The Hobbit Characters + Pregnant Reader (Wife!Reader)

I just love fluff ok and, say it with me, I did this for LoTR 😁 (you can think of the older characters’ as being set when you guys are younger, not during book/film events 😊)

Warnings: conception mentions, some implications of infertility, pregnancy-related illness and symptoms, very long post 😂

Balin

✧ Five years. For five years you had tried. Six you and Balin had been married, happily as anything, but children never came. Your struggles had broken you down, leading you to try all the remedies well-meaning elders and healers alike recommended. Eat more good, strong foods, less of that greasy stuff. Drink this tea, it’s great for women! It’s only a bunch of tiny needles- the pain of birth will be worse anyway. Don’t be so active, let yourself relax for Mahal’s sake, girl! Remedy after remedy, you put your body through it all and put your hands up and prayed. Weeks passed and you had taken ill, attending the healers’ just to get something to ease your nausea, and that was when the questions began. Illness forgotten, you wandered in a grinning daze out of that hall and straight into your husband’s arms. When he chuckled and asked what this was all about, all you could do was snuggle into his chest deeper and whisper “It’s finally happened.”

✧ Such years leant of course to Balin being a bit extra protective of you. You often chastised him, good-naturedly of course, that he hovered so over you, and every time he would simply kiss you and say "That's right".

✧ It brought you both to tears when you began showing, when your condition had persisted long enough to be real, to last beyond the known months of danger. Forehead pressed against yours, your husband held you tightly and warmly for some amount of minutes you did not know, but minded not at all. Balin's words of love and reassurance were as music to your ears.

✧ Hormones confound you some days, pulling you from peace to ruin in mere moments, but Balin is always there with warm arms and wise words, reminding you that whatever you may think, you will never be alone.

✧ The one time during your entire pregnancy that you saw Balin cry was the day you brought home a tiny red coat that looked just like his and showed it to him with pride glowing in your eyes.

✧ He is so calm during all the worst sides of your condition, standing right by you through the good, the bad, and the ugly and dusting and cleaning you off each and every time. "We fought hard for this," he reminds you, "And I'll keep fighting with you every step of the way."

Dwalin

✧ You had wanted children all your life, certainly, and you'd seen Dwalin around them a few times, but what would he say? Your husband was a renowned warrior, hardened in the face of blood and steel and tolerant of no foolishness. But still he went soft as clay when his beloved wife fell into his arms. Thus that night you softened him up but good with all the great food and affection you could muster, so much that you had him remarking what a wonderful home he'd been blessed with. "And would you be willing to share it?" At that, your husband rose from his chair, hands tensing at his sides. "You don't mean-" "I do," you nodded. Without warning, you were swept up into Dwalin's arms, hoisted gently into the air with a giggle. "Just when I thought Mahal couldn't bless me any more! My beautiful wife, with child."

✧ Cue the two of you bickering back and forth like, well, a married couple, about who the child is going to look like. "I'll have 'em look just like you, thanks." "I for one relish in the thought of toting around a miniature Dwalin." "Come now," your husband teases back, running a hand over his shaven, tattooed head, "If they look like you they'll have better hair!"

✧ Dwalin has tiny wooden swords and axes made in time for your little arrivals, ensuring the axes match his to a tee.

✧ He sleeps flush against you now, head leaned against your growing belly and one hand firmly atop it like a lovely little line of defense.

✧ You have him absolutely wrapped around your finger, even more so now. Bat your eyelashes at him and make any request and he melts like butter. You’ll never want long for anything you crave!

✧ Admittedly he knows very little of a woman’s workings, but the moment he hears all your explanations he dubs you as great a warrior as he! “Beautiful as the stars and strong as the mountains to boot! That’s my girl.”

Thorin

✧ He has waited so long for this. So many years of this hanging pressure and yet when he has you by his side, all the feeling of necessity behind trying fades away. You two can simply enjoy life. So when you return to Thorin's side one day, eyes brimming with tears, all you say to him is "It's happened". And with that you see your king, your husband, collapse as if his whole body is sighing, pulling you into him like he needs you to breathe. One hand reaches up to hold the back of your head, gently caressing your hair.

✧ Vows every day that he will protect you both, be the father and husband you deserve, taking your hands in his and then leaning down to address both his queen and your child.

✧ Thorin also assures you that despite what any members of the court say, your new addition will be equally loved and equally worthy of the throne whether you welcome a son or a daughter. "All I wish is a healthy child with their mother's heart." "And their father's good looks," you tease in response, pulling your husband in for a kiss.

✧ You begin stealing his clothes, stating that his tunics are so much more comfortable than your dresses with an innocent bat of your eyelashes that has Thorin relenting every single time, heart rent at the way they begin fitting you tighter.

✧ You see a different side of Thorin in this stage of your marriage, one you’ll never complain about, not when he softens so, gazes down upon you with such love as he hovers over you, kissing your lips, your neck, your belly.

✧ There is no denying that you both glow during this time, pride and joy illuminating Thorin’s features right alongside the radiance of your childbearing state. Everyone stops you to say what a beautiful couple you are and you cannot help the flush of heat that rises to your face as Thorin thanks them and guides you away from the crowd, a protective hand on the small of your back

Oin

✧ Predicts it before you even realize because you’re exhibiting all the telltale symptoms; annoyed as you may be by his insistence that you are with child, what do you know? Oin is right. Oin is, unfortunately, also quite smug about this. Once the initial triumph wears off, though, he’s shouting for joy and crushing you with a hug!

✧ The absolute dream husband to have when you're with child, for he has worked taking care of countless dwarrowdams in your condition. He knows what you need. He understands. And most importantly, he does not judge.

✧ In fact, you two get a kick out of poking fun at the other husbands who roll their eyes at their wives' demands or take shots at their cravings because, frankly, that could never be you. "He doesn't know her body needs more iron!" "I bet he moans and groans about grabbing her a pillow, too."

✧ Having married such a well-known dwarrow, you’ll have all manner of strangers approaching you with congratulations that you reluctantly just accept, correctly assuming they’re patients of Oin’s that he’s proudly blabbed to.

✧ He’s always asking you to guess if you’re having a boy or a girl, insisting that “‘tis the mother’s intuition, after all.”

✧ You insist on remaining on your feet as long as possible, and your husband does not protest, knowing that exercise is good for the baby. That doesn’t mean he won’t be right behind you to catch you if you fall or check on your precious little bump, though, of course.

Gloin

✧ Not so subtle in his so-called 'baby fever', your husband has been going on and on about how his child will be his little flame, the apple of his eye, his world. You have no fear, then, sharing the news, in fact you amuse yourself by dropping your state in conversation like the plainest fact. "I'm glad you've got those new blankets, dear, what with the baby coming in winter and all," you told Gloin, taking a sip of your tea. Deafening is the only word you can use to describe the roar of celebration he gives, wonderfully bone-crushing and teeth-rattling your embrace and kiss.

✧ Tackles you to bed almost every night the first week, covering your cheeks and belly alike with kisses.

✧ Spends that very same time period sharing with absolutely any soul who even remotely listens that he’s going to be a father!

✧ Gloin is very insistent upon your care, even taking it upon himself to make your meals by hand. Which, suffice it to say, is a bit disastrous the first few times but he emerges triumphant in the end and succeeds in filling you with all the hearty things your budding dwarrowling needs!

✧ Being married to a dwarf means you have a husband who absolutely adores the extra pounds you put on and has no qualms about showing you in and out of the bedroom! Even just stopping by the market he’ll be wrapped around you.

✧ Encourages the baby every time they kick, shouting out praise of their strength while you tell him to cool it, all those kicks are going to you!

Bifur

✧ A large part of him thought that he would never be able to experience fatherhood. Not since the injury, and that had happened at such a young age. You cut right through that fear, assured Bifur that he would be an amazing father regardless of if he did some things differently. And that he would soon see, for your family would be growing early the next year.

