YQY is the one who wants a child.
For Bing-ge, children are complicated. He never had a particularly positive image of family. In his experience, children often became the reason affection drifted away. If YQY wants one, he'll give him one—but at first, that's about as far as his enthusiasm goes.
When YQY becomes pregnant, Bing-ge notices himself growing irritated for reasons he doesn't fully understand. YQY's attention is drawn toward the baby. Other people start calling him "Papa." It feels as if he's becoming an attachment to the child rather than YQY's partner.
Meanwhile, YQY is trying very hard.
He hides how miserable the morning sickness is. He worries constantly that Bing-ge will feel neglected or left behind. He wants Bing-ge to love their child, wants him to embrace being a father, and he keeps reaching out, sometimes a little desperately.
Bing-ge never pushes him away. He responds, he listens, he stays by YQY's side. But there are moments when he catches himself treating YQY's anxieties the same way he once handled the worries of palace wives, and the realization leaves him feeling guilty.
He starts talking to the baby.
He starts worrying about the baby.
He starts making things for the baby.
Eventually, he finds himself looking forward to meeting the tiny person who has grown strong by taking so much from YQY.
YQY insists the baby belongs to both of them.Bing-ge sees a tiny YQY.
YQY sees a tiny Bing-ge.Their temporary nickname for the baby becomes "Half-and-Half(半分こっこ)," which gradually turns into "Little Koko."
⇧「半分こっこ→こっこ→ここ」は日本語の言葉遊びです
(In Japanese, the nickname comes from a little wordplay about the baby being half Yue Qingyuan and half Luo Binghe.)
By the time the pregnancy reaches a stable stage, they're finally sharing the happiness together.
YQY tells him, "You're going to be a wonderful father."And for the first time, Bing-ge believes it.
After the child is born, YQY ends up being the stricter parent.
Bing-ge is the softer one.
YQY worries that too much indulgence will make the child indecisive like himself.
Bing-ge argues that too many restrictions will only make a child grow bitter.
The one secretly spoiling the kid the most, however, is Shen Jiu.Naturally.
Both fathers eventually agree on only one rule:"Whatever you do, don't fall in love with Uncle Shen Jiu."
I just really love the idea of Bing-ge slowly learning how to become a father, not because he ever wanted children, but because he loves Yue Qingyuan enough to grow into the role. ❤️
