"Karl, look at me." Aaron demanded. Karl avoided his stare, his body starting to shake at how scared he was. He started biting the inside of cheek to calm his nerves.

"Karl, why didn't you tell me?" Aaron asked, glaring hard at Karl. If stares could hurt a person, Karl would be on the floor crying out in pain. Karl looked in the direction of Aaron but still avoided his eyes.

"Because you said you didn't want a child." Karl spoke, remembering the moment clearly when Aaron said it.

"Yeah, I said that. But you were going to hide it and not get an adortion? How long are you even?" Aaron spoke, the last question was just because he just wanted to know how long he had let Karl stay with him. He didn't care about the child growing inside Karl.

"I'm about seven months already. The only reason why I didn't get is abortion is because one, I wanted to keep this child and two, because this baby isn't even your child and I didn't want to do that to the father." Karl spoke, anger coated the tone of his voice thickly. Aaron clenched his fists tight and gritted his teeth.

"What?" Aaron spoke, his voice flat and having no emotion. Karl rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest and over his bump that stuck out.

"This child isn't even yours." Karl spoke.

"Why would you do that to me, Karl? Who is even the father?"

"It's a guy I work with and we were both sloppy drunk when it happened. I thought you didn't want a child.'

"I'm going to kill that man. I don't. But at least it could have been my child and maybe I would help raise the child."

"You don't make sense. You said why didn't I get an abortion then you said why it wasn't your child. Aaron, we haven't slept together in over a year. How would it be your child?"

"I don't know! You know what?! I'm done. Get the fuck out my house and never come back, bitch." Aaron screamed at Karl. Karl uncrossed his arms and turned on his heels and stomped toward the door.

"Fine by me! I wasn't even planning on coming back here! Bye, you little bitch." Karl mumbled the last sentence to himself as he opened the door and got outside, then slammed it.

"What do I do now?" Karl asked himself as he walked down the sidewalk. Should he tell the father or should he wait until the baby is born or should he just never tell the father. Karl walked by one of his closest friend's houses that weren't in the Mrbeast crew. He saw their car was in the driveway and then he remembered that he told this friend that he was pregnant with one of his friends in the Mrbeast crew. He walked to the door and knocked on it.

"Who ordered another pack-, sorry! It's just Karl! Hi Karl." Ace spoke as he opened the door. Karl giggled and hugged Ace the best he could. He let go of Ace and saw his two other friends in the living room.

"Hey Pres. Hey Den. You guys ordered pizza?" Karl spoke as he sat down next to Den. Den nodded, looking up from his phone. He then put his thumb under Karl's eye and wiped away the tear Karl didn't realize had fallen.

"Dude, what happened? What did Aaron do this time?" Den asked. Karl lowered his head and could feel more tears rise to his eyes. He felt two pairs of arms wrap around him and his head was lowered onto someone's lap.

"I'll get the ice cream!" Pres yelled as he left the living room and returned with a tub of ice cream with four spoons. He placed the tub onto the floor and sat down next to it in front of the couch that Ace, Den, and Karl sat on.

"Now, tell us what Aaron did this time?" Ace asked. Karl sighed and took one of the spoons Pres got and stuck it into the tub of the ice cream. He took a scoop of ice cream and plopped it in his mouth.

"We broke up." Karl spoke with a mouth full of ice cream. He shrugged and placed one of his hands under his abdomen. Den leaned back onto the couch and pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily. Ace ran one of his hands through Karl's hair as he scooped some ice cream out and ate it. Pres placed one of his hands onto Karl's knee and rubbed it.

"Why did this bitch break up with you?" Den asked as he looked at Karl. Karl looked at the ceiling and sighed.

"Because he found out I cheated on him with Jimmy and that I was carrying his child. Actually, I think he broke up with because of this child." Karl spoke, gliding his fingers up and down his swollen abdomen.

"Hasn't he cheated on you before?" Pres asked, dragging his hand up to the top of Karl's stomach and rubbed the top of it. Karl nodded and took another scoop of ice cream and ate it.

"Wasn't it Rachel from health class, then Jessie with the thicc butt, then Drix with a gym problem, then Joe from his work, then Gavin from the store, then Kris with the cat problem, then the model Anna, the people he cheated on you with?" Ace asked, his fist full of Karl's hair. Karl nodded and turned his head to bury in Ace's stomach.

