George was finally discharged a few hours later. Elliot helped him to the car, which was thankfully air conditioned- George had been feeling extremely sensitive to heat the last few days.

"I can't wait to tell everyone," Elliot said happily as he started the car.

"Elliot..." George sighed softly, biting his lip. "I know you want to tell everyone, but I really just..."

"Well, let's wait until the news story airs, at least," Elliot said. "Then we can decide who to tell, or not. I think we should tell the kids, but no one else needs to know for a while."

"I can live with that," George said, nodding. "I'm just worried at how they'll react. It's hard enough for them to accept our relationship as it is. Then when they find out I'm a pregnant man... for one, that'll make them see me differently, and then once the baby itself arrives, it'll complicate things much further. Even if they are older, they'll still feel replaced and neglected."

"We'll work past it," Elliot said confidently. "We'll work it out so that the kids will be okay with our relationship and you being pregnant, and we'll be able to enjoy having a baby of our own. If I was with a woman and we were having a child, they'd be upset but they'd get over it eventually, and that's what'll happen with you. They need to just learn to accept it already."

"Yeah," George said, nodding. "They will soon, I think."

"I think so too. Things will be much easier once that happens," Elliot said.

George nodded again and rubbed his stomach absently, thinking about what was to come. The weight gain would be unpleasant, to say the least. But on the other hand, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, if he had Elliot's support. And he was warming up to the idea of having a baby and raising it. Elliot loved kids, and this was already making him so happy, and seeing Elliot happy made George happy, too.

George sighed softly, looking at his stomach- except it wasn't just his stomach, anymore. He was sharing it.

He wondered if this was how all the other men had felt when the doctors had told them the same thing, if they'd felt just as upset and alienated from their lovers, if they'd felt like they had been living some sort of lie.

Maybe there would be enough pregnant men for there to be a support group of some kind, George thought. That would help things a lot, though the idea that there was a baby in his stomach bothered him less by the minute. He'd be able to work through all his issues, and it would be worth it to have a baby of his own. But having someone else to talk to, who was in his situation, definitely wouldn't hurt.

He rested his head on Elliot's shoulder, sighing softly and closing his eyes. Elliot smiled and took a hand off the steering wheel to stroke his hair.

They arrived at the house a few minutes later. It was mid-afternoon, so everyone was parked in front of the air conditioner when they walked in.

"We're home!" Elliot called.

"Hey," Kathleen said.

"How are you guys?" Elliot asked, sitting down on the sofa.

"We're fine," Lizzie replied.

"Hungry," Dickie added.

"I'll see if I can make something," Elliot said, standing up. He kissed George on the lips quickly before departing.

George looked at Elliot's kids, and he could see the irritated expression on their faces. He knew they were angry at being reminded that he and Elliot were actually together, not just roommates like they had said for the first few months they'd been together.

He sighed inwardly. It was already looking like making a connection with them would be almost impossible. And then he'd have to tell them that he and Elliot were having a baby together, that he was a pregnant man...

"So, what did you do today?" George asked, clearing his throat awkwardly.

"Nothing. We waited for you to get home," Kathleen said, shrugging.

None of them had asked if he was okay, George thought sadly. But then again, if he was home already, it went without saying that he was healthy.

George sighed inwardly; he had always had trouble communicating with Elliot's kids, and he didn't know how to start a conversation with them.

Fortunately, Elliot walked in at that moment. "I made some sandwiches," He announced.

George smiled and grabbed one from him. He took a few bites, but then the nausea returned.

"Um- I'll be right back-" He stammered, running towards the bathroom. He leaned over the toilet and vomited, clutching his stomach.

Elliot came in, carrying the anti-nausea medicine the hospital had prescribed. "Take this, and I'll make you some tea," Elliot said.

George nodded and swallowed the pills shakily. He leaned against Elliot, who half guided, half carried him to the bedroom. Elliot eased him onto the bed and kissed his forehead before walking back to the kitchen.

George was almost asleep by the time Elliot returned with the tea. He yawned and sat up to drink it, smiling softly as Elliot pulled him into a tight embrace.

"Are you okay?" Elliot asked, stroking George's stomach.

George smiled again and said, "Yeah, I am."

He leaned back as Elliot continued to rub his stomach. It would feel a lot different once his stomach was big and round, George thought with a sigh.

"So, we should really start to work on your relationship with the kids," Elliot said softly.

George nodded. "I don't think they like me much, but they may warm up to me eventually."

"They'd better," Elliot grumbled. "They need to understand that I love you, and even though Kathy is still their mom, I'm with you, not her. They need to realize that they don't need to accept you as a father, but they do need to accept that you're part of their lives and mine."

"Hopefully the baby won't set that back," George said with a sigh. "It might bother them more than anything."

"Well, they'll get over it," Elliot said.

George nodded and decided to change the subject, at least partially. He set his tea to the side and asked, "What do you think that news story is going to be like? And do you think people will believe it?"

"I think it'll be a little weird, but still, people will believe it," Elliot replied.

George nodded again. "That's what I think, too. I'm not looking forward to telling people, though."

"Bu-uuut," Elliot said, shifting to kiss George's stomach, "Think about when you get a giant tummy. And then we'll have our baby..."

"Just that easy, huh?" George asked, teasingly. The fact that he felt able to joke about it was a good sign, he knew; it meant he was beginning to accept it.

"Yep. Aside from you being so hormonal you make a dragon look friendly, and you craving the strangest combination of foods imaginable, of course," Elliot replied.

"And you promise not to tease me once I get fat?" George asked. Elliot rested his head on George's chest, and George smiled softly, stroking the other man's hair.

"I won't tease, as long as I get to pet it and talk to the baby a lot," Elliot vowed.

George laughed softly, and enjoyed the feeling for a few moments. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all, he thought.

Suddenly feeling much more lighthearted, he tugged Elliot upwards and said, smirking, "Hey, I want to cash in on that plan you had to cheer me up."

"But you don't need it now," Elliot said innocently.

"I think I'm having my first craving. But it's for you," George said.

"Well, in that case, how can I resist?" Elliot asked, grinning. He shifted upwards and pulled George into a deep, passionate kiss.

With his lover so thoroughly excited, happy, and playful, George found his worry slipping away completely. Things would work out fine, he decided. He'd get annoyed occasionally, but this would be worth it.
