Since the silly transphobic polls are happening atm and just asked if men can get pregnant, here’s a local story I really love to remind you that yes, men do give birth, and they deserve the best of care. It’s happening no matter what a few loud twitter transphobes are saying, we are out there thriving and creating wonderful families. A vast majority of the responses were extremely positive too <3

Mornings are rough for Me-Me. That’s when nausea and the urge to pee are at their worse - often waking her up from her sleep and making it tough to get the rest she needs. So rather than laying back down, only to be awakened moments later, Me-Me walks across the hall to the nursery.
The nice thing about inheriting a house is that the rooms are decorated and ready to be occupied. This one is her favorite. She’s sure that the baby will love growing up in this room.
For@hlord369 who asked for some ‘adorable pregnant korrasami cuddling’ For the record, I totally headcanon Korra freaking out the entire time Asami is pregnant- always asking if she needs water, or food, or to readjust the pillow, or if she’s comfortable and Asami is just like, 'Korra, pls, I’m fine, just go to sleep’ but can’t stop smiling because she loves that Korra cares so much.
Description: Alloaro Lily is single and never planned on having a kid, so when she unexpectedly gets pregnant, her friend Rain agrees to help her through the pregnancy and co-parent when the child is born. The troubles of pregnancy, however, put a strain on their relationship and suddenly Lily has a bad feeling about the baby. (This story is romance and sex free, apart from a brief mention of Lily being slut shamed for “sleeping around.”)
Content Warnings: pregnancy, (late term) abortion, arophobia/amatonormativity and slut shaming, depression, anger, and abortion trauma
note: if there are any warnings i’ve missed, please let me know so i can add them!
Disclaimer: I am submitting this for ASAW and Aro Writing Month, although while the main character, Lily, is alloaro (along with the supporting character, Rain, being genderqueer), the story does not revolve around their identities nor are they explicitly said within the text, but they are implied.

“When I was a boy… I was told by my parents… that babies were brought down by the storks… A fantastical tale, I suppose I was naiive to trust it… but under that haze of childhood you believe all matter of lies…”
