#17 of Highschool Days


ugh, I was going to keep you people waiting but I was to anxious to not write it lol. Anyways, skipping the boring Copyright stuff let's get on with another installment of my story that keeps getting longer.

**

Gideon stared in shock as Raymond finished explaining the contents of the letter. "T-this is w-wonderful." Gideon said, his whole body trembling in joy.

Raymond smiled and said, "For you maybe, I'm going to be a freak."

Gideon hugged Raymond gently and placed his paws on Raymond's stomach, palms down. "No one is going to hurt you, I'm not letting you out of my sight until our baby is born."

Raymond smiled and said, "I still can't believe that of a 1 of 1000 chance I am a man who was able to get pregnant."

Gideon grinned, "So, does it say how long you've been pregnant."

"Four weeks today." Raymond said.

"Uh oh. Morning sickness starts around week 4." Gideon said.

"Oh great, you have to remind me of one of the few downsides to being pregnant." Raymond said.

Carol chose that time to come in and said, "Who's pregnant."

Gideon and Raymond looked at each other and Raymond handed her the letter. She looked puzzled but she read the letter, her eyes widening in shock as she read on, her hand left the letter and gripped the counter.

She took a minute but she looked up and hugged both of them, "This is wonderful and slightly disturbing for me."

Gideon looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Because I was kinda hoping that my sons..."Carol started then caught her mistake, "Son wasn't getting... intimate... with his boyfriend." Carol finished.

Raymond smiled at the mistake and asked, "Do you really think of me as a son?"

Carol nodded and said, "You will be my son in the future, hopefully. Or at least, son in law."

Raymond hugged Carol before going back to Gideon and falling into him. Gideon caught him and put his arms around him, his paws on Raymond's stomach. "Raymond, I love you so much." He whispered.

"Gideon, I love you so much." Raymond said.

Raymond yawned and Gideon said, "Come on hun, your going to get some sleep."

Raymond followed Gideon grudgingly and said, "This is going to be a long eight months."

Gideon nodded and said, "At least you aren't going to be pregnant for school."

Raymond nodded and said, "Do you think your mom will watch our baby for us?"

Gideon sighed and said, "Of course, my mother loves both of us."

Raymond smiled and laid down on the bed. Gideon covered him in the blankets and made sure he was warm. "Aren't you going to sleep with me?" Raymond asked.

Gideon shook his head and said, "I'll lay with you until you're asleep but I'm going to go back upstairs."

Raymond said, "Fine."

Raymond put his head down and Gideon laid down next to him, waiting for him to go to sleep. Gideon saw Raymond's eyelids droop and then finally close and his breathing slowed and he started snoring. Gideon kissed Raymond's forehead then kissed his fingers and put them on Raymond's stomach. "I love you, both of you."

Gideon slowly walked back upstairs and sat down next to his mother on the couch. Troy, Wyatt, and Clarice came in and joined them. "How is Raymond doing?" Clarice asked.

Gideon smiled and said, "He's doing good, but I want you three," he moved his hand and pointed at all three of them, "to leave him alone. For a while. A long while."

"Why?" Clarice asked.

Gideon sighed and looked at Carol, "Should I tell them?"

Carol said, "It's up to you."

"Tell us what?" Clarice asked. "Tell me gosh darnet."

"Raymond is pregnant." Gideon said.

Clarice looked at Gideon and said, "You're kidding right?"

Gideon shook his head and said, "Raymond is pregnant."

Clarice just looked at him along with Wyatt and Troy. All three were shocked. Wyatt walked over to Gideon and hugged him before saying, "Congratulations."

Gideon hugged him back before saying, "Thanks kit."

Wyatt blushed at the nickname but didn't react to it.

Gideon sighed and slumped into the couch, "Are you alright?" Carol asked.

Gideon nodded and said, "Theres just been so much going on lately."

Carol nodded to that and said, "There has been, and this is the biggest thing in a while."

"Mom, its going to be the biggest thing that happens in our relationship." Gideon said, thinking for a moment. "Besides getting married of course."

"That's planning ahead." Clarice muttered.

