A/N: First fic of 2022! I’m back from my unplanned hiatus (with a new, functioning laptop) with another entry into The Dad Batch series! I super appreciate the love y’all gave the Wrecker one [the original post unfortunately got deleted, but I just reuploaded it], and I hope this pleases my fellow Tech girls! As before, there’s some story (mainly the number of children + the genders that I envisioned each having), but otherwise this is a reader | Y/N insert.

(I know clones are canonically sterile, just pretend with me that our favorite genetically modified squad is not)

“Parenting is a science that can be understood and mastered like any other.”

That’s the stance Tech confidently took at first, anyway

It didn’t take long after for him to figure out that it wasn’t quite so precise

He was surprisingly calm when you told him that you were pregnant, even when you questioned him about it

“Well, why wouldn’t I be? There is no one else I would have as my partner and the mother of my child. I have no reason to worry.”

His words, methodic as they were, were all the assurance you needed

You knew he was overjoyed in his own, logical way

In the days following, he continually mentioned your pregnancy and his enthusiasm for fatherhood every chance he got; Hunter eventually had to order him to stop bringing it up while they were “on duty”

He is a Book Parent™

If there was a file, book, pamphlet, or database about pregnancy and child rearing, you can bet he had them all read and memorized before your second trimester even arrived

Tech has never been exceedingly verbose about his affection, but he more than proves the depths of his care for you with his actions

Although you were often sick during the early months of your pregnancy, you couldn’t have been in better hands

Tech is an excellent caretaker

There’s no ailment this man doesn’t have a fix for, and even if there were, he would have a cure invented in two shakes of a gundark’s tail

“You require additional rest and nutrition when you are with child. It is my duty and my honor to provide it to you, along with anything else you may desire.”

Whatever you wanted, he would either retrieve it or make it himself - the reclining chair he fashioned for your aching back was, in your opinion, his greatest invention ever

Often your greatest need was simply his company, which he gladly provided, reading to you many nights until you fell asleep with your head on his shoulder

Your child would never, ever want for knowledge

Tech ensured that your baby’s nursery was stocked with the galaxy’s greatest works on every subject imaginable

You were going to explain to him that it would be several years before they would be able to read any of it, and several more to understand even half of it, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it after seeing how much pride it gave him to supply his child with the knowledge he treasures so much

He loved rubbing your pregnant belly and sharing with you the endless facts he’d learned about motherhood

“Infants establish a familiar bond with their mother in the womb simply through the sound of her voice,” he informed proudly

“Does it work for fathers too?” you asked with a smile

“The data is inconclusive. I am, however, willing to test that theory.”

When the time came to fly to the hospital, he was as level-headed as ever, and it was probably the smoothest flight you’d ever been on with him at the helm

His enduring calm soothed your nerves and helped you focus during labor

He never let go of your hand, reminding you of your breathing techniques and constantly reassuring you

You gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and in the moment that Tech first laid eyes on his son, he was struck speechless

Dad Mode Activated

Thanks to his extensive research, he knew instantly how to cradle an infant, bringing him to your side when the doctors were finished

“Hello, little one,” he smiled, tears in his eyes, “We are your parents, and we’re delighted to meet you. Officially.”

The excitement of that day never faded - if there was a code for parenting, Tech was determined to crack it

He is a master at changing - you didn’t know it was possible to switch a diaper that fast, but Dank Ferrik, were you grateful he could

When your son is fussy, Tech loves to sing lullabies to him, especially ones in other languages

His favorite is a traditional Mandalorian song that your little one loves so much, every time he sings it, it puts your baby to sleep without fail

Tech was eager to introduce his adorable offspring to his brothers and Omega

Matching Father + Son goggles

It only took a few months to realize that your son inherited his father’s challenged eyesight, but Tech was more than happy to make a special pair of goggles for his little face

He continued to craft new ones as your baby grew, always thinking of ways to improve them

Omega finds their matching eyewear endlessly amusing (as do you)

“It’s like they’re twins!”

