The Parenting Meme
HOW IT WORKS:
➔ Post with your characters, one per comment please.
➔ Others tag your muse with a number choice. Either use the RNG or pick whichever you like. For optimum fun, be adventurous! Throw random characters at each other and see what fun shenanigans you can get up to.
➔ Congratulations! Now you're parents. Hopefully you won't screw this up too much.
➔ Have fun!

01. You’ve just gotten the news, you’re pregnant. Time to tell your spouse. OR You’ve just gotten the news, you’re approved for adoption! Time to tell your spouse.
02. Oh my God, you’re in labor! OR Oh my God, time to meet your adoption prospect.
03. It’s the first night home with your new baby. Good luck.
04. Now you know why they call it the terrible twos. How are you and your spouse coping?
05. It’s your little one’s first day of school. You and your spouse are seeing them off.
06. Sitting in the stands for your kid’s big sports game. You two cheer as loud as you can!
07. The only thing worse than a two-year-old is a teenager. Time to discuss what's an appropriate punishment.
08. Hopefully you’ve got fresh batteries in your camera for prom pictures. Maybe your spouse remembered.
09. Your kid is off to college. You can’t believe the number of boxes you’ve got to fit in your car and carry to their dorm.
10. You’re older, wiser and probably going to cry at your kid's wedding. At least you two still have each other.

The boy is back in townnnn

[doctricis]

It had been several months since Derek started living in Esther's home. The first month was a bit rough with him sleeping in a variety of odd places, mostly out of habit despite being somewhere where he was safe and didn't constantly have to be on an alert. He used to sleep in one of the corners of the closet or under the bed rather than on the bed itself and while Esther would find him curled up with a pillow and a blanket, there was always one of her dogs nearby if not all of them.

But then the nightmares became a normal thing shortly after, where Derek couldn't sleep at all because he thought his parents would find him and they'd hurt him or one of Esther's dogs or Esther. To which, she'd find him barely awake using Nigel as a pillow, staring at his bedroom door because he didn't want to wake her up with his nightmares.

Eventually, the nightmares were less frequent and he got comfortable enough to sleep in the bed instead of under it. He even started to go back to school this semester after having his attendance be ridiculously spotty the previous years and that was a learning struggle all its own. The kids still picked on him, especially now with the scar across his face but he found places to run off and hide in when he spotted the school bully and his little tagalongs.

There was a plus side though, Mother's day was just hours away and Derek wanted to make something special to show his thanks for everything Esther has done for him thus far.

He may have or may not have started on making something for Esther's birthday while he was at it but he still had a few more months to finish that one. With Esther's schedule being a little wonky sometimes where she would come back home late some nights or take a couple days where she'd be gone due to work, he didn't have to worry about hiding his gift while he worked on it at home. Of course, there were times when the dogs would hear her coming home first that he'd have to scramble to put away everything so as not to spoil the surprise.

With different colored paper, markers, and pens scattered across the dining room table, tonight was no different. Derek finished his handmade card and lifted it up to admire his handiwork before the dogs started barking at Esther's arrival home. Again, there was a scramble to put away his mess on the table and hide the card where he tucked away the rest of Esther's gift in his closet before coming back into the living room and sat on his knees as he leaned over the edge of the back of the couch with a smile as he watched the door.

Even after living with Esther for this long, he had never really called her mom, mostly because he was afraid to or that maybe she might not like it. But he thought with today being what it was that he might just try jumping that hurdle and giving it a try. The idea made him nervous but as long as he eased into it, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. When Esther walked through the door, he chimed up like he always did, "Welcome home!"

Personally, Bodhi blamed Christmas for this. Christmas cards, specifically. The Rook-Andor-Erso household sent Djem's old social worker a card the year his adoption went through and never got out of the habit. At first, it seemed smart to stay in touch; if not for that annual contact, they wouldn't have known what to do when Djem's biological brother turned up a couple years back, or when Neph sort-of-kind-of-practically stopped living with her own foster family and took up residence under their roof. Bodhi'd long suspected that Organa was aware of their unofficial second child through the social worker grapevine, and that suspicion was practically confirmed by this new emotionally closed off blonde girl hunkered in their living room.

"I can't say much," Leia murmured as she shrugged back into her jacket, "It's part of an ongoing investigation. But the situation's too volatile to place her in a group home, and none of our usual special case managers could take her. I know it's...unconventional, but the three of you have handled unconventional before."

Her gaze cut past Bodhi's shoulder, towards the second floor, where Djem and Neph were no doubt eavesdropping (or Neph was, then translating silently into ASL).

"It's fine," Bodhi replied by rote. It wasn't exactly fine; he had serious doubts about the wisdom of throwing a traumatized girl into the chaos of their household, but those doubts were outweighed by how obviously she needed to be anyplace but where Leia had found her. The massive bandage swathing the left side of her face spoke to the truth of that. "She can stay as long as she needs."

"Make sure you tell her that," Leia said, brown eyes locked on his. Bodhi nodded, no stranger to the sometimes contradictory needs of teenagers.

"I will. We will. And you, tell us what you can when you can," Because sure, he might know how to handle a kid in trouble, but he also knew the value of good information. Leia quirked a dry smile and let herself out, leaving Bodhi alone in an entryway cluttered with five people's assorted shoes. There'd be room for a sixth's if he straightened them up a little.

The girl was right where Leia'd left her, sitting on the couch opposite K's cage. For once, the parrot wasn't kicking up a racket about an unexpected guest, opting instead to hang upside down and twist his head around to regard her with his gleaming, beady eyes. Bodhi couldn't make out her expression past the heavy fall of her hair, but he thought she might be staring back just as intensely. He took advantage of the quiet moment to study the dressing on her face, frowning a little at the peeling edges of the surgical tape and the spots of rusty bleedthrough. His hands itched to peel the mess away and do a better job of it.

"It's Esther, right?" he asks. K grumbles as Bodhi's voice interrupts his inverted staring contest, a protest Bodhi ignores. "I'd just put water on for tea. Would you like some?"

Fixing tea would give him, them, something to do, while helping him gauge how well she could eat and drink around her injury. Would she tell a stranger if she needed special help with meals? He hardly knew her, but thought the hell not.

[generalstudies]

[Hitoshi's not sure at what age they ended up being domestic. Well, no, he can probably pin it down to a specific incident. They were dealing with a rescue situation and it turns out one of the women had a very particular quirk- after touching both of them during the heightened emotional state of the rescue she got pregnant. With a kid. That kid, genetically, was theirs. That probably started the slow descent into domesticity. It worked out pretty well. Katsuki worked days as the showy kind of hero he was and Hitoshi worked nights as an underground hero.]

[Theoretically they should split the parental duties fairly but, well, the school quickly learned that calling Hitoshi seemed much safer than the explosive hero. So, if anything happened at school, he usually pulled himself out of bed to deal with it.]

[The text he sends is short and to the point: "Hey, it finally happened, Maho's home with me."]

[By the time Katsuki gets home, he'll find the two of them on the couch. Maho's hair is still in the fluffy pigtails they fight every morning to put in for school. Who'd have thought, with her parents, that she'd had hair that struggled to break almost any hair tie or comb they put in it? Hitoshi's idly looking at his phone and glances over to the door,]

Hey. Try not to wake her up. She could use the nap after earlier.
