Ava smiled widely at his compliment, four years into having Andrew in her life and still feeling bashful when he complimented her. “That’s because you loooove me.” She provoked, that smile turning into a smirk as he continued. “Well, good. Because I do love it when you suck on them and they’re going to need some special attention when I’m breastfeeding, some tender love and care.” She pouted teasingly, but she knew it would be true. Vivian had talked to her about that already, about some of the difficulties with breastfeeding, and how her intimacy with Wes helped even in those cases, whenever she had any sort of soreness, pain or even more serious issues like milk clogs. Having that intimate moment with care and tenderness with the love of her life had helped her not feel so desperate and lost in those situations.

That groan of his washed those thoughts away from her brain and all Ava could think of now was making Andrew groan like that again, maybe even a little louder soon enough. She continued to massage his balls, feeling the way his underwear was getting tighter and tighter and smirking against his skin, choosing a spot on his neck to latch her lips onto and suck on it, another mark left behind. “Oh?” Ava blinked, leaning back only a bit to look at him but just in time to feel his hand on her breast. Looking down at it, she could see it, her breasts were indeed a bit bigger just by the way Andrew’s hand felt fuller now. And her whole body shook instantly as he squeezed her, making her let out a soft, slow moan. “Yeah, that feel familiar.” She teased, eyes flickering shut for a moment when she felt his touch on her nipple, even if softly.

“Hm, I do love it.” She nodded, looking up at him again, letting her hand move to wrap around his cock, slowly pumping him now as her back arched into his touch on her nipple. She truly was more sensitive than usual, he had barely touched her and her nipple was hard under his fingertips, sending a shiver down her spine and making her clit throb. “It feels amazing.” Ava sighed, that tug making her quiver and smirk up at him, reaching her free hand to hold onto his neck. “I vaguely remember something about you pinching them too.” She provoked, looking into his eyes. “And kissing me, I remember there was a lot of kissing and me moaning just how much I love you into your lips.”

“Silk pajamas are a pretty great idea, babe.” She looked at him with a smile on her lips, like he’d just solved all her problems. “I think silk sheets are way too expensive and we don’t know how long this sensitivity will last, but the pajamas might be good, get a nice gown maybe, something comfortable but also sexy.” Ava smirked. If she could fix one problem and also look nice for her husband at once, why not, right? She’d definitely have to talk to the girls, especially Vivian. Ava simply didn’t know how to exist in the world as a woman with big boobs, with boobs in general really, she’d always been someone that could easily go braless forever but she knew that would change, at least while she was breastfeeding. “I’m not sure, I know some go back to having small boobs but I don’t think they come back to the exact state they were before. I’ll ask my mom, maybe some genetic component might tell me if I’m to be a big boobed woman in the future.” She chuckled.

Her lips curled in a smile as Andrew was quick to affirm he did still love her butt. “I love you too, babe.” Ava gently kissed his chin. “And I love your butt too.” She did, she loved every bit of him, always had and always will. And she’d love him more as time passed, she knew she would because that was what had happened since she moment she felt for him, her love only grew, bigger and stronger. She listened to him with the most loving smile on her lips. Andrew was right, they had grown, they had allowed themselves to love again, to be loved. And they had indeed accepted a little life into theirs, that very little life growing inside her. She looked into his eyes, her heart racing when she thought about the fact that in a few months she’d see that shade of blue on their son. “I’m so glad you put out the fire on my curtains four years ago.” She whispered, feeling her heart pounding in her chest like she was telling him a huge secret. “That we found each other, that we gave ourselves a chance on happiness, together. And that we’re doing this, parenthood, this little boy.” She grinned, stealing a lingering kiss from his lips. It would always be the two of them, only now it would be the two of them, together, facing whatever they had to face to raise their son with love.

“It is our thing.” She nodded, kissing the corners of his lips, grazing her teeth on his chin. “Oh, I remember our first time like it was last night.” Ava genuinely did and she didn’t quite know how, since they were indeed pretty drunk. But she did, every detail, every sensation. For a moment it crossed her mind that they had also made a baby that night. But a baby that, in her own beliefs, had been a prelude, a foreshadowing of what the universe had in store of them, of how powerful their union was. And back then Ava had already felt that if she was to ever have a baby, maybe Andrew’s baby wouldn’t be so terrifying. And now there they were, in each other’s arms, their son growing in her womb, against all odds. Happy, in love, and pregnant. “We are so going to traumatize him.” She laughed. She could not wait for that either, to just tease their boy with how much they loved each other and kissed and just spend so much time together. “He’s going to be so annoyed.” She giggled, way too excited about that idea but allowing herself to feel that way. 

Andrew’s groan had her walls clamping lightly like her body knew what that meant. And maybe it knew now more than it did before, the very consequence of hers and Andrew’s lust and love mixed together growing inside her. She kept on massaging him the way she knew he liked, watching the way he kept his eyes closed, the smallest of his reactions always arousing her beyond belief. “Oh, did I?” She smirked, giving him a soft squeeze and reaching down a bit to cup his balls now, massaging them carefully but firmly. “Was that the magic touch maybe?” She teased, burying her face in his neck to kiss him slowly, teeth grazing on his skin as she nibbled here and there, leaving tiny marks behind. “What else did I do?” She whispered in his ear, pulling his earlobe between her teeth gently.

“They’re definitely more sensitive, I feel like every fabric is making my nipples itchy and every little thing you do makes them hard in like, two seconds.” Ava reasoned, a tiny smirk curling the corners of her lips. “Which is not me complaining at all.” She added, teasingly pinching his forearm. Ava knew she wouldn’t get as big as Viv, but for someone who had small breasts her whole life, she didn’t even know how to have big boobs, the right bras to wear, how to exist with bigger breasts. She’d have to ask Vivian for advice and where to buy bigger and more supportive bras, since hers were starting not to fit her anymore. “You think I’ll be one of those moms that ends up having bigger boobs forever? Like, my boobs won’t go back to being small as they were before breastfeeding?” She asked him, an eyebrow quirked, because who in the world knew her body better than herself? Only Andrew, who could probably even pinpoint every single freckle she had with his eyes closed.

