Well.. they are very cute..

[ ... ]

Why don't you come visit them? See how you feel.

1/2

[heartsteel]

!!!!!! okay i'm omw babe wait for me!!!

[heartsteel]

i am SO fucking pregnant standing up takes me forever now :(

[loong]

It's very cute, you know.

[heartsteel]

i bet you think i'm cuter the bigger i get 🤨 lmao

i like it tho... means our babies are getting bigger too

i don't mind taking 5 years to get out of a chair if it means the twins are strong and healthy

[loong]

And if I do? Your waddle is cute.

But I agree.. as much as I enjoy you this way, I'm very ready to meet them.

[heartsteel]

probably only about 10 weeks left... that's crazy, that feels like no time at all

enjoy the waddle while it lasts!!

[loong]

[ oh he will!! ]

Mm, it's hardly any time at all. They'll be here before we know it. I hope we have everything we need..

[heartsteel]

i'm sure we do, we've been so good about lists and stuff and i think you've read probably every parenting book that's been published

two months and change and we're gonna meet our babies...

i'm so excited 😭

[loong]

So am I. Though I'm also a little bit nervous. I'm sure we'll do just fine, but still.. this is all so new.

[heartsteel]

yeah... i know what you mean. like excited but scared? it's a lot of responsibility and it'll change so much for us

but even knowing all that i still want it more than i think i've ever wanted anything, except maybe marrying you

are you gonna be in the delivery room with me?

[loong]

Mm. We'll be responsible for the happiness of two young lives. It's a heavy responsibility.

Still, I agree. This is something I've wanted my entire life.

Wild horses couldn't pull me away from you, my heart. Of course I will be.

[heartsteel]

once the twins are born, will you need to like... tell anybody? that we made baby vidyadhara? like anyone on the luofu or... whatever

or am i totally overthinking it lmao

also good cause if i'm gonna push two babies out of my body for you i think i deserve your hand to squeeze while i do it 😤 (jk i'm honored to do it but i do really really want you there)

[loong]

You're not overthinking it. I should. Though I am no longer High Elder, I nonetheless have a duty to my people to let them know. This is something that many vidyadhara have been searching for for millennia.

As for that.. yes, you can squeeze my hand all you need. I'll be right beside you. They'll have a difficult time attempting to expel me, if it comes to it.

[heartsteel]

when you tell them, i hope they're proud of you ♡

i'll introduce them to the moon too so the silver sister knows to protect them. our babies are gonna have so many blessings on their sides

[loong]

Well. We'll see about that.

They'll certainly be well protected. And strong. Surely they will develop cloudhymn abilities as well.. all vidyadhara are capable of it.

[heartsteel]

if they're not then i'll kick their asses 😌 and no matter what, i'm proud of you and i know how hard you've worked for this. you're amazing, baby

i'm sure they will. they already take after you, i bet cloudhymn will come. when do those powers usually manifest?

[loong]

Well, you certainly helped. You helped a great deal, in fact - you've done most of the hard work.

Hmm, it depends on the person, but usually by adolescence the lessons will begin. Though when exactly 'adolescence' will be for them remains to be seen.

[heartsteel]

let me put a pin in the cloudhymn thing for a second because i really want to say this

i am really proud of myself and my body, i love that i'm able to carry your children and that they're growing so well inside me, but i don't want to sell you short either

they were your eggs first, and besides, even if you're not the one carrying them, you've been so fucking incredible as a partner, you've taken such good care of me and spoiled me so much... what you're doing is hard work too

i know i haven't made it easy to be around me this whole time, but you've always shown up for me even when i was fully losing my mind to hormones 😭 you are a wonderful husband and you're going to be such an amazing dad and i meant it when i said this is an honor for me, i am so so grateful i get to do this with you

[loong]

[ oh. why does he have the best husband in the world?? ]

Pheli. My love. My heart.

Thank you, I appreciate your words. Just know that it has been wonderful, taking care of you. Every bit, even when you were losing your mind. Every moment of this has been a blessing, and we're only just beginning. I can hardly wait for all the rest.

[heartsteel]

even that day that i fully had a meltdown because the pickle brine tasted slightly different than what i was expecting? lmao

i love you. i don't just love you, i think love is you, i think i learned what love is when i fell in love with you. and i absolutely cannot wait to find out what the universe has in store for us, as lovers and as parents to our beautiful perfect babies ♡

[loong]

Yes, and also when you had a meltdown because your loofah "felt weirder than usual".

I love you too, and only the aeons know how I could have gotten so lucky to find you. You're my entire world, my treasure. You, and the twins. There was no color in my life before you.

[heartsteel]

when you get home i'm gonna kiss you certifiably stupid, oh gorgeous wonderful charming thoughtful husband of mine. you've been warned~

as for our children... lol

i grew pretty much like a normal human until about sixteen, then it slowed down a lot... so i guess for them, they'll be somewhere between lunari and vidyadhara that way, i guess?

[loong]

I can hardly wait. I love being kissed stupid. After that, curry for dinner, if you're in the mood?

I see, well I suppose time will tell. This is entirely new territory, there are no old texts to rely on to help us through this, but we will figure it out as we go along.

[heartsteel]

mmm curry sounds perfect, especially if it has lotus root in it 😋

yeah, we really are gonna be figuring it out as we go... but i feel confident that we can do it, i think we're gonna be really good parents
