#new parents

[ravencincaide]

Desperate times call for desperate measures 

Summary:  You leave your small twins with Dazai and Chuuya and hope the two of them can manage their fatherly-duties while you take an hour of much needed ‘me time’. Scratch that, you just needed long enough to take a shower in order to feel human again before going back to being a mom.

Pairing: Dazai x Chuuya xfem! Reader 

Inspired by Sweetober prompt 8: Napping together

Warning: Cursing, hints at depression/ postpartum depression, New parents/exhausted parents.

Enjoy~

______________________________________________________________

You were going to kill Chuuya. 

No, you decided as you paced back and forth around the house, rocking the fussing twins in your arms. You were going to kill Mori for dragging your Chuuya out of his parental leave to deal with whatever shit Dazai had gotten himself into. You had thought the suicidal maniac of a lover would have gotten more efficient on missions- or at the very least more considerate. Nope. Still, somehow, if one part of twin dark was sent on a mission, he’d get in sufficient shit to need the second one's assistance. 

Responsible adults, your ass.

You sighed as the wailing continued with no amount of rocking, hushing, singing and pacing doing much to ease the tears. You were also silently cursing Chuuya for getting you pregnant with twins, why couldn’t it have been one to start with? Though you admitted as you looked down at the two crying balls of ginger, they were adorably cute; both took after their father in appearance,inheriting Chuuyas ginger hair and stunning blue eyes. With the only seeming resemblance to you being in their chins and petit nose. 

You definitely picked the short straw you mused bitterly as another loud cry made your ears ring. 

The ginger haired girl was crying and waving her doll around every now and then, getting it tangled in your hair or hitting you on the head with it with a surprising amount of strength. Her twin, an almost identical copy of her with slightly fluffier hair and larger eyes, was just gripping onto you and crying. He wasn’t wailing as loudly as his sister but the teardrops that rolled down his cheeks were larger, almost comical. 

There was no doubt in your mind that they were setting each other off. And all this mess because you got distracted and missed nap time. 

God you could feel yourself reaching your limit. What you’d give for just a little bit of time to yourself- a few hours was all you asked for. Something you hadn’t seen much of- if any after giving birth. As soon as the twins were born you got to spend a month in the hospital recovering before you and the babies were allowed home. Then it went downhill from there. First the wonderful nanny that you had picked out had to leave your services. The agency you hired her through was quick to send a replacement, but that woman got killed in an unfortunate plane crash. Getting another replacement was proving more challenging. Then almost directly after, despite being barely at home Dazai pulled from parental leave due to ‘emergencies’; first several back-to-back abroad missions where he’d only come home for a few days tops and then his last one for which he left over two months ago. You had Chuuya but even he had to go back into the office several times a week.In the best case.  If that wasn’t making your existence miserable, suddenly Dazai needed backup out of the blue, forcing Chuuya to leave without warning in the middle of the night. 

For the last two months you were completely alone. 

You had to do everything; from childcare to household chores, to different parenting classes and doctors visits with the two. In the evenings after putting them to bed you’d be sitting and going through reports and reviewing mission statements to keep your lovers workload manageable and the department not at a standstill. It became your job to ensure subordinates were still sent out on missions and nothing critical, that couldn’t wait until their return, got missed. Then you’d get a little cleaning and food prep done,  shower if you managed to do that before the babies woke up for their nightly feedings. When you’d crawl into bed you’d shut your eyes for twenty minutes at a time, plagued by nightmares of your partners drying and being a failure as a mother. When you’d finally calm your demons, the twins would get hungry again so you’d be up to warm the bottle for them before changing them and rocking them back to sleep. Sometimes you’d fall asleep right on the soft carpeted floor with both of them cuddling to your chest, sleeping a few hours longer than in their own beds. 

Those mornings were your salvation. 

You let out a loud groan, looking up at the ceiling as you felt tears sting your eyes. You didn’t know if children were meant to scream and cry so much. You didn’t know if you were doing this right or wrong. You didn’t know what you were supposed to do. You just wanted them to be healthy and happy- why couldn’t you do that? You brought them closer to your chest and pressed a kiss to each of their foreheads. “ Mama’s trying her hardest” you muttered as you continued to rock them “Mama would really really need a helping hand though.” 

-

It seemed gods took pity on you just this once. 

You nearly broke down crying or screamed out in joy when you heard the car pulling up to your driveway. Then silence before a key pushed into the lock followed by the door swinging opened. 

“ Sweetheart we’re back!” Chuuya yelled as he kicked off his shoes. You heard Dazai’s voice muttering something to him, the bickering overshadowed by the twins' cries. You made quick way towards the hallway. The moment Chuuya and Dazai came into sight, new screams filled the house; excited cries of “ Dada” and “ papa” which bounced off the walls, a bitter reminder that you children were never this excited to see you. 

You could see Chuuya chuckling, a bright expression on his face full of love and happiness. He didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered by the yelling- if anything it seemed to fill him with contagious happy energy and an eagerness to get his damned coat off so he could come to the children. Dazai, dressed in completely white attire, which resembled something between a prison uniform and the dresscode of asylum patients seemed less happy about the screaming. But even he had a smile playing on his lips as he hurried towards you at the same time as Chuuya, who had given up on hanging his coat and just threw it on the ground. The two were practically tripping over each other, with each ‘papa’ and ‘dad’ cry getting more and more eager to get to you, limbs frailing; hands, arms and snappy remarks at each others inability to get out of the others way. 

Finally they seemed to remember how to walk and the bottleneck in your hallway was replaced by two adult men rushing towards you. 

“ How are my loves?” Chuuya cheered looking far too happy as he hurried pressed a kiss to your children's heads. First the boy then the girl. Dazai did the same in the opposite order, both ignoring you and your puckered lips. 

For a second a pang of jealousy hit your heart. You hadn’t seen your partners in over two months and before greeting you, their attention was on the children. Picture perfect fathers. Shitty lovers. And the second the thought entered your head you felt your heart drop to your stomach with guilt. In what sane world was a mother jealous of the attention her babies were getting? You should be happy and proud that both of your partners- not only the biological father- cared so deeply for the balls of joy you created. Though, you added almost bitterly, right now these two brought you anything but joy. 

“ Here” you stated in a slightly bitter tone as you pawned over one kid per partner “ Do everyone a favour and act like fathers for longer than 30 seconds.  I need some ‘me- time’ before I murder someone” 

Chuuya and Dazai shared a look of bewilderment between each other as you stepped away from them. They had expected kisses, hugs and a warm dinner but got a kid each and a blank stare in return. Dazai stared at your retreating form with agap mouth for a moment before he stretched the little girl towards Chuuya; “ Here Chuuya be a good dad, me and Y/N have some catching up to do.” 

You pretended to ignore what he said, the same way he ignored your comment about ‘me time’. Though you wondered if you should at the very least make them dinner before taking out that ‘me time’ moment. 

“ Heeh stop being so bitter and just hold her, Mackerel.” Chuuya snapped trying to get the boy to settle in his arms “if your swimmers could actually swim they’d be your kids” 

“ Don’t be such a slug about it” Dazai declared as he turned his attention away from Chuuya as the boy began sobbing again making Chuuya curse before attempting to pacify him. Zero attention to either Dazai or the girl in his arms. 

In the process the girl-child who had just settled down, amusing herself by pulling on strands of Dazai’s grown out hair, turned her attention away from him and towards her crying brother. Seeing him cry, her eyes began to water.

 In seconds Dazai’s attention was back to you; “ Ohh Belladonna you’d not be so cruel as to demand your newly returned partner whom you haven’t seen for months to be a father without sleep or proper meal “ Despite his dramatic words he shifted the girl to his other arm so her back was to her brother and began rocking her more quickly. His second hand was trying to keep her attention on the doll she had abandoned in favour of his hair. The very doll she had been hitting you with not even ten minutes earlier.  Scratch your earlier thoughts. They were adults and older than you- they knew how to order in or warm up leftovers! 

You sighed heavily before you went towards the kitchen and the fridge. “ Then you boys are in agreement that we stop at two right?” You questioned  when you returned with a cold rattle for the boy. He was quick to grasp it in his hands before beginning to chew on it. The relief it brought was sufficient to stop the tears. 

For now. 

When you got no reply, you motioned between the two of them and then to the children in their arms. If you weren’t so tired you’d have laughed at the look of horror drawing of Dazai’s face as he realized you were serious, and then the very hurt expression at the mere idea of not having any children of his own with you. That look melted a piece of ice around your heart.  “ Or can you manage to look after them for an hour while I take a shower in peace?” 

Your lovers nodded eagerly, both giving you a salute before shuffling off towards the baby proofed living room with toys, a playpen and floor covered in soft playmats. Your eyes lingered long enough until they were out of sight before you headed upstairs to your bedroom. Once there you dragged yourself towards the chair by your make up table which had a thin layer of dust over your make up palettes. Serving as a bitter reminder of just how ‘much’ time you dedicated towards yourself in the past months. The thought plastered a bitter smirk on your face; no wonder you didn’t get as much as a kiss-hello from either Dazai or Chuuya. 

