Jack eyes widened, his heart racing. Him and Pitch wore matching worried faces.
"What do you mean something's going on with the baby, North? I-Its okay right?" Jack asked as his hands covered his stomach protectively.
"Yes Jack. Its fine. But its growing faster than we thought. Its only been four weeks since the child was conceived correct?" Jack nodded. " Well, what we are seeing is a child that is three months along. And based on that information the child will be fully developed in three months." Jack sat there dumbfounded. Three months? Jack was terrified. He thought that he would have more time to come to grips with everything but... Three months? It was too soon. Jack just sat there unable to say anything due to shock.
"C-Can you give us a minute North?" Pitch asked. The large man nodded and left. "Jack." He said turning his lovers face to meet his. "I know how you must be feeling. Trust me I do. But I promise you everything will be okay. All right?"
"B-but... It's so soon. I don't think I'm ready..." Jack said as he slowly stroked his stomach. "I mean I know I'll have to be. But I thought I had more time...I mean I don't know anything about raising a child. And I don't think you know much on it either."
"You're right Jack. But look at all the friends we have that will help. We aren't alone, Jack" Jack managed a smile.
"Thanks Pitch." Jack said snuggling closer to Pitch. They laid together happily until North burst back into the room.
"I forgot to tell you the best part." He said, Bunny and Tooth following behind him. "We know the gender of the baby." He said holding up a folder. Jacks eyes lit up as he took the folder. Tooth and Bunny crowded around craning to see. Jack smiled tears coming to his eyes, Tooth smiled. Bunny started laughing.
"Pitch, mate, you lost." He said between his chuckles. Pitch's smile quickly turned into a pout.
"I told you!" Jack said triumphantly. Pitch playfully turned his back to Jack. "Now don't be like that... Daddy." Pitch blushed and covered his face hoping the Guardians wouldn't catch it. Jack placed his chin on Pitch's shoulder hand pulled his hands away. "Get used to it. I get to call you that all week." Jack chuckled. Pitch just huffed in reply. "Hey you were the one who made the bet in the first place so don't be all huffy with me."
"So did you two come up with any ideas for names?" Tooth asked.
"Of course. In fact we already have a name picked out." Jack said placing a finger to his lips. "But it's a secret." he winked.
"Awww. Your no fun." Jack turned to look at her.
"Did you just call the Guardian of Fun no fun?" he asked laughing.
"Yes I did." She pouted. Jack chuckled again and snuggled up to Pitch. The entire group just stayed and chatted for a while and soon enough one by one all the others left.

Month 2

Jack was still trying to figure out whether or not being pregnant sucked. He hated the random headaches and the persistent backache. But every time those came around Pitch was there doing whatever he could to make Jack feel comfortable. He decided the worst part was morning sickness. He hated how when he was trying to cuddle with Pitch or talking to some of the others all of a sudden he's have to get up and run into the bathroom. But even then Pith would be there, gently massaging Jacks back. And Jack had to admit there were good things about it too. Everyone was really understanding. Like when he had random mood swings and started snapping at everybody they were quick to forgive him. And whenever he randomly started craving something they all did their best to try to get it for him. Jack loved it when he could feel the baby kick. Every time he felt it he would smile and rub his stomach. It was the best part about it. However Jack decided in the end that it sucked. The good and the bad just made for a roller coaster ride that Jack couldn't wait to get off of.

Month 3

Pitch was pretty much a nervous wreck at this point. Jack was nervous too but nowhere near the extent that Pitch was. Everywhere Jack went Pitch would be right behind him. Not that Jack minded this in the least, though he did wish he could find a way to calm him Jack did seemed to help.
Three weeks into the month North had decided to check over Jack and the baby to make sure everything was ok since it was so close to the due date. Well it turned out that things weren't going quite as planned.
"The child's growth rate seems to have slowed." He said. "And it looks like it will keep slowing. The child will not be born until next month." Jack moaned inwardly. He was so ready to see his baby.
"However this is not entirely a bad thing." North said. "If the child kept growing at its original growth rate it would be full grown in six years. But now the child will grow normally and you can enjoy many years with it." Jack smiled at that turning to look at pitch who looked tired from all the worrying he was doing.
"You are just full of surprises little one." Pitch said smiling and stroking Jacks protruding stomach. "I cant wait to see you though."

Month 4

"Why don't we go for a walk?" Jack asked. Him and Pitch were kind of bored and trying to figure out what to do. Pitch pondered for a moment.
"That seems like a nice idea." Pitch helped jack get out of the bed. Jack had been unable to sit up himself for a while due to his stomach being in the way. They meandered aimlessly throughout North's workshop just enjoying each others company. However it wasn't long before they realized they had gotten themselves lost in the vast space that was the workshop. They kept wandering, hoping to find someplace that looked familiar, when suddenly Jack cried out in pain. He fell onto his hand and knees, a protective arm covering his stomach.
"Jack! Are you ok?" Pitch asked worry written all over his face. "What's wrong?" Jack was panting hard so it was hard to answer.
"Th... the baby... It-It's coming." Jack managed to choke out. Pitch's eyes widened. This wasn't good. they were lost somewhere in this labyrinth and the baby had to come now? He didn't know what to do. He just hovered protectively over Jack looking to see if there was anyone, anyone there that could help. There was no one. Jack cried out again, barely managing to keep himself from falling, as another bout of pain coursed through his body. Pitch did the only thing he could think of. Scooping Jack in his arms and holding him tight he ran through the corridors trying to find anyone that be able to help, even if it was a yeti. Pitch turned a random corner and by sheer luck North wasn't far away.
"NORTH!" He yelled running to catch up to him. Panting very badly, he tried to explain. "N-North... the baby. It's-" Pitch was interrupted by another sharp cry of pain from Jack. North's eyes widened and he scooped Jack out of Pitches arms and together they ran to the infirmary, North telling random yetis to find Bunny and Tooth. as soon as they reached the infirmary they all prepared Jack for delivery. They numbed him and put a curtain around him, preparing to perform the cesarean section that was necessary to deliver the child.
"P-Pitch... I-I'm scared." Pitch grabbed a hold of his hand and smoothed Jack's sweat-soaked hair out of his face.
"It'll be ok Jack. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." Pitch continued talking to Jack, reassuring him and comforting him, until finally, after the longest hour ever, it was over. North handed Jack a tine little bundle containing his child. Jack held it close, smiling.
"Look, Pitch..." He said gently stoking his fingers down the newborns cheek. "She's so beautiful." Pitch melted at the sight of his daughter. She had electric green eyes, pale white skin, and soft deep black hair. Tooth fluttered slightly above them.
"What's her name?" She asked just and Bunny and North stepped around to look at the youngling.
"Cherny Quinulis." Jack and Pitch said together.
"What a beautiful name." Tooth replied.
"It took us forever to find a name that would fit. We figured out that this was best."
"What do you mean?" Bunny asked.
"We wanted a name that would fit not only her but the miracle she was. The meaning of this name was perfect."
"What does it mean" North asked. Jack and Pitch linked hands, looked at each other and then back to their daughter.
"Black Ice."

Thanks so much to all of you who followed/ faved this. It means a lot to me. And yes her name does really mean Black Ice. It uses two different languages but it does. Anyway there *might* be an epilogue if I can get some idea of how to go about it. Anyway. Thanks again, so much. I'm not sure i could have kept going it it wasn't for my fans. ^^
