(very self indulgent on my part) but genshin men dealing with pregnant reader? (Please include capitano if you can👉👈)
Genshin Suitors and their Pregnant!Reader [4.7k Headcanons]
Ft. Capitano, Cyno and Tighnari, Dainsleif, Diluc, Dottore Prime, Dottore Omega, Dottore Beta, Flins and Illuga, Kamisato Ayato, Lyney, Neuvillette and Wriothesley, Pantalone, Tartaglia.
Cw. Reader here uses all pronouns and swaps in between different ones at any given time; Characters follow that logic too with nicknames. Written as a large Polycule, Lgbtqia+ relationships, Angst in some [In the sense of they doubt themselves or in Capitanos, the Natlan quest]- oh, and Neuvillette gets egged too so eggpreg/mpreg but not explicit. It's referred to as eggnancy here
Capitanos is the longest since you wanted him specifically.
Some of the following are in pairs for dual fatherhood over the growing bean because others are a bit selfish and want their babies to themselves.
The Genshin men I've included are the suitors of the realm who want kids and would have a overall positive reation [and Capitano, we're rocking with Capitano and Capitanos rockin w/ us-]]
For the “Self-Indulgence” Fic continuity; if Reader were to fall pregnant all of them [and the ladies] would be collectively caring for the reader but for the purposes of this it will be how each of them would care for Reader separately and react to being told they're the father
No worries :] this is the self indulgent account my friend!
Edit - Finally Part 2! [Here] Genshin Women Edition - Ft. Navia and Clorinde, Furina, Lauma, Lisa and Jean, Candace and Dehya [and Dunyazard], Sanganomiya Kokomi, Mualani [and Kinich] - Many of their friends or relatives show up but have very small additions
Capitano [Angst - Hurt/Comfort]
You grasp his hand and lean backwards guiding him away from the middle of the realm to a place more private. You breath in shakily when he turns to look at you confused but follow anyways
“Whats this-”
“I'm pregnant.” You blurt out before he can ask, head ducked low “I- It's…”
His hands tremble, knees buckle when your words register in his head, startling you to take a step back, but his fingers reach up to grasp at the back of your thighs to pull you back in
he hesitates until you carefully cart your fingers through his hair and slowly lift his helmet and set it to the side. he presses his forehead to your stomach gently and shudders, blinking away the prick of tears that dot his lashes
“I'm sorry.” he whispers “I am.. So sorry”
“Don’t apologise.” you brush back his hair to see his piercing cobalt four pointed pupils stare up at you with a pained expression, the carved in flesh on the bridge of his nose glow in the narrow space between the two of you “why are you apologising”
“You know why.” he mutters sombrely “I leave for Natlan-”
your eyes dance away “...Im glad. and, for what its worth, we still have time. you-” you falter, swallowing before reaching for one of his hands to cradle “You… don't worry about them. We'll see you when you get back.”
‘You would have been a great father’ goes unsaid.
“...Yes. When I get back.”
He is cutting back all of his routines to cater toward your every need or including you in them if he can't
He also requests for you to stay with him while he's stationed at home
Therapeutic full body massages, getting carried around the house, breakfast lunch, and dinner made before you even need to voice that you’re hungry
Capitano will be doing it all. there is no need to call in a midwife or house help
-even if you’re still fully capable of doing everything in the first half of your pregnancy
He's not dreamt of something so sweet and domestic since even before becoming a Khaenri’an Royal Knight.
but the sight of you and his unborn child both soothes and causes him so much pain.
During your pregnancy, he's very much still a silent protector but isn't too overbearing about it
quietly taking note of your favourite foods [which have ultimately evolved from your usual habit foods] and is making extras each time you ask for it, labeling it and freezing it down for you to eat when he's not there.
he even makes food for the baby to try when he's gone
He writes down everything he knows about himself for both you and his kin, not being one to let things stay unsaid for too long.
