Holding up the stick and seeing the two lines forming, Branch started to break down “I -I can't believe I’m pregnant with h-his child!” Branch yelled out as he started to tear up, Branch curled up on the floor of his bathroom caressing his stomach wondering how he would tell his baby’s father.
“Ugh” Branch groaned as he sat up “i cant believe i slept on the bathroom floor, how gross” Branch got up and went out to get ready, he put a baggy shirt on and some low rise shorts.
Walking out the door Branch walked down to the market to buy some food before confronting his boyfriend.
“Hey Branch!” Turning around Branch sees poppy waving with her big smile “ oh…hey poppy” Branch says with a tired tone.
“Are you okay branch I’ve noticed you have been more tired and you gained some weight” poppy points at his stomach that shows his stomach poking out.
“Uh I’m just tired from making a new invention that includes food i guess” Branch branch lies effortlessly “oh okay can’t wait to see the finished product” poppy says as she hops away.
Branch checks out and runs back home “ugh i don't know how to tell him” Branch says in a sad tone as tears start forming in his eyes,but right as he turns around Steve Harrington storms in looking mad “ HAVE YOU BEEN FUCKING SOMEONE BEHIND MY BACK!!” Steve yells.
Branch stumbles back, holding his stomach he hits the ground, looking up he stares Steve in the eyes holding back tears
“I -I dont K-know what you're talking about” Branch stutters trying not to cry.
“ THE OTHER TROLL HAVE BEEN SAYING YOUR CHEATING ON ME WITH ANOTHER WHORE”
Branch looked at Steve for a while then broke out crying “IM FUCKING PREGNANT WITH YOUR BABY” Branch yelled at Steve before breaking down, grabbing his hair snd sobbing.
“W-what” Steve ran up and started to hold Branch trying to calm him down.
“Im s-sorry i couldn't tell you” branch says after calming down a bit, Steve holds him in his arms and starts caressing Branches big stomach “I’m so sorry i just don’t want to loose you to another guy who has better hair than me” Steve says looking away from Branch.
“Oh honey i could never love anyone else, no one has better hair than you” Branch grabs Steve’s face and kisses it.
In the middle of the night as Branch and Steve are sleeping peacefully, Branch's stomach starts hurting making him start to silently grunt while holding his stomach.
Steve wakes up and immediately got Branch out of bed and throws a night gown over Branch's gold lingerie.
Carrying Branch out of his house trying to avoid his neighbours, throwing Branch in the backseat Steve starts the car to drive to the hospital “AHHHHHGHN” Branch screams “it’s okay we’ll get to the hospital soon just hold on” Steve raises his voice to calm Branch.
“IT'S COMING,THE BABY'S COMING” Branch screams as he grips the car seat and the handle above him.
Once at the hospital Steve rushes Branch inside yelling for doctors” Doctor! I need a doctor” A doctor runs up and takes Branch to a room which starts to fill up with nurses and other doctors “oh long has he been pregnant” a doctor asks steve.
“uh ah i don’t know i think the babys coming!” Steve starts to raise his voice as doctors ask him to sit down and stay out of the way.
Branch starts to yell as doctors start yelling at him to push “PUSH COME ON YOU CAN DO IT” doctors start yelling as Branch starts yelling louder.
Steve is sitting outside the room biting his fingernails until a doctor comes out to tell him the news.
Your boyfriend has given birth to a beautiful baby boy.
Steve starts crying and running into the room “oh my baby” Steve says as he sees Branch holding the baby looking tired.
“Hey honey” Branch says with all his strength, “what’s his name” Steve says with a huge smile.
“Stranch” it’s our name, combined, Branch a small smile…
In the distance someone’s watching with gold binoculars… It's Trump.
His whole life he’s wanted to be with Steve, if it weren’t for that baby the rumours he placed would have worked out and Steve would be all his.
Sadly…nothing goes Trumps way, that’s why he’s found another way to get Steve.
He’s going to kill that baby and blame Branch.
“Steve is MINE” Trump whispers.
While Steve is sleeping in a chair next to Branch, Branch was sleeping peacefully “how cute” Trump whispers as he tiptoes to the baby sleeping next to them.
As Trump brings his tiny hands up to the baby’s throat he thinks about how long he’s been stalking them, how cute Steve is, his perfect hair.
While Trump was daydreaming about Steve and his life together Branch woke up from Trump's not so quiet footsteps.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING” Branch yells loud enough for a doctor to run in and for Steve to wake up.
Branch stared and Trump before running over even if it hurt and pushed Trump away.
Steve ran over and grabbed the baby to protect it “what are you doing, who are you” Steve said moving his arms to keep the baby further away.
“I -I’m IM SUPPOSED TO BE WITH YOU INSTEAD, NOT HIM” Trump yelled as the doctor called security, Branch was sitting on Trump holding him in place.
“What?” Steve Said, sounding a bit disgusted.
“H-heh I’ve been w-watching you, I’m supposed to be pregnant with your baby not that troll” Trump said troll like it was a slur making Steve even more mad.
“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, I WOULD NEVER LOVE A UGLY ORANGE MAN LIKE YOU” Steve said obviously disgusted.
After Trump got sentenced to public execution, Steve and Branch get to pick how and they get front seats.
“Okay what execution do you pick for him” the executioner said, Branch and Steve looked at each other and said with a stern expression “peel his skin off and take his eyeballs out”.
Two hours later Trump was hanging upside down yelling about how he’s supposed to be with Steve and how Branch is a nobody.
An hour after that Steve and Branch were at a party with their new baby showing him off and allowing poppy to paint the baby’s nursery.
Finally Steve and Branch sit on their couch with their baby sleeping in his crib, “ i love you Steve Harrington” Branch says looking at Steve “ i love you too Branch” Steve says leaning in and kissing Branch happy they can live in peace now that that orange is gone…
