Remus: The husband one or the animal ones?

Logan: The animal ones but how is Janus?

Remus: Pissier every day and both types of snakes are ready to have the babies.

He only changes the spelling of his name because he likes Roman mythology (and his parents wouldn't notice)

People at his old school would think he was faking it because he didn't change the pronunciation of his name

Due to his name, people were quicker to misgender him until he was 100% passing

So he stopped going by his name

He told Remus to pick a letter (Remus chose 'D' because he's Remus) and he went by that - Remus was pretty much his only friend before he transferred so it was easy to go by it

So most knew "D", "Dee" or "Dee Dee" long before they met "Janus"

To hide it from his folks, he was goth (TM) Like the capelet, button ups, slacks, everything

One time, Roman made a jab at the femininity of his name and he lowkey cried for 20 minutes

Remus: The light sides will be fine, Jannybear, just take a day off so we can cuddle.

Janus: No, I’m late!

Remus: Oh! Oh! Babe, it’s okay, baby, I love you and we’ll raise the baby together if that’s what you want.

Janus: Tired. Proud. Look at the baby. Isn’t he cute?

Remus: Looks like an alien.

Janus: Excuse you, we made that alien.

Remus: What?

Deceit: Remus, baby.

Remus: Yeah, what?

Deceit: No, Remus. Positive.

Remus: So, we made...a baby?

Deceit: *nodding* We made a baby.

(Sure! I’ve been meaning to write all week but my brain just keeps powering down like it’s trying to do some power-saving bullshit.)

Deceit looked over him and Remus’ tiny humanlings. He and Remus made these little terrors, because of course some had received Remus’ knack for chaos. But they were kind little monsters, he’d taught them well enough to have proper manners.

Currently, Wyatt and David were running around in the yard, both screeching at each other and trying to throw water balloons at each other’s faces. Lilah and Milly were both digging in the sandpit for some god forsaken reason. Rylie and Vivia were pushing each other on the swings on the playset. And then there was Jamie, who was inside with him and Remus as they made dinner, just coloring in her notebook.

“Jamie, wanna go outside and tell your siblings that dinner’s gonna be ready in a few minutes?” Deceit offered the six year old.

“Yeah!” And then Jamie was off, running through the backyard like a lightning bolt, telling all her siblings that dinner would be ready soon and to come inside because it was getting dark.

“Finally, no kids.” Remus pressed a kiss to Deceit’s lips, making him chuckle and kiss him back.

“There will be soon, they’ll be outnumbering us again.”

“Not my fault your body makes batches like goddamn cookies.”

“I am not a mother cookie, Remus.”

“You’re sure as sweet as one.”

“You’re lucky vowed to love you no matter how stupid you are when I married you.”

“Hah! So you do love me!” Deceit shook his head fondly as Remus finished setting out plates and grabbed Jamie when she ran back inside with Lilah and Milly closely following her.

“Hey, munchkin! You did so good!” Remus greeted her and set her in her spot at the table, doing so with the other kids that slowly came back inside, the last one being Vivia as she finally notices everyone else was inside.

“How did we get here, Remus?” Deceit asked once dinner was over, the dishes were cleaned, and all the kids were in bed.

“I distinctly remember you saying, and I quote, ‘Hey, Remus, help me end my heat this year?’ And it just kinda spiralled from there. I mean, we got married, Virgil nearly strung me up my my guts when he found out we got married because you were pregnant, good times.” Deceit glared at him but broke into laughter.

“Don’t forget our honeymoon.” Deceit kissed him, feeling Remus hug up behind him, the warm body against his back calming him and making him tired from being would up all day.

“Oh, I definitely remember, don’t worry about that.” Remus kissed his neck, making him laugh at the tickle of his mustache. “Now, how about a bath and a science show before we go to sleep?” Remus offered.

“That sounds amazing.” Deceit smiled, letting Remus pull him into the bedroom and to their private bathroom. Deceit loved being Mom, especially when that title came with Remus running his fingers over his faded dark line on his belly as he admired his body while they watched the science behind the universe.

Virgil: Oh, it’s that time again.

Remus: Yep. This is why I was trying to leave him out of this but none of you would listen to me.

Roman: What’s happening?

Deceit: I’m bleeding and dying now let me sleep. *falls onto the couch and goes to sleep*
