Tolkien Elven Imagines and Headcanons Volume 1

60. Being Pregnant with Finrod's Child Headcanons

- Overjoyed doesn't begin to describe Finrod's mood when you announce to him that you're with child and he draws you in for such a sweet and tender kiss.

- You honestly couldn't have a better partner to share such a wonderful time with as Finrod is such a loving gentleman!

- Immediately he monologues to you how excited he is to have a baby with you , and that he loves you so incredibly much. He even thanks you for already giving him such a wonderful gift.

- I've always pictured life in Nargothrond to be slow paced, and Finrod takes full advantage of that while you're pregnant.

- You're having a horrid bout of morning sickness and really need him there? Finrod will take the extra time to hold your hair back and rub your back until it passes.

- He always takes you for a walk afterwards, insisting that the fresh air will help you feel better and he is usually right.

- He loves it when you hang on his arm while he walks with you, you look adorable waddling right next to him, and Finrod is absolutely looking down admiring you softly.

- As you get bigger he will take as long as it needs to get some place with you, knowing that being pregnant hinders your movement speed, and he will never rush you no matter how late it is making him.

- He will patiently coach you through the numerous steps, assuring you that it is of no issue that he is helping you even though he is twenty minutes late. That you making it up these steps safely is far more important.

- Finrod admittedly panics a little bit when you are feeling a pain that you are unsure of being normal or not, or when you complain that you're feeling shortness of breath from the baby squished in your lungs.

- So he spends time openly going to the Healing Halls to ask questions about your ailments and how he can help lessen their pain or discomfort.

- When he learns that some of those pains are unavoidable he does his best to provide emotional support for you assuring you that if he could, he'd take on the discomfort that you're feeling.

- Finrod loves rubbing your belly, he will stand behind you in a more protective manner, hand placed on your baby bump where he rubs affectionately placing a kiss to the top of your head.

- Finrod always manages to keep any eye on you, and its done very casually, knowing that if something were about to go wrong someone would be quick to help you, as he trusts his people like they trust him.

- Finrod will play the harp for you and the baby often, to the point that is sometimes the only way to get them to calm down when they've been kicking you in the stomach for the last hour and a half.

- When your elfling gets here, Finrod's heart if overwhelmingly full of love at the sight of them

- He absolutely monologues his love for them, telling them that he has never seen anything as precious and as pure as them. And that they are one of the greatest gifts Eru ever blessed him with, "your Nanneth being the first, of course."

- Finrod is honestly quick to turn the monologue from the baby to you as well, thanking you profusely and praising how wonderful you are while pressing soft kisses to both you and the elfling.

- When all of the elfling's needs have been met and they grow inconsolably fussy Finrod lays them on your chest and gets his harp. Sitting next to the edge of the bed and plays the same songs he did when you were pregnant to help calm and soothe them.

- It works like a charm every single time, and afterwards he lays his head on your shoulder, nestled close with you while his hand caresses their sweet little face. All with a soft smile on his face.