✧ In all honesty, you feel blessed to have a husband who signs, for your baby will likely be able to communicate early! When you tell Bifur this he breaks out into tears, for what an angel you are to see the beauty in him. Every side of him. He promises to do the same.

✧ And make good on that does he! You will never want for love for even on your illest days Bifur is right by your side, his caresses gentle and speaking volumes of adoration.

✧ Absolutely adores jumping into the bath with you! His excuse being he has to help you and may as well rinse his beard off, but you can see how eager he is to run his hands over your hair and see the way your body relaxes at his cleansing touch. He wants nothing more than to feel useful, needed, and you assure him you cannot do this without him.

✧ Again and again, in fact, on the days when he stands behind you, holding up your burden and cheering you with little jokes and flirtation in Khuzdul even as you are overcome with exhaustion.

✧ Proudly tells everyone who will listen that he’s got a little warrior in there whenever the baby kicks!

Bofur

✧ You hadn’t exactly been trying. You hadn’t exactly been not trying, either. The news comes to you through a haze, muffled by the great rush of other thoughts bombarding your mind and sending your heart beating, but at their heart comes the image of Bofur holding a little one and bouncing them upon his knee and your chest flutters and soars. Your visit is completed all in smiles, and upon returning him to your husband’s questioning about the flu you’ve gone in for, you tell him it likely will not go away until the end of the year. “The end of the year? Why ever that long? I’ve never heard of a flu like that, not even-” “‘tisn’t a flu, my darling,” you smirk at him, “it’s a baby.” “A- you’re- we’re gonna have a-” Bofur is all agape, stepping closer and hovering his hands over your middle like he doesn’t want to grip you in a way that breaks you. “That all right?” You ask, half-teasing, for he has recently confided in you his envy of Bombur’s family. “All right? Song of my heart, I could kiss you!” “Well, what’s stopping you?”

✧ If you thought Bofur was affectionate before, well Mahal be with you, for you haven't seen anything yet! He falls even more in love with your body knowing it's carrying his and your child, hands nearly always holding or roaming you. When you're out and about, your husband usually has a hand at the small of your back, supporting the weight you carry as you walk and running soothingly up and down. Kisses all over your belly in private.

✧ This lends to how quick your husband is to reassure you on days you don't feel so friendly with your body, those times when you'd like nothing more than to shatter the looking-glass. "All I see," Bofur tells you one day, a hand on each of your shoulders as you peer together, "Is the most beautiful thing I've ever laid my lucky eyes upon, and she's not got an easy job. If I were her, I'd be proud of myself. Proud of making a comfortable home for our little one. And if I was her husband, why, I'd take her as she is right here and now! Right nice for me I am her husband, eh?"

✧ “Imagine havin’ a little girl.” Lying side by side, you heard Bofur’s wistful tone and felt a small smile creep onto your lips. “I’ll do her hair up in braids and tie them with ribbons. She’ll have all the pretty things she wants, because I have mine right here,” he adds, turning over to caress your belly and pull your lips into his.

✧ Marrying a toymaker comes with distinct perks: your husband crafts the most magnificent little wheeled contraptions and carven animals for your new addition! He spends hours carving and glazing them, and sometimes you catch him having fallen asleep at his workbench when you struggle to stay in dreamland, covering him up with a spare blanket.

✧ You worry because the baby doesn’t seem to move much, but Oin confirms everything seems to be going fine. “Your wee bairn just got this one’s personality, it seems!” He jokes, stabbing a mock-accusatory finger Bofur’s way.

Bombur

✧ A baker's dozen. For as long as you've known him, that's how many wee ones Bombur purported wanting. Thirteen more than most dwarves have, you always tease him, but in reality every time you see your sweet husband with children and hear him dream of a family your heart leaps. That is why the moment you take his hands and tell him it's come true is special, intimate, a quiet draw in and out of breath that has him sobbing joyously and nuzzling into your embrace with so much love your chest bursts from the flight of it.

✧ Sixth senses never seemed real to you until you became pregnant and it was like Bombur knew what you were craving and was making it before you could even say anything!

✧ Cannot keep away from you. Always wants to be kissing you and cupping your cheeks and holding your hands, just so so sweet!

✧ Bombur is so much more good-natured than you, for all the jokes about how you'll be as big as him soon have you swinging, but he just holds you back and laughs alongside them, saying he's looking forward to it with a twinkle in his eye.

✧ Literally baffled if you ever feel bad about your body; his legitimate confusion alone halfway snaps you out of the sad reverie, and all the following words about your beauty and your husband's appreciation of every inch does the rest.

✧ "You know I'll keep you safe, right? Both of you," he tells you one day, a hand resting upon your bump, "I may not be some great warrior, but Mahal help anyone who comes between us."

Dori

✧ From even before you were actually wed you knew that Dori would be an excellent father. Having taken care of his younger brothers from quite an early age, he had knowledge atop a naturally caring personality you fell for. Gentlemanly Dori waited with you, keeping chaste until after your wedding, but once it is official you know your news could come at any time and you accept that. On your one-year anniversary, in fact, your first gift to Dori is the tiniest bracelet of fine amber beads. “Does this mean…?” As soon as he sees you nod, Dori is taking you in his arms, cradling you gently as if you were made of fine porcelain and thrice as precious.

✧ Caring father-to-be. A little too caring. "If those are too heavy for you, I can carry them!" "They're just books, I'll be alright, Dori." "Oh, don't eat that, you got sick last time." "I haven't been sick in a month!" "That's a lot of steps, should I carry you?" "...Actually, sure."

✧ Always sleeps with his arm wrapped around your middle. No exceptions.

✧ Has every manner of tea and remedy you could desire on hand or otherwise purchases it. Same goes for supplies- Dori even found a ring-shaped cushion for you to lay on! He has your back for any ailment and is often there to make or apply your cure himself. After all, he wouldn't trust anyone else to do it!

✧ You love this dwarf with all your heart. He takes it upon himself to find dwarrowdams willing to let him practice changing diapers on their wee bairns and surprises you with this newfound skill when you return home one day!

✧ Dori’s love of the finer things absolutely carries over into his future fatherhood, as he has the loveliest little velvet clothes made and procures the dearest little bejeweled hairbrush. All in all, both of you amass far more than you need because any time you go out it inevitably devolves into you two clasping your joined hands between each other, gushing over all the wee things, and taking them home!

Nori

✧ He never thought he would get married at all, let alone have a family, but as time goes on the desire to continue his lineage and finally settle down takes hold. Then suddenly there he is desperately trying to seduce you into trying for a little one! It doesn't take long, not with his charm, until the day comes when you teasingly tell him that he got his way. Smirking until the realization takes hold of him, his arms are then snaking around your waist to pull you close.

✧ Always talking about how he's going to teach his little one everything he knows. When pressed about it, responds with such things as fighting and picking locks. His defense? "What if 'e gets stuck somewhere, or-"

✧ Impatient! "When am I gonna be able to feel 'em?" He asks, a hand upon your belly, which has yet to display any changes. "Not for another few months, Nori! I haven't even begun to show!"

✧ Hides things sometimes or puts them up places you can't go just so he can swoop in and help you, saving your day and pressing a kiss to your cheek as he tells you he can handle it, don't you worry your pretty little head.

✧ Nori always teases you when he pours himself a drink. "Bet you'd like some of this, huh? Not for three more months!" He chuckles. Your brows furrow. "Three months? What about when I'm feeding?" "What does tha- oh. Does that really-" "Yes, yes it does." "By the stars, I could have got my baby drunk!"

✧ Talks to the baby quite a bit, especially when he finally can feel the kicks. "Where you running off to, huh?" He chuckles, feeling the flutters against his hand pick up. "That's 'cause of me, isn't it? You hear me? That's right, it's your da. Can you believe it? Me, your da! I'll take good care of you, you hear?"

