Ryan glanced at his watch.

6 am.

Not that time mattered much here, but when all was said and done, he was still a creature of habit, and the best part of twenty years in the military made it hard for him to linger in bed, especially when the sun was shining, streaming in through the huge glass windows that made up one entire side of the bedroom.

A half hour run round the grounds and two hundred press ups later, Stephen Hart started to show signs of waking up.

Ryan dragged the duvet off him and dumped it on the floor. “Get your arse out of bed, you lazy bugger. I fancy a swim and a shag, in that order.”

Stephen groaned and rolled onto his back. “I fancy an ice cream. Have we got any?”

Ryan’s eyes narrowed. “We have, and you’re not eating it for breakfast. You’re getting a pot belly, Hart, now get out of that bed, before I drag you out ……….”

Stephen sat up abruptly, then made a mad dash for the bathroom.

Ryan grimaced as the sound of retching followed almost immediately.

They’d eaten the same food yesterday and the curry had seemed all right but ………… he shrugged and went to fetch a glass of water and a wet cloth.

* * * * *

The Duty Manager wriggled uncomfortably in her seat and flicked onto a different CCTV screen. Watching one of the residents throwing up wasn’t her idea of a good time. She might be kinky, but she wasn’t weird. Maybe she needed to check what the catering staff had been up to …………

A sudden and even more uncomfortable thought stuck her and she pressed a few buttons to bring up the Writing Logs.

OhGodOhShitOhGodOhShit

This couldn’t be happening, no way, not on her watch. She was still under a warning from the vampire sketch and she couldn’t afford to blot her copybook again, not without being at risk of having her shifts cut.

Her hand hovered uncertainly over the red Panic Button.

* * * * *

“You need to do more exercise,” commented Ryan, staring in disgust at Stephen’s gently rounded belly.

* * * * *

The Panic Alarm sounded.

There was no way the Duty Manager was taking the blame for this one. No way. This was definitely not one of her kinks. Fangs maybe. Master/Slave stuff? Well, yeah, who wasn’t into that, but this ………..? Oh no, she wasn’t holding her hands up to this one. Not bloody guilty, m’lud. Not this time.

Senior Management came into the Control Room at a run. “What’s the matter now?” she gasped. “Don’t tell me those idiots in Maintenance have let them run out of beer again?”

The Duty Manager shook her head and gulped, pointing at the screen.

* * * * *

Stephen collapsed back onto the bed, rubbing one hand in small circles round his distended stomach. “Why can’t I have some ice cream?” he whined, petulantly.

“Because you’re too bloody fat already, look at you, for Christ’s sake, you’re getting fatter by the minute!”

“Got wind,” muttered Stephen, “that’s all. One good fart’ll sort me out ……..”

* * * * *

“How the fuck did this happen?” squeaked Senior Management, staring at the screen in mounting horror.

“Usual way, I suppose,” muttered the equally frantic Duty Manager. “Boy meets boy. Boy fucks boy. They get carried away in the heat of the moment. No precautions ……..you know.”

“No, I don’t bloody know! They’re men! They don’t need to take that sort of precaution, for God’s sake! This isn’t sodding Hogwarts!”

“Calm down, hon,” said the Duty Manager, using her patent talking to children and frightened animals voice. “The ladies will probably like it. I’m told it’s quite popular in some fandoms.”

“Quite popular? Quite popular! You’ll be suggesting they grow bloody wings next!”

A dreamy look passed quickly across the Duty Manager’s face and she tried to cover it up by feigning a sneeze. “OK, maybe they won’t like it. So what do we do?”

“Find out who wrote it and ban them before they do any more bloody damage!” Senior Management was panicking now, and didn’t care who knew it.

She knew the user info didn’t cover this sort of thing, and when push came to shove they’d probably get appealed if they came down too heavily on whoever was responsible, but hell, this was an Emergency with a capital E. They couldn’t afford to piss about. It was starting to look like a scene from Alien down there.

“And what about the ………” the Duty Manager was at a loss for words for once.

“Write it out!”

The Duty Manager looked scandalised. “We can’t do that! Look at him, he’s positively glowing ………. and he really liked that baby who paid a visit …………”

“Ryan didn’t!”

“It’ll be different when it’s his own.”

Senior Management’s shriek echoed down the corridors, bouncing off the white painted walls.

This place was going to the dogs, and when she caught whoever had pulled this stunt, she’d take phases like sweetly swelling mound and gently rounded belly and stick them where the sun didn’t shine.

She could feel one of her heads coming on.

She needed a gin.

A large one.

And cable ties.

You couldn’t go wrong with cable ties.

ROFL! I've had an absolute crap day, and this has given me the best laugh in ages. My large gin hit the laptop screen at some speed -- particularly at "this isn't sodding Hogwarts!" and "Look at him, he’s positively glowing"

Wonderful!

I started to laugh around the line about the curry, and before I got to the end I was positively weeping with laughter!

Oh god, I haven't laughed this hard in yonks.

This isn’t sodding Hogwarts!

Yep... who needs a baby in a basket when you can grow your own!

So, is Ryan going to need to perform a caesarian or is this going to be an assbaby... *veg*

"This isn’t sodding Hogwarts!”

ROTFLMAO!

And here was me all miserable about having to go to the late shift at work...

The duty manager's reaction to mpreg and babyfic is entirely in accord with mine.

Lmao. Pity you couldn't get Nick knocked up instead - can you *imagine* Cutter with pregnancy hormones?

And you know with pregnancy hormones and the comments Ryan keeps making Stephen's going to be in tears any second ...

I actually have two of my multifandom AUs that have mpreg (one is kind of high tech artificial wombs and created embryos using eggs from other mammals and a lot of fudged science and the other well hell it has human/animal hybrids a little bit of mpreg seemed 'normal' after that lol) but even though I'm adding Primeval to both of them it never even occurred to me to get Stephen pregnant. If I ever do feel like it ... I can blame you now ;)

LMAO! As soon as Stephen threw up I was like OMG No Way!!! Hahahaha! The poor Duty Manager, I loved her reaction, hee! Nice to see someone in Management who cares about the boys, LOL.
“Got wind,” muttered Stephen, “that’s all. One good fart’ll sort me out ……..” *sporfle*
Growing wings, LOL. Oh, just so much fun all round. Senior Management was fabulous :D 'one of her heads' LOL

LOL! Oh I haven't laughed so much for ages! Have only ever read mpreg once and it put me off reading anything of this sort EVER again...only...this was absolutely hilarious so I ignored the urge to run screaming.

Especially the lines, 'And cable ties. You couldn't go wrong with cable ties.' Quite correct.

*keeps chuckling*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghh!!!!

*runs away from mpreg* *Then falls over laughing.*

Poor Stephen. Poor Ryan. He really will be on strike again soon, I can see it coming.

Loved the duty manager panicking again, though.

And I thought I'd finally found a fandom that was safe from mpreg!!!!!!!

I don't want to be laughing, because I am utterly traumatised, and yet I can't help myself...

I may never forgive you for this! *g* Even in Sanctuary this kind of this just isn't allowed!!!!!

ROTFL. That was hysterical! So, should I start bombarding you with other unbelievably cheesy HP storylines? *evil grin* Because, you know, there's always the animagus thing...is that a ferret Ryan has in his pocket or if he just overly pleased to see Stephen?

ROFL This was hilarious, Joe is e-mailing me all good Primeval fics since my parents' connection can't survive LJ and I was about to keel over laughing :D
Now you got her to sign up for another challenge and if she writes mpreg and Lester on scary scary scary hormons it's all the Hound's fault :D +
As always ;)
