Hello again. This is the second chapter (obviously) sooo enjoy.
More info about how this Mpreg 'verse works in the end notes.
"The condom broke"
"What?" Sherlock asked, eyes widening in horror.
"The condom broke" John repeated, walking towards the bathroom.
"The condom broke!"
"Yes, the condom broke." John frowned, for a genius Sherlock sure was slow at times.
"When?" Sherlock stared at the ceiling, his pulse loud in his ears.
John heaved a sigh before answering, "I don't know Sherlock." Really, did they have to do this now? All he wanted was to throw away the blasted condom, cuddle up next to Sherlock and sleep.
"How can you not know?" Sherlock exclaimed, snapping up into sitting position. "You were the one wearing it. You must know!"
"No I bloody well don't. It's not like you can feel it snap or anything." John pinched the bridge of his nose, counting slowly to ten. He only reached seven before Sherlock was at it again.
"How much's still in it?"
"What?"
"Sperm John! In the condom. How much?"
John examined the condom. It was still sperm in it, but not much. Most of it were probably still in Sherlock or on the sheets. "Some, not much" He answered with a shrug. Behind him he heard Sherlock utter something close to 'Oh dear god' and when he turned around Sherlock was sitting with his head between his knees, trying to control his breathing.
John's mind immediately jumped to a girlfriend he had at uni. She had been extremely freak out by body fluids and had refused to do anything without at least one condom between her and John's prick. John hoped this really wasn't the case, but then again it couldn't. Sherlock and him had done a lot of things involving exchange of body fluids and Sherlock had never once protested.
Maybe he's just freaked out by having them inside him, John thought as he sat down next to Sherlock, trying to calm the man. His hand stopped stroking halfway down Sherlock's back, a thought making him freeze. But no, it couldn't be, or could it. But Sherlock would have told him if that was the case, wouldn't he?
"Umm, Sherlock." John starts reluctantly, really hoping that his superstitions won't be confirmed. "You're not fertile, are you?"
Sherlock was still for a few seconds before slowly nodding. There was a pause long enough to go from awkward to suffocating.
"Right." John said and felt like a complete idiot after, there was nothing 'right' about this situation. His eyes drifted to the fucking condom on the bedside table next to him. "Right" he said again and then added a third "right" for good measure.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked eventually and Sherlock raised his head in confusion.
"Why would I tell you?"
John gave Sherlock a shocked look. "Because, if something like this happened then I wouldn't have to worry about you freaking out."
"Well this wasn't supposed to happen" Sherlock snarled.
"And is that my fault. No! And for the record, we don't even know if you're pregnant."
"Of course I'm pregnant you idiot. As a doctor I thought you knew how these things worked!"
"Okay, you shut up. We will deal with this tomorrow when we both have slept on it."
Sherlock opened his mouth to protest but John quiets him with a stern look. Sherlock slid back down under the covers and turned his back against John, sulking. With a sigh John maneuvered himself to lie next to Sherlock, his front to Sherlock back but not touching. After a few minutes Sherlock gives in and scooted backwards, cuddling into John and soon they were both asleep.
So a little explaining about my AU is in order.
Basically it's like the normal Sherlock universe, except that there are some males who can get pregnant. It's called being fertileand it's rather rare, about 1 in 10 000 males are fertile but because far from all of them are homosexual or bisexual actual male pregnancies are even rarer.
If you are fertile as a male you are very fertile. This is because these men are a kind of subspecies in humans and as all species they want spread their genes in as many ways as possible and being able to get pregnant all the time is one of those ways. The pregnancies are the same as a woman's, except for the fact that you access the womb from the anus and not the vigana.
The society connects being fertile with being gay and because of the fact that many still (sadly) frown upon gays many keep the fact that they're fertile hidden.
So that was it about how my Mpreg works, if you have questions just fire away and I will answer to the best of my abilities :)
