Ask Ghost!!

I actually got two asks like this, so I will make a separate post about them being active fathers! :) 

I also answered the first part of the question of the Papas reacting to the news of a pregnancy! You can read that here --> [Link]!

The only thing I will add is POPIA reacting, because I think he is going to take it a lot differently now that he is finally Papa. Enjoy! <3 

(Also I’m going to tag this for pregnancy! )

Papa Emeritus IV reacting to his S/O being pregnant

~ Even before he was Papa, Copia deep down always wanted a family. Work and his ambitions also took his priority, so he never allowed himself to dwell on it too much. He knew one day, when he became Papa, he would be given a prime mover at the very least and his bloodline would continue. 

~The fact that it is YOU, his beloved partner, that turns out to be pregnant with his first heir is a joy he could never put into words. 

~Don’t be surprised when he falls to his knees and praises Lucifer right then and there, holding you close and putting his ear to your stomach. Copia will kiss it and hold you protectively, diligent of the life you now carry! 

~He’s normally a very private man but this is one of the rare occasions he will announce his life to everyone. Throws a huge celebration for the fact that you are pregnant and that his bloodline is OFFICIALLY starting. Even Imperator wants to help plan the event, as it’s a crucial moment in their new era! Later he will laugh and apologize that he jumped the gun, he’s just so excited!! 

Oooooh boy! You’ll have them both worried!!

Also just some trigger tags for Pregnancy, cause I know it squicks some peeps out!

Papa III and Papa IV/Copia finding out their partner has gone into labor mid Ritual!

Papa III: 

~Papa wasn’t too keen on going on tour while you were in such delicate condition. After all, pregnancy was not something you could just BAM- plan on dates and work around it. You assured him you would be fine and that it was just a short tour. After all, the little bundle of joy wasn’t due until a month or so after he was due to return!

~... or so everyone thought. Just like Papa, your baby has impeccable timing. 

~He was mid Ritual when the intermission hit and a nervous assistant ran up to him with a cell phone. Imperator called him personally to let him know you had gone into labor (she’s pretty involved in any and all potential heir raising.) At first he thought it was a joke, but panicked when he realized he was speaking to Sister- and she NEVER jokes. Not helped by the fact she was in outside your private room while you were yelling about contractions. 

~”GET THE CAR- GET THE CAR I NEED TO GO TO THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW!!” 

~Backstage is in chaos as everyone scrambles. Papa NEVER just leaves during a show, even if he has a wicked hang over or is sick! But the man is sprinting to the back trying to get a private jet back to you! Papa doesn’t want to leave you alone while you’re giving birth!! 

~The show intermission lasts so long, and fans almost get confused and upset! What’s taking the band so long?? Why is there is there an announcement asking for an extra thirty minutes? 

~Eventually Papa gets back on stage, full of energy and bouncing around! The ghouls seem a bit nervous, but the Ritual finishes... but none of the fans will ever know it wasn’t Papa on stage! Let’s say the man called in a favor, and Special happens to know shape shifting AND all the Ghost songs by heart! ;)

~Unfortunately for you, labor drags on so long that it gives him time to rush in by your side. Maybe if you weren’t in excruciating pain you would have been more happy to see him! But hours of labor and pain just mean you practically throttle him in the delivery room for doing this to you in the first place! 

~Eventually the new Emeritus heir is born and wrapped in your arms, with your Papa holding you both. You almost want to bop Papa on the head when he asks the baby if he couldn’t have waited just a few more days! “You could have given your Papa a little notice, no?”  

Papa IV/Cardinal Copia:

~Absolutely did NOT want to leave your side the entire pregnancy. Copia is the type of partner to be more worried than you are, and you are the one carrying the child! But Copia has never thought he would be lucky enough to have children, let alone the heir to a new bloodline HE started! 

~You were the one who convinced him to go on tour. Not just because the High Clergy and Sister Imperator were breathing down his neck. As much as you would miss him, you were happy to have a little space while he did a small European tour. Besides, the baby would be fine while he continued to work hard! You and Copia had all the time to enjoy the birth after he got back. 

~Imagine your shock when you go into labor the first night of the tour, mid show! You almost wanted to keep it a secret, as did Imperator so Copia could FOCUS on doing his job. But word got back to him immediately. 

~Copia caught wind of it RIGHT before Ghost was to take the stage. Much to the annoyance of fans, the opening band got to play more songs. Copia tried his best to get out of the venue to fly home to you immediately, but was not permitted by the high clergy (something he has never forgiven them for.)

~Instead Copia locked himself in his dressing room and face timed you the entire time, crying and gently speaking to you and helping coach you through it. 

~One hour and an angry crowd later, the baby was born and you were practically passed out. Copia was dragged out to continue the show when he found out the baby was healthy and being cleaned. 

~Your dear Cardinal manages to finish the show without being TOO distracted! In the end he checks up on you and the baby during intermission, and then again after the Ritual is over. He knows it’s not very long but he decides to fly home to meet his newborn heir before he’s forced back on the road. It’s a brief two days but one you both cherish.

~When he becomes Papa he makes the life of everyone who kept him from meeting his child miserable. You have no complaints and find it rather funny!
