Gone were the days of childhood for the teletubbies, and while they weren't kids anymore and didn't play like that anymore, their house was bigger, but they still lived together.

Tinky Winky looked over at Po, who was sleeping next to him. Her belly was starting to get round as the baby she carried grew bigger. At the same time, he was eager to become a father, but he was also worried, would he make a good father, could he be there for Po when it was finally time for her to give birth? What if he fainted or vomited and had to leave, leaving poor Po to give birth alone? He remembered well the days when poor Po frequently visited the toilet, as she had just vomited up the Teletubby custard and sometimes the Tubby Toast. Then she would start crying. He would bring some water and a rag. Laa-Laa then made something to help Po, and although she was still vomiting, it wasn't as bad, allowing her to keep most of the food down. Tinky kissed Po's belly. He then got up, walked outside, and leaned against the wall of their house. While he couldn't put his foot on it, something worried him, and that worried him something even more. He sighed and, placing a hand on his forehead, then he heard a cry; it was Po.

"Tinky Winky, where are you?"

He rushed back inside and over towards Po.

"Hey, I'm here, I'm fine, you're going to be fine.

"When I...woke...up..and...you..wern't ...here...I..thought..maybe you...were..using..the..toilet..but you weren't there...so I thought perhaps you got hungry but but.....

"Just breathe, Po, that's it, nice and slow."

"What's going on?" came two groggy voices, followed by Noo-Noo

"I couldn't sleep, so I stepped outside, and Po woke up and couldn't find me and panicked a bit, sorry we woke you two up."

Laa-Laa walked over towards Po and hugged her

"It's okay, Tinky Winky, we understand."

Tinky Winky yawned

"I think we all should get some sleep."

The others agreed, and after Dipsy and Laa-Laa went back to bed, Tinky Winky lay next to Po, and Po lay on his chest. Noo-Noo moved over towards Po's side of the bed, got comfortable in the corner, and went to sleep.

"I love you, Tinky Winky."

"Love you more"

Not long after, Po was sleeping like a baby in Tinky Winky's arms. He laid her down carefully next to him and went to sleep himself going off into the dreamworld.

Tinky Winky looked around, wondering where he was. he seemed to be in some healthcare place. He walked around trying to figure out where he was. He stopped when he heard a scream. To him, it sounded like Po. While running, he searched until he came across a door a big glass window was beside it. He looked through the window and saw Po lying on a bed, strapped down to the bed, her face soaked with tears.

"Po, hang on!"

Tinky Winky tried opening the door, but it seemed to be locked. After not having any luck with the door, he went back to the window. A long-clawed figure stood over Po.

Tinky Winky heard Po wimper in fear.

"Hey, get away from her."

The figure ignored Tinky Winky, not paying him any mind. Tinky Winky pounded on the window.

"Stop hurting her."

Po's blood started dripping on the floor.

" I said STOP."

Twinky Winky continued to bang on the window, then all of a sudden, his hands hit air. Now he was standing over Po, relief flooded Tinky Winky's mind until he saw Po's face, when she saw him, she started crying and struggled trying to get away from him.

"Po, it's me, Tinky Winky," he started to say, but stopped when he noticed that his hands were covered in blood. Po's blood dripped onto the floor from his hands as he stood in horror.

"What... No?" Tinky Winky yelled. He backed up into a curtain, getting tangled in it.

When he finally got untangled, he noticed he was back in his bed inside the teletubby dome house. He looked down at his hands, no blood, he sighed with relief, it was just a nightmare.
He got up and walking towards the dining area, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po were already sitting with Tubby Custard and Tubby Toast. Tinky Winky sat next to Po, and she smiled at him.

"You okay, Tinky?"

"Um, well,l I..."

"Tinky?" Po said as she got up and placed a hand on him.

"It wasn't anything, just a bad dream."

"Oh, okay, don't forget we are here if you need us."

"Thanks!"

Po hugged Tinky, and Tinky hoped this was the last time for any more dreams like that.

After breakfast, Po, Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa, and Dipsy got ready for a picnic. It was a nice sunny day, and the Teletubbies were intent on enjoying as much of the day as they could.

"Okay, let's see here, picnic basket, picnic Blanket, sun umbrella, chairs, picnic table, Pillows and blankets, food in a well-insulated tote, and a few other things. That's everything." Laa-Laa said as she read off the list.

