A/N: I'm sorry that I haven't updated in awhile, I had one hell of a summer this year and no time to write. I'm going to be writing another Junjou Romantica story soon for my sweet boyfriend and a Super Lovers story for my brothers. This chapter is a little short, it was originally longer but I cut it off. Anyway, enjoy!

- XOXO Kimiko

The pregnant goth woke up and glanced around the room, she turned on her phone, the clock read 03:47. Gwen was definitely used to waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, that happened even when she wasn't pregnant, but she wasn't used to the feeling she was getting.

Hungry.

That's it, Gwen must have been hungry!

Next to her was Duncan, asleep in a rather awkward position with one of their cats lying on top of his back, she would always sleep on top of him for some reason, neither were sure why but they were glad that the cat loved them. Molly wasn't really their cat in the first place, the black and white furball just wandered into their house one day and wouldn't leave. She was especially attached to Duncan and it was very cute. The Japanese bobtail in a tuxedo must have been dreaming about a big juicy fish, she looked like she was chewing in her sleep.

Food! That's right!

Gwen got up from the bed and wandered downstairs to the kitchen, she opened the cupboard and pulled out a huge bag of ketchup chips. Knowing that everyone else was probably asleep she tried to open it as quietly as possible, however it apparently alerted the baby. Gwen held her stomach in pain as she felt something shake inside of her, she groaned. It's worse than my period! She thought as she sunk to the ground.

Duncan wandered into the kitchen, he rubbed his eyes from the sudden lighting change. "Gwen why are you up? It's 4 in the-" he lost his train of thought when he noticed his girlfriend on the floor clenching her abdomen in pain. "Gwen!" He rushed to her side, "What happened?"

The goth looked up at her boyfriend, "I-I don't know," she was panicking. "I came down here for a midnight snack and now my stomach is hurting really bad!" she winced and groaned as the pain shot through her, she could tell it was in her womb by now. "I'm worried that the baby is in trouble."

Duncan was panicking just as much as she was, "Oh! W-we better get you to the hospital then!" He suggested.

…

After helping her get dressed into something a little more, um, presentable, Duncan put Gwen in the front seat of his car and drove her to the hospital. Instead of focusing on the road, the punk's mind was a flow with questions:

What if she has the baby prematurely?

What if Gwen is sick?

What if the baby is sick?

What if the baby is still-born?

What if Gwen dies?

Duncan tried to shake those dark thoughts from his mind, Holy fuck, now I know how Anakin Skywalker felt in Revenge of the Sith. He thought. And when the hell is the new Star Wars movie coming out? I haven't seen any Tweets about it.

He swerved out of the way of a raccoon crossing the street, "Ah holy shit!" he yelled.

Gwen gripped hard on the safety handle as the car suddenly jolted left. "Gah! Duncan what the hell!?"

"Sorry!" He focused himself solely on the road, having to ignore Gwen's painful groans for now.

…

They got to the hospital safely despite Duncan's reckless driving and they made a beeline for triage, thankfully the emergency room wasn't crowded and they were able to get Gwen in to see a doctor immediately.

"Braxton-Hicks contractions?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes. it's not an uncommon symptom, 2 in 3 women have them." she confirmed, "they usually occur in the third trimester, Gwen is in her second but luckily, she isn't in any danger."

Duncan sighed relieved, "I'm no expert at this, she was in a lot of pain so the first thing I thought of was to bring her here." He explained.

The doctor was an older lady and gave him a warm smile. "Well Mr. Liu, you did the right thing bringing your wife here, I'm sure you'll make a great father too." She walked off.

A flustered Duncan looked at the ground. Wife, huh… Duncan was surprised that he hadn't thought about actually MARRYING Gwen yet. Geoff and Bridgette had gotten married a few weeks ago after finally saving up all the money they needed, although money hadn't been much of a problem with them since Duncan was making $100k a year as an air traffic controller. The problem was that Duncan and Gwen weren't a traditional couple, plus he just couldn't picture Gwen in a wedding dress.

As far as "tradition" goes, it's definitely not something that they followed. They didn't do all the cheesy romantic stuff for each other, they skip the flirting and kissy crap and go straight to the sex if they're both in the mood. Duncan and Gwen were partners in crime with a loving, committed, passionate relationship, part of what made them unlike other couples is their shared particular interests too. How would a punk and a goth even find a wedding theme? "Ooh Corpse Bride theme!" He suddenly shouted to himself.

Several people in the waiting room looked at him weird.

"Oop, sorry, force of habit."

…

Gwen lay in the hospital bed clutching her stomach in pain, it felt almost as bad as the time her appendix broke when she was a kid. She remembered being in the hospital for a week, and her mom wouldn't leave her side for a moment, the nurses even had to hold her back while Gwen was in the ICU, it was a little amusing but sad.

When Gwen was able to be wheeled around the hospital her mom took her down to the morgue floor, where the little goth was able to see where the corpses get cut open. An ordinary person would be greatly concerned for Gwen's interests with things like death, but Gwen's mom knew that her daughter's fascination was just an aspect of her personality. A strange one, but one she loved unconditionally.

The goth looked at her phone sitting on the side table, maybe it was time that she tell her mom about the baby like Duncan suggested. She picked up her phone, "Hey Siri, call mom."

The phone assistant dialed her number and the phone was picked up a few seconds later, "Hello?"

"Hey Mom." the goth answered.

The line was silent for a moment. "Gwen?"

"Yeah, I have something to tell you…" She admitted

"What is it sweetie? Is everything alright?"

Gwen took a deep breath, "Mom, I'm pregnant. You're going to be a grandmother." Gwen was anticipating a bad response from her mother, but was surprised at her next words.

"Gwen, I'm so happy for you." over the phone Gwen could hear her mother begin to cry tears of joy. "I know you'll be a great mother."

Because Gwen was pregnant she was very emotional, her own eyes welled up with tears too. "Oh god, Mom! I was so nervous about telling you!"

Duncan was waiting directly outside of the room, his ears pricked up upon hearing his girlfriend's cries. He rushed to her assistance, "Gwen, what's wrong?" he asked. He noticed that her phone had her mother's name on the caller ID, he caught on quickly and smiled. "Man, I'll never get used to you being emotional." Duncan ran his hand through her hair affectionately. "I'm proud of you Gwen."
