Enjoy this chapter dude!
As the next day had passed, most likely could hear someone sneezing and coughing in the house.
Poor Rigby was sick, shaking and cleaning his nose with the dirty clothes. Their alarm clock was
ringing at 7 o clock. Rigby cover his small ears and force his body off his trampoline to turn off the noisy thing. He cough twice before shaking Mordecai, but it didn't seem to work. He yank the aqua color blanket, he got an idea how to wake him up. Mordecai back was facing the other direction, so he whip the blanket on his butt. His friend yelled in surprise something just snap on his butt. He turn to see Rigby having one hand covering his mouth from laughter.
"Dude what was that for, shit really hurt" rubbing his tail feathers.
"I was just waking" cough "you up, cause you gonna" cough "be late for work."
It wasn't hard to tell his buddy was sick, he could see his checks were bright cherry red, and a running nose. Plus the harsh cough was really sounded he was pushing mucus out his throat. Rigby turn around to his bed and crawl in to only have his tail popping out.
"You sound horrible dude, I get you a trash can and some clean tissues."
Mordecai walk to their closet to grab a box of tissues and placing a plastic bag inside the trash can.
He then walked over to Rigby's bed and he tap once on the sick coon shoulder.
"So I left the tissues and trash can next to you. I hope you feel better."
Rigby didn't respond but a sneeze and a hard cough. It was beautiful day to take a walk. Just today wasn't his day. As Mordecai went to make some coffee, Skips and Benson were there already. The two greeted and said their good mornings.
"Hey is there medical for Rigby to take, he's kind of sick" looking thru the cabinets.
"Mordecai you can't give medicine to someone who's pregnant. You could hurt the child" said Benson turning his seat to face Mordecai.
"Then what can I do, he can't stay all day in bed."
"He got no other choice, its was his own actions to get pregnant and well now he has to deal with his sickness" turning back to face Skips and slipping his coffee.
"It's not his fault...whatever I just get ready for work" annoyed how his boss didn't understand what Rigby was going thru he left from the back down with a loud slam.
Benson sneer at Mordecais attitude so he went upstairs to see himself. He first knock before entering, and Mordecai was right. Rigby had wrap him self with his blanket while holding the trash bucket. He was having his morning sickness, you could see some vile on the side of his lip.
"Heard you have a cold." entering from the crack open door.
Rigby bowed his head and place the bucket on the wooded floor. Benson and Skips walked up to him, the white yeti examined the sicken raccoon. He check his eyes, nose and placed the back of his hand on to Rigbys forehead.
"Hey!" Rigby slapping Skips hand away from his face. He's wasn't type of person who allowed people to touch him. Unless he allows or welcome a small hug. But that's pretty rare for him allowing anyone to hug him, or leased him giving someone a hug.
"That's not good your sick, have you been taking your meds?" Benson asked, he was crossing his arms and waiting for his answer. "We'll I'm waiting Rigby."
"Uhhhhh...no." He cover the blanket over his head. "They taste really gross and I don't like them." He sniffed his nose by grabbing a clean tissue.
"Rigby you have to take them, it's really important." Benson yank the blanket off him. "Don't you care about your child?"
"I swear to ugh that everyone keeps thinking about this 'baby' more then me. Huh, what about me, I'm important too."
"Rigby you never take care of yourself, you just need to grow up and start taking caring yourself now. By starting to take your meds."
"You know your beginning to sound like my mom."
"Well you never seem to listen to her but you for some reason listen to me."
"Ugh I really don't want to talk with anyone now. My head is throbbing and my nose is burning." With that Rigby yank back the blanket from Benson hand and placing it over his head.
Benson and Skips walked out the room, it was surprising to Benson on how Rigby could be so selfish.
Past around noon, Rigby came down stairs with a hungry belly. His morning sickness had ended about an hour ago and the fever had also subsided. His nose wasn't so stuffed up in the morning at least he's hoping this whole experience doesn't get worse. He haven't spoken to Benson since the morning. He somewhat regret what he said, but he really felt he was cast out. All because of his pregnancy everyone has put more attention to him well more like what's in his belly.
"I could always just eat some cereal." He jump up and open the cabinets and fridge to grab the important ingredients for cereal. "Oh shoot forgot the spoon." He walked back to the cabinets to grab want he needed, but by accident cut himself with a knife.
