Zim: Notgonnadie
Dib: Me
Zim was cuddled up to Dib's bulgy belly as he continued to sleep.
Looking back down at Zim, Dib felt torn between getting up to use the bathroom and remaining in bed until the other woke up. Sighing, he decided to go with the latter of the two ideas, flopping back down onto his back, deciding he could wait a little while longer to empty his bladder. After all, his trips to the bathroom HAD been growing less and less over the past couple of weeks, which he at least took as a good sign.
Yawning in his sleep, Zim snuggled closer, ending up lying right on top of Dib's belly.
Wincing slightly at the extra weight on his stomach now, Dib tried to wriggle his way out from underneath the other a bit. "Mmm...Ziiim..." he whined quietly.
Mumbling something, Zim wrapped his arms Dib.
Making another attempt to pull himself out from underneath Zim, Dib let out another small whine. "O-Oww...Zim.." he squeezed one of his eyes shut as the pressure on his still somewhat sore stomach was making him feel rather uncomfortable. "Y-You're squishing me..." he said, attempting to push the sleeping Irken off of him enough that the other wasn't directly on his stomach or his bladder for that matter.
Feeling in his dream that Dib was being taken away, Zim squeezed his eyes tightly shut, holding onto Dib tighter.
That's when Dib really started to struggle. "Ow! Z-Zim!" he whimpered out desperately, squeezing his legs together tightly and turning this way and that in an attempt to pull free from the Irken's grip. "P-Please! Stop!" he begged before attempting to curl in on himself so the other would stop squeezing him so tightly.
Losing his grip on Dib, allowing said hybrid to break free, Zim whimpered in his sleep.
Panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath enough that it didn't hurt so much, Dib pulled his knees up to his chest for a few moments. He was shaken by Zim's squeezing him so tightly, but he didn't have much time to recover as he quickly had to make a trip to the bathroom to relieve himself before his bladder burst.
Gasping at the loss of his warmth, Zim snapped his eyes wide open. He sat up, looking around for Dib before glancing towards the bathroom and sighing in relief when he saw that the door was closed and the light was on, slipping out from underneath said door. He stretched, wondering what time is was. "I should really get a window down here..." he mumbled to himself, just as clueless as Dib was about what time it was.
Finishing up a fairly painful pee from his muscles being somewhat locked up, Dib returned back to the bedroom with his hand pressed to his lower abdomen, a somewhat pained look on his face as all he could do was stare down at the ground beneath him with barely open, tired-looking eyes.
Zim glanced up as Dib came back into the room. "Is everything okay?" he asked, oblivious to everything that had just happened.
Groaning out lowly, Dib took a seat on the edge of the bed and laid back to curl up on one of his sides. "I think you crushed my organs..." he groaned out, squeezing his eyes tightly shut as he wrapped his arms around his abdomen and shuddered. "And I think my bladder shrank in the process..." he said, his antennae drooping.
Flinching at those words, Zim hesitantly reached over and rubbed Dib's back, unsure whether the hybrid still wanted contact after that. "I'm sorry..." he apologized, not having meant to hurt the other.
His antennae shuddering before relaxing, Dib turned back over to face Zim in the bed, nuzzling himself up into the others chest comfortably.
"Mmmmm...Never mind about that..." he said in a tired voice before yawning and blinking his eyes back open to look up at Zim. "Wh-What time is it anyways? I-I've completely lost my sense of time...I don't even know whether it's daytime or nighttime any longer..." he said before closing his eyes and sighing out somewhat contently.
Wrapping his arms loosely around Dib, Zim smiled. "I'm not sure either...I used to hardly ever be down here. I was normally in the main lab...Computer, what time is it?" he addressed his computer, assuming it couldn't be too horribly late out.
Letting out a sort of yawn from being offline for the night, Zim's computer sighed before answering. "It's 3:00a.m..." it replied in its usual monotone voice.
"Really?" Zim asked, surprised by that response. "I thought it was the afternoon..." he had no idea they had slept for THAT long.
Dib sighed. "Great...And I'm fully awake now...Is it too early to get up and eat breakfast?" he asked, curling in on himself more when his stomach growled at him. "I think the smeets are hungry..." he said, running one hand over the slight bulge in his belly.
Hearing his own stomach growl, Zim smiled. "I don't think so." he held a hand out for Dib. "Shall we eat?" he asked, not at all opposed to partaking in an early breakfast.
Lifting his head to look at the hand being offered to him, Dib reached out to take it. "Yeah...I think I can eat now..." he nodded, his nausea gone for the time being.
Grinning wide, Zim helped Dib out of bed before leading him up to the main floor kitchen where the feast from before was still set up. He gestured for Dib to take the place that was set for him then set one up for himself. "Shall we feast?" he asked, feeling as though he could eat the entire table full of food at this point.
Smiling, Dib nodded his head in response. "Yeah! But you sure did make a lot. I don't think even with your help we'll be able to eat ALL of this." he said, his eyes scanning over the array of food set before them.
Zim blushed. "Well...I don't know...I guess I just got carried away." he said, rather flustered now.
"Heh..." Dib laughed a bit uneasily. "Well, I know I'm eating for four, but I don't think these smeets are actually taking in this much yet...Though, maybe when I get farther along they might..." he sighed, antennae drooping a bit before perking back up. "Oh yeah! D-Did you ever ask your computer to figure out how far along I am? O-Or at least, how much longer I'll have to be carrying them for?" he asked, wanting to know so it wouldn't be a complete surprise to them.
"Oh, no. I must have forgotten..." Zim said, food hanging out of his mouth because he was too hungry to eat politely.
