(Sorry, always wanted to say that!) Anyway, this chapter is a series of one-shots revolved around Rita's first pregnancy to the one and only, Loki (AKA gender bent Lori)!

Enjoy! ;)

Chapter 1: Beginning of Something Wonderful

1998

Rita paces impatiently back and forth in the lobby of the docter's office, waiting for her test results to give her a straight answer. Since the past month, every given day for her has been a nightmare! She's been sleeping longer than normal, hasn't had her period at the right time, severe back pains and headaches, and worst of all, the vomiting! Each day was a series of constant vomiting and nausea. A spiral of sickness that seemed as if it was infinite, and had no end.

Lynn Sr. would spend every afternoon mopping up Rita's sickening substances on the bathroom floor, while dancing to one of his cheesy disco or British boy band tracks his mother gave him in the 80s. Rita would always crack up at Lynn's silly dance moves. And at the end of the day, he would always put on one of their favorite classics: "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. The uplifting song would always encourage Rita to still have faith to carry on and that things will get better, eventually. Those were the only bright lights in her unforgiving spiral of mishaps called Semptember.

But come October, Rita had enough! She couldn't take the painful illness anymore. She wanted an answer to her miserable crisis and she wanted it as soon as possible.

Rita's POV

After my appointment that day, my doctor, Dr. Myers had called and said my test results would be ready in 4 days and to come to the office and pick them up. I wished they could've been ready while I was at his office earlier. I was so anxious to know what was wrong with me, I didn't want to dare wait another minute.

I came home feeling drowsy, as usual. Lynn was already home, for he had just prepared his infamous goulash for dinner. As soon we sat down at the table, Lynn dug into his meal, while I picked over my plate. I was too anxious to eat. Lynn looked up from his plate and turned to me with a smirk on his face. "Let me guess, still worried about those test results, huh?" I blushed and looked away. I slightly nodded to give him a simple gesture that he was right. "I can't eat just thinking about it," I whispered. Lynn put his hand on his chin and pondered. Then he got up and put his hands on my shoulders. "Why don't we pause dinner and hit the town tonight?" He said to me. My eye grew wide. "Wha-What?!" I stuttered. "Right now?! That's insane!"

"Come on, it'll get your mind off of all this test result madness!" Lynn replied. "We should go to the movies! I heard "The Bride of Chucky" is out, and you know how much we love horror movies." It was true that I did want to see that movie, but the thought of me going out will I was still sick was vaugely impossible. I really wanted to go to sleep instead of taking that risk of going to the movies without vomiting my guts out. But I had been cooped up in the house for so long I DID need to get out of the house for a while. I had no choice but to agree. "Fine," I said, sternly. "But after the movie we're coming straight home!" As Lynn left the room to change his clothes into something comfortable, he turned back at me with a sly grin on his face. "We'll see."

I sighed and gave a weak smile at him as he left. He may be annoying sometimes, but he's my husband. "I love you, Lynn Loud." I murmured to myself as I got up and left the room.

Present Day

4 days had past and it was finally Friday. I rushed me and Lynn to Dr. Myers office. We were right on time. It took a few minutes for him to come out, though. During those few minutes, I paced back and forth, anxious to know what was holding her up. Finally, she came out.

"Mr. and Mrs. Loud, pleasure to see you today!" She said. "The pleasure all ours," I said as we shook her hand. As I was about to ask about the test results, she took the words right out of my mouth. "Test results? I'll tell you them in my room. Follow me."

A few minutes after we got to the room, Dr. Myers sat us down and explained the results.

"Well to be frank, it took a while to figure out what was with your blood sample, but we worked it out and it's a positive!" I was confused. "What does that mean?" I asked.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Loud! Your pregnant!"

"Ohhh, I'm pregnant," I said calmly. But it only took a split second to realize what she had just said. "W-Wait, I'M PREGNANT?!!!" I exclaimed. I felt as if the earth had stopped moving and the world was going to come crashing down on me. Pregnant?! Lynn and I haven't thought about babies since we married two years ago. I didn't want to think about it anymore. I felt as if I was going faint, but Lynn already did that job for me.

Later That Night . . . .

I was still overwhelmed by my surprising pregnancy. Lynn was trying best to calm me down, but he didn't do a very good job so far. "I mean pregnancy, Lynn! I'm only 21 years old. I wasn't expecting to have babies until I was at least over 25." "C'mon, Rita, maybe having a new addition to the family isn't so bad," Lynn replied, as he sat down on the bed with me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Lynn, we just got out of our teenage years. We're practically still kids, and we know NOTHING about parenting!" Lynn sat and stared down for a minute. I looked at him as if I had hurt his feelings. But then he got up and went over the the record player and put a CD in. The music started with a familiar piano opening and the band started singing.

Just a small town girl

Living in a lonely world

"Come on, Rita, it's our song," Lynn cooed. I glared at him. Seriously, I thought.

She took the midnight train

Going annnyywheere

"Rita, have you forgotten? This is our little bundle of joy now. We can't just bail on him/her."

Just a city boy

Born and raised in South Detroit

I looked down when Lynn had said that. I felt guilty that I didn't find the pregnancy a good earlier.

He took the midnight train

Going annnyywheere

I should have been happy for myself.

A singer in a smokey room

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

For us.

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on, and on, and on, and on

We may not know everything about parenting, but we're Rita and Lynn Loud!"

Strangers waiting

Up and down the boulevard

We're a team. And we don't have to be perfect parents. But we can try to be the best parents!"

Their shadows searching in the night

Streetlight people

As long as we have a positive attitude, a smile on our face, a little skip in our step, and faith in God, we can be the best parents this little guy will ever have."

Living just to find emotion

Hiding somewhere in the niiiiiiiiight

Don't stop believing, Rita," Lynn whispered softly in my ear.

Don't stop believing

Hold on to the feeling

I looked into his eyes and smiled at him. I leaned in and passionately kissed him.

Streetlight people

Aaaaoooaaaahhhh

"Then lets be the best parents ever!" I whispered back.

And so began our journey in parenthood.
