Ch. 7
This Day can't be any
(7 week, 1month)
As the gang drove back to the house, Rigby had a slight headache. It sucked how he couldn't take any pain killers because of his pregnancy. Mordecai was reading the book that the nurse have gave him and everyone else. There was also a video in on of the books called 'Mother To Be'. Benson had told everyone they had to watch the movie before they could go back to whatever they were doing.
Once a few minutes later had past, the rain had slowed down. As it was now around 1pm, so it seem the day is almost over. Rigby was the first one to run in the house, Mordecai ran after him.
He went in the kitchen, he wasn't there but he got a clue when he heard a gagging sound upstairs. Benson gave the tape to Skips and he headed up stairs. Muscle Men and HFG just stare at the stairs, they were thinking about something.
"Aren't you guys gonna come sit?"
"It's kind of strange knowing Rigby was a girl all this time you know."
"He isn't totally a hundred percent a girl, but at least you don't have to share a room with pregnant dude."
"You know who else is pregnant with a dude." "One of my friends in high school, she was a good friend of my but she got pregnant at the age 16, now she works at fast-food."
With that small and awkward silence Benson and Rigby came back downstairs. The two made there way to the couch, Rigby sitting in the middle with Benson sitting on his right and Mordecai on the left. Skips standing up behind Mordecai and Muscle Men, HFG and Pops standing close to Benson. Skips turn on the television with the remote, the main menu had three options, Start, scenes and credits.
The video began with a cartoon chicken who was hen. She was wearing a pink dress that expose her big butt and pink small hat. She began talking in baby talk, like if the video was made for children to understand.
Benson grabbed the book where the VCR was in, surprising it was made for children. Despise he didn't wanted to watch something that's seems too stupid, he thought this could be the cleaner version and maybe even shorter.
"Hello there, my name is Clare the Chicken. Your here to watch how your mommy and daddy having a baby. Your going to know why mommy has a big tummy and other baby stuff. If I were you I would keep close attention. If you forget anything in this video, your all welcome to read the book to what to know.
"Maybe by now your mommy or daddy have told you, your going to have another [Sister/Brother] and you want to be ready. You can see your mommy is going to be home for the next 9 months, it does sound a lot but it goes super fast. "
"Here is how the months are gonna go for your mommy, it's called the three trimester. For the first one to 12 weeks its gonna be a rough time, so support your mommy. She's gonna be feeling nausea, increase urination, fatigue, food cravings, dizziness and mood swings. Now doesn't that sound too many things for one mommy, well not all things can always happen."
Rigby gulp.
"Now for the second trimester is going to be the longest one and you going to see mommy tummy get big. What she's gonna experience belly growing, stretch marks, more dizziness,leg cramps, shortness of breathe, more mood swings, and weak contractions. If you want to know what's a contraction, it's when the body is making room so well oh oh its something maybe you little ones don't need to know this part. But the best part is around the 18-22 week you can know if your having a baby sister or brother."
Rigby was shaking.
"And finally and is the three trimester which will only last for 15 weeks left or shorter. Sometimes mommies might go into early labor before there due date. Buts it normal for this to happen, meaning the baby wanted to come out early. Not so much things are gonna happen for this last one breast will grow large, back pain but very strong, more shortness of breathe, swelling of the feet, more going to restroom, and much much stronger contractions."
"hahah Rigby gonna get some pecs"
"Shut up Muscle Man!"
I hope your mommy and daddy were watching the video with you, they have a long rode together. When your daddy is too busy at work, it's nice to help your mommy, giving her a glass of water and a big fluffy pillow. Thank You for Watching and hope to see you soon again."
Benson click the remote button to turn off the television, he pulled out the book that the nurse had gave him. He looked at Rigby and handed it to him.
"The video sure did have a lot of things what your going to go thru. Maybe this fifth grade book can help you, when you have a question."
"..." Rigby just stared at the book then taking it from his hands with nothing really to say.
