Éclair/Eclipse AU
By: Sayaalv
(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
It had now been eight months since Éclair had found out about her pregnancy and had that fight with Eclipse. Éclair and Lumiere had been purged from the G.O.T.T. nearly a month ago before Éclair had the chance to try and explain the fact that the baby was Eclipses to the blond. Although it wasn't for a lack of trying on both her part and Dvergrs.
Éclair rubbed the top of her swollen stomach as she stared at the G.O.T.T. through her dark sunglasses when she felt the baby kick her again. Beside her was her partner Lumiere and they were about to launch their attack on the G.O.T.T. or, to be more precise, Lumiere was about to try and launch her attack on the G.O.T.T. while Éclair was going to try to talk some sense into Eclipse one last time before the baby was born.
Although Éclair was worried that the blond would try to kill the unborn baby should Éclair actually get to talk with her. It wasn't that hard to imagine anymore. Why Eclipse thought that Éclair could stand by and watch as innocent people were murdered right in front of her eyes she had no clue. Since Éclair and Lumiere had gone rogue about a month ago they had been chased by the very people that Éclair once saw as her friends.
Lumiere had nearly died during a confrontation between them and Un-oh and A-oh on a destroyed planet they had once visited on assignment. The baby had nearly been killed then by one of Un-oh's blasts although it wasn't intentional. In fact everyone sent after Éclair and Lumiere seemed shocked when they realized that Éclair was pregnant.
Section thirteen had nearly destroyed her with the G-command; it was only because of Armblast stopping time in her body for a short while that saved both Éclair and the baby. Although a result of this caused the baby's development to speed up slightly. Thanks to the Tweedles Donnerslag had nearly killed the baby when he self destructed in front of Éclair, it probably would have killed the baby if Éclair hadn't had thrown up the strongest nano-mist shield she could centered around her stomach at that precise second.
Éclair massaged the top of her stomach lightly again when she felt a particularly harsh kick from the baby as she stood atop an elevator shaft, aiming to go straight to Eclipse's office. Éclair winced when the elevator jerked to a stop all of a sudden because of the Tweedles, who hadn't had realized that Éclair was pregnant even when Tweedle Dee gave them a video message about what she had done to Donnerslag and La Muse. Éclair winced again when she felt a sharp contraction hit her and rubbed her stomach again.
"Not yet little one. We have to go see your other mama first." Éclair said softly to her stomach while the Tweedles were staring down at her shocked at seeing her swollen stomach.
"E-Éclair?" Tweedle Dee asked staring at Éclair shocked, the brunette was pregnant and they hadn't noticed?!
"Do you mind letting me pass? I need to speak with Eclipse preferably before the baby is born." Éclair asked softly as she looked up at the twins who were maybe a floor or two above her on another elevator shaft.
"Why should we let you?" Tweedle Dumb asked narrowing his eyes at the person who was in all likelihood, the strongest E.S. member there was.
"When I first found out I was pregnant me and Eclipse had gotten in a big fight. She didn't want to believe me when I tried to tell her who the baby's 'father' was and slapped me twice before insulting me and telling me to leave in the middle of a bad thunderstorm. I want to try and let her know for sure who the child's 'daddy' as it were is before the baby is born. I can do that much even if she hates both me and the baby right now, it's her right to know after all. Besides." Here Éclair gave a small giggle when she thought of how Eclipse was likely to react should the baby call her 'daddy' or something similar.
"I'm not in any condition to fight anyone right now." Éclair said massaging her stomach again when she felt another contraction. The Twins relaxed their tense stances slightly. It was true; Éclair wasn't in any condition to fight even a Nouvlesse school child. Doing so could mean the potential early birth of the baby, or a miscarriage from a harsh blow to her stomach.
"Fine we'll take you to see Chief Eclipse but if you try any funny business…" Tweedle Dumb said sighing and leaving the threat hanging when he saw his sister glare at him.
"I understand." Éclair said nodding ever so slightly before wincing again when she felt another contraction hit her.
"Not yet little one. Not yet." Éclair murmured to her swollen womb as the twins jumped down to be on the same level as her.
"Something wrong Éclair?" Tweedle Dee asked catching the action and the last bit of the words before looking at the pregnant E.S. member worried.
"I'm fine. The little one is just a little eager to see her family." Éclair said massaging her stomach slightly with a reassuring smile to the female twin that looked at her even more concerned now.
"Shouldn't we get you to a hospital if you're going into labor?" Tweedle Dee asked causing Tweedle Dumb to nearly panic at the thought of Éclair going into labor right then with only he and his sister to help her.
"No. I need to talk with Eclipse before that. After I manage to beat some sense into her head then I'll get to the hospital." Éclair said stubbornly and causing the Twins to sigh slightly, it was well known that if Éclair had her mind set on doing something then nothing would stop her. It was only when they got to Chief Eclipses office when they ran into anyone else.
"Éclair what are you doing here?! Especially in your condition?!" Dvergr asked immediately descending upon the brunette worriedly while Alv merely stared at Éclairs swollen stomach in shock and disbelief.
"Trying to beat some sense into my wife before our child is born." Éclair said deadpanned and her control over her emotions slowly fading as the contractions began to come quicker and quicker, also becoming more painful as well.
"Then lets hurry up and knock some sense into her thick skull so we can get you to the hospital. It's not good for you or the baby for you to be holding back going into labor like this." Dvergr said immediately spotting what Éclair was doing when she winced again and muttered 'not yet' under her breath.
"I know but…" Éclair let the sentence trail off while Dvergr nodded in understanding.
"You want the childs other parent to be there for her birth but since that blond is being a complete bitch you need to knock some sense into her first and make her see that it's her baby you're about to have." Dvergr said nodding in understanding, she had tried to delay giving birth to her own daughter because her husband had been off planet when she went into labor and she wanted him there with her.
"Come on. Let's go talk with your Blondie." Dvergr said catching Éclair when she stumbled slightly at a particularly hard painful contraction and turned for them to enter Chief Eclipses office.
Dvergr could only hope that the blond and brunette didn't do anything stupid, inwardly knowing that she might have to restrain one or the other from doing that especially given what Éclair had requested of her just after she had gone rogue.
If anything happened to Éclair and she and Eclipse hadn't made up yet then the baby was to be saved at all costs. It was to be raised by Dvergr as well as the other E.S. members if they wanted to help.