"Okay, if we're ready, let's go," Dipsy said

After finding a nice spot, they set up. Tinky Winky pulled his chair as close as he could to Po's chair. While the teletubbies were enjoying their food, Po gasped. Before the others could react, Po spoke. "The baby, I felt the baby kick."
Dispy and Laa-Laa rushed over towards Po. Tinky Winky held up a hand over Po's belly, unsure whether he should touch it or not. Po grabbed Tinky Winky's hand and placed it on her belly.

"Isn't it wonderful, Tinky, our baby is letting us know he or she's here."

"Yeah, it is Po."

"Can we feel?"

"Of course you can, Laa-Laa and Dipsy."

Tinky Winky could help but smile as they all admired the baby.

Clouds rolled in, covering the sun. Dispy was the first to notice the raindrops.

"Oh, no rain on our picnic?"

"Well, it was fun while it lasted."

The teletubbies packed up everything and got home just in time as the rain started pouring down.

"It was perfect, the sun was shining, the clouds were big, white, and fluffy, great food, I felt my baby kick, just why?"

Tinky Winky placed a hand on Po, leaning down, Po leaned over and buried her face in his chest.

"Man, I hope you don't get that moody when we start having kids."

"DISPY!"

"What?"

Laa-Laa shook her head and walked off

"Laa-Laa, wait, what, Laa-Laa?"

Dispy followed Laa-Laa, leaving Po and Tinky Winky together.

As the sun set, the teletubbies got ready for bed.

"Dispy, you know Po's not doing it on Purpose. Her hormones are out of whack since she's pregnant. I hope you don't act this way when I get pregnant."

"But!"

Dispy stopped when he saw Laa-Laa look at him

"Sorry, Laa!"

"All is forgiven."

Laa-Laa and Dispy kissed.

In the other bedroom, Tinky Winky was having another nightmare. In it, he was running, trying to get Po, as she was being dragged away from him, but he didn't seem to get any closer.

"Tinky!" Po cried as she disappeared

"No!"

That was the moment Tinky woke up.

Tinky Winky looked around. He was back in bed next to a sleeping Po and groaned, Not another nightmare. He pulled the covers off of him and sat on the bedside after a bit he got up walked to the dining room and walked over to the Tubby coffee machine, they had gotten more food and drink machines after getting sick and tired of only tubby custard and tubby toast. He then walked over to the Tubby Toaster.

"Tinky?"

Tinky jumped, dropping the tubby toast that was in his hand.

"Sorry, Tinky, I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it." Tinky Winky said as he hugged Po.

They got breakfast and sat down, not long after Laa-Laa and Dispy joined them. After breakfast, the teletubbies went for a walk.

"Po?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to have a scan done so we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl?"

Po nodded happily as the two walked hand in hand.

Po lay on a dome bed while the scanner scanned and took pictures of her womb. A little bit later, the scan was finished.

"What does the screen say? Are we having a boy or a girl?"

Tinky Winky looked at the screen.

"We're having a girl."

Tears of joy came to Po's eyes, and Tinky Winky placed a hand on Po and smiled.

"Now I'm going to have two amazing ladies in my life."

Po hugged Tinky Winky after they hugged. Tinky helped Po off the dome bed.

"Come on, let's go tell Laa-Laa and Dispy."

The teletubbies were sitting at the table, trying to think of names for the baby.

"How about LoLo?"

"That's a great name, Tinky, LoLo it is."

As evening came around, Tinky Winky got worried. What if he had another nightmare?

Well, if he did, there wasn't anything that could be done about it.

He sighed as he got into bed next to Po and drifted off to sleep.

Tinky Winky woke up screaming from the nightmare he had just had, waking up Po in the process.

"Oh, Tinky, another nightmare?"

Po moved closer to Tinky Winky and placed her hand on his shoulder.

Dispy and Laa-Laa came into their room not long after

"Why did Tinky Winky scream?"

"He had another nightmare."

"Oh, okay, you two need anything?"

"Thanks, Laa-Laa, but I think we're fine."

Laa-Laa nodded and dragged Dispy back to bed with her.

Po stayed up a bit longer, making sure Tinky Winky was fine before going back to sleep. In the morning, Po stayed by Tinky Winky's side for most of the day.

Months passed, and poor Tinky Winky kept having nightmares. The time for Po to give birth came, and Tinky Winky was a mess.

Po groaned as she placed a hand on her belly. Her water had broken a few minutes ago, and she looked around for Tinky Winky.

"Tinky...Tinky, my water broke. The baby is coming."

Laa-Laa heard Po's cries and rushed over towards her.

"Are you okay, Po?"

"No, my water broke, and I can't find Tinky Winky anywhere."

"Come on, let's get you to the birthing dome."

