"I still don't get why I couldn't come with you to Revonnah to tell your parents." Rook sighed at he listened to his boyfriend over the radio speaker. "Your grandfather told you no space travel while you are pregnant. It could have negative effects on the baby." Ben, who was chilling out on his bed, groaned. "But I'm so bored! No one will let me do anything! My mom won't even let me leave the house without someone with me."
"Well with the omnitrix locked you are left defenceless. She does not want you getting attacked without some form of help." Ben sighed and stared at the ceiling. "So how did your family take the news? Did your Dad blow up? And before you ask, yes it's an expression." Rook nodded. "Ah, my Father was not pleased at all, but after my Mother talked to him he accepted it. Young One was very excited to become an uncle. They are planing on coming to Earth When the baby is due."
Ben smiled at that, the a question popped up. "What are we going to name the kid anyways?" Rook thought that over for a minute. "Well I do not mind naming it after Gwen if it is a girl, but I am not sure about the name if it is a boy." Ben shrugged, even though Rook couldn't see. "Yeah, me neither. We'll probably think of something at the last minute."
"So how have you been feeling today?" Ben sighed and rubbed his stomach."Okay ish. I had pancakes and a leftover smoothie for breakfast, threw that up, fell asleep while watching Sumo Slammers, and my Mom found a few boxes full of all my baby stuff. She said you and I can look through them later when you get back." Rook smiled. "That is very kind of your Mother."
"Yeah but I think she's getting a little ahead about this. She's already talking about babyshowers." Rook looked at his radio in confusion. "Is that some form of celebration when you bath the baby?" Rook could hear his boyfriend laugh. "No dude it's when you throw a party and buy the parents things for the baby." "Then why do they call it a shower?" Ben thought for a moment. "I have no idea, I'll have to look that up later. Hurry back soon okay Fuzzy Butt? If I'm going to suffer through all the throwing up and hormones I want you by my side."
Rook chuckled. "Do not worry, I will be there in a few hours. Hang ten Ben." Ben resisted the urge to facepalm. "Hang tight. Love ya." "Love you too." After that the two boys hung up.
A few hours later Ben and Rook were digging through a few boxes labeled "Ben's Baby Clothes/Toys". Rook held up green footy P.J.'s "Was green always your favorite color?" Ben shrugged while he stuffed his hand in the toy box. "My mom thought I looked cute when my clothes matched my eyes." He pulled out a clown doll and immediately dropped it. "JEEZ! Why do I have that?!" Rook picked it up. "No wonder you developed a fear of clowns. This doll has a rather creepy smile."
Ben grumbled and stuck his hand back in the box. "You have my permission to use that thing as target practice." Ben pulled out another doll, this time it brought a smile to his face. "Oh I remember this one, Grandpa Max gave it to me." The doll in his hand greatly resembled a Galvan wearing a space suit. "I use to call it a frog from the moon." Rook chuckled. "How cute."
After looking through the boxes a little more, they decided to take a break. The two Plumbers were sitting on Ben's bed while watching T.V. , Ben was using Rook's chest as a pillow. "Your armor is surprisingly comfortable. No wonder you wear it 24/7." Rook smiled and put his arm around Ben. "I have no idea what 24/7 means, but thank you." Halfway through the show they were watching Rook noticed Ben lightly snoring and snuggling up to Rook to stay warm.
Not wanting him to get cold Rook grabbed a near by blanket and put it over his love and gave him a kiss on the head. Not long after Rook fell asleep with Ben in his arms.
