um, is there a dad!rex request in? because imagining that man as a loving father is something hot as fuuuu. I bet he hangs up all of the kids drawings on the fridge, indulges in their tea parties and plays dress up with them. he would just love so so much to see his own children grow up and never want to miss a single moment of their smiles.
FINALLY A DAD!REX REQUEST! I've been itching to write one for him since talking about dad!rex with @rexxdjarin and now that the opportunity is here i am SO EXCITED!!
more dad!clone fluff below the cut!
"-and then i kicked the ball really hard, daddy! i kicked it so hard and it got in the goal and my teacher was so excited!"
rex smiled as he listened to his adi'ka ramble, cheek in his palm with eyes full of adoration. his little one had just returned from school, full of stories and recollections of the day. he was caught in their adorable snare the moment they sat down at the dinner table together.
"uh-huh," he smiled, eyes crinkling with love. "and did your team win?"
they shrugged. "no, but that's okay because the game was fun! oh and look, i had arts and crafts today and i made this for you!"
they threw their tiny blue backpack atop the kitchen table and zipped it open in a rush, rummaging through the mess of papers and crayons before pulling out a little drawing covered in glue and sparkles. they ran up to rex's side as he turned, offering his knee for them to climb up into his lap.
hovering over his little adi'ka, rex couldn't help but laugh rich and deeply when he saw a crayon portrayal of him and his brothers.
fives had his typical tattoo but the '5' covered his entire forehead and there were stickers stuck everywhere along his armor. echo had not one, but two hands painted on his chest, covering his chest plate like a seashell bra. half of jesse's head was covered in grey - he guessed it was the republic cog but it looked more like a little smudge. dogma, hardcase, kix, and tup were there too, each of them sporting odd but close portrayals of their haircuts and tattoos. while he found it shocking that his little adi'ka could remember such details, he couldn't help but love their interpretation a little more.
"this is amazing, adi'ka," he praised, causing his little one to grin as hard as they could. "can i take a picture and send it to your uncles?"
they flushed, biting their lip in uncertainty. "uh, it's not very good, daddy."
rex gasped, splaying his hand across his chest as if utterly shocked. "are you kidding? this is the best thing i've ever gotten from you so far! you sure you don't want me to show your uncles?"
after a moment of contemplation, little adi'ka finally nodded with shy red cheeks. "okay. you can show them."
rex grinned. "good, 'cause i was going to anyway."
"daddy!"
he laughed, setting his adi'ka up on the edge of the table. he handed them the picture and said, "hold it up and smile, adi'ka."
they giddily obliged, cheesing as hard as they could while holding up their little artwork. rex snapped a picture, biting his lip to contain his cheeky grin while he sent it to the 501st group chat.
"nice job, bubs," he smirked, holding his hand out for his adi'ka to place the picture in his palm. with a turn, he faced the fridge and clipped it up with blue magnets, taking a step back to admire the collection of drawings and pictures that coated the fridge's entire surface. "i'm really liking this whole blue theme you have going on."
"duh, daddy. it's my favorite color."
rex hummed, smirking. "right, right." after an extended moment of appreciating his little one's artwork, rex turned with his hands on his hips, nudging his head towards the couch. "nap time? or tea time."
his little one gasped out, clapping their hands in excitement. "tea time first, nap time later!"
rex nodded, holding his hands out. his little one grasped them both, jumping down from the table with a happy cheer. they didn't let go of his fingers as they led him out of the kitchen and down the hall, guiding them toward their bedroom.
"can i wear the blue tutu today?" they asked with big eyes. "and you wear the pink one?"
rex didn't have a single bone in his body that could deny such a request, so he nodded. "sure, bubs."
as he settled down at his adi'ka's little tea table, watching them bring out the assortment of cups and plates, the comm in his pocket began to vibrate over and over and over again, humming and droning with replies from his brothers.
jesse: i want a framed copy to hang in my bunk. immediately.
echo: can i add the second handprint to my armor? i like adi'ka's version better.
fives: if anyone hears crying in the barracks, it's definitely not me.

