Sollux lies on the couch tiredly and Eridan smiles "Finally awwake?".
"Uggg. two early go away."
"See? You should'vve slept in my recuperacoon. You wwould'vve slept much better."
"Ew. I prefer the couch.".
Then Sollux slowly stands "Whath two eat?".
He walks to his side "Wwhatevver you like. I think there's leftovvers-" .
Then he pushes him violently and runs to the bathroom. Eridan stumbles back and looks at him startled "Sol?".
He grips the edge of the toilet and starts gagging. Eridan flinches and walks to the door, looking at the notebook "This is wwhat humans call 'morning sickness' isn't it?".
"No thit!".
He pushes open the door slowly and kneels down next to Sollux, still clinging to the toilet. "You okay?".
"Yeth, ithn't it tho obviouth?". Then starts another fit. "No.".
He frowns and starts rubbing his back. Sollux pushes his hand away "Thop. I don't want you touching me.". Then flushes and slides to the ground, face on the cold tiles.
"Do you wwant anything?".
"To thop throwing up.".
He sighs "Do you need help?".
"Thure.".
Then Eridan bends down and picks him up carefully."So you're finally startin to wwarm up to me.".
"Thut up I'm jutht tired.". And yawns, glaring at him.
"Wwhatevver you say.".
"Jutht thut up."
"Okay.".
Eridan sets him on the couch "Need anything else?".
"No. Jutht go.".
Eridan sits beside that "I can't do that, not wwith you bein miserable.".
"Thuprithingly, you being here ith not helping."
"Wwell I'vve gotta be there for my lovver."
"Any thliver of uthfulneth you were worth jutht drifted away.".
He smiles and leans forward, attempting to flirt "On the wwinds of lovve?"
Sollux pushes his face away "I jutht got through heaving my fucking guth out and you're hitting on me?".
"You don't havve to feel self conscious, I knoww it's a symptom of carryin little Eridan Jr."
He quickly stands, voice cracking with rage "What did you jutht thay?!"
Eridan looks at him startled "Wwell it's obvvious we're naming him after me."
Sollux turns around and punches him. "Go two hell fithdick! Nothing ith being named after you, ethpethially my kid!". And he stomps away angrily "And we don't know the gender yet dumbath.".
He jumps up and follows him into the kitchen. "Sol! Wwas it something I said? Okay, wwe could name him after you. It can be Sollux Ampora, howw does that sound.".
"It thounth awful, leave me alone."
"But Sol! It's important wwe figure out the name together."
"You're forbidden from doing anything involving thith."
"But Sol! I'm the Daddy, I havve the right to help wwith the name."
"For the latht time you're not the fucking father!"
"You don't knoww that."
"Yeth I do. Ith Aath and thath final! Now go away."
"But it's my hivve."
"Whatever." Then Sollux digs through the cabinets "Now thut up I'm hungry.".
Eridan crosses his arms, frowning.
"Fuck! Do you have anything pothibly edible?!"
"All my food is edible, you just lack my superior taste."
"Tho thath a no."
There's a knock at the door and he jumps up "Finally I get two leave.".
He opens the door and Feferi waves and smiles "Hey Sollux! Ready to go?".
He smiles, relieved "Thinthe I came here.".
"Then let go.".
Then there's a shout and Eridan comes running over "Wwait!".
Sollux crosses his arms "I am not thaying any longer-"
And Eridan grabs him and fiercely hugs him "Bye Sol.".
He sighs "let go now.".
Then Eridan kneels down, still hugging him and puts his head on Sollux's stomach "Bye little one.".
Sollux stiffens "Eridan.".
And he squeezes him close, nuzzling him.
He frowns, irritated "Eridan."
Feferi crosses her arms "Do I need to eel you off him? Let go.".
"Okay, okay I'm letin go Fef.". And he slowly stands and let's go, looking at Sollux distressed.
He sees him and frowns "Don't give me that look. I thpent the night, ithn't that enough for forever?"
"Wwill you come again soon?"
"Fuck no."
"Soolllllllllllllllll.".
Feferi rolls her eyes and grabs his arms "Let's eels cape beshore he gets brinier.".