Everything patted softly on Rigby's head, but Muscle Man wanted to give him a bros fist. Once the living room was quiet, Mordecai and Rigby were left on the couch. The two were staring at each other for a couple seconds till the blue jay broke the awkward silence.
"How about we play some video games huh?"
"..." The coon was still silent he was staring at the blank tv. He then placed two hands on his stomach. It was obvious he was in pain, because he rushed back upstairs having two hands covering his mouth.

Mordecai was taking a nap on the couch, while Rigby was upstairs reading the book. He was about to enter in his second trimester, so it wouldn't be long till his stomach will grow larger. He took the book in his mini trampoline and covering himself from the world. Late on when Rigby woke up from his little nap. He walked downstairs to grabbed a snack, he saw Mordecai and Pops eating pizza with soda.
"Well hello there mother to be, do you want a slice of pizza?"
"This is quite excited hearing we will have children walking around."
"I guess kids are okay, but it's pain at night when the baby is screaming it's head off."
"I dear hope so Rigby is capable to take a child. He does know he have to act as the mother and father role."
"Now that you said that, I could always be the cool uncle since Rigby is like a brother to me. So I'm also excited to be an uncle haha."
Rigby just gave a blank expression, who knows what will happen after the baby is here. The only thing he don't want to know is his parents and Don knowing he's going to have a kid. The raccoon place a pizza on a plate that was on the table. Pops said his good nights since it was already 10pm. The two men stayed in the kitchen finishing off the pizza.
"You know I got some plans to make with the girls tomorrow, do you wanna join in?"
"..." Rigby didn't feel like leaving out of the house. Or to even talk, Mordecai find this un-easy but at least he's not ignoring him. He watch Rigby eating his pizza but he pause.
"Mordecai do you find it weird how...you know..."
"Just a little bit, but your my bro and how can I reject you. I'm always here for you, so don't ever forget that man."
"Thanks, I feel so overwhelm about this whole situation. I just want to wake up from this bad dream."
"Just one question to ask you...are you...um gay. The reason I'm asking at all is I'm still been thinking about how you got feelings for the worse dude in high school."
"You can believe me or not, I think it was just the hormones that made me feel crazy. Because at the moment when...we did it...I felt like I was someone else, like I wasn't controlling me."
"So you don't have any feelings for guys?"
"Dude believe me, I won't touch you and I know how I feel. That's all you gotta know, I'm getting tired again so I'm going to head to bed."
Mordecai was left with an questionable answer, was Rigby gay? But he thought for a quick second, even if he was to be homosexual he still be his brother. It's enough he puts up with him and his trouble making. He threw away the pizza boxes and turn off lights to head up stairs. Before he enter in his room, he open the bathroom door to take a wiss. Awkwardly he saw Rigby having his head in the toilet. Mordecai slowly closed the door and waited outside. The sign of the toilet flushing made that Rigby was done using the bathroom.
Rigby pop his head out, he was staring up at Mordecai with a blank expression.
"Sorry dude I just knock next time, so are you up for tomorrow with the girls?"
Rigby looked at him with a towel covering his mouth. He than walk back into the room leaving the door half open. How long will he kept up this silentness, it's really starting to be annoying; maybe tomorrow Rigby might start talking once again.

The next day Benson have deiced to give everyone small jobs. But he had a talk with Rigby.
"Glad you came Rigby I have something very important to tell you. Please don't be upset in anyway but I have to lay you off."
"Are you serious Benson! I'm having a kid for god sakes. I need the money for the kid not me. Please don't fire me."
"I never said I was going to fire you, but park rules that anyone who isn't physically healthy can't work. As for you well your going to be under stress."
"You see I'm going to okay for this month. Just let me clean up the park and other very small jobs."
"As much I want you to work, I can't do anything about it Rigby. I'm sorry but me and others are here for your support for your child. Thank you for having this talk Rigby."
