The Problems with Marrying a Manakete

Pregnancy is meant to be a wonderful experience.

"Nowi! Stop!"

"Come on Robin! Why can't I?"

For the baby.

When women enter their nine months of growing another life inside of them; or hell as some call it, they experience enormous mood swings, terrible hormonal imbalance, morning sickness, and/or the oddest craving on the face of the earth. For the husband it is a test of his love for his wife and their bond; and how much headaches they both can endure. However when your wife is a one thousand year old dragon girl, those problems are rather…extreme.

"Please Robin!"

"Nowi, you CANNOT eat the cow!"

Take the odd cravings.

At the moment Robin and his wife Nowi are in a farmers felid where the cows were cowering in fear of Nowi's dragon from. She was two months pregnant with their first child and was experiencing one of cravings for beef. Raw beef.

"Look, honey, I'll fix some hambuger stake when get home ok?" He tired to appase his wife who was drooling form her maw and was giving the cows' shivering behind him a look of utter hunger.

Robin expected an odd experience when getting married to a Manakete, and an even odder when she announced she was pregnant with their first child that was already born. He doesn't remember much on that day. Probably because he fainted.

Nowi pouted, well pouted as much as ten foot dragon can, and lower herself to the ground. Changing back into her human form.

"Ok…" She looked utterly disappointed in the fact she couldn't eat a cow.

Robin, scratched the back of his head in dismay. This is a very fragile time for his wife. It's is his duty as a husband to support in this trying time. But eating a famer's cow would get both them and Chrom in a lot of trouble.

"Eek!?" Nowi squeaked in surprise when her husband suddenly swept her up in his arms. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"I know this is rough, but I am here to help you through this ok?"

With a bright face, Nowi smiled, snuggling deeper in her husband's chest. "Ok!"

With them both in agreement Robin carried his wife back to their home. Leaving the cows to graze in peace.

Until a dragon soared by and scoped up one in its maw.

"Damnit Nowi!"

Robin was swift to give chase.

Morning sickness is like the term sounds. You wake up in the morning with a heavy case of the flu. Just without the lovely hundred degree fever, and more of the sweet vomiting and nausea. Every woman experiences this differently, however Manakete's have different biology than humans. Their body temperature is higher because of the fire inside them, they age a lot slower because of their long life, and they can't get drunk. Many men have been taken under table by Nowi and Tiki. Because of their high metabolism it take more than a few bottles to make a little trippy; more like three hundred. But it is not impossible to get them drunk.

How?

One way would be to make them drink over four thousand gallons of pure alcohol. In their dragon form.

An easier way would be to get them pregnant and let them experience morning sickness.

"Rruuubbiinnn~! *hic*!" The slurry overly high pitched belonged the tactician's wife as she stumbled in his study. Where he was looking over some old notes.

"Yes dear?" He asked, not looking up from his desk. Used to her random bouts of drunkenness.

"I wuv yous~! Yas Knows~?" She hiccupped as she berried her face into his cheek.

"And I love you too Nowi." Being four months now into her pregnancy, and finally showing, Robin has far been used to her odd tendencies when experiencing her morning sickness taking them all in stride.

Nowi giggled happy and fell into his lap, giggling and laughing at nothing in particular.

"When I -*hic* when *hic* whe *hic*….. Eh heh heh you have big nose~." She reached up and poked her husband in the nose lightly as he worked.

"So I've been told." He chuckled lightly in responses. When Nowi had become pregnant, Robin acted like any man. He fainted and panicked. He ran around screaming his head off worrying about if their child would come out normal. When Nah was standing right next to him. When he finally calmed down he went to Tiki for advice and she told the differences between human pregnancy and Manakete's.

"Whats was ish saying…oh yeah! Yours ah creeper~!" One of them being the different drunken states for different women when they have morning sickness. Nowi is the stereotypical honest drunk.

"You don't say?" He continued on his work, ignore on what she about to say next. The last time she went off on her drunken talks she called Chrom's hair stupid, and that she thought Tiki was fat. Right in front of them.

