New Beginnings

Fives is overjoyed when he learns that he is to be a father. That same realization also terrifies him.

Warnings: Pregnancy. Talking about being pregnant. Small mention of blood.

--------------------------------------------------

"Cyare, I'm with child." You frowned. standing in front of the mirror, then rolled your eyes. What am I, a frail woman in a holodrama? You pretended to swoon.

You snorted at the attempted comedy, then straightened up and sighed. Try again.

"Hey baby, guess what? I'm pregnant!" You shook your head. Nope that wasn't it either.

"Hey Fives, guess what's for dinner? A bun in the oven!" You moved your arms wildly, motioning to grandly present your stomach in a dramatic Tah-Dah! moment. Nope. That was even dumber than the last one.

What about just plain and simple? You smiled, "Fives, I'm pregnant."

A resounding crash sounded from behind you and you spun around. Fives stood frozen in the doorway.

"You... you're what!?" He blinked slowly, eyes wide as though he couldn't quite believe what he had just heard.

You froze. Saying it to yourself was one thing but telling Fives, that somehow made everything seem so real.

"I... I'm pregnant." You whispered slowly as if just now coming to that realization yourself. "You're gonna be a father!"

Fives stood in the doorway, leaning heavily against the wooden frame, lips slightly parted.

"Pregnant." he whispered, more of a statement to himself than a question towards you. You're gonna be a father.

Was this a trick? Some holofilm you'd been watching? Did Echo put you up to this? His mind raced between all the scenarios in which you might say those words. None of them felt real. A father. How could he be a father? His heart swelled with pride but all the while a tiny voice from within scolded him sharply. Irresponsible. How could you bring a child into all of this?

But then the sheer joy and disbelief.

A father.

A dad.

Maker, there'd be a mini Fives running around. Rex would love that.

You watched him carefully for a reaction. But there wasn't one. He looked blankly ahead as if his entire being had suddenly stopped working.

Your face fell. He wasn't happy. I should've known better. He's a soldier, he doesn't have time for a baby. A thick knot formed in the back of your throat to accompany the burning in your eyes.

Fives looked surprised but his expression soon turned to one of worry.

"No, no baby, don't cry! What's wrong?!"

Too late. Your chin quivered as you tried hard not to let the disappointed tears spill down your cheeks.

"No, no sweetheart!" Fives rushed forward, folding his arms around you.

"You're not happy?" You sniffed.

Fives let out a laugh so sudden and loud that it made you jump. He pulled away so that he could meet your eyes. "Mesh'la, I'm thrilled!"

"Then why..."

The rest of your question went unsaid as he abruptly met your lips with his.

He pulled away,

"I was just kinda shocked, cyar'ika. I mean.... Me. A dad."

You looked back up at him and couldn't help but giggle. Fives grabbed your hand helping you around the catastrophe on the floor, then paused in confusion as you suddenly jerked your arm from his grasp.

"Fives! You're bleeding!"

"I...what?" He followed your alarmed gaze down to his left hand that was indeed steadily oozing blood from a gash in his palm. "Oh...oops." The two of you surveyed the mess of broken plates on the floor. He winced, looking guiltily back up at your face. You raised an eyebrow, motioning to the smashed dinnerware.

"What was all that stuff for anyway?"

Fives scratched the back of his head, "Uh, well, the old lady next door stopped me and said you might like them. I guess they were supposed to be a present, you know, for the baby or something." He bit his lip, "Sorry, Mesh'la."

You giggled. Granny Em, as you called her, was the first person you told when you found out that you were pregnant. You didn't find much use in fancy dishes but she was so kind to you and you didn't want to refuse her loving gift - not that it mattered now.

Fives groaned as you leaned heavily into his embrace. "I missed you, Mesh'la."

"I missed you too." His lips soon found a home on yours once again. You leaned into the kiss closing your eyes as you felt his hands begin to wander.

"Fives!" You sighed, trying to sound exasperated but the sentiment was quite impossible since you couldn't hold back the growing smile that threatened to overtake your face. "You're still bleeding and it's getting all over my carpet.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" Fives pouted, grabbing a towel from the counter beside him. He rested his chin on the top of your head, wrapping you in his arms again.

You couldn't help but smile before you playfully pulled yourself from his embrace, putting on the sternest face you could muster and grabbed his arm. "Come on, into the fresher with you!"

Fives smirked. His eyes held that mischievous twinkle you'd come to know so well. "The fresher you say?" He waggled his eyebrows.

You rolled your eyes. "Not like that."

He growled and swatted at your butt with his good hand as you dragged him over to the fresher.

"Fives!" You scolded as you pulled out the small first aid kit you kept behind the mirror, slapping it lightly into his non-injured palm. "Behave yourself!" The prickly stubble on his face tickled your lips as you placed a peck on his cheek, narrowly avoiding being sucked back into his warm advances.

"Yes ma'am." Fives salutled you playfully. Now it was your turn to swat at him.

"Hey!" he frowned, "How come you get to do that but I'm not allowed."

"Because," you placed another kiss on his cheek as you guided his injured hand to the sink. "Number one, I'm pregnant. And number two, I'm not currently bleeding all over the sink."

"Yeah, yeah." He teased, eyes crinkling as he winked at you.

****

You sighed contentedly, leaning on Fives' bare shoulder as he cleaned himself off.

"I've missed this."

Fives growled and fell backwards onto the bed taking you down with him.

"I did too."

"I missed you more though." You winked at him. Fives moaned, looping his arms around you so that your head lay on his chest.

"I missed you the most."

You lay in the quiet, enjoying the gentle feeling of being completely at home once again.

Fives chuckled in disbelief, "I still can't believe you're gonna be a mom."

You kissed his chest where you lay. "And you're gonna be a dad."

Fives was silent. You shifted onto your side, leveling to meet his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Fives sighed. "I just....I never had a father." He scoffed, "I dont even have parents at all!" He met your eyes, then looked away as if he was embarrassed. "What if..." he spoke so softly you could hardly hear him. "What if I mess up? What if I can't be a good dad?" His voice wavered, broken in a way you'd never heard from him before. "It's just... I'm a soldier, babe. A clone soldier at that. They'll send me out wherever they want. And... And what if -"

"Oh Fives," you whispered softly cutting him off, gently resting your forehead on his. "It's okay to be scared. I'm scared too. Having a kid - it'll be something we have to learn together. This is all new to me too."

He lifted his head meeting his lips with yours. "I know, Mesh'la. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. We'll get through this together and tackle any problems if they arise." You kissed him softly. "I know you'll make a wonderful dad."

"And you'll make a wonderful mom."

HAPPY 36th BIRTHDAY HOLLIDAY GRAINGER ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ "Sometimes people have a lack of imagination, for years I wasn’t bored of being in period dramas, I was just bored of being asked, ‘Am I bored of being in period dramas? And it does make you think, ‘Oh, should I switch this up now? Should I do something different?’ But actually, it sounds so cliché, but it’s all about the story and the characters. I think that historically they’ve been a stepping stone for white, middle-class English actresses, that these are your opportunities, and these are the roles… I do feel like it used to be a rite of passage. Like, ‘Now you can play the lead in a period drama, well done!’ [But] quite often they have been the good roles. I remember thinking that of all the scripts that I used to read, the best and most complex characters were often in period dramas, and that there weren’t very many opportunities outside of that to really explore complex issues. But I think that that’s changing now."
