trying for a baby hasn’t been easy for you and Rami
FIRSTLY, he took his time to agree to try
mostly he was just scared that by the time the child would go to college, he would look like their grandpa
but you managed to convince him by saying that the child doesn’t need a young handsome dad, they will need a dad who loves them
and that Rami could definitely give to them and was more than willing to do
(also, Rami totally doesn’t look his age so you knew he’d be the hottest grandpa in town)
he was good with children, always taking care of his nieces and nephews
he was the cool uncle and you were sure he’ll be the coolest dad
also, he knew how much you wanted children, and he would never forgive himself if he was the reason you never made that dream come true
after all, at the altar he promised to help you fulfill all of your dreams
THEN, you didn’t have enough time to properly try
there was an occasion maybe once a week, and whenever Rami had more of a free time, you were not on you fertile days
he was away all the time filming, but he promised you that as soon as you got pregnant, he won’t agree to any projects, to be there with you
of course you thought it was a crazy idea, so you made a compromise
he will do movies, but only those that were being shot close enough so he would come back home for the nights
THEN, another obstacle… and quite a big one
you just couldn’t get pregnant
Rami obviously blamed himself, as he was much older
he was mad at himself for waiting
there was a tension growing between you
neither of you would admit it, but you both were scared that it will slowly tear you two apart
you heard him saying a few times that you should’ve started trying right after the wedding and that he was stupid for waiting for God knows what
you tried to talk about how you felt, but there were no words to describe it
anytime the tests showed negative results, you both were more and more disappointed
you visited doctors, of course, but they didn’t know how to help you get pregnant
all they suggested was a surrogate or adoption
and then, out of nowhere – a positive result
you tried like 6 different tests and they all showed the same
you didn’t even know how to describe your happiness, so you simply screamed
Rami immediately came to the bathroom to see if you’re okay
and when you – the crying mess – showed him the result, you knew he understands
because you never saw purest joy than the one you saw in his eyes in that moment
it was a real miracle and honestly, all the months of doubt and insecurity stopped having any meaning after you saw tears of happiness in Rami’s eyes
actually, at the beginning of the pregnancy, you travelled with him a bit, because he had to finish all of his projects
you felt surprisingly good, definitely much better than your friends
maybe it was the sun, the changing of environment, constant recharging
and the closeness of Rami, who you’d be normally missing if he was away doing a movie
it all definitely made you feel better
but you obviously took into account all the recommendations
you always took your pills and did everything else the doctor told you
and you were honestly treated like an egg by the sweetest hubby ever
Rami was there with you as much as he could
he would massage your legs, shoulders, rub your belly
Rami always made sure you were in the most comfortable position
so you usually had your legs on him
he would very often talk to the child, sing to them, tell them stories
“you know, your mom was so excited to have you, than when I said we should start trying, we started trying… like right away!”
“Rami, don’t tell our child such stories!”
“what, they can’t even understand yet” he chuckled
you didn’t even know the sex of the child
Rami didn’t want to know, so you asked the doctor not to tell you either
you knew how easily things just slipped from your mouth
and you didn’t want to spoil it for Rami
at the end of the pregnancy, he only took a role that ensured him staying close to your house, so if you went into labor, he would immediately come to you
but actually it happened during a night, so he was home
he was there with you during the entire time, holding your hand
he cut the umbilical cord
when he saw your little daughter and had the chance to hold her in his hands, his eyes immediately got wet
after all, there was a time when he lost all hope that he’ll ever be a dad
“She’s so beautiful, y/n, she’s just like you”
when you were able to hold your baby for the first time, he sat next to you and kissed your head
he took a bunch of photos, some of which you wanted to murder him for
he praised you all the time, telling you how brave and strong you were and how he admired you for giving him the miracle of a child
he wanted to be the first one to do everything
dress her first, bathe her first, change her diapers
anytime you saw him, he had her on his arms
he was jealous that he couldn’t feed her, but you promised him that as soon as she’ll be able to eat from a bottle, he will feed her
he was often filming you and the baby or making pictures, ‘cause he wanted to remember all of those moments forever
fuck, he even posted a picture of her little foot on his Instagram, again, praising you
he did it five months after she was born though, ‘cause he lost the password
she smiled first to him, laughed to him as well
she was such a daddy’s girl since day one
whenever you left Rami with your daughter, when you came back, the whole house was a mess
and they both were a mess
especially when she got a bit older and started talking
yes, her first word was dada
“she wanted to bake a cake” he would say innocently being covered in all the ingredients, holding your baby in a kitchen full of flour
he just couldn’t say no to her, and she learnt that very quickly
your daughter loved dinosaurs, so there was a running joke in the gang about her being Joe’s daughter
but in truth she looked exactly like little Rami
the same eyes, the same hair color, the same skin tone
whenever Rami was away, he skyped with his girls almost every night
you sometimes put your daughter to sleep just by placing the laptop next to her bed, and he talked to her until she fell asleep
you got her a puppy when she was little
and the dog followed her everywhere, sleeping close to her, making sure she’s safe
Roger had mixed feelings about that name
she often slept in your bed as well, often on Rami, cause she was calmer to feel his or your heartbeat
when she was five, you adopted a child
Rami needed to promise your daughter he will still love her the same, because she was very jealous
(another thing she got from him ;)
but when the baby arrived in the house, she immediately fell in love with him
she wanted to help with everything
yup, she totally reminded you of her father
you went to the bedroom one time and she was rocking your son on her hands to calm him down
yes, Rami has that on camera
he was a very attentive father, and your children always came to him first with any problems
he was the one to think of all sorts of adventures for them
he taught them anything they were willing to learn
he read them bedtime stories or make them up every night
he bought them so many toys, they were literally everywhere
fun fact: neither of your kids knew whether it’s their dad or uncle Sami. It was funny every time
and yes, they grew up listening to Queen, but that doesn’t surprise anyone, now, does it?
Joe bought them little shirt saying “I <3 Queen” and “Queen’s #1 fan”
and it made Rami the proudest father
(and it made Freddie the proudest grandfather)
