The Journey To Parenthood: Part One.

(Fan fiction for Xianos and Deaconchaos. Pairing is of their two OCs, Xianos and Deacon. Also featuring my OCs, Osiris paired with Ephorox's OC, Sheen. Also featuring my OC's Camille and Tyr.)

Xianos flushed the toilet as the last round of vomit left his system, walking wobbling to the door. This has been going on for a week, the lizard would, out of the blue, rush to the bathroom and vomit his face off for the next hour. Making his way to the kitchen, Xi poured a glass of water, taking slow and patient sips. Everything around him began to spin and blur. Sitting down on the living room couch, he turned on the TV and began flipping through the channels.

He stopped when he saw "Dr. P" was on. Xianos enjoyed listening to the man talk about the science of whatever the world bothered him with that day. Xi watched on, slowly sipping his glass of cold water.

"Now, we have some ladies in the audience who are pregnant with us today!" The panda said, immediately a roar of applause following. "The nine months of pregnancy, ladies, will be grueling." Xianos listened as how the man discussed the symptoms of pregnancy and the signs that you're knocked up. Hearing this, for some reason, caused him to turn up the volume.

Something had told him to write everything down, which he did for the next twenty minutes. Looking at what he wrote, a lengthy list of symptoms, signs, and advice for pregnant women. The lizard said out loud what he wrote, one by one.

"The mother may have food cravings that they usually wouldn't eat."

Xianos rolled his eyes. Surely he wasn't the only one who liked pickles and ice cream.... Right?

"Serious mood swings are very common."

The lizard snorted, Deacon was just immature sometimes. But, maybe he shouldn't have screamed at him like that when he accidentally spilled the container of Clorox. The dragon didn't do laundry, much less chores of any kind often, as it was Xianos who took care of everything at home.

"The obvious increase in weight gain."

Well, no shit. There's someone inside you. Of course you're going to grow bigger. Then again, Deacon has been commenting on his weight lately, which Xi screamed at the purple haired dragon for too. He was putting on a little weight.

He finished reading the rest of what he wrote down, quickly reaching for his cell, calling Tyr. Tyr, his best friend since middle school, surely would know what to do. She always does. After the third ring, the other line answered with a "Speak."

"Tyr. Uh, you busy?" Xianos asked, nervously. How was he supposed to tell the woman he was possibly pregnant? "No, I'm not. Is something wrong?" Tyr asked, hearing the nervousness in his voice. "Uh, I think.." Xianos took a minute to catch his breath before continuing, "I... Think I'm pregnant."