He nods "You overdid it on the fishpunth but yeah."
Eridan waves pathetically "Bye Sol.".
"Yeth, yeth for the twothouthanth time."
She leads him down the path and when Eridan walks back inside he fist pumps in the air "Finally Freeeeeeee!".
Feferi bounces alongside him, chattering happily.
"I am reely, reely excited! I can't wait to spend the whole day with you! we could have a picnic and a walk! i know you can't swim to my hive but thats okay."
he nods "Whoa FF...jutht thlow down a little, okay?"
"Okay! sorry, it's just so exciting! geting to spend the whole day togeather after so long.".
Sollux looks at her "Thorry about that."
"It's fin, i know you're busy. I mean you are pregnant!".
He sighs "Yeth, pregant...can we not talk about that pleathe?"
She frowns, puzzled "Oh but why? Aren't you happy?".
"I'm ethtatic.".
She stops and hugs him "Don't worry, everything is going to be okay. And you'll glub the little guppy no matter what.".
He rolls his eyes "Even if ith Eridanth."
She giggles "Don't you glub in that tone of glub with me mister sourtrout. and yes, even Eridan's.".
"But then he'd never leave me alone."
"Whale, I know he's an annoying bass, but he is trying."
"I don't want him two try."
"He he, i understand."
"Bethidth it would be tho whiny 'Thollllllllll'.".
She laugh "Good impression. but it will be alot pike you to.".
"A bipolar pthionic with a mutated brain and a lithp?"
"Don't be so hard on yourshellf. You're an angelfish."
"I'm a pregnant, nerdy thult."
"That's ridiculous! You're not a slut."
"Tell that two my morail.".
"I'm shore he was just being a sourpus."
"You're not agreeing with him?".
"Nautical. You're just...passionate."
"...Letht jutht thop talking about thith.".
She smiles and nods "My lips are seal-ed.". Then she runs forward onto a path of grass "Now come on! He he he!" and beckons excited.
He rolls his eyes and smiles a little "Coming.".
She flops onto the grass, giggling and he slowly sits beside her.
She rolls onto her stomach and starts swinging her feet "How are you?".
He sighs "Fat, tired and thick.".
Her eyes widen "Fat? So you're rowing?".
He frowns "Don't make it thound like a good thing.".
"But it is!You needed some meat on those fishbones anyways.".
He rolls his eyes and she leans forward, whipering excitedly "Can I sea?".
"Why would you want two thee my thomach fat?"
"Because it means the little one is rowing to."
She smiles "Pleaseeeeeeeeee?".
He looks at her for a long moment then slowly lifts up his shirt and looks away, embarrased. She squeals loudly and he jumps.
She smiles, sheepish "Sorry.". Then continues looking at the tiny rise of his stomach. She hugs him "You're so glubing cute, i could cuttle you all bay!"
"No i'm not.".
She lays her head on his stomach gently and rubs the bump. She smiles and happily sings her words "Hello my little guppy!".
"FF don't do that.".
"But you're so cute!"
"Raithed thkin ith not cute."
"It is if there's a grub fin it.".
He facepalms, embarrased and she smiles up at him. "Aww don't be embarrased.".
He sits up, letting her move away "How can't I be." Before he can pull down his shirt a green and blue blur hurls at him. Feferi squeaks in suprise and he flinches, raising his hands defensively. He catches Nepeta with his psionics and sighs in relief.
Nepeta smiles "Hello Pawllux!".
He frowns "Hello NP.".
Feferi crosses her arms "Nepeta you could have hurt him.".
She frowns, thoughtfully "I'm sorry, i just wanted to say hello.".
Sollux puts her down slowly, panting at the effort. She looks at him, tail down "I'm sorry, furgot being purregnant makes you furagile.".
He looks at them both "Ith fine. No harm done.". Then lays back down.
She notices his stomach and gasps "Pallux! You're belly!".
He nods "Yeth, I'm fat. I've been well aware.".
She slowly puts her hand on his stomach and he gives an indignant huff. "This is where the grub is?". He reluctantly nods and she purrs.
"Mew will have a pawsitively adorible kit. It will be fun to guess what it looks like.".
He sighs "Not for me.