"I need to look for Tinky Winky."

"You are in no condition to look for Tinky Winky."

"But!"

"I'm sorry, Po, maybe he will show up, or we can look for him. Dispy, come here."

Not long after Dispy showed up

"What's going on?"

"We need to get Po to the birthing dome. You haven't seen Tinky Winky, have you?"

"No!"

"Okay, just help me with Po."

When they got to the birthing dome, they got Po ready for the birth.

"Dispy, can you go look for Tinky Winky?"

"I don't know where he could be."

"Well, Dispy, you could stay here with Po, while I try looking for him."

Dispy gave Laa-Laa a look. "And what, being in there while she labors, No thanks."

"Then go look for Tinky Winky."

"Okay, okay, I'm going."

Dispy left to look for Tinky Winky, while Laa-Laa went into the birthing room where Po lay on a bed panting. Every time Po had a contraction, Laa-Laa would hold her hand.



Dispy lowered his head as he walked into the birthing dome. He peeped his head into the birthing room.

"Laa-Laa!"

"Dispy, you're back."

"Can I talk to you out here?"

"Okay, give me a minute." She placed a hand on Po. "Dispy and I'll be out in the hall, don't know what he wants to talk about. But if you need me, just let me know."

Po nodded. Noo-Noo moved closer to Po, letting her know he was there, too.

Laa-Laa walked into the hall and straight towards Dispy and looked around.

"Where's Tinky Winky? You found him, right?"

"I tried, I looked at home, near the Magic Windmill, walked all of the paths, checked trees and bushes, talked to the flowers and voice trumpets, checked around the rabbit holes, thinking maybe he was looking at the rabbits, but nothing. I don't know where he is."

"What are we supposed to tell Po? She keeps on asking for him."

"I don't know."

Laa-Laa sighed, "You know what, you hop into the birthing room and I'll see if I can find him."

"What me?"

"Po needs someone in there with her, and anyway, it will do you some good, for when we start having kids."

"But But."

"Dispy, come on."

"Fine!"

"Po, I'll be right back. Dispy and Noo-Noo are here until I get back, okay."

"Okay!"

"Noo-Noo, keep an eye on Dispy as well for me, will ya?"

Noo-Noo placed his long elephant-like hose on Po's hand, making sure she was fine.

Laa-Laa got to the birthing room doors, looked back at Po, and left. She had almost gotten outside when Tinky Winky walked into the birthing dome.

"Tinky Winky, where have you been? Po has been wanting you for some time now."

Before Tinky Winky could reply, they heard a scream.

"Po!"

Laa-Laa rushed towards the birthing room, followed by Tinky Winky.

Sweat poured down Po's face as she clutched Dispy's hand.

"My hand, my poor hand."

"Your hand, what about me? I'm trying to bring life into this world."

"I'm back and look who I found."

"Tinky!" Po cried as she let go of Dispy's hand. Tinky walked over towards Po, hugging her. She buried her face in Tinky's chest, sobbing.

"I'm so sorry, I was worried about becoming a father. I got scared. I thought, what if I couldn't be there for Po when the baby came? That maybe I would mess up, and when the dreams started happening, it made things worse. So I went to the pond to clear my head and lost track of time. When I went home and noticed nobody was here, I got even more worried and thought I had lost everyone. Then I noticed the note, and I knew I was doing what I was worried about in my dreams, and came straight over here."

Po let go of Tinky Winky and cried out in pain. She leaned back, closing her eyes as she panted. Laa-Laa checked Po.

"That baby is coming now."

Tinky Winky went to Po's side and held her hand. Laa-Laa went to the front of Po's bed and helped her spread her legs.

"Okay, Po push."

Po pushed, and not long after, the baby slid into Laa-Laa's hands. She then placed the baby in Po's arms.

"Oh, Tinky, she's here," Po said with tears in her eyes.

"My two perfect girls." Tinky Winky said as he kissed Po on her forehead

Laa-Laa and Dispy left the two to bond over their daughter.

When it was time to come home, the others planned a welcome home party for LoLo and celebrated.

At the table, a few days after the party, the Teletubbies sat. Laa-Laa cleared her throat.

"I have something I need to say, I'm pregnant, Dispy, and I are also going to be parents."

"Congratulations, you two." Po and Tinky Winky said

"I'm going to be a father, I don't know what to say."

Dispy hugged Laa-Laa when they parted. Dispy got near Laa-Laa's flat belly and rubbed it.

The Teletubbies spent the rest of the day talking and enjoying each other's company.