She turned on her stomach, kicking her feet up and down like a child. "Weellss, when I first sees yous. You had these jeepers' creepers peepers and I thought 'Ohs nos he's going to attack mes!'I was scwared at first, but you attack me every night now so it's fine!"

He was really gald they are in his private study.

"Is didn't think yous were that cute too!"

'Ok now that one hurt…'

"Rickyten was a lot cuter!"

Robin's eye twitched. "Oh?"

"Yupers~! I just wanted to eat him out! *hic* I mean up!" She smiled goofily. "He waz such a cutie! But then yous came alongz and swept me away!" She expanded her arms dramatically. "If it *hic* you didn't show up first I would probably have married him!"

She turned to straddle his waist and hug him, with a big blush on her face. "But nows is have the bestteset bestest coolest husband ever! *hic*"

"Hmmm…"

"Oh. Farther." Nah poked her head his study and walked up to her parents.

"Ah, Nah." Robin lifted up his dizzy wife, who squeaked and giggled excitedly.

"Ahh you're going to attack me again~!?"

Robin set down his wife next to Nah, who wobbled when her mother leaned on her.

"Nah! Hows my favs dau-*hic* dau-*hic* child thingy!? Eh heh heh! Oh did you finally get laid? Yous can be such a *hic* prude sometimes! Morgan and Yarne have already done it….um was ten times…"

"Ugh…" Nah sighed as her mother rambled on.

"I need you to watch your mother for a bit. I need to…take care of something." There was an odd glimmer in eyes as he said that.

While her father walked out the study her mother was turning slightly green.

"Ugh I don't feel so good…."

Ah one more thing about Manakete's and their drunken morning sickness.

"Wait! Mom don't!"

"BLAAGHH!"

After the effect of their morning sickness wears off they throw up.

Ricken smiled at the peaceful day he was having. And it would only get better with his wife he was planning a picnic with. He walked down the halls of the castle in bless.

"Excuses me Ricken."

Robin, his close friend, called out from behind him.

"Ye-EEKK!?"

There was a dark, intimidating aura pouring form the grandmaster. His kind smile only promising pain.

"Wha-wha-wha…" The poor young mage was shaking.

"I was wonder if I could," Robin placed his hand on his friend's (?) shoulder. It was rather cold for a summer afternoon. "Talk…"

A jealous Robin is a scary Robin.

"EEEEEEEKKKKK!" No one sadly heard the poor young man's scream.

I am sorry Ricken.

Nah groaned at that fact her shirt was…messy to say the least.

"I know mom is going through her first pregnancy and all but did she have to ruin my favorite shirt."

She was wearing her father's old shirt, which, because of her height, was more like a dress, while her other shirt was being heavily washed.

"Well at least she didn't get your hair…" Her younger sister, Morgan laughed with some mirth. She loved her farther but she was going to get him back for latterly throwing her mother at her when she was nothing but a vomiting bomb.

Nah and Morgan were walking to their room next to their parents. With nothing but tired expressions on their face. Their mother's behavior was taking a toll on everyone in the shepherds. Although Robin and his family was taking the bulk of it. The worse was her mood swings. It's rather easy to pacific their mother, but it's hard when she in her dragon form trying to blow up a dress store because they did have her size; they are currently band form said store.

"I didn't know you would such a hassle sis." Morgan giggled at her sister.

Nah, understanding the meaning of her words, fumed at her. "Oh as if you will a ray sunshine!" She crossed her arms glaring at her sister. "Pregnancy is a big change for everyone; both the baby and the mother. It doesn't matter who or what the gender-"

"Yup. You're the reason mom's so crazy." Morgan snickered, her grin arrogant and cocksure.

That snap the calm Nah's temper, "Why you-"

"Mmmm. Robin…one more time…" the moan form their parents room caused them to stop their bickering.

The sister's looked at each other, trying to put together what they just heard.

"I…I can't go on…" That was their father's tired panting voice form the door.

That got them blushing and speechless. Nah, being the more reasonable one, quickly reassured the situation.

