"Welcome back, my marvelous Peahen!"
You stared at your ever adoring Harpy lover as he greeted you affectionately. His feathers were fluffed up and ruffled somewhat as he adjusted himself on top of his over stuffed bed where he had been viciously guarding the clutch of four eggs. For as painful as those eggs were to deliver, you were more than pleased that Vil was so keen to protect them and incubate them himself. Even now, as the Harpy warbled and vocalized to you gently from atop your shared eggs.
Where the Harpy was not a skilled nest builder- much like regular peacocks- he took to your efforts with extreme affection. Even if your primary additions to this "nest" were just blankets and pillows around where the eggs stayed, Vil was more than pleased. With how protective he was of those four shelled eggs, it surprised you that he couldn't deny any contribution you made.
"Ready to switch out, Peahen?"
"Sure."
Vil slowly lifted himself from the eggs, his typically feathered stomach completely bald and plucked by the Harpy himself. Despite how much Vil preened over his feathers and meticulously cleaned them, he had been quick to pluck them out of his stomach in order to incubate the eggs properly. Where you expected him to mourn the discarded feathers, he was more than happy to use them as padding around and between the eggs themselves. Naturally, he downright refused feathers from his father and went as far as to hiss at the well-meaning male for entering your shared room.
Unbeknownst to Vil, you were not keen to incubate the eggs yourself so you employed the assistance of his father and a heated blanket. Of course you always made sure to check the eggs and check on Eric while he was on the nest, but you didn't often sit on the nest yourself. Eric was happy to help and even plucked his own stomach feathers- which you buried beneath Vil's, so the Harpy wouldn't come unglued- so he could incubate them better.
Eric had been a very involved grandfather to the eggs, turning them gently, warming them, and even chasing off any ne're-do-wells who tried to get too close. You hadn't expected the older Harpy to have such gusto when it came to chasing off unwanted visitors, but he certainly put his all into it. Even paparazzi were chased off just as viciously as poachers.
The fact that the large home had eggs was not a well kept secret. Producers, actors, paparazzi, managers, contractors, all of them had tried to stop by for an unannounced visit and all had been chased off by Vil or Eric. Even a few news stations had tried and failed to get close to catch a glimpse of your eggs. Granted, the eggs were a very unique color compared to the usual buff color of Harpy Peacock eggs, but that didn't mean others were allowed to gawk at them.
As Vil delicately got off of the haphazard nest, he made sure to quickly check over the eggs one by one. Each rainbow shelled egg was carefully turned and checked for any signs of development or distress by the ever concerned Harpy. Where regular Peafowl did not participate in egg care, Harpies were always committed to the care of their eggs.
"Alright... And you are certain you are ready to switch?"
"Do you not want to?"
"I do, I just... I worry. I know you are more than capable of handling something like incubation, but I just..."
You smiled, gently hugging the fluffy Harpy who returned the gesture in kind. Vil could act as confident as he wished, but you knew he was actually rather worried about how he would handle fatherhood. Due to his mother shattering his confidence as a chick, he had been more than a little anxious regarding his own chicks. To think the ever confident and self-assured Vil was so worried about being a good father to his chicks. It was both sweet and sad.
"I know. You'll be an amazing father, I just know it."
Vil smiled at you then- a genuine smile- before departing from the room. Odds are he was going to go binge eat and take some time for himself. He refused to eat or drink when he was sitting on the nest to incubate the eggs. Always insisting that a cold drink would make him too cold to keep the eggs properly warm, and food would be too distracting for him to stay on guard.
"... Is he gone?"
Eric slowly poked his head into the room, his feathers ruffled somewhat as he looked around to see if the coast was clear. Once he noticed Vil was no longer in the room, he cautiously entered. It was somewhat amusing to see such a famed and revered Harpy tip-toeing around his own son in fear of upsetting the beautiful Harpy.
"Yes. Vil has gone to get some food."
"Wonderful. I assume you do not want to sit this round either?"
"Not particularly."
