A/N: I'm really hoping this thing I'm doing is gonna go somewhere and you guys will enjoy it.

And I'm feeling good today so heres another chapter for the night!

A Fresh Start (3 month, 10weeks)

"Bro I'm telling you, Rigby is a gold digger with that guy."

Muscle man and High five ghost were working outside along with Mordecai. Having another conversation about Rigby, once again. Just the other day they saw Rigby with a smart phone; those new touch screen phones. Also some new shoes and t-shirts, Rigby is really living the good life with this guy.

Today, Rigby was at the house since Jeremy was busy with school. He didn't mind but he was enjoy taking pictures of himself. He sent some funny ones and waited for the replied message from Jeremy. And if Jeremy took a while to replied back, he play some games on his phone.

On other news Rigby is about 10 weeks pregnant. His belly was looking a bit swollen. His shirts fit him a bit tight, but he got other shirts that are more loosen. The only problem is his pants, he usually don't wear pants but feels the need to.

The relationship the two chosen to have been open relationship, as long one knows what they're doing with someone else. Rigby wasn't sure to be with a guy yet, and Jeremy was cool with it since he's pansexual.

Rigby was getting bored with his phone and saw the guys chatting. He pick himself and walked over to join them.

"Mordecai, I know your thinking of it too."

"You don't understand muscle man, he's looking for a father figure for his kid."

"Hmmm sure dude, here comes fatty to be."

Rigby pretended he didn't hear it from a someone who should really look at them self in the mirror. He greeted HFG and Mordecai.

"How your feeling today,Rigby."

"I still feel like an upside cake, but my headaches are going away. So doing better from last month, thanks for asking HFG."

Muscle man shock his head with his arms crossed and walked away. Mordecai was annoyed how he was bashing Rigby new guy. As for the raccoon who was utterly confused and annoyed the look Muscle Man gave him.

"What the heck is his problem?"

"He thinks you're using Jeremy for your own goods, and I think he's just jealous you're getting all these new things."

"That's a dumb reason to get all mad at me, I mean I don't mind the new and free things. But at the same I think it's good getting all these neat stuff."

"Are you sure that Jeremy isn't just spoiling you a bit too much?"

Rigby was surprise he was hearing this from his best friend. At the same time he wasn't sure to tell Mordecai why he bought him the extra clothes. He walk away with a low grunt. Mordecai heave a heavy sigh, he knew his friend didn't like this guy very much.

On the other hand, a small indecent did occur at the mall. But it was something that Rigby defiantly didn't want him to know. He probably call him names, he just twirl his finger close to the side his temple, and called a muscle man a hazard.

As this beautiful day coming close to the late afternoon, Rigby got a phone call. His doctor was asking for him to come over for a check up, seeing how well he's doing and other things. He felt a huge lump in his throat, Rigby didn't felt comfortable talking about his 'stomach' or hearing the word pregnancy. Just about an hour ago Benson was asking about his pregnancy, he couldn't give an answer because he just didn't have one. He up shrugging his shoulders saying it's no big deal.

The doctor was asking Rigby what day and time would be good for him. He let out a long pause then saying anytime is good. She giggle a bit and appointed him tomorrow at 11:30am and to drink about 32oz of water.

'How many appointments do I have to go? I wonder if they take my health insurance? And why do I have to drink so much water?'

Questions that Rigby would never thought he had to think about. It was a little strange, but a life lesson to himself.

Mordecai found him giving him a green popsicle; he asked if it's cool they have a chat. They walk over to the pond, watching the sun slowly setting. Rigby was eating his ice cream slowly, it look like he wasn't hungry.

"Dude what's up now? Did Jeremy left you?"

"Huh? No he didn't and well I just got a call from the clinic. They wanted me to come over tomorrow for some ultra sound thing, and they wanted me to drink about 32oz of water!"

"Rigby it's just for the baby's health to see how it's doing and what's developing."

"Wha? I didn't think anyone would care about me. . ."

"Ha-ha wow your something dude, of course we care about you, it's just hard since your such a hard head dork."

Rigby finish his melting ice cream and draw his popsicle stick upwards. Mordecai did the same thing and the tips of the sticks touch.

"I'm always going to be here when you need someone to talk to, and if I'm acting like a jerk then remind me I said this to you."

As the sun was setting down, Rigby wanted to tell Mordecai the reason. The reason why he got so many clothes and things. He looked over to Mordecai and said he was going to tell him, the reason why he got all this new stuff.

"Rigby, do you have a phone?"

"Um I do but it's just a flip phone, not the greatest but it can make awesome wallpapers."

"How would you feel if I got you a newer one? Like a touch screen phone."

"That would be nice, but I have no idea how to use those phones."

Jeremy smiled at him, you could tell he wanted to laugh. But he got to know Rigby somewhat well, if he laugh it be the end of the world for Rigby. His emotions were like thin ice, easy to break and hard to bring back together. Today it was a small struggle for Rigby to come to the mall. His belly was popping out already and his face was glowing gold. Rigby was worry he be stared at or worse name calls, but Jeremy told him he's here for him to protect him from assholes.