Ori

✧ "Ori, dear," you implored your husband, "Might you knit something for me?" Looking up from the scarf he'd just finished, Ori's eyes fell upon you and he gave that smile, the special one reserved just for you. "Of course. What would you like?" "A wee pair of booties," you replied, hands clasped and expression dreamy. "Who needs booties?" He asked, head cocked. "We will in the fall," you answered, stepping closer and resting a hand upon his. Ori's jaw dropped. "You... I... We-" Smile widening, you nodded. "I. You. We," you agreed.

✧ Nearly from the first day you know you are with child, Ori is rattling off names. After tossing out a great deal, he finally pauses and gives a sheepish apology. "I'm sorry, I suppose I've thought about this a lot," he confesses with a grin, "I just can't believe it's happening." Your hand joins with his, resting over your little bump. "Neither can I. It's like a dream."

✧ "So," you ask Ori one day, leaning your chin upon the couch where you'd lain, "What should our plan be for when my water breaks?" Your husband's brows furrow. "When your what?" "Oh, no," you mutter. Cue Ori spending his afternoon receiving a great multitude of lessons. What he got for being raised by other dwarf men, you suppose. "That really all happens to you?" He asks, gaping at you as though you came of the Valar themselves. "Yes, it does. Birth is a great deal of work. They don't just run on out, you know!" "Yes, I know. Of course I know." Ori's voice is faint; he excuses himself and you assume it's to faint or be sick, but about an hour later he returns bearing gifts. "I'm sorry I'm putting you through all that." "Sweetheart," you chuckle, cupping his cheek, "You know it takes two, right?" Your sweet husband reddened, but he nodded.

✧ Ori takes on almost all the cleaning himself- you haven't even asked! Finally curiosity gets the better of you and you inquire as to why he's gotten so into housekeeping. "Well, aren't you tired?" He asks simply, innocently, and you wonder how you got so lucky.

✧ He also knits far more than that pair of booties you requested- all three of you will have matching sweaters before your little one has arrived!

✧ Ori's favorite thing in the world is sitting with you in his lap, one hand cradling your growing bump and the other holding a book as you two take turns reading aloud, filling your cozy hollow with the sounds of voices your little one will come to love. The books are hand-drawn, written, and bound by him, of course!

Fili

✧ You two speak of little ones so much it borderline infuriates the others, Kili himself even bursting out in frustration one day at yet another interruption about tiny clothes, "Just get her pregnant already!" "Good idea. See you later," Fili replies, scooping you up and carrying you off bridal-style. "Wait, I- Damn, brother..." In reality, Fili just carried you around the corner and set you down while you two burst out laughing, but about a month later your tries were in fact successful!

✧ Honeyed words were no trouble for your husband before, but now? Praise falls endlessly from his lips. "Never did I think you could get more beautiful, and yet each day you succeed beyond my wildest dreams."

✧ Fili has a near-magical sense for your new struggles of coordination, all but flying to your side to catch your hand or waist whenever you trip or even whenever you must rise up again from your seat!

✧ He loves to tease you, asking what disgusting thing you'll think of him to fix next or joke that he can finally beat you in a fight in this state, but every joke is punctuated by the most loving eyes and gestures that they cannot do a thing but warm your heart and make you chuckle.

✧ Your baby is very active, kicking all the time! "We've definitely got a little Fili in here!" Your husband exclaims with a grin, hand resting atop your belly to feel your little one's exuberant motions. "A strong babe for sure," you sigh, "Much to the pity of my ribs!" "Too bad we aren't having a Kili. Nice and lazy for you." "Hey, I heard that!"

✧ He turns his head, peering over his shoulder at you as you waddle after him, golden hair cascading down. "Care for me to slow down a little?" "I care for you to shut up," you shoot back, crossing your arms and fighting your smile.

Kili

✧ The thought crossed your mind far before it did your husband's. Not that Kili had no desire for children, it was simply that the possibility was all the more yours to consider. It took a visit from your young cousin, who had Kili wrapped around your finger, for the fire to light in your husband's head as well, a smile lighting up his face. "We- we could..." "I know, Kili." You could and you certainly did but a few months later.

✧ "I hope they look just like you." "Me too." Kili pulls his head out of the crook of your neck. "Hey, that is the part where you say 'no, I hope they look like you'!" "I'm doing the work of carrying for how long again? Nine, ten months? Least they can do is resemble me a little," you shoot back with a smirk.

✧ It was Oin who brought the news: "Both babies seem healthy as far as I can tell!" "Both?" You gape. "Both babies?" "'s right," Oin replies, "I know I can't always hear the best, but I haven't been wrong on a heartbeat yet. You can feel 'em." "Guess we did pretty good, eh love?" Kili teases, earning him an elbow to the ribs, but he just shakes his head and tugs you closer against his chest. "Should we make their names confusing as well?" "Don't you think it might get old for them?" "Fili and I switched names plenty of times and we aren't even identical!" You should have known.

✧ Kili takes to sleeping facing you, close enough that sometimes your cheeks brush. Others he slips down lower and you awake with your husband cuddled up to the bump of your belly.

✧ Will come running from any room, anywhere, to feel the babies kick, and also loves tugging along any of his family he can take, too. Childlike wonder fills your husband's eyes every time and pride glistens in his dark eyes when he's brought along his mother, his brother, even his uncle the king!

✧ Never once do you doubt yourself or have one moment of room for insecurity, for Kili still flirts with you as if you were tweens and sneaks all sorts of touches, pecks, and affectionate hands in your hair wherever he can find it! The notion of a baby destroying the romance of your relationship is laughable to you, who married a dwarf that has no shame telling you you're the most gorgeous creature to walk the earth and warm his-and the baby's in a different way-body.

Bilbo

✧ Bilbo's a perceptive hobbit. He knows something's off with you. You don't usually scurry around the way you are like everything has to be perfect. That's his job. "Something the matter? Are you... expecting someone?" Your husband follows you down Bag End's hall as he gives his inquiry, eyebrows shooting up at the look on your face when you turn around. Consternation, resignation, finally a smile. "I was going to tell you after dinner," you answered, "But since you asked it like that, yes I am expecting someone. Our child this spring." At that, it was Bilbo's turn to shift through expressions. Shock, realization, finally a smile.

✧ Nursery shopping has become Bilbo's favorite pastime. Baby Baggins isn't arriving for months and yet your husband is returning from market with all manner of trinkets for the shelves and paper for the walls. You cannot help giggling at his armfuls of supplies and kissing his cheek as you relieve as much of his burden as he allows you to.

✧ So sweet, always helping you dress, pulling on every garment with the utmost of care and even avoiding your reflection on days you feel bad. Quickly kissing each part of your body before he covers it with something he knows will be comfortable.

✧ You'll be eating well whether you like it or not! Bilbo will make you anything under the sun if it means you and Baby Baggins are getting nourishment and he certainly will not have you skimping! Anything that makes you sick simply is not allowed in Bag End at all, end of discussion.

✧ One night, you awake to soft whispers and your heart melts at the sight of Bilbo resting his chin on your growing bump talking to the baby. Not uttering a word, you simply watch, taking in the moment beneath the sheen of tears in your eyes.

✧ "Careful, careful," Bilbo is always telling you, holding your hand and guiding you over the smallest of obstacles, even little puddles and rocks.

Thranduil

✧ He has talked about getting you pregnant before, but speaking of it and doing it are two entirely different things, especially with...well, words of such nature. Thus, you find yourself nervously wringing your hands before your husband as he strokes your face, asking whatever is the matter. At Thranduil's touch, his intense gaze, you fin yourself melting and admitting all, confessing that you are expecting his child. You are certainly not expecting the way his confident smile utterly falters, dissipating in favor of the look of a man near tears. "Truly? A little one of our own?" "Yes," you whisper, finally able to smile as the tension melts from your body, which is soon pulled against the Woodland King's. "Long have I dreamed of this day, my love."

✧ One of his favorite new activities is commissioning you new maternity dresses; you will certainly have plenty to wear if Thranduil has any say about it! In addition, when the time comes of course he requests that you model them for him.

✧ Thranduil loves to sneak up behind you, lightly wrapping his hands about your waist and laying them atop yours, his head resting in the crook of your neck and breathy, pleased laughter warming the skin there.

