Request:  If you take requests, may I request Edmund P. as a dad headcanon/fic like how he’d be while your pregnant and how he’d figure it out and just that whole process? I’m not sure if you have rules so if so I apologize if you don’t do these things

A/N: Hello! I was so happy to get a request and to write another Edmund fic. I had a lot of fun writing this and hope you all enjoy it. Oh and just so everyone knows, I don’t really have rules when it comes to requests. I do have a list of things I’d like to write for and can write for. But I’m pretty open as to what I’ll write for. If you request something I know nothing about or I have some sort of issue with (doubt that’ll ever happen) I’ll try and contact you.  You can also request moodboards! Happy read and enjoy!

Y/n Pevensie was lying in bed, pretending to still be asleep, with her husband, Edmund Pevensie. She could feel the morning sunlight on her face and her husband move beside her. It wasn’t long until she felt light kisses on her neck, “Y/n, I know you’re awake by the smile that you’re making,” he said as he continued to kiss her neck.

“Mmmm… But it is too early for either of us to be awake right now,” Y/n rolled over to give her husband a kiss when all of a sudden she felt sick. She bolted out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom covering her mouth as she ran. Unbeknownst to Edmund, this wasn’t the first time this had happened to Y/n. No, this had been going on for about a week, but Edmund had just returned from a trip to Archenland. So he had not noticed it yet. 

He got out of bed and went to the bathroom where Y/n was currently puking her guts out. He looked at her with his face full of concern. He held her hair back for her, “Y/n, love, are you alright? Shall I send for the doctor?”

She waved him off, “No need. I think this is from last night’s dinner. I was feeling a bit queazy and then sat up too suddenly this morning. I’ll be ok,” she lied. She had a feeling she knew what was going on but she didn’t want to give Edmund false hope. 

“Alright love if you say so,” Edmund then kissed the top of her hair and put her hair back down. She cleaned up while he got dressed for the meeting he had with Peter. Right before he headed out he turned back towards his wife, “Are you sure you’re alright love? I can always tell Peter you aren’t feeling well and spend the day with you,”

“No, don’t worry about me. I’m completely alright. If it’ll make you feel better, I’ll spend the day taking it easy,”

“Yes, that would make me feel loads better. Now,” he gave her a short but sweet kiss, “I will see you tonight,”

Y/n laughed and gave him another kiss before Edmund headed out for the day. It wasn’t long before she too was heading out for the day. But she wasn’t going to her normal tea with Lucy and Susan. She was on her way to the castle’s doctor. Y/n was very careful not to be seen by anyone. When she got there, the doctor was not at all surprised to see her. “Ah, Lady Y/n. I was expecting to see you sometime soon,”

The doctor gave her a quick exam and also drew some blood. After a few minutes, he came back to tell her his news, “Well I think congratulations are in order. You are with child, you’re about 6 weeks along. It’s still too early to give you a gender but it looks like you and the baby are exceptionally healthy. Would you like me to grab King Edmund for you?”

“No that’s alright. I think I will tell my husband the good news after his meeting with Peter. Is there anything I should be doing differently?”

“Well, I think because you suspect you’re pregnant, you cut off alcohol already. But I would continue to eat a healthy diet, a little less caffeine so try to aim for no more than two cups of tea, and make sure you don’t push yourself too hard. Stress can be back for the baby,” 

“Of course. Thank you, doctor!” Y/n said as she left his office. The first thing she wanted to do was tell Edmund before word spread. So she went to go find him after his meeting. 

It wasn’t long until the meeting let out. Edmund was walking out of the room with two of his advisors. They looked to be talking about something important because Edmund’s eyebrows were scrunched together as they walked and talked. But the second he saw Y/n, his face relaxed. He turned to his advisors, “Gentlemen if you will excuse. I think my loving wife needs me,” 

They bowed to him and walked in the other direction. Y/n smiled at her husband as he walked over. As soon as he reached her he gave her a kiss, “That meeting looked important. Are you sure you have a minute to talk?” asked Y/n

“Of course I can spare a minute for my wife. What kind of husband or king would I be if I didn’t? Now, are you alright? Are you feeling better from this morning?”