Eric chuckled and got into the nest, adjusting his clothes so his plucked stomach could warm the eggs. Where it was true that Eric was very attuned to Vil's temper and attitude, he was also more than excited to be a grandfather. The older Harpy had longed for the chance to protect and nurture another child after his ex-wife had so thoroughly ruined Vil's trust in others. He saw your chicks as a second chance to be the father he was never allowed to be.
As Eric settled in, a sudden commotion outside compelled you to look out the window. Outside, Vil was actively chasing down a familiar black-feathered Fae Harpy. You almost wanted to laugh at the scene, deciding to film it instead. Apparently Crowley had yet to give up on incubating your eggs. The Crow had been chased away countless times by Vil and Eric, but he clearly had nerves of steel to keep showing up despite the greeting he usually received.
Perhaps Vil was a little over-protective, but you wouldn't have him any other way.
Vil right after finishing his highly practiced and carefully selected dancy dance for his beloved. He is a beautiful Harpy and he knows it, but all he really wants is the approval of his darling beloved. He certainly wouldn't mind being called beautiful on a consistent basis.
Alternate Text:
POV- Harpy Vil just finished his passionate dancy dance and is strutting up to you with full intentions to follow through.
I wanted to show the feather coverage of Harpies as well as make Vil look pretty in next to nothing. I changed some of his throat feathers to have green, given male Indian Peacocks- the species his Harpy genes are based off of- tend to have a green throat.
I think my favorite thing is how Vil seems to be the main one always trying to kidnap all the babies. I always just think
"hey! those aren't yours!"
Vil: "My mate birthed them meaning they're mine!"
like sir you have a whole wolf cub, lion cub, and foal in your arms and you are a bird
HAE!Vil: *feathers fluffed and entire body tense as he hisses* THEY ARE MINE AND YOU CAN NOT TAKE THEM FROM ME! *Holding several of the other Harem Members' young*
The Human: *watching the others fight tooth and nail to safely get their children back without mortally wounding Vil* good thing I made it a rule to not kill each other...
HAE!Vil: MY BABIES!! *Screeching and flailing the whole time*
Vil's antics are just hilarious 😂 with the kids but will it continue even when they're fully grown ? Or will it calm down his need to collect?
Beau: Papa, we're being kidnapped.
Fleur: Again.
HAE!Neige: have a lovely time at your Uncle Vi's house, and let me know if you'll be back in time for dinner!
HAE!Vil: *hisses at Neige, nearly dragging the two teen Harpies with him*
~~~~
He continues his kidnapping antics, but everyone is- more or less- used to it at this point. Due to being a literal Harem of males, the yanderes have become rather accustomed to the way Vil behaves. They know they will get their younglings back sooner rather than later, the Human makes sure of that along with keeping the peace, so they tolerate the way Vil behaves.
It was more of a problem when members of the Rainbow are young, but not so much as adolescents. As infants and younglings, Vil has a greater chance of actually convincing members of the Rainbow that he is their true father. Infants are not particularly wise, nor are toddlers and other such young minds, so they will believe him more readily. This is a problem because the individual yanderes want their children to know them as their parents, not Vil. As adolescents, the Rainbow know Vil is their step-father and treat him as such accordingly.
Vil doesn't care how old they are, they are his beloved Human mate's offspring and he is determined to be a successful father. To his Harpy brain- which is extremely instinct driven, even more so than many other Harpies due to his childhood trauma- gathering the children of his mate soothe that internalized stress and make him feel like an incredibly successful father.
There are still two holdouts who Vil doesn't/can't steal the children from; Lilia and Idia. Lilia adores his daughter Selene and will easily kill to keep her safe, Vil knows this and avoids Lilia like the plague. Idia is almost always on the Isle of Woe due to his anxiety surrounding others near his son, making it incredibly difficult for Vil to steal Charon.
