C Rescued Experiment

[Lovebite]

When Harry laid him back down, Daniel settled with his hands against his belly as he rested his head against the pillow. Turning his face into it with a soft whimper, the tears didn't stop even when Harry left him, he stroked his belly gently as he sobbed softly. He felt horrible, weak and ugly, his hands held his middle and he wanted nothing more than for his pregnancy to end. Though he didn't have control over that either, his eyes squeezed shut and he did his best not to keep crying but he was failing. He whimpered quietly as he held his belly and did his best to bring up that false happiness again, forcing himself to smile. When he finally felt their child move again and he weakly laughed, stroking the large grey belly that protruded from him,"It's okay. He'll come around." He murmured to them,"It'll be okay." He closed his eyes again and turned over slowly onto his side, burying himself in the nest he had made for himself and the baby. Careful of the IV and monitors connected to him by wires and tubes, he fell asleep and was still asleep when Harry checked on him.

He didn't speak to Harry after that day, he didn't want to, not even about the birth like he said, even if he knew the other was right about his narrow hips. Daniel spent the next few days mostly by himself, avoiding speaking to his lover and just distracting himself with thinking about the baby. As he always did now, he was excited to meet them, that was obvious at least when the alien saved his smiles for his belly and not Harry. It was almost as if the human didn't exist as they waited for the child's arrival.
