Crosshair with pregnant Auntie plz i’m begging. it is literally my weakness and my fav bits of yours. him just being so soft for her.. 😩❤️😍

Not gonna lie it’s one of my absolute favorite aspects to write. Just the Batchers with their pregnant S/O. It’s a long-standing love of mine.

Crosshair and pregnant Auntie has me by the throat and I can literally never get enough, please enjoy.~

Crosshair acquiring little gifts/trinkets for his unborn baby.

Heart go brrrrr the first time she walks out in his blacks sporting her little swell.

Achingly gentle.

Lots of soft smiles and soft eyes when she’s not looking. Quiet admiration.

Fretting over her and baby the moment he found out but internalizing the shit out of it. In dire need of emotional support. Wrought with worry for the next solid nine months and swears his hair gets substantially grayer in that time. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. It makes him a better man.

Had to stave off the caff- for his and Auntie’s sake.

Always holding her. Always always. He just. Has this overwhelming need to keep her close. Keep the baby close. That’s his family. He’ll never let them go.

Literally his two favorite people.

Being the absolute best at helping her through her morning sickness.

Massaging away the aches and pains.

Quietly taking care of all the chores so that she can rest.

First ultrasound image shared between them is special. (Reminder Cross carries it with him from that moment on and guards it with his life.)

Murmuring sweet nothings in her ear when he thinks she’s asleep.

Just obsessed with her comfort. Always making sure she’s warm and cozy as can be with blankets, pillows, the works.

Listening to her gush about all things baby. Hooked on every word. His smile growing at the way she glows.

Lowkey terrified of the raging hormones - the spicy end of it. No denying he loves it, but needs continual reassurance he won’t hurt anything.

Can’t keep his hands off of her really. Newfound curves to explore and he’s not gonna pass up an opportunity to make her feel good.

Privately thinking of baby names. Ends up scrapping each one. “Bernadine” just. No. “Asher” was Auntie’s gem.

The first time he kisses her belly.

Being severely protective.

Wanting to fistfight anyone who even looks at her bump.

How to the ROs + Revenant react to a very clumsy MC but not a normal clumsy one but a super dangerously clumsy one (e.i: losing their footing in a very high staircase or from a roof but luckily a tree broke their fall)?

So sorry this took so long, Anon! I hope you like it!

Clumsy MC:

Astasus: Is constantly on edge - if he doesn't have his eyes on you at all times he's borderline hysterical. He will never let you fall though. If you do, you can count on him to be there to break your fall, even if he has to take it in your stead. If he has to he'll wrap you in blankets and pillows to try and keep you safe - if worst comes to worst he will carry you everywhere.

Eratine: The first few times he thinks it's hilarious. Then he starts to notice just how dangerous your accidents are and he starts to keep an eye on you the best he can. Only thing is he's not exactly graceful either, so any attempt he makes to save you makes the situation that much worse. He'll deny that he tried to help if you ever ask - he's far too embarrassed.

Bernadine: Tries to mitigate it somewhat if she's within reach, but if you aren't friends then she's content to let nature take its course. When you get close though her worries shoot up exponentially. She'll make signs and leave them wherever she thinks you might have an accident as a reminder to hopefully watch your step.

Brigid/Hesychia: Will chew you out when you get hurt, and will glare at you if you even think of heading somewhere dangerous - you will feel her eyes on your back wherever you go. If it's a minor fall she'll laugh at you, but she's probably one of the most vigilant in watching over you to make sure you're okay. She'll try to mitigate the worst of the crumbling staircases, and she'll cut the branches of the trees in the greenhouse to make sure you can't reach them and climb up.

Miki-Tane: Will also laugh when you fall, but it's mostly awkward. The second hand embarrassment is strong with this one. The danger of your little accidents has them swooping in to help from seemingly out of nowhere - it's effortless, giving off the appearance of a valiant knight. You're never truly hurt whenever they're around, but know that deep inside watching you wipe out time and time again is slowly killing them lmao.

Diacinth: If he's within reach he will try to help, but he'll second guess himself halfway through and the both of you will tumble. He's on edge, and will almost start to avoid you just to avoid the panic typically associated with watching you trip to your seeming death. As he gets closer to you, he'll try his best to help from the shadows; helping with trying to accident-proof the halls and keeping an eye on you from the shadows. This often ends up with him just as injured as you however, but he's always with you to try and break the fall.

Nonnatus: Is always there to bandage you up when you fall - after a while he starts to have nightmares of the injuries he can't fix. He's constantly fretting over you, taking on the role of a mother hen. He's cursing as he walks in front of you and warns of any potential threat, clearing the way and cussing you out the whole time. He's really worried, and he hates patching you up.

Elia: They don't have all that much influence on the material world, but they do what they can, even if that means turning your neck just right so you don't snap it at the bottom of the stairs. If they weren't a ghost already Elia would swear you were going to kill them. Will yank you back from danger to the point where you're almost more injured by them than anything else. At the end of the day though most of your accidents are hilarious to them, and they will make fun of you mercilessly. They just wish your klutzyness wasn't so death-defying.

Revenant: Is on the verge of killing you himself. The sheer panic he feels every time he watches you do anything has him pulling his hair out. You're his contractor - he's duty bound to keep you safe even if that's from yourself. He's constantly grumbling about you behind your back to himself.

Thank you for the ask, Anon!
