Month 6

Rodrick’s belly had become huge. Not only that, but also heavier, much heavier. Rodrick felt like he’d eaten a large boulder. This baby orc was most certainly going to be big, & he worried, the doctor had warned him about giving birth to such a massive baby. Despite the obvious signs of this baby being large & the medic’s predictions, Rodrick was still hoping for a smaller baby.

Rodrick heard a knock on his door that morning, ¨Who is it?¨ he called out. ¨Terrin! And a few other friends!¨ a familiar voice responded. Rod smiled, ¨Be right there,¨ he grunted  making his way off the table. He hasn’t talked with his friends in about a year. He waddled his way to the door, & let his friends in.

The gang chatted for a while, happy to hear Rodrick was fine. They also worried about him having an orc baby. Rodrick really wished they didn’t though; he was glad that they felt some concern for him, but he just wished to keep it for himself. As they talked, Rodrick made his way off the chair & walked around, stroking his belly to calm the baby down, it was acting up again. ¨Say Rodrick,¨ one of the girls spoke. ¨Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl yet?¨ she asked. He raised his brows, ¨No, not yet. But I’m hoping for a boy,¨ he smiled taking in a deep breathe & letting it out. A few of his friends then got off their seats & went over to feel his belly.

Little did Rodrick know though, that he was being watched by an orc. The orc happened to have been strolling beyond the grounds they were restricted being in to find some larger caribou, but he came to Rodrick’s home. The orc remembered the human instantly, he happened to have been one of the last ones to have had his rape fun with him. But he had noticed that he was with a bigger belly after the last time he saw him. He looked closer, carefully making sure not to be spotted, & then gave a large grin at what he was seeing. The human had gotten pregnant!

This news made the orc laugh, not only because he was with child at such a young age for a human, but because he knew who the baby’s father was, undeniably. Orlin forbid all other orcs who raped Rodrick to ‘finish’ within him. He moved away from the windows, & returned back to his grounds. This orc had plans to tell Orlin what he had just seen.

¨Well, take care man,¨ one of  Rodrick’s friends said to him as the rest stepped out of his home leaving. ¨I will, be careful on your way home,¨ Rodrick said to his best friend, Terrin, as he closed the door. His stomach began to grumble again with the cravings. He had just eaten a few minutes ago. Rodrick just shrugged & headed over to the crystal ball to call for more food.

As Rodrick ate his roasted hog covered in strawberry sauce, he felt it, ¨Oof!¨ he gasped dropping his utensils. The baby had just given the first kick. But it was a violently hard kick. Rodrick quickly looked down & clutched his belly. Normally this would make any pregnant person happy, but this worried him, for a kick that hard could have damaged his skin.

A week had passed & this baby had been giving Rodrick hell with the constant kicking. He decided to sit down; he couldn’t take the rampage of hard kicks anymore. As he finally made his way down on the chair, he heard a knock on his door. ¨Ugh, I’m coming! Ergh!¨ he grunted in pain as he slowly made his way off the chair. Once fully up, Rod waddled to his door.

Opening it, he froze on his spot in horror. ¨Why hello again young warrior,¨ Orlin said right in front of his door. Rodrick was in shock, almost paralyzed in fear seeing that orc again. ¨Allow me,¨ he moved & walked through the door. The door slowly closed by itself as Rodrick stayed in his spot still horrified, his heart beating faster & him breathing in more air. He quickly clutched his belly again, hoping he didn’t know about the baby.

Orlin looked at the place for a few seconds & smiled at Rod, ¨So, I see you’re heavily carrying my son,¨ he said. Rodrick felt his heart go to his throat. He knew about the baby! But how?! Rodrick had to lie his way out of this. ¨N-no! It’s not yours! It’s…it’s from another man!¨ he attempted. But that only made the orc laugh out loud, ¨Hahaha, you can´t lie little human. I know that child is mine,¨ he said to Rodrick taking a step forward. Rodick knew he wouldn'd get out of this one anymore, Orlin was sure ofit, ¨...even if it was yours…I won´t let you have it…and…and you don’t even know if it’s a boy!¨ Rod said to Orlin angrily, but terrified of his presence. ¨Don´t you talk like that to me you weak little fool! I know it’s mine, & without a doubt it is a boy!¨ Orlin yelled at him, causing Rodrick to almost wet himself of fear. ¨And don’t you worry young warrior; I have no plans on taking it from you. In fact, I have something else in mind, something better,¨ Orlin said giving a menacingly evil grin.

