Hiccups and Shocks

"Why oh won't these damn things go away for!" Vegeta cried out in dismay only for it to happen again, and again, "Damn it! Are you sure there is not a way for me to kill these little-"

"I'm sure Vegeta," Harry said quickly with an amused smirk plastered on his face, "What you are suffering from is merely the hiccups, it's nothing to worry about, you just ate to fast is all, they'll go away in their own time."

"Merely! Merely!" Vegeta cried out as he turned to glare at his petite mate, "These 'mere' hiccups are going to be the death of me! I have had them for hours now!"

"Hours?" Harry asked with a soft snort, "Not likely, you've only had the hiccups for five minutes."

"Saiyan time is different to human time," Vegeta replied with a huff, "Besides you-HICCUP!"

"Poor you," Harry snickered before turning back to the movie playing on the TV in front of them.

It felt like it was just yesterday to Harry when a strange proud and stubborn man suddenly appeared in the Great Hall and swept Harry off of his feet and making Harry his mate. Harry still could not believe Vegeta's first courting gift to him, he had arrived in the Great Hall with his friends for Tea only to find Vegeta standing in the doorway blocking entrance to everyone while holding the dead body of Voldemort in one hand like a lifeless ragdoll. To this very day Harry could not suppress the amusement he felt when Vegeta had spotted him in the crowd of students and staff. Vegeta had marched straight up to him and proudly dumped Voldemort's lifeless body at Harry's feet before asking, "Can we start rebuilding the Saiyan population now my mate?" And with that one bad yet oddly sweet line Harry soon found himself living in a far off land with his sometimes a pain in the arse mate.

"Make them stop! Do your duty as my mate and look after me!" Vegeta growled out threateningly only for it to lose its effect as he burst into a fresh wave of hiccups.

"Don't talk to me like that," Harry growled out darkly, "You do remember what happened the last time you talked to me like that."

"Stupid human magic user," Vegeta said between hiccups as he turned back to the TV with a pout much to Harry's delight.

After a few moments of silence Harry shot his mate a sly yet nervous look before speaking.

"... Vegeta-love?"

"What?" Vegeta asked moodily through he turned to face his mate.

Frowning Vegeta looked over his mate only to find several things wrong, the first being that Harry had his hands on his stomach in an almost protective manor and his whole body language spoke of anxiety while Harry's complexion was slightly pale.

"I have something to tell you," Harry said slowly as he looked deeply into his mates eyes through his fringe.

"What is it?" Vegeta asked nervously, "You know you can...hiccup...tell me anything my mate."

"Well...you see...the thing is," Harry said slowly as his gaze fell down to his stomach, "Our family is going to be growing very soon."

"What do you mean?" Vegeta asked with a frown as his eyes followed Harry's gaze only for realisation to hit him, "You...You mean...I...you...we..."

"Yeah, I am," Harry said shyly as he kept his gaze firmly on his stomach, "In a few months time you are going to be a daddy Vegeta."

Harry held his breath and kept his gaze downwards, he knew that telling Vegeta about his pregnancy at a time like this wasn't the best idea but it was the first time in weeks that they had been able to sit down together. Taking a deep breath Harry waited for the expected outburst and hiccups only to find that they never came. With a frown firmly planted on his face Harry nervously raised his gaze only to let out a snort at the sight that meet him.

Vegeta had fainted at the news of Harry's pregnancy.

"Well at least Vegeta no longer has the hiccups," Harry said softly to himself with his eyes shining with amusement and happiness.

Until the next prompt...
