A/N: Sorry I seemed to scar a lot of you with that story last night. Also not sorry. I'm also sorry that this is so late! I was at a college audition today, am currently too tired to pass a roadside sobriety test, and have like 10 hours worth of Homework. Yay Senior Year! Anyway, this story is one of those that I've been super excited about since the beginning. The main theme was prompted by rebecina1 on Tumblr, so this one's for you! Also, please note, this story takes place 2 years after the rest of the previous stories.
Chapter 12(2 years in the future): Santa Baby
Flynn and Eve had just arrived at their apartment, retiring after a long day at the Library. Flynn walked in the door and immediately fell onto the couch, laying down and shutting his eyes.
"Don't fall asleep yet Librarian" Eve said, taking off her scarf. "There's something I want to do"
"Not tonight Eve" Flynn groaned. "I'm tired
"Not that" she scolded. "I have an early Christmas present for you!"
"Eve it's December 12th" Flynn said, sitting up.
"So?"
"So why am I opening a present now?!"
"Because I have a present to give you!"
"You know I don't like opening anything until at least Christmas Eve" Flynn whined. "And that's not for 12 days!"
"Too bad" Eve retorted, a smug grin plastered on her face. "It's a Christmas season gift and if I wait until Christmas, you won't be able to use it for another year"
"But I don't even have anything for you"
"Don't worry about it. Let's just say it's something we can both enjoy"
Eve grabbed Flynn's arm and attempted to pull him up to standing, dragging him off of the couch. He whined in retaliation.
"Come on" she said. "The gift is in our room"
"Good" Flynn joked. "That puts me one step closer to going to sleep"
Eve laughed and eagerly walked to their bedroom, Flynn following far behind her, dragging his feet. She reached behind the night table and pulled out a gift bag, filled with mounds of red and green tissue paper.
Flynn was already sitting on the bed, taking off his shoes. She sat down next to him and placed the bag down in between them, watching him with anticipation. She couldn't wait to see his face when he opened it.
"Really Eve" he said. "Can't this wait until Christmas?"
"No!" she yelled. "Open it!"
"But…"
"Just open it!"
She was getting frustrated with him, though she still could not let go of the joy deep inside of her. Not that there wasn't fear there too. She could only hope that Flynn would like what she had for him.
"Fine" Flynn sighed, only ever striving to make Eve happy. Thus, he could not help but smile as she watched her beam while he reached past the wrapping paper.
He pulled out something soft and squishy, wrapped in paper on its own. He peeled away the wrappings to reveal a bright red shirt. He held it up and turned it towards him, reading the print.
Mr. Claus
"Oh wow" he said, a little bit underwhelmed. Not that he didn't appreciate the gift, it was just with the way she was acting, he was anticipating more. "Thanks sweetie."
"You're welcome" she said. "And look"
Eve pulled open the jacket she was still wearing to reveal her own shirt. It was the same design, only reading, Mrs. Claus, rather than Mr. Flynn chuckled. He had to admit: he really did love the shirts.
"Thank you Eve they're great" he said. He leaned in and gave her a short kiss on the lips, before she pushed him away excitedly.
"There's something else in there" she exclaimed. He was confused. She looked as if she were about to bounce out of her seat.
Flynn reached into the bag again and felt another soft bundle, smaller this time. He laughed, not paying much attention as he pulled away the paper. What was it with her and novelty shirts all of a sudden?
Eve barely breathed as Flynn opened the gift. This was it: the big moment. He was mumbling different things before he noticed what he was holding, and fell speechless.
In his hands, Flynn held up a tiny green onesie, the front reading Baby Claus. He didn't know what to do. Shocked, he looked at Eve, and she simply nodded.
"Oh my god!" he exclaimed, pushing the gift bag to the floor and rushing to embrace his wife. She was laughing, he was beaming, and tears were building up in both of their eyes.
"So you're really…" Flynn began, those words all he was able to manage. Eve laughed and nodded, beaming like a kid at Disneyland.
Flynn leaned in and kissed her deeply, emitting love for both his wife, and the child he'd only known about for a few moments.
"We're going to have a family Eve" he said, starting to cry. "Just you, and me, and a little baby"
"Yes we are Librarian" she cried, grabbing his hands. She moved one of them to touch her stomach. "Our very own little Librarian" she muttered.
"I love you so much'' he whispered.
"I love you too"
"And I love you" Flynn cooed, leaning towards Eve's stomach. The Guardian chuckled and rolled her eyes.
The couple scooted farther back onto the bed, laying down on their pillows and holding each other. Within five minutes, before they could even change into pajamas, they'd both fallen asleep.
Flynn's hand rested on Eve's stomach, his mind already flooded with thoughts of how their life would change. All through the night, it never managed to fall from that spot. Librarian and Guardian: they'd found home years ago, and now family was coming for them too.
A/N: Pregnant!Eve fics are some of my favorite to read and write. Anyway, we're officially halfway through! It's so bittersweet! I can't believe how wonderful this has been so far, and I'm so sad it's halfway over. See you tomorrow LITs with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and the anticipation of a new episode! Until then! Merry Christmas!