You dropped in the chair with a heavy sigh and buried your head in your hands. You didn’t understand what was wrong with you. You didn’t understand where you were making mistakes; how could other mafia women manage to do so much more? More time with children, more work, more chores- many would even visit headquarters to spend lunch with their husbands. 

Husbands- the word brought a bitter taste to your mouth. How long have you three been together already? How many milestones have you celebrated? Missions, promotions, twins. Plans for extending the family with at least one more kid- Dazai’s. And still your ring finger remained bare. In fact after the icy greeting today you doubted your relationship would ever move anywhere positive from this standstill. 

You heard steps outside your bedroom, irritated and heavy before the door to your bedroom swung open with Dazai’s usual dramatic appearance “ Ahh my sweet Belladonna my heart-”

You didn’t need to turn around to know the look he was wearing.” One hour” you stated “ Or no more kids. Your choice” 

The door closed as quickly as it had opened. 

The peaceful silence didn’t last for long. Though you didn’t know how long you were sitting in your thoughts, salvaging a moment of being alone, you knew it couldn’t have been longer than five minutes before you were interrupted again. This time the footsteps outside your door were calmer and more confident. Their owner opened the door very gently. You closed your eyes biting back the frustration as you heard Chuuya’s half hesitant whisper “Sweetheart..” 

“ What is it, Chuuya?” You still didn’t have it in you to face him. 

“ If you want to soak in the bath, it's ready any minute now” You nodded, feeling a wave of guilt wash over you. Maybe you shouldn’t have been so cold to him. Especially when he went out of his way to do something nice for you. “ Also, do you know where the nursing bottles are?” 

There it was. 

“ There are some prepared bottles in the fridge; just place them in boiling water for a few seconds until they’re body temperature. Not too hot.” You rubbed your temple as you spoke, fighting off the want to cry and scream much like the children downstairs. These were things he as their father was supposed to know. Or at least be able to figure it out on his own. He could lead an entire faction on his own, why couldn’t he handle a baby or two? 

After your reply you heard Chuuya linger in the doorway for a few moments. You pictured him opening and closing his mouth, hesitating as he thought over what to do. A hopefully side of you hoped he’d come in and wrap his arms around you and just hold. Just fucking hold you for a moment without the children being present. Then another cry from downstairs and he was gone; the door shutting quietly behind himself. 

You waited for a moment, gathering your strengths before leaving the safety of your room, rushing quietly through the small hallway, trying not to waver at the sound of the children's cries. Once in the bathroom you closed and locked the door before leaning your back against it. Why did no one tell you that when you’d become a mother you’d become so alone while constantly surrounded by others? 

Shaking your head you stripped before climbing into the baths. You let out a low moan as the feeling of bath salts soothed your skin. Then salvaged the moment of humanity as you dipped your head underwater with the realization you didn’t need to watch anyone while you washed. Then you reached for the shaving blade and shaving cream, getting rid of the hair on your body that annoyed you more than you’d ever wish to admit. 

When you got out of the bathtub and showered off, you felt human. Like a sliver of being a woman was returned to you. Dressing in clean clothes only reinforce that.  Now then you were feeling more ready to tackle the rest of this cursed day.

Coming out of the bathroom you noticed how quiet it was. The silence filled you with dread; anyone with children knew that the only time they were quiet was either when something was wrong or they were up to something, while anyone acquainted with Dazai and Chuuya were very aware that the two together were constantly either bickering or yapping.

Silence like this filled you with dread. 

Throwing your dirty laundry carelessly to the side you rushed downstairs, heart in your throat. When you made it down the stairs you stopped, shocked as the sound of snores reached your ears. More carefully you made your way towards the livingroom being cautious to remain light on your feet. 

Once there you leaned against the wall, your eyes falling on the heartwarming sight before you. All four of them were on the soft playmat. Chuuya was lying stretched out on his back on his coat, an arm dropped over his eyes and loud snores resonating around the room. On his chest lay your daughter with his hat covering her head from the light. His hand was on her body keeping her close to himself. Dazai was lying curled up into a ball on his side, beside Chuuya. His messy head on his thigh. Your son laying in his arms, held close to himself through a make-ship baby-carry out of his bandages. Although he wasn’t snoring you could tell he was fast asleep by the rise and fall of his shoulders. 

Going over to the couch you picked up the warm covers before gently placing it over them. You saw Dazai stir, a sleepy eye opening just long enough to register that you weren’t a threat then he shifted slightly, creating a space between him and Chuuya for you. “ Don’t be a stranger Belladonna” he whispered as he beckoned you to lay down between them. 

Once you did, he wrapped one arm around you, the second one still holding your son in place, before he buried his face in your hair. He took a deep breath in and out, his hand finding yours and squeezing it once before interlocking your fingers together. “ I’ve missed you” he muttered, his eyes sliding shut in tiredness “ Lets rest now and when we wake up I wanna give you a proper greeting Bella” 

Before you could answer he was fast asleep. Which was probably good because it saved you the embarrassment of explaining why his one sentence brought you to tears.

💜 Let’s talk about young parent stigma - the idea that those expecting or parenting under the age of 25 are inferior or unworthy of our support & resources. Pregnant & parenting young people are often seen as society’s “failures,” or “unfit caregivers” - which is just not true.

Digital illustration of a large diverse group of young people with their children and pets. Among the crowd is a father wearing a shirt that reads, 'we deserve to thrive and not just survive' with his child on his shoulders. In the center is a young person and their baby holding a sign that reads, 'Center the voices of expectant and parenting youth.'

Title: New Addition A/N: I had too much fun with this so this was longer than expected and I had to cut it off so there is gonna be another part~ If you wanna be added to my tag list let me know. Tag List: @thisbicc

Part 1 | Part 2

You were pacing back and forth in Shinichiro’s bathroom. You were a nervous wreck, as you kept glancing at the test. When your phone alarm went off, you rushed to turn it off and looked at the stick. That’s when you saw it, two lines. So many emotions were filling you at this very moment, but the biggest two were fear and excitement. 

Fear: You weren’t sure how Shinichiro would react, sure he always talked about how you would be the perfect mother. But was he ready for a child? 

Excitement: Because you were having a child, and it was Shinichiro’s.

You had to tell Shinichiro immediately but you had no idea how to tell him. Your heart was racing as you walked out of his bathroom. You knew he was at work, so you would have to go to his job. You got dressed and put the pregnancy test in your purse before leaving for his shop. You hope he wasn’t busy with working on the bikes and it was a slow day. Because after you tell him so many things could happen. 

You were so lost in your thoughts that you didn’t realize you had already arrived at his shop. You walked in, the bell signaling you had come in. Shinichiro, Wakasa, and Takeomi all looked up and you waved. 

“Hey~” 

“(Y/N), what are you doing here? Sorry I didn’t wake you… this morning.” Shinichiro said with a smile.

“It’s no problem, I came to see you. We uh.. we need to talk.”

“Uh oh… could it be (Y/N) is finally tired of Shinichiro?” 

“I mean after three years, can’t blame her…” 

“Guys don’t scare him, it’s nothing like that…” You said as you noticed Shinichiro freezing up.

“Sorry, sorry~,” They said and he slowly stood up.

“Is it bad?” He asked and you shrugged making a face… depends on you? I guess. We need to talk privately… are you guys busy?”

“No, nothing we can’t handle,” Wakasa said and you nodded and Shinichiro took your hand leading you to the back. Once you were sure that you guys were alone, Shinichiro tensed up again.

“Princess? What’s wrong? You are making me a nervous wreck right now…” He said and you looked at him, and the emotions slowly started to surface. Excited and fearful. You ended up letting a sob out, whether it was happiness or fear or both you didn’t know.

“Whoa, whoa baby. Why are you crying? What’s wrong?” He asked coming to your side as your hands were shaking. You stayed silent trying to control your trembling hands and voice so you weren’t too loud. You looked up at him, and he cupped his face.

“(Y/N)?” 

“I-I uhm…look at this…” You reached into your purse and pulled out the stick. Shinichiro was confused, as he looked at it. He honestly had no idea what he was looking at.

“What is this?” 

“P-Pregnancy test… it’s positive… I am pregnant…” You said. As soon as the words left your mouth Shinichiro looked at you confused. 

“You are… pregnant? Pregnant?” The words weren’t registering in his mind, and you nodded.

One. 

Two.

Three.

He fainted, knocking over everything in the process. It was so loud, that Wakasa and Takeomi both came to the back to see Shinichiro on the ground. 

“What happened?” Wakasa asked checking his pulse before he spotted the stick. 

“(Y/N)? What happened?” Takeomi asked after Wakasa but his attention to Wakasa. 

“Never mind… I know what…” Wakasa said before looking at you with wide eyes. 

