Season 4-ish pregnancy scare fic incoming.


Andy tells himself it's cool. It really is, because the look on her face when the test reads a negative is nothing short of total relief.

He always thought protection was called that for a reason - it always protects you from babies. But, in this case, he must have screwed something up and just an hour ago April was losing her mind in the bathroom.

"So... that's the best thing I've seen, like, ever," April confides as she kicks open the bathroom garbage can and drops the test in with zero care for any of it. "I mean, can you imagine raising a kid?"

"Uh huh," Andy mutters and shakes his head. "Totally, yeah. Lame. Stupid, huh?"

April stares at the little silvery container and sighs, setting the lid back on right. She spends a moment fiddling with her ring and looking at that can.

"It'd be stupid," she says, though this time there's an apparent lack of confidence. "It'd be a bad idea, right?"

When she finally looks at him, it's not a sure statement. There are so many things in their life, their lives, that is and are perfect. Fun is no further away than stealing her dad's car and taking a road trip, or scaring strangers - and neighbors - by dressing Champion up as a ghoul and walking him down the street.

And this, their life, it's so easy.

So April doesn't look at him like she's convinced herself quite yet, though Andy's pretty sure it's not that easy. A moment ago, she was sure. But then he had to go and open up his stupid mouth.

"Yeah, babe," he answers her. The sigh she lets loose is followed by a genuine smile and a nod. "It'd be totally terrible to have a kid!"

"Right now," April tacks on, as if it's obvious.

Lost, Andy just shrugs. "Yeah..."

"Maybe at some point we'll..." April pauses. She toys with her ring again. "We'll adopt creepy twins."

"Aw-"

"From Romania," she blurts out like the afterthought it clearly is and Andy never notices.

"Yeah, maybe," he agrees and April leans into his side to wrap her arms around his waist. "Maybe one day we'll do something like that, but right now's pretty cool right?"

"Totally," she says into his chest.

They share a smile and a kiss, and then agree that the whole ghoul-dog idea is pretty great. Maybe next time they'll carry Champion in a stroller over to her parents' house.
