The pregnancy progressed and Glenn found himself getting more and more clumsy. If he wasn't sneezing apart his flower arrangements then he was almost slipping in puddles. Silver did try and fix whatever plumbing he broke but he often forgot about the water left behind. Luckily Glenn had been taught a quick spell to dissipate the water.
Eventually Glenn relented to the werewolf's pleading and stopped going for runs. He found a good number of work out videos he could do with little stress. Well, little stress at the start. As he got rounder and rounder the same workouts got harder and harder.
Silver seemed to get more protective as time passed. He wouldn't stop Glenn visiting friends or having friends come and visit but the werewolf started staying closer to the house. He did all his workouts inside where he could be easily reached if Glenn needed help for anything. What do you know, getting up off the floor while pregnant? Actually difficult.
Glenn began to stock up on potions of plentiful needs, he loved food but sometimes a potion to fix an empty belly or a sleepless night was needed. He also figured that when the baby was born he and Silver might well be to busy for woohoo, if he could even have it without being in pain. It made sense to brew potions that would help them get through while he could.
Sure, Ophelia was a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but she was Glenn's friend. So he and Silver began taking more time to talk to Oakley about what was happening in the house and in the world. If Oakley could actually understand he was bound to appreciate the insight. If he didn't understand, well what was the harm?
Silver: I'm so excited to meet our kid
Glenn: Yeah, me to Beefcake
Silver: What do you think they'll be like
Glenn: Honestly? I have no clue. From the sounds of the tests and imaging, they're pretty adaptable
The due date neared and Silver took Glenn on one last date to the local pub while they were simply two and not three. They were both excited to meet their kid but didn't want to risk forgetting what they had together as a couple. Before they knew it they were in a sterile room getting ready for the caesarean.
Glenn: You don't mind that I wanted to wait until they were born before we got married? I swear I am going to marry you
Silver: I know Babycakes. Just breathe and sway with me
Glenn: If I don't have a cervix why does it hurt so much
Silver: Miranda said it looks like the womb sack is migrating closer to the surface to make delivery easier. So things are still moving inside you, that's got to hurt
The procedure was pretty straight forward in the end, much like the ones male werewolves had. Glenn and Silver had their first kid. It turned out that the imaging issues were due to them being intersex. Deciding to follow Ophelia's comment that they hadn't decided who they wanted to be yet the dad's decided to treat their newborn as non-binary until they could indicate their preference.
Eden Sutherland joined the household
To say the two men were proud of their kid was an understatement.
Glenn: Papa has planted some veges here, right by your crib, so you can have some outside even if you can't go outside yet
Silver: They don't have bugs do they
Glenn: Did you hear that Eden? Your Daddy thinks bugs on indoor plants are bad. Don't you want to get nice and big so you can correct him
Silver: Don't start ganging up on me before they can even talk
Glenn: Do you want to hold our tadpole while I sort dinner
Silver: Oh yes, come to Daddy little froggy
Glenn: You know, some frogs can change their sex
Silver: They can?
Glenn: Yeah so froggy and tadpole are good nicknames for Eden
Silver: Biology classes have progressed since I grew up
Glenn: Oh no, I learnt that from Jurassic Park
The first few days of having Eden in the house were a breeze. Glenn had made enough plentiful needs potions that both he and Silver could spend the majority of their time looking after or just watching Eden.