“I don’t think Shinichiro is gonna be able to do the meeting for like the next week though. All Black Dragon meetings are on pause.” Wakasa finished. 

“Huh? Why?” 

“(Y/N)? Did he pass out because of… this?” Wakasa picked up the pregnancy stick, and you nodded. That’s when Takeomi’s eyes widen before looking at you, your stomach then Shinichiro.

“I can see why he passed out, I feel faint…” Takeomi said and Wakasa nodded. 

You knelt beside Shinichiro and Wakasa gave you the stick back.

“Did he at least respond before fainting?” Takeomi asked and you shook your head.

“All he did was repeat what I said before it processed and he fainted. I am a nervous wreck, and now he fainted and I think I am gonna puke…” You said and Wakasa gave you the garbage can.

“Well, listen you have nothing to worry about,” Wakasa tried to comfort you.

“I am gonna lock up the store real quick Wakasa,” Takeomi said and Wakasa nodded his head.

“What do you mean? What if he doe~”

“I am going to stop you there, all he ever talked about was marrying you and having a large family. He always talked about how great a mother you would be because of how you are with his siblings. Trust me, he wants this. He probably didn’t expect it to happen as soon as it is.” 

“I know he said that, but I just~ I don’t know…” 

“Trust me, he does. Don’t worry, he just needs to process that his first girlfriend after 20 rejections and 3 years of dating, is going to be the mother of his children. Something he always wanted with you.” 

“Thanks, Waka~ I appreciate you…”

“No problem, pretty. Now watch out…” you looked at him confused and moved away from Shinichiro before Wakasa filled a bucket up. He then threw a bucket of water onto Shinichiro which caused Shinichiro to wake up immediately. 

“What the hell???” Shinichiro was confused and glared at Wakasa. 

“You need to be awake and soothe your girlfriend, she is about to have a panic attack. Kinda bad for the baby~” he said. Shinichiro processed the words before realizing this was real. You were pregnant. He jumped up and picked you up spinning you around. 

“You are pregnant~ we are going to be a family! Not the order I wanted this in, but that’s okay!” He rambled on, and Wakasa smiled at you.

“We locked up, you spend time with her,” Wakasa said and Shinichiro nodded. Shinichiro set you down and placed his lips on top of yours with a smile. 

“Shinichiro, stop that tickles,” you said laughing as he kept showing you with his kisses. 

“I can’t help it, I am so happy… I could just cry right now.” 

“Please don’t, I don’t think I can deal with any more tears right…”

“That’s right… you were crying… do you not want the baby?” His face fell and your eyes widen.

“No that wasn’t the reason I was crying, I was scared yet happy. Scared because I didn’t know how you would respond but happy because it’s your child Shinichiro…” 

Shinichiro sighed in relief, before hugging you to him, swaying you slightly. 

“I got to tell the Black Dragons, up your protection and the baby’s protection when they are here. Wait first hospital, we gotta really make sure there is a mini Shinichiro inside of you, then we can start planning our wedding…” 

You laughed and cupped his face and he stopped rambling and looked at you lovingly.

“Let’s not rush, weddings are expensive. First, verify the test was right, then prepare for the baby.” 

“Fine, okay… you have a point… we are going to need our own place. A bigger place… hospital, let’s go… I have a family doctor that we normally go to. I am sure he will be happy to check.”

“Should we bring Wakasa and Takeomi?”

“Huh? Why?” 

“So if you faint again? I can’t carry you if you faint…”

“I wo~ actually yeah let’s bring them.” He stopped himself and text his two closest friends to come with them.

Once you guys arrived at the hospital, Takeomi and Wakasa both standing beside their bikes. 

“Are you sure you want us there?” Takeomi asked and you nodded.

“Yeah, because if he faints again well…” 

“Fair point. We can wait outside we don’t want to intrude on such a personal moment for the two of you,” Wakasa said. You nodded and Shinichiro walked you in. It wasn’t long before Dr. Sasaki came out and brought you guys back. He closed the door and you sat on the hospital bed, while Shinichiro held your hand in his.

“Shinichiro tells me you may be pregnant?” 

“Yeah, I have the test and it came positive. We just want to really make sure.” You said and he nodded. He handed you a cup, and you took it. 

“Alright, I am sure you know the procedure. Go ahead and pee in the cup to that line.” You nodded and stood up and Shinichiro was about to follow you, but Dr. Sasaki stopped him.

“Uh uh, you are staying here. She is a big girl, she can do it herself.”

“But…” 

“Shin, I will be fine.” You said and he puffed his cheeks and you shook your head. You smiled and left for the restroom. Once you were done, you washed your hands and came back. The doctor took it and you went into the room and sat down on the bed again. Shinichiro was pacing back and forth and you grabbed his hand and he stopped to look at you.

“The more anxious you get the more I get, please calm down.” You said and he flashed an apologetic smile.

“Sorry, I just really want this to be real right now. If the doctor says no, I am going to cry… literally.” 

“Shinichiro oh my god,” you laughed. Your laughter brought him ease and he grinned and pecked your lips.

“God I love you so much (Y/N)…”

“I know, I love you too.” You said, and he leaned his forehead against yours. 

“So, how do we plan to tell Emma and Mikey? Surely Mikey is going to throw a fit he is gonna have to share you. He already doesn’t like sharing you with me, and we are dating,” Shinichiro laughed. You let a fit of giggles out and thought about it.

“Emma is going to be super excited, I feel like Mikey will sulk once we tell them. But once the baby is here, his demeanor may change completely.”

“You think so?”

“Yeah, it’s Mikey look how easily he warmed up to Emma. I have no doubt he will be happy.” 

“I hope so, god I am a nervous wreck. How are you so calm?”

“I wasn’t all my nerves were spent in the bathroom, and then the shop when you fainted.” 

“Fair point, sorry about that…” 

“It’s okay baby~” you shared a sweet kiss with him. After about fifteen minutes the doctor came in, and he had a smile on his face. You and Shinichiro shared a look before looking at the doctor. 

“I never thought I would say this to you Shinichiro. But (Y/N), Shinichiro, congratulations you are 14 weeks pregnant. Within a few weeks, we can determine the gender of the baby. As if on cue, the moment those words left the doctor’s lips, Shinichiro fainted yet again. But luckily this time the small couch was behind him. 

“How many times has that happened today?” He asked and you looked at him. 

“Twice, this being the second time.”

“Well, I wasn’t done, I was going to do an ultrasound…” 

“Uh let me just call Takeomi and Wakasa…” The doctor nodded and you gave a call to Wakasa. 

“Hey Pretty, everything okay?” 

“He fainted again…”

“…. we on our way…” 

You hung up and the doctor looked at you before speaking. 

“Are you comfortable with them in here?”

“Yes, I trust them.”

Suddenly there was a knock before the doctor allowed them in. They stared at Shinichiro and sighed softly.

“I am taking it’s confirmed then?” Takeomi said and you nodded.

“I am 14 weeks pregnant, few weeks we will know the gender.” 

“I see… congratulations again…” Takeomi said going to Shinichiro shaking his head. Wakasa went by your side and the doctor parted the hospital gown enough for your stomach to show. 

“This is going to be cold,” suddenly the gel was placed on your skin and you shuddered slightly. You took Wakasa’s took your hand, once the doctor started to move the transducer around.

“You okay?” He asked and you nodded.

“Yeah, nervous,” you admitted. Thankfully, Wakasa is there so you wouldn’t be alone for this process. It was a simple process but a big one. You always looked at Wakasa as a brother, knowing him longer than Shinichiro. 

“You see that~ right there. That is the baby,” the doctor said taking multiple images. You teared up and Takeomi peered over Wakasa’s shoulder and both males stared. They never actually saw one on a screen only images typically the ones their parents had. This was different. From the looks of it, the baby is doing fine.” The doctor said before removing the transducer and wiped the gel off your stomach and straighten up the machine. 

“That’s amazing,” you teared up covering your mouth as you started to cry. Wakasa wrapped his arms around you, trying to comfort you. 

“I will print these pictures out, and schedule your next appointment.” 

“Thank you…” You said and Wakasa let you go, before smiling.

“I can’t believe he is the first one with a family…” Wakasa sighed and you laughed.

“No one is gonna believe him when he decides to announce it. We are gonna have to have the proof.” Takeomi said. 

“I can barely believe it, I am so happy, nervous, and just overjoyed.” You admitted and Wakasa ruffled your hair. He was like a proud older brother.

“I am gonna be the god-father right?” He said and you nodded.

“Of course, you are like my brother.” You said and he smiled before glancing at Shinichiro.

“I am gonna be the one to say it, do you think Shinichiro can be in the same room as you when you give birth?” Takeomi asked.

“He isn’t gonna leave my side but he will probably puke and then pass out…” You admitted and Wakasa nodded.

“So it’s gonna fall on me and you to be by her side ‘cause if not, she is gonna be left alone.” 