Series Summary: You've been with Rex for a while - your first date being just before his injury he’d sustained on Saleucami. Following the Great Jedi Purge and subsequent fall of the Republic, you’ve been traveling from one system to the another with Rex in search of other deserters of the Empire and fighting for what’s left of the Republic, all while laying low and successfully staying off this new Empire’s radar. Though things are crazy and hardly stable, moving nonstop throughout the Outer Rim isn’t enough to stop the two of you from finally being able to act upon what you’ve both hoped to have for the longest time.
Note #1: This whole thing started out as a few smutty thots that morphed into a series of sorts because of your support, kind words, and encouragement! It’s all still in progress, and there’s more to come! ♡
Note #2: Everything on this list is Rex x (the same)f!reader. Common warnings include: breeding kink, possessive!Rex, unprotected piv, plugging, rough sex (always consensual), sensual sex/love making, mentions of pregnancy and trying to conceive, related hormones, pregnant!reader, mom!reader, and dad!Rex, a sprinkle of angst, domesticity, a lot of Fluff -> each work will include individual warnings. I’m always open to your thots, comments, or questions regarding Post-Order 66 Rex and fam! ♡
main masterlist | ao3
updated: October 30th, 2022
A lot happens in between these main installments - everything else has been linked under the Thots + Drabbles heading, so be sure to check those out as well!
The Aftermath
The Temple burns. The Jedi are gone. The clones have changed. The broadcast that's played over and over burns in your brain. You're able to connect some dots, and can't help but think that the worst has come to claim the man you love. After days of unsettling radio silence, Rex finally comes home to you.
Staying the Night at the Lawquane’s
You and Rex travel to Saleucami to warn Cut and his family about everything that had happened mere days ago, and the idea of starting a family of your own gets revisited.
Killing Time in the Y-wing • written in bullet point format
It’s not exactly possible to be physically intimate when traveling from one rendezvous to the next, but the two of you find a way to satiate your mutual arousal by entertaining other means.
I Saw Him
Rex ends up seeing an old friend - one of his closest friends, actually - but it isn’t exactly in a warm, joyous context. You want to comfort him, to hold him, but Rex would rather be inside of you than be held by you.
Hold Still
Rex doesn't think he'll ever get tired of the way you feel beneath his fingertips... especially not of the way you feel stuffed full of him while he holds you still and pressed against him.
The List • based on previous thots
Rex had kept a password-protected list of potential baby on his old datapad that he added to every time he heard a name he thought was nice. The datapad was destroyed on the fallen Venator, but luckily Rex had committed a few names to memory - one of which he spills in the heat of the moment.
Finding Out
You've been experiencing inexplicable nausea for a few days now - perhaps it's time to visit a med center.
Baby Bump • written for a request
Rex is obsessed with your little bump.
Insatiable
You’ve never acted this way before... It’s the last straw for Rex when you’re trying to pull him away while in he’s the middle of something - perhaps he needs to teach you a lesson.
Distractions • based on this thot
Rex has been teaching you different ways to defend your little family, including how to properly and accurately shoot a blaster. Naturally, the next step is to teach you how to shoot while being distracted. That shouldn’t be too difficult of a lesson, right?
Everywhere
It’s all coming together - this life the two of you have wanted for so long is finally starting. Everything is within reach now, materializing right in front of your faces.
Speeding Things Up • written for a request
Rex has an idea on how to get the ball rolling since you’re a tad bit overdue.
Welcome to the Galaxy, Little One
The moment has arrived when little Priya makes her debut, and Rex's dream of being a father is finally a reality.
Moments Like These
It’s been long enough since giving birth to Priya, so you and Rex find some time to be intimate while the baby sleeps; he's completely enthralled by the way your body provides for his baby daughter.
Posterity
A gesture that was supposed to be as simple as a loving wake up surprise quickly turns into something more, and plans that were discussed in the past begin to reemerge.
