Author's Note: Ok I am really in love with Fire Emblem Fates, but unfortunately since I live in the United States I have to wait until 2016 for it to come out. So I will just have to make due with fanfiction to keep myself busy… well that and college. Anyway, one of my OTP's for the female avatar is definitely F!KamuixJoker (F!CorrinxJakob, but the Japanese names sound better). While I do love the game, I do find the plot in which the future children grow up in alternate realms rather than coming directly from the future not as impacting as Fire Emblem Awakening. Nevertheless, I will have the future children come into place AFTER the war rather than during like in the paralogues. By the way, this follows the Invisible Kingdom route so all the siblings are alive~!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem, its characters, or any content whatsoever, just the story I made up.

Expecting

It had been two years since the war between Hoshido and Nohr came to an end with the resurrection of Touma, the once invisible kingdom. With everyone united, the realms finally face an era of peace and prosperity. Princess Kamui, the one responsible for bringing peace to the lands, is now queen of Touma along with her husband Jakob, her butler. Though being married to her would mean that Jakob is king of Touma, he adamantly refuses the title and desires to maintain his status as Kamui's butler. Kamui couldn't be happier ruling the country with the one she loved.

After two years, a subject appeared out of the blue. Though Kamui was excited she was also nervous about her husband's reaction. While Jakob is an incredibly capable butler, he can at times be a tad over-bearing when it came to her. She wasn't sure how he'll react to the news. This was why she wanted to approach the topic delicately.

One spring day she and her husband were at the rooftop garden of the palace. Jakob was serving her green tea with a chocolate mousse cake. Kamui stared into the garden that was brimming with roses, tulips, daffodils, and various other flowers that were blended by Nohr and Hoshido origin.

"Jakob," she addressed her husband.

"Yes my dear?" He asked with a smile. Kamui remembered it took him months before he stopped calling her 'my lady.'

"I received a letter from Ryouma that Shinonome just turned two."

"Oh is that right?" He poured her a cup of tea.

"Yeah, he said that Rinkah once fell asleep with Shinonome in her arms after some training. I wish I could've seen it." She smiled to herself. Rinkah was one of the strongest warriors in Hoshido, her strength combined with hidden gentleness was what made Ryouma fall for her. To hear her fall asleep with her son, it's rare that someone so strong could have cute moments like that.

Jakob mirrored her smile. Personally, he didn't really care about what some of the former army was up to, but seeing his wife so happy he couldn't help but feel warm and elated.

Kamui continued, "Oh, and I found out that Xander and Belka just had their son Siegbert. I already wrote my congratulations, but I want to see him as soon as I can."

Jakob chuckled. "Goodness, if I didn't know better my dear I would say you experiencing some baby fever."

Kamui blushed and averted her eyes. She cleared her throat. "Um, speaking of kids Jakob, I was wondering how you would feel if you became a father?"

He raised an eyebrow and gave her an amused smile. "What type of question is that? Any child of yours I would love as dearly as you." He paused then muttered to himself, "Though you'll maintain a permanent place in my heart."

"Pardon?" She asked.

"Oh nothing, nothing," he brushed it off. "But why ask?"

Kamui gulped, her face was as red as a tomato. She gingerly took Joker's right hand and placed it on her stomach. "I'm pregnant."

Jakob's eyes widened. For a few moments his face was frozen with shock. Kamui waved a hand in front of him starting to get a little worried. "Er, Jakob?"

After a few more moments Jakob fainted and fell on the ground.

"J-Jakob!"

Jakob woke up, finding himself in his and Kamui's room. He sluggishly rose and rubbed his eyes. He turned his head to the right to find Kamui sitting beside, her back facing him. He then recalled what happened that afternoon. "Kamui?"

She turned with a couple tears in her eyes. He flinched and immediately put his hands on her cheeks to wipe them away. "Kamui, are you alright?"

She looked down, her face disheartened. "Did the idea of having a child really hurt you that badly?"

"Hurt me?" He asked feeling more confused than before.

She sniffled. "You fainted. Just because I told you I was pregnant."

That's when Jakob realized the situation. "That's nonsense," he assured her. He felt himself flush with embarrassment. "It's just that, it feels like it happened too soon." Although they have been married for two years now, he cherished their time together. He flinched when he saw her tear up again. "I'm not upset really." He took her hands in his. "It's just that… I don't know if I'm worthy to be a father."

Now it was her turn to be confused. "What do you mean?"

He watched her solemnly. "You recall my past, that I came from a former Nohr aristocratic family? After they fell into bankruptcy, they sold me into the services of King Garon. My parents didn't bat an eye when they sent me away. Not that I really cared, we didn't really have a family relationship to begin with. But because of that, I don't know how to be a parent, how to raise a child as my own."

Ironically, he remembered when Sir Gunter came for him, his parents didn't even bother to be there to send him off. It was when he came into Lady Kamui's service that he shrugged off his dour past and found solace. If Kamui and he were to have a child, would he be able to be a proper father? Earlier he only said he would love their child because he thought it was far-off dream to have children. But with Kamui stating she was pregnant, for the first time he felt scared that there was a chance he would fail her.

Kamui said nothing. She simply watched him, her tears had already faded. Suddenly, Jakob was caught off guard when she held him tenderly. It took a moment before he embraced her back.

"That's not true," she said soothingly. "It's a first for me too you know? I have no idea how to be a parent either. In fact the closest thing I had to parents growing up were Xander and Camilla. When I found out Queen Mikoto was my real mother, I wasn't sure how to feel about it at first. It was shocking, but I had grown up without a mother almost my whole life. And when I lost her the day after, I felt like a part of me shattered knowing that I never got a chance to really know her."

Jakob buried his head in her hair and squeezed her gently. She continued, "When both of my siblings wanted me to choose who to fight for right after my birth mother died, I couldn't bear the thought of fighting for one side only to lose more of my family. When you followed my choice along with Azura, I was happy. At first, I wasn't sure if I made the right choice choosing neither, but the support from the both of you encouraged me to restore the peace for both kingdoms."

She backed up a little and looked into his eyes. "It's a new journey that both of us are getting into. Can I count on you to support me again?"

His heart felt like it was overflowing with warmth. He embraced once more and stroked her hair. "What a foolish question. I never stopped supporting you. As you said, it's a new journey. I'll be more than happy to embark on it with you." He broke his head away, leaned in and kissed her soft, pink lips.

When Kamui and Jakob announced to the residents of the castle of her pregnancy, everyone was over-joyed. Letters of the news were immediately sent to her Nohr and Hoshido siblings as well. Felicia and Silas were the first to congratulate her.

Silas held their baby girl, Sophie, while Felicia raced over to Kamui, grabbed her hands and said ecstaticly, "I'm so happy for my lady! If you would like, I'll help every step of the way during your pregnancy!"

Jakob snatched his wife away from her and glared daggers at the poor maid with a face that rivaled an oni mask, "You are not to go anywhere near her you bumbling klutz!"

"Awawawa!" Felicia cried.

"Jakob," Kamui sighed.
