For the pregnancy headcanons you could make headcanons for Merold, hallrit and tuxam when their s/o (who is in bed rest because she feel sick) call for them and reader just hugg and snuggle on him...but she take their hand and put in her belly to feel the baby kick for first time
Merold is usually known for his cheekiness and laid back attitude, he tries not to take anything too seriously, and often likes to poke at and tease people.
But when he gets the call that you were sick and bedridden, he immediately drops everything that he was doing, and tends to your needs.
It was the first time that you ever saw Merold look so serious, it was also the first time that he was doting over you so relentlessly, it was quite interesting to say the least.
Though he doesnāt always show it, he truly does care for you and the baby, and would go above and beyond to make sure that you and the baby are safe and healthy.
And while you appreciate his relentless doting, you werenāt really in the mood to rest, and would rather take this opportunity to snuggle and cuddle with him.
It took a bit convincing on your end to get Merold to relax and let loose, but once you did, he was out like a light once his head hit the pillow.
His nap was short lived, however, because as soon as he closed his eyes, you shook him until he was wide awake.
He looked at you, still half-asleep and groggily, wondering why exactly were you waking him up for?
You didnāt answer his question, instead you placed his hand on top of your stomach. He raised his eyebrows at you, wondering where you were going with this.
But before he could say anything, he felt a hard kick against his hand, you let out a gasp at the feeling of the kick.
You both stared at each other, too stunned to even speak, not expecting the baby to finally kick. Once you both regained your voices, both of you blurted out at the same time:
āHeard it? I felt it!ā
After the initial shock wore off, you two bursted into laughter, overwhelmed with joy that your baby was finally kicking and moving.
āTheyāre such a strong kicker!ā
āWell of course they are! They have me as their dad after all, seems like the āstrongest knightā genes are already kicking in!ā
You rolled your eyes as Merold unashamedly boasted about himself, but you couldnāt help a smile from forming, as you thought of your future life with Merold and your baby.
It was scary not knowing what the future holds, but you two had each other, and that in itself makes all the scary stuff worth it.
New to knighthood and being new parenthood? Someone cut this poor man some slack, because itās one thing after another.
First the seeds attack the kingdom, then he was told he wasnāt a good enough knight, and now he founds out that youāre sick? Safe to say, itās not a good day for Hallritt.
But even with so much trial and errors that were happening, Hallritt has never been the type to give up! He would go above and beyond to ensure your and the babyās safety, healthiness, and happiness, as well as the kingdomās.
And even though, it may look like he did a pretty awful job at ensuring both goals, that wonāt deter him from being a helping hand.
While he doesnāt like that you got sick, Hallritt is someone who likes to live in the present and think about the now. What happened in the past canāt be changed, so thereās no use in feeling upset about it.
So thatās why he does his best to make up for his incompetence and lack of attentiveness, by being there for you and taking care of you while you are sick.
Cooking, cleaning, whatever it is that you want, he would do it for you in a heartbeat. And while his eagerness to please you is very admirable and you greatly appreciate it, you draw the line when it comes to Hallritt cooking.
Not wanting to be subjected to Hallrittās cooking for fear of food poisoning, or god forbid, he burns the house down, you politely but urgently suggested that he should take a break from his caregiver duties, and instead cuddle with you in the bed.
Hallritt shot you a toothy grin, completely oblivious that youāre more scared of his cooking than the actual sickness that you were facing, and made his way to the bed, but not before pulling a Hello Kitty mask from his pockets, and putting it on.
You raised your eyebrows at the notion, since when did he have that?
Noticing your stare, Hallritt answered in defense:
āWell Iām not trying to get sick too, you know!ā
āYou know Iām not contiguous, right?ā
Grunting in disbelief, you playfully hit him with one of your pillows in faux annoyance, he of course, dodged it, before settling next to you on the bed.
The playful loud banter started to settle, until there was only comfortable silence between the two of you. You didnāt mind, even though you two were both extroverts, the times where you both just sat down and sit in silence, were one of your favorite moments. It was never awkward or stifling, but rather the opposite, peaceful and comfortable.
The silence was quickly shattered, as you groaned in pain at the sudden feeling of a sharp movement. Hallritt, immediately sat up straight at the sound of your groans, his initial happy go lucky attitude from before was replaced with a look of seriousness that you have never seen before.
āY/N are you alright? Are you hurt? What happened?ā
You could feel the sense of urgency in his voice, every word that he left his mouth was filled with so much concern and so much worry.
āYeah, yeah, Iām fine, itās just thatā¦the baby kickedā¦ā
It was like the words that you just said were not registering at all with Hallritt, for he looked utterly dumbfounded, the serious expression that he had left as fast as it came.
And then it dawned on him.
āWait the baby kicked!!ā
You rolled your eyes at him, wondering how did he ever pass his knight exam, but nevertheless, you took his hands and placed it on top of your belly, so he can feel it himself.
The baby kicked again, and this time he felt it, and he couldnāt have been any more happier.
Being the gentleman he is, Tuxam immediately went into auto-pilot mode and took drastic measures to ensure that you and the baby were healthy and safe!
From checking in with you every 10-15 minutes, bubble wrapping the house to make sure you didnāt fall, making you soup, and covering you with fifteen layers of warm blankets, it was a lot to say the least.
Tuxamās nagging and Mama Bear tendencies aside, he truly does care about you and the baby, and would be devastated if something were to ever happen to you two.
Thereās a part of him that feels partially responsible and guilty for not being attentive enough, that you ended up getting sick because of his carelessness.
And while logically, Tuxam knows thatās not the case, and that you can do everything right in the book and still get sick, he couldnāt help but feel responsible for it anyways.
After all, what kind of gentleman was he, if heās not there to protect the person that matters the most to him?
Before he could indulge in any more self-deprecating thoughts, he felt your hand on his shoulder.
And though, Tuxam puts on a brave face and acts like everything is fine and dandy, you know him better than the facade he puts on. You know how much he beats himself over the most littlest things, and it breaks your heart every time.
āTuxam, why donāt you come back to bed with me?ā
Knowing Tuxam would never say no to you, he reluctantly obliged to your request, but he still felt that there was still so much work to be done. However, all of his worries and concerns seemed to disappear the minute his body hit the mattress, snuggling your sides, and burying his face at the crook of your neck, like he was a small child.
You giggled at the sight of him, it wasnāt everyday that he let loose and act so childlike, it was refreshing to see. You grabbed the palm of his hand, gently placing it in on top of your swollen belly, wanting to bathe in this gentle moment with your soon to be child.
Tuxam smiled at you, before he leaned over and gave a big kiss on your stomach. He felt a large kick against his lips, as he did so. Pulling back from your stomach, he stared at you in utter shock and confusion, and your expression was the same.
The wheels in his head slowly start to turn, as he realized what had just happened⦠the baby kicked him! The baby kicked! The baby moved!!
āOh my god, the baby kicked!ā
You snickered at his late reaction, before adding on:
āWell it does appear that way!ā
But Tuxam was not listening to you, going on a long tangent about how he couldnāt believe it, and how excited he was, and how your baby would be the most healthiest and best baby ever to grace the Noir Continent.
Once he finally came down from his high, he looked back at you with a toothy grin, the excitement and pride were so apparent in his face, that it made it your heart ache in happiness.
āWeāre really going to be parents Y/Nā¦! Iām so happyā¦!ā
