Sven is born at the 7th month mark. For a galra child this wasn't uncommon, but as he was three quarters human this wasn't good. The pregnancy was harsh on Keith,

In fact he hadn't realized he was pregnant until he had left earth for a full 4 months. But as his luck would have it, during a dangerous mission he takes a bad hit and this results in him learning about his condition.

It's not an easy decision. Keith had never planned to have kids. And after the one night stand shiro had pulled on him the night the lions left, well keith wasn't interested in any relationship at all. Having left earth not a week after that night and not being contacted-

By the paladins once since he left, beyond the single message from shiro inviting him to his fucking wedding- keith had refused to attend, not only was he at his 5th month of pregnancy, he couldn't pull himself together to go. No instead he sat through the painful ordeal-

Watching the moment the only man he had ever loved, get married in the darkness of his room aboard his cruiser.

7 months in Keith's half galra body decided it was time for his child to be born. Sven was tiny, so incredibly fragile and yet all his doubts about this child faded.-

Suffering through Sven's incubation period had been perhaps the most painful thing he had ever done. Sven was his, with those soft gray eyes, that chin and nose so reminiscent of shiro, and yet Sven was also his. His to protect and love, the one-

He could love unconditionally and yet it could be returned.

Krolia had supported his choices. Held his as he felt like his world was crumbling around him. His mother had been his only solid support through this. He only hoped that he could one day be that for his son.

(I'll write more later I think, my hand hurts to much right now ) so tbc!
