Elorcan family headcanons
So… today I was thinking:
When Elide and Lorcan decide to have kids they have them pretty close together
Elide is like “I have things to do. Let’s not drag this out.”
Three boys. Bam. Bam. Bam.
Talking two years between them max.
They’re all giants, inheriting Lorcan’s build.
But oh, do they love their mother, and her word is law (a wonderful example set by their father)
When the youngest is almost 14 they’re all in Orynth for one of the holidays and they’re at breakfast with most of the court and Elide looks down at her gooey egg and feels all the colour drain from her face. Then she sniffs.
She manages to stand so she doesn’t vomit all over herself.
Lorcan is there in half a second, rubbing her back
Then he stills. Every Fae in the rooms stills.
Lorcan mutters “I don’t believe it.”
Aelin: “You do know how it works, right, Lorcan?”
Lorcan snarls, Elide puts it together, vomits again.
This pregnancy is tough on Elide. Mentally she was done, she wasn’t prepared for this surprise. So even though it was exactly like her three previous pregnancies which were pretty standard with no complications, it’s just harder for her.
Lorcan does the best he can, but he can’t help but be a mother hen. What really drives Elide mad is that her three sons do the exact same thing.
That’s when she sends for Manon.
A few sharp words from Manon about how pregnancy doesn’t make a woman an invalid has the sons finding something to do elsewhere, but Lorcan stays. He always stays.
Everyone thinks it’s another boy, Elide thinks it’s another boy even though she hopes it a girl.
The only one who is certain it’s a girl is Rowan. And he’s right.
Elide just cries when the healer hands her her daughter. Lorcan cries when he takes the tiny baby in his arms. He can practically hold her with one hand.
Elide cries harder when her sons meet their sister and each one of them is crying while they hold her and gush over her but treat her with a quiet reverence.
They name her Marion
The doting that follows makes everyone smile. Those three big brothers just adore their sister. Lorcan adores her. The whole royal court of Terrasen adores her.
No one understands why Manon is her favourite. Especially Manon.