"W-well during a woman's pregnancy their hormones go awry. And they become more-"

"Shh! Nah! I can't hear anything…" Hushed her little sister who had her ear to the door trying to listen in.

"M-Morgan!" She rushed at her sister scolding her. "We can't impose on them like this!"

"I heard form Tiki when Manakete's are pregnant they become, and I am only quoting here, 'hotter than a volcano in the summer and their husbands are sucked dry.'" her smile was large and curious. "I want to see what that's like. Maybe I can use it to trick dad"

Sadly Nah's mind was not so innocent. She turned the most furious shade of red in her life.

"Please dear…I need you so bad…." Her mother's panting was burned into Nah's poor ears. It was at this point Nah was hating her hyper hearing.

"If…you…return the favor."

Nowi's desperate moans seemed to echo off the walls, "Of coruse love. Now please….hurry…"

"Oohh so that's his-HEY!?"

Nah dragged her little sister by her coat down the hall. Her face turning a flaming red. "That's enough out of you!"

"Ah…oh! Yes! R-Right there!"

Robin groaned as he massaged his wife's back. His hands were killing him. He was going at this for ten hours.

"Oh I am sorry dear." She sighed, lovely his fingers. "Carrying this baby around is killing me."

"I know dear." His wife's petite body was carrying the large lump in her belly did not look comfortable. So he was understood. But ten hours is nuts. Yet this was better than last week where they didn't leave the room and she drained of all his bodily fluids.

'I still can't believe she could bend like that…' He thought with a massive blush.

"Ah…." His wife slipped into his chest. Her eyes closed in bless as she snuggled up to him.

The life of husband and wife during pregnancy is a troublesome one, but more importantly a time of connection. A time of love. A time where lovers find themselves.

"ARRGGHHHH!"

And a time for pain. Lots and lots of pain.

"DAMNIT ROBIN!"

In the royal hospital, Nowi was currently giving birth to her first child. The hospital hall was filled with men and women of the castle. Inside is the loving couple surrounded by doctors trying their best to make the situation as painless as possible. If even is possible.

"OUCH!" Her husband was right there with her giving her support by holding her hand. Which she crushed with every painful contraction. Her Manakete strength wasn't helping either.

Outside the office the other shepherds were either wincing or worrying at what was happening behind the door.

The doctor being her legs spoke rather indifferently. "Ok Miss. You're doing great. Just a little more-"

"Just a little more and I'll die!" Not really. But is sure as hell felt like. For both her and Robin. Well his will hand anyway.

Nah was greener than the rest of the party. Holding her head in her hands in utter embarrassment. Everything that was going on behind the large doors were in stereo for her.

"Hey," He younger sibling asked. "Are you ok sis?"

"Ughh I am fine…" Hearing yourself being born is not good for your health.

"Okay miss one more push!"

Screaming at the top of her lungs Nowi gave one last push, "AHHHHHH!"

Screaming at the top of his lungs, Robin tried to endure the pain of all the bones be crushed in his hands.

"Aaaggghhhh!"

For the thirteenth time.

"Ah. Here she is…" The doctor cooed at the new born as it cried its first breaths of life. Cleaning her with a towel then wrapping her in it.

Nowi, panting and exhausted in sweat, held her hands out for her for her new baby girl. Robin scooted closer to her. His face in awe. She held her first child. A being she brought into this world. A person they brought to life. Her and her husband. Together.

"Wow…." With a gentle finger she stroked her daughter's cheek. Hands smaller than a thimble, grip Nowi's index finger tightly. "Hee hee. Hello you…"

"She's got your grip…" Robin noted as he played with his daughter's other hand. She giggled and gurgled at her farther smiling playfully.

"Hey. She's got your smile." Nowi giggled along with her.

For all the pain, for all the crazy things they have been through. This moment. This moment right here and now. It makes it all worth it. It makes everything seem so simple. So easy.

"….I can't wait until we have Morgan." Nowi beamed at her lover.

Robin paled a little.

Although to say that he would go through all this again is rather….

"Y-Yeah me too…"

Extreme.

Hang in there Robin.
