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

[loong]

Lotus root, yes, and bamboo shoots.

I think so too. If nothing else, our children will be very well loved. I imagine the boys must be getting very excited, as well.

[heartsteel]

they're so excited, i sometimes think they're even more excited than me lmao

it's funny how different they are tho, ez and sett want to touch my belly all the time but k'sante and kayn treat me like if they're not careful i'm gonna pop 😂 yone is the only one being normal about it

[loong]

That all sounds about as expected, yes. I'm glad that you have such a strong support system. They'll all make for excellent uncles.

[heartsteel]

i think they will too ♡ definitely fun uncles, but probably the type to give them back as soon as they start crying lmao

[loong]

Typical.









Just how often does he touch your belly?

[heartsteel]

not ALL the time, but pretty much every time i see him? he likes feeling them move and he says says pregnancy looks good on me~

1/2

[loong]

2/2

[loong]

Is that so? Of course, he's not wrong.

[heartsteel]

[ phel absolutely losing it internally ]

you are SO fucking cute when you're pretending you're not jealous, i'm gonna kiss you stupid

and he's not wrong, i think i make a cute pregnant guy, personally 🥰

[loong]

What makes you think I'm jealous? Why should I care that your well-built attractive ex enjoys touching you and complimenting you?

Hmph.

After all, it is me you come home to.

[heartsteel]

firstly: excuse me?? tell me i'm cute

secondly, of course, darling, i have no idea what possibly could have led me to that conclusion 🤔

thirdly, you're absolutely right about who i come home to, and let me also remind you exactly whose babies these are~ no well-built ex is going to distract me from how devoted i am to my beautiful, wonderful, kind, brave, thoughtful husband ♡

[loong]

I tell you you're cute a hundred times a day, greedy moonchild. Of course you're cute.

.. now I am the one who is spoiled. My sweet Aphelios, I would be lost without you. I love you more than the breath in my lungs, thank you for enduring my.. jealousy. Know that I trust you fully.

[heartsteel]

i know you trust me, baby, don't worry! and yeah, i like to tease you because i think you're cute when you're riled up, but if it ever makes you really jealous or really insecure even for a second, please tell me okay?? and i'll cut it out. i just like to play with you, i love you so so much and i know you love me too
