"WHAT!?" almost all say in unison

"But that is impossible, he's a guy!"

"…And also a spirit. Now look, I'm still not quite sure how this actually happened, but I know that he'll need all the help he can get. His will not be any normal mortal pregnancy, because he's male, and an immortal spirit. Also I would like to come back every now and then to check up on him." She was about to walk out of the room and out of the factory when she was stopped by Tooth's hand on her shoulder.

"Aren't you going to leave us with some tips, you know, something to make sure we're taking good care of him and that there's nothing wrong with him."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot." She then materialized a book in her hands and gave it to the flustered fairy. Tooth read the title aloud, "What to Expect When Expecting."

"That should warn you of some of the things to be expected from Jack in the near future." With that she faded in to a gust of wind and leaves.

"Well I guess we should start reading this" Tooth cracked open the book to the first page, the intro

"Congratulation on conceiving a future little boy or girl. This book will show any worried father or curious family members what to expect in a women's pregnancy. The first rule is, don't panic, after reading this book you will have a full understanding of what your wife or family member is going through." Tooth stopped when she heard a moan from Jack as he rolled over.

"We should probably continue this outside." North said leading them out of the room and towards their normal conference Room, he only looked back once at Sandy who was wishing up a perfect dream for Jack, then a golden snowflake floated above his head as jack smiled in his sleep.

….

Once at the conference room, they practically huddled around the book as North turned the pages and read each aloud. They almost sneered in horror at the chapter about birth and closed the book frantically. Then they all looked at each other, waiting for someone to speak.

"Poor Guy" muttered Bunny under his breath.

"Yeah, how do women do all of this a still are able to walk by the end of it." North stared down at the table. Then looked over to Tooth, whose face was a nice shade of red.

Sandy caught their attention with symbols of baby carriages, rattles, and bottles.

"Sandy is right we need to start preparing for what is to come." North stood up."We need to start gathering all the supplies we need for this child to be safe. It's late so we shall start tomorrow.

"What are we stating tomorrow?" The voice of a familiar Ice spirit came from the door, to which all guardians turned to look.

"Jack- you're awake?"asked Tooth. She fluttered over to jack and helped the unstable teen to a seat.

"Now what's this all safety of a child about?" He said obliviously still very faint.

"Oh um, yes… Jack you see a-" Tooth was stopped by North who said.

"Um there was a child in desperate need for our help, so we were planning to go and fix the problem." North said

"Oh, cool what time do we leave tomorrow?" he asked leaning back in the chair.

"Oh um Jack we can't really bring you alo-" Tooth was interrupted again by North

"What she meant to say was you have to stay here with Tooth and guard the factory." He remarked with a big fake innocent smile.

"Um ok, but why do we have to do that?"

"Because I'm am taking the yeti's with me, this is simply not a three man job, and if someone comes to take over then who'll protect it." He spread another large toothy grin.

"Okay whatever you say." he shrugged it off and walked out of the room.

"Why didn't you tell him?! He's going to get suspicious, North" She whispered

"Well he's in a weak state from this whole thing. Maybe he might not take it well if we tell him now, in that confusion he might not want to keep them." He said hushed and serious

"Ok I get that part, but you're not really taking all the yeti with you, right?"

"Of course not" He chuckled "I'm giving them the day off. Now you just keep an I on him. Maybe float a little behind him and help him if needed." She nodded and left trying to catch up with Jack who was half way to his room that was given to him back when North heard he slept usually in trees.

….

Tooth flew behind jack secretly on his way to his room. She studied him carefully and lowed her wing beats to and hummingbird bird pace. He wobbled most of the way, sometimes leaning up against the wall for support as he walked. At one point he looked as if he might fall, and Tooth nearly shot after him, but stopped when he caught himself.

Once they made it to his room, she dismissed herself and flew over to a guest room close to his. Even after closing the door she still worried for him. She thought about the troubles he might face, and the thoughts she'd rather keep in the back of her mind. Then she fell asleep with that worry still buzzing in her head like a killer bee, waiting to sting only when something truly bad happens.

Thanks for waiting!