Promises Kept
Acting on a filthy impulse leads into something carnal, and once again, plans from the past reemerge in the heat of the moment... this time with vigor.

After the fall of the Republic, Teleri, who was under Rex's command, was finally free to increase their relationship. They rescued Wolffe and Gregor, as well than other clones, but the four of them stay together. Well, not for long, as Teleri soon gives birth to a little girl. Her father Rex was very happy and proud. But as much as he loves taking care of her and his brother, his heart still belongs to the Republic and he keeps fight for it. His riduur comes along when he leaves for mission, letting the uncle taking care of the baby.
« Ba'vodu at the beach »
« Look at this fierce verd ! » chuckles Gregor, while the baby launches sand to him. It was a sight, this tiny human who wasn’t afraid to attack someone who was probably a giant to her. Tiriki answers to his compliment by babling a « Raaawr », showing her teeth and her hands mimicking claws.
Wolffe, crounched behind the youngling, can’t stopped laughing. He was laughing. It have been an eternity since the last time he have done this trivial thing. He was feeling so light hearted right now. The former commander was so grateful to his blond vod, who gaves him a chance to live in a relatively peace, a reason to wake up on the morning, to smile again. And this reason was indeed Tiriki. He and Gregor was happily taking care of the offspring of Teleri and Rex, when they leaves for some Rebels mission. He loved her so much, and when she was looking at him with her big forest green eyes, a soft smile on her tiny lips, he was feeling like… maybe… maybe he still deserved to live after everything had happen
He get pulled out of his thoughts as Tiriki turned on her butt to face him, and babling while agitated her arms. He grabbed her and she snuggles against him. Wolffe can’t help to grin like an idiot, and howled. The baby Lifted her head and howls back. The other clone sighed dramatically as she clapped her hands and Wolffe praised her. It was their ritual. And she seems to love her uncle as much as her own parents. But… Gregor lifted an eyebrow while whispering :
« if Rex finds out his child can howls perfectly before speaking any words, he is going to end of us. »
« Probably » answered his brother. « But it would be worth it. She is too cute. She would have been the best member of the Wolfpack. » added Wolffe, still grinning, but with a glint of sadness in his eyes. Gregor nodes and pats her head.
Ner verd'ika. My little soldier (Captain Rex x reader)
Request: Hey love your Rex fics ❤️💜 and I’m wondering if you could do a dad!rex fic and the rest of his brothers being over protective uncles. Requested by @tobitofunction
Words: 1k
The sound of the door opening and little giggles woke you up. You knew he'd be awake early, it was a big day after all. Faking to be still asleep you heard the little boy get closer to you.
"Hey, mom" he whispered carefully poking your cheek with his tiny finger "mom, wake up!" you hummed in response, trying to stop the smirk forming on your lips. "Come on, it's today! It's today!" said your son impatient, shaking your shoulder.
You finally gave up at his excitement and chuckled starting to open your eyes, when you did the first thing you saw was a pretty pair of hazel eyes staring down at you, identical to his father's.
"Come on, get up, we gotta go!" commanded Munin pulling your arm with all his strength trying to get you out of the bed.
You giggled picking him up in your arms and walking towards the kitchen followed of a little "Sir, yes, sir"
Rex was returning to Coruscant today after almost a month in the outer rim and Munin was eager to see his father and so were you.
After getting breakfast and getting ready, you found yourself and your four-year old walking through the GAR base, receiving greetings from other troopers as you passed by, until you reached the hangar where the 501st was supposed to arrive. They were late, again.
Maker, waiting was going to drive the Captain's son crazy, luckily Boil and Waxer offered to help you keep entertain the child meanwhile you helped the 104th to fix an astromech, they had experience with kids after all. Having over a million brothers in law had it's perks.
They played the only game the clones knew, capture the flag. The 212th leaded by Munin, versus the Wolfpack and some other troopers that wanted to play.
"What are your orders, Sir?" questioned Waxer looking down at the tiny boy who seemed very happy with the game.