“Yes much better. We have something to celebrate and I was going to get us some champagne but it wouldn’t make sense because I’m no longer allowed alcohol,” and then Y/n just smiled at him. She could see the gears turning in his head as he tried to decode what she was saying.

“What are we celebrating? And why can’t you have…” he trailed off. Then his eyes suddenly got really big and he paled. Y/n then grew worried that he was going to be angry at her or something. But he just kept staring at her, “You’re… you’re… you’re pregnant? Is this actually happening? Are you sure?”

Y/n just nodded still worried that he might be upset. She was also now concerned she just sent him into shock. But then she let out a squeal as Edmund picked her up and spun her around.

“Oh my god!!! You’re pregnant!!! I just can’t believe it!!! I’m so happy!!! I’m going to be a father,” Edmund said with the biggest smiled Y/n had ever seen. He just smiled and bent down to talk to her stomach, “Hello little one, this is your dad speaking to you,”

Y/n laughed, “I don’t think it works that way dear,” 

“Well it’s worth a shot,” he said while standing back up, “Is there anything I can do to help? Should I put more maids on your service? Oh god, does anyone else?”

“Just you and the doctor at the moment. I wanted to tell you in person first before I told Susan and Lucy. They’ll be ecstatic to hear it,”

“Yes, I imagine they will be. Are you sure there isn’t anything I can do? I could reassign some of your work to your or my advisors,”

Y/n shook her head, “No please no. You know how much I like to have something to do in the castle. For now, I guess you could do some research on childcare. But that’s only if you want too,”

Edmund nodded and they walked off to tell their family the good news. Lucy and Susan were overjoyed and wanted to throw a ball. But Edmund and Y/n said no because they didn’t want to make a big deal about it yet. Y/n also wanted to make sure she made it to the second trimester before the rest of the kingdom would be told. Everyone was happy for the couple and they were overjoyed as well since they had been trying to have a child for a while now. 

Edmund did exactly what Y/n suggested. He did TONS of research on childcare, pregnancy, parenting, ways to help his wife with the birth, etc. Basically, anything he could get his hands on, he learned. He wanted to be prepared to help in any way he could. While he knew his wife was perfectly capable of handling everything herself, he still wanted to be part of the process. When she reached her the end of her second trimester, he ordered the maids to be there for her around the clock. He even cancelled his yearly trip to the lone island to stay with his wife and unborn child. When Y/n’s belly was the size of a very large pumpkin, he did everything he could to help her. Every night when Y/n’s feet were swollen, he would sit with her and give her feet a massage. Everything was going perfectly smoothly until one night.

Y/n was brushing her hair while standing in front of the mirror. Edmund was lying in bed reading a book while listening to Y/n hum. All of a sudden she stopped humming, Edmund looked up from his book, “Sweetheart, are you alright?”

And that was when he noticed the water pooling around her feet. “Um yes, I think so. But I believe my water just broke,” then she gasped in pain, “GO GET THE DOCTOR!!!” 

Edmund ran out of the room as fast as he could. He ran down the hall and straight for the doctor’s room. They had temporarily moved his room just down the hall when Y/n reached her eighth month. He banged on the door as loud as he could, “DOCTOR! HER WATER BROKE AND NOW SHE’S IN A LOT OF PAIN! WE THINK SHE’S GONE INTO LABOUR!!” 

By now, almost everyone in that hall was awake. Susan came out in a dressing gown looking annoyed, Peter rushed down the hall, while putting a shirt back on, to where Edmund was, and Lucy popped her head out her door. “What’s going on?” she asked

“Y/n has gone into labour!” yelled Edmund as he and the doctor rushed down to her room. They were soon followed by Peter, Susan, and Lucy. Upon reaching the room. They saw that Y/n had made it to the bed and was breathing heavily. 

