Thou Art with Child?!
Chapter 1- Stuck in Place
A/N: This story won’t be fully canon storyline wise, but almost all canon events did happen with specific plot moments changed for the sake of this story.
For example, White Lily cookie already been freed from her slumber in the Faerie Kingdom, certain characters not part of the Cookie of Darkness, the whole Beast-Yeast fiasco happening much much later.
ESPECIALLY having to deal with Dark Enchantress cookie running around because as far as I know that mf hasn’t been stopped yet 😭
Why? Because I CAN >:/
You were familiar with loneliness for years. Growing up you were an only child, no friends, no family, no partners. It never bothered you much, you preferred to live your live by your lonesome.
The problem is that others believed you were nothing more than a loser in the shadows. It sort of bothered you, but based on your social skills and personality, it was hard to even spark up a conversation with cookies.
That was until you met… them.
Oh, how you never thought you would feel this sort of way towards a cookie, nevertheless more than one. Maybe it was because of your loneliness, or the fact you’ve never met cookies such as them before.
United from all across Earthbread to fight monsters and save cookie kind with such braveness and kindness, you couldn’t help but admire them all.
Pure Vanilla cookie teaching you all sorts of healing spells, praising your magic. White Lily cookie timidly watching your skills with a smile, sitting in flowerbeds together. Golden Cheese cookie showing off her treasures with a cocky grin, doing little dances with her wings for you. Hollyberry cookie offering endless berry juice after battles, cuddling you so tight. Dark Cacao cookie drink tea with you, where you both painted together in comfortable silence.
Yet despite it all, your heart was given to them, and they turned it down. However you couldn’t be mad at all, how could you? They were kind, and rejected your love with such gentleness you couldn’t have the right to be upset, yet here you were.
Maybe it was your fault for being so foolish. They were THE heroes of Earthbread, destined to be rulers of their kingdoms and the saviors against Dark Enchantress cookie. How can you, a simple isolated mage, be worthy of their love?
You weren’t.
And maybe you never will.

“Ugh, I don’t have the strength for this,” A cookie groaned lowly, already exhausted from endless hours of chipping away at the giant boulder made of amber that trapped you within. His intentions were clear, yet his execution was taking longer than expecting.
Strength wasn’t his best attribute, only trusting his staff won’t break from the repetitive stabbing. Hours passed and he only managed to make a bowl shaped indent, causing the cookie to be ticked off with his lack of patience.
“Enough of this!!” He let out a shout of stress, grabbing a heavy rock from the ground and smashing it over the amber. Panting heavily, he snapped down when he heard a crack, seeing the rock embedded above the thick layer where your head was.
Slowly, the crack grew, before beams of light seeped through the cracks. The cookie quickly scrambled back, frantically finding his staff with his hand when he dropped it, his eyes never leaving the giant mass of amber fully cracking, flinching when your eyes snapped alive and made contact with his.
WHOOSH
The cookie covered his face when a bright powerful beam of light shot through the trees and into the sky, forming a hole within the clouds. The cookie was in shock and slight awe at the sudden show of light, where the light eventually shrunk and disappeared completely.
It felt like life began the moment light hits your eyes, causing a hiss to slip from your mouth, shutting them tightly. You felt the weight of your body tilting to the side, every limb was sore the moment you felt warmth on your body.
“Come come, no need to close those eyes again. Think about the baby~” A voice crooned in your ear. Fighting to open your eyes, your vision cleared to stare at the cookie who caught you before you landed on the ground.
His eyes are a piercing white with dark, slit pupils half lidded with heavy purple eyeshadow, gazing into yours with such intent behind them. A sly grin on his dough face while you felt his gloved hand pet your hair. His clothes, layers among layers with silk and fluffy fabrics, like they were made for the cold, and they looked familiar… wait- what did he say?
“Baby…?” You asked groggily, “Baby… baby!! Where’s my baby?!” Your heart dropped and you sat upright, accidentally hitting the cookies forehead and caused him to cry out in pain. You couldn’t fail as a parent now!! He- she? They!! were just born a few moments ago!!
“W-what the-?! I can’t move!” Amber was still encasing around your legs, preventing any more movement as the cookie kept a hand on your shoulder. Your baby weren’t in your arms, where in the Oven is your baby dough?!
