Balam x Pregnant Reader

Summary:

You and Balam Shichiro had only been married for about a month when you find out you were pregnant. Knowing full well that your husband’s skinship would multiply by 100 if he knew you were carrying his child. So that's why you try to keep the news about your condition long as you could, but a drunk Professor Blushenko had ruined your plans. Your husband, the man that is known for loving all living creatures, is now obsessed with your growing body.

Chapter Text

When your eyes crack open, you roll over and came face to face with the gargoyle of Babyls, who is also now your husband.
You sat up from your bed, making the blankets that cover your body slip down, revealing the hand that had a noteworthy ring attached to it. Staring at the diamond ring that encircled your finger, you couldn’t help but re-live the image of when Balam Shichiro got on one knee before popping the big question.
It happen when Balam had rented out a cozy cabin during Babyls’s winter break, so you guys could spend New Year's together. After you were done watching the Evidol Games while drinking a fine glass of wine. You remember how Balam turn off the Tv before he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small black box.

You already knew that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with Shichiro so you wanted to get married soon as possible to him.
Then on the last day of Babyls’s Spring break, you and Balam had a small wedding ceremony to which your coworkers and the kids from the misfit class were invited. Kalego gave out a great heartfelt speech during the toast because he wanted to show off just how perfect of a best man he is.

While you choose Morax Momonoki as your maid of honor, saying that you expect her to do the same thing at her’s and Kalego’s wedding. You still remember her blushing and embarrassed face when you told her that. When it was time to kiss the bride, Balam did what you never ask or expected him to do. He took off his metal mask and reveal his scary-looking fangs and scar that ran across his mouth to all of the guests who attended the wedding.
But since you had already seen his scarred face and large fangs, you didn’t care at all when Shichiro lean in for a kiss.

Barely a month had passed since you and Balam got married to each other. And now today is the day when you and all of the other teachers from Babyls are going to part take in the Heart Breaker Exams.
Staring again at the diamond ring that encircles your finger, you still couldn’t believe you’re now a married woman. And now since you are married, you wonder when you should talk to Balam about starting a family. You already know that Balam would be an amazing father, seeing how he cares and watches over Iruma and the other kids from the misfit class.
And since you are one of the few demons that know Iruma is really a human.
You watch in joy when your husband spends time with the human boy. Like when Balam gives Iruma private tutoring lessons for an upcoming test, or Balam gives Iruma routine checkups on his physical health. But the more Balam plays and talks to Iruma, the more you can see in his eyes that he urges for a family of his own.

But the problem wasn’t because you didn’t want to become a mother, you do want to experience the ups and downs of raising children. You and Shichiro do have the time, money, and resources to raise your kids in a loving and safe environment. The problem was you didn’t like the idea of getting pregnant and having your back watch 24/7. Knowing your husband, Shichiro’s skinship and overprotectiveness would get multiplied by a hundred if he ever finds out you're carrying his child. And the timing isn’t perfect right now, due to the multiple cases of high-ranking demons going missing recently. But if you become pregnant as a rank Chet demon, Shichiro would escort you everywhere you go, including places like the supermarket or any safe places you have to run errands too. So that is why you were in no rush of popping out a kid.

But the image of what you and Shichiro’s future kid would look like made you go into a dream-like state, not noticing that your husband has woken up as well.
“Morning, (Name)” Shichiro greeted, making you come back to reality.
“Good morning dearrr…” You quickly hop up from your side of the nest-shaped bed when you suddenly felt sick to your stomach.

Before Shichiro got the chance to ask if you were alright, he could already hear gagging from the bathroom. Shichiro quickly enters the bathroom, where he found his wife, crouched down in front of the toilet while throwing up.

“Name!” He hurried to his wife's side and stroke your back as you continued to empty your stomach. “Did you eat anything strange?”Shichiro asked while stroking your back gently.
“I..I don’t know, maybe I just got a case of food poisoning.” You said as the sick feeling suddenly stopped. You then flushed the toilet before splashing your face with cool water.

“Do you have a fever?”Shichiro asked before checking if his wife’s forehead was warm or not.
“I’m fine once I get my daily dose of caffeine.” You reassured him.
You then headed to the kitchen and grab multiple cans of coffee and began chugging and emptying them in one sip. “Maybe you should stay home and rest today,” Shichiro suggested after you drink your 3rd can of coffee. “

“No way, I’ve been waiting all week for the Heart Breaker Exams.”You responded before opening your 5th can of coffee.
“I don’t think it would be a good idea for a non-healthy demon to be involved in stressful situations,” He reasoned which made you roll your eyes at your husband’s overprotectiveness.
“Shichiro, I’m ranked Chet, one of the 3 highest rank teachers of Babyls, meaning that I’m on the same level as you and Kalego. I’m 100% sure I can handle fighting a few high schoolers.” You declare before opening up your 6th can of coffee,
“But.”
“No buts, I’m not letting a little food poisoning stop me from taking part in the Heart Breaker Exams. I’m participating along with you and Kalego as the 3 big bosses and there is nothing you can do about it,” You stated after drinking and throwing away your 8th can of coffee.
After you and Balam got properly dressed for work, you and your husband head to the school.

(Read chapters 261-267 of the manga to understand the events that are happening in this fanfic. Or go to the next page for this fanfic if you don’t want any spoilers)

You couldn’t believe what was happening, one thing you were aiming your magic at the demon who attempted to kidnap Iruma. While the rest of the teachers who were currently present blocked the traitor from escaping. And now one of the former members of the 13 Crowns just fell through the ceiling.. The tall, and powerful music-loving demon then releases a loud ear bleeding sound attack which easily subdues all of the teachers.
“Gong…Equivocal!”
Poro then picks up the traitor and untucks his large wings from his back before flying away with the injured spider-like demon in between his arms.
But even after the sound attack that the former member of the 13 Crowns used had stopped, you had a sudden urge to throw up again.
“Oh god, I’m going to be sick.” You mutter to yourself, wanting to hold back your vomit just a little bit longer since the Heart Breaker Exams only have 30 seconds left.
“Professor (Name) are you alright, you're not looking so good?” Momonoki asked, not paying attention to the last target.

You only nodded before preparing your magic in order to pop the last balloon that was tied onto Sabnock’s little sister.
“There are still 13 seconds until the exam is over, we can still pop team Alice’s balloon-” You said before the worst wave of sickness hit you. You didn’t get the chance to fully cast your spell when your legs suddenly gave out while your body felt extremely dizzy. Like if you just ride the largest roller coaster at Walter Park over 100 times. Not wanting to consume your own vomit, you threw up while a battle between Alice and Dali was taking place, not caring who was watching the embarrassing moment.

You then could hear a loud gong going off, which means the Heart Breaker Exams had finally ended. Seeing that there was one balloon left, you then gave Alice’s team a thumbs-up.

“G-great job kids,” You panted out before you continue vomiting in the middle of the school’s hallway.

Chapter 2: I'm What?

Chapter Text

You try to walk to the area where they were showing the results of the Heart Breaker Exams but Professor Buer drags your sick ass to the nurse’s office instead.

