Chapter Text
His hands trembled as soon as he heard the news. He was fried.
Carefully, he touched his stomach, completely sure that there was no way he could be pregnant. But, the second he let his fingers touch his belly, he actually felt one of the eggs, moving inside his body. Unsure of what to do with such news, he looked back at his friend. The tall woman, who was known for playing the Queen in one of his famous shows (Duck Dodgers) stared down at him, trying to think about what to say.
-You should tell the other parent- She suggests softly but firmly, making it sound more like an order than a suggestion. When he didn't answer, she decided it was better to continue- I can tell them if you don't want to, but they need to know.
-I tell him- Marvin finally responds, trying his best to stay calm. This isn't going to be an easy task, but he knows he doesn't have another choice.

He slowly walked through the set, staying as far away as possible from any Toons that were performing dangerous activities. He usually wouldn't worry about getting crushed or falling from a cliff, but right now he needed to protect the eggs with all his life. They were much more fragile than him. Finally, he found the famous Bugs Bunny, eating a carrot and reading a script for his next short.
-Hey, what's up, dog?- He asked with his usual smile once the martian moved closer. But, when he noticed the worried look on the other's face, he knew something was off- Is everything OK?
-I wanted to ask you if you could tell the Warners that... I can't continue to work here- Marvin spoke slowly, feeling more embarrassed every second- I come back in a few months, I just need a maternity leave.
There was a akward silence that following the statement. Then, the bunny started laughing crazily, like he just heard the best joke in the world. The rest of the Looney Toons turned around to see them, curious. And to think he wanted to keep the whole thing a secret from the rest.
-You scared me for a second, Marv- Said Bugs the second he stopped giggling, relaxing against the wall. Rolling his eyes, the small alien grabbed the other's hand and left it in his stomach, deciding that just showing him would be easier than explaining. For a few seconds, the rabbit continued smiling, until he felt something strange touching him. Alarmed, he took a step back- What was that?
-That's an egg. I'm carrying three- He answered coldly, trying to ignore the fact that everybody around them was staring. Why couldn't they mind their own business?- Just do me a favor and don't tell anyone.
Before the conversation could continue, the sound of a familiar voice was heard. At the other side of the room, Daffy Duck was speaking loudly with Sylvester about some new short they had to make. Just be seeing him, Marvin started to feel nervous yet again. Should he tell him?
-So, our duck's the father- The rabbit questioned, obviously joking. But, when the martian gave him a nod, the smile that had formed in his face disappeared yet again. For a brief moment he stood there in silence, before continuing- When did this happen and why didn't you tell me?
-Nothing happened, and if something did, it's not of your business- He responded, visibly angry. But his worry was a lot more evident than his hate, and Bugs started to feel a little sorry for the soon-to-be father. After a few seconds, the alien sighed and turned around, preparing to leave- You're friends with Daffy, right? I'm sure he would appreciate if you told him the news.
Once he was outside of the building, the laughs of the duck could be heard. He felt slightly sad over not being the one that told him, but it was for the best. They didn't really had anything more than a rivalry and a one night stand, acting as though the pregnancy changed anything was dumb. As he was entering his spaceship, the door opened yet again, this time to let the famous duck out.
-Marvin, wait!- He ignored the screams, starting to elevate his ship to go back to his house. He didn't really want to hear what the other had to say- Come back, you tiny pest! I'm trying to talk to you!
Without a second thought, the martian pressed a button that activated the cannons, scaring away the father of his kids. He ignored the guilt it caused.
