I'm right here with you, we both are" he said, looking at Ronald "Breathe with me, breathe through the pain". He began to breathe in a steady rhythm, in through his nose and out through his mouth. Alan whimpered and shifted a little, trying to copy Eric's breathing. Ronald stroked the smaller reaper's hair softly, kissing his cheek,
"You're doing really well Allie, me and Eric are so proud of you" he said, massaging Alan's hips "Your mom will be here soon, I promise",
"Already here, loves". The trio looked up as Susan entered the room, placing her bag of supplies on the floor,
"M-Momma…." Alan looked up at Susan, his deep breathing turning into pants. Susan scooped her hair into a loose ponytail and hurried over to her son,
"I'm here darling" she said. She sat on the edge of the bed, positioned between Alan's legs. Ronald carefully moved to the side so she could check the smaller reaper. Gently, she placed her hand on Alan's inner thigh,
"I'm going to check you darling, just relax, alright?" she said. Alan nodded weakly, panting rapidly as a contraction started to build. He gripped Eric's hands and moaned loudly, the need to push overwhelming. Eric looked up at Susan with a pleading expression, concern and fear for Alan all over his face. Susan waited until the contraction had passed and quickly took the opportunity to check Alan. She smiled, looking up at her son,
"You're ready to deliver" she said, happily "Are you comfortable as you are or do you want to try a different position?"
"….f-floor…." panted Alan "…..a-all fours….". He started to shift; Susan and Eric helped him down from the bed and onto the floor. Ronald laid out a blanket and several towels; Alan knelt on them gratefully and lowered himself onto his hands. He rocked slowly back and forth, closing his eyes and moaning quietly. Eric knelt in front of him, letting him lean his hands on his thighs. Ronald sat to the side and gently rubbed his back, trying to soothe his pain. Alan tensed, his moaning growing louder and louder. He arched his back, lowering his head and pushing as the contraction peaked. Susan knelt just behind him so she could monitor the baby's progress,
"Good, darling" she said "Keep pushing exactly like that, nice and strong".