You try to tell Professor Buer that you're alright and you only have a bad case of food poisoning but he insisted that you should just let him perform a quick check-up on you. When you walked into the nurse’s office, you saw Sabnock Sabro eating fruit from Caim Kamui’s gift basket, while the sleeping owl-like demon didn’t notice. “Oh no, did I really punch my dear teacher too hard to the point that you must be hospitalized?” Sabnock asked in a slight worry tone while looking at your stomach.
“You wish Blondy, this guy forced me to come here for a little food poisoning.” You said while pointing at the annoyed professor.
Buer then wacks the top of your head with his clipboard. “I swear, sometimes I mistake you for a student for just how much you act like a teenager.”

 

After Buer was done performing a standard medical evaluation on you, he then told you to wait in one of the beds in the nurse’s office until he came back with your results.
And now you were currently laying in bed while watching a live broadcast of the Heart Breaker results from the small screen of your phone. You were currently on your 22nd can of coffee since you made sure the nurse's office’s fridge is always stocked with your favorite beverage. When Buer came back with your test results, his demeanor felt different.
“Give it to me straight doctor, how much time do I have left?” You jokily asked before you open your 23rd can of coffee today.

Buer then uses magic to make your freshly open can of coffee disappear and reappear in his hand. Glaring at the long-nose professor, you then use the same spell that Buer uses in order to make the canned beverage reappear in your hand.
“Professor(Name), I highly suggest staying away from these types of drinks in your current condition for a while,” Buer stated, making the canned reappear in his hand again.

“I have been drinking over 66 cans of coffee every single day, ever since my first year of attending Babyls, and they hadn’t killed me yet. “ You retorted before making the canned appear in your hand once again.
You only continue to drink your beverage while your coworker was talking.
“Some mother you're going to be, putting coffee over your baby’s health,” Buer stated with a heavy sigh.
Your eyes shot wide open before subconsciously spitting out all of the contents from your mouth.

Buer then handed you a glass of water when you started having a coughing fit.

“Oh, haha, that’s a really funny joke, you almost had me fool there.” You said to Professor Buer but mostly to yourself, not believing what he was implying.
“I’m not joking Professor(Name), you really are pregnant.”
The nurse’s office was filled with silence when Buer confirm the unexpected news.
Sabnock got out of his bed and gave you a big hug while apologizing to you profusely.
“(Name)-sensei, I am so sorry for injuring you and my master’s future offspring. I would never aim at that area if I knew your condition. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make it up for you.”

You then hugged Sabnock back, remembering the past event of your last encounter with the blond head demon during the exam.
You corner the boy which made an intense dual break out between the both of you. You were Of course holding back from going all out against the ambitious young demon, but you had slightly underestimated Sabnock’s power. That was how he managed to nail a good punch right in the middle of your gut before escaping with his 2 freshmen.
“It’s not your fault Sabnock, if I knew I was pregnant then I would never part take in the exams.” You said while comforting the worried child.

“This is wonderful news, 2 of the strongest teachers in Babyls are having a baby. I can just imagine how much of a worthy rival they would be in the future. Or maybe I can become their master, it’s only fitting that I’m the one who mentors Master Balam’s children.”
Your eyes widen slightly when Sabnock says ‘children’ meaning taking care of more than 1 child.
When you were imagining you and your husband taking care of multiple kids, it took you a while to notice that Professor Buer was trying to get your attention again.

“Would you like to see your child, I may not be skilled as my mother but I know a little screening magic.” Buer offers and you gladly accepted the chance to look at your baby for the first time. You were currently laying flat on your back and rolled up your shirt just like Buer asked you to do. He then hovers his hand inches away from your stomach before casting a verbal spell.

A small black screen appeared next to you that showcases a tiny blob. “Guessing by the fetus size you are about 8 to 9 weeks along into your pregnancy.” Buer then pour more magic into the spell so you could hear the sound of the steady heartbeat of your baby.” Tears started to well up from your eyes as you stared at the screen. “I really have another life growing inside of me,’ you managed to say, with your voice cracking.

“Like I knew that already, but watching this hits me a different way. How is my little nugget doing?” You asked which made your heart beat faster all of a sudden.
Buer then observes and examines the blob closely as sweat forms on his forehead.
Due to the Heart Breaker Exams, Professor Buer’s magic supply was already low but he manage to pull through long enough to make a decent report.

“Even if you took a direct hit to your stomach while drinking an ungodly amount of caffeine. Your baby’s heartbeat and everything else seems perfectly fine. But since I’m not a professional in maternity care, I highly suggest you go to a doctor who specializes in that type of medical field,” Buer stated while wiping his sweat away.

You thanked the professor before you immediately pulled your shirt back down when you hear multiple footsteps that sounded like they were heading to the nurse’s office.
Everyone in the nurse’s office turns their attention to the room's main entrance after the entire misfit class walks into the large room.

“Caim-Kun! Sabnock! (Name)-sensei! ” Everyone from the misfit class calls out at once.
“Hello, fellow classmates!” The blond demon greeted the new incomers.
“Hi, children!” You greeted your students with a warm smile.
“Are you guys okay?” Clara asked.
Sabnock nodded “Master Balam and Professor Blushenko patched me up pretty good, I’m almost completely healed.”
Clara then turns her attention to you.
“And how about you Teacher-sensei, you were puking a lot during the last 30 seconds of the exam,” Clara stated, which made you cringe at the mental image of you hunching back while puking your guts out.
“How much did the broadcast feature me vomiting both my breakfast and lunch in the middle of the hallway?” You ask, hoping they completely cut you out.
Iruma began scratching his head nervously.

“Well since you were in the background of the only surviving team of the exam. Everyone witnessed when Professor Blushenko pretty much drags you to the nurse’s office.” Iruma answered hesitantly.

“So basically every teacher and student of Babyls saw me throwing up in the middle of a fight.” You stated which made the entire misfit class, including Sabnock nod their head in approval. You then hide under your bed sheet covers.
“This is literally the most embarrassing day of my entire life, now everyone’s going to think I'm a demon with a weak-ass stomach. No one will look up or respect me ever again.” You said while still hiding under the covers.

“Don’t worry (Name)-sensei, once everyone finds out about your condition I’m sure no one would think less of you?” Before you could explain what Sabnock meant when he said ‘Your condition’ the entire misfit class huddled around your bed while bombarding you with questions.
Not like being the center of attention, you came up with a plan to get your students off your back.
“Wow Alice, you got promoted to rank 5.” You said while pointing at his badge.
As you had expected, Sabnock got everyone’s attention when he complain that he had fallen behind one of his best rivals.

Which got the entire class ranting about just how scary and strong the Babyls’ teacher staff can be.
At first, you thought you were safe by your student's questions about your health, but that was until someone asked about the baby-looking freshmen that were laying on Sabnock’s bed.
“They are not my kids, Professor(Name) is the one who is having a kid-.” You then threw an Apple into Sabnock’s mouth so you could stop him from speaking. You then turn your attention to your student’s blank facial expressions, hoping that your students misheard what their injured classmate had just revealed to them.
Silence falls in the spacious nurse’s office before Iruma wraps his arms around your shoulders.
“Congratulations, you and Balam-sensei will be great parents,” Iruma said while hugging you.
“Congratulations.” Elizabetta congratulated you with a smile.
“Congratulations” Garp congratulated you cheerfully before pumping his fist up.
“Congratulations indeed.” Allocer congratulated you.
“Congratulations.” Caim manage to stutter out before he went back to sleep.
“C-Congratulations.” both Crocell and Purson congratulated you in a whisper.
“Man sensei, it hadn’t even been a month before you got married and now you’re already having a baby. Either way, Congratulation on the kid.” Jazz congratulated you with a slight smirk.
“Congratulations, teacher-sensei!” Clara congratulated you before trying to jump on top of your bed.
Alice then grabs Clara by the collar of her uniform.

