Keith struggled trying to break free of the restraints. “It’s no use boy,” the mad scientist spat at him, “those restraints could hold a Galra soldier ten times your size.” Keith glared angrily at the dark figure. The mad scientist pulled out a large needle syringe, when Keith saw it, he was consumed by panic, his breathing became rapid his pulse pounded. Keith squirmed franticly trying to get away from the needle. A needle that looked just like the one that haunted his nightmares.
Allura watched in horror from where she was restrained. She had never seen Keith so terrified as he cried out in panic, in pure terror as the mad scientist injected the needle and drew blood. Taking his sample, the mad scientist left, leaving Keith trembling from head to toe.
“Keith? Are you okay?” Allura called out. Tears rolled down the boy’s face.
“I’m… I’m f-f-f-fine… I just r-r-r-really… r-r-r-really hate needles. B-b-bad memories,” Keith managed to reply trying to pull himself together for her sake.
The mad scientist returned and let out an evil cackle, “Soon my plan will be complete! I have extracted the boy’s DNA and put it into this serum which will in turn proceed to fertilize your egg, little missy, when I inject you with it! Oh, what fun this is!” with a great laugh he injected Allura with the serum.
Suddenly the team burst through the wall and Lance blasted the mad scientist unconscious.

Allura woke with a start and sat up. Looking down she noticed that her belly now slightly protruded from her waist. Allura’s eyes widened. It can’t be. After pulling on a looser fitting dress and brushing her hair, she snook into the infirmary. Picking up a device she scanned herself. Well, there was no denying it now. She was in fact pregnant. She could however hide that fact from the others at least for a little bit and pretend that everything was normal. That way she could put off figuring out how to handle something that she had no clue how to handle. But she knew she couldn’t hide it for long. She may not know much about the subject but she knew it wasn’t supposed to progress this fast. This was as unnatural as the way it started.

Keith had just finished breakfast when Allura came in for hers. She was wearing a loose-fitting dress. Keith watched her, the mad scientist tried to impregnate her and now she wearing a loose dress… It can’t be! Nope definitely not, it’s just a coincidence, right?
“Good morning, Keith,” Allura greeted.
“Morning,” Keith replied then headed to the kitchen with his bowl and Allura followed suit to collect her breakfast.
“You wouldn’t still have some honey, would you?” Allura asked Hunk who was already in the kitchen, “I suddenly have a craving for some.”
Keith and Hunk shared a glance, “Sure, we do,” Hunk said pulling it out and handing it to her.
“Thanks,” Allura said and left with the entire bottle.
“What just happened? Last I checked she found honey gross. Do you have any ideas why?” Hunk asked Keith.
“No,” he replied a little too quickly. Hunk raised his eyebrow.
“I’ve got to go,” Keith said then rushed out of the kitchen.
“Okay then…”

Keith sat down in the lounge and put his head in his hands. First, she wears a loose dress now she’s craving something she thinks is disgusting. He knows it might not be true, but he can’t help but suspect that she may be pregnant. With his baby. The prospect of that terrified him, yet part of him longed for it to be true.
“Hey, what’s wrong buddy?” Shiro asked coming in and sitting beside him.
Keith looked up at his brother figure, “Nothing, not really. I’m just having trouble processing something.”
“Want to talk about it?” Shiro asked.
Keith let out a dry chuckle, “I don’t think that would help. Look, you should talk to Allura, she’s the one who ate a whole bottle of honey for breakfast.”
Shiro looked at him, “She did what?!”
Just then Allura came in wearing an extra puffy gown. Shiro raised an eyebrow.
“Okay, explanation time,” Keith said gingerly grabbing Allura’s hand and leading her into another room leaving behind a bewildered Shiro. Without releasing her hand, Keith turned to face Allura. “Allura,” he began softly, “Tell me the truth, are you pregnant?”
“I… yes, Keith I am,” Allura said hesitantly he deserved to know. “I don’t know how to handle this, I’m not ready,” she admitted breaking down in tears.
Keith pulled her into his arms, “It’s okay, I don’t think most people are. I’m here for you. You don’t have to do this alone.” Lance entered the doorway and was going to say something but once he saw them, he closed his mouth and backed out.
“You really should tell the others,” Keith said gently, “and get out of this silly gown.”
Allura laughed and pulled out of his strong arms, “Okay, babe.” Realizing what she said Allura fled leaving behind a stunned Keith.