✧ When you start showing, oh, he loves it. One more sign that you are his, utterly and truly his queen, his beloved, claimed by Thranduil in every sense. He follows your lead, a hand around your waist, letting you shine like the gem he knows you to be. Rarely will you two be seen apart, not when the king can bask in your glow, relish the eyes upon your beautiful form, heavy with his child.

✧ There is one day he catches you in tears and heart tearing he steps to scoop you up against him, cheeks held gently in his elegant hands, which begin to glitter with your tears. "My rings no longer fit," you sob, head falling to his chest. Thranduil holds you close, grip loose as though you might break. "That is not your fault, meleth nîn." "I feel so... so massive." "Who wishes a small dwelling, hm? Piteous thing not to have any comforts. Your body is a host of life, the vessel of a bloodline. Beautiful in all its forms. Never forget that, oh dearest one."

✧ Thranduil is experienced; he knows many little tricks to help you feel better, be they massages or ways to bear your weight. He impresses you with the knowledge he has of the ways of women, understanding your water breaking, dilation, and every complication the healers warn you about and telling you before they even do!

Feren

✧ First to know was neither you nor your husband, but rather your cat, for she had suddenly become your little shadow, following you about your home and taking rest upon your lap as often as she could. "I wonder what it is that got into her," you commented one afternoon, smiling and stroking her back. "Growing up, ours got like this when my mother was carrying my younger sisters. Both times. It was like he could sense it," Feren replied. You both sat in smiling silence for a moment longer before simultaneously straightening, looking each other right in the widening eyes.

✧ Gets a little flustered, frankly. Not so much at your news itself, simply the realization sinking in that he is to be a father. He, Feren, will have a child. He says this out loud several times before suddenly breaking out into a smile. You tease him for going through half his emotions at once, but now the wave of joy has swept him up!

✧ Playfully rolls his eyes and mock-complains every time you remind him that he has to clean up after the cat now! Subsequently adds that he would fetch you the moon if you asked it.

✧ Loves helping you bathe the more difficult your condition makes it, scrubbing your hair with such care and gently massaging your sore feet and ankles as you wash up. Despite your husband's skill in battle, Feren's hands are the most loving and delicate you could ask for.

✧ Your husband has a natural tendency to rise early, so now that your sleep has become more fitful you do find that you have more time to spend together. Your head falling to his shoulder as you whisper to each other, seated as you are upon your bed with blankets draped over your shoulders.

✧ Feren wins your heart time and time again, like the day he lowered you down gently onto the grass of a sunny meadow, basking with you and weaving flowers. He made you a ring, crowned you with a wreath of flowers atop your head, and made another little one to place gently on the curve of your belly, bringing your heart to soar.

Bard

✧ Uncertainty wracks your heart and wrings your hands at the would-be-cheerful news. In fact, you yourself do feel joy, have since your suspicions were confirmed, but would Bard see it the same way? He already has three mouths to feed, three children all old enough to take care of themselves. Will he wish to start it all over so? "What's wrong, love? Your lip is bleeding." So it is. You've practically gnawed the poor thing off in all your stewing. A sigh escapes you. Bard is your husband. No sense in delaying a very necessary conversation. "I know we should have spoken more about it..." You begin, trailing off. At once, Bard senses your reservation and rises to your side, taking hold of your arms; the love in his dark eyes brings a small smile to your lips and relaxes you slightly. "I'm with child, Bard." Almost childlike is the wonder and joy spreading across your face, and before you can say another word you are being pulled into Bard's chest, face snuggling into the fur of his coat.

✧ He knows what to expect, naturally, so Bard is definitely not the type of husband to gripe about your requests, though he does smirk and poke fun if you’re especially outrageous with it or have a funny enough delivery. Then kisses you if you pout about it before fetching what you seek.

✧ Caution overtakes you and your husband as you make to tell his older children the news, particularly you, but your wringing hands relax when you can see the joy in their eyes, particularly the girls! They hope the baby is another girl, hugging you so tight you almost cannot breathe, but you complain not.

✧ Happy is Bard to take on assistance cooking; he knows it can make you sick sometimes and besides, it's a nice excuse to make sure you get all the nutrients you need! You are certainly very lucky in the skill and domesticity of your spouse.

✧ Stands behind you and reaches his arms around you, lifting up the weight you carry and smiling, kissing your neck and cheeks as you relax from your burden.

✧ He also has no qualms about making you rest, down even to physically lifting you up and carrying you to bed if he must!

Beorn

✧ Hesitant as he always would have claimed to be about bringing more Skin-Changers into a world so cruel to them, Beorn feels his nesting instincts kick in very quickly after you become his wife. You see it in the things he gathers, the way your husband moves things such as your blades to higher, safer locations. He is anticipating something. Something you cannot help pulling him aside and asking about, and when your feelings on the subject are made known, well, it is entirely possible you conceived that very night.

✧ Beorn has an almost eerie sense for all the changes taking place in your body. You feel a sharp pain in your back, and without a word your husband is behind you, ushering you down for a massage with some of the oils he's pressed.

✧ The aforementioned nesting instincts manifest early on, your husband carefully blunting corners and tucking away the best blankets so the little one-or ones!- will be nothing but safe and comfortable.

✧ Withdrawn as he could be, Beorn's affection is drawn out by your condition, his big brown eyes soft upon you as he pulls you into his lap, large hands secure about your waist and sliding gently up and down your growing belly.

✧ And grow it does! It seems to get heavier by the day, but that is explained thanks to your husband's exceptional hearing. "Four heartbeats. One is yours. A litter- three are coming!" Spots dance in your vision at that news, but Beorn's smile as he grips your hand brings you back to the light. You could do it with him by your side. "Our little litter."

✧ He attempts to reassure you anytime your anxiety grows. "My dearest flower, I have delivered hundreds of calves and piglets in my day! You will see this through." Reassuring? Perhaps not so much. But in your heightened emotion, that does break you into a wild laughter that does indeed relax you nonetheless.

Want to meet the little ones? Perhaps there will be a Part 2 😉

Hiya Katie! How about domestic Aaron pampering her when he find out she's pregnant and jack makes her a get well soon card because he thinks she's sick but she tells him he's going to be a big brother and jacks ecstatic and Aaron is just like all smiley and happy about being a father again and maybe hoping for a girl because hotch is such a girl dad like 🤭🤭 also I love your work so much! It makes my day! Your an amazing writer ❤

newest addition

thank you so much & ughh that's the sweetest <3333 cw; fem!reader, jack calls reader mom, pregnancy, reference to vomiting wc; 1.1k

"buddy, what are you doing?"

you've been awake for awhile now, unwilling to part from the comfort of bed. your eyes are still closed, and in curiosity, you keep them that way.

"i made mom a get-well card." jack's voice is closer than aaron's, and you can hear him shuffling at your bedside. you hear a soft crinkle of a paper, a quick stagger of your water glass, as he sets the paper against it. "i heard her throwing up this morning, so i wanted to make her feel better."

morning sickness has been your worst enemy so far during your pregnancy. it was what made you question if you were pregnant at the very start, and has been frequently reoccurring throughout your first trimester. it feels like the majority of your time these days is either spent in the bathroom, or in bed absolutely overwhelmed with nausea.

if permitting - when you're leant over the toilet, aaron is always seated on the bathroom floor beside you; rubbing your back in soothing circles, holding back your hair when necessary, whispering an apology or words of encouragement. you insist he doesn't need to be present, the sounds and visual of you retching surely disgusting nonetheless. but he insists he remain put, joking it's rather romantic actually, there's no place he'd rather be.

but in all seriousness, he claims it's the least he could do, and wants to support you in all and any way he can.

even this morning at promptly five am, you had made a mad dash to the bathroom. aaron, never the light sleeper, accompanied you in the bathroom just as quickly as you had entered it.

his tenderness doesn't stop there; he'll grab your ginger ale, crackers, pretzels, anything to relieve your queasiness and keep it at bay. he even joked (but did consider) with the idea of buying you a mini fridge to keep in your bedroom - for even easier access. or if he's not home, you don't have to search far.

the two of you have known about your new littlest addition for a few weeks, and couldn't be more ecstatic. jack - not just yet. but you figure that's a case that will soon be remedied.

you can hear a soft chuckle escape from aaron, and you can easily picture the smile you know is on his face. "that's real nice of you bud, i know she'll love it. but in the meantime, c'mon, let's let her sleep, yeah?"

you hear jack's sock-covered feet pad away on the carpet, the sound of the door softly shutting following soon after.

you fall back asleep without meaning to, exhaustion reigning over your body. but an hour later, and after tearfully looking at jack's card, his scribbly print wishing you well and a doodle of yourself and him, you find the two of them in the living room; jack's on the carpet, busied by legos, while aaron's on the couch, watching some show on the television.

aaron notices you before jack does, raising an eyebrow slightly in question - silently seeking confirmation on how you are feeling now.

you give him a nod, and he seems to relax more against the back of the couch. as you join him, jack's eyes lift.

