You were happily married to the Captain of the Crimson Lions, Fuegoleon Vermilion. It was a scandal when you both announced your engagement, as you were from the common people, and he came from a long line of royals. Despite the initial scandal surrounding your engagement, you and Fuegoleon Vermilion were happily married. Your union between a commoner and a royal caused quite a stir in society, but your love and commitment to each other prevailed. Together, you defied societal expectations and built a strong and enduring relationship, proving that love knows no boundaries.
None of you cared for titles or what others thought of your relationship; the ones living it were you guys, and it was the happiest you both have been. Despite the initial backlash, your marriage served as an inspiration to others, encouraging them to follow their hearts rather than conform to societal norms. Your love story became a symbol of hope and possibility, showing that true happiness can be found when one dares to defy expectations.
His family accepted you with open arms, and the family power could continue the line as your magical ability was that of fire, and your control and most spells centered around lava. Your unique magical abilities complemented each other perfectly, creating a harmonious balance within your relationship. As you both embraced your powers, you discovered new ways to ignite passion and warmth in each other's lives, further strengthening the bond between you. Your love not only defied societal norms but also transcended the boundaries of magic, proving that true connection knows no limits.
Lately, you have been having weird symptoms, such as fluctuations in your spells, your mana draining faster than normal, and cravings for sweet things. It was weird since your affinity for fire made you hate sweet things.
"What are you doing?" Fuegoleon asks you as he enters your private chambers.
You look up from the book you were reading, your brows furrowing in confusion. "I'm just trying to figure out why my magic has been acting up lately," you reply, gesturing toward the scattered notes and diagrams on the table. "I've been experiencing strange symptoms, and I can't seem to pinpoint the cause."
Fuegoleon's concern is evident as he takes a step closer, his eyes scanning the room. "Have you considered seeking guidance from a skilled mage or healer? And why are you eating cupcakes? You hate sweet things."
You pause for a moment, contemplating Fuegoleon's suggestion. "I haven't thought about seeking outside help yet, but it might be worth considering. As for the cupcakes, they were a gift from a friend. I figured a little sweetness might help distract me from my magical troubles." You started crying when your friend gave you the cupcakes earlier in the day. That was another thing; your emotions were running wild this past week. Just yesterday, you were having a sparring session with Leopold, and when you accidentally hit him too hard, knocking him out, you burst into tears. It was embarrassing, but you couldn't control your emotions. Everyone in the training area stopped to look at you; some had baffled expressions. "I'm sorry; I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I have a virus or something. My mana has been draining at a higher rate, and yesterday I was crying in front of everyone." You tried to brush it off as just a momentary lapse, but deep down, you knew something was off. The combination of physical exhaustion from training and the emotional rollercoaster had taken a toll on you. You couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it than just a virus or fatigue.
"Oh, maybe we should go to Owen and see what is wrong?" Fuegoleon said to you as he sat next to you and took away the box of cupcakes in your lap. You nodded, grateful for Fuegoleon's concern and support. As you looked into his eyes, you could see genuine worry reflecting on you. It was comforting to know that he was willing to help you figure out what was going on, even if it meant seeking answers from Owen, the trusted medical expert. "I'll call ahead so they can expect us. Get ready, and we'll leave immediately."
You quickly gathered your things and got ready to leave, feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation. Fuegoleon's determination to find answers gave you hope that together, you would be able to uncover the truth behind your mysterious symptoms. As you walked out the door with Fuegoleon by your side, you couldn't help but feel grateful for his unwavering support during this challenging time.
The way to the Magic Knight Headquarters was filled with tense silence as both of you contemplated the unknown that lay ahead. Fuegoleon's presence provided a sense of reassurance, but the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on your mind. You couldn't help but wonder what awaited you at the headquarters and if it held the key to unlocking the secrets that plagued you.
Entering the office where Owen worked, you found Nozel there arguing with Captain Yami about a botched dungeon mission. Nozel's stern expression and Yami's fiery temperament clashed, creating an atmosphere charged with tension. Their heated exchange made it clear that the stakes were high, and failure was not an option. As you observed their argument, a sense of urgency washed over you, fueling your determination to prove yourself on this crucial mission. The moment you decided to put a stop to the argument, an urgency to run to the bathroom overcame you. You were not a person who would get queasy over anything, but, your body was done with the cupcakes, and they wanted to get out, no matter the way. You excused yourself from the intense conversation, realizing that your physical well-being was at risk. Rushing to the bathroom, you hoped to quickly relieve yourself and return to the mission with renewed focus and determination.
