Rowaelin Pregnancy Headcanons
I have also made some headcanons about the inner circle from acotar here
-A couple years after the war and hopefully with Maeve's decapitated head hung on the wall, Aelin decides she wants to start trying for a baby
-Rowan of course agrees
-Aelin "subtly" suggests it means more sex
-That's a lie
-She leaned over so her hot breath was tickling Rowan's ear and said "it also means more sex for you" and bit his earlobe
-They couldn't get to a bedroom fast enough
-Cue them trying for months and still nothing
-No baby
-Aelin starts to feel like maybe she's incapable of having a child
-Maybe there's something wrong with her
-Rowan wants to smack her upside the head for thinking like that, but instead opts for wrapping her in a hug
-Might I add the size difference so Rowan basically encases Aelin in his body
-He says they can just keep trying, then continues to bite her earlobe
-More naughty shenanigans, including touches under tables in inappropriate places, Aelin coming to bed wearing only socks, whispering dirty things in the other's ear in public, and a quickie in a carriage ride that emotionally scarred the poor driver
-One day Aelin runs up to Rowan in tears and he asks what's wrong and immediately grabs her arms assessing her for injuries
-"I'm not hurt you stupid buzzard" and she takes his hand, laying it on her stomach
-Rowan's knees almost gave out
-After a year and a half of trying they were finally blessed with a baby
-Rowan sweeps her in his arms twirling Aelin around, princess style, then sets her down to plant a kiss on her stomach
-Aelin grumbles about how she doesn't have a baby bump yet but is actually preening like a peacock
-They told the others together
-Aedion nearly fell out the window when he tried to lean back against the wall in his emotional state
-Lysandra shrieked so loud that guards came running
-Gavriel smiled at him and wished him good luck in fatherhood
-Fenrys clapped Rowan on the back and said the baby would be proof he had sex with the queen of Terresean
-Lorcan smacked Fenrys upside the head
-Elide hugged the queen and both of them ended up in tears
-Both were tackled to the ground by a ghost leopard that wanted to join in on the group hug
--Aelin gets awful morning sickness and Rowan holds back her hair as she barfs in a bucket while simultaneously cussing like a sailor
-Elide brings her some cool towels and saltine crackers to help
-Rowan thanks the gods for Elide in that moment
-Rowan can not stop touching Aelin's stomach
-He leaves kisses on the baby bump when it starts to form and Aelin says he's freaking her out with being all "mushy" but secretly loves it
-Rowan refuses to leave her side especially as the pregnancy progresses
-He's terrified of something happening to her after Lyria
-It's only because of that Aelin bares with it
-she still complains about what a stubborn overbearing bastard he's being, but he's her stubborn overbearing bastard
-Fenrys and Lysandra get into an intense stare down on wether the baby will be a boy or a girl
-Lysandra thinks it'll be a girl
-Fenrys guesses it'll be a boy
-with the help of Aedion they make a bet
-If Fenrys wins Lysandra has to shift into Lorcan wearing a lime green tank top and bright pink shorts and walk around the castle like that
-If Lysandra wins Fenrys has to get a pedicure, complete with nail polish the color or Lysandra's choosing and flower designs
-Lorcan doesn't know about this bet
-For my baby Fenrys' safety you better hope he doesn't find out
-The word gets to Dorian and he sends a trunk full of children's books to read to the child, his personal favorite being "green eggs and ham" by Dr Seuss
-Not recognizing this tale Rowan asks how eggs can be green and Aelin laughs herself hoarse
-Sartag and Nesryn send a gift as well
-A cute stuffed animal that looks suspiciously like Rowan's other form
-Aelin wants to go out with Lysandra and shop for the baby because she needs some time with her bestie
-Rowan insists that he comes with or Aelin shouldn't go at all
-Aelin relents saying that he has to go into every shop she wants to go in, and no complaints
-Rowan scoffs at the request, as if he wouldn't go into a store with her
-He nearly throws up when Aelin and Lysandra enter a store that is a death trap of the most absurd shades of pastels
-he doesn't want to see another onesie that says "I wuv hugs" for the rest of his life
-Aelin's food cravings sends the cadre on errands across the continent
-Because the baby absolutely needed peanut butter covered strawberries from Fanharrow
-When Aelin is in the third trimester Rowan starts snarling at everyone who even comes near her or says one thing with a hint of disrespect
-He even snarls at Lysandra but Aelin flicks him on the nose for it and tells him to cool down or she'll send him to sleep with the dogs since he snarls like one
-speaking of dogs FLEETFOOT!!
-fleetfoot follows Aelin around and makes sure she's okay and brings her "presents"
-Rowan did not find the dead squirrel in their bed amusing
-Rowan is constantly asking her if she needs anything, more chocolate? A foot rub? Help tying her shoe laces?
-Aelin takes the first two and smacks his hand when he tries to tie her shoe laces for her
-Alein starts feeling the baby kick and is nothing short of cranky
-Despite that she lets Evangeline feel the baby kick her stomach, much to the girl's delight
-Aelin doesn't show it but she's both terrified (but excited) about having a baby/being a mother
-Aelin confesses this all to Aedion because she doesn't want any more worry on Rowan's shoulders
-Aedion reassures her she'll be an excellent mother and the child will have the best uncle in the world
-Rowan and Aelin sleep cuddled together in bed
-including massages for her back aches and Aelin melts into pure bliss under his firm hands
-Luckily Aelin wears his oversized shirt to fit over her enlarged belly and not her nightgown
-Rowan always has a hand laid on her stomach as if to assure himself her and the baby are still safe
-Aedion is playing a game of cards with his cousin, because they're both awful at cards so it's an even match of go fish
-Rowan is prowling the room like a panther because she's so close to the healer's best guess of a due date
-Aedion gets her jack of spades much to Aelin's glowering
-Then her water breaks
-She doesn't even tell them until she finished the game
-"Oh yeah by the way my water broke"
-Rowan's head whips around so fast it cracks
-Aedion's jaw drops "What? Just now?"