He sits down with you and tells you about it, too, and you both talk until you start feeling sleepy. By the end of the night, you've figured out a handful of names to call the baby
He also bathes with you and spends a while wiping you down with a flannel, having your lay back on him as he files down your nails, even taking the time to help you shave if you don't like the feeling
he no longer has family to introduce you to, but he does have some close friends within the Fatui he'd like to inform of your pregnancy if you allow him
He's not a public person anyways so if it's a no, he understands
if you say yes, he'll tell the other harbingers and a handful of his lieutenants. You soon receive congratulations gifts from all of them, his lieutenants even show up and salute you before pledging loyalty to the unborn child
it would be cute if you knew that they were coming and weren't standing outside in your pyjamas
If your mood fluctuates, he's rather calm with keeping you level-headed
if you want to rage and scream out frustrations, he will ‘spar’ with you and let you beat onto his chest
If you're getting overwhelmed, he will slow dance with you to the bed and lay down with his face buried just above your stomach between your chest and let you wrap yourself around his upper half
If you're feeling understimulated and you want to to jump around [please don't you'll stress him out] he'll do it for you, holding you close and he darts around the place or having you lay atop of him and rocking you back and forth
He will speak in Teyvat common and Khaenri’an to your stomach
One day he brings out so old dusty bags, when he unzips them to reveal some of the softest silks you've ever felt he tells you it was some of his families things he'd saved after the harshest parts of the Cataclysm occurred- never did he think he'd have someone to pass them to until now
the clothing is all odd, ripped, or just scraps but well kept
with you beside him or on his lap, he'll spend the rest of his days before his deployment stitching together a baby blanket with his and your initials.
Later, you find out he's asked the other harbingers to take over his role when you start seeing more of Pierro, Arlecchino, and Tartaglia. Someone who knew him before becoming a Harbinger, someone who cares for children [albeit not typical care] and someone who he believes is strong enough to rival him one day.
Cyno and Tighnari
These two have been so excited to hear of your pregnancy- Well Cyno was, Tighnari could tell something had shifted some weeks ago when you waddled back to bed after rushing to the bathroom with a slightly sour scent. and as the days passed with, the two of you cuddled up next to each other - yeah, Tighnari already knew. You knew that he knew, but with your silence over the matter, he put it down to the fact you were probably waiting for Cyno to return from his mission to announce it.
They both have different ways of caring for you during it. Tighnari acts as your midwife, and Cyno acts like an overeager dog.
Depending on whose baby you're having will change how they continue treating you - Dont worry its Not bad.
If it's Cynos- you’ve got a chance of Hermanubis taking interest in the baby
If it's Tighnaris- you’ve got a chance of it being a litter of Tignarians
Both are very important things to find out earlier than later
Either way, they both stick close to you when they find out. When you leave the hut in Ghandaraville, you will always leave with someone at your side because of the lack of guard rails
Cyno spends his time figuring out the more physical aspects of your care, going out of his way to spend his TCG funds towards building a larger hut in the lower banks of Ghandaraville for you, him, Tighnari, your kit/s and a spare room for Collei when she visits
Tighnari is spending his time next to your side and feeding you different protein rich meals, doubling or even tripling your intake
The biggest challenge would be Tighnari because his instincts are going to start going haywire alongside your own
Nesting instincts, hoarding instincts - Cyno [and Collei] will have to take up the mantle to cover for the both of you
closer to the end of term, Cyno will put in leave to stay home with you and send Tighnari out so he can burn off some energy
It comes to the point where Tighnari is dragging back a wild Sumpter beast he’d hunted down for the both of you to eat
Dainsleif [Angst - Hurt/Comfort]
He… does not take it well when you tell him.
He freezes and tries to think logically [Is he thinking logically?] ‘Has he told you his standpoint on it - I mean, he used to want one - but now?...’
He makes the dumb decision to walk away from you to clear his head without saying anything
and if that didn't break your heart- you won't see him for at least half a day, at most a couple days
when he does return, it's up to you how you want to proceed
He apologizes for his response, on his knees, and his head pressed against the floor, grovelling for forgiveness for leaving you even if for just a few hours
[Take him back] <
He becomes a gruff guard dog, he's not used to staying in one place long but he figures constant moving and staying in unsavoury places may do you a lot of harm so he doesn't ask for you to travel with him, no,
he also doesn't stay the whole time during your pregnancy
He leaves when he has to lead the Abyss away, so it's not like he's travelling and having fun
although every time he returns to the hovel he's created for you, you act as if he did
and he can't blame you either, so he sucks it up and does everything you ask for
he loves napping with you. You safely tucked against him and the wall, so the only way for something to get to you has to get through him first.
