hi i would like to know how carrillo feels about reader being isabella’s mother pls this family dynamic is everything
have you seen parks and rec? you know that episode where andy and ron go to fix diane’s pothole and she has two little daughters in fairy princess costumes, and andy’s just humoring them, goofing around and sitting by the little plastic table and letting them put makeup on him while ron actually goes to fix the pothole?
reader is andy skdjskdkjsks very good with kids in general, and i never really mention this but in the fic you’re actually a pediatric nurse
carrillo just likes watching you interact, sort of awed bc as much as he tries (and he tries v hard, 11/10 dad) sometimes a kid just needs like a mom, yknow? he appreciates you a lot and knows how much you help, and he never takes you for granted bc he remembers how hard it was without you there.
you’ve both dealt with this sort of lingering wound of juliana not being there, and you had a lot of self-doubt when you first got married bc you felt like i’m not her real mom but hey!!!! reader has a kick ass therapist (who i need to bring back bc i love her.) they 100% go to couple’s counseling to Work Through Some Shit™ and you both come out better for it.
also i can’t remember when and how i tagged it but i wrote like this hc of carrillo learning how to braid isabella’s hair when she gets older and now im just imagining like maybe you’re sick or something and need to sleep in and he’s charged with The Hair. it takes him half an hour and isabella’s squirming the whole time, fussing around bc that’s not the comb you use, daddy.
n he’s sitting there thinking it’s a comb?? what’s the difference??
he eventually just gives up and takes all the hair ties out, telling her to go see your mama bc our man tried his best, god bless him, but it was a grade-a mess
tl;dr - carrillo looks at you like you put the stars in the sky and i’ll never be over it