Ava listened to him, at first with a soft frown. Was he saying he wasn’t physically attracted to her anymore, just attracted to her personality? Which was a nice sentiment she deeply shared and understood, loving him so much that the things that attracted her about Andrew changed as time passed and her love for him was what truly made her want him more and more every day. As Andrew went on, her lips curled in a goofy, loving smile, and she scooted even closer in his embrace, wrapping an arm around his waist. “Andrew Hunt, are you saying that what makes you want to fuck me so bad every day is not my nice butt anymore, but my personality?” She provoked, kissing his neck gently, playfully nibbling on his earlobe. “We’ve changed, babe, damn.” She teased, leaning back a bit just so she could look into those blue eyes. “You’ll always be my DILF, no matter what changes about yours and mine appearances. I’ll always be dying to make love to you at the end of the day. And I do think the pregnancy is making me much stronger, so who knows how that could actually improve our sex life as time goes.” She grinned, kissing the corners of his lips softly, squeezing him in her arms when he wrapped his arm around her as well.

“You know what we could do?” She smirked back at him, letting her hand trail down his back and cupping his ass, squeezing it gently. “We could make love all we want and then we can talk all the baby names with you still inside me, just like we did when we shared our wedding vows.” That was almost three years ago, she could barely believe it. Three years of being married to the most amazing man in the entire planet, galaxy even, she’d dare. Waking up to that smile and those blue eyes, building a life and a home, going on adventures. “It was special.” She smiled widely. Maybe they didn’t know exactly the round that had made the baby, but they would never forget the night, the sheer happiness in their hearts while they celebrated Valentine’s Day and their new dream home, the love they had for each other, the euphoria of each round, each time they brought each other to their peak pleasure. “I always hear about those couples that know the exact moment, exact time, and just... We have so much sex, what if we forgot?” She chuckled, moving her hand so it gently sneaked inside his boxers, cupping his butt again and just holding on to him. “But I don’t think we’ll forget, it was too special of a night for us to forget. And we’ll tell him about it when he grows up just to embarrass him.” Ava laughed deviously, nibbling on his stubbled chin. “Would you kindly remind me what was it that you did that got me so pregnant, Mr. Hunt?” Ava provoked, trailing her fingertips inside his boxers up his hip bones and moving between their bodies so she could cup his cock now, gently beginning to massage him.

Ava truly couldn’t be more thankful that Andrew was the one she was doing all of it with, doing life with. This house wouldn’t be the same without him, the dogs, that baby in her belly wouldn’t even have existed. She watched quietly from the stairs as he went to feed the pets and smiled. She had lucked out in ways she didn’t understand still, from a curtain on fire came a lifetime of love, respect, admiration and growing together, the biggest love she could ever have imagined and now legacy, a whole person growing inside her and made with that very love, made by the two people in the world that were so damn sure they would never live a love like that. 

She went upstairs and finished undressing, keeping her laced panties only and falling on the bed once her clothes were in the laundry basket. Her nipples were itchy as hell and she was so damn glad to be home and actually be able to get rid of that bra and itch away, the small freedoms of not being surrounded by people always being her favorite. She laid on her back, enjoying it while she still could and the bump didn’t hurt her, and stared at it, that mound forming right in the center of her body. It was way too insane, to know there was a person in there. Hers and Andrew’s little person. “You freak mom and dad out, you know?” She whispered, placing her hands on the bump. “But in a good way. We were also terrified of love and now we can’t live without each other. You’ll see. We’ll love you so much you’ll be tired of us by the time you’re one.” She grinned.

She’d heard the door opening and smiled when she saw Andrew, already getting rid of his own clothes. Of course she’d made a baby with that man, right on that very bed, how could she not? “Hi.” Ava smirked lightly, reaching out to run her fingertips through his chiseled jaw when he laid next to her. In many ways, Andrew was still that guy living across the hall from her, that firefighter with crazy work hours, a huge appetite, a preference for dogs over people and the most beautiful eyes - and body - she had ever seen. Only now he had those scars that made him look even more manly, the eyes of someone that had learned what true love was, the many dogs he had always wanted, and she didn’t have to cross the hall to kiss him anymore, just turn to the other side of their custom made bed. “You think?” She grinned at his words, having noticed her breasts starting to change but not much, and she was sure she was just imagining things.

Ava chuckled when he called himself her DILF, which he very much was, and she took his hand to put it right on the belly. “You still truly find me attractive, babe?” Ava looked at him. “With this huge bump in the way, my body getting bigger. You do think I’m your MILF?” She’d always been so lean, so small next to him, and Andrew had always been so attracted to her, sometimes she had a hard time believing he enjoyed all those changes her body was going through. “I’m torn between wanting to choose baby names now but also really wanting you to suck on my boobs and fuck me.” She admitted with a teasing pout, scooting a little closer to him and leaning against his chest, pressing her boob against his skin and the bump too. “Babe.” Ava whispered, her lips against his jaw. “You think we’ll ever forget the night we made the baby?” Her pregnancy brain was running a mile a minute, she knew, but she couldn’t stop it.

firehunters​:

“Babe, I know! How in the world did that damn magic sperm, that one tiny little thing swim through the tiniest of cracks of a misplaces IUD and found my egg?” Ava still couldn’t believe that. She could not believe she was in the 1% of the statistics, that their baby boy would be born with a contraceptive device stuck to the placenta. Of all couples in the world, especially those trying so hard to have a child, Hunts ended up with a miracle, one in a million kind of baby. “And how mine of all bodies, a body that has been through so much, a recovered addict’s body, is now growing this huge healthy baby boy with these long legs and probably some blonde hair already growing it there?” It was all so, so damn surreal. If she wasn’t the one actually growing that baby, she wouldn’t believe it.

Andrew touched her bump and she immediately felt calmer, like when he touched her she knew it was all true, real, it was happening and they would be okay. Ava never liked being touched by strangers and pregnancies felt like magnets for inconvenient people to think they had the right to touch you, which was the only reason why she still tried to keep the bump concealed a bit with her flowiest of dresses. But Andrew’s touch had always been her medicine. And he touched the bump, she could swear the baby felt it too. She held onto his wrist gently, smiling up at him. “It’s because we made him with so, so much love.” She grinned. That had definitely been a baby made out of love. They had been celebrating their new home, a dream come true, a new phase of their life. Celebrating Valentine’s Day too, just taking time from all the unpacking to be together in their favorite way. 

