#and clothes are actually weirdly important to my fic if you've read it

[irregularbillcipher]

quick little thing of the main characters of my flatland/gravity falls fic in the style of my old flatland short film, since i was thinking about it

[ughgoaway]

About teacher!reader saying she's pregnant at Christmas giving Annie baby clothes.

WHAT IF she gave Annie an outfit that said "big sister/promoted to big sister", something that actually fits her but still gets the message across. And after the baby is born they can wear matching clothes big-little siblings

- 🎭

ooooh very very cute!!! i love it when people announce pregnancies like that, it's so nice to involve the siblings.

(just realised you said at Christmas but I had already written this... so just imagine there's Christmas decorations everywhere lol!! when I write the actual fic it will be at Xmas I swear)

I think maybe you sit Annie down and explain what's happening first. as much as you'd like to surprise her too, you just know she'd ask way too many questions lol

"So Annie, you know how you always wanted a sibling?" you ask tentatively, you know she's gonna be so excited but you're still nervous as fuck.

what if she freaks out? what if she suddenly decides she doesn't want a sibling?

Well, it's a little late for that now, considering you're 6 weeks pregnant...

Annie was playing with her teddy bears but put them down when she heard what you said. She's clearly confused why you're bringing it up again. But still very excitedly she says, "Yes!!! I want a baby brother or sister to play dress up with!! they'll be just like my dolly"

you almost tackle the whole "real baby vs. fake baby" topic but decide to discuss one important thing at a time.

"What if I told you that there's a baby in my belly right now?" You feel your chest tighten as you speak, and you feel like you could simultaneously vomit and die right now. the 5 seconds of silence felt like 5 hours.

"WHAT!!!!!" she shrieks out, bounding up to you and putting her ear to your stomach. you immediately laugh, and she pulls her head back to shush you, "I can't hear the baby if you're laughing y/n!!" she says exasperatedly. before she can rest her ear on your stomach again, you stroke her hair to get her attention.

"as nice as that would be sweet girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear them yet. they're only about the size of a pea right now!"

Annie's jaw drops, and she places her hand on your stomach, "wow. thats so small, " she whispers to herself.

your eyes well up almost instantly. weirdly enough Annie is the first person you've told (not a genius move on your part but it's your first time being pregnant, you're figuring it out) and feeling someone actually touch where your baby is makes you want to sob.

the pregnancy hormones are SWIMMING, so you start crying lightly, and annie gets a hurt look on her face and pulls her hand back like she's been burnt, worried shes hurt you.

"Oh no, no! It's okay Annie you can hold my tummy. I'm just so happy you know about your baby sibling!!" she immediately perks up and puts her hand back, and then rests her head against you - determined to hear something.

you let her sit for a few minutes before Annie pulls back with a quizzical look on her face, "Does my daddy know?"

as soon as you shake your head no, she somehow perks up even more. bouncing up and down on her spot asking "can I tell him? can I tell him?"

you laugh at her eagerness and bend down to pull her into a hug. you press a kiss to the crown of her head and squeeze her for a few seconds too long.

"That's why I told you, Annie! I want your help to tell your daddy. I got you a t-shirt that says "best big sister" and-"

Annie chimes in before you can finish, "I am gonna be the best big sister!! I promise!!!"

you smile softly at her enthusiasm before continuing, "I know, Annie! that's why I want you to wear it and show your daddy! he'll read it and then figure out I'm pregnant"

Annie nods as she processes your words before giving you an enthusiastic, "Yes!!!!" followed by a shriek and both hands against your stomach.

It's later that night, and you had originally planned to tell Matty tomorrow. Buf if Annie had to wait any longer, she might burst.

"Babe? Annie? I'm home, " matty shouts as he comes in the door, toeing off his shoes and looking around for you. he walks into the front room to see you sitting on the sofa with Annie, a small box in your hand, and her wrapped up in a blanket.

"Hi... what's happening? " matty asks, laughing, walking over to press a kiss to yours and annie head.

he sits down on the chair across from you, and you give Annie a nod, letting her know you're about to start talking. you'd already given her a queue for when to show her shirt.

"So... me and annie went shopping today. Do you want to see what we got?" you ask.

matty squints suspiciously before nodding slowly.

Annie looks at you one more time for reassurance, and as soon as you move your head slightly, she jumps up and proudly presents her shirt.

one second... two seconds... three seconds...

oh god, could it drag on any longer?? why isn't matty a quicker reader??

(you have the fleeting thought that you hope the baby is a quicker reader)

he looks up at you with wet eyes, "Really?" he whispers.

you know your voice will give out on you if you try to speak, so you sniffle and nod, rubbing at the tears already traling down your cheeks. a giggle subconsciously escapes you, you cant help but laugh at your own emotions.

you feel like you've had more emotions in the past 6 weeks than in your entire life. you had cried at every sad dog advert you'd seen, eventually you had to stop watching any TV to avoid losing all the water in your body.

before you can even think matty is jumping over to you and squeezing you tight.

burrowing his head in your shoulder and whispering, "Oh, thank you. thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you."

Annie comes and tries to pull her dad off you, "daddy!!! you're gonna squish the pea baby!!!"

both you and matty laugh wetly and separate, looking into eachothers eyes before matty turns to Annie.

he wipes at his face as he talks, "Sorry, munchkin. you're right, I need to be more careful around y/n and our pea baby"

matty stops and places his hand on your stomach again, staring at you with wide eyes, "ohmygod. our baby. like our. us. me and you. having a baby."

you nod and giggle as matty processes, and he pulls you in to kiss you deeply. it's slightly wet and salty from your tears, but to be honest- it's still fucking perfect.

Annie makes a "yuck" sound, which once again makes you and matty separate, laughing softly. he pulls her into his side and kisses all over her face. "Thank you for helping y/n tell me, pumpkin. it made it even more perfect."

"You're welcome, Daddy," Annie says shyly, buring her head into his chest. she pulls back and looks at him seriously before saying, "I kept it a secret for a whole 5 hours!!!" she nods as she speaks as if to highlight how serious the situation was.

matty bites his cheek to fight his laughter, nodding back at Annie. He finally gathers himself to say, "Wow. Good job, baby. "

he looks back to your lap and sees the box in your lap.

he gets a slightly grossed out look on his face, and he asks, "Is that the test?" You can see him trying to hide his disgust, and you can't help but laugh.

"Yes, it is, but don't worry, you don't have to hold my pee stick lol"

matty breathes out a sigh of relief, just as Annie says.

"PEE?? WHY DID YOU WEE ON A STICK Y/N??"
