Gender Reveal — A Lionsword LMK Fic

Tw Pregnancy and mentions of labor.

“Come oooon babe—“ Azure whined, putting his cheek against Jing’s belly,

“Just one peak?”

Jing tries his best not to laugh at Azures big kitty eyes. Swallowing down his chuckles, the dark haired man whacked the lion lightly with his magazine. “You’re the one who wanted to wait! :9 you can wait just a bit longer.”

Azure whined once again, and nuzzled further into Jing’s pregnant tummy. He was hunched over because of how low the couch sat, but he didn’t seem to mind it, only intent on hearing the babies once again.

“Four,” whispered Azure, gently rubbing soothing circles into Jing’s thigh. “Four boys, or girls, or boys and girls, or one boy and three girls, or-“

“Alright Azzy,” Jing giggled, patting the others hair, “come on, help me up. I gotta go check on the cakes.”

Azure whined for the millionth time that day, but gingerly helped Jing to stand up. Jing sent the other a nasty look when he snickered at Jing’s waddle walk, but azure merely avoided eye contact. Jing huffed, but smiled as they walked out to the backyard.

The decorations had been all set up. Fold up tables covered with grey cloth, and foldable plastic chairs of all colors lining the sides. Ballon’s with various dictions of babies were tied to the ends.

Jing didn’t care for the baby-print balloons, but as it fit the baby theme he had let it slide. Plus it made azure happy every time he saw it, so it wasn’t too bad.

Mocha waddled up to Jing in all her little glrory, and Jing had to hold back a squeal. She was absolutely adorable in her little Pinetta romper. Its shade of lilac matched her pretty magenta eyes and make her black fur stand out. “Baba look! Awen’t I pwetty?”

Jing’s smile softened, and he gently ran his fingered through the top of Mochas mane. “You sure are bǎobèi. The prettiest little girl in the world.” He attempted to lean over, but had to strained back up with a grunt. Seeing his struggle, azure lifted mocha enough for her to give Jing a little lion kiss. Jing chuckled at the feel of her rough tounge against his cheek, and guffawed outright when she spat dramatically at having tasted his beard.

Suddenly, a loud crash was heard by the side of the house, followed by the sounds of Nezha yelping and Wukong laughing. Azure sighed and set down Mocha, patting Jing’s shoulder. “I better go check on them.” Jing nodded, and watched him stalk away. Turning his attention back to the task at hand, Jing made his way to the pavilion.

Jing made his round around the table with Mocha by his side, glancing over the decorations and making adjustments to any plates or trays that looked lopsided. As he was doing this, mocha was running back and forth making “pfffftt” noises, arms outstretched like a mini plane. Jing was careful to walk around her, occasionally glancing up to check on her. While adjusting one of the chairs, he noted how quiet she was. When he looked up, he was startled to see her running full speed at the table, arms outstretched as she raced for one of the pastries.

Jing quickly snagged Mocha up by the back of her dress before she could run into said table. The little three year old squealed excitedly, waving her arms around.

“Cuppa Cake!” She crowed, saying it like a mantra. “Cuppa Cake! Cuppa Cake!”

“Yea Mocha-Mocha, cupcakes.” Jing smiled softly, settling the cub on his hip. Mocha rested her head on his round tummy, eyes still trained intently on the pastries. Cupcakes divided into four sections, each section of cake having a different flavor representing a quadruplet. Chocolate, vinilla, strawberry, and blueberry. All cupcakes with stark white frosting on top, a contrast to what was likely inside.

Jing walked around the table carefully, rubbing his swollen belly absentmindedly as he counted the plates. Mocha attempted to copy him, but ended up lightly smacking his stomach instead. Wincing, Jing instead guided her hand to rub. “Easy,” he stayed softly. He winced at the sharp set of kicks the quadruplets gave him in response, kicking up against mochas hand as well. Mocha startled, and moved her hand. Slowly, she felt his tummy again, before flailing again when she felt the kittens kick.

Jing heaved a sigh and went back to counting, doing his best to ignore it. Nezha trotted up next yo him, covered in glitter and grass stains, Wukong not far behind. Jing looked at them both with a single eyebrow raised, silently asking what on earth happened.