Leaving the room made such an impact that the argument stopped to look at where you were standing before. Fuegoleon was at a loss for what could be happening to your body, fearing the worst.
"Is she pregnant?" Yami asked, concern evident in his voice. Fuegoleon shook his head, assuring Yami that it was unlikely. However, he couldn't help but wonder if Yami was onto something.
As you reentered the room, you noticed the lingering tension and exchanged glances between Fuegoleon and Yami. The possibility of pregnancy seemed to hang in the air, causing a mix of curiosity and worry among your comrades. Fuegoleon's mind raced with thoughts of how this could impact your relationship and what steps should be taken next.
"Y/n, you can come on back." Owen cut the tension in the air by entering the waiting area, addressing you, and inviting Fuegoleon back with you. Nozel and Yami decided to linger around the office, wanting to see what was wrong with you. As you walked back with Owen, Fuegoleon held your hand tightly, his concern evident in his grip. The silence between you was filled with unspoken questions and the need for reassurance.
"Right, Y/n, what seems to be the problem?" Owen asked as you all settled into the examination room. Fuegoleon's grip on your hand remained firm, offering you a sense of comfort amidst the uncertainty. You took a deep breath, gathering your thoughts, before explaining your symptoms to Owen.
You tell him how you've been experiencing strange symptoms lately, such as spell fluctuations, mana draining faster than usual, and sweet cravings. You also mention that you've been feeling fatigued and have noticed changes in your appetite. As you speak, Owen listens attentively, nodding occasionally to show his understanding.
"I think I know what is wrong with you, but do you mind if I do a check with my magic?" Owen asks, pulling out a small crystal from his pocket. "It will help me confirm my suspicions and provide a more accurate diagnosis." You agree, curious to see what his magical check will reveal and hopeful that it will shed light on the cause of your symptoms. Owen places the crystal on your lower belly, closing his eyes and murmuring incantations under his breath. A soft glow emanates from the crystal, casting a warm and comforting light on your skin. You feel a gentle tingling sensation as the magic begins to work its way through your body, searching for any imbalances or abnormalities.
Owen opens his eyes with a smile on his face. "Good news, you are perfectly healthy, and with the list of symptoms and my previous assumption, I can say with confidence that you are pregnant, around six weeks." He reaches out to hand you a small booklet filled with information about prenatal care and what to expect during pregnancy. "Congratulations," he says warmly, "I'll be here to support you every step of the way."
"We are having a baby. So, I am not dying?" You start to cry with joy.
Owen nods reassuringly and says, "Yes, you're going to be a parent! This is an exciting time for you, and I'm here to provide all the necessary care and guidance throughout your pregnancy journey." He offers a tissue as he continues, "Rest assured, your health is in good hands, and we'll monitor everything closely to ensure a healthy pregnancy."
You look at Fuegoleon, who has a smile on his face that mirrors your own. He reaches out and gently places a hand on your shoulder, expressing his support and excitement for this new chapter in your relationship. You feel a sense of relief knowing that you have a strong support system by your side as you embark on this journey of parenthood.
"Thank you for your time, Owen. How often do we have to come to check that everything is alright?" Fuegoleon asks.
Owen smiles warmly and reassures you, "Typically, we recommend monthly check-ups throughout the pregnancy to monitor the progress and ensure the well-being of both you and the baby. However, if any concerns arise or if there are any complications, we may need to schedule more frequent visits to address them promptly." He emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups for a healthy pregnancy and offers his availability for any questions or concerns that may arise between appointments. Both of you express gratitude and book the appointments in advance. As you leave the examination room, Nozel and Yami look at both of you, wanting to know what was wrong with you.
"It seems that Yami was correct; we are expecting a child,' Fuegoleon says with a smile. "We just found out during our check-up," you add, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. Nozel and Yami congratulate both of you on the exciting news and share their good wishes for a healthy pregnancy.
"Can you keep it quiet for a little longer? I want to tell our families without it getting out," you asked, hoping to share the news personally and specially. Nozel and Yami nod understandingly, assuring you that they will keep your secret until you're ready to make the announcement.
