Often, in such a romance novel, there might be a plotline where the best friends have a baby due to some external factor like a drunken bet or a situation where they pretend to be a couple for a while and things get out of hand. Then, as they face the reality of raising a child together, they start to notice things about each other that they never did before, like the way one takes care of the baby so tenderly or how the other is always there when needed, which leads to romantic love.
In many cases, the characters struggle at first. They worry about ruining their friendship if they admit their new - found romantic feelings. So, they might try to suppress those feelings while still being great co - parents. But as time passes and they see how well they work together as a family unit, they eventually give in to their love and decide to take a chance on a romantic relationship.
It's a very personal decision. Some might argue that if they both feel a strong attraction and they trust each other, why not? But in reality, the risks are high. There's a good chance it will change the nature of their friendship, and not necessarily for the better. There's always the potential for one or both to get hurt.
Their friends would probably be really surprised at first. Orihime might be super excited and start making all kinds of baby clothes and accessories for them. Chad would be happy for them in his quiet way, and Ishida might be a bit more reserved in his reaction but still offer his support.
Their friends would probably be really excited. They might bring over gifts like cute baby clothes or toys. Some friends could offer to babysit so Aphmau and Aaron could have some time to themselves.
Sakura would be overjoyed. She's been Naruto's friend for a long time, and she would be excited to see him start a family. She might offer to be the baby's doctor and make sure the baby is healthy. Shikamaru would probably be a bit lazy about it at first but would come around and offer his strategic mind to help protect the baby if needed.
Sakura would probably be really surprised at first. Since she was once in love with Naruto, it might be a bit of a shock, but she would also be happy for them. Sasuke might be more reserved in his reaction, but he would see Naruto's happiness and respect it. Shikamaru would likely be the one to make some sarcastic comments about how Naruto always manages to find himself in the most unexpected situations, but deep down he would be glad for his friend. Choji would be excited and would probably offer to share his food with the baby all the time.
Rick would probably be very protective. He would see the baby as a symbol of hope in their post - apocalyptic world. He might offer extra protection around their living area and ensure they have enough supplies for the baby.
I would recommend 'Anna and the French Kiss' by Stephanie Perkins. It has a really sweet best - friends - to - lovers storyline. The characters are very relatable and the setting in Paris adds a touch of charm to the whole romance.
One of the well - liked baby romance novels could be 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks. It tells a beautiful love story that spans decades, with themes of loyalty and undying love. It's not strictly about 'baby' in the sense of very young children, but the love story is so pure and deep that it gives a sense of the best in romance.