Gideon glared at her, "Do you really think I'm going to break up with Raymond after this?"

Clarice shook her head, "Of course not, I'm just saying your thinking way ahead. You've got four years until you're allowed to get married."

Gideon grimaced and said, "I know that, but this whole thing has started to make time go by really fast. Four years seems like an incredibly short time."

Clarice nodded and said, "I still can't believe that Raymond is pregnant."

Gideon laughed softly, "Neither can I. And of course Raymond isn't going to be anywhere outside this house without me."

Clarice said, "How is he going to finish school?"

Gideon looked at Carol and said, "I was hoping that mom would be able to take care of him, or her, while Raymond and I are at school."

Carol nodded and said, "Of course I will. I get more grand kids then Madison."

Gideon smiled softly and said, "Where are they anyways?"

Carol sighed and said, "They moved back in with Craig."

Gideon let out a short growl before taking his turn at sighing and said, "Oh well, guess that's better for Madison."

Carol nodded and said, "You know what, we have to get you a new tuxedo."

Gideon looked puzzle and asked, "Why?"

"Did you forget Alec's wedding?" Carol said.

Gideon's face turned into understanding, "When is it?"

"Friday." Carol said.

"Two days? Jeez." Gideon said.

"That's why Wyatt and Troy are home instead of at school, they had to help me get everything that he's going to need." Carol said, "Of course, they're going to school tomorrow."

Wyatt groaned and Gideon laughed and said, "Raymond and I will walk you two if you want, no one at your school has seen me yet and they need to see who's going to rearrange their faces if they pick on you."

Wyatt grinned and said, "Thanks."

Gideon smiled back and said, "As long as Raymond doesn't have morning sickness. Come on kit, let's go up to you and Troy's room and I can beat you at a few video games."

Wyatt and Troy stood up and walked upstairs, closely followed by Gideon. Wyatt opened the door and Gideon stepped in, trying to block his nose. "Really guys, use air freshener after you have sex."

Wyatt blushed and rushed out to get a can of air freshener which he used a good amount of to make the room smell somewhat decent. "That's better." Gideon said. "Now, what do you two want to play."

"Don't know." Wyatt said.

Troy laughed and said, "How about Mario Party 8?"

Gideon nodded and said, "Choose the one game I'm not good at but ok."

Troy hopped up and put the game in, passing out the controllers. They started playing the game, Gideon getting angrier everytime he lost a mini game and Wyatt or Troy laughing triumphantly when they won, which was very often.

About halfway through the game Raymond came in and hugged Gideon from behind. "Hey hun." He whispered into Gideon's ears.

Gideon grinned and pull Raymond in front of him before sitting down and pulling Raymond with him. "Hiya, you wanna play?" Gideon asked.

"Sure." Raymond said grinning as he took the remote. Gideon leaned his head and put his chin on Raymond's shoulder, wrapping his paws around and placing them on Raymond's stomachs.

Raymond managed to turn Gideon's game around, winning almost every mini game, even the three vs. ones. Troy and Wyatt still didn't know that Raymond was playing or even in the room so when the game was over they turned around and said, "Oh, Raymond, how long have you been in here?"

Gideon and Raymond laughed, "Raymond started playing halfway through the game."

Wyatt blushed at not noticing and Troy just said, "Raymond is good at this."

Raymond grinned at him and said, "Gideon and I used to play a lot."

"Then how come Gideon sucks?" Troy asked.

Raymond started laughing as Gideon slipped out from under him and punched Troy, lightly, on the shoulder. He picked Raymond up and sat back down. Troy came over as if he was going to punch him back and Gideon said, "You do anything that might hurt our child and I will hang you from your ankles out the window."

Troy backed off then, knowing that he wouldn't be able to punch Gideon without risking hitting Raymond. Gideon grinned at Troy before kissing the top of Raymond's head. "The next eight months are going to be incredibly awkward." Gideon said.

Raymond nodded and said, "No girl can say I don't understand being pregnant either."

Gideon grinned down at him and said, "That's true too. Did that letter say how often men actually have the ability to get pregnant?"