The others- Malleus included- are rather tolerant of Vil and his kidnapping antics at this point. Mallenite- purple Dragon Hatchling- is actually so fond of Vil and the Poisonous Beauty Household (Vil, Rook, and sometime Neige) that he has extended their lifespans despite still being a smooth-brained infant Dragon. Malleus tolerates Mallenite being around Vil and occasionally staying the night with Vil, but will always return promptly to reclaim his youngling.
How would the HAE boys react to finding out the reader is pregnant with their child(ren)? (I’m unsure if you’ve answered a similar request but either way, I love your writing!!!)

The Hoard:
Malleus Draconia (300+)
"You... what?"
Malleus stood in complete disbelief and surprise, waiting for it to be some kind of joke made in poor taste, but the serious expression of his beloved Human never once left their face. It took only a few moments longer for him to realize his beloved Human (Y/n) was- in fact- not joking. A momentary pause gave way to genuine jubilation and joy as the air seemed to noticeably warm.
The Dragon was quick to fall to his knees and press both clawed hands eagerly to his beloved mate's stomach, as if he were trying to see the egg- hopefully eggs, plural- forming in their soft womb. Though he couldn't see them yet, he was more than elated to know that inside of his mate was the formation of his young. He would make sure that his hatchlings had what he never got the privilege of having- both parents. He never got to meet his father or mother, but he would be damned if the same ever had the chance to befall his own children.
"Are you... happy?"
"Of course I am! I am thrilled we will bring the next generation of Draconias into our humble home. Lilia is an expert in raising Dragon hatchlings- he raised me after all- so I am certain the others in the Hoard will be so thrilled to hear you are with child. Our child."
Malleus continued to hum and purr, nuzzling his nose ever so gently against the soft stomach of his beloved. How many times he has wished and hoped for such an event to come to pass. He knew there were many things to prepare for; forming the proper foundation of a Hoard for his new young, preparing the 'Cradle' to imbue the egg with his magic, just getting the egg here in the first place, deciding names, announcing it to Briar Valley, all of it. He had to make sure it was all perfect for his perfect family.
"Come, let us share our wonderful news with the rest of the Hoard, I'm sure young Grim is going to be thrilled to be an older brother."
~~~~
Lilia Vanrouge (800+)
"Repeat that for me?"
"I'm... Pregnant?"
"One more time."
"Lilia."
Lilia chuckled at the gentle scolding tone that his wonderful Human grumbled out in, their frustrated frown making him acquiesce. He had asked at least five times for it to be repeated because he just loved the sound of those words coming from someone he adored ever so much. Naturally, he was elated and looked forward to any young running around the gloomy castle of Briar Valley.
"Do you know which of us is the father yet? I'm certain Malleus will be thrilled to hear the royal clutch of eggs will have siblings."
"Yeah, the palace doctor told me based on the wings growing, they have to be yours!"
This actually made the old Bat Fae visibly pause, turning to look with wide and almost hesitantly excited eyes. Surely the sweet Human was joking right?
"They...?"
"They're... yours? Are you okay Lilia? You're not... you're not angry, are you?"
Lilia realized how his surprise must have been perceived as he was quick to immediately try and soothe the somewhat stressed and worried Human he adored. Of course he was happy, he just wasn't honestly expecting to get young of his own so soon. He figured Silver or Sebek would be next.
"No! I could never be angry, not about this! This is wonderful news! It may be a bit confusing for Silver, but he is smart and I know he will adore them as their older brother. How could he not? I'm sure Malleus himself will be more than taken with our little pup!"
Lilia was clearly happy and seemed to be bouncing as he stood behind he beloved Human, wrapping his wings around their body, all while holding their soft stomach in his hands. He had long decided to adore any child borne into the Hoard, but he knew he would be especially gentle with this one. How could he not? They were his, after all.
"Let's go tell Malleus the Hoard will have more than the Royal Clutch to take care of."
~~~~
Sebek Zigvolt (19)
"Your Majesty!"
