(Ummm I may or may not have planned another kid for Luck and Magna Aheh. The kid is gonna be a biological female but they're gonna be a trans male. How does that sound?)

Getting Hotaru to sleep was a task on its own after she was fed and changed. Luck and Magna always claim that its easy to get her to sleep, but they probably didn't fully realize that it was because of their scents that helped lull her to sleep.

Their solution to this, however, was to swaddle her in a blanket that was thick with the scent of both her parents, and rocking her to sleep, hoping that both the scent and a warm embrace would do the trick.

From Astas perspective, it seemed to be working. Hotarus eyes started to sag, her belly full and body warm. She yawns, and grips onto Yunos shirt, who was holding her. They had temporarily moved Hotarus crib into their room, since they felt it would be weird to sleep in their senpais room.

"Its okay, sweet girl, you can go to sleep." Asta murmurs, gently patting her blonde curls.

"Yeah.." Yuno mutters, fixated on her lowering eyelids.

Since the two had helped raise the other kids back at the orphanage, they had gotten pretty good at taking care of small children.

Pretty soon, Hotarus eyes had fully closed, and she was softly snoring as she lay comfortably in Yunos arms, causing Asta and Yuno to exchange soft smiles. As if he was handling glass, Yuno gently placed the young girl into her crib, making sure she was completely out and comfortable.

Hotaru snuggles into her bed, eyes remaining closed as she falls into a deep sleep. Yuno gives a soft smile and sighs softly when Asta wraps his arms around his waist.

"You did well, Yuno..." Asta murmurs, kissing his shoulder.

"We both put her to sleep, don't leave yourself out." The taller replies, dragging him and Asta to the bed.

Yuno gingerly lowers himself onto the mattress, back slightly aching. He had a bunch of pillows under the small of his back for support, thanks to Astas keen senses regarding ki. Yuno looks down to see the small swell of his belly, and he soon places a careful hand to it.

"I wonder, will I act like your senpai when I give birth and have to leave for a mission?" Yuno asks as Asta settles himself next to Yuno, "I hope not.."

Asta manages a small laugh, "Yuno, I highly doubt that you won't act similar to what Luck did. It's just going to be wired in your brain to protect and always be near the baby. I'll probably get like that too. I admire Magna for handling the situation the way he did."

"Will Luck be ok from the separation? He won't like, bust in the room and kill us both just to get to Hotaru, right?"

Yuno knew it was probably not gonna come down to that, but in his defense, it was Luck.

Asta snorts, "I don't think he will. Once he gets to fight, he'll probably calm down."

~~~~~

Asta wasn't entirely wrong when he said Luck would calm down when he got to fight.

The moment Luck has sensed the magic in the dungeon, all senses went out the door as a crazy grin stretched his lips.

"Mmmmagna, I can sense a really powerful magic somewhere deeper in the dungeon." He giggles, prepared to launch in the direction and leave Magna behind.

"Babe, you know you'll be a little rusty. It's been over a year since you've been able to fight in a battle." Magna reminds, a small hand on the smallers shoulder.