Benson helped the coon walking out of his office. With a small close from the door, Rigby flop his back onto the wall. He place two of his hands on his eyes, preventing them to let a single tear out. Reality was hitting him hard, no job to support his child when it comes to the world. Yeah he had the support from his friends but it's not enough being both parents.
"What can I do now...I'm so sorry for everything world. Was this a curse for me always having bad luck. If this was because of my troubleness so if it is, I promise to be the best parent to my child..or children..I hope you only give me one."

Mordecai was on the phone chatting up with Margaret for the date tonight. He wanted to take the girls to a sushi bar and to the state fair that was here for the weekend.
"Wow Mordecai you can always make the best plans. I can't wait for tonight, I see you at 7:30pm."
"What can I say I'm the fun guy to be around haha, alright later."
This was going to be the night he can hold hands to Margaret. One step closer from friend zone to a somebody in her life. He looked over at the stairs where Rigby was standing.
"Dude you better not eat lunch, we're going to a double date tonight."
"Wha? You never asked me if I was comfortable with this so called plan. I hate it when you do things before asking me."
"I'm sorry man, just please go with me. I pay for your food and your ticket to the fair."
"Fair, oh I remember the state fair was here for the weekend. I guess it explains all the garbage around the north gate at the park."
"It will mean a lot if you could come, I don't want Eileen to feel the third wheel. Plus I thought you like her, I remember you giving her a hug."
"I somewhat do, she seems like a legit person but I don't know. And I only gave her that hug because she help me to keep my job."
Mordecai gave Rigby a soft punch on his arm, it's his own way for a thank you when he didn't feel like saying it.
Night fall, it was around 7:20pm the night was clear with no rain and a little chilly. The boys were getting there jackets and money to go but Benson stop them.
"Before you guys go, Rigby I would advised you don't go any scary or fast rides. And don't eat any fish or under cook food."
"I might as well stay home, it seems like I can't do anything fun for the next damn nine months."
"He just saying those things because we care about your kid. Don't worry Benson I make sure he be okay."
The two made there way out of the house to the car who Mordecai rented for tonight. Rigby was still pouting, it did suck he couldn't eat sushi or go on the scary rides.
"Come on man don't be mad that you can't go on the rides."
"But I been waiting since last year, we couldn't go last time because Benson made us work till we couldn't even stand."
"I don't know why your complaining, your afraid of the ones that go high in the sky and fast ones too."
"STOPTALKING! I can go on those anytime. Let's make a bet huh."
"Rigby your really an idiot, your pregnant. Now help me to know which street Margaret's place was again."
"Oh well see when we get there.."
Mordecai didn't hear Rigby's last words since he was focus to find Margarets house. He saw the girls outside of the apartments dressing causal. Margaret wearing a purple jacket with some light blue skinny jeans. And Ellen wearing her side ponytail, cream color sweater and dark blue skinny jeans. They both also have a hint of perfume on.
"Good Evening my ladies where would you like to go tonight."
Margaret and Eileen giggle as Mordecai said in a British accent, both of the girls enter from Rigbys side of the car.
"We would like to go the Chi-Sushi Bar please."
"Sounds like a nice place to eat, don't you say Rigbers."
"Man cut it out, it's getting annoying."
Mordecai smile turn into a frown when Rigby interrupt the fun. Whos idea was to bring a pregnant raccoon with crazy mood swings to the party. Was more like written all over Rigbys face when he was staring back at Mordecai's face.
When they arrived to the restaurant, it was pack. But luckily Mordecai reserved a seat for the four. Eileen was walking next to Rigby she wanted to ask him something but stop herself to see his stomach. His jacket had a bump that was strange for her, but she asked him awkwardly.
"Hey not to be rude or anything, but you sure are gaining a lot of weight."
"..."
"Do you wanna jog with me? I wouldn't mind having a running buddy."
"Would believe me if I said I ate something so big it will take 9 months till it comes out."
"Mmm maybe, what did you ate?"
"...a jawbreaker."
"oh...well you gonna look like a seahorse. Do you know that seahorses are the only animals to get pregnant as a male."
