Work Text:

Another hardworking day in the Grottan Caves, all seemed fine but at the Nurloc herder residence...

I’m the fastest!!” Bobb’N was now a teenager, growing stronger each day, he now thinks he can best his fathers..

“Bobb’N!.. OOF, easy in there, young one. I think your father is a faster, more experienced than you at the moment.” Mitjan was rubbing his stomach, he was due any day, and Maudra Argot told him to take things easy.

“Aww.. Thank you, my sweet Nurloc.” Lath’N gave his husband a loving look, as he cooed those words.

“Your father speaks true, I’ve had more experience than you. I’ve been apart of the Moss Hunters. I retired after I settled down with your beautiful father.”

“Lath’N, we have some special visitors.” Mitjan pointed to the door. In the door way stood Eiria, Fenth, and their kids.

“Hi, Mom, and Papa.” Eiria was embarrassed, and nervous.

“Sorry to interrupt your day, but Jiri burned down our tent. Dad doesn’t have room for us, who can blame him. You were the only person I can think of who would let us stay here until our tent is mended.”

“I will be glad to have your family stay here, however, Your husband doesn’t seem pleased about being here.” Mitjan looked, at Fenth, who was very uncomfortable, and nervous about being here.

“Fenth? Is something wrong, Sweetheart? You dislike my family?” Eiria was confused, and hurting a bit.

“No.” Fenth was not amused.

Then what is the matter? Why are you upset?” Eiria was still confused, trying to find an answer.

I’m terrified of caves, because I’m Transgender, men try to make out with me!!”Fenth’s eyes went wide, he realized that he revealed his personal secret. He cowered down, embarrassed.

“Fenth, do you think I come from straight parents? I come from Transgender parents, I’m proud to be your wife. And I love you, no matter what.” Eiria was now down next to him, cuddling him.

“Wow, this place is awesome.” Feath exclaimed, with wide eyes.

“Is this where you live, Uncle Bobb’N?”

“Yeah? Why are you so into this place?” Bobb’n was still upset about earlier.

“Bobb’N, he’s curious. It’s his first time down here. May you please show him around, nicely?” Mitjan motioned for Bobb’N to go.

“Ugghh... Why can’t Deet show him around?”
Bobb’N wanted to stay with the adults.

“Because Deet has her own children to worry about, now go.” Lath’N finally got Bobb’N to get going.

However Bobb’N forgot something,

“I forgot hugs!” He ran back inside, and hugged his fathers. But as he did that he accidentally scratched Mitjan on his arm.

“BOBB’N!!! THAT HURT!!” Mitjan held his own arm, Lath’N went to got get some gauze. Eiria finished seeing Bobb’N off.

“I know you didn’t mean it, but why don’t you go head and show Feath around?” Bobb’N started crying, he ran out the door. Lath’N came back, but saw Bobb’N had left.

“Mitjan, Bobb’N didn’t meant to hurt you. He was trying to give you a hug.” Mitjan realized his mistake.

“I’m sorry! It just hurted so bad!” Mitjan sobbed in his hands.

 

“I know, dear, I know.” Lath’N rubbed his beloved’s back. Cuddling him back and forth.

In the Caves of Grot, Mitjan is picking Glow Moss...

 

“I shouldn’t of yelled at Bobb’N, he only wanted to give me a hug.” Mitjan kept picking Glow Moss.

“I’ll apologize to him when I return home.” Nudge, the family Nurloc, was guarding the hole Mitjan was. As it was Hollerbat season, and Nudge knew the drill.

“If only.. Ahhkk..” Mitjan was in excruciating pain, his water broke..

“NUDGE!!! GO GET LATH’N, NOW!!!” Mitjan pointed home, and Nudge went immediately to get his other owner.

“Your father is not mad at you, it just hurted a little more since he is more sensitive. He loves you just the same.” Lath’N patted his son on the back, still with a loving tone.

“I just wanted to give him goodbye hugs. I’m sorry!” Bobb’N started crying, he truly didn’t mean it.

“I know that son, but maybe next time just clip your nails. Just for the sake of your father.” Lath’N pointed to his son’s long unkempt nails, he started chuckling when Bobb’N started doing his little funny act.

“I’ll do my best, but I can’t guarantee you that they will look good.” Bobb’N just smiled at his father.

“Atta bo...” Lath’N stopped short when he saw Nudge outside, Eiria followed him.

“NUDGE?!?! WHERE’S MITJAN?!?!”
Lath’N started panicking, it was unlikely for Nudge to return home by himself. Something is not right. Nudge bellowed, and luckily, Bobb’N understands what he is saying.