"Attack!" he yelled raising his little arms in the air.
"You heard him, boys!" and with that the whole hangar became a giant playground full of soldiers running around, faking to fight each other, trying to get to the "enemy's flag " but being careful of not kicking their nephew accidently and getting anything out of his way. They loved the kid. He was part of their family and they would hurt anyone who dared to even laid a finger on one single hair of the little boy.
The 212th won, obviously, they were Munin's team after all.
Finally the 501st made its triumphant entry, making the sound of the motors invade the whole place .
As the gunships entered the hangar you had to stop Munin from running directly to the landing zone, he was so excited, you made him wait until the ships were turned off and it was safe for him.
Once the ship landed and the troopers started to get out of the ship the little boy released himself from your arms and hurried to find his father whom he desperately longed to see. Shaking your head and chuckling you slowly followed your son.
"Daddy! Daddy!" yelled Munin as soon as he spotted Rex.
The man was talking with Skywalker and he turned around at the sound of a little voice screaming, then saw a tiny figure running in his direction. The Captain knelt to embrace his son on his arms, holding him close to his heart.
"How is Ner verd'ika?" my little soldier. He said placing a big kiss on the boy's cheek. "Look at you, Mun, you're as tall as a wookie!" claimed the clone making the boy in his arms bust in laughter.
Rex observed for a moment how much his kid had grown since the last time the captain had seen him and how much he looked like you when he smiled.
"Daddy, I won at flags!" beamed Munin wanting the attention of his dad back.
"You did?" asked Rex impressed owning a happy nod from the child "that's amazing!"
Munin looked over the Captain's shoulder for a second and screamed at what he found.
"Uncle Fives!" And that was it, suddenly your son was getting out of Rex's arms and running to meet his uncle who greeted him with a little "hey, kiddo!"
You chuckled watching the little boy running away from his father and you took the chance to get closer to your husband.
"You are late, Captain" you said in a teasing tone owning a raised eyebrow from the blond man in front of you.
"Well, you can blame it on the General" he added smirking before grabbing your waist to put you closer into a kiss that was soft and slow, full of love, making sure you knew just how much he had missed you.
The high-pitched laugh of Munin made you both follow the sound. Resting your head over Rex shoulder and with his hand around your waist you admired the product of your love happily playing with Fives.
"He missed you" you murmured "I missed you, Rex"
"I missed you too, cyar'ika" he said placing a tender kiss on your forehead "I'm glad to be back he's growing so fast"
"He is, love" you giggled. "He is" you murmured.
You stayed like that for a while, holding each other close and watching how your little son giggled with his uncles. Enjoying every moment of it secretly wishing he would stay like this forever.
I just read your dad!Rex blurb and omg I can't stop thinking about Rex with twins 😭
rex with twins 😩 i love this so much, i feel my rex-inspired baby fever hitting me like a truck right now — twins are named blue and river for easy writing and reading! ♡
more dad!rex below the cut !
rex had an issue with people who stared at him.
on one hand, he kind of understood their looks. clones with their own kids were a rare but growing sight and while coruscant's natborns felt comfortable staring at him, he felt just as comfortable staring back.
coruscant's clone base was usually the least stressful place to bring the twins. not only because of his familiarity with the area but because he could find every nook and cranny with his eyes closed.
and while his sons knew better than to be rowdy in public, he didn't quite trust them to go off on their own just yet. especially not when they were two freshly-turned five-year-olds with a penchant for exploration.
so, as a preemptive measure for his peace of mind, rex placed blue and river in little backpacks with long leashes that looped around his wrist. it kept them near and it also let them roam within their allotted space.
blue had a curious expression as he waddled around, smiling and waving at all of the friendly faces passing him. he greeted certain commanders and employees with little salutes, often approaching them, as far as his leash would allow, to ask for stickers. by the time he walked back to rex, he had republic stickers on his shirt and one on his forehead.
river was quiet in comparison to his brother. he walked hand-in-hand with his father, staring at friendly and unfamiliar faces with a sort of pouty look that only encouraged smiles rather than deterring them. he never really asked for stickers — it was more of a palm-held-out situation until someone finally got the gist of what he meant.
and as different as the two were, they both had their own reasons for slipping away like ghosts. blue went off to make friends and socialize while river liked to explore and find new things. they were just barely growing into their personalities but rex could see the trouble in their eyes that just grew and grew as they got older.
for now, he kept them on a leash.