“We did, we made a person.” She nodded, gently pinching his forearm, stopping with him to wait for the cab to park. “I hope so, I hope nothing happens to him. Even if birth is difficult, which I know will be because it always is, that nothing happens to him. Now that we know he might be a larger baby, I’m going to review the birth plan, redo my yoga routine too for more hip opening movements.” Ava was going to continue with her new planning until she heard Andrew’s answer and she smirked up at him, stopping before she entered the cab. “Well, good.” She whispered back to him. “Because I’d very much like to be fucked by my very own DILF too.” She planted a kiss on his chin and then entered the cab with him, making herself comfortable.

Soon enough they were home and Ava was washed over by a huge relief just seeing that familiar door, their beautiful firehouse turned residence. They’d raise their son there, have more and more pets as time passed, have friends and family over and live even happier times in there. They walked in and the pups and T came to greet them, tails wiggling, cries of excitement, but no jumping. Animals truly were blessings, she knew this now even more. Andy had gotten a lot more protective of her and Vi, it was as if she knew more than the others, and she understood what Ava was going through so sometimes she’d just lay next to Ava and rest her head against the belly, one hand on Ava’s leg as if telling her it would all be okay. 

“Hi, hi, you’re all having a baby brother.” She smiled after Andrew’s announcement, leaning down to scratch their necks and give them kisses, and even give T gentle pats on her butt like she loved, her tail trembling and her meows low and welcoming. “You’ll take good care of him, won’t you?” She cooed at them, letting Oli and Larry lick her hands. “Mom and dad are going to go have some mom and dad time, okay? We’ll go play outside later, I promise.” Ava whispered to them, kissing their nuzzles before she pulled back and hung her purse on the hanger by the door, kicking off her sandals. “God I need to get naked right now, my nipples are so sensitive, this bra is killing me.” Ava groaned, already pulling the dress up her head and making her way to the stairs. 

firehunters​:

Ava looked at what Andrew was pointing and laughed. He was right, there was an unmistakable little penis there, they were having a boy alright. “God, we’re having a boy.” Ava’s eyed widened for a moment as she stared at the ultrasound, walking slowly next to Andrew. “We’re having a child, babe. An actual human baby is growing inside of me and is going to come out of my vagina and grow as tall as you one day.” She was both marveled and terrified at the same time, waving the picture for him to see like he hadn’t seen it before. “We made a baby. Do you think about that? That we created human life. Us. Andrew and Ava Hunt, the one couple in the world that was fully ok with not having children, we made a miracle baby.” Ava sometimes still couldn’t believe it, no matter how big she was getting, how different she felt, how things were changing. “How on Earth did we go from ‘wanna make out’ to teary eyed because we’re finding out we’re having a baby boy?” She shook her head, incredulous.

Life had thrown so many surprises her way since the day she met Andrew. It was impossible to list even, to count. Every single day with him in her life she learned something new, about the world, about him and about herself. Including, as it seemed, that she was major fucking excited to have a baby, to be a mom and to watch Andrew Hunt become a father too and made everyone baffled at how amazing of a father he would be. There he was, looking at his own arm, imagining their baby. And she knew he was right, the baby would fit right there, not only because Andrew’s arm was huge but because he would be tiny and blonde and cute. Her eyes filled with tears again. “I cannot wait to see you holding him.” She admitted with an embarrassed chuckle. “I feel so ridiculous, but I’m so excited, so fucking happy. I just want him to come out already so we can see how he is, hold him and know we made that person, it’s our little person that we made together with so, so much love. This impossible love we never thought we’d have and we’re here, four years later almost.” She sighed, shocked at how things had changed for them, how far they had come together, as a family, as the unit they were from the first time they kissed. 

“Not gonna lie, I kinda hope he’s a bit smaller.” Ava admitted with a chuckle. “For the sake of my body and birth. But he could be an average sized baby and then grow super tall in his teenage years, like you.” She pointed out. Andrew always loved reminding her he had once been a scrawny kid, maybe their boy would go through the same changes. “I definitely don’t think he’ll be as small as me, and he does have tall genes from both sides, my dad and my uncles were all as tall as you.” She added as they exited the building and she looked around. A nice walk could be good. At the same time... “Cab. I want to be home soon, just you and me, preferably naked.” She said like she made the most important decision of that day. His compliment caught her by surprise, if only because they were still in that baby haze and Ava smirked, leaning a little closer to him, palming her free hand on his chest.

“Can I be considered a milf already before my baby is even born?” She provoked, smiling teasingly at him and wrapping her arms around his waist. She would never not be amused and even more in love with much taller than her Andrew was. The bump was already getting in the way of their tighter hugs but she could still hold him a bit, facing him like that, and she would take any chance she could get. “I love you, you know that?” Ava whispered, gently pinching his back, eyes on his. She did love him, she loved him with a love there was out of this world, and she was even more sure of that now because only a love that big could create a miracle baby like their boy. “I wouldn’t do any of this with anyone else. It had to be you, killjoy.” She teased. “It had to be you, and only you.”

firehunters​:

“We’ll find him the best name.” Ava said with a certainty that filled her heart and startled all at once. She looked into Andrew’s eyes when he touched her cheek, those bright, shining blue eyes that she knew their son would have too. Would he look more like Andrew or more like her? Would he look like the perfect mix of both? She couldn’t wait to find out. That was what was incredible to her, how eager and excited they both seemed to be to get to know their baby, their son. Two people that considered having a children an absurd option for most of their lives now were both teary eyed learning they would have a son of their own. “Oh, it has to be an name with an A, no question there. We’re AHs, it’s how it goes.” Ava grinned, already imagining the cute monogrammed things their moms would find for their grandson. 

She sighed almost sadly when he let go of her to go call the doctor, even if she knew it would just be a moment of his absence in her arms. That pregnancy had made her all the more attached to Andrew and Ava didn’t mind that at all, even though working had become difficult for them, being apart and having different hours. She just wanted him to be with her for every little thing that changed in her body as their son grew in her womb, to share everything she could. Part because she had always thought that was the role of a father, to be just as present and responsible for the child as the mother, it was how she had been raised while her father had been alive. But also because she was afraid she’d do something wrong if Andrew wasn’t there, that she couldn’t do it without him.

