Hi everyone! So this is my first shot at Parks and Rec fan fiction. It's a series of drabbles covering basically all the characters on the show. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated! I hope you enjoy it!


Wait," Ann said, shaking her head in disbelief. "What?"

"It's a bib," Leslie clarified as she took it out of the box. "It says 'World's Best Aunt.'"

"I know what it is. I don't know what it – are you trying to tell me you're pregnant?"

Leslie couldn't answer one way or another; she was processing the news just as much as Ann was.

"Oh my gosh, you are pregnant! You're pregnant!" Ann wrapped Leslie in a hug. She was truly excited for her best friend.

"Shhh," Leslie hushed her. "You can't tell anyone."

"Ben doesn't know?" Ann asked.

"No," she answered as she hung her head, slightly embarrassed. "It took me two weeks to figure out how to tell you! How am I supposed to tell him?"

"You just tell him," Ann replied. "He'll be ecstatic."

"I can't just tell him," Leslie said. "This is like the female's equivalent of proposing. Just telling him would be like, throwing a ring at a girl and saying 'what do you think?'"

Ann laughed and rolled her eyes. She should have known better. This was the woman who had a cake professionally decorated to tell her that she wouldn't be at work on Monday. "How are you going to do it?"

"I don't know," Leslie admitted. "I need a string quartet, no a jazz duo, no a small brass ensemble. I'll need three-dozen butterflies, some swans, an electrician, do you think we could get Morgan Freeman to do a voice-over? And a speechwriter. Gosh, Ben's my speechwriter. What if I told him that I was pregnant with another man's child and asked him to write a speech for me?" She had to stop to catch her breath. Her brain had been working at full speed since she had gone to the doctor two weeks ago. She wanted to tell Ben, and she wanted to tell him soon before she ending up saying it in her sleep, or blurting it out while they were brushing their teeth, but she had no idea how to begin. She wanted it to be perfect. He deserved for it to be perfect.

"Let's just slow down for a minute," Ann interceded. "Ben is going to be happy no matter how you tell him."

"You really think so?" Leslie asked.

"Of course I do. He loves you Leslie. He's going to be so thrilled at the prospect of starting a family with that he probably wouldn't care if you just left a note for him on the kitchen counter."

"Beautiful and wise, you really are the whole package, Ann Perkins."

Ann laughed at her friend. "So, were you, um, were you guys trying?"

"No. We'll, kind of. I don't know! We talked about trying. We talked about having kids, and we said we wanted them. So we were kind of talking about trying."

"You'll be a great mom," Ann said honestly. "You and Ben will make amazing parents."

Leslie smiled, thankful that she had a friend like Ann. "You're okay with this? I know you and Chris have been trying, and I'm not trying to steal your thunder. I just, I had to tell you."

"Leslie, I am so happy for you. I mean that."

Leslie smiled and nodded. She felt better already. "Now, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

Ann rummaged in her bag and produced a small wrapped present.

"Did I miss one of our holidays?" Leslie asked as she took the gift and began to unwrap it. "Harry Potter Day? German Sausage Day? Microwave Peep Fight Day?"

Ann shook her head, "Just look inside."

Leslie opened the lid on the box, and Ann watched as her face turned to one of confusion, and then shock.

"It's a bib," Ann said. "'World's Best Aunt.'"

"Ann…."

Ann smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "I'm pregnant too."


Thanks for reading!
