@forkswitch @TheCullenSon The warlock had his arms crossed, clearly trying to hide his discomfort.

He didn’t much care for EJ however, he was the father to his only niece so…

Zander will do his best to behave. For now.

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

What? Her older brother can’t get her pizza?

He was feeling generous. Never again, apparently.

[𝓜 . 𝐼 . 𝐿 . 𝐹 @forkswitch]

She’s eyeing him suspiciously, but she smiled anyway.

More than anything else, really. But— it feels like there’s a catch here.

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

@forkswitch / you should be 😂 could I run something by you?

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

/ I’m bringing a slight curveball to Zander 😂

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

…how?

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

He brought @forkswitch lunch.

He doesn’t know what she eats but, pregnant women love pizza, right?

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

He froze at the affection, not sure if he should hug her back?

He allowed her to have the moment, clearing his throat.

“Do I lie, Gwen? Also, have you confirmed gender?”

He might’ve known a spell…

[𝓜 . 𝐼 . 𝐿 . 𝐹 @forkswitch]

She’s resisting the urge to squeal in excitement, but couldn’t stop herself from throwing her arms around her brother, squeezing him tightly.

“Do you mean it?” Relief washed over her.

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

His stance became uncomfortable as he frowned, crossing his arms. If she loved the child that much…

“What do you need me to do?”

[𝓜 . 𝐼 . 𝐿 . 𝐹 @forkswitch]

She smiled a little, hands moving to delicately rest over her growing baby bump.

“More than I’ve ever loved anything,” she admitted, herself surprised by it. She’d never known such love, such devotion.

“Will you help?”

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

He snapped back to look at her, his facade literally melting into nothing.

He never imagined that she would want to be a mother, and here she was fretting over her child over her own safety, and even the safety of EJ.

“You, you really love the child…don’t you?”

[𝓜 . 𝐼 . 𝐿 . 𝐹 @forkswitch]

She tried not to get too excited, but the moment Zander let his hardened facade fall, she knew he was right where she needed him. She breathed a small sigh of relief.

“You boys don’t need to have a tea party. . . Just— please. I can’t even think of what they’ll do to her.”

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

You’re the first immortal I’ve seen that said that.

Most of you bask in the fact that you’re practically invincible.

Also Taco Bell is disgusting.

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

// what is the sex of the baby guys 😂😂

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

// Zander is so over it lmao

[𝓜 . 𝐼 . 𝐿 . 𝐹 @forkswitch]

|| “I’m a witch not Jesus” 😂😂😂

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

Wait — you don’t want to be a vampire any longer?

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

He turned his face away, trying to avoid her emotions, and his.

“You expect me to get along with EJ to help raise your child? I couldn’t.”

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

It all clicked into place. She was going to carry this baby, even if it killed her. The determination in her eyes was evident, as well as the tears that now formed.

He too softened, cursing under his breath. If Zander owed his sister anything, it was this.

[𝓜 . 𝐼 . 𝐿 . 𝐹 @forkswitch]

She knew all that, that’s what annoyed her.

“Do you think I’m stupid, Zander? I’m not asking you to protect me—“ the witch approached a step, her features softening for her brother.

“But the baby? She’ll need it when I’m— you know. . .” She tried not to let the emotions +

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

I’m a witch, not Jesus.

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

Maybe you can offer her protection.

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

/🥹 okay that made me soft lol how am I supposed to have Zander say no to that

[ZANDER @ruinouswarlock]

It’s very real.