As the days go by, you and your partner carefully plan how to reveal the pregnancy news to your families, brainstorming creative and heartwarming ideas that will make the announcement truly special. The excitement of becoming parents starts to sink in as you both begin preparing for the arrival of your little one, from researching baby names and nursery decor to discussing parenting styles and envisioning what life will be like with a child.
Despite feeling overjoyed about expecting a baby, you may also experience a mix of emotions, including nervousness and anxiety, as you navigate the unknown territory of parenthood. Fuegoleon is there for you every step of the way, either holding you as you cry or holding your hair as you experience morning sickness. Fuegoleon understands that becoming a parent can be overwhelming, and he is committed to supporting you through every challenge and milestone. Whether it's attending doctor's appointments together or helping you create a birth plan, Fuegoleon is dedicated to ensuring your journey into parenthood is filled with love, comfort, and reassurance.
On the day of the announcement, every one of your family members gathered at the Vermilion estate for what they thought was the normally scheduled dinner. Little did they know that Fuegoleon had a surprise in store for them. As the evening progressed, he couldn't contain his excitement any longer and decided to share the news of your pregnancy with everyone. The room erupted with joy and celebration as your family members embraced the idea of welcoming a new member into their loving and supportive circle.
Mereoleona hugged you and whispered in your ear, "I can't wait to be the best aunt ever!" Her fiery enthusiasm filled you with warmth and reassurance, knowing that your child would have such a fierce and protective role model. The rest of the family showered you with well wishes and advice, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and love for the journey ahead.
You truly felt love at such heartwarming wishes, shedding a few tears that Leopold had never seen before. He gently wiped them away and smiled, assuring you that everything would be alright. The genuine care and excitement from your family made you even more grateful for the support system you had in place. Sitting back and watching both families interact with each other, Leopold is trying to spar with his brother, with Mereoleona encouraging him. To your mother's delight, your father is engaged in a lively conversation with Fuegoleon's parents, sharing stories and laughter. The bond between the two families grows stronger with each passing moment, filling you with a deep sense of joy and anticipation for the future.
As the evening progresses, you can't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over you. Seeing the way your loved ones effortlessly blend and connect fills your heart with warmth. The genuine laughter and genuine interest in each other's lives only solidify the fact that this gathering is more than just a simple meeting of families. It is a merging of two worlds, a coming together of two sets of values and traditions. And in this moment, you realize that this is not just about you and Fuegoleon anymore, but about the creation of a new, unified family.
Fuegoleon carries you back to your shared bedroom at the estate, feeling at peace and content in each other's arms. As you lay there, wrapped in the embrace of love and security, you couldn't help but feel excited for the future that awaits both of you. The journey ahead may be filled with challenges and uncertainties, but with the strength of your bond and the support of your newfound family, you know that together, you can conquer anything that comes your way.
Fuegoleon's hands are placed protectively around your lower abdomen. "I can't wait to meet the little one," he whispers, his voice filled with anticipation and joy.
"May I ask a question?" You inquire, your voice filled with curiosity.
"Anything," Fuegoleon responds, his eyes filled with love and adoration. "We've always been open and honest with each other, so ask away."
"Is it a tradition to use a feline name for a Vermilion child?" You asked with a hint of amusement in your voice.
Fuegoleon chuckles softly, his thumb gently rubbing circles on your stomach. "It's not a tradition per se, but it has become somewhat of a trend in our family. We find feline names to be strong and symbolic, representing the fiery spirit of the Vermilion bloodline." He pauses for a moment before adding, "But ultimately, it's up to us to decide what feels right for our little one."
"So, you are not attached to the idea?" You looked at him with a smirk on your face, teasingly. "Are you secretly hoping for a different kind of name, like something related to your magic or interests?"
"There are so many ideas for names, but we still have a long way to go. I am not attached, but I would like the idea of naming them something related to our magic." Fuegoleon smiles, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"True, there are endless possibilities when it comes to naming our child." You said it with a thoughtful expression. "Let's rest for the night; it has been a long and happy day. The excitement of choosing a name can wait until tomorrow."
Fuegoleon nods in agreement, his excitement still evident. "Yes, let's take some time to relax and recharge. Tomorrow we can explore all the magical possibilities for our child's name."
You both drifted asleep, with Fuegoleon holding you close as you felt the warmth of his embrace. The anticipation and joy of becoming parents filled your dreams, and you couldn't wait to continue the journey of parenthood together.