“Oh no… I can’t that’s all you Wakasa…” 

“You are such a jackass…” Wakasa rolled his eyes and you laughed softly. Once the doctor came in with the pictures you shooed the other two out so you can get dressed. Once you were dressed, Wakasa and Takeomi both slapped Shinichiro awake. 

“Stop fainting when she needs you most dumbass,” Wakasa growled. Shinichiro rubbed his head.

“What did I miss?” 

“The ultrasound, and being able to see the baby on the monitor. Luckily they give ultrasound pictures.” Takeomi sighed and you guys walked out.

“Yeah, we have to come back in three weeks to find out the gender of the baby.” 

“This is really happening… I gotta make so much money so we can get a house, and supply for the baby~” Shinichiro said. 

“Not too much, she is gonna need you with her sometimes,” Wakasa said and Shinichiro nodded.

“Right, sorry (Y/N)… I just want to make sure everything is perfect.” He apologized and you waved it off. 

“It’s fine, I understand. You won’t have to do everything. I can still work too.”

“Absolutely not, you need to stay home and rest. By staying home, I mean at my place. I will work…”

“Babe, I work in an office job. It’s not straining at all.”

“Stress, you can’t stress.” 

“Not working is gonna stress me, I will be fine…” You sighed and Wakasa and Takeomi shook their heads. 

“But~” 

“I am working that’s final.” You said and he nodded pouting.

“Fine…” 

“We will catch you later,” Wakasa said leaving you and Shinichiro. He held your hand and went back to his home. Once you guys stepped into the house, Emma and Mikey both ran to you hugging you.

“Hey (Y/N)!”

“Hey (N/N)!”

“Hey Mikey, hey Emma…” You said looking at Shinichiro who had a proud smile on his face. 

“Why is Shinichiro smiling like that?” Mikey asked. 

“Well I and Shin have something to tell you both~,” You said. You motioned the kids to the living room. They sat down on the floor in front of you and Shin, while Shin was holding your hand.

“Mikey I won’t be able to play as roughly as I normally do. I will only be able to do gentle things for a few months.”

“Huh? Why? We always play fight…” Mikey huffed and you laughed softly.

“Well,” you motioned Mikey and Emma to you and they crawled to you. You took their hands and placed them on your stomach, “I am pregnant.”

“Pregnant?” Mikey made a face of confusion, but Emma jumped up with sparkles in her eyes.

“Is it a boy or girl? When will it be here? Do you have names?” 

“What are you talking about Emma?” Mikey asked confused. 

“(Y/N) is pregnant~ meaning there is a baby inside of her stomach.” 

“HUH!?!? HOW!? NO WAY I DON’T WANNA SHARE WITH SOME STUPID BABY!” Mikey yelled and huffed and you looked at Shinichiro.

“Have you never given Mikey ‘the’ talk?” 

“No, he doesn’t sit still long enough to try.” 

“Don’t be mean, it’s a baby…” Emma slapped Mikey upside his head before sitting beside you.

“Are there pictures?” She asked and you nodded opening the box that held the ultrasound. Mikey was pouting, but Emma took the pictures gently and looked. 

“Wow… so awesome… I bet the baby will look just like you. Super pretty.” 

“Mikey you wanna see?” You asked and he shook his head, though he kept looking at the pictures in Emma’s hand. Half of him was curious the other half he was pouting.

“Are you sure?” You asked and Mikey slowly stood between your legs and looked at the pictures in Emma’s hand. Shinichiro watched as you talked with Mikey and Emma. 

“Will it be a boy or girl?” Mikey asked.

“We won’t know for a few weeks.” 

“I hope it’s a girl…”

“No way, it needs to be a boy first,” Mikey mumbled. 

“Why is that?” Emma huffed and Mikey looked away.

“So that I can train him to fight good so he can protect (Y/N) and any other future siblings he may have. We can’t count on Shinichiro to protect (Y/N). He is too weak and would end up getting killed in the process.”

“Hey!” Shinichiro huffed and you laughed slightly.

“I bet you when (Y/N) said she was pregnant, he fainted. He probably fainted like two or three times.” 

“I did not~” Shinichiro mumbled. Mikey and Emma looked at you expectantly and you glanced at Shinichiro and you couldn’t help but laugh and held up two fingers.

“Twice,”

“(Y/N)…” he huffed and Mikey looked at Emma.

“See? Someone needs to protect her…” 

“Hmm~I hope it’s twins… then. 1 boy 1 girl.” Emma said.

“Emma, don’t jinx me! Twins run in the family. Though the doctor only found one baby~ so~” You said and glanced at Shinichiro.

“Yeah, they can’t just have another baby appear in another ultrasound can they?” He asked.

“Well, yeah technically. The second baby could have been hiding, but I doubt that will be the case…” you reassured and he smiled relieved.

“Yeah, I can barely process one baby let alone two…”

Draco Malfoy Broke The Baby

“Granger.” Draco Malfoy shook the his wife frantically. “Granger, wake up!”

After a three-day labor, Hermione Granger awoke with a start, convinced something horrible had happened.

“Granger,” Draco’s voice was now a whisper. “I broke the baby.”

Wandlessly, she added more light to the room where she saw her husband holding their newborn son, Scorpius, with a nervousness she’d never seen from him before.

He placed the baby in her arms where she saw that little Scorpius appeared to be breathing just fine with all his fingers and toes. As she watched the newborn’s tiny belly move up and down, she once again found herself in awe that this beautiful creature could have come from her and her husband.

After a moment where she was utterly unable to identify anything that could be amiss with her child, she felt an intense annoyance bubbling inside her. Did her husband, by all accounts a bright man, not realize that roughly 72 hours of labor had left her worn completely out?

“Draco, did you hit your head?”

“No!” He was completely exasperated now. “Watch more closely this time!”

It was hard to tell because of the tuft of hair Scorpius claimed as his own was so fine but when Draco picked him up, his hair definitely lightened to a pale blonde to match his father. Then, when he set the baby back in her arms, his hair darkened to match hers.

Chopping it up to her exhaustion and a trick of the light, she sighed and handed the baby back to his father. “Draco, I’m exhausted. The Healers looked him over nearly a dozen times because you were so convinced something was wrong.”

“It did take a long time for him to finally pop out.”

“And yet, none of those with years and years of Healer training were concerned. No, the only one with any concerns was the one with a Potions mastery.”

His nostrils flared in anger. “Hey! I worked hard for that and you know it.”

“Yes,” she said while closing her eyes. “But it doesn’t qualify you to determine if the baby is healthy.”

“So they said,” he mumbled under his breath before shaking his head and remembering what he’d woken her up for. “Granger, listen! His hair changes to blonde when I pick him up! And then it’s darker when you hold him.”

“We can ask the Healers about it when you no doubt call them for a non-emergency,” she said without bothering to open her eyes.

Off in his own world now, Draco began to rant, “I didn’t charm him, I swear! I don’t understand how I broke him. Maybe he got into my Potions stock? I mean, I baby proofed it a week after you told me we were gonna have a baby, but maybe I missed something? But no, that doesn’t make sense since I was holding him the entire time. But you know, kids can be little troublemakers. I wasn’t because, I mean, you met my dad, but I’ve heard your school stories. I should have guessed that our children would be prodigies at trouble making. Maybe you should be in charge of him because you obviously think like him. I’m so sorry that I’ve already failed at parenthood. I knew I would struggle with fatherhood but I thought I’d make it longer than a day before…”

Hermione impatiently interrupted him. “Merlin, Morgana, and all the other gods, you are the most dramatic human to ever walk the earth.”

“Wow,” Draco mouthed as she picked up a piece of parchment and a quill.

“I’m going to write to Andromeda and get her to visit us soon. This sounds like what Remus described when Teddy was born.”

Draco paled. “You think he might…”

“Yes, I think it’s entirely possible that something in your gene pool causes metamorphmagi.”

“So it is my fault!” Draco moaned as he sat down in the plush armchair next to her bed.

She picked up the quill and began furiously scratching out a note she also dictated,

“Dear Andromeda,

If you could please visit Malfoy Manor at your earliest convenience, Draco and I would appreciate it greatly.

I have no doubt that Narcissa has already informed you that Scorpius James Malfoy arrived this morning after an arduous labor and we’d love it if you could take a look at him. When Teddy was born, I recall Remus saying that his hair changed colors within hours of his birth and that Nymohadora did the same thing. It appears that our sweet child may have the same qualities.

If you could pop in to confirm our suspicions and impart some of the wisdom you no doubt have, we would appreciate it greatly.

Oh, and I’m sure little Teddy would love to meet his baby cousin.

Hoping to see you soon,

Hermione

P.S. If you speak to Draco before you get to me, ignore him. Childbirth appears to have made him hysterical.”

“Hey!” He cried with a light laugh at the last line. “I am not hysterical!”

“Well, something is definitely wrong with you,” Hermione snapped before she handed him the letter, “Send this to your aunt immediately. And Draco?”

“Yes?” He asked frantically, clearly noticing that she was prepping to go back to sleep and leave him alone with the baby again.