“We’re having a son”. She repeated when Andrew came back to her, his hand on her stomach making her feel calm, protected, and she could swear the baby felt the same too. Ava looked at him, eyebrows perking up when Andrew said he wanted to keep that information between them. She was thinking the exact same thing. It wasn’t that they wanted a huge gender reveal event, she just wanted to enjoy that fact for a while, just her and Andrew, the love of her life, her soulmate, the father’s baby. “I think that’s perfect.” She smiled as she nodded. “This is ours, it’s our thing, our son. We deserve some time to have it be just ours, to just... Love each other and this boy we made together.” Her smile grew wider and she arched an eyebrow. “You think they can tell the gender just by the scent?” She didn’t really doubt, animals were incredible and all of them had gotten a lot more attached to her as well since she got pregnant, even T liked to lay next to her and rest her head on the belly. 

The doctor was coming in right then, a printed picture on her hand and a smile on her face. “There he is, your little man.” She handed the picture to Ava, which she took with a wide grin on her lips, looking at it, their boy! “Everything is going fine, ok? I want to see you only a month from now, maybe even forty five days.” The doctor let her know, turning off the ultrasound machine and leaning against her desk. “But of course, if you feel anything different, or if you have any question, just give me a call any time.” She reassured Ava and she nodded, carefully sliding from the slab and putting her shirt down to cover her stomach again.

“Thank you so much, doc.” Ava grinned, grabbing her purse on a hanger by the bed and hanging it on her shoulder, taking Andrew’s hand with her free one. “We’ll be back before you know it, thank you.” She waved her goodbye, shaking the picture in her hand and leading Andrew out of the room. “Look at him.” She showed him the picture. “He does have long legs, don’t you think? I don’t know much about babies but he seems like a big one.”

firehunters​:

Ava listened to Andrew, knowing more and more by the minute that she would never be able to do this without him. It had to be him, she could only have his child. The universe wanted it and there they were, about to bring a boy of their own into the world and Andrew was right; that boy would know people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, all colors, faiths, political views. And they’d raise him to be respectful, hard-working, gentle and strong. Ava nodded at his words, knowing her hormones were getting the best of her, but how could they not? Another thing that made her sure Andrew was the only one she could be doing this with, he was also a person that had never dreamed of children but now had to step into the mindset of a future parent, of someone that understood the responsibility of having a child even before he had one officially.

She could see it in his eyes, that shine of tears he wouldn’t allow to fall but it was there. They were having a son. She knew their emotions would be the same if they had found out it would be a girl, it was just the sheer peace of knowing, and how much more real it became now. “All the shark things, oh God.” She laughed through her tears, already picturing that blonde little boy with shark costumes, shark plush toys and everything shark they could find. “I love that we can just call him a he now, find him a name that we actually like. And his middle name will be Andrew.” Her lips curled in a wide, proud grin like she’d just gotten exactly what she wanted, and in many ways she had.

“Yes, yes.” She nodded, avidly. They had to tell their moms, their friends, his siblings. Everyone would be excited, she knew. Jenna would be thrilled that the boys would have another guy friend in their lives, that she was also going to have a boy and they could exchange even more experiences of motherhood. Vivian too, she’d love it, and Callie would be happy to be the only one having a girl, special as always. “Can we- Can we just first go home and be just us for a while?” Ava said, though, tightening her embrace around Andrew’s waist. Suddenly she felt the urgency to be alone with him, just him, just the two of them. Because in the end, it would always be just the two of them, raising that baby, going through the rough moments of parenthood. “Just the two of us, and our boy.” She smiled at him, gently pinching his sides.

His question had her laughing. “Well, we’re used to it already, it seems to be our destiny to be the only girls.” She grinned, pressing her cheek against his chest. “A son, babe. A son. I can’t believe it.” Ava whispered, closing her eyes, trying to picture that boy.

firehunters​:

Ava made a face at Andrew. How could he be so calm and level headed? Which she knew he almost always was and that also, deep down, he was still slowly trying to process the pregnancy just as much as she was. But her hormonal brain just wanted to shake him up and insist that maybe the baby did have two heads, maybe she was growing a creature inside her that would be scary. “What if it is a girl and we have to raise her in this god forsaken country? In this world where women suffer just for existing?” She pointed out, knowing she was spiraling, but she couldn’t control it. “What if it a boy and we do our best and he still grows up to be a jerk? Someone that says straight pride should be a thing?” Ava arched an eyebrow as she looked at Andrew. It was a possibility, wasn’t it? One that made her want to throw up everything she hadn’t in the first months of her pregnancy.

“Please don’t grow up to be an asshole.” She whispered to the belly again, realizing ever since they had found out the baby could hear them, both of them had been having conversations with that child. Yet another thing Ava never, not in a million years thought she would be doing. It was so difficult to control those urges to be a cliché parent. But at the same time, she knew how much her parents had talked to her when she was still in her mom’s belly, Erika told her that, and how much she’d react to their voices, how they could calm her down easy when she was born because she recognized their voices. Truth was, Ava couldn’t wait to feel the baby kicking when it heard her voice or Andrew’s. She couldn’t wait to hold that little one that would be looking between them because it recognized who they were, the parents, the people that were meant to protect that little human.

The doctor nodded at Andrew’s words and spread some of that gel on Ava’s belly. She was getting used to it, but she still hated it. It was cold and sticky and a nightmare to wash off her clothes. But it was for a good cause. She always forgot how much she hated it when she looked at the screen and saw the little Hunt there. She squeezed Andrew’s hand, looking up at him and smiling before her eyes were on the screen again. A full on spine was visible, little arms, little legs, a head. “Is that a nose?” She pointed and the doctor nodded. 

“Adorable, isn’t it? I’d say it looks like yours, at least for now.” The doctor teased, giving Andrew an apologetic look. 

“Look at the hands.” Ava sighed in awe, watching the baby move in there. It was crazy, she couldn’t feel it yet, but it was there, moving. Legs moving up and down like it was stretching them. “Already doing yoga in there.” She teased, tugging on Andrew’s hand. “Move those legs, Hunt, come on.” She encouraged, her free hand on the side of her stomach like she wanted the baby to feel her touch. 

“Let’s see.” The doctor moved the gun around, following the movements and the direction the baby was turned to, pressing some spots that made Ava wince mostly because it felt odd, but it didn’t hurt. “Oh, there we go.” The woman smiled excitedly when the baby seemed to stretch and then relax, legs moving in an odd angle that Ava didn’t understand shit of what she was seeing. “See, right here?” The doctor tapped the screen, moving the gun a little more, shifting the image a bit. “This little bump here in between the legs?” She pointed and Ava squinted her eyes, noticing it, a little protuberance that seemed to be floating between the mini Hunt’s legs.

