Forgotten Friendship | Genji x Reader

Naming

You've been feeling more and more of the pregnancy pains over the past month or two. You're seven months along and you're hoping, praying that your 'Lil shit' as Jesse calls them, lets you know if they're a boy or girl so you and Genji can finally discuss names. 

"What about Aki?"

"I knew an Aki and she was an asshole."

"Eiko?"

"That's too Japanese."

"Haya or Haru?"

That wasn't stopping Genji from discussing them anyways. He's eager, the closer it's gotten to your due date the more real this is feeling to him. He never pictured himself to be a dad, especially after everything that's happened and he's nervous.

"You know, you can name the baby after it's born, right?" Hanzo was trying to calm his bother with some tea. It was not working. "Angela is not going to make you name them on the spot. Hold your child, bond with them, and name them as you look at them, rather than picking one now before you even see their face."

"You know, your brother has a point." You smile softly at Genji who still looks on edge. "We don't have to rush. Not everything has to be done before they're here."

"Didn't you want to have a baby shower? Don't you need a gender or name for that?"

You laugh lightly, "No, you just have a gender-neutral one. Instead of pink or blue, do both, or do orange or yellow. We don't have to do a traditional baby shower."

"But, what about the-"

Hanzo hushed his brother again. "You are over-reacting. Go run a mile and then we will talk."

"But Hanzo I-"

"Now, Sparrow."

Genji huffed at the use of his old nickname and gave you a kiss before going to beat his mile run in record time. "He's so paranoid and worried..." You sigh as you rub the bump that is your stomach. "He's going to start stressing me out."

"Which is why I sent him away." Hanzo passed his tea to you. "You need to relax, especially now. You do not want any complications."

You hum as you drink the tea. "When did you become so savvy as baby knowledge."

Hanzo chuckled, "I knew Genji was too panicked to read up on it himself, so I did it on his behalf. When he is calm I will help him learn."

You laugh lightly, "Funny joke."

Hanzo chuckled; a rare sound to many, but not you. He always laughed when you were younger. "Perhaps I should do standup."

"You will shoot arrows at people who heckle you."

The chuckling only continues. "I suppose you are not incorrect. However, I do believe I have strong self-control."

"Uh-huh, sure." You tease before taking a sip of your tea. "I see you struggle from putting an arrow into McCree every time he talks to you."

"That is preposterous. I do not want to put an arrow in McCree... I simply wish for him to stop talking longer than a minute at a time."

You hum and set the tea down, "Now that I think about it, you and McCree have been spending a lot of time together."

Hanzo huffs, "He required combat training for his arm and Genji has been worried about you so I offered to stand in since our styles are similar." 

"Uh huh."

Hanzo squinted at you, "Are you implying there is more than training happening?"

"Hey, you said it, not me."

Hanzo's face grew red, whether it was with embarrassment or anger you weren't too sure. You just laugh and leave him before he starts showing it was anger and yells at you. You always did enjoy teasing him when you were younger and it seems you can enjoy that past time in your adulthood.

"Good afternoon, [Y/N]." Angela stopped you in the hall with a smile. "I have some good news."

"Oh?" You ask, "Should I get Genji?"

"I feel as though you will want to tell him alone. He may explode." The grin remained on her face.

"Alright, what's the news?"

"You and Genji will be having a little boy."

You feel your heart start to gleam. "That's great! He's going to be so happy!"

"I know." Angela couldn't help but smile wider from your excitement. "Congratulation."

"Thank you. I will go find him before he starts pacing again." You smile before going off to find your boyfriend. You can't wait to tell him.

"Really?! A boy!" Genji resisted the urge to pick you up and spin you and just showed his happiness through his body language. "I can't wait until he's here! I wonder where his tattoo is going to show up! They show up as soon as the their parent's dragon comes out to comfort them. Soba's going to be so excited!"

"Genji, please calm down." You smile, sitting down. "Come on, let's talk names now."

"Really?! We can talk names?!"

You giggle, "Yes, we can talk about names." Genji instantly sits with you and pulls out a little tablet. He brings up a list he has labeled 'Otokonoko no namae' Boy names.' "You've been planning this for a while."

"I've been excited."

You smile and lean into him, reading over the list as he reads them out loud. "I like Ryuji. Short, sweet, cute."

"It means dragon man"

You smile, "Well, he will have a dragon. It will not be far off."

Genji smiles at you before giving you a kiss, "Ryuji it is." He smiles and puts his hand on your stomach, "We will see you soon, Ryuji."

You smile at how loving and caring he is. You can't wait for your son.