“You are and will be a great father. I’ve believed this for a long time.”

“But Granger, how could you ever say that? Even my mum says my dad was awful and I didn’t have any other examples. My godfather was Severus Snape, for Salazar’s sake!”

“Hush,” the finality in her tone shut him up at once. “You are a great father who cares very deeply and I love that about you. But even great fathers need guidance sometimes, that’s why there’s mothers. So I’m here to tell you what great fathers do.”

“What’s that?”

“They let the mother of their child sleep after labor.” Her face softened into a small smile. “No, really. You’ll be fine. He’s not broken at all and we both love you very much.”

Beautiful Boy

Marinette sank into the hospital bed, as the nurses checked over her newborn son.

"You did so well, M'Lady." Adrien whispered in her ear, "Our son is finally here."

Marinette smiled as the nurse brought their son over to her. She looked down and could see the little tufts of blonde hair. When he blinked, she could see blue eyes. From the corner of her eye, she saw the nurses leave to give them some privacy.

"A mix of us." She spoke.

"The world better watch out." he stated, making his wife giggle.

"He's so cute Adrien." Marinette declared, "What should we name him? I had some ideas, but I want your opinion, too."

"What were your ideas?" he asked.

Marinette blushed, "I sort-of....always liked the names Hugo or Louis."

"Hugo Agreste. Louis Agreste." he spoke, looking down at their son, "What about Naruto Agreste?"

"N-Naruto?" Marinette questioned.

"We-We don't have to!" Adrien immediately backtracked, "I liked your names, too!"

Marinette looked down at their son.

"Naruto Agreste." she smiled.

'It must mean something in Mandarin.'

"Wait. Really?" Adrien questioned.

"Yes." she replied, "Little Naruto Agreste."

"So, did you guys pick a name?" Alya questioned, over the phone.

Nino shouted, "Yeah, tell us!"

"I gave Adrien the two suggestions I liked, but he wanted a different name. I like it. It sounds nice and I think it's in Mandarin." Mari answered.

"Cool." Nino smiled, "What did he pick?"

"Naruto." the new mother answered.

"Naruto?" the other couple shouted.

"Yes?" Marinette replied, "Is-Is there something wrong with the name? Is it too weird?"

Alya just laughed and walked away. Nino smiled and took his phone out of his pocket.

"You do know you married a weeb, right?" he questioned.

"Don't tell me." Mari sighed, closing her eyes.

"Meet Naruto Uzumaki." Nino chuckled, as Alya continued to die of laughter in the background.

Marinette opened her eyes to see a blonde haired boy with blue eyes, similar to their newborn son.

"I'm gonna kill him." she answered.

Adrien walked back into the hospital room with some food and drinks from the hospital cafeteria. He wasn't expecting to see his wife so upset. She looked scarier than his father ever had.

'Had something happened to their son while he was gone?'

"M-Mari?" Adrien stuttered out.

"You can choose Hugo or Louis for our child's name." Marinette declared.

"What about-" he began.

Marinette turned her phone around and showed him Naruto Uzumaki.

Adrien winced, "Oh." and then smiled, "Middle name?"

"Hugo Naruto Agreste?" Mari questioned.

"Louis Naruto Agreste?" Adrien offered.

Marinette sighed, "Louis Naruto Agreste."

Adrien smiled happily and brought the food closer to Marinette.

"Your father drives me crazy sometimes, but I love him." She spoke, picking up their son.

"And I love you, M'Lady." Adrien replied, kissing her cheek.

"Dork." Marinette giggled.

"Still yours, though." He answered.

"Yes, you are." Marinette smiled, "Adrien?"

"Yeah?" he asked.

"You are not doing that ever again and if I find out that you went behind my back, I'm changing my name back to Dupain-Cheng." she growled out.

Adrien gulped and quickly nodded. Marinette smiled sweetly up at him.

"Good. That includes video game characters." Marinette continued.

"Aw, come on!" the new father whined, "Imagine having a girl named Zelda!"

"Adrien." she spoke.

"Or we can name it Link, if it's a boy again." he continued.

"Adrien." the new mother called.

"But they'll be so cute!" Adrien defended himself, "Emma Zelda Agreste! Hugo Link Agreste!"

"Adrien!" Marinette shouted.

He pouted, "It's unique."

"Aren't all of those for blonde children?" she questioned.

"Maybe." he answered with a smile.

"What if they get my hair or are brunette like Papa?" Mari asked.

"I'll come up with names for those, too!" Adrien exclaimed, "Oh, Maybe Hinata or Neji. There's Rikka, Rimuru, Levy, Asuna, Tomoya, Yui, Haruhi, Kaname, Tai, Lucina, Sakura, -"

Marinette looked down at her son in her arms and smiled.

'Why do I feel your father is going to be more of a handful than you?'

Cuddly Nap Time

Waking from a nap, Scully finds Mulder sleeping with William lying on his chest.

A prompt idea born from a tweet on Twitter has now become a story. Hope you all enjoy it. 💓

Scully woke up and for a second was disoriented as to where she was and what was happening. Looking around, she blinked and then drew in a deep breath as she scrambled to get out of bed, looking into the empty bassinet in Mulder’s bedroom.

“Oh my God,” she breathed, a hand going to her throat as she opened the bedroom door, her heart racing.

“Mulder, did-”

She stopped speaking and froze where she stood as she smiled at the sight in front of her.

Asleep on his couch, Mulder had his arms wrapped around one month old William, who was also asleep, his mouth open and pressed against Mulder’s shirt.

Moving her hand from her throat to her heart, she let out a relieved sigh and carefully stepped closer to them, mindful of the creaky floorboards.

“Oh,” she said and on quiet feet, turned around and hurried back into Mulder’s room to find his digital camera.

Setting the sound of the shutter click to silent, she walked back into the living room and smiled at the sight of them sleeping before she began to take pictures and then a video.

She sighed as she watched them and then set the camera onto the desk. Torn between wanting to touch them both and then kiss William’s sweet smelling head, she instead left them to sleep.

Something caught her eye as she made to go toward the kitchen for some water. She frowned when she realized it was Mulders’s watch. Confused as to why he would have taken it off before the end of the day, she remembered what happened the other day and her breath caught as she stared lovingly at them.

“What happened to this little man?” Mulder had asked, picking up a sleeping William from his bassinet in the living room when he had arrived at her apartment. “Are those scratches?”

“Hmm, yeah,” she had said, gently stroking William’s cheek where his impossibly small, but sharp, baby fingernails had created red scratches on his face. “His nails are so small, I didn’t want to risk hurting him by cutting them. But, after I saw these scratches, I had to, worried or not.”

“Is he okay, though? Does he need to see the doctor?”

“No,” she had said, smiling at Mulder as he had gently brushed his lips against William’s cheek, murmuring that he was sorry for the scratches. “They’ll be okay soon.”

“Hmm,” he had said with a nod, kissing William’s cheek and then his forehead. “As long as you’re sure.”

“I am.”

“Were his nails hard to cut?”

“Exceedingly. Like threading a wiggly needle that constantly closes just as you get the thread close to it.”

“Sounds like an accurate description,” he had said with a chuckle, kissing William again. “God, he smells so good.”

“Doesn’t he?” she had asked, bending close to smell and then kiss him. “It’s intoxicating.”

“Getting high off the scent of our son… is that okay to do?” he had asked in mock seriousness and she had laughed, kissing him softly in response as William had begun to fuss, rooting and searching for his next meal. “Oh, I think it’s time to pass him over. But I get him when he’s done eating.”

“Sure,” she had teased as she walked toward the couch and began to unbutton her top, reaching for him when she had been ready. “You get the easy job.”

“I would help out in that department if I could, but for now, I’ll do whatever else I can.” Kissing the top of her head, he had handed William to her, touching the little scratches once again. “Gotta be more careful, little man. Protect that delicate skin that your mama made for you.”

“He’s okay,” she had whispered, helping William latch on and start feeding. “They should fade pretty soon.”

“Good,” he had said, kissing her head again. “You need anything? Water? Juice? Something to eat?”

“Water, please. And maybe some peanut butter toast?”

“You got it,” he had said, taking off his jacket and laying it on the couch.

She had hummed as she looked at William, his eyes barely opening as he ate, all of his fingers wrapped around one of hers.

“So beautiful,” she had whispered, raising his hand and bending her head to kiss his fingers. “I love you so much.”

When Mulder had taken him back to burp and rock him, he had made sure nothing he was wearing would bother William as he held him.

“Good thing I’m unemployed these days,” he had said and she raised her eyebrows in a silent question. “No buttons from my dress shirts to press uncomfortably against his skin.”

“True. And an added bonus, you fill out your t-shirts quite nicely,” she had said as she had buttoned her shirt up, smiling at him with a wink.

“Hey, none of that. You still have recovery time that needs to be adhered to.”

“Oh trust me, I’m in no condition for any of that, but you can’t fault me for admiring the window display, even if I won’t be purchasing anything today.”