“Babe.” Ava held tighter onto Andrew’s hand, her eyes immediately filling with tears.

“That’s a little man right there.” The doctor smiled widely at them, moving the gun just so she could be sure. “Yes, there it is, his little penis.” She chuckled. “Teeny tiny testicles starting to form right under here. That’s a boy alright.” She confirmed.

A boy. A little boy growing inside her. A little Andrew that would grow up to be big and strong and amazing just like his father. Another boy at the Hunt household, to be best friends with their dogs and T. A boy that would skateboard with his dad, that she’d teach yoga to, and they’d raise to be a feminist, a boy that respected all the girls and women in his life, a boy that would face his friends whenever they said something sexist, racist, disrespectful. A boy she knew her father would have loved to see and play with, and that Andrew’s father would be proud of, knowing his first born had raised an amazing man to change the world. The boy she had seen in her dreams so many times since she had found out she was pregnant. A boy she would raise to be different than every jerk that had ever crossed her path.

Ava looked up at Andrew, tears rolling down her cheeks. “A boy.” She grinned, letting go of his hand only to wrap her arm around his waist. “We’re having a boy, babe, a mini you.” She laughed, pressing her head against his chest, allowing herself to cry. They could finally name their child, and there was no “it”s anymore. It was now a “he”, a “him”, their son. A son. She couldn’t believe it, they were having a son. She was going to be a mother to a little boy, a man. 

“A perfect little boy.” The doctor added, still moving the thing around a bit and taking the screen shots to give to them. “Perfect formation here, he is developing beautifully. Whatever you have been doing with your eating habits, Ava, it’s working wonders. And he’ll be a big one, his legs are already much longer than they usually are at this stage.” The doctor announced, setting the gun aside and helping Ava clean the gel off her skin. “Which we could predict, considering you both got legs for days.” She joked. “I’m going to go print the ultrasound and give you two some time alone, ok? Be right back.” The woman patted Ava’s leg. “Congratulations on your little boy.” She told them both before she exited the room.

“A boy.” Ava repeated, holding tighter onto Andrew, allowing herself to simply cry and cry loudly. Everything about that was unbelievable. A perfectly human child growing inside someone that had once hurt her own body so much. Two people that never dreamed of being parents now excited about it, having a boy! Sometimes Ava wondered if she deserved it, that miracle, that responsibility. And then she looked at Andrew and new, the universe had never given her something she couldn’t handle, something she didn’t cherish and fight for, like she did his love. “A little boy, babe.” She grinned between her tears, pushing her top down and sitting up, turning to face Andrew and wrap both arms around him while she wasn’t big enough to do so. “We have a son.” She whispered, looking into his eyes, those big blue eyes she knew their baby would have too.

Ava truly had no particular preference on the gender of their baby, and how could she, when only a few months ago their preference would be to just not be pregnant? What she did have was an absurd amount of curiosity, if only so she could picture more and more perfectly how their kid would be like. And for the next few weeks after that amazing night with their friends, her curiosity ate her up. Ava was even dreaming about it, about the appointment when they’d find out if the next Hunt to exist in the world would be a little Andrew or a little Ava. 

Some night the baby was a girl, sometimes it was born a puppy, one time it was a lizard. Most of the time, though, it was a boy, and she had the same dream a few times, that they’d look at the monitor and the baby would be a perfect little copy of Andrew, adult Andrew, only as a baby, which was kind of creepy. But the app did warn her that she would be having weird dreams. Damn that app. Vivian had told her it was terrifyingly accurate and she hadn’t believed her, but now she was proven wrong every week when the app predicted the exact new symptoms she started noticing as she moved further along into that pregnancy. Little baby Hunt was doing everything by the book too, growing steady and big just as the app predicted. 

Ava moved her feet anxiously as she laid back on the slab, waiting for her doctor to come into the room. “Last night I dreamed that the baby had two heads.” She told Andrew, squeezing his hand over and over again, feeling that anxiety she hated feeling, but she knew it would go away the minute the doctor said anything about the baby’s gender. “One puppy head, one kitten head. And they were both blonde, like... Like Andy. The cat was yellow too, full on yellow.” She shuddered, looking down at the bump that had grown considerably in the past weeks. It still shook her, to think there was a person in there. Even if she knew that little person only had one very human head. “You’ll owe me some mother’s day cards just because of those dreams.” She told their kid. The app had also said the baby now was able to hear them and they had started talking to it more and more lately.

The doctor stepped in with her usual smile, holding Ava’s chart in hand and that pregnancy little card thing with all the information of her stages, anything any other doctors would need to know if she felt ill. “Ready to find out if you’re having a baby boy or a baby girl, Hunts?” She greeted them just like that, putting everything down on her desk and moving closer to Ava, taking a seat on the stool next to the slab and already pulling that ultrasound gun, gesturing for Ava to lift her top.

“Oh, we better. I did all the tricks every mother I know had told me to do so the baby will be moving its legs and we’ll be able to see.” Ava nodded firmly, pushing her top up to her breasts with her free hand and pulling Andrew closer too, feeling more and more anxious by the minute.

Callie took the picture from Colin and gasped loudly, immediately pushing herself up and launching herself towards Ava, giving her a hug (as best as she could, with her belly on the way). “Aaaah, I can’t believe it, this is incredible!” She shook a laughing Ava in her arms. 

“It’s an ultrasound, pucci.” Vivian told Wes, gently touching his arm so he could feel the picture in her hand. “Oh, this is amazing, you two, I swear I had a dream about it the other day, didn’t I?” She urged Wes to confirm her words, Danny reaching out to get the picture. “Look, amore mio, you have another best friend on the way.” She showed him the picture and Danny looked with wide eyes, most definitely having no idea what he was looking at bu still amazed by the imaged, grabbing the picture and bringing it close to his eyes. “It’s a baby, my love.” Viv told him.

“Baby?” He asked, confused, and his mother nodded.

“In Aunt Ava’s belly.” She pointed just as Callie was letting Ava go and hugging Andrew now. 

Ava touched her stomach, showing the bump to Danny and he grinned.

“Baby!” He cheered, wiggling the picture in the air and waving it like a flag.

