girl (gn) help i’m having more arlecchino dad thoughts……..

cw. selfship coded + mentions of childbirth and blood, pregnancy utc

after her daughter is born arle takes straight up two months of paternity leave to care for both wife (you) and her child. her position, which she still nonetheless holds, is temporarily filled by lyney as a sort of trial run to see how well he takes to his duty as arle’s successor. he’s nervous but determined to succeed and prove his worth (also arle said if he does a good job he gets to be the first to meet his new baby sister, so)

meanwhile arle is doting on you 24/7. anything you want, you get—as long as it’s overall healthy for you and the baby ofc. she’s so so tender with you, her nails always filed down for now so she doesn’t accidentally scratch you or the baby. she’s gentle as she helps you sit up, your pelvis still immensely sore from bringing your daughter into the world. she makes sure you eat well, having the best chefs the fatui can offer stationed within her manor to make you only the most nutritious but also good tasting food. she’ll also make sure you get enough rest—if the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, she’ll be the one to get up and soothe her back to sleep, assuming it’s not a hungry cry. arle gets so in tune with her daughter that within just a few days she can tell which cries indicate what. arle makes it impossible for you to doubt how grateful she is for the incredible gift you’ve given her in the form of her child.

speaking of, as soon as arle saw her baby she was a total goner. she was barely a few minutes old, still covered in blood and viscera but arle is already utterly wrapped around her tiny finger. yet despite her confidence in handling children, she hesitates for a moment when offered to hold her newborn. she’s not often insecure about her hands, but right now, there’s nothing she’s more afraid of than accidentally hurting her baby girl. it takes a lot of convincing from you before arle finally takes the little bundle into her arms, and once she does god does she not wanna let go. especially when she opens her little eyes and looks right into arle’s, and instinctually presses closer against her father’s chest, utterly unafraid of arle’s eyes, which have made grown men fall to their knees in fear.