“Interesting way to phrase it,” he had said, laughing as William burped loudly and then breathed softly. Mulder had looked at her with a soft smile and shook his head. “See? I think babies have a built-in mechanism that knows when to do something so goddamn cute, it then releases dopamine that takes away the memory of sleepless nights and tired bodies that are barely making it through the day. They know, Scully. They know.”

“Must be an X-File,” she had said with a grin, unconsciously swaying just as Mulder had started to do so with William.

“This is spooky,” he had said, motioning to them both moving in sync.

“Is it? Really?” she had asked with a small chuckle.

“I suppose not,” he had said, shushing William when he began to cry. Patting him on the back gently, he had smiled at her. “I love you, you know.”

“I do know,” she had said with a grin. “But, I’ll never get tired of hearing it.”

“Come over here and kiss me,” he had said and she had stood up, walked over to him and kissed him softly, an arm wrapping around his waist while her other hand had rested on William’s back and they had swayed slowly.

“I love you too, you know,” she had said, scratching her nails gently against Mulder’s back.

“I do know. And I’ll also never tire of hearing it.”

“That’s good.”

“Mmhmm,” he had hummed as William had sighed contentedly.

She sighed as she watched them now, William breathing deeply as he slept, Mulder’s arms protectively around him, his watch on the table to avoid any further scratches or harm to the tiny human they had created.

“God, I love you,” she said to them, shaking her head as she smiled.

Knowing she had a little bit of time before William would be waking for his next feeding, she tidied up. Clearing the coffee table of the sunflower seeds and the shells, she then quietly took Mulder’s glass of tepid water into the kitchen and refreshed it with icy water.

Finding his refrigerator quite empty, she went into the bedroom to get her phone and order delivery from the Chinese restaurant they frequented.

Back in the living room, she watched as William began to stir, Mulder’s arms tightening immediately as his eyes opened drowsily and then shut again.

“Shhh, it’s okay,” he whispered, patting William’s back. “We had a deal that we would let Mama sleep a little longer. She’s so tired, buddy. Shhh…”

“Hey,” she whispered, sitting down on the coffee table and touching his arm. His eyes flew open and he looked at her in surprise.

“Hey,” he said, swallowing and clearing his throat softly. “You okay?”

“More than okay.”

“Did you sleep?”

“I did. And I see you two did as well.” She smiled and placed her hand on William’s back, rubbing softly.

“He was fussing and I wanted you to sleep without worrying about him. I came out here with the intent to put him back in the bassinet once he had settled, but…” He shrugged and closed his eyes with a small smile.

“It’s hard to put him down when he’s so warm and snuggly?”

“Exactly,” he breathed, rubbing William’s back gently as he settled with some grunts and moans. “Then once I laid down with him, well…” Mulder chuckled softly and opened his eyes to look at her. “I was powerless to not fall asleep.”

“I completely understand,” she said, covering his hand on William’s back.

“I think it’s the best sleep I’ve ever had on this couch.”

They both laughed quietly as she rubbed his hand and he stared at her, his eyes dropping to her lips. She smiled as she leaned closer and kissed him, her other hand gently squeezing his upper arm.

“I ordered some food, seeing as you don’t really have anything here,” she said, kissing him once more.

“Hmm. Chinese?”

“Yeah.”

“I was dreaming about egg rolls. You must have known.”

“Actually,” she said, sitting up and laughing quietly again. “I was craving some chow mein and sweet and sour pork, so I ordered it.”

“You didn’t get egg rolls?” he whined, sticking out his lip and she laughed silently.

“Yes,” she said, leaning forward to kiss him. “I got egg rolls.”

“Ahh, Scully,” he said with a smile as William scrunched up and began to cry. “Okay, buddy. I know. Let’s get up and get you ready to eat.”

Half full containers of food were spread out on the coffee table a little while later, as she held William at her shoulder, patting his back to coax out a burp. He grunted and stretched before burping twice.

“Good boy, William,” she whispered and kissed his downy head.

“So, I’ve been thinking,” Mulder said, coming into the room carrying their glasses, refilled with ice water.

“Hmm. What about?” she asked, smiling her thanks as he set her glass on the coffee table.

“Well, it’s not something we’ve discussed, but I’d like to,” he said, sitting beside her and taking a drink of his water.

“Okay.”

“How would you feel about a roommate?” he asked and she raised her eyebrows.

“It finally happened, didn’t it?” she asked. “Byers is tired of living with Frohike and Langly and being around them fighting all the time. I knew it would happen eventually.” She shrugged and he grinned as he shook his head.

“You think you’re so funny.”

“Eh,” she said, moving William and cradling him as she smiled.

“No, not Byers, woman,” he said, setting his glass beside hers. Reaching for William, he lay him on his knees, rubbing his belly tenderly. “It’s about our current living situation. I’m at your place or you’re here. It seems unnecessary to have two places of cohabitation.”

“Are you saying you want to… cohabitate with me? With us?” she said, glancing at William and then at Mulder.

“Live, cohabitate, spend my days with you, move in, whatever you want to call it, I want it.”

“Just your days? Not your nights? Because if you don’t have a place to live at the end of the day…”

William let out a loud fart, followed by the sounds of a very wet poop. They both looked at him in surprise and then he did it again, grunting as he pushed.

“Yeah, she is being a shit, isn’t she?” Mulder asked William with a scoff. “First she asks about Byers moving in and now she’s asking where I’ll spend my nights… She’s lucky that I love her so much.”

“I’m just trying to be thorough.”

“You’re being a pain in my ass is what you’re being,” he said. “Even the kid can see it.”

“Are you sure that’s what you want?” she asked, searching his eyes and swallowing nervously.

“Yes,” he said, taking her hand and laying his other hand on William's chest. “Since I came back, this place hasn’t really felt like home. It’s…” He looked around and shook his head. She squeezed his hand and he smiled as he looked back at her. “It’s not where I’m supposed to be. When I’m here, I wake up reaching for you and or thinking I heard him crying, but I’m alone. I don’t like it.”

“I don’t like it either,” she whispered and he nodded.

“So, what do you say? Would you like to cohabit with me? Or more accurately, me with you?”

“I would like that very much,” she said softly.

William kicked and cooed, drawing their attention, before they looked at each other again.

“Yeah?” he asked, squeezing her hand.

“Yeah,” she said, squeezing back. “Very much.”

“Good,” he said, grinning happily.

“I mean, it’ll be good as I am tired of changing most of the diapers. Especially the dirtier ones.” She looked down at William and then back up at Mulder, raising her eyebrows suggestively. “So, if you agree to, let’s say a seventy thirty split, I’d say we have a deal.”

“Seventy thirty?” he asked, letting go of her hand and lifting William to his shoulder.

“Uh huh,” she said with a nod.

“I accept,” he said and she grinned. “But seeing as how we’re at my place right now…” He made to hand William over to her and she shook her head with a laugh.

“I don’t think so. He just ate from my body. That dirty diaper is all you.”

He nodded and smiled, moving William to the crook of his arm and leaning towards her for another kiss.

“I accept. Whatever the stipulations,” he said again and she kissed him, holding his face in her hands.

“No stipulations. Just you… Well, and the fish,” she said, smiling as she stroked his cheeks with her thumbs. “Everything else we can figure out along the way.”

“Yeah,” he breathed, smiling back at her. “The fish will be happy for a change of scenery.”

“Maybe we could even get a bigger tank? Add more to the collection?”

“I like that idea.”

“You go change him and then we can talk more about it.”

“You got it, Boss.”

“Boss? Oh, I like that,” she said and he laughed as he leaned closer for one more kiss.

Enjoy~

The water was warm. 

Yet against your freezing body it felt almost burning. Boiling. Scalded your skin on the feel- yet left the flesh normal coloured, barely tinted pink in comparison to its usual pale shade. As you stare at your hand, you understood that it couldn’t be as hot as it felt. And yet each shift- each rocking back and forth motion seemed to hurt you. The manifestation of imaginary pain. A pain you just wanted to stop as much as the responsibilities and the lonely suffocation feeling. And yet the more you thought of leaving the safety of the bathroom- of the bathtub, the more it filled you with dread. It made the tears stream harsher down your cheeks. Thankfully your crying was muffled by the sound of the running water. 

-art

You held the twins closer to your chest, cradled them. Rocked them back and forth, back and forth in the water. Here, in this tub, in this warm liquid they’d be safe and comfortable, They were protected, sheltered in their mothers embrace. Fed and clean. Not loved- not yet at least but tolerated and guarded. You were going to shelter them- from the darkness, from the yelling downstairs, from the world that only consisted of pain. You would save them from all this suffering. 