There’s nothing he can’t fix

He has every broken toy repaired before the tears can even dry

He also often find ways to “improve” certain playthings to make your little one that much happier - the Bantha and Reek toys he modified to have “authentic vocal patterns” are your son’s absolute favorite

You did have to draw the line at your tinkerer’s idea for a model starfighter with functioning, to-scale boosters

Everything is a learning moment

Although you couldn’t be more grateful for his dedication to all things dad, sometimes you have gently remind Tech that some concepts, like the ecological impact of modified hyperspeed engines, don’t need to be explained to a three-year-old

Luckily, your son also inherited his father’s inquisitive nature

As limitless as the questions of a toddler are, Tech’s thoughtful answers seem to be just as infinite; it warms your heart to see how closely Tech listens to your little one’s half-babbled inquiries

Fieldtrips

Tech saw to it that his son would grow up with an appreciation for all cultures- it seemed like your kid had been to every museum, library, and gallery Coruscant had to offer by age five

After encouraging your beau to also include playgrounds, zoos, and a few sugary snacks on the itinerary, he soon achieved a healthy balance of educational incursions and “necessary adolescent antics”

Wrecker is a huge help with fun times as well, more than happy to take his favorite nephew and “Aunt Omega” out for a flight around the city to get sweet treats

Although between the two of you, Tech was more inclined to be the disciplinarian, the occasion rarely calls for it - logical discussions are usually sufficient for your already well-mannered child, as opposed methods like time outs and groundings which Tech insists are “unpredictable and unpleasant for both child and parent”

You weren’t so sure at first, but the results were undeniable as your boy grew up almost always choosing reason over impulse, getting top marks in all his classes at academy and never once needing discipline

Tech never misses an opportunity to boast about this, incredibly proud of his son in all his pursuits

The family that hacks together, stays together

As soon as your son was old enough, Tech began teaching him everything he knew about technology, communications, engineering, and most importantly, how to hack it all

Mini-Me

While your boy definitely takes after you in temperament, and is a bit more inclined to hands-on solutions over data and calculation, he is the spitting image of his daddy, goggles and all

When they stand beside each other (especially since your son hit a growth spurt), you often have to do a double take

Flying lessons

Tech was thrilled when your son showed an interest in learning how to fly, and perhaps to the detriment of pilots and their ships everywhere, he turned out to be a natural

Just like his father, he’s a risk-taker in the pilot’s seat, occasionally pulling maneuvers that even Tech admits are “decidedly dubious”

After that first time, you never forgot again to fly with an empty stomach

A/N: I’m doing one of these for every guy in the squad! Their interactions with Omega inspired me to imagine them with their own children! I’m starting with Wrecker because I just had a ton of inspiration for him! This is my first time doing a headcanon/preference/would-include. There’s some story (mainly the number of children + the genders that I envisioned each having), but otherwise it’s a reader | Y/N insert.

This man is the ultimate fun dad

He may have started out as the man-child of the squad, but helping raise Omega transformed him in responsible father figure, and he looked forward to having his own kid one day

It wasn’t long after you fell in love with him that you knew he would be a great father, and you soon longed to have a family together

Wrecker just about split the ground open in excitement when he found out you were pregnant

“I’m gonna be a dad! This…is the happiest day…of my life!”

For the first few months, he still went on missions with the squad to bring home credits “to buy toys for the baby,” but he would get on the comm with you at least three times a day while he was gone to check on you

He was extra gentle with you during your pregnancy, always giving you kisses, affectionately rubbing your shoulders, and lightly patting your stomach when you started to show

By your third trimester, he stayed by your side daylight to dark, bringing you everything you wanted and constantly making sure you were comfortable

Whenever your back was hurting, he would carry you to the bed or the couch, staying to cuddle when you asked

You didn’t need a pregnancy pillow - sleeping in his hefty, loving arms was all the support you needed

Snuggling in bed and listening to your belly

He loved talking to the baby and feeling their kicks

“You feel that?” you said, “Strong like their papa!”

