Morticia, Cara Mia
is a Fan Fic of The Addams Family that is sort of an Alternate Universe Fic. Well, the universe is pretty much the same except that Wednesday is two years younger and, and this is the one that drives the plot, it deals with the birth of Pubert differently. It focuses mainly on Morticia's pregnancy with Pubert.
