Having a baby with Ben
(A/N: Omg hi!! I’ve missed you all so much, and it’s been so long since I’ve written so I thought why not some Ben stuff? I want to thank @cardboardbenmazzello for bringing me out of retirement, your comments really got me going again. I also want to thank all of you for still following me and liking my stuff and what not, it means a lot. And please forgive me for not writing for a minute now, I’ve been super busy and my mental health was going down but I’m back and writing again! Sorry if there are typos, I was really excited to write again. Anyways, please enjoy and I love you, cutie🥰)
Finding out:
You and Ben had a good three months of dating because before that you guys were semi friends
Thanks to Gwil you two saw that you were kind of good together. They was also flirting between you two and you always felt comfortable together
You guys haven’t had the talk about kids or marriage or anything serious
He had also been filming a lot, so dates weren’t really a thing. He was filming or at the gym or something important so time together was amazing
When he came back you guys knew how to fill up time if you know what I mean (Stevie Wonder starts to play)
After that he was back and away at filming. Then, one day, you started to notice things were off
Small things like your boobs hurt or you wanted things that you hated or the smell of everything. You thought, at first, that it was just you’re period. Then, you noticed you were late
You knew right away that it was a possibility. Sometimes things get so wrapped up that you guys don’t think about protection
You couldn’t believe you were so stupid. You called your best friend immediately for them to pick you up a test, if you went the press could be all over you
When they got there you had drunken so much water you thought you would explode. You took the test and you both waited. You went around and around about if you were or not and what would happen but you ended up picking up that positive stick and knew what you had to do
Telling:
You were of course nervous. Kids never came up in any sort of conversation. Maybe when you saw a fan with a kid and you commented on how cute it was but you never talked about your kids.
You wanted to have it all planned out but when he came home it was a complete surprise. You had no idea he was planning on it either.
He came in really late at night but thankfully you were still up, watching your tv show and eating, while in his pajamas. You looked to see your door being open to just see him
You jumped up out of bed and ran into his arms before he could put his bags down. He hugged you hella tightly as you started to cry. You didn’t mean to, you had kissed him so much and you were scared to tell him because you thought you had more time. As he hugged you tighter you thought you would choke
“Don’t crush us.” You said as you broke apart because you realized what you had said. He folded his eyebrows at you before laughed a little. You smiled widely and then coughed.” Us.” You said as you put your hand on your stomach.
“Are you- are you kidding?” You shook your head as you felt sick.” I’m going to be a dad?” You nodded again.” A dad? I’m a dad!” He hugged you again.
“You’re not mad?” You asked him as you started to cry again.” No I’m not mad. Hey don’t cry.” He said as he put his hands on your cheeks.” I love you, I love you guys.”
The pregnancy/labor:
He was doing a lot of press tours but he was there as much as he could be, along with the others. You told him not to stress because it wasn’t a big deal. You both agreed that the last month and a half he had to be there no matter what and it seemed like a really good deal.
When he wasn’t there the first few months it was always Gwil or Joe. Simply because Joe had basically moved in and Gwil was there Incase you killed him. The others were visit but weren’t there as much as those two
Everyone kept you comfortable and safe. They made sure you ate right, took your vitamins, hold back your hair and always had someone there to cuddle with.
When Ben was there he did those things but better? You liked him there better because he always helped by talking about how excited he was to be a dad and all of those dad things
Joe tried but the second he got on baby names you thought you would lose your mind
“We’re not naming the baby after you!” You would yell from the kitchen. “Why not?” Joe would yell back at her. “Joe please.” Gwil would try to help. “Do it coward!” Joe would yell at you as you came in. You would look at Gwil as Joe kept yelling as to why the baby should be named after him. “We’re going to fight.”
Being pregnant was actually kind of fun for you. You didn’t have to do anything and it was great, sometimes you hated how much you did nothing but you got use to it because you knew the next eighteen years weren’t going to be like this
You were eating a lot of foods that you use to hate as well that made Ben laugh. You were eating his food, the food you made fun of him for. “It’s a boy, I just know it.” You would tell him as you ate his food. “Or it likes to be healthy.” You gasped. “Our baby is already weird.”
You also loved when you saw Ben get so protective of you two. He was always on something. Making sure you were laying right, not letting you do some things because of the baby, little things to. “Ben I can drive a car.” “You two are fine right there.” You nodded. “Is the three pillows necessary?” “Yes.”
You two got a dog because you would cry if someone wasn’t by you most of the time, you had no idea why but it was just what happened.
