"Pssstt Gladstone. I'm hungry." Magica whispered over his shoulder. Her messy black hair fell over him like waterfall.
"Mmmmm…what time is it?" He groaned, pulling the blanket over him.
"It's only 1:38 in the morning …I don't see what the time has to do with be being hungry." She whined.
"Magica please don't make me go out to the store in the middle of the night."
She pinched him hard in the ribs, causing Gladstone to squeal and roll out of the bed. He fell to the ground. "Why did you do that for?"
He sat up on the floor and rubbed the sore spot where she pinched.
"Gladstone. I am hungry. I am pregnant. And if you remember correctly, it is your fault." She pouted, sitting cross legged on the bed. Her generously sized bump was cradled in her legs.
"How is it my fault? Technically your birth control potion thingy failed!" He stuck a finger at her.
"Excuse me? You're the 'Luckiest Guy in the World.' Your luck got me pregnant."
Gladstone let out a high pitched gasp. "Well you kissed me in Italy!"
"You liked me first and teamed up with Rosolio to see if I liked you!" She stuck her tongue at him.
"You kissed me when you were drunk!"
Magica sneered. "You tried to kiss me when you were drunk!"
"You asked to live with me!"
"I was trying to get away from my grandmother! You didn't have to pop by my cottage in Italy all the time!"
"That's my luck, and you know it!"
"Then it's your fault I'm pregnant!" She laughed to herself and smiled smugly at him.
Gladstone crossed his arms and poured. His face lit up with a thought. "It's all your fault you know."
"Excuse me?"
"Matilda?" He smiled a toothy smile at the witch. Her face went red in an instant. Gladstone burst into laughter, watching Magica's face accept defeat.
"You're an asshole." She threw a pillow at him. A smile formed on the corner of her beak. Gladstone got up and scooped her in his arms and kissed her.
"But you love me." He said nuzzling into her neck.
"Shut up." She struggled to free herself from his arms.
"Say it back or I won't get you food." He kissed her all over her cheeks. She strained out a giggle.
"Just drop it already!" She yelled, squeezing a hand between his face and hers. He stood up and held her face in his hands.
"Say you love me."
Magica rolled her eyes. "I love you. There."
He kissed her forehead and smiled. "Now, what do you want to eat?"
Magica looked down at her tummy. "Popcorn."
"Oh…well that's easy-"
"And strawberries. With whipped cream."
Gladstone nodded. "Alright. That seems easy-"
"And I want that Sriracha stuff on the popcorn too." She licked her lips in hunger.
"Magica. You can't have spicy. You got heartburn last time."
"Well then, can I just…sniff the bottle?"
Gladstone looked at her in confusion. "Anything else?"
"Spaghetti. Like just some noodles in a butter sauce with garlic and cheese."
Gladstone stares at her in disbelief. Magica shrugged. "I told you I was hungry."
"You know you're gonna have to come out to eat if I make all that." Gladstone sighed. He took her hand and helped her off the bed. "Any thing else, else?"
Magica pondered as they walked out the room and down the hall into the kitchen. She saw the small kettle on the stove. "A cup of tea would be nice."
Lena got up out of her bed and walked out into the living room. Magica leaned back into the couch, Gladstone's head resting on her lap. His head was touching her belly bump. Magica presses a finger to her lips and pointed to the sleeping goose. She ran her fingers through his hair and smiled.
Lena pantomimed herself gagging. They both laughed silently, until a look of pain and shock flew onto Magica's face.
"Cazzo…what the hell?" Magica clutched her stomach.
Gladstone woke up in a panic. "What happened? Are you okay? What's wrong?" His big green eyes stared at her, fear growing behind them.
"I don't know, I just felt everything move…like the egg just rolled or something."
Gladstone ran to the bookcase and flipped through a book. He stopped on a page and took the book to Magica. He sat down beside her. "It's a rotation. Sometimes the egg will roll or move when the baby inside kicks or shifts position. Especially when you are getting closer to the due date."
Magica and Lena raised an eyebrow at Gladstone. "What?" He asked. "Does it make sense?"
"It does…" Magica took the book and looked at the cover. "I'm just surprised that you…"
"You bought a pregnancy book? God, you nerd!" Lena laughed. Magica stifled a small giggle.
Gladstone crossed his arms and sneered at the teen. "Well excuse me for not wanting to be uninformed!" He stood up and snatched his book from Magica. Gladstone walked off into the kitchen, cursing to himself as he began washing the dishes from Magica's midnight meal.
Lena winked at her aunt and went into the kitchen. Magica looked into the kitchen from her seat and watched as Gladstone yelled at Lena for grabbing new dishes while he was cleaning. She giggled at the sight of him.
Magica felt another movement in her stomach and looked at her belly. She traced her fingers on the curve of the egg, and smiled contently as she leaned back and closed her eyes.
A/N: Okay so like...how do ducks be preggo here? I don't know, so I'm making my own idea:
Duck momma gets preggo and bears the egg for like, 5 months? And then she lays/labors the egg out and waits like 3 months or so for the egg to hatch. I'm trying to combine human stuff with ducks, cause they're anthropomorphic characters. As for "rotations," think of them as a combination of contractions and when the baby kicks. The baby in the egg moves, rolling the egg inside the duck momma. Kinda preparing the mom for the egg to come out like when the baby moves their head down.
Idk if it makes sense, but thats what I'm going with.
