I need to apologize for the delay in getting this up. I've been working on a Dani and Santana story for Glee and got so occupied with that.

I know that there's not much depth to this story. I wanted something sweeter about them living a normal life you know? I know this isn't perfect, it's not as in depth and detailed as my other stories have been. I am sorry about that. It was just something I threw together in less than a week.

With that said, this chapter DOES contain some sexytimes between Fang and Lightning.

If that bothers you, I suggest you stop reading a few paragraphs into the second scene of the chapter.

Hold Me Tight

Chapter 5

Two more months. Lightning's clothes were getting tighter on her, to the point she couldn't wear a majority of them anymore. Her military uniform, which had been snug to begin with, now showed off more pregnant belly than she was comfortable with. The people at the barracks still didn't know. She hoped that when she told them, they wouldn't ask that many questions. Her and Fang had thought about it, they would play it off that they'd been trying with insemination and it finally took. It would be easiest. Only the people closest to them needed to know the truth. The people that wouldn't judge either of them.

The nausea had completely passed. But, Lightning soon found it to be replaced with odd food cravings. Thankfully, she was able to eat her food inside of her office, so people wouldn't see the odd combinations she'd been putting into her mouth. The behemoth steak, with chocolate sauce had quickly become her favorite. At first, Fang was disgusted by the mere thought of some a combination. But after Lightning had broken down in tears one night, at 3AM, Fang was left with no choice but to run to the 24-hour store in search of chocolate sauce. Fang no longer looked at her funny for requesting her chocolate behemoth.

Lightning stabbed her fork into a piece of steak that Fang had cooked for her the night before, she then dipped it into the jar of chocolate before popping it into her mouth. She was barely able to get the food into her mouth before her office door opened, and her commanding officer stood there with a strange look on his face. She quickly tried to get the chocolate off of her desk to hide the evidence, but it was already too late.

He closed the door behind him, eyeing her desk suspiciously. "Lightning… we've all been noticing some things lately."

She froze as she looked up at him. "What kind of things, sir." Her tongue darted out to lick a little bit of chocolate off of her lip that lingered from her last bite.

"Is everything alright at home with Fang?" He danced around the subject gently.

"Yes, sir. Everything's amazing." It wasn't a lie. Fang had been wonderful to her since she discovered she was pregnant.

"You don't seem as active as you used to be, Lightning. You used to be out on the course all the time with the new soldiers, always showing them a thing or two." He watched her shift uncomfortably in her seat. Then he spotted her place her hand subconsciously onto her swollen stomach. "Lightning?"

The Captain bit the inside of her lip. She knew she'd been caught, she could see Amodar's eyes as they landed on the hand that was on her own stomach. "I wanted to keep it a secret as long as I could… I guess I can't hide it anymore if everybody's noticing. I'm… I'm five months pregnant."

"What?" A smile quickly came to his face. "I didn't know you and Fang were trying. That's incredible Lightning." He came around the side of her desk to wrap her up in his arms.

"It… just kind of happened." She chuckled. It had just kind of happened, so she wasn't completely lying, but she wasn't completely telling the truth either.

"That's why you're always hiding in here with your chocolate." He laughed when her eyes shot open. "Oh, I notice things. Especially coming from someone who throws a fit if her routine is off by just a few minutes." Lightning blushed at his words. "I'm happy for you, Lightning." He patted her on the shoulder, "so, you don't need to try to hide that jar of chocolate sauce anymore." Her blush grew deeper as she put the jar back on top of her desk. "Do you know what it is?"

Lightning shook her head. "Not yet, sir." She was nervous to find out. Not like it mattered either way, but she was still nervous. Given Fang's condition, she knew there was a decent possibility that their child would be born the same way Fang had been. "We find out next week though." A smile threatened her lips, while she was nervous, yes, she was excited at the same time.

"Be sure to let me know, so I can buy the little Farron a gift."

"Yes, sir." She stabbed her fork into another piece of steak. Usually she would hold off while her commanding officer was in her office, but she was just so hungry. She glanced at him for a moment, then looked down at her jar. Screw it, she didn't care anymore. Lightning dipped the piece of steak into the jar before sticking it into her mouth, much to Amodar's amusement. "Sorry," she whispered, a heavy blush covering her cheeks.

