I'm not sure if this is in a certain prompt ask that you've shared in the past but, I would love it if you can write about a fem summoner telling Duma he's going to be a father! Maybe HCs of what life with a child would be like? I would appreciate it!
i have to say this is such a cool ask, thank you for requesting this!!! it got a little long and i put in in different parts, but i hope you enjoy it!!!! thank you!!! 💕💕
“Now, what was so pressing you felt the need to pull me away?”
Duma’s tone was sharp as ever, but right now, it couldn’t even begin to put a damper on the happiness you felt–with a deep breath, you took your beloved’s hand in yours, and guided it to carefully rest against your belly.
“Do you feel something, my love?”
He was obviously unamused at first, but curious–his fingers were massive compared to yours, and as he brushed them over your skin, feeling for whatever he was meant to be looking for…his eyes suddenly grew wide. From afar it wouldn’t be noticeable, but underneath his palm, there was an unmistakable bump pressing gently against your skin.
“…It’s our baby, love. A-Are you…are you excited?”
It took a few moments to sink in, for the idea to come together in his head–he didn’t believe pregnancy to even be possible, between a dragon and a mortal…but the proof was right in front of him. He was going to be a father–and you could finally tell how he felt about it, by the sneer that split across his face.
“Oh, excitement cannot even begin to describe this…you will be the most divine mother to my child, who will one day rule everything he surveys…I cannot wait, my angel.”
Duma will be much more protective over you than usual, especially when you start showing. The bigger your stomach grows, the more often he’ll keep you safely by his side.
He’d be hoping for it to be a boy, but if you find out you’re having a girl instead, he’ll warm up to the thought surprisingly quickly. He’s honestly just too eager to see his child to care.
He adores how much you glow while you’re pregnant–and even more so when you realize that it’s not the normal type of glowing, and that you light up the room even in pitch darkness. It’s a sure sign that your baby has an incredible amount of dragon’s blood, just like their father.
It’s definitely going to be a difficult pregnancy, though. After all, they’re going to be much more powerful than your body might be capable of handling–and there’ll be a lot of painful days, especially leading up to the birth.
Unlike what you might have been planning for your birth, Duma makes it very clear how it will be performed, as per draconic custom.
He prepares a room particular to your needs, the bed almost like a nest of blankets and pillows and such–and it’s just going to be you and him, though he’ll agree to have a healer waiting outside, just in case.
It’s definitely a bit nerve-wracking to have only Duma there to deliver your baby–but he makes certain to give you what comfort he can, that he won’t allow anything less than the best for the mother of his child.
The labour will be long, painful, and arduous, but your beloved is amazingly very reassuring and confident, and will be cooing praise to you right until the bitter end.
After such an exhausting, intense process, it’s no wonder that you fall unconscious after your son or daughter is born–but it is a wonder to wake up again, and see Duma carefully cradling your baby in his arms.
As soon as you’re awake, he’ll pass the child into your arms to let you hold them, a genuine smile crossing his lips at the heartwarming sight.
The thought of you being by his side forever is solidified that much more, now that you’ve brought a child into the world together–and he’s eager to raise them to be an even better ruler than he ever was.
Despite how much planning and preparation he’s put into this process, he believes it’s your right as their mother to pick their name–though if you have trouble thinking of one, he’ll definitely have a long list of suggestions until you can decide on the perfect one.
Though he’s strict, he’s surprisingly a very doting and careful father. His child is everything to him, and he’d give up even his own life to protect both them and you.
He’s very reserved about others holding or touching your baby when they’re first born, as well as being very protective over you while you’re still recovering from the birth–but eventually you can get him to give in, and let the others coo over your sweet little baby.
He does his best to bond with the baby as well as he can, even though he doesn’t really grasp how to be gentle and caring–but he’ll be open to learning from you, as you probably have a lot more motherly instincts than he does.
They probably won’t show much difference to a normal child–until they start to get a bit older. That’s when their wings start to come in, their scales grow, and your beloved has to bestow a dragonstone upon them to help them keep their second form under control.
That’s when things really get exciting, though–Duma’s beyond proud when your son or daughter starts learning how to fly and breathe fire, and will thoroughly enjoy teaching them how to be a proper dragon.
Overall, you’re certain to be very loving, attentive parents–which is fortunate, considering you’ll be raising the next generation of the most clever, and powerful dragons the world has ever seen.
