Prompt 12: "I think I'm in trouble." (Married!Pregnant!Eclipse)


As Blake headed home, her scroll vibrated. Thinking it might be one of her teammates, she fished it out of her pocket and checked the caller ID, only to be surprised by finding it was Sun. Said surprise wasn't an unpleasant one, though, and she smiled. Rather than annoying, she found her husband's attentiveness endearing, and actually quite helpful given her current condition. Reflexively putting a hand on her growing belly, she answered.

"Blake! Honey! Hi!" Sun immediately greeted enthusiastically.

A bit too enthusiastically, Blake realized.

"Hi Sun. Are you okay?" she asked cautiously.

"Oh, me? I'm fine! I-I was just wondering about you! So-uh-where are you right now?"

Blake frowned. This was getting weird.

"I'm on my way from Ilia's." she said. "Sun, is something wrong?"

Silence from the other end.

"I think I'm in trouble." her husband finally answered.

Blake's eyes widened.

"What kind of trouble?"

"I-"

There was a sound like a door being slammed, though it was very muted in Blake's ear.

"Sun, what was that?!"

"That would be the trouble."

"What do you-Sun, tell me what happened! What is going on? And why are you in trouble?"

She heard Sun inhale deeply, like he was bracing himself.

"I just told your parents that they're gonna be grandparents."

Blake started.

"You what?! You-You told them?!"

"I'm sorry! It was an accident!"

"You didn't even wait for me?!" she exclaimed, her ears drooping.

She'd so been hoping to see the look on her parents' face when they found out. Then, she realized something.

"Hold on, how did telling my parents I'm pregnant get you in trouble?" she asked.

She could hear Sun wince as more sounds of slamming doors as well as muffled footsteps and shouting resounded through the scroll. For a moment, both were silent.

"Was that my dad yelling?" Blake finally asked.

"Yes." said Sun. "He…didn't take the news of my getting you pregnant very well."

Blake sighed loudly.

"Don't worry, Sun. I'm on my way. But until I get there, wherever it is you're hiding, just stay hidden."

"That's exactly what I was planning to do!" Sun said, overwhelmingly relieved. "And, uh, not to pressure you, Blake, but…could you get here as soon as possible? Your dad scares me."

Blake smiled despite herself.

"I don't blame you." she chuckled, then hung up and started a light jog through the streets of Kuo Kuana, hoping she could get home in time to save the father of her yet-unborn-children from her own father's wrath.