Dib snickered into his hand at the way Zim was eating. "Don't choke, Zim..." he said, pulling up a plate for himself to load up with some food. "So, do you think your computer can do that from up here? Scan me, I mean..." he asked, thinking now was as good a time as any to do it.
Zim swallowed another mouthful of food. "Umm, yeah." he nodded, shoveling in more food. "I think it could." he said, his mouth still full.
"Th-Then do you think we could do that NOW?" Dib asked, still watching Zim. He didn't want to put it off for too much longer, otherwise they might forget again and not get it done before it was too late. If he was going to go through with all this, he wanted to keep on top of it and be ready by the time the smeets were ready to be born.
Trying to swallow too much at once, Zim hacked a little. "S-Sure..." he coughed, clearing his voice. "COMPUTER! Scan Dib and tell us when the smeets will be ready." he ordered before returning back to his food.
The computer sighed out, irritated. "Ugh! Don't you have anything better to do than bug me at 3:00 in the morning?" it said before reluctantly beginning its scan on Dib's body and processing the information about a minute or two later.
"Counting back from the security camera's log of when you two first had your little romp under the covers, it would seem he's about 15 weeks along. And taking into account the rate at which the smeets have been growing, it's estimated they're only about 38% developed. So you can expect them to continue growing for about another 24 weeks or so. There! Are you happy now?" it said, just wanting to return to sleep mode already.
Shoving more food into his mouth, Zim thought it over. "Soo...About five more months then? Well, it's not that bad." he shrugged before smiling at Dib.
Staring down at the plate of food in front of him with wide eyes, Dib however was a rather pale white at this point. "5 months...I have to put up with this for another 5 months?" he yelled up at the computer before then turning his attention on Zim to glare at the other, another rush of hormones screwing with his emotions. "And what the hell do you mean, 'It's not that bad'? YOU'RE not the one who has to give birth to something that's going to continue growing for another 5 months! YOU'RE not the one who has to give birth to THREE somethings that are going to continue growing for another 5 months!" he exploded on the other for his lax words.
Eyes widening at the sudden outburst, Zim eeped before shrinking down in his seat, away from Dib. "W-Well, I was just...It's better than six, right?" he laughed nervously, his words not making the situation any better at this point.
A/N: And there you have it for Chapter 68 =3 I'll just get to answering reviews now since I don't really have much to report about the story currently.
To TrU-iNSaNiTY: Oh, don't worry. I'll definitely keep the chapters coming as much as I physically can. And I'm glad to hear this story has gotten you to like M-Preg. =3 I honestly believe M-Preg is just one of those things that needs to be written well in order to like. Just like with any other topic. No topics out there are "BAD" topics. They just need to be executed properly. And sometimes it just takes that extra nudge from a story, picture, etc. to get you back into a fandom you once enjoyed.
To MonochromeFox: Lol. XD No need to worry. Zim will get Dib to eat eventually. And later on in the story, Dib will have more of an appetite. So don't you worry about those smeets coming out starved. Starving himself is the least of Dib's worries, though you'll see what I mean by that a little later in the story. And Zim can't help but want to do everything in his power to make Dib happy in this story. So he's really not as dominating as you would think. XD I actually think, to an extent, Dib is the one who wears the pants in this relationship. But it is awfully cute watching Zim struggle to take care of Dib. Dib doesn't have anybody else like that in his life, so Zim feels it's the least he could do after knocking Dib up. Lol. XD
To evangelinehaven: Lol. XD D'awwwz. You didn't have to make an account on here just for me. =3 But thank you anyways for the very kind review. ^^ I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying the story so much. And as for my spelling, you're very welcome. =3 I wouldn't be much of a writer if I couldn't spell correctly. XD I mean, I have a bachelor's degree in creative writing. So use of proper spelling/grammar is very important to me. =3 And even though this is an RP (and by far not my best work), I still try to avoid as many typos as I can when working on this. It why I read through every chapter before posting and run it through a spell check. So I can catch those small typos I might make and fix them. =3 Because, like you, I can't stand stories with numerous typos either. XD They make it hard to read and often turn me off to a story completely. So I get where you're coming from. =3 Some people don't think spelling/grammar are important in writing. But on the contrary, you don't want to try and sit through something that's poorly written. Even if the content IS good, it's not worth killing yourself trying to figure out what the author is saying. XD
To Kayla: Lol. XD Another one? Well, thank you for making an account, even though it's obviously not necessary. XD I enabled anonymous reviews again for a reason. =3 So there's no need to sign in if you don't want to. ^^ I'm just always happy to hear from you guys whether you have accounts or not. And I'm glad to hear you're finding this story relatable to real life. =3 I really do try to keep things as realistic as possible when working on this. So it's nice to hear from you guys when I've managed to pull that off.
To lillybean queen of the i ocean: Very glad to hear you're still enjoying the story so much. ^^ Thanks for reading, as always. =3
To Mrs Inuyasha Kagome: Glad you enjoyed the last chapter. ^^ And I always feel bad for Zim and Dib also in this story. But they'll get through it all eventually and come out on top. Don't worry. The pregnancy hormones definitely play into a lot of the drama in this story, but pregnancy hormones are temporary. Dib will get over them eventually. =3
To zims mate: Although you are only on Chapter 8 of the story and a far ways away from reading this particular chapter, allow me to welcome you to the review section of ZADR Orange anyways. =3 Should you ever read this review response, I'll just have you know that I'm afraid both Zim and Dib are in for a very bumpy ride in this story. But for the record, they'll both come out on top towards the end of the story. So please don't fret. ^^ Thank you once again for reviewing and have a nice day. =3
