Dib: Me

Enjoy. =3

Shaking his head weakly when Dib pulled away from him, Zim forced himself to sit up in his spot slowly, his arms shaking unsteadily from the weight being put on them and his neck cramping considerably. "P-Please come back..." he choked out, not wanting the other to run away from him as he knew already that he couldn't get up himself to follow after and comfort the shaken hybrid.

Not wanting to touch Zim for fear he may accidentally hurt the other again, Dib merely shook his head at that request however before letting out yet another wet whimper as he dragged himself back across the hard wood floor until he felt his back pressing against the far wall.

Rose peeked her head into the room at all the commotion. "Is everything alright in here?" she asked, having heard the screaming from hers and Jack's room.

Zim's antennas drooped. "No..." he glanced at Rose for help before returning his gaze back to Dib across the room from him now.

"I hurt him!" Dib pulled his knees to his chest and pointed back at Zim, crying now.

Zim shook his head again. "No…P-Please come back, Dib...I-It was just a dream..." he said, hating the fact he couldn't force himself out of bed to comfort his hybrid, his every muscle spasming with desire to do so but deteriorating away to nothing but mush when he even attempted to push himself up from the bed.

"But I still hurt you!"

Rose knelt down near Dib. "Dib...I'm sure it was just an accident. Zim's okay now though. Everything's fine." she said in a soft voice so as to not startle him anymore than he already was.

Wanting his love to come back to him, Zim nodded reassuringly, the only gesture he could muster in that moment as he felt his arms growing weaker by the second.

"Come on, Dib. Let's get you back into bed with Zim." Rose reached forward to help him up before leading him back over towards the bed.

Collapsing back in the bed, Zim opened his arms a little towards the boy, looking up at Dib when he approached to climb back in with him.

Helping Dib back into bed, Rose then pulled up the comforter around the both of them once Dib was situated back in Zim's arms.

Hesitantly returning his cheek to Zim's chest and resting it there gently, Dib sniffled wetly.

"There." Rose smiled, running a hand through his hair and rearranging some of the strands on his face. "You two get some rest and then later on Jack and I have a little surprise for you." she said with a smile as she stood to head for the door again.

Holding Dib close and kissing the top of his head, Zim nodded at those words.

Smiling when she saw Zim nod his head at her, Rose then turned to leave the room again and head back to her own bedroom where Jack was waiting patiently for her.

"What was that all about?"

"Just a bad dream. Nothing to worry about. Everything's fine now." Rose said, crawling back up into the bed next to Jack, considerably exhausted by the encounter despite her best efforts to mask it.

Nodding his head and pulling her close, Jack held her in his arms as he rubbed a single hand against her belly lightly.

Rose smiled at the small belly rub, her eyelids faltering slightly but somehow managing to remain opened. "I'm getting so big." she went ahead and rubbed her own stomach soothingly, her hand meeting Jack's and crawling between the gaps in his fingers.

Jack smiled wide at this, his own fingers moving to intertwine themselves with Rose's. "Isn't it wonderful?" he said before leaning in to kiss her on the lips lovingly.

Rose smiled just as wide. "I think we're going to make it this time." she smoothed a hand over her belly again, ironing out the mountain range of wrinkles in her shirt so they more resembled a vast expanse of plain lands now, stretching up and over the mound that served as her baby bump.

Watching her free hand idly as it traveled the contour of her midsection, Jack nodded his head again before kissed her lightly once more. "I know we will." he said confidently.

"I guess we should start thinking of names then."

Jack nodded. "How about a flower name? You know, to match your mom's theme." he suggested, having always loved his wife's name.

"Well...Alright. If it's a girl. I think we'd run into a problem there if we had a boy though. Not many flower names associated with boys."

"Hmm... Sunflowers." Jack shrugged at the suggestion. "We could call him Sonny." he said the first name that came to mind.

Rose smiled wide at the suggestion. "That's brilliant! We could name a boy Sonny with an 'o' and a girl Sunny with a 'u'. It would work wonderfully for either gender." she brought her gaze back down to stare at her belly.

Jack smiled and kissed her again. "Excited?" he asked though he could see the excitement clearly on her face.

"How could I not be? This is what I've always wanted. You?"

"Yes…But I'm trying not to freak out." Jack laughed a little.

"You'll do wonderfully. " Rose kissed him on the lips. "You're going to be a wonderful father, and our baby is going to love you a lot." she smiled reassuringly at him.

Jack smiled back and kissed her a third time. "And you'll be a wonderful mother." he said once he had broken the kiss.

"I really hope so." Rose then leaned down to kiss her large belly before finally allowing her eyes to slip closed tiredly as she fell asleep in the warm comfort of her husband's arms.

QQQQQ

Meanwhile, back with Zim and Dib, Dib shivered against Zim's body uneasily, wriggling about in his spot next to Zim and trying to worm his way out of the borrowed shirt he was wearing, which was by this point damp with sweat. "Mmm..." he whined, unable to keep still.

Pulling back and tugging at Dib's shirt until it came off of him, Zim sighed and then kissed Dib's belly soothingly. "Better?" he asked, unable to fall back off to sleep himself now that he was awake.

Wincing slightly and letting out a small, pained whimper at the kiss to his belly, Dib otherwise nodded his head slowly. "S-Sorry..." he apologized for keeping the other up with all his shifting about. He just couldn't seem to get comfortable no matter how hard he tried though.

Zim looked at him worriedly. "Are you okay?" he asked, able to sense the other's restlessness.

Unsure whether Zim was referring to his whimper or just the hot flash he seemed to be having in that moment or both, Dib merely pulled himself more under the blankets at that question, nodding his head slowly. Zim had brushed his lips over one of the still healing scratch marks on his stomach, causing him to react negatively to the touch altogether as he didn't even want the other to see what he looked like without his shirt on. But he wouldn't admit that to the other nor the fact that he just plain felt nauseous altogether without the contact to make it worse. "I-I'm fine...J-Just...restless, I guess..." he said, turning over so his back was facing Zim, the only part of him that wasn't scratched up.

Looking away, Zim stared at his lap a bit sadly. "I love you..." he said after a few silent moments had passed between the two of them.

"...I know..." Dib turned back over to face Zim, nuzzling into him. "I love you too...And I'm sorry..."

Zim smiled slightly and kissed him again. "I'm the one who should be sorry…It's my fault this all happened..."

"B-But you haven't done anything wrong...A-And it's not like you're the one keeping me up...I'M the one keeping YOU up...But you shouldn't be up...You should be sleeping and trying to regain back your strength...Because...Because what if they came back again...I wasn't able to help you...I should have been but I wasn't...If I had come sooner, maybe none of this would have happened..."

"Dib..." Zim's antennas drooped. Leaning over, he pulled one of Dib's antennas into his mouth to lick at gently. "It's not your fault." he purred, nuzzling him and smiling a little. "I love you so much..."

Tensing slightly at the sensation, Dib then shuddered against Zim. It was both painful and pleasurable at the same time as he felt his body reacting slightly to Zim's tongue teasing his tips. "O-Owwww Ohhhhhh…" he groaned out in a mix of pain and pleasure.

Zim closed his eyes again. "Actually... Zim is glad you didn't come…You are Zim's mate after all…Only Zim can make you come." he said, nuzzling him and holding him closer.
