After the ball in Far Far Away for Shrek and Fiona's marriage, Shrek and Fiona decided to stay in the castle for the rest of their lives, or at least in Far Far Away since they were humans now.
It was weird for Shrek to wake up as a human, but he enjoyed seeing himself as a sexy man and not a hideous ogre, according to the kingdom. He even enjoyed the fact that Fiona enjoyed being a human than an ogre.
Shrek had to agree with the potion: both of them were extremely hot, and others in the kingdom would get jealous of them if they walked by together. Like the maids that saw Shrek in their barn, the women in the kingdom got excited if he waved to them or said "hello" to them.
Even the fairy tale characters who helped Shrek, Donkey, and Puss get out of jail stayed in Far Far Away. Of course, Donkey and Puss stayed in Far Far Away with them because, according to Donkey, they were Shrek's best friends.
It was three days after the ball, and it was morning, which meant the kingdom was now waking up. Like most mornings, Shrek woke up before Fiona because she has to get her beauty sleep since she's a princess.
He sat up in the bed, and he looked over at his gorgeous wife, who was still sound asleep. He smiled at her, and he said quietly, "She's so gorgeous." He stood up next to his bed, still watching her.
Shrek thought, how in the world could she choose me over Prince Charming? He is far more charming than me, but oh well. She loves me, and I love her.
His smile, according to the kingdom, was far more charming than anyone else's. If Shrek laughed or smiled, everyone knew it was him. Even if a woman in the kingdom was married, they could feel this feeling towards Shrek whenever they saw him.
They all knew he was the most charming man in the kingdom, even though he was originally an ogre.
Shrek walked to the bathroom that was in Fiona's room. He had no shirt on, so his abs really showed in the mirror. Shrek even looked at his abs, and he thought, I am not this overweight monster anymore. I am this muscular, normal human like everyone else.
That's what he truly wanted, other than marrying Fiona: getting others to like him, and hopefully getting to be like others.
He smiled when he saw his abs, but then he looked at the corner of his eye, seeing Donkey and Puss staring right at him. He yelled in fright, and he faced them.
Puss was on Donkey's back, and Donkey walked into the bathroom. He said, "Jeez, Shrek. No need to yell. I didn't mean to scare you at all."
Shrek frowned, and he said, "Of course you didn't. You just had to watch me go to the bathroom."
Shrek shook his head and faced the mirror again. He said, "You almost made me wake up Fiona. She would not like that if I did."
Puss said, smirking, "Not meaning to look, Boss, but you have some nice abs." Of course he was going to look; it was Puss.
Shrek, however, did enjoy the compliment because he does love his new form. He said, "Thanks. I didn't really work to get them, but that potion was a miracle worker."
Shrek smiled, and then Fiona groaned in the other room because she was about to wake up. Shrek, Donkey, and Puss gasped, and Shrek turned around. He said, "Great. She's going to wake up!"
Donkey asked, "Why are you so worked up about her waking up? She is your wife, and you have been sleeping next to her for about a month now."
Shrek said quietly, hoping she doesn't wake up, "I have learned the hard way that Fiona likes to sleep in. She likes to sleep until 9:30, and it's only 8:00."
Luckily, Fiona was still sleeping, and they all stared at her. Puss said, "She is pretty hot when she sleeps."
Shrek rolled his eyes, and he said, "Shut up, Puss. She's mine." Puss rolled his eyes, and he said, "I understand that, Boss. I am just saying that because it is neat that she is your wife."
Shrek said, "Well, hell yeah it is. It was weird. When Donkey and I saved her, I never knew that I was going to fall in love with her, and I never thought she was going to do the same. It just didn't look right at first, but now it does."
Donkey smiled, and thought, he actually included me in a story for once!
Donkey said, "But look at you guys now. Happy, sexy, everything a perfect couple is. I always knew that you and Fiona loved each other, Shrek."
Shrek smiled, and he said, "Well, thanks, Donkey." He thought, I honestly hate the fact that I was mean to him all this time.
Shrek said, "I am going to get dressed, and I am going to walk around the kingdom again."
Puss asked, "Again? Have you been up already?"
Shrek walked out of the bathroom, and whispered, "No. I take these walks around the kingdom in the morning. Maybe you guys haven't noticed or something."
They followed him as he was putting on a shirt and some was also a prince, so he had to sort of dress up, even when taking a walk.
Donkey and Puss watched Shrek put on his clothes, staring at all his huge muscles. Puss thought, damn, where can I get those bad boys?
Donkey, on the other hand, only had his jaw dropped. He was shocked to see Shrek turn into a handsome human after he was a… an ogre.
When Shrek was finished getting dressed, he glanced over at Fiona, who was still sleeping. He smiled, and he walked next to her. Donkey asked, "What are you doing?!"
Shrek chuckled lightly, and he gently kissed Fiona on the side of the head. He whispered, "I love you so much, Fiona." He usually did this in the morning when she was asleep, so it was like watching a short film on replay.
Donkey and Puss smiled at him, and Shrek told them, walking towards the door, "Let's go."
Donkey and Puss nodded, and they both followed him out of the castle. Like every other morning, no one noticed Shrek walking out of the castle.
Surprisingly, this morning in the kingdom, more people seemed to be awake at 8:10 in the morning. Shrek enjoyed the sight of the people walking around.
When Shrek, Donkey, and Puss were fully out of the castle, they started walking down the concrete sidewalk that lead to the heart of the kingdom.
