2 weeks had passed since Dipper & Pacifica's night at the springs; during that time, Pacifica started working at the diner again to give the time. Her time there was more fun due to Mabel, Grenda & Candy working with her. Though Pacifica never felt better, she still couldn't help but feel something was off & different with her.

"I wonder what it is?" Pacifica thought as she was cleaning.

It was near the end of their shift, as the girls were nearly finished cleaning & they were all wondering what to do with the rest of the night.

"ladies, I propose we all go skinny dipping in the lake." Said Mabel

"yeah," said Grenda

"Sounds like fun." Said Candy

"how about you, Pacifica?"

"huh, oh yeah, sure sounds great."

"Are you feeling ok?" asked Candy

"well yeah, but I can't help but feel like something is different."

"like what? Asked the girls

"like…"

Suddenly, the diner's door opens with the bell ringing, alerting them to a customer coming in.

"Sorry, buddy, but we're closing up for the…" said Pacifica before her voice stopped dead in her tracks

To Pacifica's shock, it was tiffany, the person she thought was her friend but was actually the cult leader who turned her into a hybrid.

"shame I was hoping for."

"YOU!"

Pacifica charged tiffany grabbing her by the throat as she lifted her into the air in a flash.

"Now…now… no need for any of that. I come in peace."

"you'll leave in…in…"

Suddenly Pacifica started to feel tingly in her belly & also began to feel light-headed & dizzy as she dropped her before stumbling backward & being caught by Grenda.

"Pacifica!" said Candy

"What did you do to her!?" said Mabel

"I didn't do anything; it's her own fault for trying to pick a fight in her condition."

"condition?" said the girls

"none of you fools figured it out yet…northwest is pregnant."

Everyone was shocked, even Pacifica, who was still recovering from her dizzy spell but always wanted to fight as she tried to charge tiffany again but was stopped by Mabel.

"no, not yet…Candy calls Dipper & tell him to get to the diner fast."

"yes, please do. I'd like to have a talk with the father too." said tiffany

Moments Later…

After getting the call, Dipper rushed down with Stan, Ford & Gideon right behind him; as they arrived, they all saw the girls sitting with Pacifica, now joined by Wendy. Sitting by the entrance was tiffany, who smugly looked unimpressed by the number of people who outnumbered her.

"oh, dear, so many people, good thing I'm only a thought projection."

"skip the bullshit, whore what do you want!?" said Pacifica

"well, you two should be happy to hear my followers & I are no longer after your life or the life of your mate."

"oh really?" said Dipper

"provided an agreement can be made."

"what's that supposed to mean." Said Dipper

"you see, my master is well aware of the fact that she's expecting & since he sees no use in harming an unborn child, he had come up with a better solution."

"solution?"

"We want your child."

"WHAT!" yelled everyone

"My master wants to transfer his soul into the body of your unborn child; in doing so, he will be reborn into a new being to be raised to one day rule the universe. In return, our vendetta against you will be absolved & you will be considered heroes in history for bringing forth the new master of the new era.

"you! Crazy bitch, you're nuts if you think." Yelled Pacifica

"I don't see a problem. It's a win-win situation; we get our master, you get to keep on living."

"hold up, Pacifica, there's no need to worry; this bitch nor her cult can't do anything."

"oh really?"

"you're only a thought projection, which means you can't physically pass through the barrier; even if you decided to go back to your original plan, we have the dagger; you assholes have no way of getting near her or our baby." Informed Dipper

Tiffany didn't bother to hide her annoyance because knowing Dipper was right, there was no way for her to get to them.

"well…Mr. Pines, I can't deny that you've definitely inconvenienced us; though we are legion, it would be a waste of time trying to break through but, we have other ways."

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"oh, you'll find out; in the meantime, I suggest you take good care of Pacifica & that baby, my master, deserves a healthy vessel."

As tiffany got up to leave, Dipper had 1 more question for her.

"Hey, before you go, how good is that thought projection."

"I'm a high level; my projections are as real as me."

"do they feel pain?"

"they feel what I feel & vice-versa."

"Good, now feel this."

In a flash, Dipper brought out Gunshin, slicing up the projection sending the feedback to the real tiffany, who cried out in pain.

"That bastard I'll."

"do nothing!" threatened the statue

"but master."

"There is no need to waste your energy; simply follow my instructions."