Sebek cried as he rushed forward, keen to help despite the fact the soft Human in his arms had merely stumbled on the edge of the large rugs lain across the floor. As a retainer for both Malleus and the Human, Sebek was always keenly alert for any sign of discomfort or potential threats. Naturally, even things that weren't genuine threats were treated as such, even as Sebek growled angrily at the rug.
"Vile thing! Tripping up my Majesty (Y/n), you will burn for this!"
"Sebek."
"Yes, your Majesty?"
"I've told you that you can call me by my name, you're one of my mates, you don't have to call me 'Majesty' all the time."
"But I must! As one of your loyal guards, it is my sworn oath-"
The loud half-Fae was hushed gently by a finger over his lips, immediately swallowing down his words and paying apt attention. Of course the half-Fae was loyal, he came from a long line of guards and his non-Fae half happened to be a guard-dog species in the literal sense. He was genetically wired to be a good guard and a loyal companion.
"I just returned from a visit to the palace physician, he has confirmed I am pregnant again."
"This is wonderful news! We should-"
"Not done yet."
"My apologies."
"Sebek, when they checked, they found several heartbeats and confirmed that the embryos growing are canine in appearance with long tails. Meaning you are the father of this current litter."
It took a moment for Sebek to fully understand what was being said to him, his eyes widening and his ears sitting up at attention. His tail began a slow wag that quickly evolved into a whipping force, as he slammed his tail back and forth with barely contained excitement despite the stress inside of him.
"I'm- I'm going to be a father?"
"Yes."
"Truly?"
"Yes, you adorable crocodile-dog."
"I... I NEED TO TELL EVERYONE!!"
~~~~
Silver (24)
"Are you too cold, (Y/n)?"
"Silver, I'm fine. I promise if there was anything bothering me, I would tell you."
"I simply don't wish for you to be uncomfortable..."
"I know, and I appreciate that."
The Reindeer happily trotted through the almost jagged gardens of the Briar Valley Palace, his adored Human resting on a specially made saddle strapped to his secondary back. As the official steed, it was Silver's job to ensure that he checked in regularly with the soft Human on his back, especially after the recent announcement that they had become pregnant once more. He would be damned before anything bad happened to the Human he adored whole-heartedly.
"Silver, since we have some peace in the gardens, I wanted to talk with you about something."
"Of course. Whatever you need, I am here to listen and aid."
"At my most recent check-up to see how the pregnancy is coming along, and they made an interesting discovery. I was a bit dubious at first, but after more examination, the Palace physician discovered this one has hooves."
"... Hooves?"
"Yes."
Silver didn't really seem to understand what he was being told and vaguely thought it odd that his beloved Human emphasized the presence of hooves in regard to their newly forming young. It took several long beats of silence before the Human tried again to gently lead Silver to the right conclusion.
"Out of Malleus, Lilia, Sebek, and you, it would only make sense that the hooves were inherited from the one that is the likely father."
"That would make sense."
He wasn't getting it. A more direct approach was clearly needed.
"That means you, Silver."
This got the Reindeer to pause in place, his head cocking from one side to the other before he turned, auroral colored eyes wide in surprise.
"... Me?"
"Yes, you."
"I'm.... I'm gonna be a Papa?"
"Yes."
"Does Father know?"
"Not yet. You're the first I've told."
There was a clear excitement in the typically tired Reindeer's eyes as he hopped slightly, turning and almost dashing to the doors that lead deeper into the palace. Naturally, the increased pace meant the soft Human had to reflexively hold onto the horn of the saddle to not lose their balance.
"Silver??"
"We have to tell Father! And Malleus! And Sebek! They'll all be as thrilled as I am!"

Shinigami Woes
Idia Shroud (88)
"Oh, fuck. Like, irl?"
"The hell's that supposed to mean?"
"No! I didn't mean it like that! I just-! I mean-! I'm a sweaty, gross, gamer nerd. I honestly didn't think you would want to stick around with me or have-"
A sudden excited voice broke through what was meant to be a private conversation between Human and Shinigami, as the previously eavesdropping Ortho burst into the room. He was so excited his leg locked up beneath him, making him stumble into the kind hug of (Y/n). Of course the child Shinigami was listening, he adored both his older brother and the Human as siblings and wanted the two of them to be together since day one.