Ava chuckled, nodding at Colin. “It is great news.” She couldn’t believe it, but it was, they were genuinely happy about it, about a child. She held her hands over the belly for a moment, taking a deep breath like she was channeling all the love they were receiving from their best friends into their baby. That kid would be loved beyond words, she knew it. It would grow up with a huge and accountable support system and she couldn’t ask for anything else. “Yeah, we just wanted to be sure everything was okay. And also take some time to process everything as best as we could before we shared with everyone. It was a huge surprise, so we needed some time to understand what was going on.” She admitted with a small, shy smile.

Vivian stood up, going to her and giving her a hug that Ava could feel in her soul almost. A hug of someone that knew what Ava had been through, that knew how motherhood could change the life of a woman, and also someone that believed Ava would be the best mother in the world. “Thank you for sharing this with us.” She whispered in Ava’s ear and Ava held her back tight, eyes filling with tears ever so quickly like it seemed to happen too often these days. “Anything you need, any help, just a conversation, anything at all, you can call us, ok? Both of you.” Vivian said, reaching out to give Andrew’s hand a supportive squeeze. “Danny grows out of his things so quickly, I have a million things he barely even touched that you can take if you want.” She assured them.

“Thank you, thank you so much.” Ava grinned, drying her tears when Viv kissed her cheek and went back to seat next to Wes, behind him on the touch, Danny climbing on his father’s shoulders to get to her and hug her. “I’ll take an iced tea.” Ava told Colin, stepping back to take a seat on one of the big lounging chairs, patting it so Andrew could come join her.

“Yes, yes, tell us everything.” Callie was jumping, excitedly, going back to her place on the couch. “God, I can’t believe it. I mean, I can actually. That day we were talking about it and you said you’d be okay if you two had a baby.” She pointed out.

Ava looked at Andrew and smiled. It was true, she would be okay because she knew the baby would be his, just like she had been when they lost their child years ago, even if it had been painful. “Well, I actually passed out.” Ava began telling him, snorting. “I had no idea, I mean, it truly is a miracle baby. Because of the move and forcing myself too much, apparently my IUD moved barely an inch. Valentine’s Day happened and then a month later I passed out teaching a yoga class at the firehouse.” Ava told them, taking Andrew’s hand in hers and giving it a squeeze. “We actually thought the doctor was pranking us.” She admitted. “But then she did an ultrasound and there it was, that little dot.”

“The most beautiful little dot in the world.” Callie said, sighing, dropping her head on Colin’s shoulder when he was coming back to seat with her, having handed all the drinks. 

“It was. Just a little dot but I don’t know... It’s so odd to think that dot is now a person. It has legs already.” She pointed at the ultrasound Danny was still playing with, trailing the baby’s spine with his fingertip. “I freaked out. Andrew was washed over by the peace of the universe.” She laughed, gently nudging him. “And with the odds of it, it just felt like it was meant to be. How many kids happen out of the same situation, you know? Barely an inch and still, it went through, found the right place and here I am, swelling more and more daily.” She grinned, sipping from her tea.

firehunters​:

Ava looked at Andrew a bit dumbfounded for a second. He was right, even that had worked out perfectly, they had the extra room without even having been looking for a baby room. It was just there, waiting for the little human growing in her womb, they wouldn’t have to worry about moving again or something like that. And they were still working on decorating and getting settled, they wouldn’t even have to change an entire section of their house later to welcome the baby, they could just do the baby room while they did the rest of the spaces. She let her lips curl in a loving smile, leaning against him almost involuntarily. “The universe really wanted us to reproduce, huh?” She teased, gently pinching his arm and giving his chest a soft kiss before Vivian was opening up for them and they walking into the building. 

“Sure, go ahead, most people don’t even ask.” Callie snorted when Wesley so gentlemanly touched her swollen stomach, Athena possibly asleep in there since she wasn’t kicking much, which she usually did. 

“You were, and mama was as big as a balloon.” Vivian held her arms on a round shape around her body, smiling from ear to ear when Danny laughed out loud, throwing his little arms around Poe’s neck and half laying on Wesley’s lap with the dog, those two attached to their father at the hip as always. It filled her heart with love, to see her family smiling, happy, lounging on their rooftop and having friends over, something that would rarely be happening if they hadn’t come to New York two years ago. And Danny was growing so fast, such an intelligent boy. He looked more and more like his father every day and Vivian couldn’t be prouder. 

Callie sighed, feeling her heart squeeze in her chest and looking back at Vivian, eyes filling with tears, those pregnancy hormones hitting her harder by the minute. “I cannot wait to see my little girl with Colin.” She said, pressing her lids gently not to burst into tears. 

Ava smiled when Colin opened the door, the smell of the food instantly reaching her nose and making her hungry as a lioness. She could swear the baby was hungry too, that her stomach was growling and everyone could hear, though she knew she was probably wrong about that. “Hi, Colin!” She greeted, eyes widening at his wording and she glanced at Andrew. Did they already know? Did everyone know? She waved off those thoughts and walked in, nodding along at Andrew’s comment. “It does, it smells like an actually pizza place, it’s amazing.” She agreed, hugging Colin back and rubbing his back gently as he kissed her cheek. “Oh, did she make the sauce? I love her sauce.”

“It is my sauce.” Vivian heard the question and smiled at the couple and Colin coming out just as she was finishing up the table setting. “Hi, beautiful.” Viv went over to hug Ava and the blonde hugged her back tight. It felt like they hadn’t seen each other in a million years, even though they had met not long ago. “Love the dress.” Vivian said sincerely.

“Love yours too, I always love your clothes.” Ava teased, though it was true, Vivian had a natural elegance about her that was hard to achieve. Ava moved over to greet Callie, bending down to plant a kiss on top of her head. “You look incredible, this girl is doing wonders to your skin.” Ava pointed out, hoping her own pregnancy was doing the same to hers, Callie looked like a fairy in her skirt and silky top, her bright red hair cascading around her shoulders. 

“I know, she’s a blessing.” Callie teased, leaning back to smile at her friend and then chuckling at Andrew’s comment. “Hi, Andrew. She’s really making herself known, isn’t she?” She grinned, rubbing her round belly.