"c'mere," you pat the empty spot between you and aaron, and soon enough, jack's sandwiched between the two of you, curled more so into your side. aaron grabs the remote, clicking off the tv.

"thank you so much for the card." you place a kiss on the top of his head, your arm going around his shoulders and giving him a squeeze. "you're the sweetest, have i ever told you that?"

"all the time." jack says, his emphasis making you laugh gently. but concern quickly fills his face, his eyes a bit troubled. "are you sick?"

you shake your head, brushing some hair away from his forehead. "nope."

the concern is now replaced by confusion. his eyebrows furrow, making him look extremely like this father. "why'd you throwed up?"

"well..." you exchange a look with aaron, glancing at him overtop jack's head. there's a smile tugging at his lips, a small sparkle in his eyes. "sometimes... it happens. when you're going to have a baby."

it takes jack a few seconds to internalize what you've just told him. but his head whips up to look at you, and then aaron, and then back to you. his eyes are wide. "a baby?"

"a baby." aaron confirms, arching an eyebrow in question. "any objections to being a big brother?"

"no!" jack vigorously shakes his head, his face lighting up even more, grinning from ear to ear. "really?!"

you grin right back. "really."

jack nearly jumps right onto you in excitement, aaron's hands flying out to catch him so the fall isn't as forceful. his gentle warning of careful, is barely audible over jack's next inquiry.

"is it a girl?!"

"we don't know yet," aaron answers, his voice catching slightly which prompts your gaze to switch to him. there's tears threatening his eyes, pooling at his waterline. you swear, you've never seen him so happy.

you help him, adding on, "we'll find out in a few more weeks."

jack nods at this information, still buzzing. "i really really want a sister. but a brother would be super cool too."

aaron nudges jack with his elbow, lips quirking into a smile. "i really, really do too. but more than anything, a healthy baby is what we want."

"a healthy baby." jack agrees, with a small nod of his head. his arms wrap around yourself, burying his face slightly into your abdomen. "that's so cool! i can't wait."

now it's your turn to look at aaron, tearful.

somehow, now that jack is aware, your family feels more complete. you and aaron have talked about growing your family, have discussed it with jack, for as long as you can remember - what it'll be like, having another little hotchner running around and causing havoc, potential names have been tossed around, jack wants to teach his expertises, legos and soccer. you’re eager to see a newborn in aaron’s arms, the new-dad-to-another glow present in him. at the time, it was distant; all memories to hopefully be made someday.

that time, that someday, has finally arrived. and if jack's reaction is anything to go by, you just know, the two of them will the absolute best of friends.

you can’t wait, either.

I know you've done something similar but how would Wilson react during the reader's pregnancy with all the complications (nausea, fainting, cravings…)

ok in very simple terms he’s be super accommodating, like i don’t think there’s a better word to describe it

he’d have small home remedies he’d learnt from his mother to help with the nausea, and whenever he was around when it happened i think he’d stay with you until it passed even if it meant him being late to work or something else

he’s be so sweet and making sure you’re never over exerting yourself and maybe as you’re further along in your pregnancy he’ll help ease the weight you’re carrying every once in a while to give your back a break and you just sink into his arms when he does that because it’s just so much more comfortable

wilson seems like the kind of guy who would end up at a convenience store at 3 in the morning just to get you the exact brand of sour candy or some specific thing you really wanted in the middle of the night, but you’d always feel a little bad about it so you’re sure to share with him whatever he gets you and it makes for some sweet late night conversations, planning out what your life is going to look like together in the upcoming months

all in all he’d be super sweet and protective like i’d mentioned before and it definitely helps you get through the tougher parts of your pregnancy

can you do a lyria is alive but shes a bit snobbish because she came back from the dead and its rowaelin forever?

yes indeed i can :)) *giggles wickedly* thanks for the prompt!!

Word count: 1,547

Warnings: language, Lyria

enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lyria Frelau hadn't experienced much in her few brief decades of life--until she met the famed Fae prince and warrior Rowan Whitethorn and, like the inexperienced teenager she was, fell head over heels in love. She was just over thirty years old, still a youth by Fae standards, and she hadn't been able to believe in the reality of Prince Rowan Whitethorn being...hers.

For all too short a time.

She remembered the nausea of early pregnancy, something completely unexpected but certainly not unwelcome, remembered the giddiness of planning to surprise Rowan when he returned from his latest battlefield assignment. She remembered how shocked she'd felt to realize that she was the mother-to-be of the next great Whitethorn warrior. That little fact gave her no small amount of pride, it did.

She hadn't been expecting the raid that razed her village to the ground, though. Damned bloodthirsty males!

From the hazy, amorphous realm in between life and afterlife, Lyria had watched Rowan Whitethorn, the male who ought to be hers, grieve for what she firmly believed was far too short a time before closing himself off. She watched him turn into a male as icy as his magic, and she felt greatly satisfied at that. After all, he was hers. Nobody else should be able to see his smile.

Then he met a half-Fae female who had wildfire powers, whose wildfire melted his ice, who told him she was his carranam and later, his mate.

Lyria wished to all the dead gods that she was alive, so she could scream at that unfairly beautiful blonde who'd stolen her Rowan until her ears bled.

She really hadn't been expecting to actually come back to life.

~

Disoriented, Lyria shook her head, shook her arms and legs, patted herself and pinched herself and hissed when the pinch felt very real indeed. So she was alive, then. Strange. Next order of business--sail over to Terra Sand or whatever the hell that blonde female's kingdom was called and get her Rowan back where he belonged.

Sneaking onto the ship was easy enough; all it took was a few winks and giggles and a scandalously low neckline before the idiot sailors were tripping all over themselves to let her onboard.

And if she...entertained a few of them at night during the voyage, well, what was a little bit of extra money between friends?

Lyria landed in Orynth a few weeks after she'd mysteriously been reincarnated and promptly marched down the streets towards the grand stone palace. She had a prince to take back, she did. Approaching the palace gates, she squared her shoulders and marched in through the tall, elegantly wrought bronze gates, ignoring the human guards who kept watch over the citizens and tourists entering the palace grounds. She kept her back ramrod straight and her eyes forward, grinning with increasing anticipation the closer she walked to the palace.

Gods, she couldn't wait to see the look on her Rowan's face when she reappeared.

She ignored the guard who shot her a quizzical look as she strode into the palace, her ancient boots creaking against the gleaming new marble floors.

"Ma'am?" Dammit, the guard was a persistent one.

"You needn't worry, guard," she assured him in lofty tones. "I merely come to reclaim my prince."

"Your prince?" The poor guard obviously had no idea who she was.

So she took pity on the poor boy. "I am Lyria Frelau, beloved of Prince Rowan Whitethorn. I have come to bring him back to our home."

The guard cleared his throat. "Ma'am, you do know that His Highness is married to the queen of Terrasen, no?"

