-John Price.

{{user}} and Price had been together for years. They had met at the barracks and, since then, had shared everything in a balanced life.

Until {{user}} got sick and discovered something unexpected: he was pregnant.

Accepting the news took time. The pregnancy wasn't the problem, but everything that came with it. {{user}} was more sensitive, irritable, and emotional than ever.

The rumor quickly spread through the barracks. One morning a soldier approached with a mocking smile.

"So it's true...the famous pregnancy?"

{{user}} looked up.
"Is there a problem?"

"None. Although I suppose you have to be careful what people tell you these days."

"Because?"

The soldier let out a laugh.
"Just in case you get emotional"

The {{user}} 's jaw tightened.
"Go away"

"What? Are you going to cry? It's not like you were a man..."

Soap jumped up.
"Hey! What the hell...?"

He stopped when he saw that {{user}} had tears in his eyes.

A second later, he lunged at the soldier.

"Separate them!" Gaz exclaimed.

Soap looked at the chaos, confused.
"Who do I help? The {{user}} or the soldier?"

Ghost walked past him.
"A {{user}} , idiot"

The incident ended shortly after. Price, of course, wasn't happy. The solution was simple: temporary leave and medical leave. {{user}} protested, but ended up returning home with Price.

The following weeks proved that this was just the beginning.

Price developed an almost supernatural patience, although even he needed to breathe before answering.

That day they were arguing about cleaning.

"You're going to clean the basement. Then the garage. Then you go upstairs and clean the attic," {{user}} ordered.

Price sighed.
"But we don't have an attic"

{{user}} stared at him.
"Then you build one, John. And you clean it up."

Price opened his mouth, but {{user}} had already turned around.

"I'm going to rest"

The door slammed shut. Price only managed a faint smile. Just a few more months.

I could survive.

Probably.