Raymond nodded and said, "Normally they find one in the entire world every five or six years."

Gideon whistled and said, "Well, I'm happy that I get that one to be mine."

"And I'm happy that I'm yours." Raymond replied.

"I just thought about something," Gideon said, "what species is the baby gonna be?"

"God I hope it isn't a hybrid." Raymond said, "I don't want it to go through school with being picked on."

Gideon grinned and said, "I don't know, I think having a miniature you with wings would be cool."

Raymond laughed and said, "That would be cute."

Troy cleared his throat and said, "You guys want to play again."

Gideon said, "Raymond can, I just enjoy sitting here with my wolf on my lap." Troy made a fake barfing sound and Gideon said, "Oh like you and Wyatt aren't just as bad. And besides, I've got twice as much reason as I used to to love him now."

Raymond smiled up at him and said, "You know, I always used to dream of having kids, but I never expected to be the mother."

Gideon grinned and said, "I never expected to have biological kids, but now I get to be an actual father. And at fifteen."

Wyatt broke in with a question, "What gender do you guys want it to be?"

Raymond smiled and said, "I'm hoping its a girl."

Gideon nodded in agreement, "That would be awesome."

Gideon was rubbing his hands up and down Raymond's stomach and said, "You're kinda rounded already."

Raymond laughed and said, "I'll get a lot bigger."

Gideon grinned at him and said, "This is kinda awkward."

"What's awkward?" Troy asked as soon as Raymond opened his mouth.

"Talking to my boyfriend about our biological child." Gideon said.

Raymond nodded in agreement and said, "That is awkward, it wasn't expected either."

"It's still a wonderful thing." Gideon said.

"Ok, can we just play a game now?" Troy asked.

Gideon laughed and said, "Start it up."

They played another game, Raymond pulverized Troy and Wyatt and the computer in almost every mini game and winning the game altogether. "That's what you get for going fifty rounds with somebody who knows how to get the number they want on the dice."

"I think you cheated." Troy said.

"There aren't any..." Raymond started but was cut off by a yawn, "cheats for this game."

Gideon yawned and said, "Come on hun, we're going to bed. Now!"

"Fine, but your staying with me this time." Raymond said.

Gideon grinned and picked Raymond up, "Of course I will."

Gideon walked downstairs, stepping very carefully, to the basement. He placed Raymond on the bed before getting on behind him and wrapping them both in his wings. "I love you more than ever." Raymond whispered.

"I love you more than ever." Gideon whispered back, "I'm never going to let anything hurt you or our baby."

Raymond snuggled into Gideon and said, "I love you, your my big, strong dragon and no one else can have you."

Gideon smiled at the top of Raymond's head and said, "You're my beautiful wolf and no one can have you, or hurt you."

Gideon watch as Raymond fell asleep, Gideon smiled at the sleeping form of his lover and the mother of his child. "A man as a mother, very interesting." Gideon said wearily as he himself fell asleep.

**

Raymond woke him up at seven o'clock in the morning and said, "Morning hun, you promised Troy and Wyatt we would walk them to school this morning."

Gideon nodded and stood up to get dressed, "How are you feeling this morning?"

Raymond grimaced and said, "Fine besides a touch of morning sickness."

Gideon grinned and said, "Well, in the end it will all be worth it."

Raymond nodded and said, "Hurry up and get dressed, it's almost time to leave."

Raymond put on his winter coat and started to go upstairs but Gideon called him back, "You're going to be more bundled up then that." Gideon said.

Raymond grimaced as Gideon zipped off his coat and started to give him his own jacket to wear underneath. "You're going to freeze." Raymond protested.

"I will not," Gideon said, "I only wear coats for show, you need them, I'm not going to let you get sick."

Raymond let him put on the extra four jackets before stopping him, "I'm warm enough now."

Gideon said, "Fine." and helped Raymond with his winter coat before putting on his black sports coat and black pants from the day before. "They're clean enough."

They walked upstairs and were met by Troy and Wyatt who had their stuff on their back. Wyatt started laughing at Raymond and said, "Wearing enough coats?"

