Craze: Raven~ It's here~. HELLO PEOPLE! I'm officially posting another one-shot. This story will be a fairly fluffy story with NO SMUT! I just don't roll that way when I write. Any who I'm ready and I seriously hope you are. So with this said I present to you The Hunters One-Shots: Baby Trouble. Oh and just by the way Raven and I are WAYYYYYYYYY older in this story then in Raven, Compass's, or even my other story. Instead of 14 I would say around 25. Maybe older all depends.
Disclaimer: Look back at chapter 1 the same disclaimer applies here.
Crazy's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe it. Turning to raven I saw the same look of disbelief on her face. It seemed that I couldn't form coherent words. As I felt my hand wander and lightly run over my stomach. Raven kept her gaze steadily on the nurse as if trying to think about how to say what she was planning to ask.
"Are you absolutely sure?" She asked almost meekly. This didn't help my nerves. Raven has never truly been afraid of anything. If Raven's afraid of something then you better stay away from it or it will screw you up. The nurse seemed to notice both of our distress and took it apon herself to try and calm us down.
"Sweethearts, I'm positive, but it's not as bad as you think. I mean I would love to have a baby of my own. Besides, your men are faithful. I could never imagine either one of them leaving you over something like this. Now I'm giving you these packets of information. They will explain everything you need to know about you pregnancy. If you have anymore questions just feel free to come and talk to me at any point." The kind blonde told us. We both mustered smiles as we gave her a hug and left.
"I can't believe it." Raven mumbled under her breath and I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement. Our lives were just flipped right on top of our heads. No more fighting, no more sparing, no more eating whatever we want and doing what we want. Our biggest variable is the father of our children though. I know what our friend, Chicky who was the nurse, told us is true but I couldn't help as worrying thoughts circled around my mind as we both stressed about their reactions. It's not eh easiest thing to hear that you are suddenly becoming a father. As we walked we accidently ran straight into the cause of our thoughts, quiet literally. Well actually raven more so bumped into and kept walking before compass grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to us.
I, on the other hand, ran headfirst into Mr. Enderman. Before I could make contact with the ground he caught me by the waist. Our faces were inches apart as I stared into his almost ice blue eyes. Quickly he returned to my pervious upright position. I gave him a smile and thank you as he let me go and I gravitated closer to Raven. Neither one of us really felt like telling them everything right now would be a very good idea. We had to wait for the perfect timing.
"Where have you girls been? We've been looking for you everywhere! Did Crazy drag you off somewhere?" Compass stated as he tried to interrogate us. I felt my temper rise with the last comment as I strode closer to him. It didn't take much to tick me off and my brother just had a knack for doing so. I don't know why or how he does it but it simply must be a sibling thing.
"No Mr. I-Can't-Survive-A-Day-Without-My-Girlfriend I didn't drag her off thank you very much." I all but growled out. With these words we ignited a war with words. Raven on the other hand wanted nothing to do with this. She seemed to know that if we didn't stop now moves would be made that would lead to blows. Taking action the blonde jumped in between us and pushed us back as we both fought against her hold. That only seemed to annoy her more.
"AND THIS IS WHY I'M IN THE MIDDLE!" She said revering to our formation. It was true that she was in the middle not only because of the distance range of our weapons but because we always travel in the formation there would be fights hourly. Even though we always fight with each other we still care for one another. Like I said before it must just be a sibling thing. Counting backwards from ten I slowly started to calm down and simply stepped back. I knew that I had to stop and not get into fights. It wouldn't have a happy outcome for me or my developing child.
Raven let out a sigh and relaxed knowing that we had both given up on trying to get into a fight. With that we returned back to the pervious question of where we had been. Raven, being Raven, simply told them a little bit edited version of where we had been. When they had both heard that we had been in the infirmary, I swear that both nearly had a heart attack. Compass began looking over us as did Mr. Enderman. It took forever to get them to knock it off. Eventually after a little chat that the two were actually going to go spar so we left them to it. We continued our way home.