"Hey! You remembered this time!" Pres spoke. Ace chuckled and nodded, while Karl giggled. Den took one of Karl's feet and propped it up onto the armrest of the couch.

"Well, did you tell Jimmy that he was the father of this child?" Den asked. Karl took his face out of Ace's stomach and looked at him and shook his head slowly. Den sighed then Pres slapped his knee.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Ace asked. Karl sighed then took one of his hands and started biting his nails. Ace took his hand away from his mouth and held it so Karl couldn't bite his nails.

"I was going to tell him after the baby was born." Karl spoke, trying to get his hand out of Ace's grip but he had a tight grip on it, so Karl couldn't free his head no matter how hard he tried.

"Alright. You can stay here until you tell the father and if he doesn't want to raise this child, I'll slap him and you can still stay here." Pres spoke. Karl tried to hug all three of them together, so he wrapped one arm around Ace's waist and his other arm around Pres's shoulders then one of his legs around Den's waist.

"Thank you, guys." Karl spoke, starting to feel emotionally again. Ace leaned down and kissed Karl's forehead. Pres smiled at him then laid his head onto Karl's chest. Den propped his other foot onto the armrest of the couch.

"Anything for you, Karl." Den spoke, smiling one of his rare smiles that always brighten the mood and the room up.

________________

Karl paced around the room, his hand rested under his abdomen. Den and Ace sat on his bed and watched him do it. Pres leaned against the wall and watched Karl too. Karl planned on doing a home birth and it may sound risky but Den had experience delivering some babies, so he knew what he was doing. Karl then stopped in his tracks and leaned forward and placed his hands onto the foot of the bed and breathed heavily.

"I don't think he's out of the first stage yet." Ace spoke, looking at Karl with concern. Den nodded and sighed. Pres got behind Karl and held his hips. Karl groaned, then dropped his head onto the mattress. Den instructed Pres to lay him down onto the bed so he could check his dilaton. Karl rested on the foot of the bed and Pres helped hold back his legs as Ace held his hand.

"Is this going to hurt?" Karl asked as his friends put him in that position. Den nodded and Ace kissed Karl's forehead. Karl closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to come. Den stuck his fingers into Karl and Karl arched his back.

"Relax, Karl." Pres whispered. Karl rested his back back onto the mattress. Den stayed quiet as he examined Karl's cervix. He then took his fingers out and sighed.

"You are only about two centimeters." Den spoke. Karl groaned and sat up. Pres let go of his legs and Ace kept holding Karl's hand. Den helped Karl off the bed so he could keep walking.

"This is boring. Want to help me walk around the house?" Karl asked as he placed his hand back under his abdomen. Den nodded and got up off the bed, Ace followed after him. Den and Pres walked out the room, leaving Ace and Karl alone in the room. Ace looked at Karl and Karl nodded. Ace got behind him to make sure he didn't trip. Karl waddled out the room and saw Pres and Den sitting in the barstools by the kitchen counter. Ace slipped past Karl to go join them. Karl started walking around the house, in and out of rooms he had been in hundreds of times. When he walked out of one of the bedrooms and back into the hallway, he leaned against the wall to catch his breath. While he leaned against the wall, he could feel the baby drop lower, towards the birth canal. He winced then grabbed onto a door frame to steady himself and get used to the new position. Den got off his barstool and walked to Karl. He placed his hands onto Karl's shoulders and Karl leaned forward and leaned against Den.

"Pres, come here." Den ordered. Pres got off his barstool and walked over to them. ''Can you hold Karl's hips and just push and pull on them?" Den asked. Pres nodded and then moved so they had more room, Pres placed his hands onto Karl's hips and started pushing and pulling on them. Karl winced, then whined at the moments. It hurt his body so much, he gripped onto Den's shoulders with a bone crushing grip.

"This hurts so much. Why are you doing this to me?" Karl asked. He exhaled out his mouth and closed his eyes as the baby started kicking him.