Sometimes you’d fall asleep with Wrecker’s head in your lap, drifting off as he told your baby of adventures with the Bad Batch and “Aunt Omega”

You were the calm one during your first false alarm - he was ready to bring the hospital to you, roof and all

After that night, he was on edge that the baby would come at any second - you had to convince your ever-vigilante bodyguard to stay off the caff and get some sleep

A few days before the birth, Omega gave beloved Lula back to Wrecker as a present for the baby

When the day came, Tech flew you to the hospital so Wrecker could stay beside you (and so you could keep him calm)

The nurses and doctor had to work around him because he refused to let go of your hand while you pushed

After the final push, the nurse whisked away your baby a moment, and Wrecker kissed your face all over, telling you “you did such a good job”

When he laid eyes on your baby girl, he fell in love - it was the first time you’d seen him genuinely cry

He was very anxious about holding his daughter for the first time, afraid of hurting her

The worry soon vanished; he was a natural

“She’s so tiny!”

Proud Papa Bear

Just days after your baby was born, he wanted another- you had to negotiate for a “trial period” first

He was so excited to introduce his “little trooper” to the squad

“Pretty just like her momma!” he beamed. (”Thank goodness for that,” Hunter teased)

Wrecker was so excited for Omega to hold his little girl, showing her the right way to cradle her - it’s a moment you’ve cherished every day since

Teaching him to change diapers was interesting, but he eventually got the hang of it and was very proud of himself

He’s on his feet the second your little one starts to cry

You often find Wrecker passed out on the couch, your daughter curled up in on his chest with Lula snuggled in-between them

Hugs, so many hugs

When she took her first steps, he shed a tear, even though he denies it to this day

He was also misty-eyed when she spoke her first word: “Woo-wa”

He loves to toss her above his head and catch her - she squeals every time.

Piggyback rides - he is always carrying his little trooper around on his shoulders

Even as a toddler, your daughter was very strong for her size - Wrecker couldn’t be prouder

He showers his princess with presents

You had to draw the line when he tried to bring home a Kowakian monkey-lizard for her

Playdates with Omega

Mantell Mix is always involved, as well as enough ice pops to choke a Reek

Wrecker eventually gets his wish; you become pregnant again. He was much more like his stoic self during labor the second time.

You give birth to another girl, and you’re both overjoyed

Your youngest more resembles you, but the signs are there early that she will be quite strong too, though perhaps not as much as your eldest

Wrecker loves to play dolls and dress up with them - the latter you’re sworn to secrecy over

Staying up to watch holos when they can’t sleep

He had more than one stand-off with the Dianoga under their beds - “Daddy showed it who’s boss!” and the nightmares finally stopped

You have to be the disciplinarian because he can’t so much as put your kids in timeout

He bargains to let them out early, and sneaks treats to them when he thinks you aren’t looking

“Don’t tell your mother.”

He doesn’t know what ‘bedtime’’ is either

“I’m not sleepy!” all three of them reply when you tell them lights out

Wrecker is a pro-prank dad

The three of them with Omega get into so much mischief

Uncle Tech and Uncle Echo are often the unwitting victims because “Uncle Hunter can always hear us coming!” and no one wants to test the patience of Uncle Crosshair after the vibroblade incident…

When your girls are old enough, you and Wrecker make sure that they’re both properly trained with blasters and other tactical practices to keep them safe against the Empire

Your eldest inherited much of her father’s strength, and quickly becomes proficient in hand-to-hand combat sparring with Uncle Hunter

Your youngest is a natural shot, which leads Wrecker to dub her “Crosshair Jr.”

Wrecker is extremely supportive of their talents and aspirations

“No one messes with my girls!”

He imparted a love of pyrotechnics and all things explosive to them, a combination that definitely keeps you up at night sometimes

Despite his enthusiasm for violence, he is still careful to teach them about weapon safety and ways to keep themselves out of excessive danger

Sweet treats after training

Your daughters grow up wanting to be tough Bad Batchers like their parents and uncles
