gotta free the plot bunny before it chews up all my brain cells here we go

parents!dunkaerion, baby/kidfic? it's a literal drabble idk omegaverse or a/b/o mention at the end, mpreg implied, childbirth mention, fainting mention, alpha!dunk, omega!aerion, mates, modern!au

comments, likes, reblogs, chatter welcome, yes yes

anyway i feel like dunk would be the kind of dad that tosses his kids super high in the air and pretends to bodyslam them into cushions and otherwise tosses those babies around and the babies love it so much, they're giggling and squealing for more air time, those baby belly laughs and all

meanwhile aerion's in the background trying not to lose his mind because yeah sure he's read the literature that says it's all good for babies' health and development to do that but that's still His Babies

but also aerion will be DAMNED before he 1) takes that joy away from dunk, 2) admits to being scared, 3) does anything to keep his children from developing into the best versions of humanity the world has ever seen

alternatively, in an omegaverse or a/b/o setting, imagine omega!aerion being the one to toss the babies around and swing those toddlers like they're wiggly potato sacks and alpha!dunk is the one panicking over everything. then again, dunk DID faint several times during the delivery process - once when he saw blood coming from aerion, the second time when he cut the first baby's cord and it was squishier than he thought, and the third time when aerion delivered a surprise twin to the first baby. for the second pregnancy, aerion banned him from the delivery room.

edit: also the idea just hit me of aerion in the birthing bed being the one to notice that dunk's gone super pale and wobbly and starts screeching not out of pain but for someone to catch the idiot before he falls and puts a hole in the hospital floor, and this is a private wing don't they know and how come no one's paying attention to his, aerion targaryen - literally the name on the wing - targaryen's, mate?????

even worse if it's a c-section that aerion has to go through and dunk decided to take a peek behind the curtain to make sure everything was going alright and oh boy, he was definitely not expecting to see so much of his mate's insides like that.

Twins AU

until it’s you on that table.

Flat on your back.

Arms out. Lights blinding.

A room full of people you barely know.

And a curtain between you…

and the most important moment of your life.

You hear the machines.

You feel the pressure.

The pulling. The tugging.

But you can’t see anything.

And your mind?

It’s racing louder than all of it.

Is my baby okay?

Why is it taking so long?

Are they breathing?

Please let them cry…

You’re trying to be strong.

Trying not to panic.

Trying to trust what you can’t see.

Because on the other side of that curtain…

everything you love is happening.

And you’re just lying there—

hoping, praying, holding your breath—

waiting for one sound…

That first cry.

The one that finally tells you…
