Bouncing Baby Stand User (JJBA)
New Hearts of Gold fic! This is my Bruno/OC romance series (also with Abba/OC romance) and it’s time for Bruno and Maria to have their second baby. (If you haven’t read the rest of the series, you can find it all HERE!)
~~~~~~
(Hearts of Gold Verse) Maria and Bruno are pregnant with their second child, but it's a little different this time around. Maria wakes up one morning to find that she can now see Stands and is also exhibiting several other strange abilities. The parenting books didn't exactly mention this.

Maria woke slowly, content and comfortable. She had finally seemed to get past the morning sickness phase so waking up in the mornings was becoming a lot less dreadful. Not that Bruno hadn't been the most doting husband in the world to hold her hair back and bring her whatever she needed while she lay in bed, and Fugo and Giorno had tried literally everything they could think of as a remedy. It had still been a lot worse this time around than it had been with Paolo. Carmen told her she thought it would be a girl since she'd gone through the same thing with Rose.
Still, it was all worth it, and every day brought Maria closer to bringing their new baby into the world.
Maria snuggled back into the figure who currently had his arms wrapped around her.
"Actually staying in bed this morning, mi caro?" she asked sleepily, bringing her hands up to place over Bruno's where they rested gently above her growing belly.
But when she looked down she didn't see her husband's hands. Shock and brief terror jolted through her as she sat up, whipping around to see a bizarre figure lying in the bed next to her, looking just as surprised as she was. Despite the fact that his eyes were covered by some sort of spiky helmet.
And then she recognized the figure from the drawings Narancia had done when she had first come to stay with them so he could show her what the Stands looks like.
"Oh," Maria said. "Sticky Fingers?"
The Stand nodded, still sitting there as if he too were not sure what to do.
The door to their ensuite bathroom opened and Bruno came out with a towel around his bare shoulders smiling at Maria. "Can I get you some breakfast in bed this morning, bella?" he asked.
Maria was distracted by Sticky Fingers fading away and turned to look at the spot. Bruno stopped, watching her with an odd expression. "Is something wrong, Maria?"
"I…" she said, still looking at the spot. "Was…your Stand just out?"
Bruno stopped mid-way through toweling his hair. "Wait…could you see Sticky Fingers just now?"
Maria nodded. "I…I think so."
The air around Bruno rippled and Sticky Fingers appeared again, smiling slightly at Maria. "Can you see him right now?"
Maria nodded, eyes wide.
Bruno stood there, looking completely perplexed. "Well, that's…odd," was all he was able to say.
