brad dourif characters x reader headcanons: pregnancy (fluff part 2)

ahh I knew I would forget some major thing on the pregnancy headcanons post! this one is mostly about… their reactions when they feel the baby kick! as usual I hope you all enjoy this offering. long post so cut added.

charles lee ray

• you’re lay on the sofa with your head in his lap watching some terrible re-run on tv
• the first kick startles you, until you realise what it was
• your hand goes to your bump to see if it happens again
• chucky notices your little movements
• “what’s got into you?”
• (you refrain from saying “your baby”, even if its true)
• you feel another kick and you grab his hand, moving it over the right spot
• “feel”
• “what’s wrong -” he cuts himself off when he feels the little kick beneath his hand “oh”
• he always gets really quiet while he’s feeling for kicks
• which surprises you because who’d have thought charles ray was so sensitive
• to be honest he just hasn’t fully processed the situation
• (and likely won’t until the baby is born)
• so these moments give him time to think
• he doesn’t mention it but after the first time his hands settle on your bump way more often
• he’s trying to feel for more kicks but doesn’t want to seem soft
• (you already know but spare him his pride)

jack dante

• his detached curiosity isn’t really solved by feeling tiny kicks but it does entertain him
• you’re eating dinner at like midnight in his office when you feel a jab
• you put your hand over your bump and feel little feet kicking
• he narrows his eyes at you, “what”
• “baby’s kicking” you look over at him “wanna feel?”
• he perks up, discarding the take out carton he is eating from on his desk and coming over to you
• for once he hands aren’t immediately grabbing at you and you have to take them yourself, placing them over your bump
• he smiles that sly smile of his when he feels movement
• its definitely more of a source of entertainment than a bonding experience
• but he seems to like it so every time the kicking starts you mention it and he comes running

sheriff bracket

• he has been waiting the whole pregnancy to start feeling kicks
• its another long, lazy night on the couch with his hands cradling your bump when he feels it
• “sweetie, was that - ?”
• you’re so excited as you put your hand over his and wait for the next kick
• “yeah, yeah i think it was”
• theres another kick and you squeal a little bit with happiness
• he gets so attached to the baby before its even born and feeling it kick around just boosts his Dad instincts
• so proud
• brags to anyone who will listen about for strong your little one is already
• when he talks to the bump he tries to persuade the baby to kick
• “c'mon, show daddy how strong you are”
• you joke around about it “stop encouraging them, i’ll never get any peace because they’ll be trying to show off for you”

billy bibbit

• you’re stood in the kitchen washing up after dinner
• he’d drying the dishes after you wash them when suddenly you feel it
• he’s worried something is wrong when you go still
• “is s-s-ssomething the matter?”
• “No, no, i think i felt a kick”
• “r-really?”
• you take his hands and put them over your bump, waiting for move movement
• billy stays quiet
• then he feels something !!
• he cant even speak for a moment whilst the baby moves beneath his hands
• cries a little bit
• “billy, are you okay?”
• “y-yeah, yeah i’m s-ssorry, i'mm j-just so hap-ppy”
• wants to keep you close as much as possible so he can be there to feel the baby every time

doc cochran

• you expect doc to be pretty professional about the whole thing
• keeping track of when you feel movement and checking that the movement seems healthy
• you’d felt movement before anyone could feel it from the outside
• but one day you feel a kick that is stronger than the others
• you immediately tell doc, who comes over from his desk and places a doctorly hand over the bit you point too
• he’s about to start asking genuine medical questions until he feels it
• a tiny kick under his hand
• he definitely cries
• which surprises you and scares you a little
• “is something wrong, doc?”
• “no, no, nothings wrong - the babys just kicking”
• you laugh, relieved “i know doc, i can feel it”
• he didnt think he’d get so emotional about it, but thats his child you’re carrying
• feeling for the first time this life you created together just hits different for him
• tries to pull himself together and be a good doctor (can he be anything else?)
• but his sentimentality just proves he loves you
• sometimes he’s out on call when you feel kicks
• you tell him about it all on the pretence that its for medical reasons but you know he just likes hearing about what the baby gets up to while he’s out

grima wormtongue

• his hands are on your bump 24/7 so it was impossible for him to miss the first kicks
• goes a little bit crazy feeling the baby move
• reminds him that you’re carrying his child and this is all truly happening
• now you’re pregnant you spend a lot of time in yours and grima’s quarters
• grima dodges doing any of his duties to come back and see you throughout the day
• “how is my sweet one”
• (is he talking about you or the baby? definitely the baby, im sorry)
• his hands are on you
• and finally, one day he feels something
• a kick
• his eyes go wide and even he can’t think of something to say
• “it seems they’re happy about their father’s return, they’ve been slumbering all day”
• you definitely play up the fact that the baby likes when grima is around
• because you know he gets insecure about whether he’ll be a good father

tommy ludlow

• he’s actually not around when the baby first kicks enough for anyone else to feel it
• when he gets home you tell him and he’s so annoyed with himself for missing it
• “dont worry, tommy, they’ll be more where that came from”
• its the middle of the night when the kicks start again and it wakes you up
• in the dark you shake tommy awake
• he wakes with a start, thinking something is wrong
• but you grab his hand an press it to your bump and he feels the kicks against his palm
• he sits up in bed and with you leaning back against his chest
• his arms are around you and he holds your bump
• feeling the kicks until you both fall asleep again

leo nova

• he’s not the softest soon-to-be dad around
• but when he first feels the baby kick that jump starts his Proud Dad emotions
• he’s away a lot so misses a lot of the movement
• and he’s emotionally repressed so doesn’t ask about it as much as he should
• but at night when you’re asleep he puts his hands on your bump and wills the baby to kick for him while its just the two of them

tucker cleveland

• another one who misses the first kicks
• he’s been at work all day and when he comes home you tell him
• “guess what happened today”
• “I don’t know, what happened today”
• “the little tyke started kicking”
• pretends he isn’t bothered that he wasn’t there but is secretly gutted
• he tries to nonchalantly keep his hands on your bump for the rest of the night to catch the next kick but the baby is messing with him apparently
• he has to wait for the next day
• you’re in the shower the next morning when you feel movement
• “tucker! come, quick!”
• he’s out of bed like a shot thinking you need help
• he whips back the shower curtain and sees you stood with your hand over your bump
• he realises what’s going on and replaces your hand with his own
• he feels tiny feet under his fingertips
• “well, well, well, kiddo” he mumbles, “aren’t you a strong little thing”
