warnings: non-explicit violence
notes: Written for
mrsachid's prompt "mpreg" as part of
cookleta_hols and originally posted
here! Some lines were taken from the show, especially episodes one, four and eleven;
The Middlepedia and
TV Tropes were also invaluable. Information on pregnancy should not be taken as medical advice. No pop culture references were harmed in the production of this story.
A multitude of thanks to the following:
epicflailer for her enthusiasm and hand-holding, the
wrisomifu community for its support as I wrote the last 9000 words,
rajkumari905 for the encouraging read-through and
jehane18 for the speedy beta. Any remaining mistakes are my own.