"Because. You are going to be in bed for two days and it's going to be painful to get out of bed all stiff. This is going to help you move around easier after being in bed all day." Den explained. Karl nodded then whined quietly when he felt the baby inch down closer to the birth canal.

"Can I sit down, please?" Karl whined. Den sighed and nodded. Pres let go of his hips and Den held Karl up by his upper side. He turned Karl around and still kept holding Karl up by his upper sides.

"Do you want to go to the living room or the bedroom?" Den asked. Karl pointed his head towards the living room and held out his hands towards Pres. Pres took his hands into his and they helped Karl get to the couch. Ace transformed the couch to a bed since it was a pullout couch. Pres and Den laid Karl down onto the bed on his side. Karl whined and Pres winced when he noticed Karl's breathing start to speed up.

"Karl? What's wrong? What hurts?" Den asked, kneeling down in front of Karl. Karl wrapped his hands around Den's neck and whined quietly again.

"Want to be held?" Ace asked, brushing Karl's bangs out of his eyes. Karl nodded and Ace got into the bed and went behind him, so Karl's back was against Ace's chest. He wrapped his arms above Karl's stomach. Den took Karl's hands off from around his neck and Karl looked up at him sadly when Den stood up.

"I'm just going to check your dilation before we start cuddling, ok?" Den spoke. Karl nodded and moved his legs back so Den could check him as Karl still laid on his side. Den put his fingers into Karl and Karl cried out.

"I'm sorry." Den spoke, still checking. "Well, you are now 3 centimeters." Den spoke, smiling at Karl when he took his fingers out of Karl. He got in the bed in front of Karl and wrapped his arms under Karl's armpits. Den couldn't get too close to Karl as Karl's stomach was in between them, but Karl didn't mind.

Somehow, all three of them fell asleep in each other arms and Pres just went on his phone, slightly saddened that he couldn't join in their cuddle but he just stayed up just in case Karl started having another fit and the two men cuddling him weren't awake. Just like he expected, Karl woke up with sweat all over his face and his breathing had sped up. He got out of the two men's grip and sat up on the bed, panting.

"Karl?" Pres whispered, as to try and not scare him. Karl curled his legs up and each leg was on the other side of his stomach. He put his head in the space between his knees and groaned. He hugged his arms around his legs and gripped his hands. Pres got up off the floor next to the couch and sat on the bed next to Karl.

"Karl?" Pres asked again, his voice a light higher this time but still low so he wouldn't scare Karl. Karl looked up at Pres and his face was filled with worry and pain. Pres rubbed soothing circles on Karl's back.

"Hurts." Karl whined, laying his head onto Pres's shoulder. Pres sighed and Karl put down his legs. Pres gasped and Karl looked at him with shook then looked in the direction where Pres was looking. He gasped when he saw a huge wet spot by his crotch. Pres shook Den awake after getting over his shock. Den sat up and looked at Karl, then Pres, then back at Karl.

"What's wrong?" Den asked. Pres pointed to Karl's pants and Den looked in the direction where Pres was pointing. He then gasped and looked up at Karl.

"Did your water break or did you go on yourself again?" Den asked.

"My water broke." Karl whispered then fell into silence as he laid his head onto Pres's shoulder. He inhaled sharply then screamed. Ace shot up in the bed and looked at Karl. Pres rubbed Karl's back and Ace massaged Karl's lower back. Karl moaned then screamed again. Den brushed Karl's bangs away from his eyes.

"Den, can you check to see how far dilated I am?" Karl asked, once the contraction faded away. Den nodded and Pres and Ace laid Karl down onto the bed and Karl held back his legs. Den got in between Karl's legs and started checking.

"You are about six centimeters. Four more and you can start pushing." Den spoke as he eased Karl's legs down. Karl groaned and got onto his hands and knees, grunting while he did. Ace got on the bed next to Karl and massaged his upper back. Karl's hands made fist in the bed sheets and moved back and forth gently on his hands and knees.

"This hurts so much. They better be worth it." Karl whispered, then groaned again. Ace moved his hands from Karl's upper back to his lower back. Ace could feel how tight Karl's back muscles were. Pres swept Karl's bangs from his forehead and placed a cold cloth onto Karl's forehead, Karl shivered at first at the coldness but then accepted it as it made his body feel less hot and more relaxed.

