Luc/Maggie- WTF AU

[liveforthemoment]

It was about 3 in the morning when a squawk like scream came from the bathroom of their flat that Lucian and Maggie had gotten. it even had a bedroom with no windows at all, up til that moment it was a perfect life they had made.

Maggie came out of the bathroom, the girl had no pants on what so ever and was sporting one of Luc's tee shirts. " Lucian!" panic and bewilderment was abound as she called for him holding a hand full of home tests. " Are you sure that you're type of vampires can't have children the traditional way?" This was fucked. Fucked to hell and back upside down and sideways.

Panic blossomed in his chest. It wasn't a sensation he had dealt with in more years than he could count. Straightening, his expression hardened, arms folded across his chest. Was she really talking about leaving ... about trust? What in the actual fuck was this??

"Maggie," he began in a tight tone, his fear making him harsh and sharp. "There isn't a fucking question of trust here. It didn't occur to me at any time that you've stepped out on our relationship. And if you're asking if I want you to leave then the answer is abso-fucking-lutely not." Still frowning, he scrubbed his hand through his hair again.

He hated her tears and hated that he might be the reason for them. But this whole thing went off the rails in a quick hurry. "Alright," he sighed. "Come on. We're going to restart this entire fucking conversation because this has gone to shit." Scooping her up before she could protest, he carried her bridal style over to a comfortable overstuffed chair that had seen many hours of the pair of them snuggling together.

Sitting down, he kept her in his arms and held close. "Okay. So you're pregnant and I'm the dad. Great. That's been established. No, I don't think you broke trust with me and I don't want you to leave. That has also been established. What next?"

Even though he didn't mean to sound harsh, it hit her poorly because of everything happening. Her head lowered and she just started crying harder. " I 'm...sorry." she said.

and Protest she would have done had he not scooped her up. It was oddly calming, and she laid her head against his chest.

" I don't know." she said trying not to tear up all over again. " I am scared, I don't know what to do, I don't know what is going to happen. I do know I love you so fucking much it is killing me that all of this is just...like it is.."

He kept her tucked in close, trying to be as soothing as he could manage despite the panic and uncertainty that was attempting to take over. "You don't have anything to apologize for. I fucked this up in every possible way." He brushed a kiss over her forehead. "Just do me a favor. Be gentle when you're telling the kid about this moment years from now."

While he tried to lighten the mood, his mind was racing. What did women do when they were pregnant? Fuck that. What did a witch do? And for a baby that was, somehow, half vampire? He didn't know the first damned place to start with any of this. And what kind of shitty start to father hood was that?

"We'll get this sorted out," he said quietly, as for for Maggie as for himself.

Shit, that's right. The thing they thought was an issue to be boggled over right now, would grow into a child. The thought was enough that she did stop crying and stared for a second.

" No, the whole situation is fucked up." she said calmly, bringing the heel of her hand up to swip at her face. She'd need to look into the lore books to see if there was any sort of recorded event like this before. Surely, she wasn't the unicorn in the witch world.

She could sense that he was just as rattled about everything as she was. She tilted her head and kissed him on the chin.

" Regardless, we've got this. You don't have to try and make any worry lines in that beautiful face."