Ava moved over to greet Wes, reaching down to plant a kiss on his cheek and then one on Danny’s head. “You two look like twins, separated by a few years.” She laughed, Danny blowing her a loud kiss. “Hi, Poe, hello.” Ava scratched his chin for a moment, loving the way he closed his eyes for it just like Andy, his father, did. “It all does look amazing.” Ava stood up again, dropping her purse on one of the chairs and looking around. The view was mesmerizing, and the set up, the lights, the pizza oven, everything was so very Vivian and Wes. She could only hope everyone would heel that welcome at their place. She looked at Colin when he asked his question and then grinned at Andrew. No more hiding, she thought, reaching for the envelopes in her purse and then handing one to Colin, who was closer to her, and one to Viv. “We’ve been tricked by the universe.” She snorted. “We have some news. A bit visual there, sorry about that Wes, but I’ll let your wife’s reaction be your hint.”

Vivian frowned, a bit confused, pulling back from Andrew’s hug and moving closer to her husband, opening up the envelope. The moment she pulled out just the edge of the picture she was gasping, covering her mouth with her hand. “I knew it!” She laughed. “I knew it, I had a dream about it!”

firehunters​:

Watching Andrew around babies had always shaken something up inside Ava’s heart, but ever since finding out she was expecting his baby, it had gotten a lot more pronounced. She couldn’t help the skipped beat in her heart when Andrew was smiling at Tony and letting the baby hold his hand and then when Sean passed Matt on to him, Ava held her breath without even noticing. Other people’s babies were still uncertain grounds for the both of them, but she couldn’t wait to see Andrew with their own child, holding the baby, taking care of it like he took such good care of Ava and everyone he loved. She reached out a hand and gently pinched his arm, smiling up at him when Matt was grabbing his nose. 

“It’s hard to resist it, isn’t it?” Jenna grinned at her, tilting her head towards Andrew and her son. “First time I saw Sean with both of them in his arms I thought my heart was going to explode.” She said, resting her head on her husband’s shoulder and squeezing him in her embrace.

“Yeah, nature is a crazy thing.” Ava chuckled, looking up at Andrew. She loved that man so damn much, it was surreal. But she knew only a love like that would produce a miracle child like theirs, and with their love they would raise that child right, just like their parents had done with them. She chuckled at Sean’s shark comparison and shrugged, passing Tony back to Jenna after kissing his cheek. “Seeing it’s us, I might be growing an actual baby shark within me, and this baby it’s definitely taking swimming lessons since day one. It is a Hunt, after all.” She smiled proudly, rubbing little Tony’s back and smiling when he finally let go of her hair. “Thanks, buddy.” 

“Listen, you two let us know if you need anything, ok? You are amazing godparents, let us be helpful like you were during the pregnancy and still are.” Jenna insisted, pointing a finger at both of them. “And don’t buy anything yet, we got a bunch of doubles on the baby shower because it’s two of them, but end up using only one, so let me list what we have and we’ll just pass it on to you.”

“Thank you, we definitely appreciate that.” Ava nodded avidly. “Anything we can get instead of buy, we’re taking it.”

“Are we allowed to start buying present, though?” Jenna gave her a cheeky grin.

“No, no, you’re already saying you’ll give us a bunch of stuff.” Ava shook her head.

“Not even shark themed presents?” Jenna arched an eyebrow and Ava made a face, trying to hold back a smile.

“Fine, shark themed things we’ll allow.” She gave up, shaking her head at her friend and giving her a side hug, kissing her cheek. “You two want to have lunch tomorrow? We can talk baby stuff and eat because that’s all I’ve been doing.” She admitted with a snort.

“Yeah, I’ll give you a call tomorrow morning.” Jenna kissed her cheek back and went on to give Andrew a hug while Ava was hugging Sean goodbye. “You’re still grumpy, but I do love you and I’m glad this is happening for you two.” Jenna said to Andrew as she pulled back. “Take good care of my sister and my nephew or niece.” She gave him a menacing look and Ava rolled her eyes, looking up at Sean. 

“How do you survive in a house with her, two babies and two dogs?” She teased, patting his arm before she was moving closer to Andrew and taking his hand. “We’ll see you two tomorrow then.”

“Oh, it will be the happiest baby, I’m sure. It’ll have two best friends right off the bat. Three, with your baby niece too.” Jenna reminded them, leaning baby Tony closer to Ava when his attention was caught by the blonde hair. “Ugh, looking at baby things is so much fun, it’s hard not to buy every little thing. If you two are having a girl, you’ll go insane with the little clothes.” She said with a smile on her lips.

Ava chuckled, picking up Tony when he launched himself in her direction and holding him close to her. “Your mom already wants to give you a baby sister.” Ava whispered to the baby, still a bit unsure if she was holding him correctly but she was gaining more practice with all those babies in their lives now. “No more surprises, God forbid. The minute we can find out, I want to know to be fully prepared. Or as best as possible, we know nobody is every ready.” She pointed out.

“Nobody is ever ready.” Jenna wrapped an arm around Sean, her other hand gently rubbing up and down Matt’s back. “But it’s like Sean said, something about you two... You’re both caring, selfless. You take great care of us without even noticing.” She smiled at them, Ava smiling back while Tony tried to eat her hair, amazed by the golden colors. “But it is, it’s instinctual, it will kick in sooner than you expect.” She reassured them.

“Andrew thinks it kicked in for me the moment I passed out that day.” Ava chuckled. “That my body was already telling me it was time to take better care of myself.” She smiled up at him, rocking Tony gently and letting him reach his hair-free hand to touch Andrew’s arm, eyes wide with how much there was for him to look. Matt was still hypnotized by the ultrasound, smiling his toothless smile. “That’s what the dogs are good for, they’ll be the nanies, like the one in Peter Pan.” Ava teased, giving Tony’s cheek a kiss. 

Jenna laughed wholeheartedly when Andrew said he was ready for the birth. “You are so not. It’s completely different.” She nodded, pointing at Sean. “This one almost passed out. The moment Ava starts screaming and you see your wife in that much pain, all that blood, the head popping out... All your training is gone.” She chuckled, ignoring Ava’s disgusted face.

“Thanks, you’re making it sound beautiful, the miracle of birth.” Ava looked at Andrew with wide, terrified eyes. “We’ll take all the classes we can. I’m already adapting my yoga practice to help with birth preparing and everything.” 