Nezha spoke first. “It was his fault-“ he said, jabbing his thumb in Wukongs direction, and the monkey gasped dramatically. “-he used too much glitter for one of the banners!”

“I did not!” Wukong declared, glitter shedding from him as he waved his arms around. Mocha took the opportunity to jump about trying to catch it, ending up covered in glitter herself. “The wind caught me off guard!”

Jing felt a headache coming on. “Please tell me azure isn’t a walking glitter stick.”

The two of them looked away, wistling innocently. The dark haired celestial shook his head, before tiredly sitting in one of the chairs with groan, placing Mocha on the ground. Nezha was by his side immediately, looking concerned.

“You ok?” He asked, and Jing breathed a small huff.

“Yes, I’m fine. They’re just rowdy.” He motioned to his belly, and Wukong snorted.

“Not even born yet and already they’re a handful.”

“Tell me about it.” Grumbled Jing, rubbing his tummy tiredly. Wukong and Nezha both sat down next to him, and a comfortable silence fell between them, just watching the other guests.

Jing winced when Jinzha’s partners- Jon and Yon? no, Jin and Yin - nervously tried to talk to Azure, but the orange maned lion just glowered at them. While Jing knew he wouldn’t be outright mean to them- Jinzha wouldn’t be very happy if he was - he knew his husband didn’t like them after the stunt they’d pulled when Jing was pregnant with Mocha. They’d apologized of course, but sadly azure tended to hold grudges.

Azure himself, as Jing feared, was a walking glitter stick. But, Jing blinked when he saw the lions expression changed, and again when he saw mocha being hefted into his arms. When had- Jing glanced to the side, and realized that Mocha must have wandered off when they weren’t paying attention.

A crash was heard, and it turned out to be Macaque and Suntax. The poor spider was desperately trying to get his robotic legs under control, while macaque was pushing some of the buttons on the back. Jing shook his head while Wukong just laughed at his partners antics.

After a while Jing glanced at the sky, gauging the suns position. The sun was lowering slightly, so about 5-6. Good, that meant it would be cool while everyone ate. Jing sucked in a breath, and stood up.

Nezha helped Jing stand, handing the other his water. “Is it time?”

Jing hummed, nodding, before looking at Wukong. “Can you call the others?”

Wukong nodded and stood up as well, calling out to the others. “All right! Time for the grand reveal!” Cheers were followed by running footsteps, as everyone crowded slowly around the tables, hungry eyes sizing up the delectable pastries.

Nezha leaned over, mock whispering to Jing. “You didn’t bake these right?” Jing gave his son a flat expression, and tried to whacked him on the back of the bed. The prince just ducked outta reach, giggling maniacally.

Jing rolled his eyes, and turned back to watch the commotion. First up was the chocolet cupcakes. Thankfully the bakery was able to make so many in such a short amount of time (Jing having ordered them two days beforehand) as well as get them there so quick.

Jing picked up a cupcake, everyone else doing the same. Instead of eating it right away though, Jing played with the wrapper, teasingly putting some frosting onto Mocha’s nose. The toddler went cross eyed trying to see it, and her cute little tongue went wild trying to lick it off. Satisfied she was distracted, Jing turned to watch azures reaction.

Jing waited with bated breath, watching as azure bit into his Chocolet cupcake, as did everyone else. Then, lion glanced into the filling. Azures pupils dilated to 100 immediately, and when he looked at Jing in all his cupcake face stuffed glory, the pregnant man couldn’t help but to laugh.

Azure quickly swallowed the bite, and his voice rang across the field. “The first is a girl!” He cheered, before stuffing the rest in his mouth. The others similarly cheered, though it was vaious degrees of muffled because of the cupcake in their mouths. Soon, they moved on to the vanilla, where-

“It’s an another girl!!”

Then strawberry-

“Three girls!?”

And finally, the blueberry.

Azure, looked at Jing through suspicious eyes, and Jing just motioned for him to bite it. The shorter man had to restrain himself from laughing when he caught the look in the others face as, yet again-

“ALL GIRLS?!”