"captain on deck!"
the moment rex walked through the bay doors of the aircraft hangar, the call went out and echoed off of the metal walls. among the wandering mechanics and pilots, a group of soldiers clad in blue were lying and seated on the ground. some leaned on their backs with their buckets hanging half off of their heads, snores echoing from underneath their helmets, while those who stood talked amongst themselves.
within the small handful of troopers were fives, echo, jesse, hardcase, tup, and kix. they were talking when the order was shouted, causing them all to bolt up to their feet and line up. by the time rex approached them, they were aligned and prepared for duty.
it was no surprise when rex's two sons caught their attention first. it was a given considering his boys were sporting 501st blue tracksuits and matching booties — courtesy of rex's cyare.
rex, blue, and river marched forward before stopping in front of the poised and proud uncles — a grinning hardcase; a winking fives; echo's gentle smile; kix reaching for his prepped-and-ready pouch of stickers; and tup's silly nose scrunch that made blue giggle and river crack the smallest smile.
"attention!" rex bellowed, causing his loose-legged soldiers to stiffen and stare straight ahead. river and blue both giggled, clinging to their father's legs as they watched him command the small legion of soldiers.
when they looked up at him, they had a certain sense of awe that made rex feel like a hero to his little boys. he put a hand on their heads, turning towards his troop with the crumbs of a smile on his lips.
"today's training exercise is simple," he told the handful of men.
they spared odd glances at one another.
"training? i thought we were doing armory checks?" hardcase grumbled, scratching his head.
"i thought we were doing drills with waxer's group," tup said with confusion, turning to glance at kix.
kix frowned. "i thought we were going for drinks."
fives scratched at his goatee, glancing towards rex as if the captain wasn't giving them an unamused stare. turning back around, he shook his head and gave a pathetic shrug. "i'm gonna be honest. i have no idea why i'm here right now."
echo sighed, palming the side of his face. "rex called us here for..."
his slow gaze turned towards rex, paling at the site of his captain's knowing smile.
rex nudged his twins forward to unclip the leashes from their backpacks. the second they were loose, the two boys looked at one another and gave the sneakiest grins. rex crouched down to his boys' height and gave them both a wink.
"don't make it easy on them," he whispered, pinching their sides to make them giggle. "especially not on the two terror twins."
"okay, daddy," blue whispered, giggling into his palm.
river nodded, brows pinched in competitive determination.
"ready?" rex coaxed, nudging them forward.
they both nodded.
"unattentive, impatient, and swift," he explained as he shifted his attention to his troopers. he gestured down to his twins. "this should be easy for you considering you lot share the same habits during our missions. jesse will be watching you all from the eagle's nest and he'll be docking every time you lose one of 'em. the price is an extra hour on cleaning duties. understand?"
all of them nodded with woe.
with a pat on his boys' head, rex gave each of the boys in blue a smile.
"give 'em hell," he said, winking.
the second they took off in a sprint, the formation of soldiers dissolved and they scrambled like roaches, arms extended with the hope of capturing an energetic toddler.
rex's smile became smug as he walked towards the hangar doors. cody leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest, brow arched in interest.
"you have to do all that to keep them entertained?" he muttered, shaking his head as they left the scene of the crime. "obi's mates just take them whenever we need an eye on tobias."
rex shrugged and threw his arm around cody's neck, drawing him close. "cyare deserves a day at the library and i deserve a drink with my vod."

