Yesss! My 2nd Chapter is up! Now, if anyone happens to come across my fanfiction account or read my story, I would recommend those people check out the first chapter of TSB. And again, if whoever is reading this doesn't like mpreg, they can choose not to read the story at all. This chapter is going to be a lot more exciting because it is longer, because you will get to meet Scarecrow and Tin Man's baby, and most of all, because Dorothy is in it! You are also going to see other characters, such as the Cowardly Lion, the Wizard, and Glinda the good witch. Happy Reading! :)

Chapter 2: A Hybrid is Born

Nine months later, the Wizard took Scarecrow and Tin Man to Dr. Skeleton's office. Scarecrow's stomach was now as large as a full barrel of paint. Dr. Skeleton led Scarecrow and Tin Man to a room set up for delivering babies. Scarecrow got into a bed and Dr. Skeleton prepared him for the delivery as Tin Man watched. "Woah!" said Scarecrow as he tried pushing his baby out. "C'mon, Scarecrow! You can do it!" encouraged Tin Man. Scarecrow pushed a little more and suddenly, the room was filled with a piercing cry. Scarecrow gave birth to a tin boy with straw hair. Dr. Skeleton swaddled the newborn baby in a blanket and handed him to Scarecrow. "Why, this is a miracle! Oh! My baby! He is so beautiful! He looks just like you, Mr. Tin Man! And he has my hair!" said Scarecrow as he was having a bonding moment with his newborn son. A little while later, Scarecrow asked, "What shall we name our little boy?" "Well," said Tin Man, "I was thinking we could name him Tincrow. A mix between our names." "A hybrid." said the Scarecrow, cradling Tincrow, who was now fast asleep. "Well, congratulations you two on your new arrival!" said Dr. Skeleton. "Thanks, Dr. Skeleton! I'll be sure to see you when I have my next baby!" said Scarecrow. "Or if I get pregnant with my baby!" chimed in Tin Man. "Sounds good!" said Dr. Skeleton as he watched Scarecrow and Tin Man leave. On the way back to Emerald City, all that Tin Man and Scarecrow could do was admire their new baby and take turns holding him. "Wait until Mr. Wizard sees Tincrow! He is going to be amazed!" said Scarecrow to Tin Man, who was holding Tincrow. Soon, they arrived at Emerald City, where the Wizard was waiting to greet them. Tin Man was grinning from ear to ear as he said to the Wizard, "We have something wonderful to show you." "Yes, and what may that be?" the Wizard replied. Just then, Scarecrow came in, holding Tincrow, who was now wearing a small set of scarecrow clothing, just like his father who bore him. "Scarecrow, did you really have that child?" the Wizard asked in disbelief. "Or is it just my imagination?" "Why, it's true, sir!" said Scarecrow. "His name is Tincrow. Why don't you hold him for a little while?" He then handed Tincrow to the Wizard. Tincrow began to cry. "Oh, well I never!" said the Wizard, who was actually quite surprised to see that this baby was indeed Tin Man and Scarecrow's offspring. "Your hybrid baby is amazing! Congratulations, you two!" said the Wizard. "Why, thank you very much, Mr. Wizard." said Scarecrow as he and Tin Man prepared to leave.

The arrangement that Scarecrow and Tin Man had agreed upon was that Scarecrow would raise Tincrow, but on the days that Scarecrow needed a break, Tin Man promised he would babysit for him. On their way to Scarecrow's house, they decided to stop by the Cowardly Lion's house to show him their new son. The Cowardly Lion answered their knock on his door with a big, loud, "ROAR!" That got Tincrow's attention and made him start to cry. Scarecrow soothed Tincrow by cradling him gently and hushing him. "Quiet, Mr. Lion! Can't you see we have a baby with us who is trying to sleep?!" said Tin Man. "A baby you say?" said Cowardly Lion. "Yes," said Scarecrow. "And he's right here, snuggled in my arms." He then handed Tincrow over to Cowardly Lion. "Ooh! What is his name?" he asked. "Why, his name is Tincrow." said Scarecrow. "Like Tin Man and Scarecrow's names mixed together!" said the Lion, laughing uncontrollably. "Yes, Mr. Lion." said Scarecrow. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to drop off Tin Man at his house, and then I am going to go on home and live with my baby." "Before you guys leave, could one of you tell me if you've heard anything about Dorothy?" asked the lion. "Well," said Scarecrow, "The Wizard told us that he's looked in on her a few times since she went back to Kansas. He said she's doing well, but she sure misses all of us." "I miss her too!" said Cowardly Lion. "I really miss her also! I wish that she could come back here to Oz and visit all of us." said Tin Man. "Yes, me too!" said Scarecrow. So the three friends all had the same strong wish that Dorothy would come visit them in Oz.