Raymond grimaced and said, "Gideon made me."

Gideon grinned and said, "And I'm going to every time you go outside until it gets warmer."

Raymond grimaced again and said, "Oh well, in about two months I'm going to have to wear sweatpants."

Gideon grinned, "In two months it will be spring."

Raymond just shook his head and said, "Let's go, these kids are going to be late."

Gideon and Raymond started out, Gideon was walking with his arm around Raymond's waist and his palm resting firmly on his stomach. Gideon kissed him once as they walked and smiled at him. "Are you cold?" Gideon asked as the wind blew and Raymond shivered.

"I-I'm f-fine." Raymond said.

Gideon could tell he was lying so he used his wing to wrap around Raymond to keep him warm. Now he was walking awkwardly because he had one wing extended and another on his back. Gideon sighed, knowing he wouldn't be able to walk like that. He took off his sports coat, which was warm from Gideon's excessive body heat.

Raymond took the sports coat and put it around himself. Gideon was walking with both wings on his back again, this time without a shirt on. Raymond looked over and said, "You have to be a little bit cold."

Gideon laughed and said, "Nope."

Raymond was obviously jealous but didn't say anything as they continued walking. They got to the school after a short walk and Gideon told Raymond to wait at the gate and walked behind Troy and Wyatt up to the steps, grinning at the kids who stared at him as he walked behind them without shirt on in a temperature that was at least fifteen degrees.

When they got to the door Gideon made sure to say, out loud, "If anyone picks on you at all, make sure to tell me."

Wyatt grinned and said, "You know, Raymond already did this once."

Gideon laughed and said, "Ya, but now they're seeing a very large red dragon with wings and wearing no shirt on probably the coldest morning we're going to have here. I think I'm more intimidating."

Wyatt nodded and walked inside, followed by Troy. Gideon walked back down the steps, still getting stared at, mostly by girls. He got back to Raymond and put his arm around his waist again, "We could sit on a bench in the park." Gideon said.

Raymond looked at him and said, "It's freezing."

Gideon laughed and said, "I could wrap you in my wings, you would be warm then."

Raymond shook his head and said, "We could go to the mall."

Gideon said, "Again?"

Raymond nodded, "I want to fly again, that was fun."

Gideon sighed and said, "Ok."

Still in view of all the kids of the middle school he picked Raymond up and launched into the air, flying in the direction of the mall. He was flying much slower now and Raymond said, "Why so slow?"

Gideon grinned at him and said, "Because if I was flying fast you would feel the wind, and that would make you cold. You aren't getting sick."

Raymond smiled and said, "You are going to be the most annoying father ever."

"I'm going to care about my kids, and I'm going to show it." Gideon said firmly, "and I will love them no matter what."

Raymond smiled and said, "You're definitely going to be a good father."

Gideon smiled back and said, "You're definitely going to be a good mother."

Gideon landed and took his sports coat from Raymond and put it on as they walked inside. There were a few people there early, and two of them were Paulie and Dean. They went to sit next to them on the bench and Raymond started unzipping all of his coats, "Why are you so bundled up?" Paulie asked him, still unzipping her coats.

Gideon grinned at her and whispered into Raymond's ears, "Should we tell them?"

Raymond laughed and told Paulie, "I'm a freak of nature."

"How so?" Paulie asked.

Gideon started laughing and Paulie and Dean looked confused, "Let's say that you and Raymond can start a club."

Paulie still looked confused and Raymond gave in, "I'm fricken pregnant."

Paulie looked shocked and Dean said, "No way. You're a guy."

Raymond nodded and said, "I know, but I'm still pregnant. I told you I was a freak of nature."

Gideon grinned at the couple sitting next to them as he pulled Raymond onto his lap and put his hands on Raymond's stomach. "So, Paulie, how did your parents take the news?"

Paulie grimaced and said, "They tried to make me get an abortion."

"Ouch." Raymond said.

Dean broke in and said, "You know, I'm kinda curious, how is Raymond going to give birth?"

A few people that were eavesdropping looked at Raymond in shock and Raymond grinned at them as they walked away. "There going to have to cut my stomach open to do it." Raymond said, cringing at how he was going to feel for weeks after that.

