About a month has passed since that night, and Cordelia was at home on maternal leave. And little Luci was not happy about that. She noticed how Cordelia suddenly stopped coming to babysit her, leaving only Robin. She was two years old at this point and was starting to talk well, especially for a child her age. She had pretty much accept that she had four people caring for her, though Mommy and Daddy were her favorites.
One day, Robin was reading of her storybooks to Lucina, with the tyke sat on his lap while he sat on the floor of her room. Lucina looked up at him enjoying the story and smiling, liking how it had a happy ending she did not predict. Meanwhile, Robin wasn't a fan of mindless babble, but he did love making Lucina happy. Lucina looked around again and did not see Aunt Dellie, which made her sad. She looked up at Robin and asked, "Where Aunt Dellie?"
"Well she is taking a break." Robin said, not sure what else to tell the little girl. He wanted to wait to tell her the birds and the bees, so he was pinned against a wall. Lucina looked satisfied with that answer, confident that she would come back. Lucina and Robin then spent the rest of the day playing as usual. Robin didn't feel too stressed when watching Lucina, she was starting to talk more and wasn't too bratty. Robin managed to relax during this time, which was very helpful after a long day of working.
Once he was done with his workday, he returned home to Cordelia. Now that she was pregnant, he needed to spend more and more time with her, and thus he did not go out as often as he used to. Robin definitely did not see this as a bad thing, but it was certainly unpleasant given her beginning to get deeper and deeper in pregnancy.
The Shepherds garrison became riddled with the talk of Cordelia being pregnant and of the coming child. If you thought it was rowdy before, you have never seen it now. Everywhere the two went they received happy messages from their friends. From Anna trying to get her a discount on baby products, to Vaike given her a list of names for the child that he personally approved of, it was just a mess. Robin had managed to grow used to it, but made sure it wasn't too hectic when Cordelia was around. This went on for a few months, spanning almost the entirety of her pregnancy.
One day in the garrison, Robin noticed that surprisingly all of the females were not present, which perplexed him. He saw his drinking buddies at a table and sat next to them. He asked Chrom what was happening to which he was surprised, "A baby shower?" he asked curious as he took a cup of beer. "Indeed, Sumia is hosting it, and all our friends and wives were invited, so we decided to chill together." Chrom said with a smile as he took another sip of his cup. Robin couldn't help but smile as he chugged down his drink.
What ensued was one of the best nights of Robin's life. Those men managed to turn a simple garrison into an all out party. They played games, Chrom and Vaike got in a fight, while Gregor and Gaius entered a drinking contest. Lon'qu was the most sensible to them, making sure that Ricken was out of the garrison and drinking very little himself. Despite this, he still managed to enjoy himself over the course of the night. Robin always wondered what a completely drunken party was like, and it appeared like he found out. At around midnight, Robin and Chrom were sitting against a wall, leaning against each other to try and stay up. They slurred what seemed to be conversation as they were both too drunk to get real words out.
Cordelia's baby shower went pretty well. All of the girls came out to give gifts, and Sumia made sure everything was as perfect as could be. Sumia looked more exhausted from planning than Cordelia did from being pregnant. Cordelia was never one to enjoy being pampered so much, but it was all in good fun. They made sure that Virion made them tea before he went to the garrison, and enjoying small talk. Cordelia managed to announce who the godparents ended up being, Chrom and Sumia. The girls certainly did expect that, but it still was pretty sad for those who did not win. Cordelia smiled and waved as they all left, making sure to thank them for the gifts.
Sumia eventually came back to Cordelia's home, saying that Chrom had not returned home yet, the same being true for Robin. The two decided to look around for them and eventually went to the Shepherds garrison. Upon entering, they saw what remained of their party. There was broken tables, a multiple of discarded beer mugs, and many of the men sleeping hungover in the oddest of places. Sumia looked livid as she founded a bruised Chrom from his fight, and a shirtless robin who was sleeping on top of the bar. Sumia noticed how a few of the men were already dragged home by their wives, sighing from how leaving them alone for one night became.
Sumia managed to get both Robin and Chrom to the castle, where they awoke next morning in the living room. Once they came to their senses they got a great and lengthy scolding from Sumia, who brought Maribelle along to help. The two of them mostly focused on how Chrom was a father and how Robin had a pregnant wife at home worried sick. This suddenly made Robin feel sorry for his actions, as he couldn't stand the sight of Cordelia being worried or sad. Chrom had barely known his wife could blow up like that, but it was a dire subject matter, he did have a responsibility to Lucina. Robin could not help but feel bad for his friend. While Cordelia would probably be more caught up with his safety and the coming baby, Chrom would be at home dealing with this until it managed to die down.
