Hi all! I've been lurking for quite a while, and I thought I'd post something myself, since I have the writing bug! I hope you like. It's going to be a fuzzy Dr K/Ziggy mpreg fic.

Doing It For You

The sunniest day in forever was shining down on the couple coming out of the hospital, which was too bad, because woman of the couple was frowning.

"Don't worry, Kay," the man said, brushing a curly lock out of his face. "Just because you can't have kids doesn't mean that we're not going to have any." He tried to keep things happy and cheerful for her, because she'd been through so much in her life. Heck, she didn't even have a real name, which was a problem when it came time to marry, but it didn't bother him! They'd found one, the two of them had gotten married, and as far as Ziggy Grover was concerned, he had the best life in what remained of the world.

His wife, and former mentor, fixed him with a frown that he'd mostly seen on her in the olden days, when he'd been new to Rangering and the whole defending the city thing, and not quite willing to put his life on the line for Corinth. Actually, she'd frowned at him a lot during his time as a Ranger, but that didn't matter. She'd fallen in love with him in the end, hadn't she? That had made it all worth it.

She didn't want to have kids, really, but she saw the advantage of passing on her genes. He was the one that wanted a family, and lots of kids to take care of. Yes, they had the school, but they didn't have kids of their own.

And if he had to be the one to give birth to them, hell, he didn't mind! Kay deserved a big, long break after everything that had happened to her, and everything that she'd done to save the world. Just because guys normally left the childbearing to women didn't mean that they didn't have the apparatus; it was just a lot easier for women to give birth.

"You are not precisely designed for a pregnancy," she pointed out.

"Nope! But I'll do it." He really didn't want her to change her mind on the kid thing, which she still could do. It had taken a lot of his charm and flattering to get her to agree to even thinking about having a family, after all that had happened to her. He suspected that having a normal life was the thing that got to her. That, and he promised to take care of the childcare while she worked. "It might take some in-vitro stuff, but…."

He knew that if anyone would be able to get their in-vitro paid for, it was the two of them. He wasn't the only one that wanted Kay to have a kid, he was just the one who genuinely cared about her. And wanted the kid to have as normal a life as possible. Did it really matter, in the end, who was the mommy?

"You are aware that carrying my child will subject you to a lot of scrutiny." She looked over at him as if he hadn't thought things through. But he had! He was good at thinking on his feet, and he was really, really good at avoiding things. Well, he'd never had to dodge nosy scientists, doctors, and military personnel who wanted to make sure Kay had healthy kids, but he figured he'd get it right fast.

"Yeah, but I'm the one that wants the kid in the first place. I'm the one that's going to care for them. I might as well be the one that has it." It certainly made sense to him, even if it didn't make sense to her. But he was aware he'd gotten really lucky that they'd met and fell in love, and he'd do almost anything for her. Even illegal things.

He wanted to make her smile, that was it. He wanted to see her eyes alight with the idea that she could have a normal life, it was a good thing for her, and that she'd be happy this way. He'd be the one who played with the kid, and she could pretend to be what she'd never gotten to be, with the way she'd been raised in that creepy facility and all.

She looked at him and let out a breath that might have been a sigh. "I expect you to behave in a manner that allows the child to be born healthy."

"Hey, I eat healthy," he protested. "I eat healthier than you do." That may not have been the world's wisest thing to say, he realized after a second, but at least he hadn't done something really stupid and said the word "spandex" in her presence.

"While I realize that you do maintain healthy eating habits, and indeed did when you were a Ranger, such a pregnancy would no doubt be a strain on your system." He wasn't surprised that she felt she had to point this out, because it would be a strain on him. It wasn't something he looked forward to, and he'd never even think of having a child for anybody else but her.

"It's worth it." Sure, they'd have to talk to someone who knew how to in-vitro on a guy, but he was willing to do it. Plus, it wasn't like he didn't know that there was some pressure on Kay to have a kid, especially since she had a husband. He wanted to get rid of that stress on her.

She glanced up at him with a look that said that she doubted his sanity, but that wasn't at all weird. She doubted his sanity a lot. He'd just have to convince her that him carrying the child was the best thing in the world for them. He'd do it. Because they should be a normal family.

And if he had any doubts, he'd never tell her, because he didn't want her to worry. Or get sick trying to find a solution. He swore when they got married that he'd do his best not to cause her problems, and he was going to hold to it.