"Don't worry about it. I remember when my sister was pregnant. Ate some of the oddest things imagined. Just… if others see you, they may not be so friendly about it."

"I know." She couldn't stop herself from taking another bite. "I guess… I'll have to get a new uniform soon…" She bit her lip as she looked down at her taut jacket.

Amodar laughed at her before speaking, "I'll have another one ready for you tomorrow." He tilted his head to the side to look at her swollen stomach. "I'll get you one with room to grow."

"Thank you, sir." She diverted her eyes from him. She was suddenly feeling very self-conscious under his gaze. Lightning had always been very particular about her body, but now, as she gained weight, she could barely handle it. He wasn't the only one who examined her as she would walk by in the hallways.

"I'll leave you to finish your lunch. And, I'll make sure there's always something chocolate available in the cafeteria.

She chuckled at him before watching him leave her office. She reached out with her fork, only to find her container of steak was empty. "Dammit." She cursed under her breath before reaching for her bag. Hopefully the cafeteria had something decent. As she pulled out her credit chip, she stood up to make her way across the barracks. Lightning made a quick mental note to start bringing more food with her. Over the last couple of weeks, 'Fang's demon spawn,' as she dubbed their child, was always hungry. Therefore, she was always hungry.

XXXXXX

The soldier hummed to herself as she stood at the kitchen counter, cutting up some vegetables for dinner. Fang had to stay a little later at work, but Lightning didn't mind. She used the opportunity to make a nice dinner for them both. She picked up a piece of the carrot she'd just cut up and popped it into her mouth. The rest of what was on the cutting board, she pushed into the pan that already contained potatoes and a few other things.

Lightning placed the cutting board into the sink before she turned to go to the refrigerator. "Oh…" she gasped softly when she felt a sudden, and somewhat sharp pressure near her rib cage.

The movement caused her to completely stop in her tracks. Both of her hands came up to cradle her stomach. She felt it again. Sure, Lightning had felt a little bit of movement before, but it had never been enough to feel from the outside. A joyful half laugh left her lips when she felt a very tiny foot against the palm of her hand. Their baby was kicking.

"Hi, honey," she whispered down at her own stomach. "You're going to be strong, just like your mama aren't you?" Her hands found their way under her long sleeved shirt to caress her own skin. "Don't worry, sweetheart, your mama will be home soon and we can eat. Okay?" Lightning giggled happily when she felt one more kick against her hand before the movement stopped. Apparently their child was satisfied with her words.

"Hi, mom."

Lightning jumped about a foot in the air before spinning around to come face to face with a smirking Fang. "Hi yourself, mama." It had become common for them to refer to each other as mom and mama. Lightning reached for the fridge handle to fetch the chicken that had been thawing since that morning. "How long have you been standing there?"

Fang watched her wife place the package on the counter before rolling up her sleeves to wash her hands. "Came in about the time of 'you're gonna be strong, just like your mama.' Do ya always talk to it?" Fang cringed some. Both of them hated referring to their child as an it. But, soon they would know whether or not it was a boy a girl.

Lightning blushed heavily, then gasped when she felt a sharp kick. "Come here." She demanded as she reached quickly for Fang's hands. When her wife was in front of her, she lifted the front of her shirt and pressed her hands flat against her swollen stomach.

"What am I-" her eyes shot open when a swift kick to her left palm interrupted her question. "Oh, wow…" Fang looked down at her wife's abdomen in pure fascination. "Is that… that our baby?" She was answered with yet another kick to her hand. She traced her thumb against Lightning's soft skin in response.

"Yea, that's our baby." Lightning slid one of her hands up into her wife's wavy hair to pull her close for a slow, sensual kiss. The type of kiss that always left Fang wanting more. "Why don't you go and shower while I finish dinner?"

The Pulsian stole another kiss before murmuring, "after dinner, you're mine." Lightning shivered against her before pushing on her shoulders. "Alright, love. I'm going."

