white collar black wolf: Thank you! :)

Doc's PoV:

Doc woke up the next morning snuggled against Lightning in the trailer, still buried deep inside him. He'd made Lightning come three times the previous night, and the thought made him smirk. As for Doc - well, he'd kept it together well.

Lightning pressed him against the floor of the trailer, exploring all the crevices of Doc's underside with his tongue and then licked his hole, slipping his tongue inside him and wiggling it around and finding all the spots Doc liked. Doc was moaning above him at the feeling of Lightning caressing his insides with his tongue and rubbing him in all the right places, holding his hips in place with his tires so he wouldn't move too much. "Rookie," he whimpered, his eyes fluttering closed and his stomach tightening in warning.

Yep, he'd kept it together perfectly well.

Lightning stirred in his embrace, and Doc smiled, nuzzling closer to him. His lover's eyes fluttered open and he was rewarded with a dazzling smile. "Good morning," Doc said.

"Morning." Lightning gave him a short but sweet kiss as Doc pulled out of him, and the younger racecar moaned into his mouth. "So I was thinking, maybe we should take you to the doctor so we can make sure you actually are pregnant and see if the baby's healthy."

"What, you think I can't do it myself?" Doc smirked.

"No! Not at all, I - I just-" Lightning stammered adorably.

Doc nuzzled him, chuckling. "Relax, Rookie, I'm just messing with you. But that is a good idea."

"I can't believe we're pregnant again," Lightning said, smiling and nuzzling him back. "I love you."

"I love you," Doc agreed, closing his eyes and leaning against his lover.

"Well, I'm glad to hear you two made up," Mack's voice said over the intercom. "Also I'm glad I didn't have to hear it last night. Much of it."

Lightning pulled away and laughed. "Sorry, Mack. I know we had a deal."

"Eh, it's okay. If we're being completely honest, I was expecting it at some point," Mack said.

Doc smiled as he pressed the door opener and the door lowered down. They drove off the ramp, squinting at the sunlight. "Want to go eat breakfast with the others?"

"Sure," Lightning agreed. "I think I owe them an apology, anyway. Especially Smokey."

"Smokey understands," Doc reassured him. They drove to the cabin, and when they entered, the others were eating. It was quite an awkward entrance - Doc and Lightning coming in together, Doc's friends not having known about him and Smokey before yesterday, and hearing it from Lightning instead of Doc, Lightning ashamed about his actions the previous day.

"Hey, you guys are in the paper," Louise said, the first to break the awkward silence that was stretching far too long, in Doc's opinion. She held the paper out to Doc, who drove over to her and took it. LIGHTNING MCQUEEN AND DOC HUDSON ENGAGED? the headlines read.

"Wow, they don't waste any time," Lightning said, reading over Doc's rearview mirror. A source has claimed that Doc Hudson and Lightning McQueen are planning to marry, though a wedding date has not been revealed yet. With their unexpected pregnancy followed by a miscarriage when McQueen had yet another accident, we can certainly understand why they've been putting off their wedding.

"Putting it off?" Lightning repeated. "I'd marry you right now if the wedding was planned."

Doc felt his heart flutter and he smiled to himself as he handed the paper back to Louise. "Well, regardless of the media drama, I think we all need to talk."

"Agreed," they all said in unison, and Doc and Lightning sat down side by side, their tires touching under the table. "So who should start?" River asked.

"Maybe we should start with Doc telling us what's been going on with him and Smokey," Junior said, and Doc winced. He already felt bad enough.

"I'm sorry," Doc said. "I've always been really private about my love life. My relationship with Lightning is entirely new territory for me." Underneath the table, Doc squeezed Lightning's tire with his own, and felt a rush of relief when Lightning squeezed back. "Louise knew how I felt for Smokey, but I didn't even know that Smokey returned my feelings until yesterday. But that doesn't make a difference. I should have told my friends if there was someone that special in my life." Smokey turned red at that.

"Have you kissed?" River asked him.

"We have," Doc admitted. "Once, many years ago when I was still living here. But not since."

"Were you dating?" Junior asked.

"No, we weren't," Doc replied honestly. "He turned me down after I kissed him. And nothing's happened between us since."

"So you kissed him?" Louise asked. "He didn't kiss you?"

"He kissed me," Smokey confirmed, and Doc smiled at him gratefully. Smokey, out of all cars, knew that Doc didn't like sharing this kind of stuff.

"Anyways, I really want to say how sorry I am for what I said yesterday," Lightning intervened, taking the spotlight off of Doc and Smokey. Doc nuzzled him. "You guys are great. I'm just jealous that you have so much history with Doc."

"What are you talking about, boy?" Smokey asked him. "You and Doc have history, too."

"Yeah, you have the perfect love story," Louise added helpfully, and the others chuckled. "I'm jealous of you two, if anything. I wish I had that with someone."

Lightning smiled. "Well, thanks guys."

"I was thinking," Doc said, and they all turned to him. "Why don't we have the wedding in Radiator Springs, and you guys can come?"

"Sounds like a great idea," Smokey agreed, and Louise, Junior, and River all nodded.

"What do you think?" Doc asked his lover. "Sounds like home, right?"

"It sounds perfect." Lightning nuzzled him, and Doc had never been happier.

Lightning's PoV:

Later that day, as they were cleaning up dinner, Lightning went up to Smokey. "Hey, I'm sorry I got so upset yesterday," he said. "I didn't have a right to encroach on your and Doc's relationship."

"You were worried," Smokey said. "I get that. You love him. But thank you," he said, and Lightning smiled. "I would never try to encroach on your relationship with him, just so you know. And I swear, nothing happened between us while you were passed out from shock."

"Thank you, Smokey," Lightning said, laughing at the last part. "I just can't believe Doc and I are pregnant."

"You two deserve it," Smokey said. "Take care of him, alright?"

"Of course," Lightning agreed. "Always."

After dinner, he went out by himself to call his friends back home in the trailer and then wander around town. He stopped to get a drink at the bar and grill down the road and talk to some of the townsfolk. When he got back, he found Smokey and Doc asleep together on the couch in front of a movie, and he smiled, throwing a blanket over them. Doc nuzzled closer to Smokey, and Lightning went upstairs to give them their time alone. He and Doc had the rest of their lives to be together.

On his way up the stairs, however, Lightning suddenly felt dizzy and short of breath. Panicking, he raced back downstairs and tripped over himself on the last step, trying to wake up Smokey and Doc, but passed out before he could reach them.
