The Most Important Job
Cast: (Camilla x Keaton)
Prompt: Keaton tends to a pregnant Camilla

"Hey honey, look what I found!"

Keaton presented the bedridden Camilla with a dead squirrel. "Nice, right?"

Camilla sighed. "This… isn't what I had in mind."

The princess and her beloved Wolfskin had been so overjoyed when they had learned that they would be parenting a baby of their own. Camilla especially felt as though she had dodged a bullet, considering she had gotten pregnant very shortly after the war. A battlefield was no place for an expecting mother. Not if she cared to show their child even a fraction of the love she had given her siblings.

They had also found out that the child would take after Keaton and display more Wolfskin traits than human. One of them being a ravenous appetite for meat, which had incorporated itself into Camilla's recent cravings. However, dead squirrel was not quite the carnivore cavalcade Camilla had in mind.

"But it's such a nice catch! It'd even make a cute skeleton once you pick all the bones! Err, not that I'd call it cute…" Keaton blushed. "Unless you'd think so?"

Camilla smiled. "How about we just have Peri prepare us something?"

"Aw c'mon, surely there's something I can do for you!"

Camilla paused. "Hmm… Could you ask Beruka if she's finished doing background checks on all the educators in Nohr?" Keaton's ears drooped. "What's wrong, Keaton?"

"It feels like I can't ever do anything for you! All you let me do is make sure other people are doing things for you!" Absentmindedly, he started nibbling on the squirrel. "I mean," bite "I'm gonna be," bite "a daddy. I need to," bite "be responsible!" Bite.

He swallowed, having already finished the squirrel. Camilla glared. "I had asked you to bring me meat! You're the one who turned it into a hunting trip!"

"Well I just figured the gesture would be more meaningful!" The wolfman shrugged. "And you like cute things, so I figured it'd be the best of both worlds! You get meat and something cute! Meanwhile I get to be helpful for once!"

The princess gasped. "Keaton… do you think that I don't love or value you?"

"Well… I don't think you mean anything by it, but… I just feel like I'm not doing anything useful for you."

Camilla raised an eyebrow. "Oh that's not true! Keaton, do you know how many things I would attempt to do at once if this were Elise having this baby?"

"… Five?"

"Keaton, I would work myself down to the bone to the point where I'd look like those decorations in that cave we found! Elise would need her sister's help, and my little nephew or niece would be so adorable!" She sighed. "But since it's my adorable child, I can't be as active. At least not in these later months."

Camilla turned to face her husband. "Don't you get it? I'm giving you the most important job of all, to coordinate all my needs on my behalf!"

Keaton's tail started wagging. "Ahh! I get it now! Awesome, so I'm the most important person to you!"

"Foolish man, you knew that when I agreed to marry you!"

"Oh. Oh yeah." He started rubbing his neck awkwardly. "Well, I meant-"

"Hahaha. I know, I'm teasing you." Camilla waved her hand. Then her exposed eye narrowed. "Although I am actually incredibly hungry. If there isn't a steak in front of me within fifteen minutes, I will feed someone to Marzia."

Keaton raised an eyebrow. "Fifteen? Can you even cook a steak that fast?"

"Starting now."

"Uhh, I'll go find Peri."

And with that, Keaton was off.

A/N:

Someone requested a fic where Keaton tends to pregnant Camilla. What was interesting about the request was, due to the way they worded it, they didn't specify that Keaton and Camilla were married. They just wanted Keaton to take care of Camilla. But I just applied Occam's Razor. Someday though I'd like to use that loophole.

"Shockingly" I don't spend a lot of time around pregnant women, so I focused more on Keaton's perspective on things, about the actual tending to Camilla.

Funny thing is, this and two other drabbles all posted on the same day all had to do with pregnancy. Three separate people each asked for a pregnancy drabble without knowing each other. And two of them involved Camilla being the mother. The mods and I got a laugh out of the coincidence.

By the way, my profile contains a link to the blog. My drabbles appear there first, then are reposted here.
