Pt 1 Pregnancy (Zoey x Mystery)
Wide brown eyes stared down at the stick that sat cradled within her trembling hands. This wasnโt supposed to happen yet, she had a plan for her life and kids were meant to come into the picture for at least ten more years. After retiring from Idol life and living happily ever off of all the royalties they had coming their way. Her brain spiraled frantically, hadnโt they been careful!? She never missed her birth control, and 85% of the time they also used protectionโฆ
Zoey slowed closed her eyes, took slow steady box breathes, inhaleโฆ holdโฆ exhaleโฆ holdโฆ rinse and repeat until the tightness in her chest eased itself loose. Once the trembling relaxed she risked gazing back down at the pink lines, there was no point letting the negative thoughts sink her down. There wasnโt any logical reason to assume his reaction before even telling him.
Two parties were responsible here, two VERY enthusiastic parties, and it wouldnโt be fair if she didnโt at least give him a chance to give his thoughts. It took a few minutes for Zoey to be able to stand on shaky feet, she made her way to where Mystery was humming quietly along to the lyrics Juni had dropped off. The Saja Boys had signed up for a concert across America coming on in a few months, so they needed to prep. All while also learning how to live as a human in modern times.
The sight brought a fond smile to her lips, lavender hair clipped up out of his face as he chewed on the bottom of a pen, it took a moment for those golden gems to flick up to meet her own gaze. Whatever it was he found brought a frown and a reached out hand towards Zoeyโฆ fuckโฆ she didnโt want to start crying but such a gentle gesture from him triggered instantaneous water works. Panicking he bolted over to envelop the hunter up in his arms, making soft sounds to attempt to soothe her.
โWhY Do YoU hAvE tO bE sO sWeEtTtTtT!?!?!โ
He paused and pulled back to give her a genuinely bewildered expression,ย
โ...Is that a bad thing?โ
Zoey weakly smacked his shoulder with a dragged out sob, tears pouring down her cheeks at his sweet innocence. She held up the positive test to him before loudly declaring to Mystery,
One word and all movement ceased. The entire room dropped in temperature for a few seconds before the former demon leaned back to see her and what was being shown to him. There was a moment of confusion as he took the piece of plastic to look at, Mystery took a sniff of it before she could stop him. Zoey snatched it back frantically
โNo! No! You do not want to do that!โ
โThisโฆ thing told you youโre pregnantโ
โShouldnโt a doctor do that?โ
โOh my go- this comes FIRST!โ
She could see his brain functioning, it was a good thing that for the band he hid his features. Cuz this man was terrible at being subtle with those expressions, which was why the huntress saw him scooping her up into his arms. Before she could struggle his lips were pressed to her own in both joy and adoration. A shiver of excitement trailed down the length of her spine and when he pulled back just enough to rest their foreheads together, he quietly asked
โThis is your choice Zoey, I wonโt force you to do anything you donโt want. Itโs your body and your choice.โ
Those words unlocked something so very deep inside her chest, all the childhood trauma of fearing abandonment melted like the last frost before spring. This felt right, he felt right, and she dove right back in for another kiss. The way his hands cradled the back of her head, wrapping around his shoulders to arch her body up into his. Their lips pulled a whisper distance apart so she could gaze up into his golden gaze drowning with love.
โThink youโre ready to be a dad? You have a whole tour coming up. We can wait?โ
โDo you want this Zoey? Now? Here? Because whatever you decideโฆ Iโm with,โ
Zoey took a deep breath, her hand searching out his which squeezed firmly to brace the black haired girl. She always wanted to be a mom, give a kid all the consistent happiness that was missing from her own family of divorce. So many forgotten birthdays, constant screaming, parent teacher conferences ignored, everything that her own offspring would never suffer from. A squeak escaped as Mystery hoisted her up to sit on the Marble island countertop, her manicured hands grip his shoulders to not topple over.
He stepped in between her legs while leaning into rest foreheads together, and Zoey felt so safe with him. Those hands reached up to cradle his face tenderly as if it was carved from alabaster, how had she gotten so luckyโฆ
โ...I want thisโฆ Want to make a home with youโฆ Live happily ever afterโฆโ
The smile that reached his eyes like liquid honey was unlike any expression sheโd ever seen before. Her brain flatlined as his fingers pulled out an ornate ring box, there was no wayโฆย
โIs it too soon for this? Iโm still figuring out all of these new mortal traditions. When I was last alive Iโd have given your family livestock and land, thankfully Rumi explained that that wasnโt how to do it no-โ
She cut him off with a deep passionate kiss that made the world spin in the BEST way. He caught her bottom lip with a nip from his still pointy canines, Zoey grinned from ear to ear.
โLooks like we have a wedding to plan.โ
โAnd a crib to build.โ
โWe should tell everyone.โ
Mystery leaned in with a predatory grin,
โAfter we celebrate firstโฆโ
