Fragment
Kind of "What would happen if Mio somehow got pregnant in CFUD". I'd love for it to be a round robin, but I have a suspicion that I would have about as much luck as the last two I tried to start.
Mio stared at the doctor in shock after she'd been told the news. She was glad that nobody had accompanied her to the hospital, so nobody was there to know.
She'd have to be careful, she knew. She was a bit more vulnerable in this state and she had a new life to look after - but she could look after it herself. If Wataru-san and Ryoutarou-san and Taiga knew about it, she'd spend the next 18 months being treated as if she were made of glass.
Which she was, kind of, and had once shattered, but still, she wasn't that fragile. She was Queen - she could take care of herself.
If Taiga knew, there would be more frequent Sagarc check-ins and more frequent visits. If Ryoutarou-san knew, he and Airi-san would be checking up on her a lot.
And Wataru-san would worry, and Wataru-san didn't need to worry.
She didn't even know who the father was, so she didn't have to tell anyone. At least until they could figure out who the child's father would be.
Holding her hand to her stomach, she walked out of the doctor's office.

It wasn't at all surprising when Taiga showed up; he was always concerned about her health and when she wanted to talk to him, he always made an effort to make an appearance. "What's wrong, Mio?" he asked, brow furrowed in concern.
"I... I... I...." She couldn't get past the first word for a few minutes, then she took a deep breath. "I-I'm pregnant, Taiga...."
"Pregnant? How?" Taiga asked. He held her close. "Are you sure?"
She nodded. "The doctor confirmed it... um, last week. I don't know how I got pregnant, but I am, and I'm scared and I don't know who the father is...."
"You know I'll support you, Mio. Always." He squeezed her tightly, and then let go. "How's the child?"
"So far, healthy...." Mio took a deep breath. "And developing normally for a Fangire...."
Which probably meant the father had Fangire blood too, and there were only two people in Camp with that blood. One of them was sitting there beside her.
Taiga's smile was enough to brighten the room. "Congratulations. Have you talked to Peter-san about stepping up your feedings? And I'll go to mother for advice... she knows a lot about pregnancy... Wataru and Ryoutarou should know too...."
Mio cringed. "Please, Taiga," Mio said, "Your mother will think I'm some kind of whore trying to get at you, and you know that Wataru-san will be so worried...."
"But she's the one that knows more about pregnancy than anybody else here," Taiga said. "Don't worry, Mio, you don't have to talk to her. Just listen to her advice."
Mio wished that it was that simple.