“Clara has anyone ever told you not to jump on a pregnant woman.”Alice scolded the green hair demon before he held both of your hands.
“As the wife and the carrier of my master's future child, I, Asmodeus Alice; the only son from the Asmodeus family and ranked 5, have sworn my life over to protect you and your unborn child,” Alice said while bowing.
You only chuckle lightly at the pink-haired boy’s actions, before lightly chopping your hand across his head.
“I'm perfectly cable of taking care of my baby and I, don’t forget that I’m rank 8, the same rank as my husband and Kalego. But thank you for the offer?”

“Then I shall just watch you from the sidelines, but for now congratulations for bringing new life into this world. Alice congratulated you, while still bowing his head.
“Thank you for the congratulations but can you guys keep this news between us.” You requested while putting one finger up to your lips.

“But (Name)-sensei, I’m sure your husband would be over the mood to know that he is going to be a father,” Alice stated which made his classmates nod in agreement.
“That’s the problem, I love my husband to death but you know how he can get around living creatures. Well just imagine how much his skinship would multiply if he finds out his beloved wife is now pregnant with his child. Plus I don’t want to put more stress on him after we just discover a traitor within Babyls. ” You explain, making the misfit class nod their head in understanding.

You then turn in the direction of the Professor who informs you about your condition.
“Professor Buer, please keep the information about my pregnancy to no one but yourself,” You requested, which made your coworker nod his head.
In perfect timing, your husband had entered the room in a panic state and had rushed to your bedside.

“(Name)! I’m so sorry I didn’t come here sooner, I saw everything that happen during the Exam. Are you alright? Did that traitor hurt you, are you really that sick? Do you want me to make you a cup of hell-grade tea?” Balam asked in one big breath while rubbing your cheek against his cheek.

Clara began to giggle at the scene, the big scary-looking teacher was being a cute doting husband to his high-ranking wife. “Big teacher-sensei, I think you would make a great papa-”
Alice quickly covered the female demon’s mouth, not wanting her to spill the beans to the only demon that they actually need to keep the secret from.
“Why thank you, Clara, I hope sooner or later me and (Name) can start a family together?” Balam responded, not truly thinking about the random comment the green-haired demon made.

“Hey Professor Balam, how many kids do you want?” Lied asked cheekily, making you and Alice glare at him. Professor Balam then turn his body the other way around so he didn’t have to face anyone’s awaiting gaze. The white-haired demon began playing with his fingers while blushing slightly.
“Well since I was an only child for my entire life, I always dream of having a big family of my very own. So around 3 to 4 kids, 5 if I’m pushing it.” He admitted which made you blush a deep shade of red.
“Oh my, that is really asking for a lot from your wife, being pregnant that many times isn’t exactly a walk in the park,” Elizabetta said cutely after winking at you.

“That’s why I’ll be happy enough if I get to raise at least one child in my lifetime. I don’t care about the gender and they don't even have to be blood-related to me because I would love them the same way.” Hearing those words coming out of your husband’s mouth, you almost gave in by telling him the wonderful news. Almost.

Chapter 3: Party Time

Chapter Text

A week had passed since the Heart Breaker exams and now you and your husband are getting ready for the drinking party that Babyls teaching staff decided to host.
“(Name) you've been puking all week, are you sure it’s a great idea to attend this party?”Shichiro questioned, making you come up with an excuse that wouldn’t make his buzzer go off.
“It’s not a big deal, I’m sure I’ll be able to hold down at least a couple of pieces of fry chicken.”You responded, mentally crossing your fingers that your husband wouldn’t ask more questions.
He only sighs. “Alright if you say so.”
Once Shichiro closes the house’s main door, you open up your wings and started flying with a head start.

“Race you?” You shouted from behind while giggling.
Balam only chuckles under his mask before releasing his wings and following you.
Balam was the first one to reach the ground of the ‘Brawl Inn first’, while you stable yourself with your hands on your knee as you try to catch your breath.
“Damn it, the kid is already absorbing too much of my stamina. I’m usually the faster flyer out of the 2 of us.” You mentally curse yourself while still panting out of breath.
“I guess I’ve gotten lazy.”That was all you said before entering the Brawl Inn.

“Everything looks so tasty,” Robin said while scanning all of the food that was on the table.
“Be sure to still eat your vegetables, yes yes.”Professor Suzy reminded everyone.
“There they are, Babyls’s power couple.” Professor Robin declares when he notices the 2 demons walking in.
Your husband was the first one to speak out of the 2 of you.
“Hello, hoped we didn’t arrive too late.”
“Your right on time, we just order a lot of food,” Robin said while leading Balam to his seat.

You were just about to take a seat with your husband when you heard a familiar purple-hair demon’s voice.
“By the way Professor (Name) I hope you reframe from drinking for the sake of you and Balam’s spawns,” Kalego remarked before sipping his glass of wine gracefully.

“How do you know that?”You demanded quietly, not wanting to cause a scene.
“Cerberion had detected more than one heartbeat coming from you, so either you have been consuming living creatures for quite some time or you might be pregnant with the gargoyle’s kid. And judging by your reaction, I’m assuming it’s the ladder.” He stated without making eye contact, finding more enjoyment in his glass of wine than you.
You only nodded your head, signaling that he was right. “Please don’t tell my husband, you know how he can get around living creatures.”
Before you were about to take a seat next to your husband, you could hear a quiet ‘Congratulations’ come from the usually cold and stoic demon.

The night went on without a hitch, everyone was drinking laughing, and overall had a great time.
You were currently sharing a glass of juice with Orias Oswell since both of you guys can’t drink.
“Normally I don’t attend an event that mostly involves alcohol drinking but I’ll make an exception.” Orias Oswell stated before sipping his juice.
“Yeah, call us kids, but who really needs alcohol to enjoy yourself? Pour me another glass.”You demanded with your glass cup raised up.

“With pleasure.” The purple-suited demon responded before pouring you another glass of juice.
While you were enjoying your refreshing beverage, you notice the young green-haired demon trying to get your attention.
“Professor(Name) how did you and Professor Balam meet.” Robin ask, making everyone who knew the story suddenly burst out laughing.
“Oh my god Robin, it’s the most funniest and crazy love story I have ever heard.” Dali-sensei stated with a slight tint of pink on his face.
“You really want to know?” You asked the young teacher with a raised eyebrow.
He only nodded his head aggressively. “Yes, please tell me.”
You then clear your throat before retelling the story of how you met your now husband.

“This was when Kalego, Balam, and I were only first years while attending Babyls. I met the duo of Balam and Kalego by planning a secret ambush attack against Kalego during school. By using the element of surprise, It was easy to restrain Kalego with Chain magic while using my bloodline magic ‘Lock up’ to remove his magical abilities. Kalego couldn’t escape from my Chain Magic since he mostly relies on his magic rather than his brute strength to win a fight.” You stopped talking when Robin-sensei raise his hand.
“Why did you attack Kalego-kun, I know he can be a grumpy pants a lot but why did you attack him out of nowhere.” The grumpy pants then squeeze the top of Robin-sensei’s head.

