Hold Your Breath (And Listen Closely)

Summary:

Shen Yuan's mother once told him that children always came when the love between you and your partner because to much and was given psychical shape.
Shen Qingqiu never thought she had meant that literally.
(Or that it would apply to him!)

BingQiu Week 2019
Day 8
Prompt: Free Day

Notes:

Again late. This fic is also extremely short in comparison to the previous ones, but I wanted to make it short and sweet. The next part will be equally short, but don't be fooled! The fluff is there!
(Titles keep kicking my ass, send help!)

Chapter Text

If there was something Shen Qingqiu had been expecting, this certainly wasn't it.  

“Congratulations on your pregnancy!”  

On his what .  

He remained frozen even when Luo Binghe hugged him against his toned chest.  

Shizun ! Are we really going to have a baby? Oh, Shizun , this disciple is so happy!” His husband managed to say between sobs.  

Maybe don't say it like that, it sounded like they were having a secret affair.  

“S- Shizun ?” Luo Binghe’s voice snapped him out of his musings, his head turning mechanically towards his puppy of a husband. “I-Is Shizun not happy?” He seemed to tear even more, if that was possible.  

“I-I...” his mouth suddenly felt dry, and words eluded him.  

“Perhaps I should get going, please don't exert yourself too much, alright Shen- shixiong ?” And with that, Mu Quingfan basically fled his bamboo house.  

Shizun ?” Luo Binghe insisted after a moment.  

“I... am just a little surprised.” He admitted out loud, even though the only thing he really wanted to do was go and find Shang Qinghua.  

All of this was probably that little shit's fault.  

“A-Ah!” Luo Binghe exclaimed, a little too loudly, making Shen Qingqiu turn to look at him only to find him blushing like a maiden about to lose their virginity.  

“What is it?” Shen Qingqiu asked.  

“It's just... this disciple never thought he would be blessed with having children of his own. He had known since he was young that he would only love Shizun and.... well, this disciple wasn't aware Shizun could carry.”  

BITCH, ME NEITHER!  

Outwardly, Shen Qingqiu smiled softly at his husband. “This master did not think he would even have children of his own,” he admitted. When Shen Qingqiu had arrived to this world, he had thought that perhaps he would fine a lovely woman he would fall in love with and would eventually marry and have a family with. However, as time went by, Shen Qingqiu realized that maybe that would not be possible (taking in consideration the female population would most likely set their eyes on Binghe rather than him), and once he realized his feelings for the protagonist, he gave up the idea all together. Nonetheless, it had never bothered Shen Qingqiu , for he had also realized that his other disciples were like his own children (even if sometimes he felt entirely too young for that.) He and Binghe were happy, and that was all that mattered.  

But a child of their own...  

Shen Qingqiu did not think there was any kind of trope like that in PIDW, nor was there any male lover in Binghe's harem that would require... mpreg of all things. 

“Is Shizun angry?” Luo Binghe asked when Shen Qingqiu's silence became unbearable .  

“No.” And it was true, despite how frustrated he found this situation and the lack of knowledge he had did not help in the slight, Shen Qingqiu could honestly say that the idea of having a child with his husband was not completely unappealing.  

“Really!?” His puppy of a husband asked excitedly.    

“E-En.” He used his fan to hide the blush that was surely trying to take over his entire face.  

Shizun !” The man threw himself at Shen Qingqiu's lap to tearfully hug his middle, had shakily reaching towards his belly, and the barely noticeable bump.  

“Careful, Binghe !” Shen Qingqiu snapped when he was suddenly jostled.  

It looked like in six months he would have two babies to take care of instead of one.  

(Not that he really minded.)
