Summary
The child is on Wyll’s mind every second of every day. He remembers the shape of her in the scrying pool at the local hedge witch’s shack, curled in on herself like a sleeping puppy. He remembers Astarion pressing an ear to his abdomen and imitating the sound of her heartbeat in an awed whisper. She’s all he’s ever longed for, the only part of his dread destiny he ever actively wanted to fulfill.
Astarion is his precious lodestar, his dearest love, but she’s gaining on him day by day. (He tells Astarion this because he expects to find his sour expression adorable. He does.)
He loves her, and every night he lies awake in a puddle of his own sweat and hopes she will be dead by morning.
(In an AU where Wyll is Bhaal's former chosen, he becomes pregnant with Astarion's child. Though he wants to keep it at first, he struggles as it becomes clear to him that she's inherited his murder urges.)
