A/N: This is a mix of two prompts and their origin story, which is actually kinda angst-y and I ship my oc Skylar with all the Spetsnaz fellas. The prompts are "does he know about the baby?" and "I never meant to hurt you". This was also gonna be one huge one-shot but decided against it and went with four parts. And this is my first time writing Fuze as a main character so I'm not sure how well this will do overall. I hope you enjoy!


When Skylar and Fuze first slept together they were both drunk and wanted to blow off some steam after a treacherous mission. It wasn't meant for more than that, just sex. Then they found themselves going back to each other, and their relationship changed from friends to friends with benefits.

It was good though, and the more nights they spent together, the closer they got.

But then something that shouldn't have happened, happened. Skylar was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom she shares with Ash, looking down on a positive pregnancy test. She felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest, and stepped on. They never talked about kids, because their relationship was never meant to be serious. Now Skylar felt lost, and unsure of what to do.

Will Fuze even be happy about this? Or will he freak?

The tears started to well in her eyes, and her hands started to shake. The tears blurring her vision as she looked down at the word 'pregnant', a word that brings so many women happiness, she wished she could feel that way. Happy, happy about the child she was now carrying. But she couldn't, all she felt was sadness and uncertainty.

She was still young, unsure if she would be a good mother, and unsure if she could be a mom and still work. She didn't want to retire just yet. Zofia managed to do both, be a mother and work, maybe Skylar could do the same?

There was a knock at the door, startling Skylar, she quickly wiped her eyes and shoved the pregnancy test into her pocket.

"Sky, you alright in there? It's been nearly thirty minutes."

She got up, opening the bathroom door. "Yeah I'm fine. I didn't realize it's been that long."

Ash scanned her face, her own face softened and a hand came up and gently grabbed her arm. "You've been crying Sky, you can tell me if anything is wrong."

Her hand reached into her pocket, touching the plastic shell of the test, just the touch of it made her want to cry. She took a deep breath and walked away to sit down on Ash's bed. Ash quickly followed and sat down beside her, noticing how upset she looked she took Skylar's hand and held it between hers.

"I'm pregnant Ash and I don't know what to do!" She looked over at her with tear filled eyes. Pleading. "I don't even know if I want this child."

Skylar pulled out the positive test from her pocket, handing it over to her. She took it from Skylar's hand and looked down at it.

Ash glanced over to Skylar, then down at the test. She wasn't sure how to help with this, a pregnancy was a lot different from her normal day to day life. And in the end it will be Skylar's decision on what she wants to do. "Do you want to go see Doc? To make sure it's a viable pregnancy, this might be a false positive."

She thought that was the best option, and she wanted to ease her worries even if she might actually be pregnant.

Skylar took a deep breath, wiping her eyes. "Yeah I think that's a good idea. Not yet, I want to look like I haven't been crying."

"Okay." She handed her the test back, watch Skylar take it and look down on it. "Hey, even if you are you'll make a great mom."

"You really think so?" She looked over at her and sniffled. "I don't know anything about babies."

That was the one thing that scared her, no experience with kids. How would she know she was doing the right thing? Or know if she's feeding her child enough? She knows a lot of women say your maternal instincts kick in once you have a child, but what if hers don't? Or they come in later than expected? Having a child is a huge responsibility and she doesn't want to mess that child up.

"Yes! So what if you don't know anything about babies, there are books and you can always ask your mom for help. Fuze, who knows how he'll be as a father."

"That's what I'm worried about."

Ash sighed as Skylar looked down at the floor, now wishing she could take back what she said about Fuze. She didn't even know how Fuze would react to this, for all she knows he could be very unhappy.

"I'm sure Fuze will be a great father, pretty strict but he'll be a good one."

Skylar laughed as she turned her head, wiping the tears from her eyes. "He will be a strict father, that's for sure. I wonder how I'll be as a mom."

"Loving, laid back. That child is gonna have one amazing mother, who will spoil the child rotten."

"Thank you Eliza!"

Ash gave her a small smile then stood up. "C'mon, let's go see Doc."

She nodded and stood up, throwing the pregnancy test in the trash before leaving the room.

As they made their way towards medical Skylar was praying no one would be there, or if there was someone they would leave very quickly. She didn't want people to know about the pregnancy, not before she tells Fuze.

Walking into medical, it was quiet, no chatter, and that made her feel relieved. In the distance she could see Doc sitting at his desk going over a file, she took a deep breath and walked over to him, Ash following behind.

When he heard footsteps drawing near him he looked up, shutting the file and sitting up a little bit straighter. "What can I help you ladies with? I wasn't expecting to see you."

Skylar glanced down at her hands, then back to him, taking a deep breath. "I'm pregnant Doc."

