    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    “Okay, something is wrong.”

    “Nothing’s wrong,” Catra declares with force, holding the two halves of Bow’s now shattered tracker pad, before standing to eye the trickle of fluid now staining her pants, “I just need one of you to find me another way to communicate with the Alliance and a change of clothes because I think my water just broke.”

    Bow’s reaction as pure stress overcomes his entire being might’ve been hysterical if not for the growing stakes, “You’re what just broke? Are you telling me you’re in labor?”

    “No Bow, I’ve just been having regular contractions for the last sixteen hours but I’m sure the midwife will think that’s completely normal- yes, I’m in labor, King Dumbass!”
    ~

    When a surge of magical energy disrupting multiple Etherian kingdoms calls for She-Ra on the front lines and Catra in the command center, the two are separated when Catra goes into labor.

    A baby fic/character study that explores Adora and Catra’s separate and intertwined paths from daughter to mother.
