Author's Note: Stupid livejournal managed to not back up the draft and so I had to do the entire thing over again. Pardon me if this entire entry feels half-ass'd.
Over the next week, Auriga found a majority of her time in the bathroom praying to the Goddess of porcelain. At first she assumed it was some sort of illness, trying to pinpoint what she had eaten that may have given her possible food poisoning. When her episodes became more routine, Auriga decided to get a check up at the hospital.
Auriga: I can't believe I'm pregnant. How did this even happen?
With Pax avoiding her calls and a promotion at the precinct keeping her busy, it was easy to forget she had slept with him. It could have been a very realistic dream for all she knew. But she had to be responsible, they both did. Somehow, Pax agreed to come over and see her after his wife went to sleep.
Pax: So what was so important I had to come over?
Auriga: Here's the thing, remember when you came over and we... well, I'm pregnant now.
Pax: Are you fucking serious? No, no this is not happening. You must have slept with someone else. Do you know how bad this is going to make me look if anyone finds out?
Auriga: People are going to ask how I got pregnant, of course they'll find out! You need to take responsibility, we're in this together.
Pax: We most certainly are not! I have a wife and a new born baby girl at home! My boss took me off the Framix accounts because of my little rendezvous with you!
Auriga: You can't be serious! This is your kid, too!
Pax: As far as I'm concerned, we never met! I don't want you to call me, I don't want you to come near my house, you understand? Stay out of my life!
It was becoming increasingly difficult to hide her pregnancy from Sarin, so Auriga decided to come out and tell her.
Auriga: I can't keep up the lie! There's something I need to get off my chest!
Sarin: I already know your pregnant, Auri.
Auriga: You can't possibly know that! How? No, no, this is not acceptable. This is my big news!
Sarin: Are you kidding me? No one wears clothes as tacky as that unless they're dying or pregnant, and you my dear look like a house.
Auriga: Well, I couldn't help but notice that you're gaining weight, too! Got an explanation for that?
Sarin: I'm just stress eating! Do you mind? It's rude to point out someone's figure!
Auriga: But you just-!
Sarin: Not cool!
Auriga: Well, I think I'm gonna hit the sack.
Sarin:Don't worry, I'll pick up.
Auriga: Now I'm definitely onto you.
Auriga had made plenty of mistakes in her lifetime. The time she thought she wanted to be a mime, the time she wanted to make her own cheese, that time she thought she could raise a whole litter of adorable kits. But they were nothing compared to this. Rejected by the one guy she really hit it off with. Being played for a fool by the other, and now she was pregnant. Things didn't seem to be looking up.
Sarin knew she would make a horrible mother, but with Auriga there, she knew it'd have someone responsible enough to take care of it. She'd still get her club nights, and that was all that mattered to her.
After a while, the elephant in the room could not be ignored.
Auriga: I'm just going to come out and ask it! Are you pregnant?!
Sarin: I might be, what's it to you?
Auriga: What do you mean! Sarin Terebellum, you better not be planning to pawn this baby on me! I have enough on my plate with my own!
Sarin: I wouldn't call it 'pawning'... more like letting you borrow it!
Auriga: SARIN!
Auriga: I need to answer this, but don't think I'm not done grilling you, missy.
Sarin: Whatever, I'm going to lay down. My back is killing me.
It was very late, but Auriga had agreed to meet Caph at the park. He seemed to have some urgent news, but was quickly side tracked.
Caph: By the power of Sam's goatee! You're huge!
Auriga: Did you call me over just to make fun of my girth?
Caph: What? No! You're the most beautiful planet sized woman I've ever met.
Auriga: Hold up, you can't just hit on a pregnant woman and expect everything to be okay. Are you ever going to tell me why you pushed me away before?
Caph: Sorry, kiddo. I'm not at liberty to say. But I can say that whatever it was that was stopping me before is over.
Auriga: Is that all you've got for me? I have to admit, it's unconvincing.
Caph: It's the truth!
Auriga: Whatever you say, Mysterio, just don't pull that stunt again.
Caph: I wouldn't dream of it.
And one thing lead to another.
Caph: Man, it's getting pretty late!
Auriga: My bed is this way.
That is how they made up for lost time.
Caph stayed till morning, which pleased Auriga. Despite it not being his baby, he was very supportive and caring.
Caph: So, you know what its gonna be?
Auriga: Nope. I figured I'd keep it a surprise.
Caph: Whatever they turn out to be, I'm sure they'll be just as beautiful as their mom.
Caph: I'm going to go to Armstrong's for breakfast, wanna join me?
Auriga: Nah, I think I'm just going to drink a glass of juice and lie back down. I'll see you later though.
It may have been a better idea to go out for breakfast, because she was not greeted with the most pleasant of images.
Sarin: This thing is trying to kill me!
Auriga: For crying out loud.
Auriga: I'll call Tom, he can take you to the hospital!
Sarin: What? No! Don't call that jackass! Just take me!
Auriga: I can't drive! Can't you just let him help us!
Sarin: I am going to gut you alive if I make it out of this!
Less than a minute home with little Lesath and Sarin is already being... Sarin.
Sarin: Maybe I should just put you in the trash. I'm sure a loving family will find you at the dump.
Sarin: Well, here's where our paths part, you little-
Auriga: Sarin, you bring him up here this instant!
Sarin: You lucked out.
Auriga: You know, it was really nice of you to give her a ride, but I really think you should leave.
Tom: You're probably right, but that's my son in there and I'm not leaving till I high five the little guy.
Except there was one problem.
Auriga: I think I'm going into labor!
Sarin: Too soon, Auriga. You think that was fun for me?
Auriga: No, I'm actually going into labor!
Sarin: Damn it! Tom, take her to the hospital before this kid ruins these floors! We won't get our deposit back if there's placenta in the tiles!
Unfortunately, Tom wasn't being the most cooperative member in the household.
Tom: No can do.
Sarin: What the fuck do you mean "no can do"?!
Tom: Not my problem.
Sarin: If you don't take her, I'll tell everyone about how small your penis is!
Tom: You wouldn't!
Sarin: Watch me!
After much arguing, Tom managed to get Auriga to the hospital where she had a healthy baby girl named Becrux.
Now that she was a mom, Auriga became obsessed with eating healthier, home made meals.
As well as perfecting her ability to cook.
Nothing in Sarin's routine changed.
Auriga: Lesath is crying, aren't you going to go check on him?
Sarin: Huh? I don't have time to check on him, I'm trying to hack into the Perigee's mainframe and it's very time sensitive!
Auriga: Fine, I'll check on him. But this is the last time.
He may have had a negligent mother, but that didn't mean the little guy didn't get some attention for Auriga.
Auriga: You were just hungry, weren't you? Well, don't worry, I'll send your mom in here for some snuggle time.
She then had some snuggle time with her own little bundle of sunshine.
Sarin: So I came in here and picked you up, now what? You're not really a conversationalist, you know that kid? Look, I'm just doing this so she doesn't break my computer.