He held his hand up for her to stop talking a small smile spreading across her face. "Say no more, just lie down on the nearest gurney and I'll bring over the ultrasound."

She nodded her head, going to the first gurney she saw and laid down on it. Ash standing beside her. Her heart began racing and a million things ran through her head, this wasn't how she thought her life would be going right now.

Doc showed up moments later with the monitor, she took a deep breath and moved her shirt up. As he got it ready, he glanced over at her seeing the worry etched onto her face. "Skylar it's okay to be worried, to be scared, those are two plausible reactions to something like this. Now lets see if I can find a heartbeat."

He grabbed the wand and the gel, squirting a generous amount on her stomach. Skylar and Ash both turned their attention to the monitor, waiting for anything to pop up. As soon as Doc put that wand on her stomach, moving it slightly down to the right a heartbeat was heard, forcing Skylar's heart to skip a beat. But when her eyes locked on to the fetus she couldn't help but give a small smile and sigh.

"How far along do you think I am?"

"I would estimate you're probably between five to seven weeks along. If you can recall your last menstrual cycle I can pinpoint it better." He removed the wand from her stomach and cleaned the gel off. "Now Skylar didn't I tell you and Fuze to use protection after the last incident?"

"Incident? What incident?" asked Ash

Skylar pulled her shirt down and sat up, looking over at her. "Four months ago after that mission Fuze and I were on, the one in the theme park I kinda teased him and by the time we got back to the base we went straight to his room."

"You guys had unprotected sex didn't you?" Ash glared at her and shook her head.

"Yes, but that wasn't the incident. After we were done I started bleeding, like a lot. We went to see Doc and Shu's semen was mixed in with the blood." She turned her attention over to Doc. "And we have been using protection, though a condom did break like six week ago. I didn't really think much of it since I'm on the pill."

"Hold on, why were you bleeding?" Ash crossed her arms and raised a brow.

"Oh apparently there was a huge vein right at the opening of my cervix, when he went over it, it popped."

"Alright, carry on."

Doc shut the monitor off and looked over at her. "Have you been taking anything new lately?"

"Just the antibiotics you gave me for the meningitis I had a month or so ago."

"Do you remember what they were?"

"No, but one started with an 'R', if that helps."

"Okay, I'll look up your file and see what I gave you." He walked back over to his desk, Skylar and Ash following behind him.

As they waited Skylar tapped her fingers on his desk, the nervousness she felt earlier had subsided for the most part, still she needed to tell Fuze and that made her feel even more nervous. The uncertainty is what scared her the most.

"Okay, here we go." She looked over at him as he read the screen, mumbling the antibiotics that he gave her until he came to one. "Rifadin, side effects are upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, menstrual changes, headaches." He stopped reading the computer screen and looked over at her. "You didn't have any menstrual changes right?"

"No..well I did have spotting a week ago but I thought it was just stress from work. Stress can cause me to be late. Clearly the reason was something else." She placed her hand on her stomach, lighting patting it.

"You're on the pill correct?"

"Yes."

"Okay, yeah rifadin is your suspect to this unplanned pregnancy. It can decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control, the pill for example."

Skylar narrowed her eyes at him and sighed through her nose. "So technically this pregnancy is your fault." She chuckled. "I can't believe I got pregnant from one faulty condom."

"We went over everything Skylar and you said you and Fuze were using condoms, I wasn't worried about an unplanned pregnancy. Just about the side effects. Now I suspect you need to tell Fuze and I'll check up on you in a few weeks to see how the pregnancy and the baby is doing."

She took a deep breath, trying to get her heart back to beating at a normal pace. "I know I was joking. And alright, merci Doc."

"You're welcome! And Skylar make sure to pick up some prenatal vitamins soon."

"Will do Doc."

Skylar and Ash left the medical bay afterwards, just in time for Jackal to walk in. They all said their hellos and went their separate ways. When they got out into the hallway Ash turned to her, curiosity etched onto her face. "So what are you going to do?"

"I guess tell Fuze." She grabbed her phone from her pocket, looking down at the time. It was late so everyone was either in their rooms or in the rec room relaxing. But she knew Fuze would be in the workshop working on his cluster charges. He liked it when no one was around. "And hope everything works out fine."

"Well good luck and you know where to find me if you need me."

"Thanks I'm gonna need it." She took another deep breath and headed for the workshop.

xXx

Skylar stood outside the doorway, fiddling with her hands as she tried to calm her rising nerves. She could see Fuze sitting at one of the tables with his back to the door working on his cluster charge. Before getting up enough courage to go in there, she watched him for a moment, taking in him working in his natural habitat. Sometimes she wondered if he missed working at the Alabino firing range near Moscow.