Jeremy also wanted Rigby to have some at least comfortable clothing. Because he see the shirt he was wearing was tight on his stomach. At first they went to some stores that sell stretchy pants, but Rigby began tearing up. His emotions were a roller coaster for the white ostrich.

"Babe what's wrong?"

"I-I feel fat in these pants. . . please don't call me babe. . ."

"Your not fat Rigby, you need to wear clothes for your own comfort unless you want to wear tight clothing."

Rigby wipe his small tears and nodded to him. Jeremy told him he was going to buy him clothes if he wanted. It didn't make Rigby feel any better, but he was right about the clothes thing. All his other clothes were tight and he needed some new clothing, but he just didn't like seeing large or extra-large tags.

As they enter other store, Jeremy spotted something. He grab Rigby by the hand and drag him in there. They just finish eating so Rigby felt lazy to walk anymore.

Jeremy saw a jacket that was perfect for Rigby. The jacket was light weight and thin. The colors on them weren't too bad but felt well on Rigby. He brought Rigby to a fitting room, he got to see he was wearing a small white t-shirt and clear view of his belly button popping out; the jacket slid on him perfectly.

"I love this jacket, it fits so well and you can't see myself my fat stomach."

"Had a feeling you like it, I'm just going to buy another size a bit bigger."

"Jeremy I don't know what to say. . .your buying me these nice things, and I want to know why?"

"No one ever asked me why, but if you want to know I just the kind of person who's not good showing emotions. . . "

"That's okay Jeremy, I wouldn't mind you trying, but do whatever you feel comfortable for you, okay."

He took a deep breath and exhale; he brought himself to hug Jeremy. It was a long one but Rigby could feel Jeremy's hands rubbing his back. He was blushing like crazy and for sure wasn't going to let Jeremy see. Rigby pushed his face on his chest. His breathing was getting heavy too.

Once they had bought the jackets, Jeremy said he needed to paid his phone bill. He somewhat forgot when he bought Rigbys phone. As they were walking downstairs, Rigby felt a twitch. He had to pee. But he was worry that Jeremy would be upset if he had to pee again, his bladder had become small. He had pee about three times since they got to the mall. As they were walking to the stairs, Rigby began pushing his legs closer. It was harder for him to keep up with Jeremy, his walking was getting slower and slower till he stop walking. He couldn't hold it any longer.

"Rigby, are you okay?"

Rigby looked up to see a concern face from the white ostrich. The raccoon shake his head and waving his hands shakily. Jeremy ask him if he wanted to hold hands. Another thing about Jeremy was that he doesn't give much fucks about anybody. If people saw walking with a purple dinosaur, he didn't care. Rigby slowly reach out to grab his hand.

But quickly let go because he felt he was going to explode if he didn't have both hands. Jeremy pulled back and place both his hands on the bags. Rigby was finding this whole ordeal to feel overwhelm. Like everyone was watching. He let out a small whine and he saw he could no longer walk. He watch Jeremy continue walking away, thinking Rigby was behind him.

As Rigby stood there with his hands gripping his knees. He felt something warm dripping on his leg. He slowly look down and it was there. A puddle appearing under his feet. He slap his hands on his face, his breathing was getting harder to take in air. He couldn't believe this was happening. He could feel the stares and people laughing and pointing him.

Nobody was laughing nor pointing, but they were some stares at him.

Tears began appearing on the side of his eyes, he never felt so humiliated in his life. How could this happen to him, and where was Jeremy. When he open his eyes they were so watery and blind his vision. He couldn't see a thing, so he continue standing in his water wasted. As soon he felt someone began laughing at him, he hear a sound of phone taking a picture. He flinch. Why can't he move, more people are going to laugh at him soon.

"Hey man give me back that phone!"

"Just hold up man, just deleting this picture."

Rigby turn to see what the argument was about. It was Jeremy who had grab someone else's phone. He then threw the phone to the side. Jeremy turn his attention at him and was making his way to Rigby. He pull his red jacket off and pulling around Rigbys stomach.

He then grab Rigby's hand and made their way to a store. He called out a name and they made their way in the back. The pace was slower and eventuality stop.

Rigby could no longer hold his emotions any longer, he began to cry. The tears began falling down and the sobs sliding down on his checks. He felt his chest was being step on and his breathing was harder to take in air. He felt his hands shaking more than they should.

"I-I'm so sorry what happen . . . I just take the bus back home . . . I understand you if you don't ever want to talk to me . . ."

"I-I just I'm going-"

"I was worry something had happen to you."

"Huh. . .?"

Jeremy turn around to get on eye level with Rigby. There height difference was something big between the two, Jeremy was 6ft while Rigby was 4'9. He brush his white feathers onto Rigby's checks to wipe his tears off .