You then continue with the story.
“ The reason why I attacked Kalego was because a gang of boys tricked me into believing that Kalego take secret pictures of me and other girls in the locker room.

At the time, I didn’t know that Kalego was innocent. So I just stood there and watch Kalego get the living shit beat out of him, thinking that he is only a pervert who is getting what he deserves. But then Balam stepped in to help his fallen comrade by completely shattering my arm. Before a fight between me and Balam could break out, multiple arousing pictures of female students which included me fell out of one of Kalego’s attacker’s pockets. Knowing who the true guilty party was, I teamed up with Balam and Kalego in order to give the gang of liars and perverts true hell. After Balam draw a droopy demon dog on my cast, to show me how sorry he was for putting me in one. I then started to hang out with Balam and Kalego until graduation day.”

“Professor Balam, what was your and (Name) relationship like during your Babyls years?” Robin ask.

“At first, I was confused when someone cool and popular as (Name) would hang out with someone like me. Since most of my classmates would treat me like an outcast for either my appearance or for reading picture books about imaginary creatures all day. Even if I shatter her arm, (Name) was one of the few demons who treated me with some type of kindness.” Balam answer.

“Wow, Professor Balam, you and Professor (Name) go way back. But why didn’t you confess to her back then, it seems like you both mutually like each other.” Robin stated with a tilted head.
A light tint of pink dusted Balam’s cheek before answering in a quieter tone.
“Well after the first few weeks of eating together during lunch break with (Name), I thought it was only a little crush. Since (Name) was also the only girl who was willing to interact with me and the fact I was going through puberty didn’t help. But that all changed during our year’s Harvest Festival.”

“Don’t tell that story, it’s so embarrassing on my end.” You said while waving your hands, signaling him not to continue.
“No, you guys never mention this part of your guys' love story before. Now we’re dying to know what happen during the Harvest Festival, did you guys hook up behind a bush or something spicy like that?” Raim asks, making you cough up your drink.

“We weren’t even partners during the event. On the first day of the Harvest Festival, some asshole from a different class cheated by injecting Shichiro with a drug that temporarily paralyze someone from the waist down. Luckily I witness the whole event at my hiding spot so I save Shichiro’s sorry ass just in time before he got mauled by a pack of demon wolfs that were eyeing him. ”You said hastily.
Robin-sensei only shot his hand up.

“But didn’t Professor Balam win your guy's Harvest Festival? How did he become the ‘Young King’ if he got paralyzed during most of the event?”

Your husband then spoke up again.

“That’s because (Name) basically became my bodyguard and caregiver. She refuse to let me forfeit from the event, and despite my protests, she took it upon herself to carry the both of us to victory. Since I couldn’t walk, she carried me on her back while fighting the dangerous animals that litter the forest. While I use my knowledge of magical plants, we both manage to gather enough points without harming too many animals. But on the 4th day of the Harvest Festival, I suddenly run a high fever which I was totally useless to (Name). Since I could barely form a single sentence. But,”
The Teachers move closer to Balam, even more intrigue to the story.

Chapter 4: Traitors!

Chapter Text

All the teachers then move an inch closer to the Gargoyle.
“But instead of abandoning me who was obviously a complete burden, she didn’t. (Name) didn’t leave the cave where we took shelter during the first night of the Harvest Festival while she nursed me back to health. She changed my washcloth, she cooked an easy-to-digest meal, and she gather all sources of different types of herbs to make me medicine. But the part I remember clearly the most to this day, was when she let me use her legs as a pillow. At that moment I truly thought I was dreaming, but I knew it wasn’t a dream. I knew at that moment, I had fallen truly in love with (Name). Then on the last day of the Harvest Festival. I finally regain my ability to walk so we went on our separate ways while splitting the points we gather during our temporary alliance.

Little that I know, she turn in all of the points we had collected together under my name. Before hunting and beating the living shit out of the demon who had drug me. Which got her completely eliminated from the contest. After I was awarded the ‘Young King’ title, I try to share the spotlight with (Name) but I couldn’t find her anywhere in the crowd. Most likely hiding away from me, knowing I would give her the crown and the title of the “Young King’ in my place.” Balam explains, not noticing the small sniffles that were coming from some of the teachers.

“That’s so beautiful, what a display of true love!” Momonoki said while covering her mouth with her hand. Wishing it were her and Kalego in that situation, either her taking care of Kalego or the other way around.

“What a moving story,” Dali commented.
“So heartwarming, yes yes,” Sazy said sweetly.
“Young love, how adorable,” Raim said while grinning.
“If I was in your shoes, I would go a step farer and torture the cheating bastard.” Marbas declare a little too calmly for your liking.
“You’re so noble, giving up the chance to be the ‘Young King’ in order to avenge your lover,” Buer stated before crying into his sleeve.

“He wasn’t my lover at the time, and besides he could have still won with all of his vast knowledge about plans and biology. I was only the legs and power during our alliance .” You corrected the emotionally drunk demon.
“But you killed multiple creatures worth over 1000 points while carrying me on your back.” Balam reminded you, .

“That’s because you were a little pipsqueak back then, you barely weigh like 3 whole grapes to me. “ You retorted.
“Wow, Professor (Name) you are so cool and strong, during my year’s harvest Festival even I struggled a little bit to take down a 1000-pointer. Even if my bloodline magic is perfect for hunting, you still manage to take down strong magical beasts while carrying someone at the same time.” Robin said with stars beaming in his eyes.

“It’s not that impressive. Either way, I never regretted my past actions. After spending so much time in nature with a great tour guide on my back. I grew to appreciate watching and observing living organisms from afar.
So after I graduated from Babyls, I became a rather popular wildlife photographer across the Netherworld,” You said, which made Professor Robin raise his hand again.

“Did you always want to be a teacher?”

You hum for a second before answering the young teacher’s question.

“Not really, but before I was about to leave for a 6 month-long trip, Lord Sullivan had personally requested me to become a teacher at Babyls. So I made the choice of retiring from the life of traveling around the world in order to teach the next generation of demons.” You answered before the young teacher started talking again.

“Let me guess, let me guess. And that’s when you and Professor Balam rekindle your old feelings for each other.” Robin asked while bouncing up and down.
You snap and pointed your long fingernails at the green-haired demon.

“Bingo, In my third year of teaching at Babyls, Balam cut his hair out of nowhere and confess his long-term feelings to me.
Saying that he had always regretted he didn’t tell me on graduation day, but a certain blue hair boy had inspired him to take a chance to proclaim his love to me.
On that day I wonder how I could be so oblivious of Balam's true feelings.

The extra skinship he gives me, the late nights in his office where we just talk about random stuff. And the fact he lets me hide in the nest that’s in his office so I could escape from a grumpy Kalego.” You said after taking a seat next to Oswell, who refills your empty glass with more juice.

“You went from enemies to buddies, to a married couple. That would be a great story to tell your future children.” Robin noted, making a certain drunk demon pipe up.
Thinking that Professor Blushenko was going to have another drunken rant about his students, you didn’t pay any mind to him.

“They don’t have to wait too long to tell that story,” Blushenko remarked drunkenly, which got all of the teachers, especially Balam’s undivided attention.

“What do you mean Professor Blushenko? Who would they tell their story to?” Robin was the first one to ask.
“Shhhh! It’s a secret?” The demon raises a shaky finger up to his mouth.