Meanwhile, back in Kansas, Dorothy was sitting in her bedroom, with Toto on her lap. "I wonder when we'll be back in Oz. I would sure like to see my friends there, again." she said. Just then, the tornado came again, sweeping Dorothy and Toto out of and away from their house. It all happened so fast and after the tornado was gone, Dorothy's auntie Em came into Dorothy's room to check on her. "Dorothy? You all right?" she asked. But she discovered that Dorothy's bedroom was all empty. She gasped and ran yelling to her husband. "Henry! Henry! Dorothy's gone! Again!"

Dorothy and Toto wake up, realizing that THEY'RE BACK IN OZ! "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." she said to her little dog, as she had said the first time they came to Oz. Just then, a familiar figure started walking towards her. "Could that be?" Dorothy thought. Much to Dorothy's surprise, yes! It WAS Scarecrow! Dorothy ran to him in excitement. "Scarecrow! It's you!" she said while embracing him. "Why, it's Dorothy!" said the Scarecrow, embracing her back. "I've missed you so much!" said Dorothy, still hugging him. "Yes, my dear. Now follow me. I have something important to show you." said the Scarecrow. They began to walk towards Scarecrow's house, where Tincrow's cries could be heard. "It sounds like a baby." Dorothy said. "Shh! We're not quite there, yet!" whispered Scarecrow. They continued walking until Scarecrow quietly opened his door and ushered Dorothy in. Then Scarecrow went into baby Tincrow's room and came out of the room holding Tincrow to show him to Dorothy. Dorothy gasped, "Is that Tin Man's child?" because she noticed the striking resemblance to Tin Man and when she noticed the baby's straw hair, she said in confusion "Did Tin Man marry your sister? Are you babysitting?" "No. This is me and Tin Man's child. I bore him." Hearing this, Dorothy became shocked. "How- How could you bear a child if you're a man?" she said. "Well, it's true," said Scarecrow. "I went to see the doctor because I thought that I was coming down with the flu, but he told me that I didn't have the flu, and instead that I was pregnant! He couldn't figure out how I could have possibly gotten pregnant, though he did tell me that we do live in a magical land where anything strange could happen." "Oh, Scarecrow! He's wonderful!" said Dorothy as she held Tincrow. "What is his name?" "Why, his name is Tincrow, and he is a hybrid between the Tin Man and I!" said Scarecrow. He then asked Dorothy, "Do you know what a hybrid is?" "Well, until now I thought I knew what a hybrid was." Dorothy replied. The Scarecrow then explained, "I learned that word from my doctor, when he told me that this baby wouldn't be a regular scarecrow. He ran some tests and discovered that the baby was made of tin, and that's when we figured out that Tin Man must be the other father." Later on, Scarecrow, Dorothy, Toto, and Tincrow all went to see Tin Man, the Lion, and the Wizard. They were all happy to see that Dorothy had come back to visit Oz. Later that evening, Scarecrow, Dorothy, Tincrow, and Toto went back to Scarecrow's house. "How's Glinda?" Dorothy asked. "Oh, she's well. I'm sure she would be delighted to see you." said the Scarecrow. "You should show her your new baby." suggested Dorothy. "That is not a bad idea!" said the Scarecrow. After a while, it was time for everybody to go to bed. There was a guest bedroom in Scarecrow's home where Dorothy and Toto slept. Scarecrow and Dorothy said their good nights than were off to bed.

Well, two chapters down, and only one to go. Yep, you heard me right. Only one more chapter of TSB. The next chapter will be very short - only a couple paragraphs - and will quite surprise you because of what Scarecrow does to Tincrow. Don't be alarmed; He doesn't do anything cruel to Tincrow or anything, but he does give Tincrow up for adoption, in which Glinda agrees to look after him (Sorry for the little spoiler alert there! :o) So, the next chapter basically establishes the fact that Tincrow is something of a difficult baby, which explains very well why Scarecrow decided to give him away. Now, I will warn you: The next chapter also contains some potty humor involving Scarecrow, Tincrow, Dorothy, and Toto. If you don't like that either, you don't have to read the next chapter. But if you're all about it, be my guest! Chapter 3 will be up in a few days.