"That means you're going to have a new baby! I won't be the baby of the family anymore!"
"Ortho," (Y/n) gently scolded the excitable young Shinigami, unable to stop the smile tugging at their lips, "You know better than to eavesdrop when you weren't part of the initial conversation."
"I'm sorry, but I'm just so excited! I'll have a new friend in three years!"
This made a soft sigh escape the Human, as it was quite vexingly true; Shinigami pregnancies- even half Shinigami- took three years of gestation. Of course, no one was excited to be pregnant for that long, but such was the nature of Shinigami young.
"Yes, and you'll be an uncle. so I hope you'll teach your new family member everything you can so they are as kind and smart as you."
Ortho whooped at this, leaping up excitedly and turning on his jets to fly from the room, his voice fading away as he clearly shouted the news to everyone within earshot. This left Idia to face off with his loving and adoring Human mate who was a little less than pleased with his initial reaction.
"Why is he more excited about this than you are?"
"Ghk! I didn't mean-! What I was trying to say is-!"
The Shinigami sighed and then gave a genuine smile, one of happiness twinged with a bit of stress, but a true smile none the less.
"I am thrilled we will have a tiny ankle-biter together. I can show them all the ways technology can be used and Ortho will finally have someone closer in age to play with. But, it is a long pregnancy, and I would wage a guess it won't be easy. But fuck it, I'll grind out some parenting levels and see what Papa Hades thinks is best. We're going to have the most skilled and smart gamer-kid to ever exist with all the best stats!"

Poisonous Beauty
Vil Schoenheit (25)
"Yes, (Y/n), my Dear, what is it?"
The ever popular and busy Harpy actor glanced over his shoulder from the script he was reading, a warm smile pulling at this lovely face as he saw his beloved Human standing in the doorway. His door was always open to his two mates, (Y/n) and Rook no matter what he was doing or how busy he was. Even if he was actively hashing out contracts and deal signings, he would always have time to speak to his lovers.
"Vil, I have some news, not sure if you'll find it exciting or not, but I think Rook will be over the moon."
"Oh? And what is this 'exciting' news?"
"Since I've been having such an upset stomach recently, I decided I should go see a doctor just to make sure everything is alright with me. He said my white blood-cell count is high and the eggs are doing just fine in their now calcifying shells."
"That is wonderful news, I-" Vil paused for a moment, his neatly groomed brows furrowing ever so slightly, "eggs?"
"Yes, actually. Four healthy eggs."
"... and they have calcium heavy shells?"
"Yes. I was worried I wouldn't be able to tell if they were yours or Rook's given you both are egg bearing species, but-"
Vil couldn't wait to pull his sweet and adoring Human into his embrace, burying his face in their shoulder as he spun them around. Naturally, the ever observant hunter was keenly aware of the sounds of mirth and cooing made by his two life-partners and came to investigate what the commotion was all about.
"Roi du Poison, mon Trickster, why the sudden excitement? Has something wonderful happened?"
"Rook! (Y/n) is-! We are going to have-!"
(Y/n) gave a gentle chuckle at how much Vil struggled to get the words out, smiling adoringly at the Harpy who was cooing and fluttering his wings, his tail feathers shaking in excitement. It was clear the Harpy was besides himself with joy as his tail feathers and crest rose up into a full display, very loud cheerful calls escaping the throat of the Harpy.
"Dieu merci! What has happened to put our lovely Roi du Poison in such a radiant mood?"
"My visit to the doctors today revealed something wonderful, Rook. I am indeed healthy- despite my recent bouts of illness in the morning- and the four eggs I am carrying are healthy as well!"
"Merveilleux! My beautiful mates! We will make excellent parents!"
Rook Hunt (19)
~~~~
"Rook?"
"Yes, mon amour?"
