Fics like An Approximation of Happiness

Grace crossed the house, grabbing his laptop and flopping down across his couch. His laptop rested on the swell of his abdomen as he opened his browser and pulled up a database of symptoms and their potential causes. Nausea. Weight gain. Increased appetite. Fatigue. Frequent urination. He cross-referenced with an open notebook, writing down possible diagnoses. Stomach viruses, food poisoning, metabolic changes, depression, various kinds of cancers. Pregnancy popped up a lot, too. Over and over, for every symptom. None of the other diagnoses appeared for every one of his symptoms. “Wouldn’t that be a riot?” Grace muttered to himself. “Human parthenogenesis in the only human on an alien planet." --- Eridian doctors transferred a human embryo into Grace. They didn't bother asking his permission.