Orlin made his way up to Rodrick, & Rodrick stepped back in terror, but landing down on his bed. The orc reached his hand out, Rod closed his eyes & covered covered his face in fear. But he suddenly felt that large hand stroke & rub his belly. He looked down at his belly as that massive, hairy arm gave it strokes. Orlin removed his hand from Rod’s gut, & turned to leave.

Rodrick was pacing his home, terrified, breathing heavily. He didn’t contact his father or anyone else, but Rod was worried more about Orlin’s plans. What did that orc mean by he had better plans? He bit his nails & looked around his room. Rod didn’t have the necessary weapons to attempt to kill Orlin, & he couldn’t kill him even if he tried, not under the heavy condition he was in. The thought of Orlin knowing that he was pregnant with his seed made Rodrick sick to his stomach. At this point, Rodrick didn’t know what to do. If Orlin knew about the rights he had to Rodrick’s throne because of him having a baby that belonged to him, then it would be over for him & the entire kingdom. Feeling his guts, he opened the window & threw up.

Meanwhile in the orc cave, Orlin was reminiscing in his throne. He had thought of his plans when his child arrived into the world, not that he needed it to for them to work. ¨Master, do you want us to take the baby from the human the day it is born?¨ an orc covered in sheep pelt asked Orlin. ¨No, Odion, let him keep the child. That child is all I need for my future plans to conquer the kingdom, whether it remains inside him or is out of him,¨ Orlin said in an evil tone as he looked at his cup filled with goat milk. He then let out an evil laugh.

¨What?! Are you saying…¨   ¨Yes father, he knows!¨ Rodrick said aloud to his father, still terrified of what had happened earlier. His parents were the only people he could trust at the moment, & he’d trust that they knew what to do about this. ¨But are you ok Rodrick?¨ his mother asked stepping off her throne & checking on her son. ¨No mom, I´m worried he’ll know about the rights he’ll have because of the baby,¨ Rodrick stated to the queen, his mother. The king thought for a minute, but came up with only one solution, killing Orlin.

¨What?!¨ the queen said angry at the thought. ¨It’s the only way! You have any better suggestions?¨ the king stated to her. ¨No, but this isn’t right! We can’t just kill an orc leader & just expect it all to end there! Who knows what the rest of the orc army could do if they found out that we had their king killed!¨ she explained aloud making a point. The king looked at his wife directly, she was right. If they sent someone over to kill the leader of an orc army, this may have caused a war between the kingdom & the orcs, & the orcs were far more powerful than humans.

Rodrick was back in his home, in bed, thinking to himself. Orlin said he wouldn’t take the baby from him, but what if it was just a trick? Rodrick didn’t know what to do, & his parents didn’t seem to have any solutions to the problem. The baby gave a kick as he thought. Rodrick stroked his belly. Over the past couple of months, he had grown fond of it. Despite who it’s father was, Rod grew to love the baby. THere was no way he would let this child get taken from him, especially from the father who put him inside.

It was then when he wondered about it being a boy or a girl, & what would it look like when it arrived. He was hoping for it to be a boy, & looked more human than orc. Odds were that it would still be more orc than human, but he knew that being a half orc & half human hybrid would have its benefits. Now all he needed to think of were names.

Month 9

Roderick’s belly had grown massive, & the baby had been assaulting him with kicks & punches. He was only one month away from having his child, & the thought of it only made him nervous. His belly was big enough to use as a battering ram. But even the joke wasn’t doing any justice for his aching back.

The medic ordered Rod to bed rest for precautions. The baby was undeniably big, & as it would continue to grow would mean a bit more danger to Rodrick; the constant kicks & punches were hurting the human. This order actually made Rod glad. He was tired of having to lift himself off the seats every time, & the constant back pains he’d have. This would just let him rest for the time being.

Rodrick however was worried about Orlin. He hasn’t seen or heard from him since he was 6 months pregnant. Not that he wanted to see Orlin again, but it worried Rodrick if he was planning something against the kingdom or when the baby arrived. He looked at his windows to be sure he wasn’t being spied on. That was probably how Orlin found out about the baby in the first place. Luckily, the king had sent guards to watch around the area & around Rodrick’s house for any orcs. It made Rod feel safer, but he still remained worried about Orlin’s sudden disappearance.

Month 10

Rodrick’s final month was here. He breathed heavily & panicked as he clutched his massive belly. He wasn’t due until about another week, says the doctor, but Rod’s nerves had him on the edge of his bed. He was happy that this whole nightmare was almost over, & that the baby orc had run out of room so that it would no longer assault his insides. Despite being glad that the little orc wasn’t twisting his insides, it was still a very heavy load to carry.

