Males Get Pregnant AU

Branch sits on the bed he shares with Poppy. He holds a pregnancy test in his hand as he counts the seconds. The king had been feeling and acting different for a week now. Branch has been suffering from morning sickness and his body felt different. When the blue troll told Guy Diamond about this Guy suggested to him that he should take a pregnancy test. Guy had a feeling that he knew what was going on. I went through morning sickness and felt different like that when he was pregnant with Tiny.

Then Branch looks at the test and his eyes widen in shock! He couldn't believe it! The Pregnancy test said "positive "! The male just stares at test in shock! He's pregnant... After spending several minutes of silently freaking out Branch finally starts talking.

" I'm pregnant...",Branch says softly to himself.

Later that night,Poppy comes back home singing a little song to herself. She walks happily into the kitchen and sees her husband sitting at the table. The Queen smiles happily to see him. She hadn't seen him for most of the day and is happy to see that he is okay.

"Hey Babe.", Poppy greets happily.

" Hey Hon.",Branch greets back.

Then Poppy walks over to him and gives him an affectionate kiss on the cheek. Branch smiles softly then gives his wife a small kiss on her lips. After the kiss the pink Queen walks over to the top cabinet with the cups. She opens it revealing a bunch of different cups and mugs.

"So how was your day?", Branch asks.

" Oh it was great. The trollings were so adorable and sweet. Sometimes they make me wonder what it would be like when we have our own children. ",Poppy admits happily.

Poppy takes out a two mugs and puts them down on the counter. Branch sighs softly to himself. They already are going to have children sooner than she thinks. Branch is unsure how to tell her but, he is going to try. Maybe he should ease into it? He hopes Poppy will take it well...

" Sounds good. How much do you think about having kids?",Branch asks trying to sound natural.

Poppy didn't need to think about her answer. She turns around to Branch with the mugs in her hands. Happy innocence is written all over her face. She has no idea about Branch's new news.

" Well,I do sometimes. I have been thinking about it more lately. Coffee?", Poppy says happily and innocently.

Branch pauses for a moment as he remembers something about pregnant trolls can't have coffee. He has to talk to a doctor later but, for now it better to play safe than sorry.

" Hm... No thanks. I'm good. ",Branch replies.

Poppy nods her head while making a quick humming sound. The Queen finds it a little weird that he turned down coffee but, ignores it. She walks over to the kettle then puts the mugs down close to it. She quickly starts making tea.

"Why do you ask?", Poppy asks innocently.

Branch feels nervous right now. He has many worries in his head. Branch couldn't stop the doubts and worries from floating in his head. It is hard for him not to worry.

" Well,something got me thinking about trollings earlier. Do you think I would be a good dad? ",Branch says honestly.

Branch isn't lying. He is just not giving all the details. Poppy just finishes making tea then looks at Branch and frowns. She could tell that he is doubting himself. The pink woman walks over to the table and sits down. She starts holding one of his hands comfortingly.

" You would make a great father. I just know it. ",Poppy says positively and honestly.

" But, I had nobody growing up so what would I know about raising my own child...",Branch says unsure and unhappily.

Poppy frown becomes more sad. She knows how Branch doesn't believe in himself sometimes. She didn't like it when he doubted himself like that. Then a soft smile appears on her face.

" It's okay, Branchie. I seen you babysitting little trolls and you did good job taking care of them. I'm sure you will do even better at taking care of our own trollings. It doesn't matter that you sadly didn't have your parents because, you will do great. ",Poppy says honestly,softly and encouragingly.

Branch feels better after hearing Poppy. A soft and small smile appears on his face. Unknowingly to Poppy Branch puts his free hand on his tummy. His hand simply rests on it.

" Thanks, Pops. You will be a great mother. ",Branch says softly and happily.

Then Branch pulls out the pregnancy test from his hair. Poppy notices this action and becomes confused. She couldn't tell that the object is a pregnancy test. He puts the test on the table then pushes it forward towards his wife.

" Ready to start a family? ",Branch asks softly.

Poppy blinks confused for the first few seconds at her husband. She picks up the test and looks at. Her eyes widen in shock as she looks at the test! She recognizes the pregnancy test and can see the word " Positive " as clear as day! Quickly joy fills Poppy's heart. She couldn't be happier!

" Your pregnant... ",Poppy says surprised and joyful quietly.

Branch smiles at her and nod his slightly. Then Poppy quickly gets out of her seat and hugs Branch before he could do anything else. There is a big smile on her face. Branch is caught off guard by her actions.

" This is the best news ever! We gonna be parents! ",Poppy exclaims over the moon happy.

Branch is surprised by how well Poppy is taking this. He was afraid that she would be upset or something. Branch feels relieved that she is taking this so well. Nine months later, Branch gives birth to a beautiful baby princess. Branch and Poppy couldn't be happier and immediately loved her from the moment they first laid eyes on her. They named her Harmony. No matter how hard parenthood gets the Royal couple will stay by each other and care for their baby together.
