"tell baba what is wrong please" lz begs a-yuan. he's been sad for a few days & lz can't bear to see it

his son stares at him, teary eyes breaking his heart "baba"

lz nods encouragingly

"did you and a-die not want me?"

lz sucks in a shocked breath

"a-yuan, of course we wanted you. your a-die and i were so excited when you were growing in his tummy. we couldn't wait to meet you"

his precious boy looks hopeful "really?"

he pulls a-yuan onto his lap, stroking his hair "of course. why would you believe otherwise?"

his little lip trembles "becoz you and a-die said you hope the baby is a girl. but I'm a boy. I thought you didn't want me"

lz blinks rapidly to stop his tears from falling "we always want you. you're our son, our little radish. we love you so much"

then he tries to explain

"baba and a-die have a son already so we thought it would be nice to have a little girl this time so we have one of each. it doesn't mean we love you any less. if the baby is a boy, we will still be so happy. and we will love you both the same"

"and if the baby is a girl, we will love you and her equally. what matters to us is you are our children and are healthy and happy"

a-yuan nods and snuggles into lz's chest. lz needs to talk to wy, so they can both reassure their little radish

after bath time and a bed time story, a-yuan is snoring lightly. they stand together in his room, watching their son sleep soundly

he can't see wy's face. he's stood behind him, chin on wy's shoulder, hands resting on the swell of his tummy

but he /knows/ he has that soft smile he gets when he watches a-yuan sleep

the proud, awed look that they made him, such a sweet, caring little boy

"wei ying, let's go to bed" he whispers

wy's hand reaches up to filter through lzs hair. he sighs softly before nodding "okay"

lz smiles tenderly. he knows wy would stand here all night watching him sleep but lz knows he's tired

the heat and pregnancy zapping his energy away

once they're in bed, wy's head resting on his chest, lan zhan finally brings up his earlier conversation with a-yuan

his husband bursts into tears immediately. lz hums the song he wrote for them and wipes his tears away, stroking his belly soothingly

"i didn't know he would think that. I should have known. My poor baby must have been feeling so rejected" wy cries

lz shakes his head "wy. It is not our fault. Nor a-yuan's. We don't know the things that go through children's minds. What we can do now is reassure him that we will always love him, no matter what"

wy sniffles "your right. as always"

lz huffs in laughter at wy's wink

his body finally relaxes now that he knows his husband has calmed down

the next morning, they wake a-yuan up together

"little radish, wakey wakey" wy yells, cooing when their son yawns, rubbing at his eyes

"tired" he complains as his head hits the pillow again

"ah lan zhan, my wonderful husband, I guess it will just be us having pancakes for breakfast then. Our little radish wants to sleep longer" wy whispers yells, teasing smile on his face

as expected, a tiny head pops up "pancakes?!"

at their nod, a-yuan claps loudly

"can I have chocolate?" he begs, excited

wy nods "only if you have banana too"

a-yuan jumps up out of bed "yayyyy!"

lz meets wy's eyes, both smiling fondly

they let a-yuan help mix the pancake batter, let him place his chocolate chips into a smile, let him flip the pancake

they laugh and smile and joke as they prepare and eat breakfast

a-yuan roars with laughter when wy squirts cream onto lz's nose

lz shakes his head in amusement at them, wiping it off before licking his finger

after breakfast, they take him to the park for a picnic

they play with him for a bit, then sit on the small blanket as he goes on the slide 100 times, never getting bored

when wy shouts him over for a snack, he looks at a-yuan, question in his eyes

lz nods

wy swallows "little radish, baba told me something yesterday"

a-yuan looks at him in confusion "what?"

that simple question settles lz. reassures him that his words to a-yan helped settle his worries

wy plucks a-yuan up and settles him on his legs, facing him "that you thought we didn't want you"

a-yuan's stares at wy, mouth open

wy wiggles his legs, making a-yuan giggle as he is jostled to the side and back

"baba and i love you. always and forever, okay? never doubt that"

a-yuan nods as he grins shyly

wy kisses his nose "no matter if the baby is a girl or a boy, we will love you both"

wy tells him seriously "if the baby is a boy then you'll be our best big boy and the baby will be our best little boy

if it's a girl, then you will be our best boy and she will be our best girl. do you understand?"

lz blinks and nods "you love baby and me"

"exactly!"

lz finally joins in the conversation "a-yuan, you were a big brave boy this time, telling us how you felt. you should always do that in the future so we can reassure you. mn?"

a-yuan giggles "okay baba!"

wy cuddles a-yuan for a moment before he starts wriggling

"slide!" he shouts

wy laughs as he let's go of him, them both watching his tiny legs run as he makes his way to the slide

lz slides closer to wy, wrapping his arm against his waist "we are so lucky to have such an incredible child"

wy turns to meet his gaze, smile in his eyes

"we really are! it's the combination of our perfect genes!"

normally lz would jokingly hiss shamless, but this time he can't disagree "mn"

wy looks shocked for a moment before he shakes his head. he leans up and places a soft kiss on lz's lips

wy breaths out in amazement "how did i get so lucky?"

lz kisses his temple "i'm the lucky one"

wy giggles "let's just agree we're both lucky!"

"mn" lz agrees, eyes landing on his son

5 months later, and a-yuan is finally introduced to his younger sister, lan lian

he takes his older brother duties seriously, begging his parents to let him help feed his mei mei

then when she's older, he teaches her how to play football, how to plait her hair and how to count to ten

when she's in high school, he frightens all the bad boys away, only allowing the best for his sister

she rolls her eyes at him but leaves him be until she decides she wants to date his best friend, oyyz

then he gives in with a pout and gives them his "permission"

lz & wy just watch on fondly, so glad their children get along so well

they really are the lucky ones

/end/

sobs because my mum had a similar conversation with my nephew now that my sister is pregnant again 😭😭

children are so precious and need reassuring they're loved daily
