Mandelborne mpreg

[anonymous]

Not enough mpreg around here...

Gids pregnant. How do they react? Angsty but then fluffy, yes? Mandy- we're too old! Gids- but... baby? *wibble* Mandy- Oh, bugger.

Est. relationship please, either left!wife future or wifeless!AU, and OP would prefer just the realisation and bits of them dealing with it and looking to the future, but it's yours to play with of course.

Come on, you know you want it. Gids being all grouchy but still kickass with his sums, frightening everyone and eating copious amounts of ice cream whilst Mandy looks on fondly and keeps offering up unsuitable names? It needs to happen! Please!

This is perfect, perfect, prefect! I can't wait for more. This would be enough, I can't believe there's going to be more! I feel so lucky to have you, you wonderful anon. Thank you so much.

Peter scaring journalists was an AWESOME extra. And the Brangelina bit. And the fact Nick had a baby! Aww.

Can't wait to see where this goes!

I'm so glad you like it! :D There are two more parts to come, which should both be finished in the next couple of days, providing my brain and rl co-operate ;)

This is epically brilliant - simultaneously enjoying its own crackiness and making it not cracky at all. Love all the dialogue, especially Nick winding George up but bringing ginger tea, DCam being all concerned that George is happy, Peter coming over all BAMFy and especially George being so utterly grouchy and unsentimental. Very, very funny - please, more!

Mandelborne mpreg, Part 2a

(It is entirely possible that this author!anon got a bit carried away with this fic D:)

-

By keeping a fairly low profile George managed to ride out the first chaos of the media frenzy, so that within a few weeks the coverage had mostly died out to a few snippy and morally superior articles in the right-wing press and a running photo-feature in the Daily Mirror called BUMP WATCH which was really just a lightly-veiled excuse for their celebrity journalist to plunder the thesaurus for synonyms of ‘fat’ as George expanded.

And expanding, to be fair, was a rather optimistic way of putting it; ballooning felt more appropriate.

“Look at this shirt,” said George. He flung his arms out, and his hands disappeared inside the too-long sleeves with their dangling cuffs. “Look at it. I look like I’m in fancy dress as Eric Pickles

George stopped running his fingers across the lovely white cloth and cleared his throat. “They must have been expensive

George glared at her. It was fairly common knowledge that Theresa disliked having Equality appended to her Home Office portfolio, and that she disapproved of George, although in a general as well as a specific sense

Mandelborne mpreg, Part 2d

“I’m surprised it isn’t a spoon.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Keir Hardie,” George spat, “perhaps we ought to return it to Tiffany’s and exchange it for a pit pony and a - a flat cap - but don’t worry, one of your working class hero friends probably - stop laughing!”

“A flat cap,” Peter echoed, helplessly. “Honestly, my dear, I can’t understand how anyone ever gets the idea that the Tories are out of touch.”

“Oh shut up,” said George, and stacked the rattle on top of a box containing a Steiff teddy bear from Tony Blair.

“Do you think our child will turn out Conservative or Labour?” Peter asked.

George bit down on a kneejerk Tory, if I’ve got anything to do with it. “Maybe neither,” he said, in an attempt at diplomacy

The clock read ten minutes past three when George woke to an insistent bladder and an empty bed. The more pressing issue quickly dispatched with, he put on his dressing gown (now hopelessly undersized) and went in search of Peter. He found him in the nursery, standing in the middle of the room with the lights off

I adore this fic. It owns my heart completely. Thank you, anon!

Oh George!

Re: Mandelborne mpreg, Part 2e

Oh boys. It's so sweet that they're so scared yet so excited at the same time.

I ADORE THIS FIC! <3

and therefore I love YOU, anon!

Re: Mandelborne mpreg, Part 2e

[fatal_scribbles]

This is still fantastic. Thank you so much for doing this, it's exactly what I wanted, and much much more. I can't wait to meet the baby and find out what they call it! :D

Re: Mandelborne mpreg, Part 2e

I love everything about this fic - unbelievably grouchy George the poster boy for male pregnancy, the baby shower, Danny, Peter buying him tailored shirts, and then you throw this shining sentence in:

Peter looked up, more ruined than George had ever seen him, and George thought how strange and stupid a thing was the human heart, that someone could be that ridiculous and you could still love them that much, so much that it ached.

Hee! I usually find mpreg fundamentally disturbing. But here you've written a universe where it just happens with no explanation, and that actually works for me. Nick carrying Miguel instead of Miriam - eeee! A paternity ward in the hospital! Massive arguments over baby names! A baby throwing up over Theresa May's favourite jacket!!

So much love :)
