Note: That was legit the second one-shot idea I had a draft of. Time to finish this bish...
- Requested by none -
A lot has happened and a lot has changed after you met the daemos. You knew when they got the chance to stay behind on Daemos, they'd take it since Prince Asch disliked you and he would rather stay away from you. And thus, after something happened to you all on Daemos, Asch decided it would be the best for everyone if they left earth for good. However, a certain blue-horned former magic user disagreed with the idea of leaving, much to the newly crowned king's confusion. Would not be the first time they had an arguement over what's best for everyone. But their arguement resulted in Rhys following you back to earth.
Lady Grandma was proud of her soul pupil to finally have come to terms with what he himself wanted, and not what his king ordered him to choose. Asch on the other hand reluctant let go of Rhys as basically his right hand man and royal advisor.
You already fell in love with him before you went to Daemos, but he was the one to confess on the day of your return. At this point, Asch and the others left on good terms with earth and were looking forward to visiting you and your soon-to-be husband. Perhaps, some offspring as well...
One human year later, Rhys got (for the most part) used to the human world. Turns out he loved mathematics and physics. Especially since he only knew about magic, so he was thrilled to know that not everything revolves around some kind of magic that is never spoken of by any humans. He started working in a small laboratory because it was the closest to daemos he enjoyed doing.
In the middle of his second year on earth, him and you had gotten engaged, and got married just two months after. Human style. He was excited, and even more nervous than you. But it surprised Rhys when you told him that marriages happened in different themes and could be altered from the standard. No solid rituals were involved except for the vows, the exchange of the rings, and usually the kiss that seals the marriage.
During your honeymoon, you told Rhys the basics of how human anatomy works. Apparently it's pretty much the same as with daemos. Minus the horns and magic as well as enhanced physical abilities. Rhys was the one who came up with the idea of having a child with you, saying that he wouldn't mind a human child either.
As soon as you two had your intimate time together, you already had some morning sickness two days after. He didn't waste any time on researching a pregnant woman's symptoms. Female humans were almost the same as female daemos when carrying a child. However, daemos are born after just four months due to magic being used in their growth. But since he couldn't and wouldn't use magic on you, . And the pregnant females tend to act more aggressive than the other emotions humans switch in between. The males becoming fathers are more protective and vigilant over their lover and their offspring. According to Ava, there is a chance that the baby, or babies, might be too big or facing the wrong way when the day comes, and that the pregnant female has to get a so called c-section, which involved cutting into the woman's abdomen, in order for the baby to come out and survive. Rhys hoped by the gods that you would'nt have to go trough this.
Months later, you found out your child would be male. Your husband was fascinated by the image being projected by scans and actually was close to crying when he saw your baby boy. At first, it was believed that it was a pure human one, but no. During later scans, tiny horns began to show. The blue-horned daemos in human disguise was happy that his child might be more daemos after all. However, the horns worried him. Not only did the doctors question how a human seemingly is being born with something from its head, but pushing out the baby, head first, would be terrible for you.
Throughout your pregnancy, Rhys made sure to take care of you and made you stay away from work early. Your boss was kind of confused since you were in your first months at that time, but he did allow you to stay at home after Rhys talked to him about it.
When you were angry, your husband would give you a videogame as a distraction and try to calm you down with it.
When you were sad, he would give you ice cream and comfort you.
When you were a little too happy for what's considered "a normal and sane human being", he would just try to smile and agree with you on stuff you were fangirling over, even if he wasn't a fan of it himself.
He'd get more excited than you whenever you told him that you could feel the baby kicking you. Yes, you were excited, but it's not really all that cute for you once you realized that a daemos' kick is stronger than a human's kick.
During your last month, Rhys was mainly the one who usually panicked over everything you did. He already had figured out a plan on where to jump towards the hospital when it's time. He calculated it all so no time would be wasted. Your man was prepared.
And it was time.
You took deep and shaky breaths as you called out to your husband from the couch. You were watching TV when you suddenly felt something wet going down your leg. Looking down, you noticed blood on the couch as well as your leg. That's when you started to panic.
"R-RHYS! THE- THE BABY! THE BABY IS COMING!"
Your husband was cooking you a meal when he heard you call out to him. He turned off the stove before sprinting over to you, clearly panicked himself now that it was finally happening. Rhys picked you up bridal style and jumped out the window you had opened earlier due to the heat. He then proceeded to use the exact jump route he planned out from your apartment all the way to the hospital. Good that no human saw him, at least as far as you both knew.
Through your time in labor, Rhys was holding your hand whenever he could. He was asked to leave the room until it was over once the doctor's told him that you needed a c-section due to your kid's tiny yet already semi-pointy horns. Not willing to risk any internal bleeding in your abdamon, you had to go with a c-section. Your husband was used to seeing blood, mainly on the battlefield, but he couldn't bear seeing you cut open and your guts showing. Female daemos didn't have any issues giving birth to their offspring because their flesh basically became resistent over the many generations. Tiny daemos horn aren't really pointy enough to cut like an actual weapon, but they could still tear up a human's insides.
It's been hours and Rhys kept pacing around in front of the chair he was instructed to sit on, anxiously awaiting news from one of the doctors about your well-being as well as his son's.
Suddenly, a doctor came out of the room. The daemos gave the human a worried look. "Is my wife alright? Is our baby alright??"
The doctor took off his somewhat still blood-stained gloves and mask before speaking. "No need to worry any longer, Mr.(L/N)- Your wife stayed strong through it all, even in an unconscious state. She's being closed up right now but is in stable condition. For the next few months, please avoid physical intercourse regarding her abdomen due to the pain she will endure for some time after this", he then smiled. "As for your son: He is alright and healthy. Despite him having this strange skull formation with these almost horn-like features, he seems fine and alive."
Rhys let out a sigh of relief before nervously laughing. "Y-Yeah... that might be because of my relatives'... skull mutation... Those, um, horn-like features are usually just there in their first months... heh...", he lied.
"Hm... Alright then. We'd like to keep your wife and child in the hospital for a little longer however, just to run some more check-ups on both their consistent health while you two can bond a little with your child. This should only take about two to five days", the doctor said. The daemos in human disguise said that it's fine with him.
You woke up to your husband next to your hospital bed, holding your hand as tears began to form in his eyes. His smile was as bright as ever, happy to finally have a family with you.
A nurse came back in with your son in her arms, who was still crying out for his mom and dad.
You later found out that your son had the same abilities as his father. Not only was he a fast learner and pretty calm instead of panicked, but he also had the same amount of raw strength as a daemos. His hair was dark brown, his horns were blue, but his eyes were (e/c) and his skin was (s/c).
You couldn't wait to raise this little half-daemos with your lovely husband.