-heart

They were not loved; but at least not abandoned. They were cared for and their every need met. Even if you did not bond with them- you wouldn’t forsaken them. They were yours; your two precious ginger balls of anything-but-joy. Yours- they came out of you and you had put so much into their care and well being at expense of your own. They were the physical token- the manifestation of your deep love for your partners. More accurately- for your once partners; Dazai and Chuuya. The thought of their names broke something in you. Reminded you of your earlier argument; 

“– we think you might have postpartum depression”  

 The way they looked at you–the iciness in their eyes- as if you were a murderer. No, as if you were worse than a criminal. All because there was something so inherently wrong with you that you couldn’t love them; your twins. A sob tore through your chest, then another as the twins let out a sleepy coo’s. As if sensing your distress amidst their slumber. You brought them even closer to your chest. Then bit your lips hard- so hard you tasted blood- to hold back the wail which threatened to spill into the open. No.. Quiet. You had to be quiet. The twins were snoozing. A good mother would let them sleep. Rest peacefully. A good mother would make sure her babies were fed and happy and sleeping in her embrace the way they were supposed to. The way things were always supposed to be. Happy, cared for and safe. 

You couldn’t love them but you could be a good mother for them. You were going to do everything right for them. You would make sure they were safe and peaceful. You would make sure they did not experience the painful reality that was this world; protect them from the agony that existed all around you. The endless torture- the human existence. 

“ SWEETHEART!” 

The sound of the smashed bathroom door snapped you out of your trail of thoughts. It made you aware of water overflowing out of the bathtub and then the paddling of feet right through the mess. 

“ No, don’t take them from me. They’re mine, MINE, STOP!” you screamed as you felt hands grasp at you. You felt them grab at your arms, trying to pry them away from your twins. Two male voices hollered- the sound rang painfully in your ears. They were more desperate now, trying to take your twins out of your hold “ They’re mine! Don’t take them from me!” you screamed just as the babies were torn out of your grasp, away from your chest. 

You felt panic set in, and rushed to stand up in the tub, desperately trying to follow Chuuya out of the bathroom. You felt lightheaded, dizzy and yet forced your body out of the tub. You stumbled, your ankle bruised as your feet made painful contact with the bathroom floor. You ignored it trying to run and yet--- You were blocked by Dazai’s chest; his hands on your shoulders; they pressed down painfully onto your skin. He was holding you back from going after Chuuya, from going after the twins. 

You realized you were screaming- making inhuman wails of anguish. You were trying to escape his hold, thrashed and screamed in the inhuman fear of not seeing or hearing your babies. The terror of never seeing them again. 

“ -donna” you managed to shake one hand off your shoulder and did another desperate attempt to leave the bathroom. But Dazai held you back; he pushed you further and further away from the door and towards the bathtub. His now free hand grasped at your chin, trying to get you to look up and face him. To look at him. You thought he was saying something- could see his lips moving but all you could hear was the rushing water around you and your own desperate cry

“ THEY’RE MINE, I’m their mother, you can’t; YOU CAN’--” 

Slap

The force of the slap threw you to the ground; your knees made contact with the bathroom floor and the several inches of cold standing water there. The coldness of it sippied into your body, chilled you down to your soul. But not as much as the sudden silence in the bathroom. You didn’t realize what happened. Stumped by the fact that your normally controlled lover would dare raise his hand against you. To hurt you, to humiliate you. You. If not his lover then at the very least the mother of the twins- the children. Your children. 

You said nothing, did not even look at him as Dazai knelt down to your height a few paces away. He wasn’t touching you anymore. Did not even reach out to check on you, to comfort you. Just stared at you as if you were no different from anyone else in his life; no different from any of his so-called students. 

“ I have never had a reason to hit you. You’ve always been a smart girl- don’t give me another reason to do it, again. If you’re sick- get help.” You felt a shiver- a fear induced shudder settled in your body as Dazai stared you down. The distance between you was so painfully obvious. The clear indifference on his part hurt you more than the thumbing of your cheek and the pain in your knees. 

Why couldn’t he see that you were doing your best? That you just wanted to be a good mother, and a good partner. That you just wanted to be appreciated for everything you did. That you just wanted to be his and Chuuya’s wife. 

“ They’re fine!” Chuuya’s voice echoed from outside the bathroom. “ Heard that Mackrel?! The twins are fucking fine- thank fuck for that” 

You heard Dazai breath out a sigh- an frustrated hissing noise. His eyes searched you for a moment longer, searched your gaze. But you didn’t meet his eyes. Did not even look at him as the tears streamed down your cheeks.

In ice cold fashion Dazai stood back up. He fixed you with one final pointed look. A sharp glance filled with detest and anger. Like you were his enemy. Then he brushed past you and out towards the wailing twins and Chuuya outside. He did not care about anything else besides them. No, he left you all alone on your knees amidst the still gushing water. Left you all alone to do whatever you wanted, seemingly completely indifferent to whatever happened to you. 

More tears rushed down your cheeks, your hands balled into fists. Your cheek stung, your throat hurt. Yet not as much as the sound of your twins wailing and the words of sweetness and comfort spewing out from Dazai and Chuuya’s mouths. Words of praise and affirmation they so easily uttered towards the babies, yet not towards you. 

The kind of words that just told you, you had just lost it all.  Your family, your lovers and most probably, most frighteningly; your twins. 

Authors note:... Happy ending and resolving it all? Nope not this one either. Better luck next time?

This fic exists thanks to all the people who wished to see how this series of fics would end. Thank you so much for your continued support and motivation. I know this one does not entirely fit the style but trust me, I have a plan with it (or well more of an idea really)

Title: New Addition Part 2

You and Shinichiro were getting used to the thought of you both becoming parents. You were having a little boy, much to Mikey’s delight and Emma’s dismay. The pregnancy wasn’t getting any easier though, by now it looked like you would pop which really didn’t sit well with Shinichiro or Mikey. Both were extremely overprotective making sure you didn’t move too much. It was entertaining to see Mikey being so tiny but trying to do everything he can to help. Emma often kept you company, so you wouldn’t be so alone. She had so many questions and you answered them the best you could. 

Currently, you were in bed reading, when your phone began to ring. You looked at it and saw that it was the doctor.

“Hello?”

“Ms. (Y/N)?”

“Yes, speaking.”

“So, I need you to come into the hospital urgently.”

“Is everything okay?” Your voice grew worried, which caused Emma and Mikey to look at you concerned. 

“Yes, yes, I just believed we may have missed something. Please come today, if you can.” 

“Alright, I am on my way Dr. Sasaki,” you hung up and Mikey held his hand out.

“You aren’t going anywhere, Shin told me to keep you in bed.”

“Sorry Mikey, pretty sure the doctor over rules Shin… I am going to catch a cab with Emma to the hospital can you go to your brother’s shop and tell him the doctor called telling me to go in?”

“… Fine, I will.” You nodded and called a cab, Emma help you into the cab and you rode to the hospital. You were fidgeting a bit, as you were nervous about what the doctor would say. Emma held your hand with a wide smile, as to comfort you the best she could. 

“It’s going to be okay, I am sure it’s good news!” Emma said and you smiled.

“You are so positive, honestly thank you…” You said ruffling her hair. When you arrived you and Emma got out of the cab. You wobbled to the receptionist. Emma was trying not to laugh since you looked like a penguin when wobbling.

“Hi, Dr. Saski called me telling me I have to come in.” 

“Ah yes, come on back…” The receptionist said leading you to the room. You sat on the bed, and Emma was sitting on the couch. 

“Oh, Shinichiro isn’t with you?” Dr. Sasaki asked and you shook your head.

“No, I am sure he will be though. He was at work… is everything okay?”

“Well it’s good he isn’t here, don’t need him fainting… though I won’t blame you if you faint. Remember the ultrasounds we had trouble getting?” 

“Yeah, is the baby okay?”

“Yes, he is fine. Well, I guess I should say, yes they are fine…”

“I am sorry… did you say… They?” You asked. The doctor nodded his head and you looked at Emma who was confused not knowing what was going on. You looked back at the doctor as he began to speak. 

“Congratulations Ms. (L/N), you are having twins… both boys… the reason why we couldn’t get clear images before was because the second baby was moving around too much blocking the other baby. Which didn’t really help,” he said. You held your stomach feeling light-headed. 

“(Y/N)?” Emmas asked confused before you fainted. 

Shinichiro was working on a motorcycle with Wakasa. They were having some random conversation when Mikey burst through the door.

“Mikey, what are you doing here?” 

“It’s (Y/N), the doctor told her to come in. She went in and Emma is with her.” Shinichiro dropped the tool he was holding and stood up.

“Did he say why?” Mikey shook his head and Wakasa pushed him towards the door.

“Go, she probably needs you. Don’t worry, I doubt it’s something really bad,” Shinichiro nodded. 

“I wanna come since Emma is there,” Mikey said, and Shinichiro handed Mikey his helmet before getting on his motorcycle. Once Mikey was settled Shinichiro rushed to the hospital while still obeying all of the driving laws. Once he arrived he and Mikey rushed to your hospital room. 

“Emma~,” Shinichiro said and Emma looked at Shinichiro with wide eyes.