Back at the shack, everyone was focused on Pacifica looking after her now that they knew her condition. To confirm whether this was true or not, MIM was summoned to gravity falls. Arriving a few hours later, she proves that Pacifica was pregnant with Dipper's child, much to everyone's shock.

"congratulations Mason, you're going to be a papa." Said MIM

"This is happening really fast." Said, Pacifica

"well, you two have about 4 months & 1 day to get ready…for your little bundle of joy."

"wait don't pregnancies last 9 months?" asked Wendy

"humans do, but succubus last half the time about 4 months & 15 days give or take…even though Pacifica is a hybrid, her reproductive cycle is that of a succubus," Informed MIM

"What should we do now?" Asked Dipper

"luckily, in my years, I've delivered my share of succubus babies…so I'll be staying in town with my cousin the hand witch."

"oh, joy." Said, Stan

"watch it, Pines, I haven't forgotten that con job you tried to pull on me!"

"dudes, I know how we found out was ruff but let us turn this into a positive, let us celebrate the newest member of the family on its way." Said, Soos

As everyone agrees & began setting up for an impromptu party, MIM to Dipper & Pacifica aside.

"I know what you two really want to know."

"you do?"

"you want to know if they really can transfer that demon's soul into your baby."

"yes," both asked her

"Well, yes, it is a doable process."

Both became concerned as they held each other close, with Dipper placing his hand on Pacifica's belly, comforting her as they asked for more details.

"you see, since Pacifica is still half-human, the child will at least be ¼ demon that should be enough to make it a proper vessel for a demon's soul to overshadow it."

"overshadow."

"well, this is different than possession; the human soul is suppressed, but overshadowing the soul is consumed by the demon's leaving nothing left." Explained MIM

This only worried Pacifica more knowing the fact that was in store for her & her baby if they get their hands on her."

"luckily, I have a plan for that."

Placing her hand on Pacifica's belly, MIM's hand began to glow, passing it to Pacifica, who exposed her stomach, revealing a glowing mandala-like tattoo on her belly before disappearing.

"what did you do?" they both asked,

"think of it as insurance, just in case things go south…No more questions, your family is waiting to celebrate."

The three of them headed back inside to a quick set up party to celebrate the baby that was now on the way. Everyone had a good time enjoying themselves, taking their minds off the looming troubles on the way.

Later That Night

As the party ended, it was 2:00 in the morning as Dipper & Pacifica cuddled naked in bed, in the bunker. Neither of them could sleep as they laid in bed, holding each other close. In the night's span, they learned that they would be parents & now those cult people wanted their baby.

"Dipper, can you sleep."

"no, too much to think about."

"Yeah, me neither… I'm worried not just about those bastards but being a mom."

"why would you worry about that?"

"it just that what if our baby doesn't like me…what if I end up like my mother."

"Pacifica, our baby is going to love you & you'll be a great mother."

"I hope so. Aren't you worried about being a dad, dork?"

"I am, but I know that we have a family & friends & a town that will be there for us, so it eases my worry."

"I guess you're right," said Pacifica holding Dipper closer

"I am…beside there are a few things we need to take care of immediately."

"like what?"

"well, we need to get our new home ready, pick out a name for if we have a boy or a girl & the most important one."

"what's that?"

"We can't have our baby born to unwed parents, now can we?"

"Mason "Dipper" Pines, are you proposing to me?"

"yes…yes, I am."

"that's a pretty weird way to do it, dork."

"so, is that a yes?"

"of course, it's a yes."

"I love you, Pacifica."

"I love you too, Dipper."

The two kissed one more time, finally able to sleep the cuddled up close as they fell asleep together.

Elsewhere

As Tiffany sat on her throne, recovering from the backlash of having her projection destroyed, one of her servants appeared with the news.

"there you are. Is it done?"

"yes, mistress, all is taken care of."

"good, now leave me."

As the servant left, the statue's eyes began to glow, signaling that her master wished to talk.

"master, the egg has been placed & hidden inside the barrier thanks to our contact in the town; what is our next move?"

"We need only wait…once the egg hatches, our next step will begin. If we cannot bring the woman to us, then we will her willingly come to us."

"as you wish, my master?"

Sorry for taking so long to get this out and dealing with a lot of personal baggage, and sorry if it is a little short, but this chapter is mostly filler while also setting up for the final Arc in this story.
