Chapter Text
This hadn't happened before...
Robecca's boiler has been running out faster in the past few days. Usually a refill is only needed once every two or three weeks, but she swears that if it keeps up at this rate, she'll need a refill overmorrow.
This obviously couldn't get brushed off that easily, she'll be damned if she lets something bad happen to her body. Robecca wants to be able to keep kissing and cuddling with Venus, going on dates with her, playing sports, just moving around in general. If any of those went away for good, she'd never forgive herself.
Grabbing a hand mirror, Robecca sat on the bed, took off her shirt, and opened up the latch on her chest. From her angle, she saw nothing out of the ordinary, giving her some worry that if there was something, it might be quite deep. Oh how she prays that this isn't a problem she'll need to go to a mechanic for, she hates going !
Surely she can fix this on her own, right ? With Venus' help if needed ? Much like how other people are scared of the dentist, vet, surgeries, etc, Robecca is quite fearful of going to a mechanic and getting repairs or modifications.
Robecca tried to remain calm as she grabbed the mirror and faced the reflective glass towards her inner workings, and that's when she saw it. She nearly dropped the mirror from how shocked she was !
There, under her boiler, nestled and somehow rooted inside of her was a small, green sprout. It was adorable, fragile looking, but also rather alarming.
If Robecca was nervous before, now she was absolutely befuddled and perhaps panicking a little. How a plant rooted inside of her was beyond her knowledge. Though, it might be within Venus'...
Robecca pushed the mirror aside, hesitantly reaching in to graze the little sprout's leaves. It felt ever so slightly metallic, yet still planty. It was also real, too real for her liking. Is it a parasite ? Is it a natural fuck up ? Did she eat something ? No, all things she consumes go straight into her boiler. And she sure doesn't remember stuffing anything in there, either. But what is she to do if the roots are too deep ? Maybe she's so old that plants have started overtaking her already !?
She had to tell her beloved. If it's something serious, she wants to be held and soothed by the best person ever.
" Veeee Veeeee !!! Something's terribly wrong ! " Robecca cried out, a puff of steam leaving her eyes.
Hearing her wife's distress, Venus abandoned whatever she was doing and rushed towards the bedroom without any second thought.
Venus walked in, cooing worriedly as she saw Robecca gripping the bedsheets anxiously, with her chest wide open. She crouched in front of her, a hand on each copper thigh, her expression showing concern as they made eye contact. Watching Robecca act so scared made Venus' heart ache, one of many things about them that hasn't changed since High School.
" Becs ? Baby, what's wrong ? "
Robecca just pointed to where the sprout was. Venus' gaze followed Robecca's finger, very quickly noticing the little plant. Normally she'd find a little thing like this cute, but seeing Robecca's distress made her think otherwise.
Venus reached in, feeling the little sprout. Much like Robecca, she easily determined it to be a real plant, and rather healthy. She's touched many plants in her life: alive, dead, dying, and fake, but to have a living plant under her fingertips just this once felt alien.
" What the... "
" Is it bad ?! Do I have to go to a mechanic ?! " " No no ! At least I don't think so. " Venus quickly assured, giving one of Robecca's thighs a kiss as she continued examining the plant. Just because it felt alien doesn't mean she doesn't know why it happened.
She clicked her tongue, blushing a little.
" You... Could be pregnant. "
A pause. Robecca's eyes widened as she processed what Venus just suggested. That possibility never occurred to her before. She has no ovaries, no womb, no eggs, no cock with sperm or seed to get someone else pregnant, she believed for most of her unlife that she'll simply never be able to produce a child of her own. She was content with adoption, crafting a child, or being a stepmother, even if she was curious about what it'd feel like to carry a baby. Then she met Venus and learned more about plants, how plant babies can grow almost anywhere and in almost anybody, and yet she still kept forgetting that.
Thinking back on it, they have had sex multiple times, the most recent being about six days ago. Could it be... ?
" ... I'm what... ? "
" The timeline should add up: we fucked almost a week ago, and I finished inside of you. It honestly might be ! And it doesn't seem particularly dangerous. I haven't heard of a robot being pregnant with a plant before, though, so I dunno how safe this is... " Venus squeezed Robecca's thighs a little harder, looking uncertain as her gaze shifted from Robecca's face and back to the plant. The thought of possible danger only heightened Robecca's worries, making her let out a little whimper.
" Normally plant babies from my kind of plant monster look like that, too. You really are pregnant... ! Wow ! " Venus said in awe, admiring the cute little sprout.
" What do we do ??? " " Do you want me to pluck it out and spray plant killer in there ? It should- " " no ! No, I- "
Getting rid of what could possibly be their soon to be baby... Oh, the idea of it brought Robecca great sorrow.
" ... Can we see where this will go ? " " Of course, hun... "
Venus smiled softly, rising up and kissing Robecca's forehead. The copper ghoul giggled and closed her chest before pulling her lover in and trapping her in her arms. Venus giggled, hugging back and giving more kisses. The reality of a pregnancy was slowly starting to become more and more blissful by the second, they're going to bring a baby into this world !
" Mmmmwa mwa mwa ! It'll be ok... If abortion is necessary, it's as easy as spraying plant killer and using scissors in the early and mid stages- " " please don't mention that... " " Shit- sorry ! "
Venus planted more kisses as an apology, hugging her love a little tighter.
" I think we'll make great parents... " " I sure hope so... "