"Is now a good time to chat?"
"Of course!"
Rook turned around from the deer he had brought home after his most recent hunt, his smile wide despite the red that tinted his hands a dark color. He was quick to set his skinning tools to the side and wipe off his hands on a nearby rag. Often, the Drider would be unable to resist putting his hands on one of his beloved mates, so he would have to make sure his hands were clean before that happened.
"What do you need, mon Trickster?"
"Well, you know how Vil and I ran errands today?"
"Oui. Roi du Poison wanted to scope out that new skin-care line that launched and you were going to have a quick health check with the doctors. I trust they were polite to you?"
"Of course they were. You and I both know the fit Vil would throw if they weren't."
"Roi du Poison does have such a way with words."
Rook chuckled in a good-natured and equally good-humored way as he curled his legs slightly, kneeling down to smile at his beloved Human. It was a habit he picked up after seeing how far his dearest had to crane their neck back to look at him, given his height advantage.
"Well, the doctor said all the numbers were well within expected range and that the eggs are thriving."
"... Do my ears deceive me? Eggs? Could it be true?"
"It is true! I wondered if they were your eggs or Vil's, seeing as we are in such harmony most times, but based on size, number, and lack of calcium in the shells, they are more than likely Drider eggs!"
Rook was quick to sweep his beloved Human off of their feet, cuddling them and holding them tightly against his chest as he peppered their face in soft kisses. Of course Rook was elated, he would be even if they were Vil's brood and not his own. There was little more he could think of that would make him any happier in that moment than to hold his beautiful mate close. Well, perhaps he would be happier if the beautiful Vil were present as well to share in the information, but no doubt the Harpy had taken a step back to allow Rook his space to celebrate.
"This is the best news you could have possibly given me! Were I skilled enough to entangle the stars in my silk that I could snatch them from the sky as payment for the joy you always bring into my life! Now we will have more joys to cherish! No doubt Roi du Poison is already ensuring everything is being set up appropriately for this next step we take on our journey as mates! Allons-y!"
"Go? Go where?"
"To rejoice with our beautiful mate Vil of course!"

Octo-Trio
Azul Ashengrotto (20)
"Come in."
The successful and business savvy entrepreneur didn't even glance up at the knock on his office door, writing up yet another contract for someone seeking to create a joint business venture in the empire that was Azul Ashengrotto's Lounge. He had long moved past the Mostro Lounge of his school-days and had become quite the tycoon in the food industry as The Human themselves had bolstered his culinary reach. Now their combined efforts had taken Twisted Wonderland by storm.
"You got a minute, Azul?"
The Octopus looked up quickly at the familiar voice of his lover and business partner (Y/n), watching them approach with keen interest as he set his pen down and moved his papers to the side. It didn't matter how much was promised or of what, his beloved (Y/n) came first. I'm his eyes, they were ranked above every past, current, and potential client.
"I always have time for you, Angelfish."
"Still refuse to call me 'Shrimpy' like Jade and Floyd?"
"I don't know why they insist on calling you such a name as 'Shrimpy' as if to imply you are a bottom-feeder!"
"I think it has more to do with the symbiotic relationship of Cleaner Shrimp and Moray Eels instead of bottom-feeders, but I digress. I do hope you have divvied up our shares adequately these past few years."
"Yes..." Azul seemed tense and uncertain now, worried that perhaps his beloved Human planned to divorce him and the twins based on the question, "I have. Mostly equal for you and I, Jade and Floyd get a little bit less, but still fair. ... Are you unhappy?"
"What?"
"Because I can fix it! I promise! Just give me a few days and-"
"Azul!"
He fell silent, swallowing back tears as he tried and failed to keep himself from spiraling. Why else would his beloved ask about shares being split if they did not intend to split from him? He had to fix it, but his own tears were making it impossible to speak.
"I'm asking because we need to split them up further and I am happy to give more of my share so you don't have to redo the book-keeping."
