(Hello, everybody. I am so sorry for taking so long with this story, I was sooooooooooooooo busy helping my family around the house, and helping my family taking care of my great-grandmother, who has Alzheimer's. Since Friday of this month, me and my family got hit by a tornado, and I helped my family pick up lots of sticks, and that me and my family are all okay.
Anyway…this chapter here to Gruffi's pregnancy, this is when Gruffi is in his third month of pregnancy and will go into his fourth month of pregnancy as well. I bet you're all curious if Calla and Cavin are going to be in this story, well…I was thinking that they're not going to be in the story, reason why is because…they don't want to think that Zummi is crazy about Gruffi being pregnant and that Zummi accidentally used a pregnancy spell on Gruffi, instead of Grammi.
Also…Duke Igthorn is also not going to be in the story either, cause…for this story, it reminds me of one episode of the Gummi Bears when Gruffi and Cubbi were taking care of baby griffins while the Mother Griffin was out. And…one part of that episode has a scene when Gruffi saw the Mother Griffin came back to her nest and saw Cubbi, Gruffi was trying to tell the Mother Griffin that he has something for her, which is one of her babies, which somehow fell out of the nest and Gruffi has to be the one to get it for her, while Cubbi was keeping an eye out on the Mother Griffin. For that part…when the Mother Griffin saw Gruffi, thinking that Gruffi is going to get one of her babies away from her, Gruffi was trying to tell her that he has one of her babies that fell out of the nest, and then…we saw a huge bump on Gruffi's stomach, which Gruffi was carrying the baby griffin inside his shirt that Gruffi was trying to get it out of his shirt and back with its mother.
Anyway, here's the chapter…enjoy!)
Chapter 6: Gruffi's Third and Fourth Month of Pregnancy
On the third month of pregnancy, Gruffi has been feeling very odd on his body, which causes him to feel…itchy, like crazy. And so…when he woke up that morning after the sound of his alarm clock, he turned his clock off and he starts to get out of his bed and starts to do a little bit of exercise to keep him and his gummi cub healthy and strong. He moved his legs up and down while counting. "One…two…one…two…one…two…one…two." He said while counting. And then…while he was in the bathroom, he brushed his teeth while counting as well. "One, two, three, four, five, six…One, two, three, four, five, six…One, two, three, four, five, six." He said while counting and brushing his teeth.
After he was done brushing his teeth, he starts to feel itchy all over his body, and he starts on scratching his body like crazy. "Ahhh, ooohh, ahhh, ooohh, ahhh, ooohh, ahhhh." He said while scratching his body, and then…he thought of a very good idea. "Aha. Maybe I could take a nice warm bath with some nice gummi berry itch soap maybe that could get rid of my itching." He said to himself, and then…he starts to get some nice warm water for the tub, and he grabs some soap that has the smell of gummi-berries, and he starts to take off his pjs, and he starts to get into the water with a nice sigh. "Ahh. That feels so wonderful." He said to himself while relaxing in the nice warm bath.
After he was done in the tub, he grab his robe and slippers, and he starts to get dressed in his bedroom, and he fixes the sign that says, "Live Each Day In The Gummi Way" and then…he starts to walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. Once he got into the kitchen, he saw the other Gummi Bears eating as well. "Good morning, everyone." Gruffi said. "Good morning, Gruffi." Grammi said. "Good morning, Gruffi." Sunni and Cubbi said at the same time. "Good morning, Gruffi." Tummi said while eating some gummi-berries. "Good morning, Gruffando." Gusto said. "Good orning, I mean, morning, Gruffi." Zummi said. Gruffi smiled and he starts to grab a plate and starts on getting some food, like eggs, bread, milk, and also…some yummy delicious gummi-berries. "Gosh, Gruffi. I see you got an ull, I mean, full plate of delicious ood, I mean, food." Zummi said, feeling surprised at Gruffi's plate.
"Yeah. I'm just eating for two, which is me and my gummi cub." Gruffi said with a smile and starts on eating his food. "So, Gruffi. What is it like to, you know…have a gummi cub inside your stomach?" Sunni asked, feeling curious. "Well, Sunni, sweetie…It does feel…a little strange at first, because…I never become pregnant before. Also…it does feel very…interesting, because…I do like to see what is like to be a father to my own gummi cubs, so they could carry out on the Gummi Bear Way Tradition. Just like we're doing the Gummi Bear Way Tradition. Not only that…earlier this morning, Zummi, I have been feeling itchy all over my body, and…I don't know why I feel so itchy, but…I did take a warm bath to stop the itching." Gruffi said.
"Well, Gruffi. When it comes to tching, I mean, itching, I will have to say, it could be your ormones, I mean, hormones during pregnancy. And…the itching will stop oon, I mean, soon enough. But…try to take a nice arm, I mean, warm bath, maybe it will stop the tching, I mean, itching. Also, make sure you use some gummi-berry soap that we kept in the bathroom, as ell, I mean, well." Zummi said. "I'll be sure to do that, Zummi." Gruffi said with a nod and continues on eating his food. "Also, Gruffi…Since you're in your hird, I mean, third month into regnancy, I mean, pregnancy, you will start to have some ood ravings, I mean, food cravings. And…once you go into the ourth onth, I mean, fourth month, you will feel strange, like…emotionally, which is called ood wings, I mean, Mood Swings." Zummi said.
