Elfen Lied (LucyxMaleReader) Lillium's Descent

Chapter 13 ( Independence over society)

Reader's P.O.V.

After what happened yesterday, Lucy and I had many heated interactions but even though she understood that engaging in such acts would lead to a child being produced, she didn't quite grasp how that would come to be. I found her innocence astounding and I loved experimenting with it. I often told her that if we wait a little while longer, a baby will grow in the garden of a stork will carry us a baby from the skies. I would watch her from around a corner as she stood anxiously by the window, scanning the skies for anything flying our way. Then when she had started to show signs of an actually pregnancy, that's when I walked up to her and put a finger right on her belly button and told her that the baby was here all along....inside of her.

It took a mere moment for her to grasp what I had told her but once she understood, her eyes filled with wonder and excitement. I had to tell her how fragile her state was. I didn't want to feel like I was smothering her but the least thing I wanted to happen was for something to happen to the baby because Lucy would be upset beyond words and so would I. Though Lucy was as careful with her well being than I thought and acted as if she  had the weakest thing inside of her that would break at any sign of roughness against it. I felt a little better knowing she was being so careful. Even knowing we had a child on the way, I still couldn't bring myself to grasp the word "father" or "dad". I couldn't even grasp being called a husband or Lucy a mother and a wife. I just never expected that this day would come but after a while I loved saying those words and would often whisper them under my breath.

I wanted to take care of our baby no matter what. I always wanted to be there for it in a way that y parents where never there for me. Lucy and I often found ourselves wondering if our child would be human or a diclonious but then we thought we were thinking about it too much. Perhaps it would just be a diclonious like all these other people who had babies that were the result of being infected with the vector virus. Regardless, I was happy with whatever our baby would be, even at the risk that he or she could slaughter us when they turn age 3. Thinking about our child growing up in such a discriminating world, made me worry a lot, I didn't want the government snooping around and discovering our the relationship Lucy and I have. They'd find out we were purposely producing diclonious and would more than likely execute us and our kids.

However, this only made it more important that we learn to be independent. We didn't need help from a society that could never understand our precious relationship anyway. I'd die before I let anyone hurt Lucy or our kids. The least thing Lucy needed was to have a repeat of her past. She understood this too but always knew just how to pull me back into my happy place with her. That's how we found ourselves turning the guest room into a nursery since Lucy and I shared a room now. It was funny decorating with her. Her vectors were especially useful in getting places we couldn't necessarily reach at our current heights like painting the wall or even thread a needle. Jeez it's hard to thread a needle by hand.....

When we weren't working on the nursery, we were out buying things for the baby and safe proofing the house for a baby. People started to notice and we heard whisper like ," Shy old (Y/n) is having a kid? I would never think the day would come", or " and look at his wife, she must be lucky." Lucy and I weren't married but we once she learned about what it was, she wanted to do it. In our current situation, Lucy and I couldn't get married without attracting attention to the government. I was thinking about doing a marriage license but then Lucy and I would both have to be present and so that was out of the question. Instead we just had our own version of a marriage ceremony at home and declared that we were husband and wife until the day we died. It was really nice to be honest and I later, bought Lucy a ring which would be one of many things from me that she would cherish as long as she was alive.

In such a short time, we had gone through a lot of important things together but our main focus was the baby. I often informed Lucy about her body. Being that I was in home economics of some time and took a brief...sex education class, I knew a good chunk of information which was fortunate because I'd need all of it for when it was time to deliver the baby. Couldn't risk a doctor birthing it. I was nervous for the nine months to come but I knew that I could do it. Even if our plans didn't work out and we ended up in a never end run from the government, or even have nothing ahead of us but a life of solitude from the rest of society, it really didn't matter. To be honest, all we really needed was each other. Though at times, when we were being intimate and the sounds of Lucy voice would leak out into the streets, I often did chuckle at the fact that any one passing by would get the message that we didn't care about anything or anyone. The only thing on our mind was the love that we had for each other in that house, the love of two that created a third.