As we walked I felt into a day dream which was nothing new. In it I held a small child in my arms. The little girl was a brunette with amazing natural red and blonde highlights. Her eyes were a breath taking blue, actually they reminded my a lot of Mr. Enderman's. As I continued to hold her and bounce her I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. Whipping my head over to the side I came face to face with familiar blue eyes. Instantly I relaxed into the hold as I could hear the girl call him 'daddy'. I was in amazement how heavenly this felt. Sadly I was taken out of my imagination by a loud racket. Thankfully it was just a cat hopping off of a trash can. Raven and I laughed at each other about how paranoid we were action.
*A few weeks later*
Raven and I were sitting across from Compass and Mr. Enderman. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't seem to make eyes contact with the latter as I tried to stop my shaking and irrational fears. Raven, on the other hand, seemed to be doing much better then I was. Both of them gave us weird looks as they knew with the way we were acting way out of character which just fed to make them even more on edge.
Raven had decided that the sooner we told them the better we would feel and I couldn't help but agree. It was like taking off a Band-Aid, do it fast and don't think about the pain. With this in mind we decided that today would be the day. We had decided that compass's house would work. After years of living in the city of budder we had invested in our separate housing so finding a place to make a announcement wasn't too troubling. at the moment Raven and I were sweating bullets for what we were about to tell the two that sat across from us from the dinning room table. Each of us had a cup of ice cold punch in our hands. I would have loved it if my stomach wasn't so topsy-tervy.
"Guys we have something to tell you." Raven spoke out confidently. But unlike her, I stared off to the side trying to pretend that I didn't exist and couldn't feel the burning stare of my lover. Out of the corner of my eye I could see them each give a nod, signaling that we could and should go on. taking a large gulp I shared a look with Raven before I let her take over once again.
"Well Ummm..." She spoke out. Giving a quiet one two three we both spoke at the same time.
"We're Pregnant." Both of us blurted out as I closed my eyes tightly. From the death grip on my hand, Raven had shut her eyes as well. That's why when I felt the bone crushing hand be ripped out of mine, my eyes popped open on command for me to come face to face with a flying foot.
Reacting quickly I ducked under the object and shuffled back on reflex. Turns out Compass had been so overjoyed that he picked up poor Raven and twirled her around. Now don't get me wrong, I love my brother's relationship with Raven, but I was not too happy with him for nearly hitting me with his girlfriend. Apparently I hadn't been the only one, for when I went to open my mouth to speak someone had beat me to the finish.
"Hey! Are you trying to kill my family? Because that stunt you just pulled might have coasted your life if the outcome was different." Came the gruff response as Mr. Enderman pulled me backwards into a embrace. He didn't mean it though he was just... Overprotective. Compass apologized to the both of us after Raven hit him over the head. After the little dispute, Raven and I were bombarded with questions from the two. I wouldn't have traded that day for anything.
*6 months later* Raven's P.O.V.
I woke up later but didn't have any issue with it. After everyone had found out about me and Crazy being pregnant (Which didn't take to long with Compass running around and only seeming to be able to talk about how excited he was to be a father and uncle,) they put us on bed rest. Now we really had nothing to entertain us. Both of us were playing the role of the classic house wife and we could both agree that it didn't match our style. After everything was over we were so going to get to fighting again.
The second I saw crazy at our designated spot so we could go shopping for food, I knew that today was going to be a long day. She had her hair down, cascading in soft waves down her back as she wore a maternity dress that showed off her growing stomach. As I looked at her face I could see a several strong emotions shine through. Why, oh why did pregnant women have to be so moody? With this thought in mind I walked up to her.
"I can't believe him!" She screamed in frustration causing bystanders to turn in shock. Realizing It was Crazy they quickly evacuated the area. Lets just say you didn't want to be around with her being this moody. Honestly how Mr. Enderman dealt with her I would never know. And that's another thing! Almost everything that upset her was his doing. He had no clue how to try and not make her emotional, yet this seemed to be worse then usual. With a sigh I decided to tempt fate and asked her what was wrong.
Oh god how I regret it.
"Okay, I had woken up in a happy cheerful mood, so I decided to be nice and made Mr. Enderman some breakfast. I had slaved away in the heat from the stove trying to make sure everything was just right. Well once I had finished he came down to eat and...and." She seemed to get chocked up at this as tears gathered in her eyes. Worry started to make it's self known in myself as I couldn't help but worry for my practical sister. giving her a small comforting pat on the back as I waited for her to continue.