"What are Mood Swings?" Gruffi asked, feeling curious on what Mood Swings are. "Well, Gruffi. Mood Swings are not just ordinary emotions, but…it will hange, I mean, change from one emotion to another. Like…ad, I mean, sad, from appy, I mean, happy, from ngry, I mean, angry, and then, back to happy again. But…the Mood Swings will stop at the end of the onth, I mean, month as well." Zummi said. "I see. So, I am now on…Food Cravings?" Gruffi asked. "Yes. You have started on food cravings, and it will stop soon nough, I mean, enough." Zummi said. "Right." Gruffi said and continues to eat his food.
"Zummi, how long does Gruffi have to carry his gummi cub?" Tummi asked, feeling curious. "Well, Tummi…I will have to say that Gruffi is now in his third month, and that he has ix, I mean, six months. Because…once he enters his nine months of regnancy, I mean, pregnancy, Gruffi will start to feel ressure, I mean, pressure in his lower stomach, and maybe some strong ramps, I mean, cramps, which are called: Contractions, and…once the contractions are stronger and closer ogether, I mean, together, Gruffi will go into the phrase, which is called Transition Phrase, which is a ign, I mean, sign, which will causes the gummi cub to move further down into his pelvis, which is an pening, I mean, opening for the gummi cub to come out of." Zummi said. Gruffi was surprised that caused him to spit out his food after hearing what Zummi had said to Tummi about where is his gummi cub going to come out of. "Wait a minute…Are you saying that my cub is going to come out of my butt?" Gruffi asked, feeling surprised and shocked to hear that his cub is going to come out of his bottom. "I elieve, I mean, believe so, Gruffi. Because…I don't have the materials to ut, I mean, cut your stomach open, and I don't have any spells on how to get your cub out of your tomach, I mean, stomach. It has to be an atural, I mean, natural irth, I mean, birth." Zummi said.
Gruffi was surprised to hear that Zummi doesn't have the materials or spells to cut his stomach open to get his cub out of him, but…he got his anger to calm down in his mind, and he looks at Zummi. "Okay, Zummi. Since this is going to be a natural birth, it will be okay to get my cub out of me safely, and I also hope that my cub will come out healthy and maybe adorable as well." Gruffi said. "That's the spirit, Gruffando. After the cub comes, I have a huge surprise for you and the cub as well, Gruffando. But…it's not finished yet, because I am still working on it." Gusto said. "Oh, Gusto. That is very sweet. And I can't wait to see it. And…I bet my cub can't wait to see it either once he or she comes into this beautiful world." Gruffi said while rubbing his stomach. "Gruffi, if you don't mind me asking…is your cub going to be…a boy or a girl?" Cubbi asked. "Um…I really not quite sure, Cubbi. Because…I can't quite tell if my cub is a boy or a girl when it comes to my stomach, because…Zummi once told me once I have a baby bump in front of me, and I will have to look to see what baby bump I am having. Zummi once says if my stomach is flat, it's a girl, and if my stomach is round, it's a boy. But…I am hoping for a surprise, so that I will be happy that I have a nice happy healthy cub." Gruffi said.
"Gruffi, mind if I tell you something, please?" Cubbi asked. "Sure, Cubbi. You can tell me anything." Gruffi said. "I want a baby brother." Cubbi said, sweetly. "Awww. You want a brother? That's so very sweet, Cubbi." Gruffi said with a smile and he gives Cubbi a hug, which Cubbi hugs Gruffi back. "Gruffi…I do want a baby sister." Sunni said with a smile upon her face. "Aww, Sunni, sweetie. That's so very sweet." Gruffi said with a smile and he gives Sunni a hug, which Sunni hugs him back.
When Gruffi's fourth month of pregnancy came, Gruffi was still having food cravings, and then, later…his attitude started to change from sad to happy to angry and back to happy again, just like what Zummi had told him. While Gruffi was working on getting his clock all fixed, he accidentally hit his finger while getting his clock back together again.
"Ow! Oh my goodness, that hurt. Ow!" Gruffi said with a little sad look upon his face. And then…he goes to the bathroom, uses a small bandage to put around his finger. "There we go. All better now." Gruffi said with a smile upon his face.
Then, he looks at himself in the mirror and saw that he almost getting a baby bump. "Oh my! I am now getting bigger and bigger by the minute, and I do want this whole thing to stop!" Gruffi said with an angry tone upon his voice. "Oh, not to worry, I'm sure I got five months to go, since I am now in my fourth month of pregnancy, and I'm sure it will give me some time to get everything all set and prepared for my precious gummi cub to come to this beautiful new world. Well…off to get my clock fixed." Gruffi said with a happy tone of his voice and went back to his work-bench and starts to get his clock all fixed.
Once his clock is all fixed, he also made his bed, and he took care of his laundry and he shined his shoes as well. "Wow. Looks like I am getting my room and work-bench all clean." Gruffi said to himself. If he didn't notice is that his baby bump is getting a little bit bigger, which it could mean that his gummi cub could be about the size of a grape-fruit.
"I know you want to come out, my gummi cub, but…it will be very soon. And I promise you that I will be the best father to you, and I will take good care of you, and that I will love you so as well. And I can't wait to see you and meet you for the first time as well." Gruffi said while looking down at his stomach and he rubs his stomach to feel his cub move or kick, either way. When night came to the Gummi Glen, Gruffi starts to take a nice warm bath and he uses some gummi-berry soap to stop his itching, he got into his robe and slippers and got into his pjs and starts to go to bed for the night, and he sighed. "Wow…what a day has been. Well…I hope a new day tomorrow is going to be just fine." He said to himself, and then…he starts on rubbing his stomach and looks down at his stomach. "Good night, my wonderful sweet little gummi cub. Sweet dreams." He said and then…he goes to sleep on a nice beautiful starry night in Gummi Glen.
