Yes. Fear looks different. I got inspired by the dark academia aesthetic.

Now, reader won't exactly be 'pregnant' exactly since.. Well we all know what Fear does.

(*cough* sexual cannibalism *cough cough*)

Let's just say, I got inspired by a drider fanfic I read recently, and you'll have to read to find out.

Thank you for the request hun!

Enjoy~!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The house was pleasantly warm, warm like a fire on a winters night. It smelled of old books and a pinch of cinnamon.

You sat on the sofa with a book in your lap, the flat screen across from you playing some nature show with the volume low.

"Darling?" You hear the soft voice of your mate. Fear was his known nickname for his arachnid appearance.

However, he only let you call him by his first name. "I'm in the living room Sebastian!" You softly smile.

You and Sebastian had met a long time ago at the cafe he ran as a hobby. He knew everything there was to know bout different brews of tea's and coffee's.

He had asked you out to eat and the rest is history. He didn't like the term 'girlfriend' but you two weren't exactly married yet either. So, he went with 'mate.'

The two of you were engaged however. The beautiful Pearl on your finger was a reminder of that.

One of the things you've always wanted was a child of your own. But, sadly, Fear knew that wouldn't be possible without a surrogate of some sort.

He was half spider and he knew he would act on instincts and kill you in a matter of seconds after mating.

He never wanted to hurt you. So you two stayed away from anything sexual. You two cuddled most of time and pressed quick kisses to the cheek now and then.

And besides his instincts. He was also asexual. He didn't care for it anyway. He loved you yes, but he didn't really see the appeal in sex at all.

And you were more than supportive. You were glad you didn't have a fiancé that wanted to do the dirty every ten minutes.

He even once said: "I don't understand why no one appreciates how good people look with clothes on."

Needless to say you laughed an unflattering snort at the time.

"Darling, I have retrieved the paperwork, and your chocolate bars." The recluse enters the living room, amber eyes on you with a soft caring look in them.

"Thanks honey, you're a life saver." You smile and scoot over a bit so he can join you on the sofa.

He sits next to you, tossing the chocolate bars in your lap, he adjusts his glasses and looks over the stack of papers he has in his hands.

"It may not exactly be ideal to you.. But I know how much you'd  like a child of our own..and... Well since I cannot provide you with such.. I've reached out to some.. Monsters in the area." He pauses, his observant eyes looking you over.

"And?" You tilt your head, taking his hand in yours so you can rub your thumb over his knuckles.

"Well.. I may have found another arachnid that is willing to help. And yes, they know it'll cost them their life, but they are willing to take the risk." He continues. "I unfortunately need to.. Ahem.. Mate with them for it to work." His cheeks flush as he avoids eye contacts.

You wrap your arm around his broad shoulders. "Are you comfortable with that? I mean.. I know it won't be easy for you but.."

"I could care less for my comfort. I want my mate happy." He locks eyes with you again, and pecks your forehead. "I need to know if you're comfortable with it.. It feels like I'm cheating on you.."

"Well.. Technically, you're doing this for us, and you're not going behind my back about it. And.. I'd really love to have our own spiderling running around.." You trail off.

He places a hand on your cheek. "As would I. I wouldn't ever cheat on you, anyone who would is a foolish idiot." He narrows his eyes.

"Thank you Sebastian." You lean into his touch.

"Anything for you darling." His fangs meet your lips.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You feel a dip in the bed beside you. And a long slender leg wraps around your waist. Along with the smell of coffee beans and dried ink.

"What time is it?" You ask him, snuggling into his side.

"..eleven thirty at night. Please, go back to sleep darling." He replies with a yawn.

You slowly nod your head, focusing on his warmth.

"...how was it?" You ask, lifting a brow.

"Awful. But, I'd do anything to keep you happy dear." He replies with a small hiss at the memory.

You turn and kiss his cheek. "Its alright, it'll all be worth it when we see the little one."

He smiles at that. "You know just how to cheer me up dear." He pecks your nose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, you awaked by a tight warmth on your torso.

You slowly sit up and to your surprise there's a large lump under your shirt. You feel a smile forming on your face as you gently stoke the lump on top of your tummy.

"Darling, don't sit up to fast." Fear commands, walking into your shared bedroom with a silver platter in his hands.

"Sebastian, what is this?" You ask him, wrapping the blankets around your shoulders.

He sets the platter on the table next to you, before handing you a cold glass of orange juice.

"Darling you need your strength. Now, we shall take turns carrying her, but you will need to hold her most of the time so she imprints on you." He replies, gently running one of his fingers across the lump under your shirt.

"But how-?"

"Lift your shirt Darling and take a look yourself." He smiles softly. Eyes never leaving the lump.

You slowly lifted your night shirt and your eyes widened in awe. There, attracted to your stomach with strong webbing was a soft pastel orange egg.

"Normally there would be more than one, but with my size.. Well there is just the one. She's perfect.." He sighs dreamily.

You feel tears at the corners of your eyes. And your quickly pull him into a hug. "Thank you so much Sebastian! I love you so much!"

He carefully wraps his arms around your shoulders. "You are so very welcome, darling. I love you more then any of my books in the library." He chuckles.

End..? Short and sweet. Like me and Fear. I hope you enjoyed~!