"Uh no, please tell me more about something that's useless."
"I'm sorry Rigby, I was excited that we could talk more but I can see I'm just annoying you."
"Wait...ugh I'm sorry it's just I'm not been feeling too good. Mordecai only brought me with him, because he didn't want you to be the third wheel."
"To tell you the truth, I was the one who out planned this and the other plans too. Margaret never seem to care making them, shes too busy with school. I'm sorry you have to come."
"Wow, I guess Mordecai's really want to be with Margaret, I'm okay being here. Your an awesome person Eileen. Just having a bad day is all, but I think I'm feeling better now; let's go eat alright."
Rigby grabbed her hand with a small grasp. He was feeling those pains again but he held it back, the two walked to the food.
After everyone was done eating and the small excuse from Rigby, not wanting to eat sushi. Mordecai still had some money left for the fair. Rigby even offer to pay for the girls tickets. This year was going to be for Mordecai to make the friend zone to boyfriend zone. The state fair was hell of a crowd, lots of deep fried food, music being played with people dancing, and of course the rides for the kiddies to the young adults. Rigby was still hungry so he bought corn dogs and large lemonade. The girls wanted to see a 10 legged spider women, sadly to find a women in a box with her head popping out only.
They continue looking at odd stuff and playing mini games. Mordecai won Margaret a small bear with a smiley face on it's stomach. Rigby looked at Eileen who wanted something too, so he played a few games and surprising won a huge stuffed cat with big eyes, and wearing a large red bow on the right side. It was all fun till Mordecai brought up about the rides, the girls were super excited to get on them finally.
The night was getting colder, so they hoped the screaming and cheering would warm their bodies up. Expect for Rigby who couldn't tell them about his secret, so he said he keep an eye on the stuff. Eileen was begging him to get at least one ride, even on one that doesn't go to fast. Rigby really wanted to get on badly, but he didn't want to risked to harm his baby, he patted on Eileen's shoulder and said maybe next year. She was somewhat disappointed, that he wouldn't even try to get at least one not even a kiddie ride.

Mordecai was hype up to get on his favorite ride, the Fire Ball. It wasn't so scary, but you can feel the gravity pushing against your body. It feels a little funny and at the same time that rush. Margaret and Eileen were excited as well there six foot tall friend, the blushing cute mole turn around to see her number one crush, if he was looking at her; but he was holding everyone's stuff. Eileen waved softly at Rigby and awaited for his hand wave. He just smile in return of her wave causing her to blush more.
Rigby watched his friends entering the ride, he looked around to see if anyone was around him. Just a couple that was making out on his left and a pregnant teen on his right. He couldn't helped but to stare at her large and round stomach. The clothes she was wearing wasn't enough to cover her belly, she than notice Rigby staring.
"Big belly huh, it's sucks that I can't go any of the fun rides."
Rigby gave her eye contact, but went back staring at her belly. Than flinched when he saw the belly moved on it's own.
"Oh that hurts sweetie, please don't kick. I see this is the first you seen a pregnant belly?"
"Uh yeah, I have a friend who always looks pregnant. Does it feel funny to have something...inside you?"
"That sounds like a tuffy question, a yes and no. Yes, because you got to be more healthy and clean, because you have to take care of two people yourself and the baby. No, it's your child basically it's half of you. Like a little mini clone you can say."
"Is it okay if I ask a few questions um I have a girlfriend who's um you know."
"oh you mean that girl who waved you, she seems really pretty. Alright shoot."
"Um what...yeah she...a keeper, well how did your first months go like."
"oh boy do I remember those days, I can say lots lots of vomiting and mood swings. But then again every woman is different. But the pregnancy symptoms are very active in those few weeks. Afterward your just stuck with a big belly."
"...a-and one more question, is it easier to have both parents or being a single parent."
