It hadn’t been much of a surprise to find out he was pregnant: after all, during his last heat, Soji and Susano’o had spend all those days together…
It was fun how the god had been the one to get tired most of the time, honestly. Not that Susano’o had taken the offers of stopping, and frankly, Soji had been more than happy about it.
“I should go tell Susano’o !” He said smiling to Skalmold “but after our spare! It’ll be a nice surprise!” and besides, the god looked quite handsome after it, his strong body quite sore and sweaty…
“Soji, I don’t think it’s a good idea “ the Valkyrie told him softly. She had been the one that insisted that he should get tested “I’m not sure if a volund would be safe in your condition ”
The boy pouted, but did have to agree with the Valkyrie.
When Soji told him that they were going to have a baby, Susano’o couldn’t remember a day where he had been happier. He had carefully lifted his omega and kissed him gently, with his partner giggling and asking if a baby god would be able to use a katana as soon as they were born.
That…was a good question, and Susano’o had commissioned a katana for when their kid was born, just in case.
But seeing his partner was human, there was a chance the baby wouldn’t be a god, but rather a demigod. Not that it had bothered his own father when he and Soji broke the news to his family: the primordial had been possibly even happier than Susano’o himself, considering for how long he’d longed for grandchildren.
The boy snuggling against him took the god out of his thoughts. Soji, being small even for a male omega, wasn’t quite having an easy pregnancy. For his own safety and that of the child, he had been told that he needed to be bedridden during the last months of it.
So the god made sure to spend all the possible time by his side. He had even considered to stop training all together to make sure he wasn’t alone, but Soji made it clear that he would never forgive Susano’o if he did so.
The god put a hand on his partner’s belly. The baby kicked hard, making the boy groan in pain.
“I think the baby really wants to go train “he mumbled.
“All at its time, “ after very proudly telling Soji about the katana, their baby had started to move around more. It seemed that it got both their love for katana fights “let’s wait until they’re born“
He felt the boy’s soft lips on his cheek, his scent stronger “you better fight me again after I have our baby” Soji smirked “I’m the best swordfighter of this house, after all”
“I look forward to show our baby what a good battle looks like “Susano’o couldn’t help but to smile “although a rematch against such an adorable foe should be unfair…”
“I’m not adorable “Soji grumbled, and he looked quite cute while at it.
While he hadn’t been overjoyed about the bed rest, Soji couldn’t quite say it was like the lung disease that had cost his life, or his nesting.
For starters, it was for the baby’s sake, so he was more than willing to bear with it from the start. Even if it meant he couldn’t even hold his katana to practice his swings anymore.
Second, he wasn’t missing any war nor did his friends need his help, so his worries about not being there for them weren’t in his mind.
Third, he liked to talk to the baby. He was use to talk with cats, who wouldn’t answer back but meow, so it wasn’t that weird to talk without hearing back from them.
“And after that, I sliced their throats!” He explained smiling “they thought I was just some lost little omega, but well, it was their own fault! And so we were able to save your uncle Saito on time “
The baby moved slowly. It was strange, at least at first, but Soji by now had gotten used to it. At best he could describe it like putting his tongue against his mouth…when it wasn’t a kick, those did hurt. After all, their baby would be just as eager to fight like him and Susano’o, so that wasn’t much of a surprise.
They had even scared Tama once, when the cat was keeping Soji company and the kicks made her jump away.
“I’m guessing you won’t tell them about the rock incident ?” Skamold asked as she arrived with some water and soup. The Valkyrie was of so much help while Susano’o wasn’t around.
Mr.Kondo, as good of a cook as he was, made food that Soji just couldn’t eat as the baby made him feel too ill if he did. He’d have to teach them to appreciate his cooking, less he made his teacher feel sad.
“Shh!” Soji didn’t want his baby to hear about it “Serizawa cheated!”
The Valkyrie giggled “alright alright, I won’t speak about it, then “
He would ask Susano’o to tell their baby another story. After all, he was strong and had many good ones!
Omegas could have strange cravings during their pregnancies, but that hadn’t been the case for his omega: Soji had just asked for Buddha chups.
Not that they had been easy to get, Buddha himself often left all of heavens without a stock of them . But hearing it was for his expecting omega, he had given Susano’o an entire bag of them.
And Soji had been overjoyed about it, seeing he was currently taking his time gently licking one. His tongue and lips were blue and he looked far too adorable for his own good.
“I think the baby will get tired of them “ Susano’o told him, gently petting his hair. Soji leaned against him
“More for me!” He smiled
“You greedy little thing “ the god kissed his forehead
“Hey, I’m not little!” Soji complained, but kept eating the lollipops. But he stopped “could you tell the baby the story of how you killed the evil gods ?”
“I think that one’s not ideal “Susano’o thought “it’s too boring, they weren’t good fighters” all of them hadn’t even resisted one katana strike.
“Hmmm….”Soji seemed to be thinking. He then lef the lollipop aside and grabbed Susano’o’s arm to gently stroke it “how about the time you killed the Orochi?”he asked smiling
“That is my second best fight “ so it would work. After all, his best one was about their first fight.
The Caesarean wasn’t precisely easy. Not that either had expected it, with Soji being human and carrying a demigod. Besides, for male omegas, that was pretty much the only option they had.
Still, after getting cut up….He was more than eager to just get out and fight…and a bit dizzy…maybe too dizzy…
Susano’o came and knelt to his level, gently carrying a very wrinkly potato who cried very loudly…
Wait…
“She’s so cute!” Soji smiled and reached with his hand to touch the baby’s nose. Some people said that you could tell who a baby got her eyes and nose from, but Soji could only tell that she had Susano’o’s hair
“Do you want to hold her?” his partner asked. Soji nodded, and the god carefully put the girl in his arms. The baby calmed a bit, but she still had her eyes closed.
“Hey…”Soji mumbled “do you want to see your katanna? Your dad got you one, it’s very good!”
But she didn’t answer, only stayed silent in his arms
“I think she was born a demigoddess ”and not a goddess Susano’o pet their daughter’s hair “they are a bit more like human children”
“Oh!” that made sense “then let’s wait until you can walk, all right, Munakata?” now he wasn’t expecting an answer, their girl only suck on her thumb
“We can still fight ourselves “ Susano’o smiled “Skalmold and I made sure to pack your katanna, let’s go after”
“I love you so much “ Soji knew he’d found the right may long before, but he loved to be reminded of it. And the perks of medicine in heavens is that he knew he’d be out in a few hours
“I love you too” The god kissed his lips, their daughter whined a bit “all right, young lady, we have to make a few introductions with you first “after all, Susano’o’s family, Skalmold and the Shinsengumi had waited a bit to meet her.
