The pregnancy progressed and Glenn found himself getting more and more clumsy. If he wasn't sneezing apart his flower arrangements then he was almost slipping in puddles. Silver did try and fix whatever plumbing he broke but he often forgot about the water left behind. Luckily Glenn had been taught a quick spell to dissipate the water.

Eventually Glenn relented to the werewolf's pleading and stopped going for runs. He found a good number of work out videos he could do with little stress. Well, little stress at the start. As he got rounder and rounder the same workouts got harder and harder.

Silver seemed to get more protective as time passed. He wouldn't stop Glenn visiting friends or having friends come and visit but the werewolf started staying closer to the house. He did all his workouts inside where he could be easily reached if Glenn needed help for anything. What do you know, getting up off the floor while pregnant? Actually difficult.

Glenn began to stock up on potions of plentiful needs, he loved food but sometimes a potion to fix an empty belly or a sleepless night was needed. He also figured that when the baby was born he and Silver might well be to busy for woohoo, if he could even have it without being in pain. It made sense to brew potions that would help them get through while he could.

Sure, Ophelia was a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but she was Glenn's friend. So he and Silver began taking more time to talk to Oakley about what was happening in the house and in the world. If Oakley could actually understand he was bound to appreciate the insight. If he didn't understand, well what was the harm?

Silver: I'm so excited to meet our kid

Glenn: Yeah, me to Beefcake

Silver: What do you think they'll be like

Glenn: Honestly? I have no clue. From the sounds of the tests and imaging, they're pretty adaptable

The due date neared and Silver took Glenn on one last date to the local pub while they were simply two and not three. They were both excited to meet their kid but didn't want to risk forgetting what they had together as a couple. Before they knew it they were in a sterile room getting ready for the caesarean.

Glenn: You don't mind that I wanted to wait until they were born before we got married? I swear I am going to marry you

Silver: I know Babycakes. Just breathe and sway with me

Glenn: If I don't have a cervix why does it hurt so much

Silver: Miranda said it looks like the womb sack is migrating closer to the surface to make delivery easier. So things are still moving inside you, that's got to hurt

The procedure was pretty straight forward in the end, much like the ones male werewolves had. Glenn and Silver had their first kid. It turned out that the imaging issues were due to them being intersex. Deciding to follow Ophelia's comment that they hadn't decided who they wanted to be yet the dad's decided to treat their newborn as non-binary until they could indicate their preference.

Eden Sutherland joined the household

To say the two men were proud of their kid was an understatement.

Glenn: Papa has planted some veges here, right by your crib, so you can have some outside even if you can't go outside yet

Silver: They don't have bugs do they

Glenn: Did you hear that Eden? Your Daddy thinks bugs on indoor plants are bad. Don't you want to get nice and big so you can correct him

Silver: Don't start ganging up on me before they can even talk

Glenn: Do you want to hold our tadpole while I sort dinner

Silver: Oh yes, come to Daddy little froggy

Glenn: You know, some frogs can change their sex

Silver: They can?

Glenn: Yeah so froggy and tadpole are good nicknames for Eden

Silver: Biology classes have progressed since I grew up

Glenn: Oh no, I learnt that from Jurassic Park

The first few days of having Eden in the house were a breeze. Glenn had made enough plentiful needs potions that both he and Silver could spend the majority of their time looking after or just watching Eden.

Silver watched Glenn lift their young infant close. Snuggling Eden, Glenn kissed their head, then began the bed time story.

Once upon a time a lonely wizard dreamed of ever after. He applied for a contest far far away that his fairy godmother had said would lead to true love. She was right, he did find love, but it wasn't to be. The wizard fell into a deep dark gloom, full of clouds and ice cream when he narrowly missed out on what he assumed was his treasure.

Luckily he returned to his kind grandfather, and a marvelous coven of spellcasters. Some were sweet, some were sour, but together they helped the wizard heal. Then one lucky day by the magic river where the treefish swam, the wizard met his very own prince, a wolf prince. The wolf had seen the wizard from afar when he was in the competition, and was compelled to meet him.

Despite challenges and obstacles, the wizard and wolf felt they were meant to be together. Time passed and their love grew. It grew so big they couldn't ignore it, and decided to embrace it. The fairy godmother was right, the competition had led the wizard to his true love. The wolf prince was always the treasure the wizard was destined to find.

What the wizard didn't know was the prince wouldn't be his only gift from the watcher. He and the wolf prince had a child, a beautiful frog they promised to love forever. When they brought that froggy home... the wizard knew he had found his happily ever after.

This concludes the main story of Growing With Glenn. Thank you for following along, I hope you enjoyed it. I love these two and their tadpole. This story would not have been possible without Silver gifted by @cawthorntales and the lore he created. The family will appear here and there throughout the year, they still have to get married after all. For now they are on hiatus while the BC runs.