“Father is in labor near the Glow Moss pasture, in the 3rd tunnel to the right.” Everyone was impressed with Bobb’N’s talent, even Lath’N was impressed. But that wasn’t important right now..

“As much as I am impressed, and proud of you, we need to get to your father, immediately.” Lath’N was panicking, nervous, and upset. He was not going to leave his husband in a cave alone, and in labor.

————————————————————————
“LATH’N!!! Mitjan tried very hard not to push, he was hoping his husband can hear him. He tried to stay awake, but he almost passed out. He massaged his stomach, trying to soothe the young one who was ready to come out.

“Please, It’s not time yet, hold on.” Mitjan was still calm, even in this tough time.

“I want you to be born at home, not here in this tunnel. So hold in there until then.” Everything then went black as he lost consciousness.

“MITJAN!!!!” Lath’N was riding Nudge, with Bobb’N behind him, as he looked around for his beloved.

“EIRIA!!! DID YOU FIND HIM YET??!!” Lath’N looked up at his stepdaughter, who had also joined the long search.

“YEAH!! HE’S OVER THERE!!!” Eiria pointed to the tunnel Mitjan was in.

“MITJAN?!?!” Lath’N entered the dark tunnel, what he saw terrified him, and brought him into tears. There were Hollerbats, and they were trying to eat Mitjan.

“SHOO, GET AWAY FROM MY LOVE!!” Lath’N frantically tried to get them away from his pregnant mate, but to no avail.

“FATHER! YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO USE A SMOKE BOMB, TO GET THEM TO LEAVE!!!”
Bobb’N threw his father his satchel full of smoke bombs. He pulled a smoke bomb out and threw it in the Hollerbats’s general direction. They screeched at the effects of the smoke bombs, flying off, far way, to wait for another day.

Grottan residences, Nurloc Herder residence..

“WAAH!!” The cries echoed in the small home as Maudra Argot cleaned him. Lath’N was happy, and thrilled. He looked at the freshly born child as he yawned to sleep. Maudra Argot wrapped the young one in a Nurloc rump blanket.

“He is a healthy...” The little one grabbed Lath’N’s pointer finger, and tried sucking on it.

“And strong, just like his father.” Lath’N held the sleeping newborn, he saw the similarities the little one, and Mitjan had. Mitjan was sound asleep as he had a very rough night. However the little one wasn’t asleep for long. He started to cry, waking poor Mitjan up.

“Hand him to me.” Mitjan had both his arms out, as his husband handed their newborn son to him. He proceeded to nurse the child, sometimes he missed doing until today.

“What are we going to name our precious child?” Mitjan was wincing as the newborn sucked on him. Lath’N pondered on that.

“Hmm. That’s a good question, Hmm..” Fenth spoke up, he had a name suggestion.

“How about the name Chloe’N? It seems to suit him very well.” Fenth looked at the child, understanding how naming children work in this clan. Lath’N and Mitjan both gave Fenth a satisfied look.

“I actually really like that name. What do you think, Sweetheart? My Sweet Nurloc?” Mitjan waved his hand in Lath’N’s face, then snapped when waving didn’t get his attention.

“Huh? Oh, yes. I love the name as well. I’m just impressed with Bobb’N, his own skills and talents helped me rescue you from the Hollerbats.” Lath’N pointed to Bobb’N, he had a proud face.

“Bobb’N, Come here, please.” Mitjan motioned for him to come over.

“Yes, Father?” Bobb’N trembled, he was afraid of what will happen. When he looked at his father, he saw that he had a shameful expression.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t of yelled at you, I know you meant well. It just hurt worse for me. Please forgive me.” Mitjan was tearing up, but he had a smile on his face, knowing that his family is safe. Bobb’N started wailing, he went ahead and hugged his father for the second time today, as the recovering Grottan tried to hug his son back. Fenth was moved, he realized that they were the more excepting family, who accept him as part of the family. Eiria noticed that her husband was crying, she brought him into a much needed hug, which resulted in a loving kiss.

“Bleh...” the kiss was interrupted by their youngest son, Ishmael, was disgusted. Fenth bursted into laughter, he laughed so hard he almost peed himself.

“Hi Chloe’N” Mitjan and Lath’N stared lovingly at their newborn son as he opened his eyes for the first time. After a little bit, Chloe’N just cuddled on his mother’s bare chest, and fell back asleep.

“Mom?” Eiria walked forward to where her mother, and stepfather are, a little bit nervous.

“Yes, Eiria?” Mitjan looked at his daughter confused, what could she possibly want?

“Can Chloe’N call you and Papa, Mommy and Daddy? Just so that way you two don’t have to keep getting confused?” Eiria truly did not want her parents life to be anymore difficult.

But that is clearly up to them.