He has to travel so far to get you your cravings and that's what irks him the most, because it's never guaranteed that he can return with it still fresh, hot or even fully there unless you're shacking up at a hotel within the city.
He does his best, but he is still a homeless knight on the run.
Diluc
He openly cries, ugly cries too. so when you tell him about your pregnancy, do so privately
He will treat you so delicately as if you're fragile, you'll have to tell him it's okay for him to do anything but shakily peck your cheeks.
when you do, he almost crushes you with a hug and lifts you off the ground
Having a family has been something he's yearned for, more so in recent years, having met and fallen in love with you.
but to have it within his reach ignites an old flame he thought got snuffed out when his father died and his brother-
he is so grateful for you
he buries himself into his work even more than he did previously
he digs himself deep into his role of ‘breadwinner’ and focuses on the Dawn Winery under the assumption that that was what he's supposed to do
it takes a mere week of his absence for Adeline to clip his ear and drag him to you and place him under maternity leave for all his jobs
he doesn't have a clue on what to do, but his enthusiasm makes up for it
-and his dutiful staff
he hires a midwife to stay on site with you and hires adventurers to deliver foods from good hunter and the Cats tail whenever you request it
His brother visits often with your favourite Xocoatl dipped fruits and updates you on the things you're missing as to get you to whine about it to Diluc so he brings you out of the mansion for socialisation away from the four walls
Dottore Prime
“Are you now?”
He only really half listening when you tell him this in the middle of an active experiment since that seems to be the only free time he's had recently
he only pauses when he notices the segments around him have stopped and are staring at you with wide eyes
“what?.” he snaps at them before turning his head to you “What… What did you say, darling?”
you can choose to walk away to let him figure it out or repeat yourself
either way, when he does figure it out eventually and he will conclude his tests for the rest of the week and follow you back to your room for a thorough inspection to confirm your words
he had not thought it possible with his current constitution
he becomes smug soon enough, like a bird with its neck feathers puffed up
he adjusts everything in the labs to suit you. Any previous experiments of his have been cancelled or put on hold because now he is putting you on a pedestal and documenting you throughout the entire process
he has your schedule written down to the minute. Food checked over for your needed sustenance requirements and images taken every day to track the fetal development
he is so invested in the baby that it becomes his new personality
if you ask for anything, he has his segments. Do it for him. He even has a babysitter ready to go once it's out, and you're in recovery
if you want him to adjust his attitude, you will have to be firm about it and not back down when he sulks and says he's doing it for your best interest and care
Dottore Omega
screams
“Eh- Wh- Preg- We're Pregnant?!”
scoops you up impulsively and twirls you but has to set you down quickly unless he wants you to throw up on him
“...I thought I was going to be the one pregnant?”
Ignoring his initial reactions to the news, he's actually rather read up on how to care for you like a normal person
whether or not he does it entirely based on his mood for the day
he keeps you entertained throughout your pregnancy, leaving notes around the lab for you to find as you walk from place to place, leaving out food for you to snack on, ordering his subordinates to check up on you and threatening them if they're too slow
all normal things a partner does for their pregnant partner, he assures you
He's a chronic shopper for both you and his baby, spending his portion of funds from the Fatui buy you new maternity clothes, to buy the baby clothes, toys and cloth nappies, everything
he wants his baby to be the most fashionable in the realm and wants you to still feel just as beautiful as he sees you now
so know that he will be constantly praising you and reassuring you on any doubts
Dottore Beta
When he hears your words, he freezes up
Then he starts running every possible scenario
It shouldn't be possible and yet- He takes you into the labs to get confirmation so when he lays you down on his own berth, drags over an ultrasound machine and gently soothes the gel over your stomach then on the wand he is shocked to see the tiny bean that proves-
he won't let you leave the labs - no. he won't let you leave him at all now.
he has too many enemies, his own fellow segments are threats to him [not to you, never to you]
You can try your best to reassure him but he knows how they all are and if they find out you're pregnant there's no way he'd be able to keep both you and the baby to himself, he'd have to share.