Silence. Then, as if on que, laughter burst through the aie. Jing among them, though his was more directed at the bewildered (though still happy) expression on Azures face. Jing sucked in a breath, attempting to collect himself. However, the moment he turned to Nezha, he was met with the best deadpan expression he’d ever seen. But the best part was his little quip.

“Out of all the swimmers, only the girls made it?”

That was enough to send Jing into another fit of hysteria. He actually had to sit down in one of the chairs from how hard he was laughing. He heard chronicling foot steps, and Jing turned to see an amused azure lion, face covered in crumbs and grey frosting, approaching with half a cupcake.

It took only a split second for Jing to realize what the other intended to do. The king tried to get up, but cursed as his belly made it impossible. He reared back, doing his best to glare at the blue furred lion. “You better not!”

Azure lauded, then calmly handed the cupcake to Mocha. Mocha looked at it… before turning and squishing it in Jing’s face. At least, she tried to. But poor Mocha, being a toddler, was only able to reach Jing’s chest. Jing looked down impassively, before calmly looking back at the smug lion.

“You’re cleaning this up later.”

Azure didn’t seem to care, only grinning wider at his pregnant mate. Jing huffed, and grabbed some nearby napkins to clean off the frosting. As he did so, he watched as Azure picked up mocha and tossed her in the air, both of them laughing in excitement. It made Jing’s heart warm, and he could feel his eye growing just as warm.

Azure looked over to Jing with a big smile, but it immediately turned to an expression of concern. He put down mocha (who whined very loudly) and belt next to the chair.

“What?” Asked Jing. Atleast, he tried to, but all that came out was a choked, garbled mess of words. A few tears trickled down Jing’s face, and azure quickly wiped them away, looking even more concerned.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Is it the babies?” Azure asked, cupping Jing’s face gently. The celestial sniffled and shook his head, giving azure a wobbly smile.

“I’m-“ jing cleared his throat, and tried again. “I’m just happy.”

Azures expression softened. “Oh Kitten.” He whispered, and gently kissed Jing’s tears away. Jing sniffled, and chuckled wetly, the others beard tickling his face. Both blinked when a sudden weight pushed them apart. Glancing down, Jing had to hold back laughter at the sight of a pouty Mocha.

“My baba!” She huffed, and attempted to kiss Jing’s face the way Azure had, to which Jing amused obliged by lowering his fa to give her better access. The lion only gaped at his daughter, clearly affronted her audacity to steal his kisses.

After a meoment Jing placed Mocha sitting in his lap, azure sitting fully down beside him. His highth made it where he was just above eye level with Jing despite Jing being elevated. Mocha placed her head on Jing’s tummy, intently listening to the babies.

They silently watched the celebrations, a comfortable silence settling between them. They watched as Wukong took out some water balloons from seemingly nowhere, and started to aim it at macaque and Erlang. Only to be ambushed by Mk with a water gun. Wukong swiftly tried to get his revenge, only for the balloon to hit Nezha. Who in turn tried to launch one as well… only to hit Ironfan. It quickly devolved into a water fight, and Jing’s as grateful he and azure were out of the way with mocha.

“Quadruple girls.” Azure purred quietly, startling jing out of his observations as Mocha slid out of his arms. “My girls. Our lovely little ladies.”

“Lovely,” Jing said, watching mocha dig in the dirt for worms. Azure quickly interfered before she could eat them, laughing nervously as Jing leveled him with a flat stare. “You know we’re never gonna sleep again, right?”

Azure chuckled, petting Jing’s swollen belly softly. “Yeah,” he murmured softly, “I can’t wait.” Jing suddenly felt his airways get tight again, and he put a hand over azures. The lion gently leaned in to kiss the lips of his mate, and Jing returned it in full.

Jing would’ve never thought he’d be in this moment. Never thought he’d be free like this. Yet here he was, love and children and laughter filling the void he’d felt since Yin died all those years ago. Yes, this was a good life.

The labor was gonna suck though.

(bǎobèi means baby/treasure)