Dean grimaced and said, "That is going to be painful."

"No duh." Paulie said, slapping him on the side of the head. "It's going to be more painful than me giving birth though."

Raymond laughed and said, "That's because your body was built so that was possible, but all the same, it's totally wonderful."

Gideon nodded in agreement and said, "Of course, I'm going to make sure he stays warm at all times. I don't want my pregnant wolf to get sick."

Paulie laughed and said, "If he's anywhere near as far along as I am he's sick enough as it is."

"I'm actually half a month behind you." Raymond grimaced, "I just had my first bout morning sickness."

"This is awkward." Dean said suddenly, "Listening to a girl and a guy, who are both pregnant, talking about being pregnant."

Gideon grinned at him and said, "Imagine being with the guy who is pregnant. Of course, it's not a bad thing, because I love my wolf."

Paulie grinned at the two and said, "So, Raymond, how does it feel to be a mother and a man."

"Confusing, awkward, and weird." Raymond said, "But you aren't interviewing me."

Paulie stuck out her tongue and asked, "Have you had any cravings? I've been craving chocolate for a while."

Raymond nodded and said, "Pickles, chocolate, french fries, pancakes. Pretty much, everything."

Dean laughed and said, "Sucks for you Gideon, I've had to buy Paulie food all morning."

Gideon grinned, "I don't care if I have to buy Raymond food though. I've got the money to spend."

Raymond grinned and said, "Good, I haven't eaten this morning and I'm kinda hungry."

Gideon laughed and said, "Ok, Paulie, Dean you guys want anything? I'll buy."

Dean and Paulie nodded and said, "Thanks."

They all walked to the food court and Gideon told Raymond to find a seat as he went to buy food. Paulie and Dean went with him as Raymond chose a table a group of jocks came around the corner and saw him sitting alone. They grinned, obviously not seeing Gideon.

They came over and one picked Raymond up under the shoulders, holding him still. "Hey you little fag, how's it going?"

Raymond was about to yell for help but Gideon had turned around just as the jock pulled back his fist. Gideon roared and threw himself at the jock, knocking him down to the floor. Gideon pushed the jock holding Raymond off of Raymond and asked, "Did he hit you?"

Raymond shook his head and said, "No, thank god." Raymond was rubbing his stomach gently and Gideon turned around and picked up the jock by the collar of his shirt.

"I have done this to many times to care, but I swear to the Lord Almighty that if you touch my boyfriend again, I will use my claws to rip your throat out." Gideon said, a look of seriousness in his face that said he was really going to do it.

The jock was staring at him with a look of complete fear in his eyes. "O-ok."

Gideon dropped the jock before turning back to Raymond and grabbing his arm, "Ok, that was stupid."

Raymond just stared at him and said, "You can be really scary at times."

Gideon smiled, "Only when someone is threatening you and my child. I'm not letting anything happen to our baby."

Raymond kissed him and said, "The next eight months are seriously going to be interesting, and miserable."

Gideon smiled and said, "I'll let you hit me where you want for doing this to you."

Raymond grinned and punched him in the shoulder, "Good, cause I'm going to want that free pass a lot."

"Hehe, you deserve it, going through with pregnancy." Gideon said as they stepped up to the restaurant. "Sorry about that," Gideon told the cashier as he paid for the food.

They took the food to the table, Paulie and Dean joining them. "I've never seen you so angry." Paulie said.

Gideon grinned, "They threatened my wolf, and in doing so, my child. He wasn't going to get away with it."

Dean stared at him in awe, "You realize that was a senior on the wrestling team right?"

Gideon laughed and said, "I've beat up bigger jocks than him."

Raymond said, "You can't really call it beating up if your protecting kids."

"True, but still." Gideon said.

Raymond started to eat and Gideon nibbled at his food, not really hungry. Dean and Gideon exchanged looks as Paulie and Raymond devoured their food, "Still hungry?" Gideon asked Raymond as he finished.

Raymond nodded and Gideon laughed as he pushed the rest of his food over to him. "You should eat too." Raymond said.