"Can I take off my shirt?" Karl asked as he started gasping for air as his shirt felt it was suffocating him and the cool towel wasn't really helping anymore. Ace hummed and Karl got off his hands and just kneeled. Pres took the towel off his forehead and Karl lifted his arms up in the air. Pres took off Karl's shirt, so now he was just in boxers. Karl got back onto his hands and knees and Pres put the towel back on Karl's forehead.

1 hour later

Karl closed his eyes and inhaled a bug breath as Den slipped his fingers into Karl. Ace held Karl's hand as Karl laid on top of Pres. Pres held back Karl's legs so Den could have more room to check.

"Aiden, please stop." Karl whined. People only called Den by his real name when they were mad at him and got really annoyed at him. Den patted Karl's knee and Karl winced when he could feel the baby start to headbutt him.

"Nine centimeters. One more and you can start pushing." Den spoke, taking his finger out of Karl. Karl whined, just wanting to start pushing so this baby could leave his body already. He laid his head onto Pres's shoulder and closed his eyes. He was so tired and he heard that giving birth is the most tiring thing when having a baby. Pres brushed Karl's bangs out his eyes and planted a kiss onto his forehead. This was actually a normal thing between the four of them. They would always cuddle and give each other kisses on the foreheads, cheeks, noses, and even the backs of their hands. They never planned on dating each other, as Ace already had a girlfriend and Pres had a boyfriend since highschool and Den, well Den never wanted to date anyone, fearing that someone was going to break his heart, so he just stayed single.

"Should we call this Jimmy guy to come here and watch the birth of his own child?" Ace asked, once the three of them knew that Karl was out like a light.

"I mean, Karl told us that he was going to tell Jimmy about the child after the baby was born." Pres spoke, his voice low so he wouldn't wake up Karl.

"I feel like we should just ask him and see if he wants to see the birth of his child. What do you think, Den?" Ace protested, then turning his head to look at Den. Den shrugged and started searching for Karl's phone.

"I agree with Ace." Den simply said. He found Karl's phone in one of his pockets in his sweatpants Karl wore early in the morning before knowing that he went into labor. He opened the phone and looked through the contacts before finding a contact with the name Jimmy on it. You might think they were wrong doing this without Karl's permission, but they knew Karl was fine about it. They went through each other's phone, not a lot but only did it if they wanted to play a game on their phone or order food off the other's phone.

"I want to call him." Ace spoke. Den handed the phone to Ace and Ace walked to the other side of the living room to make the call. Ace clicked on the call button and pressed the phone up to his ear. After three rings, Jimmy picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Is this Jimmy?"

"Yes, this is Jimmy. Is this Karl?"

"No, this is not Karl. This is actually Karl's friend, Ace. I want to ask you a question but don't freak out, ok?"

"O....k?"

"Would you like to see the birth of your child?"

"My what?!"

"I told you not to freak out. Man, you are bad at listening to directions. I'm going to say this again and I don't want you to freak out, ok?"

"Ok."

"Would you like to see the birth of your child?"

"Yes, I would like to see the birth of my child that I never knew I had."

"See, that was better. Ok, so Karl's at nine centimeters now and he's probably going to start pushing in the next hour or so, so if you could get your butt over here now, that would be great."

"Ok! I'll be there in about ten or fifteen minutes!"

"That's great! Thank you and goodbye." Ace spoke and hung up. He walked back over to where the others were and placed the phone onto the coffee table. Pres and Den eavesdropped on the conversation and Pres had his mouth wide open and Den pinched his bridge of his nose.

"Close your mouth, Pres before a spider starts crawling in there." Ace spoke. Pres shut his mouth, but just looked at Ace with wide eyes.

"Den, want me to get some Advil?" Ace asked, as he saw Den rub his third eye (it's on the forehead and you rub it if you have a headache.)

"No. Did Jimmy say yes?" Den asked. Ace nodded and grinned to himself. Karl stirred and whined before falling back asleep. Ace went over to Karl and brushed his bangs out his eyes and kissed his forehead.

"Poor baby." Ace whispered as he stood straight up again.

"He's older than you." Pres reminded him. Ace snorted and rolled his eyes.