In his mind ran many things, from to looking forward to seeing it, to wondering about the birth. He wondered if he was going to be able to survive it. The thoughts raced his mind as he heard a knock on his door. ¨The door is open!¨ he yelled as he felt the baby move. The door opened & in walked his father. ¨Hello father,¨ he greeted his dad as the king sat on a chair. ¨Well, are you nervous when the time comes?¨ he asked his son. Rodrick nodded, ¨I haven’t been this nervous since I fought the ogre boar two years ago,¨ he reminded his dad. His father rose from the chair, ¨Just thought I’d let you know that I will be leaving three guards in front of your door while that baby is due. I don’t want anyone to be walking in but the medic, ¨ his dad explained. ¨Sure dad.¨

A week had passed & early in the morning Rodrick felt the baby give the signal of it´s arrival. Rodrick began to clench his teeth as he felt the contractions & the baby orc move lower in his belly. He quickly made his way off of bed, & waddled to the bathroom. The medic had asked for him to have the baby at a hospital, but the closest hospital was in the city, & that was about an hour drive. Though he could have made it to the city in no problem, Rodrick didn’t want to be seen in public by anyone in or outside the kingdom. So he had made the decision to have the baby at home.

Rodrick spent about 30 minutes bathing himself, & stepped out to dry. He wrapped the towel around his waist & proceeded to brushing his teeth. His waist now had all the heavy weight around it. As rod brushed his bottom teeth, he felt it, ¨Gogh!¨ he gasped as his water broke. It poured out as the whole floor became soaking wet. The baby was arriving NOW. He quickly stepped out of the bathroom & contacted the medic through the crystal ball to come over.

Rodrick waddled over to his bed as fast as he could, his stomach getting as hard as a rock & the baby moving down lower to make its entrance. The pain was unbearable, but Rod knew that the pain he was feeling now was going to be nothing compared to when he’d have to start pushing. That being said, the contractions have gotten so strong to the point where Rodrick just felt the urge to begin his pushing. He hoped that the medic arrived soon.

After a few minutes, the guards moved aside & let the medic step in. The medic saw Rod on the bed, covered in the sheets with his legs spread, & sweating. ¨You ok there?¨ he asked ignorantly. ¨Gergh…I’m in labor…in pain…& ready to have the biggest thing come out of my ass at any second…What do you think?!¨ Rod yelled angry as he felt the biggest urge to push. ¨Alright, sorry,¨ the medic apologized as he washed his hands, slipped on a pair of latex gloves, & headed over to begin the birthing process.

The birth started about 10 minutes ago but it seemed like no progress was being made. ¨Gghgghhhhhhhhhh!!¨ Rodrick pushed as hard as he could, gripping onto the sheets of his bed. The medic saw nothing appear yet, but he could see that the baby was moving more towards the entrance. ¨Ok, keep pushing Rodrick, you have to keep going.¨ Two hours then passed & all that had occurred was the head beginning to crown. The doctor saw a full head of hair. Rod let out a loud yell of pain as he pushed again. The pain he felt was like nothing he’d ever felt before in his life. What had happened to him 10 months back was nothing compared to the pain he felt pushing a massive baby orc.

5 hours passed, & Rodrick finally gave birth to his baby orc. ¨Aahhhh!!!¨ he let out his last scream of pain as the medic pulled out the rest of the newborn. The doctor’s eyes had widened of how big it was, & made him wonder how a mere human like Rodrick managed to go through with it all 10 months & deliver it. ¨It’s a boy!¨ he announced to Rodrick. Rodick smiled & put his head back on the pillow, crying to hear his son’s cries. Meanwhil, Rodcrick had no idea that Orlin was behind his house wall, listening to everything that had just happened.

Orlin smiled widely as he heard the cries of his son. He was accompanied by two other orcs, who then asked, ¨Boss, you want us to go inside & take the newborn?¨ Orlin shook his head at them,¨ No, just let them be,¨ he told the two as he turned to leave. Orlin knew that with that son of his, he had all the privilege to take Rodrick’s throne & the entire kingdom. But there was no reason for him to take it, for he had no reason to seek revenge on either Rod or his kingdom, & he bore no grudges against the king & queen. And plus, he wanted his son to grow up with a better life, & only Rodrick could offer that to him. The two orcs looked at each other, shrugged & followed Orlin home.

¨Let me hold him…¨ Rodrick begged the medic to hand his son over. The medic hadn’t yet cut to chord nor dried the newly born orc, but he understood why Rodrick would want to hold him. He quickly handed the large baby to his birth father, & Rodrick held him close. ¨Hello my little boy…my little king,¨ he whispered to his newborn as it continued to cry. The baby was indeed big, Rodrick felt proud of himself for giving birth & bringing such a behemoth of a baby to this world.

