Becoming Parents - Cassian x Reader
My train is running 20 minutes late so here’s some Cassian x Reader headcanons while I wait
Warning: slight mention of infertility, suggestive towards the end, not proofread…
You and Cassian were the last of the IC to fall pregnant and had felt torn between watching your friend’s happiness whilst dealing with the longing for a baby of your own
After decades of trying, the two of you sat down and talked it over, ultimately deciding that maybe having a baby just wasn’t in the cards for you and that the joy of playing the fun aunt and uncle would be enough
Despite deciding that you would stop trying, the sex never halted and, if anything, because even more frequent and experimental ;)
7 months later, you were at the River House helping Feyre with their new born when you sensed picked up on a change of scent
“Feyre, are you pregnant?”
“I better fucking not be after just pushing this one out!”
“Oh weird…”
You went back to playing with the babe, thinking nothing more of it until you looked up and found Feyre starting at you, a smile spread across face and eyes glistening with tears
“What? What is it?”
“Y/N… I think it’s you. You’re pregnant”
Her smile got even bigger as you stared at her in shock
“But we gave up, we thought it wasn’t going to happen”
“Clearly all that hard work paid off” she let out a laugh, wiping the tears from her face as you blinked back at her, still processing what was happening
“I’m pregnant?”
Feyre was nodding back at you then leaped over to give you a crushing hug as you felt tears slide down your face
“I have to go, I need to tell Cass…”
Feyre was up and already pushing you out the door, tears running down her own face
You winnowed to the house you and Cassian had lived in for the last 2 decades after deciding it was time to move out of the House of Wind and get a place of your own
You found a shirtless Cassian, still clad in training leathers with sweat glistening on his chest, in the kitchen putting lunch together
“Hi sweetheart, I thought you were spending the day with Feyre? Want me to make you a plate?”
He gave you a kiss on the cheek as he walked past
“Cass…” but you were at a loss for words, staring back at your mate in shock
You got a noncommittal “hmm?” in response as Cassian pulled out a plate for you and starting putting together some more food
“Cass… I’m pregnant”
He abruptly stopped what he was doing, spinning around to look at you, his face slack from clear shock
“You’re… what? Y/N?”
You nodded at him, a smile spreading across your face as you took a few steps closer and cupped his face
“Pregnant? You’re pregnant!” He must’ve noted the change in your scent and realisation hit
Before you knew it, Cassian had you in his arms, spinning your around at he let out a deep laugh
Once your feet were back on the ground, he peppered your face with kisses before kneeling in front of you to stare at your stomach
“Hi baby, I know we haven’t met you yet, but your mummy and I already love you so, so much”
He pressed a kiss to your stomach and lent his forehead against it, you felt him take in a deep, shaky breath as you ran your hands through his hair, tears falling down your face again
Cassian stood, cupping your face in his hands and starting into your eyes
“I love you”
Then he was kissing you, all while grinning against your mouth, his now shed tears mixing with your own
You pulled away, placing a soft kiss on his cheek
“I love you too”
“We’re going to be parents”
“We are”
“I love you”
“You already said that” but you couldn’t help the wide grin that spread even further across your face
Cassian pulled you into his chest in a tight embrace, nuzzling his head into the top of yours as you held him back just as tightly
You pulled away just enough to look up at him before bringing his face back down to your own, giving him another passionate kiss
“You know, just because I’m pregnant, doesn’t mean we can’t practice for baby number 2…”
Next minute, Cassian had you in his arms, walking you both towards your bedroom, your lunch and any other plans you had for the day long forgotten