He's somewhat detached as he tries to solve the equation presented to him, but he's good at multitasking
idly cooking you comfort meals he'd remember being served as a child in the house of the hearths Sumeru division all while he runs the simulation
baby proofing his room while constantly watching over your sleeping form
he will be obsessive about it and unapologetic
Flins and Illuga [Angst - Hurt/Comfort]
Flin's reaction to the news is special, even Illuga is stunned by it [doubly so with your news] but to see Flins’ face freeze in place as his human mirage splinters, his yellow eyes bug out even wider than normal and the tips of his hair lose its form entirely bursting into blue flames
Illuga, and you have to carefully shake him into consciousness
Illuga has you both sat on his couch in his home in Piramida and is fetching you a warm drink before settling in next to you so he can finally digest the fact himself
Illuga actually delves deeper into his work- and he reassures you that it's not to avoid you. It's not!
he wants to build up his leave and make sure his comrades are all fine, so when he does take leave for the birth, he can rest assured that both his family and friends are safe and sound
and he figures someone needs to be the breadwinner between the two ratniki
Flins all but leaves the ratniki during your pregnancy and into the first few years when the baby is born
but that's for later. Don't get him wrong. He still does keep the cemetery more than functioning and does his patrols, but he won't linger in Nasha town or Piramida if neither one of you is present there
Flins does hope the baby is his, not just to continue the Fae lineage, but he does not wish to watch his child grow, live, and pass as humans do. not before he reaches the eternal rest first
Illuga has to console both of you when Flins admits his fears for the child, but even he's thought of the implications of it
regardless the three of you will love the bundle when it joins you.
Kamisato Ayato
Oh, he is so smug about it after he gets over the well in his chest that's swelling up with pure happiness over the news.
The moment you tell him of the development he has you within his arms cradling your face in his palms and noses touching before he's peppering kisses over your face and dropping to your stomach next, shuffling closer to do the same there
He's got you giggling at the soft touches
The rest of your pregnancy follows that same line. Randomly, he will pull you close to repeatedly praise you and uses his words so sweetly
“You're doing so well, Anata, So beautiful, So strong”
“C'mon now your majesty, the baby needs some love too”
“My love, time to get up now - it’s my turn to help you dress for the day”
His favourite part is helping you around the estate and cleaning you after a long day
when you get to a point where you're struggling to shower he's in there helping you, the amount of water that flows past uselessly doubles because he spends most of the time in there with you just admiring you and telling you how attractive you are
His sister is coddling you and cooing at your stomach often
If it's not Ayato by your side, it's Ayaka. having the heir of the Kamisato clan puts a large bounty on your head more so than just being Ayato's lover and spouse
So the extra attention always pays off
when he hears it's not exactly safe for you to eat raw fish, he double checks the meals that come in from his retainers [a thing he never did before]
it hasn't happened yet, but he won't slack off [His retainers have already ensured to adjust your meals to suit you and the baby - the only person getting fresh fish was Ayato himself.]
Lyney
He squeals and pulls you in for a kiss, hands on your hips and moving around the place is slow circles as he whispers how excited he is, how much he loves you, he's asking how you are, when you found out-
he starts rattling off question after question
oh, he's so curious and nervous about it
he asks if he can go tell his sister and Freminet, and when they arrive to congratulate you, Lynette has to be the one to inform you of their… nature
“My brother did warn you he's also a Chartreux, right?”
you blink impishly at her, and Lyney freezes
“It means you'll likely have a litter” Freminet answers as he takes Lynette place to sit beside you and presses a hand tentatively to your stomach “We've tried to find their birth parents before…”
Lynette stares at you with a deadpan “They couldn't raise all 6 of us. Which was how we found out we weren't twins and the reason we were given up as a pair.”
So, with the haunting fact you will be having 1 to 6 with the pregnancy, Lyney has taken it upon himself to be at your beck and call
Lynette and Freminet even join in and cover for him when he's needed at the hearth
Even if it sounds ridiculous, Lynette will indulge your line of logic and banter with you based on it
Freminet won't give you a massage, but he'll work on making Fontaine's first massage chair for you
Lyney sets up a date for you every week and helps you get dressed up if you need it, even setting up home dates if you're not feeling up to public settings
Neuvillette and Wriothesley
“ah- i believe i also have some news to share, my loves.”
