Then again, Bloodymary is a ship that materialized out of nowhere, so let me have my fun.

So in an imagery world where everything is perfect, Bloodymary decide to have a child. Now wether this is a situation where they're both cis men or transmac, I feel like Grace would be the one to be pregnant. At first I thought it should be Simon due to his bigger built and wider hips, but the more I thought of it, I decided that Simon had already been through enough body horror in the blood ocean so I think pregnancy and birth would be pretty traumatic for him, and Grace wouldn't want him to endure that. Plus, Grace is a scientist and he would record his pregnancy with a scientific interest, and he would definitely let the Eridian scientists run (harmless) experiments to him to him since human birth would be absolutely fascinated to them.

Now, I don't think Simon has ever met anyone pregnant, since I imagine the condition in Eden were too stressful for a pregnancy to carry on, and a baby would require too many resources so pregnant women would use the good ol' hanger technique, so Simon wouldn't know a thing about pregnancy and he would follow his instincts. That being said, he would be so gentle with Grace. He would rub his back when he would have morning sickness, rub his sore feet, cook him meals, substitute him in class. He's frantically skimming over Wikipedia pages about how to help pregnancy women.

And bc I just had to include him, Rocky. He's definitely the reason Grace and Simon found out Grace is pregnant bc he could hear the second heartbeat from Grace. He's probably somehow more anxious than Simon, bc the concept of human pregnancy sounds so terrifying, fym that tiny human is growing inside of Grace and it's causing so much discomfort and is the reason his body is changing in such way??? Humans so inefficient, they can't even procreate right!!!

Then the dreaded day comes. The birth. Now, I imagine since the Eridian scientists/doctors had 9 months to prepare, they would perform a C-section on Grace. I think Grace's hips are too narrow to push the baby out, and there's so many things that could go wrong, at least a C-section would create a more controlled environment (idk, I'm not an expert, I'm just going by what I know from my mother who had me with a C-section). Simon would be more nervous than Grace, he would be holding his hand and be so attentive to him. And going off of the idea that Grace is having a C-section, he would be so chill. Which is surprising, considering normally he's a nervous mess. But he's put scientist mode on and he's asking the doctors questions or just chatting. "Simon, you're hurting my hand."

Then they have the baby. The Eridian scientists are in awe at how much softer and squishier and leakier human babies are. Grace is holding the baby again him, he's crying bc he's always been a crier and that's his baby, then after the baby is all cleaned up and sleeping, Simon holds it. I don't think he's ever met an actual baby before, and that's his baby, the one his husband carried, his very own leaky space blob (damn you Rocky). And, well, he cries. He normally hates crying, he only cries during his nightmares, but this time he couldn't care. He's holding his baby and he's crying and he didn't know it was ever possible to love someone so much after Grace.
