The Acotar guys x pregnant!mate
A/n: Normally they would just be able to smell it, but to make it more interesting let's say they cannot.
He is so delighted when you share the news with him
He teared up and held your face with his hands
"We're going to be a family"
During the pregnancy, he is as protective of you as he was when you accepted the mating bond.
He tries to give you space but he wants to make sure everything is going alright
Will constantly ask you if you need anything.
"Are you uncomfortable? Do you need more pillows? A drink perhaps?"
He is very proud of the baby that is on the way.
He is certain he or she will become the greatest fae in Prythian. How can it not with a mother like you?
When you go into labor, he panics.
He is usually very collected and knows what he is doing but right there, he loses it.
He knows how great the danger of losing you and the baby is.
He wishes he could go through it instead of you.
He brings only the best healers.
He holds your hand tight in the entire process.
He even tears up as he hears your screams.
He tries to play mind tricks to ease your pain
Of course, those tears are nothing compared to the tears that fill him once he first holds his heir in his hands.
You had a fight. And it was heated.
You rarely fight. You are generally a collected, peaceful couple and most always agree.
But then it happened. You can't even remember what it was about.
"Why aren't you thinking straight!?"
"Oh I don't know! Maybe it's my hormones messing up with me, because I'm pregnant!"
He freezes and you have time to flee.
You don't know where to go. Anywhere you went he could find you. So you just went to a random corridor, sat down, and cried.
Azriel was filled with thousands of thoughts. Pregnant. His mate was pregnant. And even worse. His mate was pregnant and alone.
He freaks out. He would hate himself until the end of time if anything happened to you and the child.
He sends his shadows after you. Of course, he tracks you within a few seconds and then he flies there.
He finds you on the floor, crying. His heart is shattered into millions of tiny pieces.
He stands in front of you. You feel his presence yet make no move to get up. You feel how sorry he is through the mating bond. "Y/n"
You look up to find his arm extended to you. "Let's go home. You and the baby will get cold."
You stare at his hand, then his face and you hesitate.
"I am so sorry, darling. I don't mean any of that. Nor does any of that matter any more. Come..." He speaks more softly this time.
You slowly raise your hand and unites it with his.
He holds you with his wings wrapped around you all night long. When he thinks you are asleep, he even speaks to your tummy, apologizing to the baby for all the trouble.
During the pregnancy, he is always with you. He lets work aside, you are more important and of course Rhys has no problem with it.
He is willing to give you anything. All you have to do is ask. Your wish is his command.
Of course, he is there when your water breaks. He carries you and flies to the healers.
Once the baby is born, he can't help but cry and kiss you, thank you for this new meaning you brought to his life.
Once he holds the baby in his hands, he smiles, glad these hands did something good.
Cassian always insisted you two get trained together every morning.
Lately he noticed you were getting tired quicker than usual but he decided it wasn't a big deal, so he ignored it.
He knew that if you couldn't continue, you would stop.
"Come on, Y/n! That cute little butt can go a bit faster now can't it?"
He laughed and proceeded to run faster in front of you, as if to challenge you and raise your interest.
He is ashamed to admit he was already 20 meters away when he turned around and saw you on the ground.
He didn't remember ever having panicked as much as he did at that moment.
He raced back and carried you to the healer.
Almost as soon as you laid down, you opened your eyes. "What happened?"
"You fainted. I'm so sorry, you should've told me if I pushed you off your limits." He apologized, a guilty look on his face.
"No that's not it..." You said in confusion.
"it really isn't." The healer agreed. "You're pregnant, miss. It only makes sense. You should be more careful."
Your eyes opened widely as you looked over your mate in shock. At first you didn't feel anything through the bond. But then, he opened his walls again and you received feelings of happiness and pride.
"I'm going to be a father... You're going to be a mother.... We're going to be parents." He began to tell himself with a prideful smile.
You laugh as Cassian picks you up in his arms and proceeds to parade with you through Velaris sharing the news.
During your pregnancy, he is super protective.
He won't let anyone come near you and he won't let you do anything either.
He will have lots of late night talks between he and your baby bump
He thinks you can't hear them but you can.
Every single night, you hear him, as he promises the baby that it'll have a happy life surrounded by loads of people who love him or her.