"Why would we need to split them further? There is Me, You, Jade, and Floyd. The only reason we would need to split any of our earnings is if another mate entered the fold or-"
Azul's mind finally caught up to him and he was struck dumb. Surely not? The several doctors he kept on retainer would have let him know if there were any differences in your hormone levels. Right?
"Congratulations, Azul, we're going to really have to split up the shares if all of them make it to term and hatch. Hope you can handle having everything split that many ways."
Azul couldn't speak after the emotional rollercoaster he had been on in such a short period of time. He didn't need to though. His tentacles- which he could usually keep on a short leash- suddenly rushed forward, wrapping around his beloved Human and pulling them to him as he kissed their face and any exposed skin excitedly. They gave a sweet laugh under the affectionate barrage of kissing, holding his face affectionately even as the many tentacles gripped at their soft flesh.
"You..! I thought you-!"
"Scared you, didn't I? I figured that's why Floyd and Jade wanted me to ask you that way, since the clutch is entirely Octopus eggs and they're both mad they didn't get the chance given how 'eager' you were to keep going."
"I should have known..! Here I was terrified you were going to make me into Takoyaki for Floyd."
"Eh, it's still on the table~"
"(Y/N)-!"
~~~~
Floyd and Jade Leech (20 & 20)
"Ne, Jade, when is Shrimpy coming home?"
Floyd whined a long complaint, dragging out each syllable as he complained to his patient twin. Jade was busy looking over recent numbers in Azul's absence while he ran errands with their shared mate (Y/n). It was sure to be a long day and everyone knew Floyd would get bored quickly after the first few stops, but he would be bored alone. Still, even with Jade mostly entertaining Floyd's whining, the Eel Merman was bored.
"They are on their way back now, Azul told me a few minutes ago."
"Well why didn't you say so sooner, Jade?"
"It didn't seem like you were in the mood to listen when you ripped that pillow to shreds."
"Whatever. If Little Shrimpy is on their way back, things are gonna get interesting again. Always is! I'm gonna give them a good squeeze for going out and leaving us behind!"
"You chose to stay-"
"Don't care!"
The door to the room swung open and in came Azul, taking the coat off of the shoulders of their shared mate with great care. He glanced up quickly, glad to see Floyd and Jade were waiting by the door. At least then he wouldn't have to go find them.
"The both of you, we have news to share."
"That can wait for me to get a squeeze of my Shrimpy-"
"No, it cannot, Floyd."
"You're no fun, Azul."
The Octopus man was annoyed with the eel but Jade was eagerly awaiting whatever news it was that they had to share. Clearly it was something important if they simply could not wait to settle and let Floyd go about his usual routine.
"If you squeeze them too hard, you'll harm the eggs, Floyd."
"Egg- oh my, has our sweet (Y/n) taken to a clutch? Congratulations."
(Y/n) chuckled at this while Azul pouted and a certain surprise overtook the Eel.
"You don't mean to say..?"
"Yeah, I'm not sure how many are Floyd's, and how many are your eggs but the doctors said they looked fine and seem to be growing properly."
Jade couldn't even respond as Floyd quickly lifted their precious Human, spinning them around while also being careful to not squeeze too hard. Both eels were elated with the idea of having their own fry and Floyd was eager to see these cute combination young. Jade was curious how it would show the combination of genetics between himself and the Human.
"We're gonna have a bunch of Shrimp Eels!"
Floyd laughed as Jade smiled good-humoredly. He looked forward to sharing his ever increasing culinary expertise with the soft Human that he was fortunate enough to share with his twin and comrade.
"Careful, Floyd, you can see for yourself when they hatch. It certainly seems our lovely family is growing."
What if Lilia joins Vil in the baby snatching chaos?
HAE!Alistair: Alright, little dears, it's time to wake up- *lifts the blankets and sees the crib completely empty* Aether?? Aurora?? Where are you two?! *Begins ripping apart the nursery looking for them*
HAE!Vil: *holding Aurora, carefully walking to stay quiet*