“Where is she? Is she okay?” 

“S-She fainted…” Emma said tearing up and Shinichiro immediately thought the worst. He felt his entire world shatter, just as the doctor came out of the room. 

“Oh, Shinichiro you are here.” 

“Is she okay? What happened? Is she hurt? Is the baby okay?” 

“Calm down…” He said and Shinichiro took a few deep breaths and Dr. Sasaki sighed softly. 

“It’s nothing bad, the baby is fine.” 

“Then why did she faint?” The doctor looked at Emma who looked back at him. She was worried for you but she already knew what was about to happen. 

“She just fainted because the second baby was hiding from the ultrasound.”

“Wait… second baby? There should only be one baby. What do you mean second baby?” Shinichiro couldn’t process the words, and the doctor sighed.

“She is having twins. Twin boys.” 

Shinichiro fainted and the doctor sighed, and Mikey looked at Emma confused.

“So 2 babies are in (Y/N)?” He asked and the doctor nodded, Mikey was the next to faint. 

“Oh brother… come on~” Emma groaned. 

“You are a strong one, I guess I should call his other emergency contact, Wakasa?” 

“Probably~” Emma sighed and pulled Mikey into your room. With the help of the doctor, Mikey was laying in the chair. Another doctor helped with Shinichiro by placing him on the couch. 

Your eyes fluttered open, as you felt someone stroking your hair. You noticed it was Emma who was looking at you. 

“Hey Pretty, are you okay?” You turned your head to see Wakasa. 

“Wakasa, you are here. Why?” 

“Well, the doctor called me after Shinichiro and Mikey both fainted. At the thought of two babies being inside you. And with you already passed out I had to come since Emma was alone.”

“I am sorry to be a bother.” You said slowly sitting up with his help.

“No need, if I was in yours or Shinichiro’s shoes. I would have fainted too.”

“I think I cursed (Y/N). I said I had hoped it was twins…” Emma said and Wakasa laughed.

“You were probably hoping for a girl. Am I right?”

“Yeah, instead she gets two boys…” Emma made a face causing you to laugh softly. You looked over to see Mikey was still passed out. Shinichiro wasn’t there though and you turned to Wakasa.

“Where is Shin?” 

“I think he needed a smoke, to process everything.” 

“Did he seem okay?” 

“I think it’s overwhelming emotions, but he is excited nonetheless.” 

“Can you go get him?” 

“Of course.” 

“I am coming with you~,” Emma said following Wakasa out. Mikey slowly started to stir confused as to where he was. He looked over at you before a rush of emotions filled him. He hopped up and held your hand.

“Are you okay (Y/N)?” He asked worried and you nodded.

“Mikey, I am fine.” 

“Does it hurt? The babies inside?” 

“No, but now that I think about it it always felt like two were inside me with how much they move around.”

“Wait they can move within you? That’s gross.” He made a face and you laugh.

“Maybe one day you can feel them kicking~” 

“No thanks~” he trailed off as Shinichiro walked in. 

“Hey~,” he said and you smiled.

“Hey~”

“Mikey, can you step out?” Shinichiro asked. Normally Mikey would have protested but he knew this was serious and did as he was told. Shinichiro sat in the chair, holding your hand.

“So…” He started.

“You fainted again?” You tried to lighten the mood.

“You did too…” He scoffed and you laughed slightly. 

“I know~” it was silent and he held your hands tightly.

“(Y/N)?”

“Yes, Shin~?”

“We are having two babies. Twins… meaning double everything. I want to apologize…” You looked at him confused and he tightened his hold.

“Why are you apologizing? You aren’t leaving me are you?” You asked and Shinichiro snapped his head up to yours.

“God no~ what the hell do you take me for…” He huffed and you sighed in relief.

“Then why are you apologizing?”

“Because I really wanted to at least buy you a ring, even if we didn’t have a wedding before the babies come. I wanted you to have at least a ring on your finger. But I don’t think I can do that with twins on the way that’s within a few months. I am so sorry… I feel like I am failing.” He mumbled.

“Sano Shinichiro~ you are not failing. I told you that can wait, we should focus on the babies anyway. We will eventually be able to afford a ring and a wedding. Just not now, you don’t need to apologize. Whether we are married or not, doesn’t matter to me. As long as I am by your side and you are in my life I couldn’t be happier. Especially with these little ones,” you pulled him close and pressed a small kiss to his lips.

“I am so in love with you Shinichiro, I don’t think you realize that.”

“God, how did I get lucky?” He mumbled before leaning down to your stomach. He placed a gentle kiss on your stomach but the babies started to kick. 

“Owe…” He mumbled and you laughed slightly. 

“I guess, Mikey’s speeches to them are starting to take root.” You said laughing as you placed a hand on your stomach.

“The brat I should be the one giving you the speeches… like how you better start eating what your mom eats. Or don’t hurt her when you are kicking…” He said to your stomach. You giggled as Mikey, Emma and Wakasa walked in. You motioned the three over as the babies continued to kick at Shinichiro’s voice.

“Place your hands right here.” You said, Emma and Mikey did and Wakasa shook his head.

“No thanks.”

“Do it…” You said and he hesitantly placed his hand on your stomach. That’s when the three of them felt the babies kick.

“Does that hurt? They are kicking pretty hard…” Emma said and Mikey was fascinated.

“It doesn’t hurt, but I think all of Mikey’s speeches about kicking butt when they get out is starting to take root.”

“That is so cool…” Mikey said as he moved his hand and felt them kicking before they stop.

“I thought you didn’t want to feel them kicking…” You said and he blushed.

“Shut up, it just seems painful and gross that they can move around,” he huffed. You shook your head as the doctor came back in with new ultrasound photos showing the two babies.

“Wakasa and Emma saw them already but you, Mikey, and Shinichiro had passed out.”

“Yeah sorry about that.” You blushed and the doctor waved it off.

“It’s okay, it’s my fault. Since I didn’t know sooner that you were having twins. Anyway, rest up a bit and you can leave. Since you did awake, just wanna make sure you are stable enough.” He said and you nodded. He left and you leaned back against the bed.

~time skip 2 years-

You and Shinichiro both had healthy babies and your world has changed for the better. You guys had a small house, you were a stay-at-home mom and he was expanding his motor shop. It was great, your two baby boys were growing up fast and it made you so emotional. Right now Mikey and Emma were holding your two-year-olds, Mikey trying to teach them to fight while Emma was scolding him. 

You couldn’t help but laugh as you continued to cook. You heard your front door open, and you looked to see your boyfriend and his friends. 

“Welcome home babe~,” You said as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to your lips.

“Hey~ that smells good,” Shinichiro said.

“Dada~!” Two small figures were running to the kitchen and Shinichiro leaned down to pick them up.

“Hey, guys~ how are you?” (son #1) smacked his against his face gently, while (son #2) laid his head on Shinichiro’s shoulder.

“Out of the kitchen, Shin~” you glared and he walked out.

“Sorry, sorry~” 

“Hey (Y/N), how are you?” Wakasa asked and you gave him a hug.

“I am good, you?”

“Just staying busy and keeping an eye on that idiot.” 

“I appreciate you, he isn’t exactly the smartest…” you whispered.

“Or the strongest.” 

“I can hear you guys!” Shinichiro yelled and you both started laughing.

“You staying for dinner?” 

“Nah, just wanted to see the boys before I went home and you. To make sure you were doing alright.”

“Yep, Emma, Mikey, and those two keep me grounded.” 

“That’s good… I am so happy for you.” He ruffled your hair like old times before going to play with your babies as you set the table. Once you were done, you leaned against the doorway and watched the commotion. Shinichiro looked over and gave you the widest smile he could muster and you smiled back. 

‘I love you’ you mouthed and he leaned back.

‘I love you too’ he mouthed back before going back to giving your sons his attention. Yeah, this was the life you had always wished for.

A Bit of Serenity

It was dark and quiet when Lavender woke. She reached over, feeling the cool empty spot next to her, signaling that she was alone in their bed. She didn’t know how long Parvati had been gone, but she had a feeling it’d been a while.

Throwing a dressing gown over her shoulders, she got up and went down the hall. 

She found Parvati in the nursery, asleep in the rocker with their daughter curled into her chest. Lavender felt herself choke up at the sight. Parvati's thick, black hair was in a messy ponytail and her nursing tank had a damp stain on it. Serena was tucked against her with her tiny fist under her cheek. Both of their breathing was deep and even, in a steady rhythm. 

She knew how exhausted Parvati was since Serena was born. Being new parents was not for the faint of heart, Lavender was learning. The baby always needed something. Food, attention, a new nappy. It was a lot. Both of them were learning to do things one handed, since they always had Serena in their other arm. 

 But she wouldn’t have it any other way. She felt a surge of love and protectiveness for the two slumbering in the rocker even as she struggled a little with feeling like the outsider looking in. But Serena wasn’t any less hers because she came from Parvati’s body instead. Parvati was quick to remind her of that.