"A situation which will swiftly be remedied," Lyria proclaimed, waving away the stupid guard's protests. "And if you must insist upon remaining at my side, do be a good man and present me in the throne room. I believe I shall make a proper entrance."

The guard mumbled something indistinct under his breath. "Very well, ma'am, I shall take you to the throne room." He tipped his head at a passing guardsman, who hurried off down the hall. "I've sent him to warn the queen and king of your presence."

"Warn?" Lyria giggled. "Such a silly word, good guard. I am only here to restore things to the proper order."

As if in mockery of her words, her traitorous boots chose that moment to split apart, the ancient leather giving way to the centuries it had spent buried underground. She huffed and strode onward, ignoring her now-bare feet. Wisely, the guard said nothing.

In moments, she reached a set of imposing oaken doors carved with intricate symbols and etchings, each door bearing the royal crest of Terrasen in gold and emerald.

How tacky.

Lyria cleared her throat imperiously, and the guard pushed open one of the great oak doors.

"A...erm, a Miss--"

Impatient, Lyria pushed past the useless man, striding into the huge, open, light-filled throne room. Her eyes immediately latched onto the dearly familiar male standing on the dais, his silver hair far shorter than it had been two hundred and fifty years ago, tattoos now marking his tan skin. "My dearest Rowan!" she squealed, giddy with delight at seeing his handsome face again.

Rowan, for his part, looked properly astounded. "Lyria?"

The female sitting--no, lounging--in the throne raised her golden blonde brows. "This is your Lyria, Ro?"

Ro. The nickname grated on Lyria's recently-resurrected nerves. "His name is Rowan," she scoffed, "and he does not enjoy being called anything else. Furthermore, who are you to address him in such a familiar manner?"

"His wife, mate, carranam, and queen," the female smirked. "Queen Aelin Whitethorn Galathynius."

Lyria scowled. "I regret to inform you that your mating and marriage is a ruse, because Rowan Whitethorn is my mate."

Aelin laughed. Burning hell, she actually laughed. "Ro, my love, would you like to respond? This should be amusing."

"Amusing for you, maybe," Rowan mumbled. He cleared his throat. "How in all hell are you here, Lyria?"

She beamed at him. "Though I confess I know not how, I have been reanimated!"

On her throne, Aelin snorted, her shoulders shaking with repressed laughter. She flicked a sly glance at Rowan, who shot her an equally mirthful look in return.

Lyria's blood boiled at the sight. "I am not a joke!" she screeched, stomping her bare foot.

"Of course not," Aelin drawled. "I suppose you're here to wheedle Ro back to your sweet side?"

"Precisely," Lyria huffed. "Darling Rowan, I am here again." She fluttered her eyelashes. "And we can return to our cottage by the riverside, just like we planned all those years ago."

"Lyria, I--" Rowan's sentence was interrupted by his wife's cackling.

"Cottage by the riverside?" Aelin wheezed, tears of joy pooling in the corners of her unfairly brilliant eyes. "Please, how is she real?"

"Fireheart," Rowan murmured, clamping his lips together, "I was young and stupid, all right?"

"Mmm, old and stupid is more like it."

He flashed her a playful frown. "By your standards, maybe."

"STOP THAT!" Lyria shrieked, stamping her other foot petulantly. "Come home with me, Rowan, I demand it!"

Calmly, Rowan walked down the dais steps, stood in front of her, and sighed. "I can't do that."

"Of course you can," Lyria snorted. "I am your mate, Rowan."

"No." He shook his head. "That was a sham, a farce Maeve invented to try and trick me away from my life. I do wish she hadn't brought you into her schemes, though; you were too young and innocent to be caught up in that mess."

"A farce?" Lyria gasped. "Nothing is more farcical than you pretending as though I am nothing to you, darling Rowan!" She grabbed his forearm.

Or at least, she tried to grab his forearm. Her suddenly immaterial hands passed right through his body, though.

"Impossible!" she squawked, grasping at Rowan's arms and hands and clothing, all to no avail. "I am real, Rowan, I swear!"

"Mhmm, so real that you're vanishing before our very eyes," Aelin deadpanned.

"No!" Lyria yelped. But indeed, her body was growing more and more weightless by the second, drawn back to whatever afterlife she'd come from.

"Thank you for your little visit," Aelin said sweetly. "It was such a pleasure to briefly meet you, little Lyria."

"I am not little!" Lyria screeched indignantly. "I am Prince Rowan Whitethorn's--" She dissolved into mist before she could finish screaming about who she was, leaving only a breath of cold air to indicate that she'd ever been there.

Aelin lasted all of three seconds before bursting into full-blown laughter, tears of merriment streaming down her cheeks as she guffawed. "Please tell me she was like that when alive, buzzard."

"Unfortunately, yes," Rowan mumbled, his whole face twitching with the effort of restraining his laughter. "She was...young and inexperienced, thinking she was in love. Thinking she had found a mate."

"It's all right to laugh, Ro."

He broke, leaning against her throne as he snorted with laughter. "My gods, she was ridiculous."

"No," Aelin teased, "just a couple centuries out of date." She grinned wickedly. "Expired, as it were."

Rowan gaped.

And then exploded with laughter. "Gods, I love you," he gasped.

Aelin just beamed. "Love you more."

Encanto OC Event Week 2: Mercedes and her twins. Madre e Hijas

Week of relationships! Not sure what to put here. Mom and daughters each designed their own Mochila bag. Mercedes painted flowers. Alejandra decorates her with ribbons, cords and a bead chain. Francisca, she didn't design hers. Alejandra made her a chain out of green glass beads to dress it up.

Let's start at the beginning! Mercedes was shocked and numb realizing she got pregnant so fast after marrying Pablo. (It was just one time!) He was too, but still cheerful and reassuring. His mother, Perla, eventually realizing Mercedes was forced into the marriage when told otherwise, offered comfort. Mercedes steadily grew happy and took one day at a time. It wasn't an easy pregnancy with aches and nausea. While the family was out of town for the day, working out details for their cantina, Mercedes realized she was in labor and gave birth alone. The family came home just in time to find a minute old Francisca snuggled against her tearful, but overjoyed mother. They were able to assist with Alejandra's birth and good thing because she was breech!

Though Mercedes and Pablo discussed names, she chose them. She'd always loved the name Alejandra. It sounded like a brave and kind heroine for a romantic novel. Francisca was a possible name, but not expected. Everyone guessed the twins were both boys or one each. (Sons were common in the Salazar line.) Mercedes might've named her firstborn Alejandra. Yet when she first held her baby, she knew her name was Francisca. She could never explain it.

Mercedes and Alejandra were most alike. They're similar in creativity: both enjoying art while Mercedes was a painter with Alejandra making jewelry and glass. Right down to the full lips, dark brown hair, face shape, and jade green eyes, they look near copies. They're close in personality being caring souls and hopeful though Alejandra clings to the past instead of looking forward. Together they enjoyed doing craft projects, cooking and fixing each other's hair.

Mercedes at first worried about Francisca. Her firstborn crawled and walked later than her twin. She fretted that she did something wrong. However, things changed when Francisca was a toddler. So much changed that Mercedes was confused. She wasn't sure why Francisca wasn't physically affectionate or didn't play like other kids. However, she soon figured her child's growing personality and could read between the lines. Francisca could be loving: more with words and would give hugs though not as warm or often like her sister. She preferred solving puzzles for fun. Mother and daughter had their own way to bond. Mercedes would try playing chess with her and they'd guess riddles. They could have deep conversation about things Francisca couldn't understand. Mercedes always gave attention to Francisca's migraines. She tried every home remedy she learned and comforted her.

Both daughters loved her dearly. They appreciated her hard work, love and strength. Besides, her cooking was great! All three did chores together; gardening was a favorite. They all liked running errands or just taking long walks. After the marriage annulled, the twins showed their mother extra support. Alejandra would cook breakfast so Mercedes could sleep later after night shifts. Francisca worked for extra pay. She also wasn't afraid to stand up for her mom when needed. There were rumors going round that it was Mercedes's fault that Pablo's marriage was annulled. "She must've failed as a wife for him to cheat!" Remember how I said Francisca wasn't afraid to call BS when she saw it?