Professor Buer’s defiance only made Balam more suspicious of the heavily drunk demon, is there something he knows that he doesn’t know?
While Balam was completing if he should take advantage of the demon’s drunken state, Professor Robin did for him.

“But we are your coworkers, you can trust us with anything. Isn’t that right you guys?” Robin asked, making all of the teachers nod their heads in agreement.
“A-light, b-but you can’t tell P-Professor B-Balna.” Now everyone's but mostly Professor Balam’s eyes were now focused on Professor Blushenko.
“(NAME) IS PREGNANT!”

The room was filled with silence at the moment Buer announced the unexpected news.
Your eyes widened in shock after the drunken professor had just revealed to all your coworkers, which sadly included your husband about your pregnancy.
The loud slurps from your glass were the only sounds that could be heard across the room
You continue sucking your beverage to the point where there was nothing but ice in your glass as everyone continues to stare at you.

You began laughing awkwardly.
“P-Professor Buer, you shouldn’t joke about these things.” You said as you stirred the ice around your cup nervously.
“But I’m not joking, you're like 10 to 11 weeks along into your pregnancy by now. Do you want me to show you your developing baby again?” Buer asked as he try to stumble in your direction?”

With a small flick from your wrist, chains appear out of nowhere, and quickly wrapped the demon head to toe with chains.
“You drunk snitch.” You spat out after knocking Professor Buer out cold with a single karate chop across his head.

Sensing a tense aura from behind, you turn around to face your shaking husband.
“(Name), Was Professor Blushenko's saying about you being pregnant true ?” Balam questioned while standing only inches away from your face.
“Um, surprise, …” You mutter with a small blush.
“ I’m going to be a dad?” Balam asked in a cracked voice and you nodded.
“Dear, are you alright? Your husband was frozen as a statue, not moving a single inch. So you poke his metal mask that covered his cheek to get his attention.

He fell to the ground with a large thud. So many emotions were rushing through Balam’s head, first, it was happiness; of learning he was going to be a father. Next, it was anger; from not realizing the signs sooner, the morning sickness, and your sudden cup size increase. And finally disappointment; about why he wasn’t informed about the wonderful news sooner.

Looking down at your husband’s laying form, you saw small tears running down his face,
Balam then picks himself up.
“I’m so sorry for causing a scene, I’m just overwhelmed by the news.” He said before picking you up and spinning you around in his arms.
Balam’s body suddenly stops spinning, before he gently lays you back down onto your feet. Like if you were made out of porcelain glass that could break at any given time.

The couple was then engulfed by their exciting and talkative coworkers.
“Congratulations Professor (Name), judging how you took care of Balam in his time of need, you will be a wonderful mother,” Momonoki said while giving you a side hug.
“Congratulations on the baby (Name), yes yes.” Suzy said with you with both of her hands clapping together.
“Congratulations (Name)-Sama, so were you guys trying!” Raim asked with a devilish smirk, making your cheeks flush with a light shade of red.
“Well-um, it’s not like we use any type of protection spells since it’s very hard and takes a long time for demons to conceive a child. But-uh, it’s not like I was planning to get pregnant as a newlywed woman, but both my husband and I are still excited to welcome a new little demon into this world.” You manage to stutter out and wonder why your coworker would ask you such a personal question.

“Congratulations Balam on the kid,” Dali said with an arm slung around the much bigger demon’s shoulder.
“I’m jealous man, not only do you have a beautiful wife but now a kid on the way as well,” Oswell said before playfully slapping Balam’s back.
“Congratulations Professor (Name), you and Balam’s child are going to be so cute,” Robin said while hugging you. He then turn to the only demon in the room who wasn’t congratulating the expecting couple.
“Hey, Kalego-Kun aren’t you going to congregate your buddies on the kid?” Robin asked as he continue to hug you.

“Already did when they got here,” Was all Kalego said while sipping his now half-empty glass of wine?
You only click your tongue.
“It turns out this bastard knew before all of us.” You stated while pointing an accusing finger at Kalego.
The stoic demon only shrugged.
“It’s not my fault Cerberion could sense multiple heartbeats from you. And as I said earlier, I wasn’t 100% sure if you were really pregnant during the Heart Breaker Exam.” He retorted.

Robin gasp loudly with both of his hands covering his mouth.
“But didn’t Sabnock land a direct hit to your stomach?” Robin questioned, remembering that event he witnessed from the live broadcast.
The room suddenly became tense at the young teacher’s statement.
“(Name) please tell me our little nugget is alright?” Balam demanded with worry lace all over his voice, already becoming attached to the little demon that was currently growing inside your stomach.
You began patting your husband's head comfortingly.
“Don’t worry dear, I went to a doctor that specializes in demon development like Professor Buer had suggested and the Doc said everything was going smoothly.” You reassure your panicking husband, not caring he was rubbing his head against your stomach.

You then glance at the clock that was hanging above the room’s entrance.
“Time flies when you're having fun, I think it’s time for us to go-.”
Balam then picks you up from underneath your feet and started carrying you bridal style out of the building.
At first, you were confused by your husband’s actions, until Balam released his large feather wings.
“Damn it Shichiro, I’m perfectly capable of flying back home.” You stated as you escaped from Balam’s grasp.

“Pregnant demons shouldn’t exert themselves too much.” Was all he said as he ready his wings for take off.
You mouth out a ‘Help me’ to your coworkers but they all turn their backs against you, not wanting to get involved with your over-protection husband.
“Traitors!” You yelled at them before flying away in your husband’s arms.

Chapter 5: How many kids am I having?

Chapter Text

During half of the flight, another wave of nausea hit you, which made you signal to your husband that you want to be put down. Once his claw feet landed on the ground, you ran to the nearest bush and began puking once again. “You alright.” He asked.
“What do you think!” You snapped your head in your husband’s direction.
“I’m sorry for asking.” Balam apologizes with his head lowered down in shame.
“Don’t apologize. It's just why can’t you lay an egg instead of me going through this bullshit.” You whined before continuing to vomit.

“Sorry dear, even for my kind that’s not how it works. My mother gave birth to me just like any other demon mother would.” Balam explained rather awkwardly.
“You better love this baby with all of your heart because I never want to get pregnant ever again-”
You stopped talking when you heard a familiar calm, yet chilling voice.

“And who do we have here?”
From the light that radiates from the demon’s lantern, you could see the silhouette of cat ears and a tail.
“You got to be fucking kidding me.” You curse.

“ Mr. and Mrs. Balam, what an unexpecting time to see you here in Lord Sullivan’s courtyard,” Opera stated rather calmly.
“Fuck, I knew this place looked familiar. I just trespass and threw up on my goddamn boss’s fucking property. This is literally the end of my teaching career, and now I have to worry about how I’m going to support my baby.” You said with both of your hands gripping your head.
Opera’s eyes perk up at the word ‘Baby.’
“Mrs. Balam, are you-”

“Pregnant!” Lord Sullivan finishes Opera’s question.
You wiped away the vomit from your mouth, before nodding your head at the tall and lengthy demon.

“I see.” Lord Sullivan then turns into his short egg form.
“That’s wonderful news, Babyls’s strongest couple is starting a family. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Opera get a pot of tea ready for our guests.” Lord Sullivan commanded.
“Lord Sullivan that is really not necessary, we already intruded enough-” You covered your mouth and rush to the same area you were puking from earlier.
Without any protest, you let the cat demon servant lead you inside the building while your husband follows you from behind.

