If you’re ~open~ for this request, how would Anakin act during the reader’s pregnancy? Would he be distant and anxious or protective? Or how would he be during labor? If you don’t like this prompt it’s all good just throwing it out there :)
Ty for the request! I’m gonna be honest, kids are not my cup of tea but I love you so I want to indulge you. Anything for my sweeties. I really hope you like it 🥰❤️🙏🏻

Anakin x Pregnant Reader Headcanons (fem)
Omg he would be so protective
Have you seen rots??
He hates that he has to be so far away from you all the time on a normal day, but now that he knows you’re carrying his child, he makes so much more of an effort to get in contact with you.
Thus begins the weekly calls he makes to you on particularly long missions, where he employs Rex to help him get away for a while because he has to “do that thing, remember?” *wink wink nudge nudge*
And Rex just goes along with it and keeps watch from wherever Anakin is calling you this week
When you pick up, his eyes go straight to your belly, tries to calculate if it’s grown. If he sees a difference, his face will spit into a huge grin and he’ll ask how you’re doing.
When he’s home, he dotes on you 24/7. Even if you just need a glass of water across the room, he’s already off his feet and back within a blink.
Endless shoulder rubs, back rubs, leg rubs, anything to soothe your tired aching body. He can’t even imagine the toll it must be taking on you to grow another human inside of you, and he wants to appease that discomfort in any way he can.
(It also makes him a little sad because he thinks about how his mother had to do this all alone, and by helping you he feels like he’s making her proud)
Your mood swings are horrendous. He knows you can’t really control it though, so he doesn’t hold it against you and is just so patient and caring. It helps that he can sense a mood before you make it known, so that he can anticipate how to handle it.
When you’re tossing and turning in bed at night because you can’t sleep for some reason, he’ll take you on a late night ride around the city on a speeder. Maybe get some of the foods you’re craving, and then carry you back to bed when you finally fall asleep.
You have to hide your baby bump, so your wardrobe consists of bigger, baggier clothes. Some days you can’t even look in the mirror, and once he found you crying because “you weren’t sexy anymore.” He assured you that you would always be beautiful in his eyes, especially since you were carrying his child.
Nights are his favorite because you can be alone together, and take off your baggy clothes and get into something comfortable, and let your baby bump show. He loves caressing your belly and laying his head on it and listening, sometimes speaking to it. He’ll throw around names and wait for a kick to signal a yes or a no, and jump back in ecstatic shock if he did ever feel something.
If you have to leave the planet for a job, he’ll find a way to get himself on the mission too. He’d watch you like a hawk the entire time, won’t even let anyone touch you really. Super protective Ani comes out, because anyone who tries to hurt you now, also tries to hurt his baby. Dadakin will not have that.
He’s the first to find out the gender of the baby. He comes back from a long mission, and suddenly he senses two force signatures, and he gets tears in his eyes and pulls you away as fast as he can so you can be alone and tell you and celebrate together.
The look of fear on his face when your contractions start is something you’ll never forget. Not just because of how much pain you’re in, but because… wow it all happened so soon, the baby’s coming now, I’m going to be a father, that’s a lot of responsibility, I’m not ready to be a father…
You had a plan set up so that you could secretly deliver the baby, and somehow you end up comforting Anakin as he sits on the chair next to you because it looks like he’s going to piss his pants.
Sometimes he’d get up and pace around, sometimes he’d stand over you and bite his knuckles, but when things got to a head and you needed him most, he was right by your side brushing your sweaty bangs back and encouraging you along and letting you crush his hand in yours-- why hadn’t he just given you the metal one?-- and then suddenly, the entire world stops spinning because you hear the tiny little cries and see the squirming baby and it’s like all your fears melt away and you’re both the happiest new parents you could be.
You hold the baby and he holds you and you both gaze at your child and are one big ball of love, and you’re both so excited to start raising your family.
FLUFF 🥰🥺