"Rigby, I was worry that something had happen to you. I felt somewhat scared because god shakes in your condition, anything bad can happen. Please tell me if you need anything Rigby, I mean you can be a bit stubborn. No, you are a hell a lot of stubborn but I'm the one who has to deal with that. If you need to pee or anything, just please tell me because we get nowhere when you don't ask or say anything."

Rigby tears once again appear again and he was shaking his head. Jeremy pulled him into a warm and embrace hug, he felt Rigby's tiny hands gripping his chest. After a few minutes and Jeremy gave Rigby a peck on the check.

Another thing about there kissing, ever since they had their first kiss, Rigby tends to enjoy it more than he should. If it was like he couldn't control himself when it happens. It's cute for Jeremy how Rigby enjoys kissing but has no clue how to kiss someone.

He grab his tiny hand and walked over to a large metal door. He knock a couple of times with a pause. The door open when with someone dress all black, the clothing had some style, but some want Jeremy style to wear. They walked inside, his friend walked them to a back room and there bags were in there. Apparently Jeremys' friend had gotten them from the phone store.

Rigby turn to exam the person, it look like he was in his 20s too, he had large visible gauges, and piercings under his lip. Rigby turn his attention to the four bags with clothing. The sound of the door closing made Rigby flinch a bit, but he saw Jeremy hold a plastic bag.

"You can put your pants in here and I wash it when we get back home."

Rigby was just standing there holding his shirt down. He wasn't comfortable taking off his clothes front of him. Yet. But he was waiting for Jeremy to get the clue; to get out. Rigby turn around and looked back, the white ostrich was looking at his phone. Well he wasn't getting the message, might as well tell the guy.

"Um do you think you could step out . . ."

Jeremy looked over at him and nodded. He walked out and closed the door his way out.

Rigby felt bad telling him to but he had the reason, it was because his boy was out. He took advantages when he wear pants, so it's only normal right. He pull the soak the pants and drop it in the bag. He wobble his way to the bags, pulling out anything that look good. He pull his tight shirt off and slip his favorite jacket on. But before he did that, he look at himself at the mirror.

He haven't seem himself for a while. His belly look so plump. His back still look the same, but he felt different. His own body was changing due what was happening to him. It wasn't a dream come true, but at least he found someone who can tolerated him.

As soon he was wearing his new clothes on. He wrapped the plastic bag and in one of the bags. He grabbed all the four bags and walk out. He turn around to find Jeremy, he was just on his phone.

"Um Jeremy. . ."

The young man turn his head up and smile. But it fallen when he saw Rigby holding the bags. He walked over to grab them and compliment his new look. Rigby blushed a bit and grab his hand. Jeremy's friend walked over to them.

"Damn Jeremy, you got yourself a cutie, what's your name sweetie."

"Can you stop, I already told you his name."

"I know man, I just wanted to hear his voice, like does it match the way he looks."

"Okay now your just being a creep, but thanks again for the back room."

"It's cool, your just lucky my manager was out doing something. She's kind of bitch when it comes to us talking to people we know."

"Why else I quit working for now and went back to school."

Rigby was happy that Jeremy had good friends like this one, but he was shy to talk to this guy also. They walk out the store, Jeremy walked over to grab something to drink. But he saw that Rigby was looking very exhausted. His eyes were very droopy and his stance was sawing.

"Do you want to go home?"

"Huh? Um well do you."

"Rigby I asked you, I'm all good but can't I worry about you too."

"I do feel a bit sleepy, I'm sorry if I am ruining your fun."

"I'm all good Rigby, I don't mind going home. As long your okay Rigby."

They walked out the mall, holding one another hand. As soon they got to the car Jeremy toss the bags in the back, and help Rigby in the car. Driving back home, Jeremy felt a tug on his arm. Rigby was trying to keep his eyes open. He was mewing at him, Jeremy knew what he wanted. Rigby grab his hand and felt the comfort. Jeremy didn't knew what he was getting himself into but like it. Some change in his life is okay.

"Dude sounds like he really cares about you. Like he has that look of someone who couldn't give a damn about anyone but himself."

"At first I thought he was using me to make fun of me. But he really does have a heart, he cares how I feel. I mean we fought a couple of times because he wasn't use to have a person like me. But now he just know how to deal with me."

Mordecai have him a small nug on the shoulder. His buddy was on his first steps of a relationship. He could tell he was afraid and walking in the dark. But he was at least glad someone doesn't mind his actions. He can be the type of person who makes lots of mistake and tend to ignore the problem. A stubborn raccoon Rigby can be.

"So are you ready for tomorrow?"

"I'm a bit afraid, I took my medicine and been eating okay? I feel this was a mistake for me in this situation."

Mordecai ruffed his hair telling him to not worry a thing.

Short chapter because my brain asked for it.

But please tell me if Jeremy and Rigby relationship is going too fast? I can always slow it down.

Enjoy this chapter and the next one is like really short but a good one x3