After you enter the nice home, you, Balam and Lord Sullivan took a seat on a very soft and plush couch.
Opera handed you a cup of Hell Grade tea and 2 pills, saying it was supposed to help with nausea. You gladly consume the pills before washing them down with your drink.

“First off, congratulation Mr. and Mrs. Balam. But now we need to discuss urgent things.” Sullivan stated blankly, making the room suddenly shifts the mood.
Both you and your husband gulp, not use to seeing the happy and carefree chair-demon in being so serious.

“Due to the fact that a lot of high-ranking demons have been going missing lately and the recent kidnapped attempt for my precious grandson has made me start to worry. Not just for my grandson’s safety but for the 3 highest rank demons of Babyls as well. Where now 1 out of the 3 of them is pregnant. ” Sullivan stated.

“Don’t worry, we will be able to protect Iruma with all our power.” You declare, since you know Iruma wasn’t like other demons. Because he wasn’t a demon, he was human, a creature with no wings, and is much physically less strong than an average demon.
“I’m sure your husband would be able to. It’s your and Iruma’s safety that I’m worried about. I think you know pretty well what happens when a demon becomes pregnant.” Sullivan then waited for your response.

“The baby absorbed a lot of their mother’s magic reserves, making the pregnant demon much weaker and vulnerable in the process.” Your Husband answers for you.

“Correct, and just imagine how much magic you lose at triple the rate.”
Both you and Balam only turn heads in confusion at Sullivan’s statement, what did he mean by ‘triple the rate.’
“Why would I lose triple the amount of my magic with just one baby.” You asked, with small sweat drops running down your face.
“Wait you don’t know, there are currently 3 babies inside there.” Lord Sullivan then pointed at your stomach.

“Triplets,” Balam whispers while grinning under his mask. He couldn’t be anymore happier, first he just finds out he is going to be a father. And now he’s getting his dream of starting a big family.

You only laugh with a slightly twitching eye.
“That’s impossible, I just went to the doctor yesterday and I’m pretty sure I’m having one and only one kid!” You only hold up a finger.
“I am not wrong Professor(Name) there is a life-detecting spell cast around my property.
It detected 5 lives, but once Opera came outside to see who had the great idea of intruding into my estate. It was also a shock for both of us to see only you and Professor Balam. Meaning the other 3 lives that the spell had detected must be in your stomach”
“Maybe small animals had triggered the spell by mistake.” You reasoned.

“That could be possible, would you like me to check?” The Chair demon offered and you nodded.
Without even needing to ask to lift up your shirt, Lord Sullivan cast a spell on your stomach with ease. A screen pops up next to you but with a clearer and better image than when Professor Buer performed the spell.
“It looks like the same image as the one I saw at the doctor's.” You commented while signing in relief.
“Wait for it!” Sullivan said as he closely watches the screen
“There!” Lord Sullivan pauses the screen and pointed to 2 barely noticeable blobs.
“Since you are still early along in your pregnancy, it was very difficult to detect the other 2 babies with regular medical equipment.” After Lord Sullivan confirms that yes, you are carrying triplets you had almost passed out.
Now come to think of it, you did recall Kalego uses the plural version of ‘Spawn.’

“Anyway back to business.” The room suddenly became tense when Lord Sullivan spoke again.

“Like I said from earlier, since you will be losing triple the amount of your magic reserves. As the Chair Demon and principal of Babyls, I’m going to issue a new rule where you must have 1 to 2 teachers around you at all times.” He declares.

“Lord Sullivan thank you for the consideration but being a Rank Chet demon, I am perfectly fine taking care of myself.” You protested.
“I wasn’t asking, you’re going to have someone from Babyls follow your every step until you go into labor.” Sullivan declares without flinching.
“And if I refuse?” You challenge with cross arms.
“I will put you on temporary unpay leave until further notice. Plus since you mostly specialize in teaching close combat courses and spend a lot of your time with the misfit class. It’s a perfect time and chance for Opera joining Babyls’s Teacher staff. That way not only he could watch over you but Iruma as well.” He challenges back.

Balam’s bloodline magic could tell the Chair Demon was bluffing about the temporary unpay leave, but he liked Lord Sullivan’s idea too much. Someone could protect his wife and future children just in case he couldn’t. So he sat there while watching the 2 demons bicker with each other.

“Fine, I’ll do whatever you want, just don’t fire me from my job.” You agree with gritted teeth.

“I’m glad we can come to an understanding,” Sullivan said while smirking.

He then turns into his cute and small egg form.
“Since we're done with the lame serious talk, let’s talk about potential baby names. How about Iruma or Iruma junior or Irumi if it’s a girl.”
“Oh yeah, I have to come up with 3 names for them.”You said with a blank expression on your face.

“I heard giving birth to 3 babies is not that different than giving birth to one,” Opera spoke up for the first time in a while.
“Oh like you know.” You shot back at your and Balam’s senpai.
Opera eyes then lower in shame.
“I’m sorry Opera for snapping at you, I’m still trying to process all of this new information.”
“Now I feel bad for not telling you this earlier,” Balam said while scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

You shot your head at your husband. “What!”
“You know what, it’s really not a big deal.” Balam tries to backtrack.
“No, tell me my dearest husband, what was it you needed to tell me.” You demanded a little too sweetly, making everyone and even Sullivan shiver with your dark aura.
Balam began talking in a quieter tone.
“Since we just got married, I didn’t want to pressure you of having kids. But until you mention the topic of having kids first, I was going to warn you that multiple births is very common for my species-.”
You then pounced at your husband like prey and started strangling him.
“ What have you done to me, I’m going to fucking kill you.” You shouted as you continue strangling your husband.

“Love you too sweety.” Balam manages to choke out.
“Oh my, is (Name) on her evil cycle.” Sullivan wondered out loud.
“No sir, I’m pretty sure (Name) is just having a mood swing,” Opera stated as he and his master watch you try to kill your husband.
Balam could breathe again when he felt his wife’s grip on his neck getting looser.
“It’s a good thing those pills I gave to (Name) have a strong drowsy side effect.” Opera stated before you fell asleep soundly onto your husband’s muscular chest.

“Tell (Name) I’m giving her this week and next week off fully paid,” Sullivan stated after Balam picked up his wife’s sleeping form and made his way to the mansion’s front door.
After Opera opened and close the door for Professor Balam and his wife, they looked up at the top of the staircase.
“It’s safe to come out master Iruma,” Opera stated which made the young boy come out of his hiding spot.

“Professor (Name) was so scary, I truly thought she was going to kill Professor Balam,” Iruma said as his body kept on shaking.
“Indeed, even I was a little shaken up myself.” Opera admitted.
“But I don’t really blame her, I can’t ever imagine of having 3 kids at once would be easy. But either way, I will shoot down anyone and anything that would bring harm to her and her future kids.” Iruma declares with determination in his voice.

“Oh my dearest Iruma-Kun, you are such a sweet and caring boy.” Lord Suillvan praises his grandson before ushering him back to bed.

Chapter 6: Good night my little Nuggets

Chapter Text

Balam tucked his wings into his back once he finally reaches the rather large home that the both of you occupy. After you guys officially tie the knot, both you and Balam move out of the Babyls’s teacher dorms and got a house big enough to raise a future family.
While Balam walked down the hallway with you still in his arms, he looked at the multiple empty bedrooms in a new light. Soon those empty rooms will be occupied by children, not just any children but his and the woman who he was madly in love with for years.

