LXC and JC got into an arranged marriage situation that's v similar to what JC's parents had and
JC suffers in silence because he didn't want to be resented like his mother had been.
In rare moments after LXC would join him in bed, JC would rest his hand over LXC's hand over his stomach, and silently pray for a child that would be loved.
In rare moments after LXC would join him in bed, JC would rest his hand over LXC's hand over his stomach, and silently pray for a child that would be loved.
He became so happy when LXC grew gentler and softer and more intimate as his lower stomach swelled into a soft curve; even if LXC never really spoke to him with such kindness, LXC's whispered sweet nothings whenever the baby would kick as if greeting him and the outside world.
The doctors suggested they stopped spending nights together for the sake of the pregnancy, and JC agreed that LXC deserved to go gets his needs met elsewhere, especially since his other lovers / concubines were feeling neglected. He asked if LXC will bid him goodnight and
tell him that he loved him before their break (not even regularly, just occasionally); LXC's serene smile crinkled his eyes so he couldn't see how his dismissal of such an uncharacteristicly clingy request hurt JC. Besides, he was the first to have been pregnant, and he would
ensure his and JC's child would have lots of full- and half- siblings; he still care for JC, even if their marriage was purely political.
(I guess in this AU, LXC is kinda playing the role of an emperor with an imperial harem?)

LXC spends time with other members of his harem; it wasn't long before he knocked up one of his favourites, JGY. JGY, not wanting his child to end up like him (illegitimate, second-place), tries to persuade LXC to replace JC. LXC wouldn't do it, but it does bring his mind
back to JC.
The next time he is with JC is with the entire harem; JC had swelled up and LXC couldn't keep his hands off JC's round stomach and cooing at his child and heir. As JC basks in the attention, JGY seethes and schemes.

LXC remembered how JC had pleaded for his attention, and he promised to visit JC that night.
What he found was JC having been split open, in a pool of his own blood,