When your water breaks, he was training the illyrians. Gracefully, he felt that something was wrong through the mating bond and raced back to Velaris only to witness the most beautiful sight of all;
You, with a newborn baby in your arms, feeding it while smiling down at this miracle of life.
And Cassian didn't care about the tears running down his cheeks.
Tamlin is a busy man, which forces him to spend a lot of time inside the walls of his office.
And he hates it. All he wants is to spend time outside in the nature with his mate.
These days, you felt sick so he wouldn't go.
Instead he'd stay with you for the rest of his remaining day.
After the situation did not improve, Tamlin forced you to get to the healer.
Only to hear the words that would change his mind
"You will be having an heir, my lord."
Tamlin was stunned. He had so many mixed emotions on the inside. Happiness; for his mate was carrying their child. Guilt; he wasn't sure if you wished for this. Rage; did she have to use the word heir? He hated being a High Lord, why would he wish such a burden upon his child. But above all love; endless love for the fruit of his and (y/n)'s love.
He didn't say anything only thanked the healer and exited the room. He said no word about it all day.
He walked in your bedroom that night, finding you crying.
Of course, he immediately rushed at your side, pulling you into his arms, not sure what to do. "My love, what's the matter? Who hurt you?"
"Do you not want our kid!?"
Tamlin blinked. That's what you thought? "Don't be an idiot. Of course I want our child. How could I not want the life that came from our connection? I'm just really worried about him or her... This is not the life I would wish upon someone I love."
You had to explain to him that your child didn't have to become High Lord or High Lady if they didn't wish to.
Tamlin chose not to argue over the High Lady title due to your condition.
During the pregnancy, Tamlin was very sweet and tried his best to keep his anger issues within control. Nevertheless, no matter how much you'd complain about it, you weren't allowed to exit the palace.
It was dangerous. Anyone would want to hurt you and your baby. And he could never allow that.
When you gave birth, he immediately knew. After all he was always nearby.
The very second he laid his eyes upon your baby, a big smile decorated his face, and he was a new person. He wasn't just the High Lord of Spring.
He was the father of the most wonderful creature.
Lucien had wanted to start a family with you ever since he found out you were his mate.
Honestly, he thought you guys would have a baby pretty quick.
Autumn Court males tended to be very fertile.
Only he was only half from the Autumn Court.
He was a bit disappointed but he would never voice it. "When it happens, it happens. Give our baby some time." He would say.
So you can't imagine his delight when you find out, even centuries later, you are pregnant.
Lucien had always been arrogant, but now? Oh boi.
He would brag about his pregnant mate everywhere.
He would take extreme good care of you. He would hire Jurian and Vassa to help you if ever he was gone for the job.
He would spend hours and hours talking to your baby. He would even tell it stuff you didn't know about.
"Lucien... I had no idea-"
"Hush, I'm talking to my son or daughter."
He was so scared when you were in labor. A birth is always difficult, but a fae birth?
Holding the baby in his arms for the first time, he can't believe it.
Finally, he did something good.
Bonus headcanon: Once the baby grows up a little he or she loves to touch dada's scar.
Helion already has a son.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't wish to have another child with his mate.
Besides, he never got to bring up a child. When he met Lucien he was already grown.
That's why when you told him you were pregnant, he was exceptionally delighted.
Frequent visits to his libraries were a must; he had to make sure he knows everything about the baby.
That means that when he holds you at night, he might drop a random fact. "By now, he or she is able to hear us! That's why we should talk to them. Make a connection."
It's super important to him that he makes a good father.
Surprisingly enough, Meallan's mate gives a birth to a baby flying son not many months before you bring the baby into this world.
That little horse is Helion's first gift to your child.
You have to be protected and he is the master of defense. If Feyre's shields were good, yours are out of this world.
He shields your scent completely. No one other than him can touch you. And sometimes, if you wish it, you aren't seen either.
But that's only for when you insist on joining meetings.
Your pregnancy surely was one of the most enjoyable periods of your life. Helion makes sure you are well protected and loved.
And when the baby comes, a new light shines in Helion's life.
The very second he holds him or her in his arms, he vows to be there for them as long as they need for everything.