Balam loves children and he knew early in his life that he wanted to be a father. It just took him a lot longer than he expected for that dream to become a reality. He didn’t have much luck in the love department, because most potential matches were either creeped out by his appearance or interest.

Or they just want to go out with him for the wrong reasons, like gaining credibility for dating a rank Chet demon who’s also a professor of one of the finest demon schools across the Netherworld. All of his past partners had one thing in common, none of them had truly loved and cared about him.

Then Balam decided he should just become a single father through adoption. But that was also an impossible goal that was out of his reach. Even if he makes good money and his job involves working with children, but since he was a single male demon. None of the multiple adoption agencies he had to apply to, had ever called or tried to reach out to him in any way.

Sadden at the fact he would most likely would never had children on his own, he gave up on everything. He gave up on finding a woman who was willing to have children with him and he gave up on ever adopting a kid. As more years past when he accepted the sad truth about his unattainable goals, that all changed when he met Iruma.

Iruma use to be one of the worst students academic wise in Babyls, but after watching the boy improved on himself so he could get better grades. And got rewarded for getting the most improved grades out of his grade level. Iruma’s achievements have inspired Balam to confess his feelings toward his old classmate and now coworker.
Which happens to be the best decision Balam had ever made because now he has everything he could ask for.

A great job that he gets to teach the most talented demons that a school can have to offer. Finding out his life work wasn’t pointless after the recent discovery that human and imagined creatures do exist. Since his human student had confirmed all of his theories and questions.

He is around good people who don’t judge and treat him differently just because of his intimidating appearance or because of the fact he likes children's picture books. Iruma, Sullivan, Opera, Kalego, all the kids from the misfit class, and finally you, all those people who make Balam feel love and appreciation.
Now he is married to the woman who he had been secretly in love with for years. And that same woman is pregnant with not just one, but three little nuggets. Yes, Professor Balam truly feels blessed right now.

Balam quietly opens and closes the master bedroom door.
Not wanting to wake you up, he use magic to make the sheet covers pull out of their own.
Balam then laid your body flat onto your back before lifting up your shirt which reveals your still flat stomach. Oh, Devi, he can’t wait until you start showing, he wants to watch your stomach grow big with his children inside. Since you’re having triplets, it’s only a matter of weeks or even days when your belly develops a baby bump.

Balam then took off his mask and kissed his wife’s stomach.
“Good night my little nuggets, your daddy can’t wait to meet all 3 of you,” Balam said before he got into the side of his bed.
He then kisses your forehead.
“Good night (Name) I hope our kids won’t give you too much trouble,” Balam whispered into his wife’s ear before falling asleep with his hand resting on your stomach.

Chapter 7: The Genders

Chapter Text

Almost 2 weeks have passed since the drinking party and now you are currently dressing yourself for work.
After putting on your Babyls’s teacher uniform, which felt tight in the chest and stomach area but still big enough where you can manage. You look at yourself up and down, enjoying your still slender appearance before you will be blown up like a balloon.
“Ready to go?”Balam asked and you nodded.
Even if Balam insisted or more like begged to fly you to work himself. You decline his offer and explain you want to enjoy flying as much as you can before becoming too heavy for your wings to support your sudden weight gain.

Once you and Balam finally reach the school, you were already out of breath from the short flying commute.
“Damn this sucks, I use to be the fastest flyer in our class.” You grumble out before a familiar demon from the student council handed you a bottle of water.
“Here you go Professor (Name) I’m sure you are exhausted flying while pregnant,” Ameri stated with a warm smile.
“How did you know that?” You manage to pant out.
The student council president suddenly blush.

“Well um, Jazz and Allocer from the misfit class made a betting pool for you and Professor Balam’s baby’s gender. And of course, since the misfit class is so popular, word about the gender betting pool spread fast across the school.”
“Who is participating in the betting pool,” You asked.
“Mostly the second and third-year students and I think a few teachers are participating as well; Professor Dali, Raim, Murmur, Oswell, and Robin placing their bets on ‘Girl. While Professor Blushenko, Suzy, Ifrit, Momonoki, and Marbas think you are having a boy. But don’t worry I would never take part in such an intrusive betting pool.”Ameri defended herself with her hands out.

“If you kicked both Jazz and Allocer’s asses for me, you can be the first person who I tell the babies’ gender to. That way you won’t have any chance of losing the betting pool.” You offer while smirking.
Ameri’s eyes twitch slightly before covering her mouth with both of her hands.
“Professor (Name) are you having twins?” Ameri questioned rather loudly.
You only shook your head. “Add one more baby to the mix,”
“Triplets, you're having triplets!” The student council stated with wide and unbelieving eyes.

“Bingo! Turns out multiple births run in this asshole’s family.” You then pointed at your blushing husband.
“Oh my devi, I think Clara might actually win the betting pool. Nobody took her seriously when she put down that you were going to have triplets. She even went as far as guessing the babies’ genders.” Ameri said which made you raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
“What were her 3 guesses.” You asked.
“2 boys and 1 girl I think,” Ameri responded.
You hum for a second before smirking a lot wider this time.
“I was going to tell the misfit class I was expecting triplets today. But, it seems everyone has already placed their bets on my babies’ genders and we already have someone guessing triplets. How about they learn about both the number of kids I’m having and their genders as well, within only a few weeks from now,” You said while smirking.
-x-
-A few weeks later-
On the same day when you were going to find out the babies’ sexes, Balam invited his parents over for lunch to inform them they are becoming grandparents.

When both you and your husband were still attending Babyls, you carry Balam back to his home a lot of times when he and Kalego get beat up by a certain cat demon.
To show their appreciation for bringing back their son to them, they include you in pretty much all of their family dinners. You always love eating and spending time with the Balam Family since you didn’t have any living relatives of your own. Since Balam was an only child, Balam’s mom always loves it when you come over because she always wanted a daughter to talk and dress up in cute outfits. Out of the demons you told about your engagement to Shichiro, you remember that Mrs.Balam was the happiest out of everyone since you officially became a part of the family.

Once you were done cleaning everyone’s plates, you then walked next to your husband’s side and grab his gloved hand.
“So what is the special occasion for inviting my husband and me over to your lovely home out of the blue.” Balam’s mother asked, knowing that his son and daughter-in-law has something up their sleeve.

“Balam, hand them the bag.” You said while giggling.
He then picked up a white gift bag that had been hiding under the dining table and handed it to his parents.
While Balam’s parents were focusing their attention on seeing what was inside the bag, they didn’t notice when your husband got his phone out and hit the record button.
“I got the coolest grandparents across the Netherworld.” Both Balam’s mother and father read what was printed on the onesie out loud before freezing from their places and turning their attention onto you.
You then took off the oversize cardigan and reveal the form-fitted tanktop you wore underneath it.
The material that stretched around your rounded stomach made it pretty clear you were pregnant.

“AHHHHHHHHH! Oh my devi, this is actually happening.” Balam’s mom was the first one to react with tears running down her face.
“You did it, my boy, a little nestling of your own.” Balam’s father said to his son with pride.
“I think you mean nestlings, you only read 1 out of the 3 onesies inside the bag.” If you thought Balam’s parent's reaction to the knowledge of having just 1 grandkid was crazy, now it was a complete underreaction in comparison.