“Stop squirming, you’ll twist a limb!” He hissed, downing you down before raising his staff above his head, slamming the end down where your legs were. Thankfully it didn’t explode into another beam of light, the cookie thought as the amber crumbled and freed your legs.
You lifted your legs, ruffling off some bits of the petrified sap off your clothes before hearing a tiny hiccup. Your head snapped to the cookie, where you saw your bundle of dough in his right arm, cradling your baby dough.
The cookie already looked uncomfortable with the baby in his hands, so you quickly grabbed the bundle and wrapped your arms
“Hey there,” You finally said, hearing baby dough coo and giggle, you gave a sigh of relief knowing your magic protected both of you from that explosion.
Speaking of which, what happened after?
“What the oven happened…?” You whispered more to yourself, “I remember an explosion to a mountain… then- Vanilla Kingdom!!” Your head shot up to the mountain sky, but felt dread when you couldn’t spot the Vanilla Kingdom, only a giant mass of gray clouds.
“Dark Enchantress cookie, was she stopped? Did they need help? I-I’m not strong with my magic, but I can heal good!” You spluttered out to the cookie. Despite the hurt of their rejection, you couldn’t let that stop you from helping your only friends.
The cookie watched with his piercing cat-like eyes watching every movement you make. Your adrenaline finally lowered, causing you to shiver violently when the cold air hits your dough.
Your baby dough began to whimper and cry from the cold too, tucking them to your chest while the cookie suddenly wrapped his fur boa around your shoulders, the end parts snuggling up to your baby.
“I must apologize,” He shook his head with his saddened expression, “However, the Vanilla Kingdom is no more,” The world felt like it stopped once more. The kingdom was gone…? What about the other kingdoms? Were they destroyed by the hands of Dark Enchantress cookie?
Did she win? When did snow fell amongst your forest home? How long were you exactly stuck inside the amber?
“How… how long ago?” What came out was a whisper, close to a whimper as sorrow filled your cookie body. The cookie walked up from behind and placed a gloved hand on your shoulder, his way of comfort, or at least that’s what you believed.
“Since the Dark Flour war, 150 years ago,” You felt like throwing up again. Your legs felt wobbly was your world felt like it was falling apart. Almost two centuries you were trapped in time.
“So that’s why… everything is different,” You pointed out, eyes closing when snowflakes dropped around your face. Your breathing was staggered, almost choking on the frigid cold air.
“My… friends… they’re all…” The cookie nodded slowly, having a dishearten look while shaking his head. Your heart ached so tightly it felt like shriveling up into nothing. That meant that your village, or friends, everything was gone.
The world may have continued forward, but you were stuck in the past, memories of merely seeing them last week felt like a trick. Your baby whined when a droplet of water fell onto their face, making you realize that you were crying.
Here you are, awakened from amber after 200 years to find out not only every cookie you once knew was gone, but the kingdoms of your
“Crying will do no cookie any good,” You whispered, wiping the tears away before pulling at the fur bow more around your shoulders. Turning around, you looked behind the cookie and at what remained of your house.
You were surprised to see it still holding up after all this time, though it seemed like it would turn to dust at any single touch. This was the only place to call home, leaving wasn’t an option considering the forest was snow an endless snowfall, which wasn’t good for your baby dough.
“This won’t do…” You mumbled, crouching down and touching the snow with your whole palm. Magic swirled around your hand before spreading across the forest floor, melting the snow and spreading lush grass and flowers around the open forest.
The cookie watched with wide eyes seeing the snow beneath his shoes melt and flowers blossomed. His gloved hand gently pushed at purple bellflowers that sprouted around the house.
“Who, exactly are you?” He finally said, looking up at you while you cradled your baby dough. Your house began to slowly rebuild itself, the wood dried up and nails dug into each board to hold stable until it was reformed back to what it once was before your body was frozen in time.
“(Y/N) cookie, at your service,” You bowed respectfully. The cookie said nothing for a moment, as if the mention of your name caused some sort of reaction hidden within his eyes.
The realization left as quickly as it came, and he gave a sultry grin.
“A pleasure to meet such a powerful cookie~ You may get to call me Affogato Cookie~,” He let a smooth chuckle through his lips, bowing down to copy my actions. You smiled awkwardly from him saying you were powerful. Ha! As if.