During their walk, Donkey asked, "Shrek, did you really get a chance to talk to Charming?"
Shrek frowned at the thought of Prince Charming, and he said, "Hell, no. I am not talking to him at all. If he wants to talk to me, then I will talk to him. Other than that I will not bother."
Donkey said, "Yeah. I wouldn't either, especially if he tried to pretend to be me." Shrek frowned while thinking, yeah, he tried to be me! The only person that can be me is me! No one else!
Puss asked, "Where do you guys think he went after the ball?"
Donkey explained, "Gingy and Wolf told me that he was acting in a play at the Poisoned Apple. He's trying to make some money there, but he is failing miserably."
Shrek chuckled, and said, "See, guys? Karma is a bitch. Just know that. He deserves nothing after what he tried to do to me and Fiona."
Donkey said, "You're right, Shrek. He might as well get out of here. He is hated now ever since the ball. People are actually making fun of him."
Shrek smiled, and he said, "Good." They all laughed together because they knew they didn't give a damn about Charming.
They just continued to walk down the sidewalk, getting closer to town every step. Some women they walked by said, "Oh my God, it's Prince Shrek!" or "He is so hot. Princess Fiona is lucky."
Shrek knew that he could hear them, and he smiled whenever he heard a compliment. Donkey and Puss tried to look cute as well, but all the eyes were on Shrek.
Puss asked, "Boss, how can you get so much attention?" Shrek laughed, and thought, I don't really try to get the attention, but I do.
Shrek said, smirking, "I am not so sure, Puss. I just walk around, and everyone drools over me. The bad thing for them is that I am married, and I am a prince."
Then, a small group of women stopped them in the middle of the sidewalk. They were all blushing and smiling at Shrek.
He smiled, and said, "Well, hello ladies. Can I help you?" The women shrieked or gasped when he spoke, and Shrek smiled at them.
He thought, they're cute, but not my type. One of the women asked, "So, how is it like being married to Princess Fiona?"
Shrek smiled, and thought, this should make them go away because I am not letting them force me on them. he said, "I love it. I love Fiona because she is just perfect. I think no one can replace her because she is stunning and kind."
The women said sadly, dropping their heads, "Oh." They hoped that Shrek would say something bad about it, but, of course, he didn't.
Another woman said, "Okay. Goodbye, sir." They all walked sadly away, and Donkey and Puss frowned at Shrek, who smiled when they left.
Donkey asked, frustrated at Shrek, "Now what was the meaning of that?"
Shrek shrugged, and he said, "What? They know I am not going to leave Fiona. I love her too much. Plus they were kind of annoying. Even just standing there because they wanted to force themselves on me."
Puss said, nodding slowly, "You're right. Good choice, Boss." Shrek rolled his eyes and thought, you guys now think that?
They then continued to walk around the kingdom until 9:15.
But, little did they know, Fiona had woken up about an hour before 9:30. When she woke up, she gasped when she didn't see Shrek laying next to her in the bed.
She immediately sat up in her bed, and she asked, "Where could Shrek be?" She started to stand up, but when she did, she felt her stomach turning.
She clutched her stomach, and she said, "What the hell?" Then, she could feel vomit starting to run up her throat. She thought, oh God.
Fiona covered her mouth, and she ran to the bathroom. She immediately threw up in the toilet, and she thought, what the hell is going on? I felt fine all week, and then this happens.
When she felt like she was done, she stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. Her red braid fell on the shoulder, and she looked closely at her pale face.
Fiona wiped her mouth with a towel, and she said, "Well, I don't know what to do. I don't know what's happening."
Fiona started to walk back to her bed, and she sat down slowly on it. She was breathing heavily, and she said, "I am vomiting, and I have no idea where Shrek is. I am screwed right now."
It may not look like it, but Fiona could get really dramatic about things, including things like this.
She thought, I don't remember feeling sick at all this week or the week before. Maybe it was food poisoning? Or…
The first thing that she realized, and that she was proud of until now, she hasn't been on her period at all. Her period was late… by four weeks.
Fiona gasped, and she started to feel tears come up in her eyes. She said, "No. No! It just can't be! Shrek is going to be furious! It just can't be!"
Obviously, she didn't feel like being pregnant. It seemed pretty early to think that, but she was thinking it, alright.
Fiona stood up, tears running down her face. She could feel cramps in her lower stomach, and she thought, I swear, if I am pregnant…
She screamed, loud enough for the whole entire castle to hear her. She was breathing heavily, and then, her mother ran into the room.
Lillian closed the door, and Fiona faced her. Lillian asked, "Fiona, what's wrong?!"
Fiona ran to her, and hugged her. She was sobbing in her shoulder, and she sobbed, "Mom… how do you know if you are pregnant?"
Lillian's eyes shot wide open, and she asked, "What? Why? Do you think you are?"
Fiona sobbed harder, and she said, "Tell me how you know if you are! Now!"
Lillian rubbed Fiona's back, and she kissed her head. Fiona was scared as hell because she did not want to be pregnant, especially at this time.
Lillian said, calmly, "Well, sweetheart, you can tell if you're pregnant if your period is late by at least three weeks or so, and if you are starting to vomit. You may also have cramps."
Fiona sobbed even harder, and she screamed, "Oh my God!" Lillian could feel tears running down her eyes as well, and she asked, "Are you… are you having these symptoms?"
Fiona nodded, and she said, "I'm… pregnant, Mom."
