Voltron: Legendary Defender Oneshots

Keith x Pregnant! Reader: Mood Swings

Requested by.... @_Levi_Heichou_RP    This takes place after Keith becomes the black paladin.

~~~~~~~~~~~

     When you and Keith found out you were pregnant it was a surprise. You weren't expecting to become pregnant, especially in the middle of a war. And you two were still so young, both of you being only eighteen. None the less you and Keith were still overjoyed at the fact that you were going to have a baby. Though both of you still had your doubts on how good of parents you'd be.

     Out of the two of you Keith was the most worried.  Not only was he a paladin of Voltron and had to go on missions, but he was the leader with Shiro's absence. Everyone looked to him for instruction, causing him to be stressed and worried he'd make the wrong choice. Keith was afraid something might happen to him that would leave you alone to take care of his unborn child. Even worse, he was afraid something might happen to you, causing the loss of both you and your child. That's why he immediately made it so you couldn't do any fighting what so ever. On top of all these worries he was afraid he wouldn't be a good father, seeing as his father was absent from his life for so long.  Keith was so afraid of screwing up as a father he asked Lance for advice, seeing that he has so many siblings and seen his brothers become fathers. 

     Not soon after the discovery of your pregnancy were you banned from fighting and anything that could in anyway hurt you. Which even meant you were banned from cooking and baking, one of your favorite pass times.  When you asked Keith why you couldn't do either of those this was his reply. "What do you mean cooking and baking is harmless?! When cooking you could cut yourself with a knife! And when your baking or cooking you could burn yourself!"

     At first you thought his worrying over you was adorable, but it quickly became annoying. When venting to Allura about this one day she said something that changed your whole perspective of what you thought was annoying and useless. "You may think that all this is annoying and useless, but to Keith it's none of that. He's worried and scared, you're both so young and this is his first child. Not only that, but he has the stress of being a paladin and leading Voltron. Just try and understand that, okay? He's just doing what he thinks is best for you and the baby." Allura had said, and you had suddenly understood his worry.

       With pregnancy often comes morning sickness, food cravings, back and feet pain, and mood swings. Keith could handle waking up early in the beginning of your pregnancy for your morning sickness. He could handle your strange food cravings, some of the foods and combinations you would never had eaten if not pregnant. He could handle Lance teaching him how to massage feet and give back rubs so you wouldn't have to be constantly in pain. But what Keith couldn't handle was your mood swings that occurred later in your pregnancy. It was like your period on steroids. One moment you'd be normal, then you'd be beyond pissed, then sadder than sad, and then you'd be happier than a dog given a bone. When your mood swings came all Keith wanted to do was run and hide, but he knew that wouldn't help anything, he loved you too much to do that anyway.

     Keith wanted nothing more than to be somewhere else right now, especially since he's not the best when it comes to comforting. You are currently crying because you've become "fat", it's as though you've momentarily forgot that there is a child growing within your stomach, technically womb but who cares. Any moment now you're mood is probably going to make a swing for the worst.

     "(Y/n), it's okay, you're not fat." Keith reassured, going to wrap an arm around your shoulders. "Don't lie to me! God, you're just like every other male in the universe! Lying just to save his own neck!" You snapped, causing Keith to jump and stumble out of your reach, afraid of a harsh smack you might give out. "I-I'm not lying- I promise. You're really not fat, I swear." He stuttered, putting his hands out in front of himself to show he's not trying to start a fight. "UGH!" You groaned then stormed out of the room.

     "Well, that went better than expected, and I really do mean that." Lance said, walking into the room from the other entrance. Keith heaved a sigh, rubbing his face. "What am I doing wrong?" He asked, looking towards Lance. "Nothing, there's not much you can do but pray things go well when a pregnant woman goes through mood swings.  Although, sometimes it's better to just agree with them, but then again sometimes that can get you into trouble. I'm sorry I'm not much help. I promise things will get easier though, especially if you end up having another one." Lance promised, placing a reassuring hand on Keith's shoulder. "KEITH!" Came a emotional sob and rapid footsteps. "That would be my cue to leave. See ya buddy." Lance said before speeding out of the room.

     Right as Lance left you ran in, only stopping when you were clinging to Keith. "I'm so sorry Keith! What I said was terrible! I should have believe you!" You wailed, crying into his chest. Keith sighed and wrapped his arms around you. "It's okay, it's not your fault." He said, rubbing your back. "I love you." You sniffled, snuggling into his chest. "I love you too." Keith said, kissing the top of your head. He could handle this, after all there was only about three more months of your pregnancy, he hoped he could at least.