"Oh jeez that's anymore tuffy question for me. You seen I became pregnant at a party and the guy who's the baby daddy died about year ago from a drug overdose. He didn't even knew I was carrying his child, it's just sad you know. But my friends advise me to find a new guy who would be supported. You not thinking of leaving your girlfriend, it be a pretty dick move I got to say."
"...no I wouldn't want to leave her, but thank you for answering some questions. I think the ride is over now."
The pregnant teen skipped her way over the gate to hug her boyfriend. He looked at Rigby with a death glare but his girlfriend said he was cheat-chatting about pregnancy. He just gave a confused face, it's pretty odd to hear a guy wanting to talk about that kind of stuff.
Mordecai was laughing how he was saying Margaret was holding onto his arm. She was denying how scared she was but admitted she did enjoyed the ride. Eileen walked over to Rigby, her hair was in a big mess but she said she wish Rigby could have gone in the ride. He only shrug his shoulders and handed over the stuff cat.
Mordecai was finally tired walking as well Rigby who was running out of money. They headed back to the car but stop when the fire works came out of no where. Tons of colors and sounds the fireworks made, it was more romantic how they were on a hill. Mordecai shifted his face towards Margaret, both there faces were looking one in another of the eyes.
"I'm glad this was a fun, I hope we can we do it again."
"Ye-yeah I'm glad I came..."
Margaret was blushing, she shifted her face the other direction to cool off her face. Then facing Mordecai again with a smile.
Mordecai was stuck to whatever he was going to say next. He felt his tongue was in twists and confused how's he feeling. He looked down to see her hand was free. Sadly she her hands were full. One hand holding a pretzel and the other with the stuff animal. She turn to see his face, a warm smile appear on her face. Eileen heart was racing like a horse track, she really wanted to at least kiss or a hug with Rigby. Her checks were blushing furious, she awkwardly turn to see his face.
She wasn't hoping to see him stuffing his face with deep fried donuts and bananas. After the fireworks finished the gang head back to car, Mordecai asked it be cool if he go to the back. The raccoon was so exhausted for the day, he just went in the back. Without any complaint. The car drive was a little noisy, Mordecai had his radio on blast with Margaret singing songs she knew.
Eileen was excited to sit next to Rigby, once again he wasn't really up to stay up. He was leaning on the right side of the side. He was asleep, not really caring the loud noise.

Mordecai drop off the girls at Margaret's apartment, he said good night to both of them. And Eileen said goodbye to Rigby but he was still asleep. On there way back to the park Mordecai stop for gas, when he got out of the car he could see Rigby's belly having a small bugle. He went inside to buy some snacks for him, so when he wakes up he be pretty happy. The radio was on playing one of those mainstreams songs he be hearing, but it sounded like the song was singing to him. He listen to song to hear the name of it, and it was called Breakeven.
It's funny how he a song was singing about his life, and how he felt about the girl he's been crushing for so long. The thoughts of him being with her is something he wish more then anything. But another thought came up, what would happen to Rigby. He be alone taking care of his kid with no one.
"Alright Rigby we're back at the park, time to wake up."
He was shaking the raccoon a little tug, it didn't work. Mordecai let out a annoyed groan, he pick the raccoon like if he was holding a cat. And the bag of snacks with his somewhat free hand. When he enter in the house there was someone inside, Benson and Skips were watching television.
"So how did your guys dates go? He did listen what I said right."
"It was okay, we had a fun time for sure. I made sure he ate what was okay for him and he didn't get anything fast rides."
"Looks like the little buddy had a day, I see you carrying him in your arms there."
When Mordecai enter the door he had his back facing the guys, but turn around to show Rigby in his arms; with a plastic bag full of snacks.
"He felled right to sleep when we were driving back. He's a heavy sleeper I can say and he's starting to gain some weight a little too."
"You better head upstairs to tuck him in, tomorrow you got a lot of work to do."
Mordecai wasn't really happy hearing he had more work then usual. But he asked Skips to come with him in the morning to the rent-a-car center. To at least he has a ride to go back to the park.