.

firehunters​:

“This is incredible.” Jenna squeezed Ava in her arms and then pulled back just a bit. “I knew it, you’re glowing even more than you already do and I could see that belly, that was not just food.” She insisted, looking down but knowing better than to touch Ava’s stomach without asking. As intrusive as Jenna could be sometimes, she knew Ava almost as well as Andrew. Ava knew what she wanted though and she smoothed down the dress over the little bump forming on her stomach, making Jenna squeal. “I’m so happy, oh God.” Jenna laughed, giving Andrew’s arm a tight squeeze. “I can’t believe it, McGrumpers, you really did it, you gave her everything.” She provoked, pulling back and rocking Tony in her arms as he laughed.

Ava shook her head, laughing lightly, and hugged Andrew’s back when he wrapped his arm around her. She gave him a thankful smile, wiping the tears away with the back of her hand. “Yeah, we just wanted to wait until everything was out of risk, after everything...” She didn’t need to mention the miscarriage to Sean and Jenna of all people. “So we’re being careful and also trying to learn as much as we can on our own. I feel like if this happened after we were so adamant on not having kids, it’s a sign.” She nodded.

“It definitely is.” Jenna nodded along avidly, reaching out to gently brush Matt’s hair back and away from his eyes, such a natural motherly move that Ava felt her heart squeezing in her chest, wondering if she’d ever have that same instinct. “How in the world did that even happen?” She asked, looking confused now.

“I don’t know.” Ava shrugged. “We think my IUD moved out of place during the exertion of moving and carrying the boxes. Then Valentine’s Day happened.” She added with a cheeky grin. “Baby Hunt will be born with an IUD stuck to their head.” She chuckled.

“Hear that, boys? Baby Hunt!” Jenna cooed at them, kissing both their cheeks. “You have a best friend on the way.” She smiled widely at them and they just mimicked the motion, not even sure why they were smiling, surely. “Seriously, anything you need, let us know. I’m definitely helping you with the baby shower, planning, decorations, everything.” Jenna was already in her duties as godmother, just as Ava had been for her, in the best way she can. 

“Thank you, we appreciate it.” Ava smiled, leaning in even more into Andrew’s hug. “It’s just one, just one and more than enough.” She assured them with a nervous look in her eyes. “And now that you two already know, don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated on gender, baby shower, names, everything Baby Hunt related.” She smiled at them. It was actually quite nice having told them now, having more people celebrating this insane moment of their lives. 

“Are you prepared for how big this baby is going to be?” Jenna was looking at the ultrasound more closely now, Tony trying to grab it from Sean’s hand and then Matt joining. 

“Not in the slightest.” Ava admitted without hesitation, shaking her head. “I’m also not thinking about it for another month on my birth plan so it will all be fine. Let’s hope they’re born tiny and wait to grow into their father’s height after they’re at least two.” She patted her stomach like giving the baby a hint there.

firehunters​:

Ava squeezed Andrew’s hand tightly when Sean left the room. The more people they told about this pregnancy, the more real it became. Not that it wasn’t real, she knew just how real it was as she saw and felt her body change, but still, it was still surreal and bizarre to them that this was happening. That they were having a child, becoming parents, the two of them of all people. She pressed her cheek against Andrew’s arm for a moment, hearing all the commotion of Jenna’s presence and the twins coming along, babbling already. Of course Jenna’s kids would start babbling sooner than any other baby in the world, they’d be chatterboxes since day one. She wondered what would their baby be like, and she did every time she saw the twins. 

Truth was, it had been hard as all hell to keep that pregnancy a secret now that they had so many babies around them. Every time she saw the twins, little Jojo or Danny, she felt this weird swirl of emotions inside her and this massive urge to just see that little one growing inside her, to find out if the baby would look like her or Andrew, how their hair would be, their eyes. Ava had never been the biggest fan of babies and she still felt a little lost around them, even though they had gotten a bit more used to them since Danny was now almost two years old. And for some reason, ever since getting pregnant she had become a lot more aware of which twin was which as well, even though they still looked exactly the same.

Jenna walked in with Tony in her arms and a devious smile on her lips like she knew exactly what was about to happen. “Say hola, tia Ava, hola tio Andrew.” Jenna cooed at the boys, waving her hand to see if they mimicked the gesture but they babbled and giggled, eyes wide looking at Ava and Andrew like they always were, seeing people that not their parents. “They have a secret to tell us.” Jenna whispered in Tony’s ear even though everyone could hear her.

“It’s not a secret.” Ava squinted her eyes at Jenna, reaching out to playfully tug on Tony’s little feet and then Matt’s, smiling when they both giggled. She looked up at Andrew as he looked at her and took a deep breath, looking back at the couple in front of them. “Alright, we actually wanted to share this a lot more dramatically, as you both deserved, with presents and a bunch of fancy shit.” Ava arched an eyebrow at them. “But since you’re both in the wrong profession and should be FBI agents, we decided to just tell you before you have a stroke.” 

“Just tell us!” Jenna insisted, shaking on her feet and bringing Tony with her, the baby laughing excitedly as he moved in his mother’s arms. 

Ava reached inside her purse and grabbed one of the envelopes with the ultrasound, removing the picture from inside and showing it to them with a smile on her lips. She couldn’t help it now, feeling excited as she told them, the two people that had rooted for hers and Andrew’s love since the beginning, even Jenna when she still wasn’t a fan of Andrew. Jenna looked at the picture and screamed, her eyes instantly filling with tears.

“I knew it! I knew it!” She yelled, laughing excitedly, kissing baby Tony while the boy’s giggles filled the room, his brother soon following even though he looked confused.

“Yes, you knew it.” Ava chuckled, shaking her head. “We’re very pregnant, I’m three months in.” She finally said it out loud, smiling at Andrew and then back at the two. “We have no idea how it happened, it’s a miracle baby for sure. But we decided to keep it, we’re having this baby, we’re doing this.” She said as she handed the picture to Sean while Jenna still danced around with Tony. “And we wanted you two to be the godparents.” She added.

“Oh my God.” Jenna gasped, stopping and instantly pulling Ava into a one arm hug, Tony coming along and holding on to Ava’s hair right away as she was squeezed between him and his mom. “I’m so happy for you two, oh my God, girl!” Jenna held her tight and Ava held her back, closing her eyes. Only the two of them knew what they had been through together since they met, how neither of them thought they’d ever be where they were right now, how much that moment meant to them. “I love you so much.” Jenna whispered to her and Ava held her tighter.

“I love you too.” Ava whispered back, those hormones kicking in and filling her eyes with thick tears she fought to hold back.
