A drabble I am too shy to post on my own lol, I request that you do it for me ;-;
Also, this was inspired by your recent arts hehe
This is set in Graceโs POV:
My midsection cramped up like a snake coiling round prey, squeezing tightly and making it hard to breathe. I groaned and braced my hands on my knees, these was starting to really hurt! A familiar melody reached my ears as my best friend ambled over โGrace-Baby coming, question?โ Rocky trilled worriedly โnnghhhhโฆ Y-yeah, Rock. I think they are..โ I managed once the pain began to ebb away. The Eridian made a wordless sound, a high pitched, fast paced melody that Iโve come to know as the equivalent of a gasp before running off โGrace go to house! Rocky return with Adrian!โ He called as he went and I watched him go, Xenonite Suit catching the dull light in interesting ways. I chuckled and shook my head, running my hand along my large bump where my baby rested โTypical of Uncle Rocky, huh?โ I said as I stood up straighter.ย
I was around halfway to my little house when two sets of melodies alerted me to the approaching Eridians โRocky back with Adrian, statement!โ Warbled my friend as he and his mate arrived by my side. I sighed and spoke โThanks, Rockyโ โWhat Grace-Friend need, question?โ Asked Adrian โโฆMaybe give me a lift?โ I requested sheepishly. The larger Eridian towered over Rocky, nearly reaching my own hight trotted over and scooped me up gently, Xenonite Suit preventing our bodies from truly touching. As Adrian and Rocky cantered towards the house, I became a bit lost in thought, gazing at the aliens I call my friends. Adrianโs shell was made of greenish stone, peppered with brownish pieces like an opposite of Rockyโs own and their voice was much deeper but no less melodic. As I was carried the rest of the way, I smiled. I was so lucky to have friends like Rocky and Adrian. They may be aliens but they were far better than any human friends Iโve ever had.ย
Once inside and on my feet again, another contraction hit, crushing my back and belly and forcing a strained moan from my throat. I held onto the larger Eridian for support, receiving a song of praise and encouragement as Rocky milled about, grabbing towels from my linen cupboard and instruments from my personal medbay. We were working the scarce knowledge I knew on labour and delivery and once again I was grateful for my alien friends. Their memories are utterly incredible, able to memorise info on sight. There was pressure rising deep within me and I sobbed. It hurt really badly! On instinct I rocked my hips, holding Adrianโs odd hands, moaning and gasping as the pressure and pain increased. I rode the terrible wave and once it passed I nearly collapsed against my green friend. The pressure had disappeared along with it, thankfully. That was horribleโฆ
โWhy Grace leaking from not-face, question?โย
Tadaaa!! I hope you like it :3 (feel free to draw things if you want, Iโd love to see how youโd interpret this heheh.
Also, I took a creative liberty with Graceโs lil house coz I havenโt been able to watch the movie nor read the book yet and I havenโt no clue whether heโs got a specialised medical area in there or not. Thought it would probably be convenient lol
aw don't be shy!! the joy of ao3 is at Ur fingertips ๐๐ป thank you for the delightful grockdrian โค๏ธโค๏ธ
also the book is available in pdf form on the internet archive.
here is a mega thread of places to stream TV and movies (use Firefox, as it now has a built-in VPN, and make sure you have ublock-origin extension to avoid adverts).
I enjoyed the book (even if it was a bit slow in parts). even then, i managed to read it in a month and I am not a huge reader (I joined a book club to peer pressure myself into reading more lol). and ofc the movie is gorgeous and fun, I hope you enjoy it when u get time to watch!