Now that your emotions were in a steady state right now, you took a good look at this Affogato cookie. He looked royal, or at least sophisticated from the clothes he wore, yet they looked ruffled. Despite his fancy clothes, he looked disheveled, as if he was tossed into trash and abandoned.
Heh, like a cat.
“You look awful,” That granted a glare from him, “Would you like to come inside? It’s the least I could do for freeing me- us…” Baby dough whined and squirmed in the bundle of blankets, wanting warmth.
Affogato cookie suddenly felt unsure. He’s seen many things during his attempt to take over the Cacao Kingdom, but he has never seen such a cookie like yourself.
He didn’t know how long he was running through, he doesn’t even know if he was still in Dark Cacao Kingdom territory, but now he’s found literally history from the past who was able to wield magic like it was nothing stuck in amber like a fossil.
You didn’t even know him, but you’re treating him with such foolish kindness (to him it was), welcoming him because he freed you. He could use this, he could find a way to use you to get back at Dark Cacao cookie, back at the kingdom that turned its back on him.
“It would be very hospitable of you, (Name) cookie~”

“You saw that too, right?!” Gingerbrave bounced around, tugging at the sleeve of Pure Vanilla’s robe, “That big ‘ol explosion just shot out a big beam into the sky!!” The cookie turned and proceeded to shake Wizard Cookie, who was so close in knocking Gingerbrave out with his wand.
Inside the walls of the Crème Republic, in substitute while the Vanilla Kingdom rebuilds itself, gathered the reunited Ancients of Earthbread. Along was the crew of Gingerbrave and his friends, every cookie at slight ease after the sudden silence of Dark Enchantress cookie.
“Of course, which is why I summoned everyone here, my dear Gingerbrave,” Pure Vanilla cookie smiled, his staff indicating that he was amused yet concerned. Whatever magic caused a blast like that, it was either something incredible or something dangerous.
“The Elders allowed us to use this meeting room once more to discuss what transpired merely moments ago, a great beam of light sprouting into the sky by strong magic of it was able to be seen by us thousands of miles away,” Pure Vanilla cookie explain softly, his staff peering down at everyone to see their reaction.
Dark Cacao was deep in thought, as the sudden beam was at the borders of his Kingdom and Hollyberry’s borders. Hollyberry tapped her chin while also wondering the same thing, her memories trying to recognize where she’s seen the placement. Golden Cheese furrowed her eyebrows, her wings fluttering his body to the ground. And White Lily fiddled with her staff with nervousness, still awkward in being in the same room with her friends.
“What do you think it is?” Strawberry cookie mumbled, tugging at her hoodie strings, “Hopefully something that won’t cause another war,” Wizard cookie leaned his head against his wand, dreading at the thought of another battle against a Cookie of Darkness.
“Some sort of valuable treasures I bet,” Chili pepper cookie grinned while rubbing her hands together. “Your king does live a sort of mystery,” Custard cookie beamed, trying to jump to see the table better.
“Could it be Dark Enchantress cookie…?” White Lily cookie mumbled under her hand, heart beating faster in fear at the thought of her counterpart causing more pain and suffering to poor cookies because of her.
“Bah! Nothing that we can’t handle now that we have united again,” Golden Cheese cookie boasted, twirling her spear before slamming it onto the ground.
“Would you wish for me to send soldiers to investigate?” Dark Cacao suggested, already knowing which soldiers to send just in case. He trusts that his First Watcher would track such a power down and inform him right away.
“Or would you like us to go there ourselves?” Hollyberry grinned while slamming her hand against her fist, hoping this was another beast for her to fight. “Yeah! Maybe they want to be friends!” Gingerbrave butted in while jumping up and down.
“I believe it’s another deceitful trick from Dark Enchantress cookie,” Golden Cheese cookie huffed, “Of that’s the case, then we must act fast,” Pure Vanilla replied with a determined look, giving White Lily cookie a comforting smile.
They all must figure such a mystery out, for it may even be a key into finally sealing away Dark Enchantress cookie once and for all.
“Onward, friends! To adventure!”
A/N: Ngl, I gotta need more ideas to this story, I want another traveling cookie like Olive cookie (I think the dynamic with her and Affogato would be funny) or even Caramel Arrow cookie (love my queen) to join the little family you’re building, like the big sister for Baby dough.
Also I need a name for Baby dough, any suggestions? Or do I leave them with the name Baby dough?
