KayBlackthorn ""Trust my luck for that to happen" About the birth control rune failing after Los and Emma getting pregnant and telling Jules." Of course, here you go
Despite knowing that they shouldn't, Emma and Jules had had sex for a third time, and like the previous times, they hadn't used protection, relying on Emma's birth control rune. But like so much in their lives, things hadn't gone to plan. She'd begun to feel off - her back ached, she was more tired and had been sick in the mornings on a couple of occasions. She'd gone to Cristina, as she needed to talk to someone. It had been Cristina who had convinced her to get a pregnancy test, and had been with her when she'd done it and had seen it come up with a positive result. Emma had promptly burst into tears.
"You need to tell Julian" Cristina had told Emma as she had held her friend. "I can't! Not with everything that's happened lately. It would only be cruel" Emma had argued. Cristina had expected this response. What with the discovery of the parabatai curse, Annabel and the black book of the dead, the threat of war from the Unseelie King and Livvy's death, to say life had taken a turn for the worse would have been an understatement. "Emma you need to listen to me. Jules is going to find out one way or another. Your parabatai, and are soon going to start changing body shape. It's his baby you're carrying, he has a right to know if not for any other reason than that" Cristina argued. Realising her friend was right, Emma went to find Julian.
It hadn't taken long for her to find him. Jules had taken one look at Emma, and on seeing the after effects of her crying, had pulled her in for a hug, and kissed her softly on the top of her head. "Em, what's the matter?" he asked gently. Emma took a small step back so she could look at him properly. "The birth control rune didn't work Jules. I'm pregnant. Trust my luck for it to happen" she said, half laughing at the last part because she didn't know what else to do. Jules frowned then, taking in her news. "Pregnant Em, you sure?" he asked. Emma nodded, then added "I was feeling off, and Cristina made me take a pregnancy test. It came out positive" she explained.
Jules just grinned then. "I'm going to be a Dad. A proper, actual Dad" he managed to get out. Emma grinned then and nodded. "Yeah you are" she replied, a small forming on her face. Jules dropped to his knees then and rested his forehead on Emma's stomach where their child was forming. Damn everything else going on in their lives, this baby was going to be a good thing. Maybe their lives were going to take a change for the best.
