Elara had been getting a little worried since she's 23 weeks along and she hasn't felt a single movement for nearly a day, the baby was usually very active and had a gut feeling something was up. Right now she was with her parents, uncle, in-laws, and her kids talking in the lounge room and her mother-in-law, formally being a medic had a feeling that Elara was uneasy and decided to ask her.

"Elara? Are you alright? You look worried about something." Athena asked.

"Well... I am worried. I haven't felt the baby kick in over 24 vargas and I'm starting to think something is wrong with them." Elara said, frowning a little.

"That's not good." Buloc blurted out, earning a whack in the by Athena.

"Athena can you scan her?" Helgara asked.

"Of course I can and I will. That's my grandchild in there." Athena said, leaping to her feet even though she's literally 56.

Elara followed Athena to the medbay to get scanned and when she did, Athena internally panicked at what she saw.

"You're nervous. What's wrong?" Elara asked, already getting worked up.

"It's alright, calm yourself, don't stress yourself, it's not good for you. I need Zarkon to hear this too, so let me just go get him. Relax." Athena said, leaving the medbay.

"Shen..." Elara muttered in Galra, meaning shit.

Within five minutes Athena came back with Zarkon who was as pale as a piece of paper. Elara instantly got nervous and she and Zarkon instantly stared at Athena.

"Well?" They asked in unison.

"Based on what my scans picked up. The reason why the baby hasn't been moving so much is because it doesn't have the energy to do so. Elara and the baby have incompatible blood types. Her immune system is attacking the baby's red blood cells and if we don't act now the baby can die." Athena said seriously.

"Oh. I refuse to go through another miscarriage. I cannot do that again." Elara said.

"I know you can't and you won't. What do we need to do?" Zarkon asked his mother.

"The baby needs a blood transfusion from you Zarkon." Athena said.

"What?! You know I have a severe fear of needles!" Zarkon screeched.

"It's either you deal with your fear or a baby goes bye-bye and I get traumatized." Elara snapped.

"Fine... For you and the baby I'd do anything. Impale me mother." Zarkon said, holding out his arm dramatically.

After Athena extracted blood out of a very dramatic Zarkon. She got the transfusion needle already. When she turned around with the needle Elara's eyes practically popped out of her head. Zarkon lost his mind.

"Wait a damn minute! What is that?!" He asked, getting in front of a shaking Elara.

"This is the transfusion needle. It has to go through her stomach and into the baby's umbilical cord." Athena said.

"Women are you on drugs?! That is not going in my wife!" Zarkon hissed.

"Well it has to. Do you want your baby alive or not?" Athena snapped.

"Ugh, of course we do! Just do it already!" Elara said, bracing herself for the sting.

Zarkon held her hand and let her hide her face in neck as he covered her eyes so she didn't have to see the needle go in.

"Alright you're done. Just pay close attention to any movement in there. If you feel anything than you'll know that they're ok in there after the blood transfusion." Athena said, removing the needle and cleaning everything off.

Zarkon exhaled in relief and helped Elara get up after she put a bandage over the red dot where the needle went in. A couple hours later Elara were in bed at night staring at her bump to watch for any movement. At six months, she's only two months away from giving birth. Zarkon was in the restroom getting showered ready for bed when all of a sudden...

"OH MY GODS THEY KICKED!"

WOMAN I JUST BLOODY PISSED ON MY OWN FEET!"

"At least you're already in the shower!"

"WHATEVER ELARA!"