"After he took a bite he asked me for SALT!" She then broke down into sobs as I resisted the urge to face palm. Yet she continued to just blabber on.
"I then told him no and we got into a fight! Eventually he left with Compass. Does he not love me anymore? Is this, his way of telling me? Oh I'm horrible! I'm completely despicable!" She wailed. Getting fed up of her theater antics and knowing I wouldn't be able to get a word in, I gave her a small slap. Nothing that would seriously harm her though. Thankfully she zipped her lip and let me talk.
"Crazy listen to me, Mr. Enderman he loves you! Sure you'll get into fights but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you anymore." I told her as I watched her face light up like that of a happy-go-lucky child she was. Yup, Crazy was back to normal again. How long that will last is still yet to be determined. Keeping this in mind we continued our day. After Crazy and Mr. Enderman talked it out everything went back to normal for the night.
Now all I have to do is repeat the process again tomorrow, lucky me. Feel free to note the sarcasm seeping from that sentence.
*3 hours later*
I woke from a dead sleep to endure a very sharp pain coming from my abdomen area. A trickle of what felt like water leaked down my leg and that's when it all clicked together.
I was going into labor.
Waking up Compass wasn't much of an issue. What was, was that he was so panicked that you would have thought he was the pregnant one here. I tell you, telling him to calm down was like telling a ADHD kid on a sugar high to sit still. After much yelling and rushing around, I eventually found myself surrounded by Compass and Crazy, as our youngest member didn't feel like dragging her sleep-deprived father-to-be out with her. We were about to start to have me push and to say I was livid didn't even match with how I was feeling.
"Compass?" I gritted out between clenched teeth. He whips his head in my direction to motion me to continue.
"You do realize I'm going to kill you after this right?" I ask but just before he could answer Chicky (Who was my and Crazy's midwife as well) ordered me to push. I couldn't help but scream at the pain of feeling like I was being ripped in two. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see both Compass and Crazy wilt under the strength of my grip on both their hands. From that moment on I knew it was going to be a long night.
*1 hour later*
The pain subsided and was forgotten as I held my precious baby boy in my arms. Compass almost exploded when he found out the gender and cooed at him for a while before actually letting me hold him. I could already tell he was going to be a blonde like me but he had his father's eyes. I looked over to see Crazy cradling her stomach lovingly, already thinking of when she would be able to hold her own child in her arms. Soon enough though she had to go home.
*6 days later* Crazy's P.O.V.
It was about noon when my stomach started to hurt a bit but I shrugged it off as nothing. The only issue was that the longer time progressed, the worst they got. About 2 was when my water broke. The jolt of pain had me on my knees clutching my stomach. I couldn't even move as I trembled in pain, not able to receive help because the father of my child was out with my brother leaving me all alone. A sudden knock at my door reminded me that today I was going to watch my nephew Jamie along with Raven. Throwing away my pride for the moment I called for Raven's help which received in having her successively pick my lock and open my door before she rushed me to the hospital. From then on I was alone with Chicky who kept talking to me and trying to sooth me with calming words as raven was contacting Compass and Mr. Enderman. Once Raven returned with Jamie in her arms, Chicky told me that we couldn't wait. since Raven had her child, she couldn't stay and was ushered out while I had tears gather in my eyes. To say I was scared was the biggest understatement of the year. So with that I went into labor.
*1 hour later*
Gripping the bed sheets I watched as my lover and brother came into the room panicking. Tears freely fell from my face as I practically begged them to come over. With this simple move I felt like a little girl again as I clutched onto Compass's hand like I did when we were first on our own. Yet seeing Mr. Enderman's hand in mine brought me back to reality.
*1 hour later*
Cry's of a baby rung out threw the room as I collapsed on the bed. Not long after I was forced to drink some water before being handed my baby girl. She reminded me of the child I had seen in my day dream and that is when I knew everything was going to be okay at least. Me and Mr. Enderman shared a look before we spoke together.
"Crystal Marie." We both agreed as everyone passed her around to take turns holding.
And that is how our group of four grew to six.
