Pregnancy Headcannons - Simon Basset
Tumblr media
• Far from happy when you told him
• He had tried really hard so you wouldn't get pregnant
• "No, no, no, we were careful. I-I-I..."
• It was a complete accident
• He was furious
• His temper got the better of him and he blamed you
• Stormed off
• He went to the bar and drank the day away
• But he refused to abandon his child like his father did
• Simon was distant and unhappy but promised to raise this child
• He knew he was harsh but he made it clear this was a mistake...your "first and only child"
• Simon told Lady Danbury through gritted teeth
• "We're in a bit of a predicament...she's with child."
• He told you he didn't care about the gender at all
• "I don't care what the bloody child is, as long as they aren't a brat."
• Deep down though he wanted a girl, in hopes of destroying the Hastings name
• Simon's icy facade started to melt when your bump starting showing
• He was only human after all
• The sight of the woman he loves glowing with love and happiness was almost too much for him
• It made him want to go back on everything he ever said and have as many children as possible with you
• It was no longer possible for him to distance himself from you
• He would run to your aid when you tried to lift something heavy
• Or make sure the maids were getting you enough water, vitamins, and drinks
• Started listening in on your doctor check ups, which he'd previously ignored
• Simon rarely touched your bump
• Even with Simon warming up to the idea of your pregnancy he still made it clear he would support this child, but you'd never carry another
• That was until you were about 5 months pregnant
• One night you and Simon were out at some dinner you forced him to go to. He had been grumpy the whole night, so you went outside at one moment to avoid his attitude. Your outfit was a fairly nice one with some nice jewelry, which some drunk man across the road had realized, so he lunged at you, hoping to grab your necklace. You screamed and before you knew it the man was knocked to the ground Simon gripping your shaking frame. You sobbed and sobbed, so Simon called the carriage and you made your way home. It occurred to Simon how out of hand the situation could've gotten. And for the first time Simon's shaky hands rested protectively over your bump the rest of the ride home.
• "It's okay, y-you're okay. I'm here, I'll keep your safe...b-both of you."
• That night after you'd finally calmed down he broke down
• "I could've lost you both. I'm the luckiest man on earth. A child with the woman I love and I've been a complete dick."
• He knew he couldn't make up for the way he acted the last few months, so he told you he wanted to be as involved as you'd let him be
• Simon opened up to you and explained why he'd been so upset about the pregnancy
• Of course you forgave him, after that the two of you really began life as a growing family
• Simon constantly had a protective arm wrapped around your bump
• "Your mother says you can hear me. Personally, I don't believe her but I'd like to live long enough to meet you, so I won't argue. Well, um, hello I suppose. I-I, um, love you."
• The first time your baby kicked was when he was "pointlessly" taking to them
• He had been rambling in a bored voice, but he perked up immediately after the kick
• "Can you hear me! (Y/n), I'm not necessarily saying you're right but maybe they can hear me."
• He talked to the baby a lot more after that
• Simon didn't make you go to any balls
• He didn't like them and you got tired after staying on your feet too long
• You still threw a party at the end of the season because Simon is a duke after all
• Simon hates parties but he loves you so much he did most of the set-up so you could rest
• When you went into labor Simon was calm and collected
• Simon almost choked the doctor when they told him he should wait outside
• He let you squeeze the life out of his hand
• When cries filled the room his face was a mixture of complete joy and fear
• It was a boy
• You could tell that rattle him a little but he was happy nonetheless
• "Hello." Simon looked at the child awkwardly. "I'm your father." The baby cuddled closer to Simon and he seemed to relax. "You have nothing to worry about. I'll always keep you safe, and I'll never leave you. I would never leave my son."