"You need it more." Gideon said. Raymond started to protest but Gideon said, "You are going to eat the food if I have to chew it up and then force it down your throat."

Raymond grimaced but started to eat the rest of Gideon's food. He finished Gideon's food and Gideon laughed, "If this is going to be your appetite for the next eight months I'm going to need a lot of money."

Raymond grinned, "Eventually you're going to have to buy me sweat pants."

Gideon laughed, "You won't be that big for at least a month and a half I hope."

"You're still going to have to buy them. I have no money." Raymond said.

Gideon shook his head, "My money is your money hun."

Raymond smiled and said, "I think your going to hold it though."

Gideon laughed and said, "Ok."

By now Paulie and Dean had finished eating, Paulie finishing off the rest of Dean's food as well. "What do you guys want to do now?" Dean asked them as they threw away the scraps that were left over.

"We could see a movie." Gideon said. "Paulie's pick of course, we don't want to force her to watch a movie that only guys would like."

Paulie smiled and said, "Good, cause I don't think Dean wants me to get irritated with him again."

Dean grimaced at the thought. They walked to the movie theater and, of course, Paulie chose a chick flick. Paulie grinned at the three boys she was with when they walked into the movie theater. "Have fun."

Gideon and Dean grimaced but Raymond just shrugged. "It might be interesting."

Gideon hugged Raymond with one arm and said, "My wolf is in touch with his feminine side."

Raymond laughed and said, "I better be. Now shush, the movie is starting."

Like most chick flicks, it started out with some huge issue and like all chick flicks, there was some sad part that made Paulie, and Raymond, cry. The movie ended and Gideon used the sleeve of his sports coat to dry Raymond's face, Dean doing the same for Paulie.

Gideon laughed as he finished, "You know, it's kinda cool that my boyfriend is so feminine."

Raymond looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Because, if we have a girl she's gonna need someone to talk to. And if it isn't Clarice then it will have to be one of her parents." Gideon said.

Raymond nodded, "Imagine what the birds and the bees talk is going to be like."

"Hehe, that is going to be awkward." Gideon said.

The four walked out of the theater, chatting with each other, Gideon occasionally kissing Raymond and Dean occasionally kissing Paulie. "You know, our group started with five people, then Raymond moved here and he and I started dating each other, then Kevin and Xatrin, now you guys are dating each other. We're a group of couples." Gideon said.

Paule smiled and said, "I noticed that too, I just didn't bother to say it."

Raymond sighed and said, "What time is it? Cause I'm hungry again." Raymond started laughing at the end and Gideon looked at his watch, "It's ten thirty. What are you hungry for? I can get you some sort of snack."

Raymond grinned and said, "Sounds good."

"Paulie? Dean? Either of you want anything?" Gideon asked.

Dean shook his head and Paulie said, "You've spent enough money on me today."

Gideon smiled and said, "Really, I don't want to buy Raymond something and torture the people that we're hanging out with."

Paulie said, "Thanks Gideon, and if you want to buy me anything, I would be happy with a Hershey's bar."

Gideon laughed and said, "Gladly."

"I have to agree with Paulie," Raymond said, "a Hershey's bar sounds good."

Gideon grinned at Raymond and said, "Jesus, you and Paulie are going to go through the same things and you guys are even acting the same."

"We are not." Raymond and Paulie said at the same time. They looked at each other, turning their heads at the exact same time and blushed, their cheeks turning red at the same time. "Ok, maybe we are." they said, again at the same time.

Gideon and Dean burst out laughing. "You guys are cute." Gideon and Dead said at the same time.

"Ok, seriously need to stop being like each other." Gideon said.

"Agreed." Dean said.

Raymond took Gideon's paw and dragged him into the nearest shop with candy, Paulie and Dean following. Gideon found the chocolate section and picked up at least twelve Hershey's bars. "Why so many?" Raymond asked.

"Future cravings." Gideon said, grinning at him. He payed for the chocolate and handed one to Paulie and Raymond, "Here ya go, you want one Dean?"

