Lydia felt weak and nauseous for the first few weeks she was in the Neitherworld. She could barely get out of bed and it was scaring Beetlejuice something terrible. He finally decided that he couldn't deal with this by himself. He piled her into Doomie and set off.

"Where are we going?" She asked as they drove.

"To my parents house. You need some sort of motherly figure Babes and if Delia's not willing then my mom will have to do." He reached out and took her hand in his own. Lydia looked at the red tipped fingers and felt the worry in his touch. She must have drifted off because the next thing she knew she was at the house. He lifted her up and brought her into the house.

"Junior, what are you doing here?" Beetlejuice's mother asked. She saw how pale Lydia was and immediately took over. "Take her into your room Junior and let me see to her." She said dismissing her son.

Bea settled Lydia into the soft bed and touched her forehead.

"You're pregnant with my dear boy's child aren't you?" She said softly. Lydia looked up and sighed.

"Yes, I love your son so much." Bea smiled and patted her hand and tucked her in. She settled into a chair next to her.

"Being a mortal pregnant with a ghoul's child is one of the hardest things someone can go through. It's ten times worse than a normal pregnancy. You must love him to endure this."

"How much longer will I feel this way?" Lydia squeaked.

"Not much longer dear, the first few months are the worst, then it will lighten up a little bit." Lydia nodded and closed her eyes. "That's right Dear, you just need to rest." Bea made sure that Lydia was asleep before she went back downstairs.

"What's wrong Mom?" Beetlejuice asked, nearly out of his mind with worry.

"She's making a life with someone who has no life. It's hard son, she just needs to rest and eat up and she'll be okay." Bea reassured her son. Beetlejuice felt a huge relief hearing those words from his mother. He nodded and she left him.

Lydia woke up to the smell of wonderful food. She heard her stomach growl and then heard a small chuckle. She opened up her eyes to see Beetlejuice holding a large tray for her.

"What's so funny?" She asked and frowned at her weak voice. He set the tray down and opened it up to reveal an array of breakfast foods from eggs to pancakes.

"I heard your stomach growl from the other side of the room." He said and shook his head smiling. "Per Ma's orders you need to eat every scrap of food on this plate. You have lost way too much weight Babes and you need to build your strength back up."

"No problem with that, I feel like I haven't eaten in days." She said smiling. He gave her a light kiss and left her too her meal. Lydia dug in and devoured everything on the plate in seconds. The minute she finished she began to feel better. It was amazing what an actual meal could do to you. Having nothing but Delia's cooking and cafeteria food for so long she had forgotten what real food tasted like.

She felt a massive pain in her back and froze while it coursed through her. She was almost four months pregnant now and her normally flat stomach was now rounded. She placed her hand on her stomach and felt a flutter dance across it. She quickly took her hand off and slowly laid it down again. It felt like a butterfly skittering across the palm of her hand. A broad smile covered her face and she yelled for Beetlejuice. He came flying into the room to see Lydia still laying in bed.

"Come here." She said and reached for his hand. She placed it on her stomach. He looked at her in confusion until he felt a flutter underneath it. He looked at her and she smiled broader, showing her white teeth.

"It's the baby kicking for the first time." She said. He looked down at his hand that was still laying on her stomach and was in awe. "This, right here, is worth everything." Lydia said running her hand up his arm.

"Babes, it's amazing." He said and gently lifted his hand off of her stomach. He leaned down to kiss her and she pulled in into bed with her.

"Stay with me, I sleep better with you." She said cuddling up to him. Beetlejuice just smiled stroked her hair until she fell asleep again. He gently moved away from her when he heard her breathing soundly. He walked back downstairs and sat down next to his father.

"Feeling okay son?" Gnat asked.

"Yeah, I'm just worried about Lyds."

"She'll be okay, she's strong." Beetlejuice just nodded and sat to watch television. Bea walked into the room wiping her hands on her apron.

"Is Lydia sleeping again?"

"Yes Ma, she fell asleep right after she finished her meal."

"Good, she needs to rest a lot. This isn't going to be easy for her." Bea said sitting down her son. She was amazed that he was actually bathing, of course she knew that it was because of Lydia. She could see in his eyes that he loved her.

"What's going to happen to her Ma?" He asked.

"Hopefully she'll get the rest she needs and she'll start feeling much better. Being pregnant isn't easy, especially in her case." Bea said and saw Beetlejuice's face lose all color completely. She sighed and patted his hand. "She'll get through it, she's a tough one." Beetlejuice just nodded as she left. He hoped Lydia would get better soon, he didn't think he could bear it if she didn't.

Lydia woke up in the middle of the night, her back seizing up on her and her stomach rolling. She broke out into a cold sweat and tried to call for Beetlejuice. He was nodding off in the chair by her bed when he heard her groan in pain. She reached for him and held on.

"If I live through this, we are only having one child." She muttered. He couldn't help himself and chuckled while he held her. Lydia squeezed her eyes shut and felt the pain roll through her before it stopped. If this is what it was like in just a few months, she dreaded what labor was going to be like.

"It's the baby growing Lydia." Bea said flicking on the light. Lydia turned to see Beetlejuice's sweet mother coming to sit on the edge of the bed in her robe and nightgown. "Since you've lost so much weight while you have been pregnant, the baby hasn't had much room and is now forcing you to accommodate. Once we start getting some meat on your bones you'll feel much better. That will give your baby some more room and stop stretching you from the inside out." Bea said and handed Lydia a plate of fresh cookies and a large glass of milk. "Eat this and you'll feel better." She said and patted her cheek. Lydia smiled and took a bite of a cookie. Beetlejuice made sure she ate every ounce wanting her to be better as soon as possible. He hated seeing his Lyds hurting.