Mercedes loved both her twins equally and appreciated their differences. She never pitted against each other or have them worry about favorites. Like a good mother, it broke her heart to see them in pain be it physical or mental. She was proud of them, but like any parent was concerned. She knew their flaws and guided to wise choices. She wanted Francisca to have more compassion. (This partially influenced Francisca's work in medicine.) She hoped Alejandra would gain confidence in herself.

Mercedes was upset that Pablo didn't contact their children, but decided she'd fill the roles of both parents. She did her best right to her last breath. Rest assured, she'd be thrilled to know her daughters meet the Madrigals, especially Bruno. He'd be surprised that one of them shares the name of his favorite telenovela heroine: Francisca.

@encanto-extended-edition

Don't worry I'll get to the friendships they each have with Bruno. 😉

What is Rin reaction when she found out that she's pregnant for the first time? and in what way she told Obito?

I think I've read one of your replies to this question, but I don't remember when, but it's been quite a while

You read the one about Obito's reaction (click here) when Rin is giving birth.

Here's Madara's reaction (click here) to both pregnancies - but we never got Rin's reaction! :3

Time for some fluff:

~~

-This is literally how Rin finds out about her pregnancy with her son, their firstborn who is known as the "happy accident" (click here) xD

-Rin started off with morning sickness one day while they were having breakfast together, but they just assumed it was a stomach bug. However, it started persisting and Rin had to excuse herself from her work a few times...until she started to do some thinking and remembered that Obito has been raw-dogging her and she hasn't gotten her period yet, and that's when she finally decided to take a pregnancy test and she did so when Obito was not at home.

-When she saw that the test was positive, she immediately went to a gynaecologist to make sure it wasn't false, and imagine the shock on her face as the doctor told her when she could expect to give birth. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes with her hand covering her mouth as a rush of overwhelming emotions took over her, and she immediately rushes home to be with herself for a bit.

-She takes the time to process her thoughts and emotions as she sits alone at home, rubbing her hand over her belly. How would she tell Obito? Will Obito be happy? Are they ready to be parents? How will he take the news? He's the Hokage, is he ready to be a father? Will she be a good mother? What will the child be like? Is it a boy or a girl?

-She doesn't tell Obito immediately. Instead, she surprises him with it in a simple manner, wanting to see his reaction. She heads out and buys baby shoes and puts it in a gift box, along with her pregnancy stick wrapped in a napkin, and hides it until the next morning - where she gets up before him and places the box on the table and makes a remedy to ease her nausea.

-Obito would then awaken and head to the kitchen, where he sat at the table and notices the cute gift box in the middle. Rin would hide her giddy smile behind her cup when Obito asks what that box is. "It's for you," she says. "Open it!"

-Confused, Obito would slowly open the box, and blink at the baby shoes inside. Rin watches intently as he picks them up and takes the time to process what this means, before he abruptly stands from his seat, the chair almost falling, and stares at Rin in shock. Here, Rin would slowly place her cup down and stand up as well, and she'd maintain a calm smile despite trembling.

-"Rin...You mean..." He looks back into the box and notices the napkin, and he slowly unfolds it to see the positive test. Obito was absolutely speechless. It was already hard to breathe. He'd slowly turn to Rin and ask, "We're...we're going to be parents..?"

-Rin would nod slowly as tears well up in her eyes, and Obito would ask again, "We're going to have a baby...?" When Rin nods agaain, Obito immediately rushes and embraces her, holding her so tightly and burying his head in her shoulder. Rin would cling onto him as her tears finally flow. She'd tell him that she was so scared about his reaction, but she couldn't hide it from him. Obito would pull back and look at her questioningly with his brows furrowed, asking why would she be scared? She was carrying their baby, and he'd tell her that's all he's ever dreamed of. Rin would giggle and just hug him, and nuzzle her head against his chest while Obito runs his hand over her long locks.

-Eventually they'd sit down and talk about what to do next and how to prepare themselves to become parents and whatnot.

Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, mood, reproduction, and immune response. When hormonal levels are in harmony, women experience regular menstrual cycles, stable moods, and overall good health. However, factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and environmental toxins can lead to hormonal imbalances, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and reproductive issues.

The Homeopathic Approach

Homeopathy is a natural healing system that employs highly diluted substances to stimulate the body’s innate healing processes. It is based on the principle of “like cures like,” which means that a substance causing symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in an ill person. This holistic approach allows homeopathy to address not only the physical symptoms but also the emotional and psychological aspects of health.

Key Benefits of Homeopathy for Hormonal Balance

This tailored treatment ensures that the remedies prescribed are specifically suited to the individual’s needs.

Unlike conventional medications, homeopathy does not typically cause side effects, making it a gentle option for women experiencing hormonal imbalances.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

PMS affects a significant number of women, causing symptoms such as bloating, mood swings, and fatigue. Homeopathic treatments, including Lachesis and Sepia, can help balance hormonal fluctuations and alleviate the emotional and physical symptoms associated with PMS.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

Appendicitis: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Foods to Avoid and Prevention

The appendix is a small, finger-like organ in the lower right abdomen. Connected to the large intestine, it plays a role in the digestive system, although its exact function is still a subject of study.

What is Appendicitis?

Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes inflamed, infected, or blocked, causing severe pain in the lower right abdomen. This condition requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications.

Common Causes of Appendicitis

Presence of bacteria, viruses, or parasites in the digestive tract.

Obstruction of the appendix by hardened stool.

Pus or abscess formation around the appendix.

Signs and Symptoms of Appendicitis

Dull pain near the belly button, moving to the lower right abdomen.

Increased pain with movement, coughing, sneezing, deep breathing, or touching the area.

Sudden, acute pain when the appendix is impacted by stool, potentially leading to rupture.

Symptoms of peritonitis, a severe infection, if the appendix bursts, including widespread abdominal pain.

Other Symptoms

Vomiting

Fever

Indigestion

Nausea

Swollen abdomen

Constipation or diarrhoea

Difficulty passing gas or excessive gas

Loss of appetite

Pain during urination or in the rectum, back, or other abdominal areas.

Foods and Appendicitis

While specific foods do not directly cause appendicitis, maintaining a high-fiber diet and proper hydration can help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues that may impact the appendix. Focus on overall good hygiene and health practices rather than individual foods.

Complications of Appendicitis

Appendicitis can lead to serious complications, including:

Ischemia and Necrosis: Severe swelling cuts off blood supply, causing tissue decay.

Gangrene/Perforation: Necrosis can lead to internal gangrene or rapid perforation.

Abscess/Phlegmon: Infection may be contained near the appendix, forming an abscess or phlegmon, which can rupture.

Peritonitis and Spreading Infection: Infection spreading into the peritoneal cavity can affect other organs and lead to septicemia, potentially causing sepsis and septic shock.

Diagnosis of Appendicitis

To diagnose appendicitis, a doctor will review your medical history and perform the following tests:

Urine Tests: To check for infections.

Blood Tests: To detect infection through elevated white blood cell count.

Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI (especially during pregnancy) to assess internal organs and confirm appendicitis.

Treatment of Appendicitis

Immediate medical attention is crucial for appendicitis. If untreated, a burst appendix can lead to a fatal infection. Treatment typically involves removing the appendix through surgery:

Open Surgery: A single incision is made in the stomach to remove the appendix and any pus if it has burst.

Laparoscopic Surgery: Multiple small incisions are made to insert surgical tools and a camera, allowing for a minimally invasive removal of the appendix.

Home Remedies for Appendicitis

Appendicitis is a serious condition that requires medical treatment. However, after surgery, follow your doctor’s advice, which may include:

Taking prescribed antibiotics and pain relievers.

Getting ample rest.

Staying hydrated.

Engaging in light daily walks.

Avoid strenuous activities until cleared by your doctor.