-Aelin shrugs. "No about five minutes ago"
-"WHAT!"
-Aelin is rushed to a room filled with midwives and Aedion calls Yrene from her room to come just in case anything goes wrong
-He had sent a message a couple weeks before so Yrene was staying in the castle while Chaol stayed to help Dorian
-Rowan doesn't know if he's breathing as he's waiting for the birth to start
-Aelin is pale and sweaty gripping Rowan's hand for dear life as she goes into labor
-Hearing her scream of pain as she pushes out as Yrene instructed sends Rowan's protective instincts into a frenzy
-He hates not being able to do anything to help take away her pain
-The baby comes out after multiple pushes and Aelin sobs through it, cussing Rowan out because the fucking baby needs to be gods-damned born already
-Rowan sends all the power he can into Aelin, anchoring her to the world, to the him; with their bond
-Then Rowan hears a cry not from Aelin but from his newly born daughter
-Yep it's a girl
-Fenrys is getting a peticure
-Aelin stops sobbing and falls back against the pillows, panting with exhaustion
-Rowan cradles the baby in his arms and hands her to Aelin after being snarled at "give me my daughter you buzzard"
-Aelin looks down at the bawling baby with its scrunched up face and meaty hands but nothing could be more beautiful
-"her name is..."
Thinking about Fenrys and Connall’s birthday and how broken Fenrys will feel on his first birthday without his twin
Rowan, after explaining a plan: Any questions?
Aedion: Why did my dad leave me?
Aelin: Is it possible for me to carry even more concealed daggers than I already am?
Fenrys: Why is it toothpaste not teethpaste?
Dorian: Can I fuck myself in female form?
Chaol: Why did my mother never try to get in contact with me?
Lysandra: What do I really look like?
Lorcan: WILL ELIDE EVER LOVE ME?
Elide: WILL LORCAN EVER LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE?
Gavriel: Will Aedion ever forgive me?
Manon: WILL ABRAXOS EVER STOP PLAYING IN THE FUCKING FLOWERS
Rowan: About the plan, guys, questions about the plan.
Lysandra: Good morning!
Gavriel: Good morning everyone!
Lorcan:...Good morning.
Evangeline: Good morning friends!
Aelin: You guys all sound like robots. “Good morning, good morning.” Spice it up a little!
Fenrys: HEY MOTHERFUCKERS.
They tell the story around campfires. In great halls. In kitchens. And in taverns. In the skies, on the desert plains, and in the howling mountains. They tell the stories to little girls and little boys. They tell the stories to future kings and queens. They tell the story of a ragtag band of misfits, mercenaries, thieves, and assassins. Of royal born and street urchins who fought side by side. They tell the story of the Queen who was promised.
They tell the legend of a mystical queen who could burn the world with her flames. Who had scars on her back and hands from her time as a slave. Who lived a double life as an assassin but came back for her people. Who banished the dark queen and brought back the light.
They tell the story of a long-awaited king who had powers the likes of which had not been seen for over a decade. Who defeated his predecessor and saved his subjects. Who was just and merciful and who had a penchant for knowledge. Who had once worn a collar around his neck and who had a phantom haunt him from the moment it came off.
They tell the story of a rejected lord who was once a guard. Who was the most loyal friend a man could ask for. Who believed in right and wrong. Who went on the run but stayed to help the people. Who went to the south unable to walk and returned with an army.
They tell the story of a warrior prince who was the fiercest in all the lands. Who once was the lackey of the dark queen but was the first to leave her side. Who had ice and wind running through his veins. And who wore the story of his shame for all the world to see.
They tell the story of a deadly queen who drank the blood of men. Who was spared by her enemy and waged war against her family. Who guided her people to peace and into a new age. And who united two races who wared for over a century.
They tell the stories of the women. Beauties and fighters. One who could change her skin like some put on a different outfit. One who always aimed her arrow straight and true. One who was saved by a queen in an alleyway and in turn saved another and then another and then another. One who was a beacon for her people from the moment she was born until the moment her life was snuffed out. One who ended the suffering of many and who saved thousands. One who trecked across the continent to find her lost queen and never gave up hope. And one who gave her life for a better world.
They tell the stories of the men. Legends and tall tales. Men who were the fiercest warriors in all the lands. Who once served the dark queen but left her for a brighter flame. A man who let the world think the worst of him, but always stood by his family. A man who rode the skies like some men walk the earth. A man who gave his life and heart for a woman he never indeed knew. But loved none the less.
They tell the stories of these men and women. These kings and queens. These gods and goddesses. They whisper them as the candlesticks melt into nothing. They chant them as rain stomps on the roofs. They murmur them on days when the winds are so loud they rattle the worlds. They recount them on nights when the snow is so thick you can’t even see your hand in front of you. They recite these stories on the killing fields bathed in blood. They quote these stories in books and by word of mouth to anyone who will listen. They hiss these stories in lands whose names have been forgotten. They proclaim these stories to their children and their children and their children. They remember the stories of Aelin Ashryver Galathynius and the sacrifices she made until night descends upon the realms.
Can I just say
Fenrys.
What a good lad what a man.
VERY glad that @sjmaas built the aelin fenrys friendship in koa and ACTUALLY CONTINUED IT THROUGHOUT. Because not to shit on her or anything but it’s not uncharacteristic of the genre to abandon a friendship once it’s served it’s purpose plot wise
