Illumi already knew you were pregnant, and I’m not talking about a slight assumption; the man literally knew.
More specifically, his suspicions were confirmed around two days after you had slept together, and he noticed you began having cravings way before your period was supposed to start.
Of course, he didn't say anything but instead started preparing, assured that you would catch on soon, and he was right again, as a week later, you decided to take a test and found out you were pregnant, and you immediately went to tell your husband.
“Illumi..? There’s something I need to tell you,” You said as you anxiously played with your hands.
“You’re pregnant. I’m aware,” Illumi stated as he took your hands in his and gave you a hug.
“H-how did you know?” You said, slightly confused.
“You’ve been pregnant for almost two weeks now,” Illumi said as he gently let his hand slide down to your stomach.
It was at that moment that you were reminded of your husband’s otherworldly intuition. Though Illumi couldn’t blame you for finding out two weeks later, as part of his preparations, he went so far as to start cooking more often.
A smoothie in the morning that perfectly concealed the prenatal vitamins he’d blended inside. They were perfect at combating any possibilities of morning sickness or dietary discomfort.
In addition, he made meals to accommodate any possible cravings you might’ve had that were also helpful for you.
Craving something sweet?
He got you a slice of your favorite cake with mango tea, a tea that is particularly beneficial for blood sugar levels and heart health, according to Zeno, the Zoldyck family’s chronic tea-drinking grandpa.
Craving something sour?
He’d cut you up a Granny Smith apple and squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on them while he made you dinner.
Craving anything and everything?
Illumi was always on his toes when it came to your needs, especially during such a sensitive time for you and your body, so no matter how odd or mundane the craving, your needs were met and satisfied always.
Illumi was almost perfectly prepared, but what always caught him off guard were your occasional mood swings.
Over time, he’d learned that the best method was to hold you and listen, and once you finished talking, to suggest that you both take a nap together so you could rest.
As you got further into your pregnancy and the baby started kicking, Illumi was glued to you.
Always trying to make sure you weren’t in any pain while also making sure that the baby’s kicks were always upwards as an indicator for a good birthing position for the baby meaning a simpler pregnancy for you.
The later you got into your pregnancy, the more you noticed how meticulous Illumi was.
Your hospital bag was already packed. He’d already begun preparing for your postpartum, and the baby bag was stocked and already at the hospital, as he wanted all his attention to be on you.
That being said, after you gave birth, Illumi immediately went straight to you as he took in the sight of you, tired and exhausted yet lovingly looking at your child, who immediately took after Illumi as they were a surprisingly quiet baby once soothed.
“You did so good. Are you alright? Do you need anything?” Illumi asked as he stood at your side, holding your hands in his.
You thought about it for a moment and said, “No, actually, I’m fine, 'llumi, you’ve been absolutely perfect.”
You then gave your husband a soft kiss as you lightly squeezed his hand in reassurance.
“Oh? Would you like to try for another one then?” Illumi immediately stated.
While this was your first child, it’s safe to assume it might not be your last. •͈ᴗ⁃͈⊹