Keeping surgical sites clean and dry.

Adjusting your diet as needed, especially if experiencing post-surgery nausea or constipation.

Recovery Time after Appendectomy

Recovery time varies based on whether the appendix has burst. A non-burst appendix typically allows for quicker recovery, while a burst appendix may require a longer hospital stay and antibiotic treatment.

Conclusion

While the appendix is a vestigial organ, appendicitis is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Follow your doctor’s treatment plan and take the necessary precautions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Home Remedy Migraine During Pregnancy

Many pregnant women get migraines, which are intense headaches that can cause severe pain and discomfort. A migraine is often distinguished by a throbbing or pulsating sensation on one side of the head, as well as other symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise. These migraines can be especially difficult to treat while pregnant, as many medications may be harmful to the fetus. Fortunately, there are a few home cures that can provide relief while causing no harm to you or your child. In this post, we will discuss the reasons, triggers, risks and problems, as well as home treatments that may help you.

*MENSTRUAL CRAMPS*

Cramps and pelvic pain with menstruation, with common causes such as heavy flow, passing clots, uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

* COMMON CAUSES*

Menstrual cramps can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include normal periods, heavy periods, wind or constipation.

For informational purposes only. Consult your local medical authority for help or advise

*Treatments*

*Self-treatment

Taking pain medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen or paracetamol may help to relieve menstrual cramps and pain. Using a heating pad may also help.

Menstrual cramps can be caused by:

1. Endometriosis. Tissue that acts similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, most commonly on fallopian tubes, ovaries or the tissue lining your pelvis.

2. Uterine fibroids. These noncancerous growths in the wall of the uterus can cause pain.

Adenomyosis. The tissue that lines your uterus begins to grow into the muscular walls of the uterus.

Pelvic inflammatory disease. This infection of the female reproductive organs is usually caused by sexually transmitted bacteria.

3. Cervical stenosis. In some women, the opening of the cervix is small enough to impede menstrual flow, causing a painful increase of pressure within the uterus.

Complications

Menstrual cramps don't cause other medical complications, but they can interfere with school, work and social activities.

Certain conditions associated with menstrual cramps can have complications, though. For example, endometriosis can cause fertility problems. Pelvic inflammatory disease can scar your fallopian tubes, increasing the risk of a fertilized egg implanting outside of your uterus (ectopic pregnancy).

Symptoms

Symptoms of menstrual cramps include:

*Throbbing or cramping pain in your lower abdomen that can be intense

*Dull, continuous ache

*Pain that radiates to your lower back and thighs

Some women also have:

Nausea

Loose stools

Headache

Dizziness

*13 things you can do at home to relieve period cramps*

Maybe you, like 90% of menstruating women, experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) when you’re about to get your period. Cramps, irritability and fatigue – dealing with these and other period symptoms every month can be as frustrating as they are painful.

The good news is there are many remedies you can do at home (and on the go) that might help you relieve period cramps and other period symptoms. It’s important to remember that these techniques won’t always work, especially for chronic conditions like endometriosis, but they can offer relief for mild to moderate period pain.

1. Drink more water to reduce bloating

A few days before your period begins, and maybe even during your period, you may feel like your stomach or other parts of your body are swollen, or that you’ve gained weight. This is due to water retention, or bloating. Bloating is a normal and common period symptom, but it can cause discomfort and make menstrual cramps worse.

While it may sound counterintuitive, drinking water regularly throughout the day can help reduce bloating during your period and alleviate some of the pain it causes. Try carrying a water bottle around with you and fill it up several times during the day. How much water each person should drink can vary, but a good goal is to drink at least eight, 8-oz. glasses of water per day. Also, drinking hot water can increase blood flow throughout your body and relax your muscles. This can lessen cramps caused by uterine contractions.

2. Drink herbal teas to relieve period pain

Certain types of herbal tea have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce bloating and inflammation, and antispasmodic compounds that can reduce the muscle spasms in the uterus that cause cramping. Drinking cinnamon, lemon, dandelion and hibiscus teas can help with bloating. Raspberry leaf, chamomile, thyme and oolong teas can help relieve menstrual cramps. And ginger, peppermint and green teas can help with both. Plus, these herbal teas can have other benefits, like stress relief and helping with insomnia.

3. Eat anti-inflammatory foods to ease menstrual cramps

Some foods can offer natural relief for cramps, and they taste great. Anti-inflammatory foods can help promote blood flow and relax your uterus. Try eating berries, tomatoes, pineapple and spices like turmeric, ginger or garlic. Leafy green vegetables, almonds, walnuts and fatty fish, like salmon, can also help reduce inflammation.

4. Skip the treats to avoid extra bloating and pain

While a brownie or french fries might sound delicious, foods high in sugar, trans fat and salt can cause bloating and inflammation, which makes muscle pain and cramps worse. So, try to avoid or reduce how much red meat, high fructose corn syrup, highly processed foods and foods with added oils you’re eating. Instead, reach for fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and unsalted nuts and seeds.

5. Drink decaf coffee to improve period pain

Caffeine causes your blood vessels to narrow. This can constrict your uterus, making cramps more painful. If you need your coffee fix, switch to decaf during your period. If you rely on caffeine to beat the afternoon slump, eat a snack high in protein or take a quick 10-minute walk to boost your energy.

6. Try dietary supplements to help with menstrual symptoms

Vitamin D can help your body absorb calcium and reduce inflammation. Other supplements, including omega-3, vitamin E and magnesium, can help reduce inflammation and might even make your periods less painful. For best results, take supplements every day, not just during your period. Also, because some supplements interact with medications, be sure to ask your doctor before taking anything new.

7. Apply heat to calm cramping

A little heat can help your muscles relax, improve blood flow and relieve tension. Try sitting with a heating pad over your lower stomach, taking a hot shower or relaxing in a hot bath.

8. Exercise for muscle relaxation and endorphins

If you’re in pain, exercise might be the last thing on your mind. But even gentle exercise releases endorphins that make you feel happy, reduce pain and relax your muscles. Fifteen minutes of yoga, light stretching or walking might be all you need to feel better. And if exercise is already a part of your routine, did you know that tracking your period can help you improve athletic performance?

9. Reduce stress to improve mental and physical period symptoms

Stress may make cramps worse. Use stress relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing, yoga or your own favorite way to relieve stress. If you’re not sure how to relieve stress, try guided imagery. Simply close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine a calm, safe place that’s significant to you. Stay focused on this space for at least a few minutes while you take slow, deep breaths.

10. Try massage therapy to reduce cramping and stress

One study found that massage therapy significantly reduced menstrual pain in women with endometriosis. Massages may reduce uterine spasms by relaxing the uterus. In order to manage period cramps most effectively, massage therapy should focus on the abdominal area. But a full body massage that reduces your overall stress may also help to relieve menstrual cramps.

11. Take over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to get rid of period cramps

The hormone prostaglandin can cause muscle contractions and pain. Anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen can provide fast-acting relief by reducing the amount of prostaglandins in your body. OTC medicines may not always magically cure menstrual cramps, but they can often improve pain significantly. For best results, only take OTC medicines when you start to feel cramps. And remember, speak with your doctor if you’re not sure which OTC medication is best for you.

12. Try alternative medicine for PMS relief

Some people find relief with alternative medicine practices like acupuncture and acupressure. Acupuncture is a practice that stimulates the body by placing needles in the skin. Acupressure stimulates the body without needles by putting pressure on certain points of the body. These practices can help you relax, release muscle tension and improve blood flow throughout your body.

13. Start hormonal birth control

Birth control can stop period pain if cramps are caused by a hormone imbalance. Balancing your levels of estrogen and progesterone helps thin the uterine lining so it sheds more easily. Hormonal birth control also regulates the length and frequency of your period. Some forms of birth control can completely alleviate period cramps by stopping your period altogether. Talk to your OB-GYN about birth control options, including the pill, birth control shot or hormonal IUD. Then, you’ll be able to choose the type of birth control that works best for you.
