Trigger warnings~ manipulation abuse

Prompt~ tumblr anon~ Could I please request a fic based off the sound floating around tiktok that goes like
*I needed a soldier, you wanted a father..."
"Well I guess we're both disappointed"
I was thinking maybe it could be a lady lesso X rafals daughter. Where r was sent to kill lesso and become the new dean of evil but they end up falling for each other (enemies to lovers style) because lesso and r both see how much damage Rafal has done to them mentally and physically.
This allows them to both heal together and they end up defeating Rafal together.
Afterward either r or Leonora end up finding out they are pregnant and r freaks out over becoming a parent because they are scared they will be just like rafal and won't be able to break the cycle of abuse but lesso comforts them and tells them that they are nothing like their father and will be an amazing parent.

Abuse was all you knew, that's why it was unsurprising that your father sent you to do his dirty work. His enemy, the newly appointed dean of evil, your task to dispose of her. Your father explained how she was ugly inside and out and not worthy of such a position. You'd be doing everyone a service and he'd love you forever. You craving his love would do anything for him, anything to stop the abuse. You knew what would happen if you didn't comply.

Arriving at the school, you were completely shocked to see her. She was gorgeous. How could your father say she was ugly? In fact she much reminded you of your mother, who died at the hands of your father. You knew you had to do this, but when she spoke you could've cried, her voice sounding like angels singing. The perfect amount of sexy and sweet. How would you be able to complete the task, when this was your target?

The more time you let pass, the more frustrated your father became with you. It shouldn't have taken you this long, you knew that but getting to know Leonora was truly magical. She didn't know you were meant to kill her, and truly you didn't know if you could. All you wanted was to love her despite the fact it's wrong. Your father would be massively unhappy and the punishment would be hell but totally worth it.

Your father visited you, frustrated that you'd refused to kill her. You took a beating to protect her, as soon as he left you made your way to Leonora. That's where you broke down, you let her see how broken you were and sobbed through the confession of being sent her to kill her. You confessed you didn't want to. That you had feelings for her, but he was so so angry and you didn't want him to hurt her.

Leonora's heart broke at the sight, it was clear you were poorly looked after and manipulated to suit his needs. Love wasn't something you'd been given unconditionally and that's all she wanted to do for you. Provide you with that special love and care you deserved. You'd heal from this together she'd make sure of that, cradling your battered body in her arms she made a silent promise to protect you.

Your relationship flourished after that, you both healed together and truly you'd never been happier. Leonora showed you what true unconditional love was. But that didn't take away the fears of losing her. The day you found out you were pregnant was honestly one of the best and scariest days of your life. Knowing you had created something so beautiful, something that was you and your lover was amazing but the fear was there.

Lesso could easily leave you. Walk away like nothing ever happened between you both. But what if you couldn't raise a child? What if you were broken like him? How would you provide love and stability for a child when your whole childhood had been filled with abuse that only people could imagine in their worst nightmares. You couldn't mess your beautiful innocent baby up like he did to you. You had to break the cycle.

By the time you'd told Leonora you were sure that you were unable to be a suitable mother. Be Leonora was quick to reassure you, together you'd raise this baby to be the most loving kind gently Never to exist. You chuckled at the fact she was assuming your baby would be a Never. Leo reasoning that their mothers were Never's so the baby will too. Your baby. You began finally look forward to the future, your girlfriend and your baby, life could only get better. You'd both break the cycle and protect the child with your life.