Rigby yank his hand and saw the cut was a small one on his middle of his middle and index. Talk about a weird angle for a cut. He ignore the pain the best he could,
Grabbing the bowl and cereal back to the table, and now was the challenge to get the milk. He was a bit of afraid it would fall the moment he grab it, but what are the chances that could happen right.
As his thoughts predicted the milk instantly fell to the floor. Milking spilling everywhere, what to do now.
"I could always lick up all the milk, but then again the floor could be dirty ugh."
He just grab his bowl and pour the left over milk in the gallon. And walk back to his room, as nothing happen. Just his luck as he was walking upstairs he hear the back door open.
"What the hell happen now?" "Rigby!"
Benson enter the house and saw the mess on the floor. Calling out the only person who could have done this and was the only one in the house. Rigby quickly rush upstairs trying his best not to make a sound.
"Your really going to out run me, do you made that mess?" Benson was half way up on the stairs, his hands were into fists. He caught Rigby before he could enter his room.
"...it could have been Pops, he's clumsy you know." shrugging his shoulders.
"Rigby don't put the blame on someone else." Walking to the top of the stairs and staring down at Rigby.
"I'm just saying, why assume me since there more people in the park."
"Who eats a breakfast meal at two in the afternoon."
"Really Benson you're going to ask me that about that." giving him a sarcasm face.
"Ugh forget it, just go clean it up" He threw his hands in the air and heading back downstairs.
"I though you said I can't do any labor work while I'm like this."
Benson didn't feel like arguing with him anymore, he decided to clean the mess himself. This time of course, probably next time he make Mordecai.
Later that evening it seem the fever had recoil back in his body, and Rigby was hacking and coughing was getting worse. Thinking drinking something that was cold was pretty bad for his sickness. He couldn't feel the warmth of his hands nor his feet.
A knock was heard on the door, he pop his head out of his pile of dirty clothes. Mordecai came in with two bags with grease stains on the corners. He quickly got out and walk up to Mordecai who handed him the bag.
"Thought maybe you wanted to eat something."
"You went to cheezers to get some cheese burgers."
"I totally did man, and some reason Benson wanted me to keep an eye on you." He took a bite of his sandwich. "Do you piss him off again?"
"Something like that, but I got this." He points to his belly. "For a good excuse."
They continue eating their early dinner, so after some talking they went to the living for some video games. Rigby thought to wear his shirt, but since it seem like a normal day it didn't seem no body will come to the house other than the gang. He decided to not wear it for today.
"Do you still talk to Eileen?" Mordecai turning his face towards his friend.
"We just text at times." He pause to hold his belly. "Ow my stomach is starting to hurt."
"Do you like Eileen at all?" Nugging him for an answer.
"Hmmm I'm not gonna say I really do, but she's chill to hang" swatting his buddy hand away.
Mordecai decided to end the questions since Rigby wasn't interest talking.
The day was getting darker, Mordecai was texting to Margaret. They were talking about how much fun they had at the fair, and hoping to some more day out plans.
Suddenly a car pull in front of the house, at first the two thought it could be Benson. Instead someone knock the door. Rigby looked over at Mordecai, he was busy texting to the girl he likes. He went over to the door to open it, Margaret greet him.
Rigby was surprise it was her and slam the door.
"Dude what the heck, why would you slam the door like that?"
"That was Margaret, oh my gosh she saw my stomach."
Rigby was beginning to panic that she run off and tell Eileen. There was another knock and Margaret's voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
"It's already too late dude, she knows now. Might as well tell her."
"I don't think I'm ready for this man, I'm so scared..."
"Don't worry, you know Margaret is a sweet person. She could always accept the crap you do."
She could accept him, that wasn't the best words to put together. He walked over to the couch, still having nose popping out. Mordecai opens the door and welcome her inside and she asked why Rigby slam the door in her face.
He walked away from the couch and revealed himself.
She quickly grab his shoulders, and look at him in his eyes.
"Your gaining so much weight, dude you need to lay off the pizzas" She giggle how plump Rigby have gotten.
"What?!" Mordecai and Rigby said in union.
She couldn't tell the smaller raccoon was pregnant, but then again when was the last time you hear a pregnant man these days.
She asked if he would like to her run with her, so they can run every morning. Rigby looked at Mordecai and he nodded back. He asked her to sit down and just hold any questions.
