If Morga and The Devil had a second child Headcanons 🐆 💕 🐐
Based on this post x and also my NSFW headcanons here x
• Morga couldn't even think about having another child for a very long time - not with all the regrets tormenting her because of Montag. Eventually though, the idea grew on her.
• "if this one turns out an idiot, you won't get another chance"
• She doubted she could even conceive at her age*. The Devil however insisted it won't be an issue.
• That night was different than their usual intimate encounters. He took her to the heart of the forest - a place soaked with ancient magic bound to fuel forgotten rituals of fertility he guided her through. Consuming nine raw rabbit hearts, wearing a cornflower wreath during the act... She found it challenging not to sneer at such details. He though made sure she was comfortable, and enjoyed every moment. It was slow and gentle, and he held her for hours afterwards, murmuring sweet nothings into her brow as she slept in his arms.
• Morga's pregnancy was a risky and grueling one one**. Aside from usual discomforts associated with such a state (which she obviously had gone through before), she suffered hom extreme swelling, headaches and shortness of breath, as well as exhaustion and constant nausea.
• She often found the experience emotionally overwhelming, for she was still afraid to become a mother once again despite her desire to - afraid to open her heart for unconditional love which has stabbed her in the back and of failing her secondborn the way she felt she failed Montag.
• The Devil on the other hand was extremely enthusiastic about their situation as well as affectionate towards her changing form. She often found it awkward and irritating, but it would ease her worries too.
• She would mindlessly place her hand over her growing stomach and let it linger even if she caught herself doing so (no, she did not talk to it, ever).
• The Devil insisted on never leaving her side for any reason - even if he had to shapeshift to stay out of sight. To her annoyance, he also became ten times fiercer in his protectiveness over her.
• Her chronic nightmares became a lot worse
• Her ailments also worsened towards the end of the pregnancy
• "If I don't pull through, you watch over it, and you raise it better than Monty... Swear to me you will, Djevel".
• She went into labor prematurely
• The labor itself wasn't smooth either - she suffered a severe hemorrage and a fever, but luckily the Devil was able to prevent seizures (since as I alluded with mentioned symptoms, she did have pre-eclampsia).
• At first she refused to hold the baby, delirious from blood loss, but later calmed down and fell asleep with her secondborn beside her, Papa Devil guarding them both.
• They had a girl - Hel. I have a sketch of her, I'll give her a bio of her own.
• Morga would catch herself smiling as she breastfed... unless it was in the middle of the night. Hel was a great sleeper though, at least compared to her older brother.
• She would hum old war songs as a lullabye to Hel.
• Little Hel woul crawl into bed with Morga. She didn't mind.
• Jæger is far more fond of Hel than of Lucio.
• The Devil was much more hands-on with Hel than he was with Lucio. He however is a far more lenient parent than Morga.
• Morga is determined not to repeat the same mistakes she feels she made with Lucio as well as deeply afraid to lose Hel (aside from Jæger and the Devil, she is the only close soul she has left), so she is extremely strict to her daughter.
I suppose I could try and develop more specific headcanons, but those tend to develop with plotline. 😅 I also have no idea how would Lucio react that he has a younger sister... Big Brother™ Lucio sounds kind of fun though... Not for Hel.
*Don't worry, she won't die when the kid is still young. As if the Devil would allow his wife/lover to ever die.
**I mean I could let it be smooth and easy, but where's the fun in that.
