Tainted Love Social Media (ridinginbluejeeps)

Chelsea

A/N: Back from the dead lmao! Hey guys so today I bring you a short mpreg one shot with Danny and Eli. All it does is establish the basis for a lot of other fics. Bear with me if it's bad, I'm new to TL fanfic writing. Another social media post soon, and enjoy!

They had split up from the rest of their group at the beach, their son playing with the Lockwood children, splashing around in the water and building sandcastles from plastic molds.

Danny walked down a long, thin dock, the orange light of the sunset casting long shadows over the water. His husband followed close behind, and now they stood side by side looking out across the water. His arms were crossed over his chest but eventually slipped down to clasp his hands behind his back.

"Hon?"

Elijah smiled and made an affirmative sound, not moving his gaze from the sea.

"I, uh, wanted to tell you something.. waited a while to do so, just to be on the safe side but.." The water seemed to glow from within, alight from the setting sun. He took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." Danny turned to his husband, hoping for a positive reaction. Elijah turned to him, an absolutely unreadable expression on his face.

"Happy? Sad? What's goin on in that brain of yours, mister?" Danny shifted his weight from one foot to the other, a nervous habit he picked up in high school. Without warning, he was gather up into a tight hug, which unsurprisingly lifted him completely off the ground. He squealed, "Eli!"

"Thank you so much.. for everything, but especially now. I love you so much, baby." Elijah whispered, and the words felt private, words he would never say to anyone but Danny. It strangely made the younger man feel like crying from happiness.
He was lowered back to the ground, Eli kissing him softly on the forehead. Danny noticed then that his husband's eyes were misty with unshed tears and grinned.

"You're just a big softie, aren't you?"

"What can I say, 15 years with you has mellowed me." Danny slid his hand into his husband's bigger palm and they slowly started to walk back to their friends and son still on the beach.

"You think it'll be a girl or a boy?" Danny asked with a smile.

"Anyone Junior gets along with is good enough for me."

"I want a girl. There's so many cute girl names, and all the baby clothes are these cute pastel pinks and greens."

"Top name picks?"

"Chelsea. I absolutely love the name Chelsea, and it works well with our last name."

Elijah thought about it for a second, and nodded slowly.

"I like that. Chelsea. Chelsea Waters. A politician's name if I ever heard one."
Danny laughed.

"And it works with Jay's name. Like, ya know how sibling names work better if they sound good together? Elijah and Chelsea."

"Elijah Jr and Chelsea." Eli corrected.

"Oh, whatever." Danny laughed and bumped his husband's shoulder with his own. "Are we gonna tell people?"

"Let's wait just long enough that it's like a dramatic sitcom reveal."

"Right." Danny giggled. After a momentary pause, he spoke. "I love you too. Sorry for not saying it before.. I really do. And.. and I wanna thank you too. You've changed my life, you've given me my babies.. I dunno, I'm just really really glad you're in my life."

"Well, I'm glad to be here." They walked the rest of the way back in companionable silence and acted like nothing was amiss when rejoined with their small group.

And seven months later, Chelsea Marie Waters was born.