The baby kicks were amazing because Ben could feel them when they first happened, until Joe made his way when he heard you guys. “Coming through! What is Joe doing?” You both sighed. “The baby is kicking.” Joe put his hand on your stomach to feel. “It’s a sign he wants to be named Joe.” The baby then kicked, making Joe’s eyes light up. “I think it means he wants you to go away.” You would tell him. “Nope that’s just you, it’s kicking more, oh my god, I love you.”
One day it was you and Joe because Ben has went out for groceries, and by that you mean what you were craving when you felt a pain. You gasped and sat up as Joe was napping next to you. After a few seconds it happened okay. You hit Joe, working him up. “What? What?” He would say groggy. You just let out a groan. “I think I peed myself.” Joe laughed. “Your water broke! It’s go time people! We’ll call Ben from the car, let’s go, I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
Joe stayed with you until Ben could come. And when he did it was like the baby knew it’s dad was there because he started to come out, and fast.
How the gang is with the baby/parenting:
They all love it, very much. The baby makes one single coo and they all lose their minds. They’re over a lot to see the baby too.
They play with it so much, feed it when it needs a bottle, kisses it all over it’s face, the whole thing.
Rami is scared that he’ll break the baby everytime he picks it up. Gwil thinks there is nothing in the world is more pure than that baby. Lucy thinks she would break through walls for that baby. And Joe....
Well Joe thinks that baby is just as much his and the others. He is the most excited about being an uncle, he thinks the baby is cuter than a puppy, he loves this baby.
“Joe... my kid please.” You would say as you had a bottle warmed up. “Sleeping again but we’ll get back to you when we’re ready to eat.” You would shake your head before giving him to bottle.
“Is that a cute baby? Is that a cute baby? Yes it is! Yes it is!” Lucy would say as it was laying on the floor and crawling to her. “Look at them go, see come on baby, you got this.” Gwil would tell it
Rami says he feels like he could break it but when that baby is in his arms they lay there for hours upon hours. Everyone could be doing anything and that baby and him would just be chillin.
Joe lets the baby lay in his chest when it can’t sleep. Or just whenever it wants because that baby is crazy spoiled by him.
Having a hell of a lot of help because of how much they care about this baby. The baby is set for years when it comes to clothes and toys. They all love to see it’s face light up when it plays with a new toy.
You and Ben also love being a parent. You love to see them do the smallest thing because it’s crazy that they can. Their little baby hand holds anything and you two lose your mind
Ben loves being a dad more than anything. They do everything together too. He shops with them, goes to the mall with them, watching learning stuff with them, it was crazy
When the baby slept between you two it was the cutest thing to wake up to Ben cooing it back to sleep or hit him holding it and asleep
Ben would try to sing it songs to fall asleep but it likes it better when their other uncles do it.
“Ben it’s not going to choke on anything in its crib.” You would try to tell him as you found him over the crib again at night. “But what if it starts to eating the blanket.” “No baby would do that.” “But what if ours does?”
You always telling him how good of a dad he is and how much you love your little family.
Bonus! Growing up:
It’s been years later. Another kid and a marriage later to be exact.
It was the kids fifth birthday and everyone was coming over for the party. As more people came in the kid came shooting down the stairs.
“Uncle Joe!” The kid would jump into his arms, making him smile. “They kiddo, happy birthday.” Joe would kiss the top of its head.” Can you show me how old again?” Your kid would put up fix fingers with a smile.
“Growing up fast.” Lucy would say as she hugged you. “I remember their first steps.” You would say back. “Or when they started to crawl.” Gwil said as he hugged you.
“The party’s here!” Ben would yell as everyone got there. He would come over to you.” Roger got the cake, everyone brought a gift and the party is set. You did it, mom.” He said before he kissed you.” When do I get my superpowers?” He asked
“When you push out a kid.” You laughed before you kissed him again.” You’re already the best dad, what more could a kid want.” You both kissed yet again.
“Ew!” Both the kids and Joe would say as they walked in. A kid in one arm as he held the others hand. “Really?” Ben would say before running after them. Joe let them both go and to run off. “Save yourselves!” You smiled to yourself before walking into the living room to Ben grabbing both kids.
“You should have ten more.” Gwil said to you. “Yeah Y/N you two make pretty kids.” Lucy told you. “Agreed.” Rami would say. “Don’t we?” Joe agreed as he put his arm around you, making you all laugh. “I wouldn’t mind another one.” Ben spoke. Roger said back. “Yeah we’re getting old Y/N, they make us young.”
Ben and you both looked at each other. He looked at the kids with a smile before offering a birthday soda. “Not too much before dinner.” You reminded him and he just moved his head back and fourth. “Let’s go before we get anymore rules.” Ben told them both.
“You two are great parents.” You smiled.
“I’m glad you all feel that way because your wishes have already been granted.”