"Yes, please do, before I take you on the table." Lightning turned her back to her wife to continue cooking. "What are you doing?" She moaned when Fang pressed herself to her back. Lightning couldn't help the way she pressed her behind into Fang's crotch, especially when she felt how hard she was already becoming. The past few weeks, she'd found herself turned on and ready to jump her wife at just the slightest of touches. Something neither of them minded much.

"Getting' a little snack before dinner." Fang reached around her wife to shut the stove off, with no protests from the blond, she wrapped her arms around her waist from behind. One of her hands snaked into the sweatpants that Lightning wore.

"Fang…" she soldier arched back against her wife, her left hand slid down to guide her wife's hand into her core. Her other hand snaked up and got lost in Fang's hair, "don't tease me. Please." Lightning whimpered loudly when two of Fang's fingers intruded on her.

"You're absolutely drippin'." Fang moaned against Lightning's ear as she thrust her fingers into her wife. "You're always so wet and ready for me."

The pregnant woman's hips rocked violent against Fang's hand. She just loved when Fang talked to her like that. "Fang… fuck," she moaned loudly, "baby, please, I need you." She continued to grind back against her wife's erection.

"Tell me what ya need, love." Fang continued to thrust her fingers into her wife. Her other hand came down to unsnap her own jeans.

Lightning continued rocking her hips. Her mind was so hazy from the pleasure that was coursing through her, that she had no idea how things had escalated so quickly. She moaned with need as she pushed her own sweatpants halfway down her thighs. "I need you to fuck me. Ah!" She whimpered loudly when Fang ran her rock hard member along her dripping core. Lightning couldn't remember the last time they had a quickie in the kitchen. She moaned at the mere thought.

"Anything for you." Fang placed kisses along Lightning's exposed neck before extracting her fingers. She eased her wife away from the stove before pressing gently between her shoulder blades to get her to bend at the waist. Without another word, she sheathed herself inside her very willing wife. They both moaned loudly at the sensation.

Lightning was thankful for the brief moment that her wife gave her to adjust. She knew it wouldn't take long to reach her orgasm with the way Fang had already worked her up. Lightning started rocking her hips back, hoping to give Fang the hint.

Thankfully, Fang knew all of her signals. The Pulsian's hands gripped her hips to hold her steady as she started up a relentless pace. "Fuck." They both moaned out at the same time. Fang knew it wouldn't take long for her. Whenever Lightning was so needy, it turned her on more than anything else. She reached around to the front of Lightning's body to pinch her clit between two of her fingers.

That simple action caused the soldier to clamp down against Fang's member as a powerful orgasm washed over her. "Oh, Etro." Her body continued to quiver as Fang thrust several more times inside of her before she felt several spurts of Fang's hot seed inside of her. Lightning pushed herself upright and twisted her head back to capture Fang's lips with her own.

Both of them groaned when the Pulsian slowly pulled her softening member from the soldier. They shared several soft kisses before Lightning laughed softly. "I love you." She reached down to fix her sweatpants, then placed her hands on Fang's hips to pull her close again. "I love that you're always so willing for me."

"How can I complain?" Fang fixed her jeans before kissing her wife again. She slowly backed away, "gonna go get that shower now, shame ya can't join me."

"I would, but our child needs to eat." She turned to wash her hands before cutting open the package of chicken.

"There's always after dinner." Fang placed her hands on Lightning's hips, only to have them shaken off.

"Go, so I can finish cooking." Lightning giggled softly as Fang placed a teasing kiss to her cheek and left the kitchen. The soldier couldn't stop smiling. Etro, she loved that woman.

Someone should remind me in like a day or two to post chapter 6. Because I have this feeling I'm bound to forget again :( I'm SO sorry about that. I swear this story IS done. all 7 chapters of it is done.

I have another Fang and Lightning story finished, it's like 13 chapters I believe, but I haven't had a chance or the motivation to read over it to fix any imperfections in it. Plus, i don't want to really post it until I'm finished with the second part of it. It's going to be a two part story.

That said, Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism is welcome, it always is :)