Raymond and Paulie said, "Thanks." They blushed again and Dean laughed before saying, "No. I think you will need them for his cravings."

Gideon nodded and said, "I'm not going to the store everytime you crave something Raymond."

Raymond grinned and said, "Every other time will have to do."

Gideon laughed, "You'll get what you need, don't worry."

Paulie snickered and said, "My dad said that my brother has to do all my running."

Gideon and Raymond both laughed. "That sucks, but I'll probably end up going to the store for Raymond more often than not."

"Clarice might run sometimes, when she decides to be nice." Raymond said.

Gideon nodded and said, "When she decides to be nice."

Raymond groaned and said, "Alright, I need to get to the bathroom."

Gideon just pushed him towards the nearest bathroom, which thankfully wasn't far away. Gideon stood outside a stall while Raymond started to throw up. Once he was finished he sighed wearily and came out, his face covered in sweat, "Chocolate is not a good idea at ten o'clock in the morning."

Gideon said, "Noted." Gideon damped down a paper towel and started wiping Raymond's face of sweat, and getting the little bits of puke off of his his mouth. "I have a feeling you're going to hate me for the next eight months."

Raymond grimaced and said, "I probably will." Raymond hugged him and said, "But I will always love you behind that."

Gideon grinned and said, "You still have free hits on anywhere you want. And if you don't want to, I'll do it for you if you ask."

Raymond grinned and said, "Cool. Punch yourself in the stomach."

Gideon grinned and did as Raymond asked, grunting as he punched himself. "Happy?"

Raymond hugged Gideon again and said, "Yes. Now I know that I'll get something out of this besides a child."

"Being a parent with me is that bad?" Gideon asked.

"No, just bearing the child is." Raymond replied as Gideon opened the door for him. Paulie came out of the girls bathroom with sweat on her face and Raymond smiled at her, "Apparently pregnancy works much the same for everyone."

"Would you like to hit me too for buying you chocolate?" Gideon asked.

Paulie grinned and said, "No, but I'm going to kick Dean in his gut for getting me pregnant in the first place."

Gideon laughed and said, "You do that."

They walked back to the bench where Dean was sitting, concern on his face until Paulie kicked him in the gut like she said she was going to. "That's for getting me pregnant." She said as she sat down and leaned onto him.

"You're the one who didn't want to use protection." Dean said, gasping for breath.

"Ok," Gideon said as he grabbed Raymond, "I think it's time we head home."

Raymond nodded and said, "I want to brush my teeth."

Gideon walked to the door and took off his now very warm sports coat and put it around Raymond again. Gideon grinned as he picked Raymond up and walked out the door, hunching himself to protect Raymond from the cold.

Gideon took off and stayed as close to the ground as possible, the closer to the ground the warmer, he thought. He flew quickly and landed, putting Raymond down carefully and walked inside, pushing Raymond in front of him.

Gideon helped Raymond take off all of his coats and then pulled him downstairs. "Go brush your teeth." Gideon said.

Raymond did so and Gideon sat down on their bed and turned on their TV. He was flipping through the channels and Raymond came back out of the bathroom and sat down next to Gideon. Gideon kissed him and said, "What do you want to do?"

Raymond hugged Gideon close, "I just want to lie here with my dragon."

"Ok, that works." Gideon said as he pulled Raymond back at put his head on a pillow, he pulled Raymond onto his stomach and rested his paws on Raymond's stomach. Raymond rested his head on Gideon's neck

Raymond shifted around a bit before getting comfortable, he closed his eyes and he fell asleep.

Gideon smiled as he heard Raymond start snoring. At that moment he knew everything would go right.

Raymond's letter from hospital:

Dear Mr. Zasturfinztin,

While you were in a coma we did some X-Rays of your body searching for internal damage and it has come to our attention that you were born with an active womb and have been impregnated. My best estimation is that you are four weeks.

Sincerely,

Doctor Tristen Ulison

**

Good or bad? Hehe, I put research into this, some men are actually born with an active womb believe it or not, in fact, there was a news segment about a man who had to get one removed :).

Anyways, positive and negative feedback.