The medic then took the baby from his arms. He cut the thick chord, dried him up, & then weighed him. His eyes widened again, it weighed a whopping 20 lbs! The medic couldn’t imagine what Rodrick was going through carrying this baby orc. He finished it up by wrapping the baby orc in a towel, & then took him to Rodrick. The medic knelt before Rod quickly, & left.

Rodrick looked at his precious newborn, & cherished every second of it. He stroked his son’s hair, which was the same color as his, but he bore a more striking resemblance to his sperm father. But this baby wouldn’t have that father in his life; all he needed was his father who went 10 long months of carrying & delivering him. While he wasn’t the more human-looking son Rodrick had hoped for, he didn’t care anymore for he had such a beautiful baby. ¨What to call you?¨ Rod asked himself thinking of a name. After a few minutes of thinking, he had it, ¨I’ll name you, Abraxas.¨ Abraxas was now quiet & fast asleep. ¨Yes, my son, Abraxas. You are perfect,¨ Rodrick said again & then fell asleep, with his son in his arms. He was beyond tired, & deserved this rest.

A week had passed, & Rodrick’s mother came over to visit him & see her grandchild. Rodrick felt glad she accepted Abraxas as her grandson, as for his father, he hasn’t come back to see him since he last saw him. Rodrick also hasn’t heard from Orlin since either. He wondered whatever happened to him. His mother left ten minutes later, & Rodrick was left alone with his son again.

A few hours more, Rodrick was fixing Abraxas a new diaper when he heard a knock on his door. ¨It’s open!¨ he yelled as he changed his son’s diaper. He then rubbed his belly agian, for it still hurt a bit even after the birth. The doctor told Rodrick that the belly he currently had was an after-belly, & it would go away in about a month or two. The door opened, Orlin walked in. Rodrick had finished putting on the new diaper when he turned & froze on his spot. Orlin was there again. But without a second thought, Rodrick quickly grabbed little Abraxas & held onto him, ¨What do you want?¨      ¨Calm down young warrior. I come here in peace,¨ he stated to Rodrick. Rodrick didn’t believe him, not for a moment. ¨Ok, fine,¨ Orlin said as he grabbed his weapons & threw them out of the house. ¨Now do you believe me?¨ he asked Rodrick, who was holding onto his son.

¨Ok…but, what are you here for? If it’s for Abraxas, then you can’t have him,¨ he stated clearly to the big orc. ¨No, I only came to see my son, & then I´ll leave,¨ Orlin said to the human with all honesty. Rodrick wondered if this man was being serious, after what he did to him, he actually expected for Rodrick to let him see Abraxas just like that? ¨Look, I know you must still hate me for what I did to you, & I know that you won’t forgive me for it anytime soon,¨ he said to Rod slowly approaching him. ¨Ok, you’re right, I won’t forgive you at all for it, but I can say that if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn´t have Abraxas here with me,¨ Rodrick said to Orlin. ¨You are right, if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have my bastard son in your hands right now. And just to let you know, I don’t have any plans to take your throne,¨ Orlin stated.

Rodrick’s eyes widened, so Orlin did know about the throne & the rights he had to it when he put Abraxas in him. ¨Ok, so, if you don’t want my throne or take my son, then what do you want?¨ Rodrick asked calming down a bit. ¨I just want to hold my son, just once, & then I´ll leave,¨ Orlin said to the human. Rodrick wasn’t sure if he could trust him. ¨I’ll give you my word, & I’m an orc of my word,¨ Orlin stated. Rodrick slowly handed Abraxas to his father, & Orlin gently took him in his arms.

Orlin rocked him slowly, smiling, ¨He sure looks a lot like me,¨ he said. ¨Yes, he does,¨ Rodrick replied, wondering if he did the right thing by letting his son get held by Orlin. After a few minutes, Orlin kissed Abraxas on the forehead gently, & handed him back to Rod. As he promised, Orlin left the house. ¨Wait! Orlin!¨ Rodrick called out running to the door. ¨What?¨ Orlin said half way out the door. ¨How did you get past the guards?¨ the human asked out of curiosity. ¨It wasn’t that hard,¨ Orlin replied & left. Rodrick raised his brow & went outside to look. He saw all three guards on the floor, unconscious.

He then looked out for the orc, but wasn’t anywhere in sight. Despite coming in peace, & the promise he made, Rodrick still couldn’t forgive Orlin. All Rodrick was thankfull to Orlin about was giving him such a beautiful son. He walked back into his house, & closed the door.
