Friday: birth

[bleodswean.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone. I’m bleodswean and today's theme is birth. As we "mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year" (Samhain), today's prompts are related to birth or re-birth. We end the week as a bookend to our first prompt!

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the spoiler cut.
If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
Russian Fairy Tales, BabaYaga, the chicken hut lays an egg
The Originals, Klaus and Hope, Klaus tells Hope a fairy tale about her birth
The Matrix, Neo, rebooting feels a lot like being born

We use AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2017 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? Check out Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 1 (not very current), Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet 2, or the Calendar Archives, or for more recent prompts, you can use LJ's advanced search options to find prompts to request and/or fill.

While the Lonely Prompts Spreadsheets and LJ's advanced search options are available, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching for in the future.

Russian Fairy Tales, BabaYaga, the chicken hut lays an egg

Fill: PG-13

[blythechild.livejournal.com]

Fires were one thing. Roof rot was another. And there were nesting squirrels and bats, and blocked chimneys, and inconvenient plumbing encumbrances. All of them were incredibly trying. Being a house in general was a terrible plight, as well as being less impressively ‘witchy’ than other incarnations. But it wasn’t a hut’s purpose to complain. Huts just endure.

Besides, who would listen to it bitch and moan all the way out in the middle of the Romincka Forest anyway?

But, as a hut, some indignities should’ve been beneath it. Like this one, which was, well… literally beneath it and threatening its fragile, boreal sense of calm. An egg. How did this happen? It was A HUT, for crying out loud! How does a hut gestate? And it only possessed chicken legs… It just wasn’t fair. There should be no eggs – NONE. Bring on the termites and mold instead.

The hut creaked in aggravation as it gingerly squatted above the offending offspring-in-waiting. It sighed loudly through its eaves. If one listened intently enough, it might have sounded like ‘fuck my life’. But once again, there was no one around to listen.

Then the egg rolled about.

The house bent lower, trying to see clearly through warped, dirty windows and ragged curtains.

‘Don’t you dare,’ it threatened in a gust of dried leaves and dust.

The egg hopped on the crispy, winter grass. Then it hopped again and the shell cracked.

‘Nonononono….’ The hut experienced a foreign, destabilizing effect that humans might have labelled as “panic”.

The shell cracked once more and a sliver fell away revealing a blinking, confused eye staring right back up into the dirty hut windows. Then, for the love of all that’s unholy and damningly inconvenient, it spoke its first word.

“Mamochka…” it peeped quietly and blinked in an adoring way from its shell.

The hut staggered on its chicken legs and made its floorboards squeal as it sagged despondently. It tried to look skyward, but huts don’t have necks.

‘Fuck my life,’ it wheezed into the night breeze, and below it something giggled.

Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, being there for the birth of his baby (no mpreg please)

Hawaii Five-O, Steve McGarett/Danny Williams

[jdl71.livejournal.com]

Steve's phone rang before going straight to voicemail. Not caring, Danny called again, repeatedly until Steve picked up. "What Danny? What's so important . . ." Danny cut him off. "I'm almost to headquarters. Be outside. Cassandra's in labor." Danny said before ending the call, leaving Steve to stare in bewilderment at his cell. Then, his brain got the message and he sprung into action. "Hey, where's the fire?" Gerry called as Steve sprinted past him, stopping long enough to call out. "Cassandra's in labor. Our babies about to be born." And then he was gone, running to meet Danny.

Danny's car came to a stop, long enough for Steve to jump in before they were off, break-neck speed to the hospital. There was no way they were missing the birth of their baby. They had waited to find out the sex, wanting to be surprised when he or she greeted them. Today was the day and both were anxious to meet the new member. But, first they had to get there. The ride was a blur and the parking job was haphazard at best, neither caring as the sprinted to the front door.

Steve got to the front desk first. "Maternity? Our baby is being born. Now!" The woman barely had the directions out before they were running down the hall to the elevators. Steve pressed the button repeatedly, will it to get there, like yesterday. They bounded in, Danny pacing as the car took its sweet time getting to the sixth floor. They jumped out, running to the check in desk. Speaking over each other trying to explain their presence. "Okay, calm down. Then I'll take you to Cassandra's room." They nodded at the nurse who gave them a kind and understanding smile. She motioned them to follow her as she led them to room 605.

They entered, greeted by several staff members tending to the woman in labor. They were given disposable gown and told to stay out of the way. Cassandra held out her hands to them, wanting them to join her. They each took a hand, offering comfort as her body was racked with pain. Before long the room was filled with the joyous sound a crying newborn. "Gentleman, which of you would like to cut the umbilical cord for your daughter?" The doctor asked. "Steve would." Danny said, looking at his husband. He knew how much this meant to Steve, who would never have asked. Danny had already had that honor when Grace was born. It was Steve's turn.

With Shaking hands, Steve took the surgical scissors and place them where the doctor indicated. With a quick snip, the deed was done and the baby was washed and swaddled before being given to Steve's waiting arms. Steve walked over to Danny who was already thanking Cassandra for the gift she had given them. Steve placed a gentle kiss on his daughter's head before handing her over to Danny. Both men stood together, Steve's arms around Danny as they held their child. "Welcome to our family, Sage." Danny said feeling a surge of overwhelming love for the tiny being in his arms.

Aww, excited new daddies! I love it, thank you! And thanks for the Cassandra shout-out, even if it was unintentional. ::grins::

You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Cassandra is a a character I created as their surrogate for a few other fills from prompts like this. But, hey, if it made you smile, all the better!
