With all the smut in all the routes I’m surprised MC isn’t pregnant. Maybe like a herb remedy that might deter her from hurting every month. (I’m Chinese, my mother makes me drink this black root soup that prevents cramps.) There’s no contraception in that time so my mind went there.
Especially Kenshin (I have others in mind as well, might post seperately.). Like, we all know the bunny lord would have no qualms with “breeding” all year long. 😉
MC starts noticing the changes in her body first, but makes nothing of it. Must be doing too much manual labor and shouldn’t I be having my period soon?
Morning sickness has gotten Kenshin’s attention first when she shot out of bed one morning. He gets even more worried as soon as he finds her hurling in a bucket.
“Call for the doctor. NOW.” He practically yells as a vassal. You can see the vassal stumble out of the estate in a hurry.
Kenshin locks her in their room until a doctor comes.
MC can feel the distress radiating off of Kenshin as he sits and stares at her.
“I’m alright…it’s probably just a bug. It’ll pass.”
“Future dialect for a sickness. It’s not a big deal my time…goes away after two or three days.”
Kenshin won’t have it. She will have to get looked at.
“Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”
Is something she doesn’t expect.
Kenshin is silent and frozen staring into space.
“Kenshin?” He didn’t answer, but she can see he’s still processing it.
Happy but unsure and uncertain of the news she just goes about her business for a few days. MC takes those days to think as well.
Kenshin has token to follow her every step and hasn’t spoken at all. He’s still processing but he didn’t seem to disapprove of the situation they found themselves in.
One morning MC found Kenshin talking to Sasuke about a serious matter and as soon as they notice her Kenshin just hurries towards her.
Kenshin hands seem to always be trying to steady her now a days.
Sasuke gives her a knowing happy smile.
Endearing as Kenshin has been acting, they needed to talk.
“This silence is killing me, Kenshin. Can we please talk about this?”
MC can see how conflicted he seemed on the whole matter and she was a bit stressed as well with his lack of response to everything.
“Yes. I’m sorry I haven’t been…I just don’t know what to think.” Kenshin buried his face into his hands, he didn’t move from his spot. MC shifted over to him and wrapped her arms around him. He was too tense to respond. “Do you want a child?”
“What?” The question through him off. “What do you mean? You’re already with a child.” Oh…right, future thinking again. He looked a bit offended for a second. “Oh, no no, I didn’t mean for it to sound like that. In my time, parents have control over if they want to have a child or not. Especially if it puts the mother in danger, but I won’t go into details about that.”
Kenshin looked astonished for a second before filing that information away and MC can feel him lean in to her. “I don’t know what to feel, there’s too many of them right now.”
“So, what’s the feeling that stands out the most?” She prompted him, nuzzling into his shoulder. “Happiness and fear.”
MC smiled as she nuzzled him even more. “I feel the same.” Kenshin seemed to slump against her, all the built up tension of the past few days leaving him.
Following that day, MC was wrapped in blankets…lots of blankets…and locked in the room.
“What if you cut yourself?”
The next few months were MC trying to convince Kenshin that it’s okay for her to do mundane tasks, but nothing could convince his anxious and paranoid mind.
She snoops around anyway.
The castle’s staff have heartattacks everytime they spot her.
You can see them in tears begging her to go back to her room before Kenshin has their head.
Sasuke had token a bit of pitty on her and showed her a few passage ways.
Kenshin was furious when he found out about her snooping and threatened to lock her in a dungeon.
It was settled on her having escorts everywhere but she’s not allowed to leave the castle grounds.
Sasuke was tasked with watching her as punishment for showing her those passage ways.
As the months go by and she starts showing, Kenshin starts losing sleep, he would wake up with nightmares of losing MC.
“It’s okay, Kenshin…I’m right here.”
He’ll wake up in a cold sweat before being calmed down by MC. He’ll cling to MC for the rest of the night.
He has literally considered sending her back to the future to have their child. If there are complications or any signs of it Sasuke is prepared to send her back.
When MC goes into labor, Kenshin just paces everywhere.
Every scream or cry of pain MC emmits he has to be restrained from throwing himself in the room and do anything to take the pain away.
Kenshin just crumbles to the floor after Sasuke tells him that his presence in the room would put MC and the baby in more danger. He just on the floor mumbing about how he has done this to her when hours has past and all he can hear are painful cries.
When she grows quite and he hears different cries, he scrambles up to throw open the door and he almost collapses from the sight of MC covered in blood and exhausted.
But smiling at the bundle in her arms.
He sprints to her side and hugs her to him. Pressing a kiss to the top of her head.
“I’m fine, Kenshin…I’m fine…just tired, but fine.”
He gets dragged out again to go scrub down before he finally gets to spend time with her. She also gets cleaned up.
When he finally has calmed down MC hands him the newborn.
So scared but staring at their child in awe when the child settles in his arms.
Error Kenshin.exe has stopped working.
Cute. Too cute. Must. Protect.
Has MC’s nose…shape of her eyes…look at how much of MC is in our child…All he can think about is how much he sees MC in their child.
MC just watches him as the baby grabs his finger and clutches it.
“You know…skin-to-skin contact strengthens parental bond with a child…”
He immediately shoves his kimono off his shoulders and holds the child against his bare chest.
Error MC.exe had stopped working.
Have I melted you guys? Have you died as much as I have as I wrote this? If you want to expand on any aspect of this, PLEASE DO. I NEED MORE KENSHIN AS A FATHER. If you view something differently with whatever I’ve written… please come chat with me…😍😍😍