Dragons are very reactionary creatures, so when you announce your pregnancy, Neuvillette lights up and announces his own
the two of you find yourselves giddy and sniffly over the idea of a dual eggnancy together
Wriothesley is [rightfully] trembling off to the side at the news - both his partners who he did not know could get pregnant were pregnant and at the same time
give him a few days to deal with the emotions flooding through him. hes thinking back to the horrors
Whether Neuvillettes’ is a pseudo eggnancy due to the pheromones you're putting out that has triggered something in his instincts to activate, he is just as loving and doting to you as you are with him over the few days Wriothesley is off
knowing his past and how this may seem to him, you reassure him whatever decision he comes to won't change how you and Neuvillette feel for him.
Neuvillette spends his time making up a nest for the two of you to reside in. He doesn't know if you also have an egg or if your baby is human like Wriothesley
he doesn't have experience with either, so he does his best based on books and learnt knowledge from caring for freshly hatched melusines
with his judge duties - he does continue with the proceedings that require him, but otherwise, he delegates the smaller ones to the other judges. While he's out, he takes the time to bring you trinkets and new materials for your nest
When Wriothesley comes to and returns, you both don't let him stay finicky and envelop him in a hug, dragging him over to the built nest to cuddle puddle
any doubts are washed away as he tiredly sinks into you two
from then on out he's ensuring he surfaces from the fortress more often, spending the time to pick up groceries and essentials and bringing it into your shared home so you don't have to go out of your way to fetch anything
he double checks his tea stash for any teas that can harm either of you and takes them into the fortress itself
if yours is an eggnancy he is willing to take the mantle of carrying the egg too once it pops out [Dragon eggs probably get laid earlier than human pregnancies and develop further outside the body], although he does look odd with an egg pouch strapped to his chest and fierce look on his face warning the prisoners to keep their distance when he has to come into work with it, he is happy to do his part
If Neuvillette's eggnancy is fertile, Wriothesley will be dual wielding both eggs so Neuvillette can return to work post haste before news reporters start questioning his hiatus despite you both telling him to rest a bit more
If it's Wriothesley's baby- well, he still has a while before the baby comes out
Pantalone
He's the first to suspect it surprisingly, noticing your discomfort when laying partially on your stomach next to him, the occasional sickly feeling you've been getting when his chefs bring out certain foods you've not reacted to before [the first time he'd reprimanded the chef. The second he put him on temporary leave, the third? he took a bite of your meal himself and was left more confused than he did before]
So he asks if you'd like to come to Liyue when he gets his normal check ups as an extended holiday [he knows not to randomly ask someone if they're pregnant] and sneakily double books an appointment for you alongside his
so when you follow him up to bubu Pharmacy and your name gets called out first, you're a little miffed
He's lucky the test came up positive, and the good doctor congratulated you before he did
While he has you in Liyue, he takes you around where he grew up and waxes poetry on how he aims to be better than how he did, that he won't let you or his baby suffer
while you're able he lets you go wherever you wish, he has subordinates fetch foods from stalls, tickets for plays you want to see, even paying to book out entire fields so the two of you can take a leisurely stroll privately
once he notices your fatigue is growing and it's becoming a bit of a struggle for you to freely walk the distances, he tells you it's time to return home
from then on out, he spends his time at home with you, finding himself not able to work away from you for large periods of time
which is fine with him. He'd rather relax on his couch, you at his side, and his paperwork on the table
Tartaglia
He doesn't know who's happier about the news, him or his siblings.
regardless, he is shouting the news from the rooftops of Snezhnaya. everyone knows - His auntie, The Tsaritsa, hell even mr. Zhongli got a whole letter with the words ‘Im pregnants’ written in rushed and botched Liyuen, earning back a letter going ‘???’
He is so excited.
his form of care for you is a lot of home remedies and wives tales he's heard from his older siblings, cousins, aunties, and uncles
fortunately [or unfortunately depending on your own mentality] he gets you up to do stretches with him in the mornings and has you join him on his runs- if you decline he will ask if you will walk with him instead
if you ask him to slow down, he will
he spends a lot of time rambling about anything with his head in your lap and his palms pressed against your sides
He thinks about the baby constantly
“Hey- did you know? Auntie said if your stomach hangs low, it means we're having a little girl." “
Does Ajax jnr. That sounds like a good name? no?”
“-Whe do you think we should make their godfather; Pierro or Pulcinella? what do you mean, neither.”
