Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did, well the show would have had Kitty have a baby and not menopause. I know it could've worked!
Author's Note: Hello Everyone! This is my contribution to the newest Fan Fiction Challenge, we have going on our fanfic board. It's also my first contribution to any challenge so I hope it good. It is going to be a multichapter fic, because it is a challenge concerning Red and Kitty and well I got a little way to into writing the story and wanted to make this a longer fic. Shocker huh?
The requirements for this challenge selected by heartlessromatic667 were: A POV piece from one of the Formans or Hyde on when Kitty thought she was pregnant or what if she really was.
Now I know this first chapter is not a point of view, but in the upcoming chapters there will be some written in a character's pov. And don't worry they will be so much longer and have the rest of the characters too. I promise! It will be a fic taking place over the whole nine months of Kitty's pregnancy, hence the title. And I hope you guys like it because I'm really excited and enjoying writing this story…I know big surprise right? Lol ok, I'll stop talking now, this AN is getting longer than the chapter! Enjoy!
Nine Months
"Oh my, that was some party." Kitty Forman said as she entered the bedroom she and her husband shared. Her husband straggled in behind her.
"Yeah. You know what my favorite part was?" Red asked with a smile starting to form on his lips.
Kitty quickly turned around to face her husband. Her smile had grown even more at hearing his words. Had Red Forman actually enjoyed himself at a party?
"Which part, Red?" she asked excitedly.
"The end."
A small confused frown was indented onto Kitty's forehead, "What do you mean?"
"The end." Red repeated with a smirk before he began to explain, "You know the part where the party finished and everyone left? I loved that part."
A disappointed sigh and an eye roll came from Kitty as she looked at her grinning husband, who just thought he was so clever. She shook her head as she realized she should have known better. Red having a good time at a party, ha! She had a better chance of him taking her to Hawaii.
"Oh Red." She said with a shake of her head, "You know it wasn't that bad. The fireworks this year were really nice."
Red's smug grin disappeared from his face and was replaced with his familiar scowl as he closed the bedroom door, "Which fireworks were that, Kitty? The ones the keatlehead nearly set off in his hand or the one he threw and almost set my garage on fire with?"
"Well, it wouldn't be The Fourth of July…or any holiday without Michael almost setting something on fire." His wife replied with a weak smile.
"You can say that again." Red mumbled as he walked over to the queen sized bed and laid himself down above the covers—still fully dressed in the days' clothes.
"Alright, beside the fireworks, you have to admit you had a good time." Kitty said as she took off her earrings and placed them on her vanity, "I saw you smiling when you grilling those hamburgers and hotdogs and drinking your beer."
Red gave a small smirk as he watched her from afar, she right about that.
"Yeah, that was pretty nice." He admitted and smiled for a second or two more, remembering the heat from the fire and the coldness from his can of Budweiser, before his frown reappeared as he remembered something else from the night's events. "Until the foreign kid got drunk and started singing Christmas carols."
Kitty had to laugh as she recalled the memory. Fez had taken the whole 'Christmas in July' to a whole new level as he sung songs from The Little Drummer Boy to Frosty the Snowman, while mixing up a few words every now and then.
"Then there was Bob who was all whinny and cry-y." Red continued to grumble from his spot on the mattress, "And Eric was just as bad, but he added the word twitchy into the mix."
"Oh Red, you can't blame them, they're both missing Donna." She said out loud, "She's been out in California for almost two months now."
Red rolled his eyes at the excuse his wife made for the two 'men,' "Missing the girl or not, they were still whinny and cry-y. The only reason I didn't stick my foot up their asses is because I didn't know which one of them deserved to be first."
Kitty released a nervous laugh into the air, "Well Red, just remember, Eric is your son."
He only shrugged his shoulder as she went on.
"Oh and did you see Steven and Jackie?"
"No." Red said with a frown as he tried to recall seeing his adopted son and the one he affectionately called 'the loud one' together or even by themselves, "I think I only saw them once or twice tonight."
"Exactly!" Kitty said with a giant smile.
Kitty's grin only made Red's frown deepen, "Exactly, what?"
"Exactly, you never saw them, which means they snuck off. Together. Because they're in love."
Red's scowl was still in place as he asked, "Kitty, where did you ever get that idea from? Those two hate each other."
"No they don't." Kitty said in a singing tone as she walked over the dresser to retrieve her nightgown, "And I got the idea from the barbeque we had last year for Veterans Day when Steven punched that boy Jackie brought and then took her out for a little date, where you know they kissed."
"Veterans Day. Another holiday when we have a party at our house." Red declared, dismissing everything else his wife had said, "Why is every holiday celebrated in our house?"
Kitty turned around to face her husband, "I'll take Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween, and even St. Patrick's Day as my doing; but Veterans Day and The Fourth of July is all you Red Forman."
"Well who else is going to do it?" Red questioned, now sitting up and removing his shoes that he was lucky enough that Kitty hadn't noticed he was still wearing when he was lying on the bed.
"Bob? Ha!" he gave a fake laugh, "The guy was only in the National Guard."
Smiling, Kitty turned back to face her husband and made her way closer to where he was sitting.
"That's right." She then bent down, placing her hands on his shoulders and gave him quick but loving kiss on the lips, "And he's got nothing on you, my strong, sexy, sailor."
Red couldn't help but smirk as an idea popped into his head. He then proceeded to wrap his arms around his wife's waist, keeping her from moving back to the dresser, and surprising her just abit.
"You know Kitty, everyone from the party's gone now. The two dumbasses are down in the basement. We've got the whole upstairs to ourselves." He said looking up at her blue eyes, his voice suddenly getting husky, "What do you say we set off our own fireworks?"
"Oh Red." Kitty said as she gave out one of her girlish giggles.
And before more could be said, Red grinned mischievously and fell back onto the bed taking his giggling wife with him.
Author's Note: And that would be the first chapter of "Nine Months" Hope you liked!
The time line I'm using is a little different I think. I figured since the first episode of the season was said to take place in late summer, that would be late August. Then two episodes later Kitty announced her 'pregnancy.' I figure she was a month two months pregnant…if she really had been pregnant. So that's why I chose the 4th of July to be the starting point of it all. And I love those two, really I do, but I was NOT going to right that part. I have enough trouble watching the water tower episode sometimes lol jk.
Until next time, thanks for reading, hope you liked, please review and lemme know what you think, stay tuned, take care and have a nice day!