She let out a cry of pain, “AHHHH!!! EDMUND PEVENSIE, I AM GOING TO FUCKING MURDER YOU FOR MAKING ME GO THROUGH THIS SHIT!!! AHHHH!!!”

Lucy and Susan shook their heads, laughing, as they each took on of her hands. They began helping her calm down. “Lady Y/n, how long have you had contractions?”

“I don’t know maybe an… HOUR!!! FUCK THIS HURTS!!!”

The doctor nodded. Then the midwives and a few other maids entered the room. It had gone from just Edmund and Y/n to a whole crowd of people in their room in a matter of minutes. Lucy and Susan both turned to Peter and gave him a nod. Slowly Peter took Edmund’s arms and began leading him out of the room, “Come on now Ed. Let’s give them some space to work,”

“Wait what? We’re not staying?” Edmund cried as Peter continued to lead him out

“No, we’re not. They need space to work. There are too many people here right now. Come on, we’ll just outside the door,”

Edmund was about to protest but he knew that there were too many people in the room. The second the door was shut, Edmund began pacing back and forth. Time felt like it had stopped and what felt like a whole year was only an hour or two. As time passed, Edmund became more and more frightened. He knew and had been preparing for this day. But part of him still couldn’t help being scared and worried that everything was about to go wrong. He worried that he wouldn’t be a good father. He was scared that his wife was going to die during childbirth, he read too many books on the risks of childbirth. And most importantly, he was terrified at what was coming next. Peter could see the worry and fear growing in Edmund’s eyes as he continued to pace faster. So he did what any older brother would do, “Edmund! Stop! You’re going to make yourself worry sick,”

“But Pete, I already am worried sick. What if something goes wrong and Y/n or the baby doesn’t make it through? What if I’m a terrible father?”

Peter shook his head, “You are talking nonsense. We have some of the best doctors in there that are going to take excellent care of Y/n and the baby. As for if you’ll be a terrible father…  well, that’s also a no brainer. You’re going to be an amazing dad. I know you’re worried but you shouldn’t. I’ve seen the way you act with kids when you and Y/n went on the trip to the schools. You were amazing and the kids love you. This won’t be that much different,” 

“But what if–” he was cut off by a very loud and painful scream that came from Y/n. Edmund immediately went into protective mode and tried to get back in the room. Peter grabbed him before he could do anything stupid. “Get off me, Pete! Let me go to my wife!”

“Oh my god! Calm down for like two seconds. She’s ok and nothing went wrong–” then the two men fell silent as they heard a crying baby coming from the room. “See I told you, nothing bad happened,”

“Shut up,” said Edmund as they both head towards the door. One of the midwives opened it allowing them in. 

Upon entering they saw both Lucy and Susan comforting Y/n who was holding a bundle of blankets. The little bundle was crying and Y/n looked sweaty and exhausted. But she still looked up at Edmund and gave him a weak smile. The doctor then turned to Edmund, “You have a son your majesty. Congratulations,”

Edmund grinned. He walked over to Y/n and Lucy stepped aside so Edmund could meet his new son. The little boy was pink and still crying, but he had the tiniest of hands that were reaching out towards Edmund. “He’s perfect,”

“I know. Now we just need a name,” Y/n said as she laid back down on the pillows

“You can name him after me! Peter the second is a fabulous name,” exclaimed Peter and he looked at the baby that was now in Edmund’s arms.

Both Edmund and Y/n shook their heads. Besides, Edmund wasn’t concerned with naming the child at the moment. No, he was just happy that everything had gone smoothly. As he held the little bundle of joy, all he could think about was how happy and lucky he was to have such an amazing family. His siblings were his life support and always there when he needs them most. His wife was the love of his life and his light that brought him peace and comfort. But now, his son was going to become his pride and joy. He couldn’t wait for the future that now lay ahead of him.