Balam’s mother was rolling around the floor while hugging all three of the onesies to her chest.
“Triplets, I’m going to be a grandmother to triplets.” The future grandma said while crying.
Balam’s father quickly ran out the door and release his wings once he was outside.
“I finally get my band,” He shouted while flying around your house in circles.
“Do you know their genders? I want to go on a baby and maternity clothes shopping spree right now.” Balam’s mother declares while jumping up and down.

“Actually Balam and I waited until we could all read this together.” You then pull out a white envelope from your back pocket.
“Before I show this to you guys, does anyone want to place bets on the number of boys or girls that I’m having?” You said while slowly opening the wax seal.
“All boys.”Balam’s mother declares with confidence.
“2 girls and 1 boy.” Balam’s father said with just as much confidence as his wife.
“As long as they are healthy, I’m happy either way,” Balam said, not carrying about the babies’ genders since he would love all of them the same.
“I’m going with the same answer as my favorite student suggested so I’ll say 2 boys and 1 girl.”
You then opened the envelope and unfolded the results.
“Holy shit, either Clara can see into the future or is luckier than Babyls’s Astrology teacher, whose entire bloodline magic is literally based on luck,” You stated in pure disbelief at your student's perfect prediction.
-x-
You were currently sitting in one of the plush chairs in Royal One while you waited for a certain black hair and red eye demon to come in.
“Yo Jazz, I got the results for the babies’ genders.” You said after he and everyone else took their seat for roll call.

“Thank you, now I can finally prove to everyone that you and Professor Balam are having a cute little girl,” Jazz said cockily as he wave the already open envelope in order to get everyone’s attention.

He then put the piece of paper in the middle of a table so that everyone could read the results.
“You're having triplets and how the fuck did Clara even guess all their genders right,” Jazz shouted while rereading the results again.
“Yeah, Yeah, I win. You guys thought I was stupid for my bet.” Clara sang while bouncing up and down.
“Don’t you mean we win Ms.Clara,” Kalego said which got everyone’s attention.
“You were actually serious about putting you down for the same answer as Clara.” Lied questioned with his mouth completely slack jaw.
“If it makes you kids feel better, Kalego already knew before even Professor Balam and I knew that I was having triplets.”You reveal while glaring at your coworker.
“Boo, boo, Professor Kalego cheated.”Lied said with his thumb pointing down.

“Yeah, he’s a copycat too.”Clara's pipe up with her thumb down too.
“Silence fools, I didn’t know the genders so I still had just a right to place my bet like anyone else did.” Kalego retorted which made his students stop their protest.
“Hey, Professor (Name) how far along are you in your pregnancy right now?” Alice asked.
“I’m in my second trimester,” You responded before rubbing your stomach affectionately.

Sabnock then picks you up from underneath your armpits and puts you on top of his shoulders.
“Having 3 pupils to train sounds 3 times better than just training one.”Sabnock declares while carrying you on top of him.
“Sabnock you idiot, put Professor (Name) down this instant. You shouldn’t roughhouse with a demon in her condition .” Alice stated with fire spitting from his mouth.

To everyone’s shock, Sabnock actually listens to Alice by gently laying you down on your feet as if you were made out of glass.
“I swear, you guys are worst than my husband.” You commented, disappointed that even your own students are treating you like some weak little kid, rather than the well-respected Chet rank demon that you are.

Chapter 8: 6 Months Mark

Chapter Text

“In 3,2,1 this is where our new family members will be sleeping,” Balam said after revealing the forest theme nursery in front of you.
On one corner was a changing table, and the left wall had three cribs where natural sunlight shone onto it. A white bookshelf full of children's story books and cute stuffed animals, with a rocking chair next to it all.
“So, what do you think?” He asked after you were done looking around.
“I love it.” You declare while bouncing up and down excitedly.
Balam then sweeps you off your feet before giving your 6-month pregnant rounded stomach a light peak.
“What did I say about exerting your body too much?” He questioned, making you cross your arms.

“That’s why it is risky for the babies’ health.” You responded before your face broke into a smile.
Balam carried you to the couch and turned on the TV which happens to be playing your guys' favorite nature show.
He gave you a bowl of pineapple sherbet, knowing you've been carving that certain type of treat lately, and joined you on the couch.
“This episode seems to be very interesting,” Balam exclaimed out of nowhere.
You only huff as you stuff your cheeks with sherbet.

“Yeah, but it’s not the same as exploring the wildness for yourself. I want to fight and test my strength against the strongest magical beasts like how I used to every weekend before you got me knocked up,” You whined.

“(Name) We already talked about this, I’m not letting my pregnant wife be alone in the harsh ecosystem of the Netherworld and get into unnecessary and dangerous situations since I still haven’t recovered from your last adventure,” Balam said, before replaying the event in his head.

You only rolled your eyes at your husband needless worrying.
“It wasn’t that bad.” You defended remembering what you did that almost made your husband nearly have a heart attack.

“You left the house without noticing me and decided to go alone in the forest,” He recalls the events that happened only a month ago.
“You’re still mad about that, it’s been almost a month ago since that happened.” You reminded him.
“And what if I am?” He challenged with cross arms, which only made you roll your eyes.
“For the last time, I had the situation under control until you came in with your flashy magic vines and went completely overkilled,” You shot back.
“Oh right, somehow I’m the bad guy for not wanting my pregnant wife-”
“Rank chet.” You cut in.

“Okay, for not letting my Rank Chet pregnant wife fight multiple dangerous demon alligators all by herself.” He finished.
“I got bored for being cooped up in this house for too long so wanted to relive one of my old hobbies when we when still attending Babyls?” You then stop ranting when you feel a small poke in your stomach.

“See even our kids agree that you are being too overbearing,” You exclaimed smugly while leading your husband’s hand from where the kicking was coming from.
“Shichiro?” You said your husband's name is who seems to be in a trans.
“T-their kicking, they are finally kicking, I was worried something was wrong with them since you’re almost entering the third trimester and they never kick once before” Tears began to swell in your husband’s eyes, and began fonding over your rounded stomach.

“It’s a good thing that your species grow at a much slower rate or I would be a lot bigger than I am right now,” You said in slight glee.

“Even if the Garyrole’s offspring comes out much smaller than the average demon baby, are you sure you’re eating enough? I recently saw some old pictures of my mother when she was pregnant, and your bump almost looks the same as when she was at your stage of pregnancy. Other than eating pineapple sherbet, you don’t have much of an appetite, ” You only pouted when Balam mentioned your favorite drink.

“Don’t worry dear, even if the doctor did inform me I’m a little too light than what is considered average, it’s not enough to raise any alarm bells. And besides I’m not going to have the same pregnancy experience as your mother, all women go through different things” But your answer didn’t satisfy your husband that much.
“So you are underweight,” Balam began panicking before picking up your empty bowl of sherbet.

He then came back with a bigger bowl full of your favorite frozen treat.
“Please eat more, I’m sure 1 bowl of sherbet isn’t enough to satisfy 3 mouths,”
You only shrugged your shoulders when your husband handed you the bowl.
“If you insist,” Was all you said before taking a large bite and enjoying the refreshing taste of pineapple goddess.

While you were eating your sherbet, Balam was currently playing with your stomach by feeling the small kicks that were poking out of your skin.
“I can’t wait to meet you guys, just 3 more months and I can hold you guys for real,” Balam said as he continued to nuzzle his head against your rounded stomach.