She opened the door, and walked in, letting it close on its own behind her. When he heard the door he turned to look to see who was joining him, a soft smile forming on his face when he saw it was her. "Zaichik, I thought you were resting? You said you didn't feel good."

Walking over to him she returned the smile, sitting on the stool next to him. He leaned over giving her a chaste kiss. "I was becoming restless and the nausea had subsided a little. Besides, I kinda miss you."

He set his screwdriver down and turned his full attention on her. "You could have messaged me saying that, you didn't need to walk all the way down here when you don't feel good just to spend time with me. I would have gone to your room or meet you in mine to make things easier for you."

"Shuhrat sometimes I forget how romantic you can get or you just forget we're not actually together."

He grabbed his screwdriver and turned back to his cluster charge. "I would like that to change zaichik."

Skylar blinked her eyes a few times, a little taken aback. "You do?"

"Da, I do." He finished tightening a screw, then turned to look at her. His green eyes piecing into her hazel ones. "I'm tired of our relationship being based on just sex. I want us to be more, to be an actual couple. Da, the sex is good but I long for the nights where we just lie in my bed and talk after a long day." He sighed and took her hand into his. "I know people think I don't care, they're wrong. I do care about you I have for a long time."

Her face softened and her other hand covered the top of his. Fuze wasn't someone to show his affection to the public, that just wasn't him. His affection was always shown behind closed doors, only for them to see.

"Shuhrat I know you care, you don't need to prove yourself to me. I guess I just wasn't expecting for our relationship to change past just sex. Not that I don't enjoy our nights together when we do just lie in your bed and talk. I wished you mentioned this sooner."

"I wanted too, I just didn't know where you stood. We never talked about being serious zaichik!" Skylar pulled her hand free, covering her mouth. The nausea was coming back and she was trying to make herself not vomit. He seemed to quickly notice something wasn't right since he was up on his feet in an instant rubbing up and down her back. "You are not better Skylar. Let me collect my things and head to my room, you need to rest."

She sighed and nodded, she knew the nausea was from the pregnancy, that's how she figured it out in the first place. She was going to need to pick up more than prenatal vitamins tomorrow morning.

She watched Fuze collect his things, putting them back in his bag. When he was nearly done she stood up, taking a few deeps breaths. He slung the back over his shoulder and placed his hand on the small of her back. "Let's get you to bed."

When they got to his room, Skylar toed off her shoes and took off her pants, staying in just her underwear and t-shirt and got under the covers. She watched him put the bag on his desk and sit down in the chair to take off his boots, knowing this would be the perfect time to tell him, but she couldn't. If an argument was too arise she would be too nauseous to do anything and the last thing she wants to do is to actually vomit.

Besides, she was still early into her pregnancy they'll be plenty of opportunities to tell him. And she hopes the nausea will go down by then.

Fuze discarded his Gorka pants and shirt, staying in just his boxers and joined her in bed. Turning on his side, he brushed some of her chestnut brown hair behind her ear and sighed. "Have you talked to Doc about this? There might be something wrong."

"I saw him before I went to see you. He thinks it's just a side effect from the antibiotic he gave me, nothing he can really do about it. Just said to rest and keep hydrated." She gave him a small, reassuring smile. "Enough about my nausea, let's get back to what you said in the workshop. I know we never talked about being more than friends with benefits and truthfully I've been wanting to bring it up for a few months now. I just didn't think you wanted too, so I just...didn't."

"I know I'm not the easiest person to get along with and I have a lot to learn about being a decent boyfriend." He turned on his back and stared up at the ceiling, resting an arm behind his head. "Ever since we started sleeping together, six months ago, I felt happy. To the point I couldn't wait for night to arrive because I knew I would be spending the night with you." He sighed and turned his head to look at her. "Relationships never went well for me Skylar, not a lot of people can deal with my gruff demeanor and curt speech and I was waiting for you to be the same."

Skylar propped herself up on her elbow, resting her palm on his broad chest. "How you are in our work environment and how you are behind closed doors are two very different aspects of you. Both I like very much." She leaned over until she was mere millimeters from his lips. "On the contrary, I think you'll make a great boyfriend. And I would love for us to be a couple if you still want to."

She placed a firm kiss upon his lips, then pulled away, lying back down. She could see the small smile on his face as he turned to her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her to his chest. Nuzzling his face into her hair. "I would like that zaichik, very much."

"Good, I guess it's official then."

"Da, it is." He kissed the top of head and hummed. "Now get some sleep, you need it."

Skylar scoffed and closed her eyes, she hated that she lied to him about why she was feeling nauseous, she just couldn't tell him. But it was a little white lie, she did go see Doc, she just lied about the outcome, it could've been worse. Now she just needs to muck up the courage to tell him that he's going to be a father, before he finds out himself. If only it was that easy.


Russian: Da = Yes and Zaichik = Bunny