"Margaret, I'm not really over weight or fat...I'm..." Rigby bit his lip and looked at Mordecai for help.
"Rigby is pregnant, yeah ha ha" Mordecai threw his hands in the air with a nervous laughter.
Margaret stood up.
"I don't understand, I mean how can...-but he was born as a guy?" She was deceived on the news.
"Please just let me explain I know this is has to be the strangest thing you have ever heard, but just-"
Unexpectedly Rigby was embrace by a warm hug, Margaret try to pick him up, but was pull down by his weight.
"Congrats Rigby, I'm so happy for you!" resting her hands on his shoulder with a warm smile.
"Wha?"He was doubtful how Margaret's reaction.
The two were totally confused, but they thought she would run off and never speak to them again. It was the opposite when she told them that it was weird to hear a male having a baby, but if you look at it at a different angle it's kind of cute. She would never thought Rigby would have a baby, or at least carrying it inside.
She asked more questions, like what does it feel like to be pregnant or pregnancy questions. All these questions was making Rigby a bit light head what he didn't knew it was his fever coming back. The next thing he knew he flop backwards on his back, he was out. Margaret jump and she quickly grab him by the side, but his body hit first on the floor. Mordecai gave a helping hand to place his back on the couch.
"You know they said pregnant women can get sick very easily because there body is having a dramatic change."
"That would explain his fever, but what are we gonna do now"
Mordecai asked what was her reason to coming over to the house.
"I just came over to hang out, it's been a while" She looked down at the sleeping raccoon.
"Well your busy with your school and work, I wouldn't want to bother you." crossing his arms and leading on the couch.
"Your never a bother dude, I like talking to you. Makes me feel like I'm at least sociable and not a workaholic ha ha."
"You are a workaholic, working for those extra hours." he gave her a smirk.
"Where else would I get extra cash, college isn't cheap you know." she gave Mordecai a light punch on the shoulder.
"Hmmm you got a point there, I still gotta pay back my loans. Kind of feel like an idiot dropping out of college."
As the two was standing quietly they heard Rigby to purr and the two started to laugh, Mordecai never heard him purr. He always know he was a light sleeper, but my god he was in a deep sleep.
Margaret petted his head, and he purr more. She was quite amused to know a secret that the guys were hiding, but she did had a consider.
"I was wondering about this for a while, but who's the father"
"You see, there's this guy name Doug and he try to steal Rigbys identity before ...and something happen between the two to cause this." He points to Rigbys large belly "It's really a long story but at least he's okay."
"I wonder how Eileen would react when she finds out he's pregnant."
"Oh about that...can we not tell her."
"What!? Why not, she's my best friend and she cares deeply for Rigby."
"It's not me, it's Rigby who just scared he well I don't know, but I'm guessing he wants to tell her himself."
Margaret wasn't that kind of person to hold secrets. She also didn't want Eileen hear from someone else, even she's her best friend. Mordecai offered if she wanted some coffee, she accpeted his gesture both went to the kitchen.
"How many months is Rigby now?" slipping her coffee.
"He's around 2 months actually, but he's gotta so over weight."
She looked around the room and looked back at Mordecai in the eyes "Wow that was pretty quick...um Mordecai is Rigby I don't know...gay?" slipping her coffee again.
"You know I really don't know, I asked him the same question but he just push it away."
"I mean the only why to get knock up was...you know."
"He was acting weird that day he was um 'hurt' and I found that dirty otter humping him."
"Oh my gosh, you should totally find this guy and tell him he's going to have kid."
"That's another problem, he has this ability to transform into anyone and copy there voice." He slip his coffee before speaking again. "He could be anywhere now, but who knows if he even cares having child."
"I feel so sorry for Rigby, he has no emotional support on this, do you comfort Rigby."
"Sometimes when he's having a bad tummy ache or just the bridge to breaking down."
Margaret place her hand on top of Mordecais of his hand. She was happy that at least his best friend is getting some support from a great friend.
"Well it's getting late, I should be getting home, got lots of homework."
"Oh okay, let me walk you to your car then."
He followed her as he said and ask her another favor.
"Ow I think I hit my head, huh Mordecai ?"
Rigby woke up by himself, he still felt dizzy. His face felt all hot and red. He couldn't feel his hands or legs. They felt so cold, and he pull the blanket over his head.