Ive been binge reading all your post order 66! Rex content for the past few days and let me tell you.. they are so incredibly immaculate thank you for this 😭❤
However i was thinking... a while back there was this tik tok trend where when someone was pregnant their s/o would come up from behind and hold their belly for a little while to relieve some of the stress off of their back. So my question is, so you think post order 66! Rex would do that for his s/o? Thoughts?!
Ahhhh thank you so much for reading and for your kind words ♡ to answer your question: yes! When it comes to the pregnancy and his growing baby girl, Rex is very much involved and wants to be prepared for anything and everything - so, naturally, he’s been doing his research. He’s a man who needs to have a plan in place for every move - predetermined, or if something ends up being totally off the wall - he’s going to be ready for it.
I don't have a tik tok so I had to google what you were referring to and !!!!! yes, he'd totally do that. Rex has been researching what the pregnancy should be like and what to expect. He's wanted this for far too long, and is so so so ecstatic that he's going to have a baby girl with the love of his life - a source of light in this darkening galaxy. He understands that pregnancy is no walk in the park, and quite honestly can’t bear to see his love in pain or in discomfort, so he has found a few things he could do to help out as much as he's able to without being totally overbearing and suffocating - including the belly lift thing.
“...our baby doesn’t warrant your strategic battle planning, Rex.”
“Well... they’re not too different.”
<<<>>>
"You want to... lift my belly? Does it even fucking move," you chuckle nervously - incredulous.
"Just trust me, cyare. It'll help. I read that it would."
Ever since he got that new holopad, he’s been nonstop with the research and planning, and, well, preparing. It’s sweet, to see Rex this way. He’s gotten so soft these last few months, and you can tell that Priya is going to have him wrapped around her tiny, wrinkled finger the very moment she makes her debut - even more so than she already has from the shelter of your tummy.
You watch the gleam in his honey eyes grow before he’s stepping out from in front of you to take his position behind your back. Lifting your arms from your sides as instructed, Rex slides his own through yours and places his hands under the curve of your belly - his bare palms comparable to a soothing heating pad. Taking a deep breath, you nod your head and shut your eyes - the immense pressure suddenly letting up. As your head tips back to fall against his shoulder, a deep sigh of relief passes through your lips and your shoulders droop.
It feels like you’re floating - all the weight you’ve been carrying for months having just been taken off your back in the matter of seconds.
“Better?” The cocky yet warm smile is evident in his soft, gravelly voice. You rest your hands over his and nod again, and Rex places a smiley kiss to your temple.
Rex’s relieving hold of your bantha belly within his magic, protective hands ends far too soon, though.
“Okay, I’m going to lower your belly very slowly,” he states after another quick kiss to your head. With your hands still firmly resting over his, he continues, “Are you ready?” Humming a confirmation over your shoulder, Rex begins the process of lowering your lifted bump. Several seconds pass before you remove your hands from his, but he opts to keep his palms resting just where they are. Your back is still pressed to his toned, naked chest, and his chin goes to lay against the curve of your shoulder - you’re perfectly enveloped by the man you love. The two of you stand there just like that for another few, peaceful minutes; tears begin to form in your eyes when Rex starts to murmur how much he loves you and the baby, how he's so excited to meet Priya, and how everything doesn’t feel like he’s still in the midst of battle anymore with his little family growing, as his hands rub gentle circles across your bump.
<<<>>>
(I’ll include a link to this ask in the Post-Order 66 Rex Collection tbh)
Rex blowing raspberries on Priya's little tummy to make her giggle. Her laughter making him laugh until the whole house is full of their joy. That's all.
oh my GOD. this is the purest most wholesome thing in the world and it made my night. I MISS THE GAYIYLA FAMILY.
Rex's absolute pride and joy is his baby girl. He created her out of love - she wasn't grown in a tube as he was. He wants to do right by her. He wants to keep her safe, healthy, and happy. He wants to make her laugh because that is the best sound in the galaxy he is sure of it. When he hears her cackle uncontrollably, or even when she's fussing as all babies do, he is only reminded of how far he's come and that everything he wanted long ago had finally come into fruition.
He can't recall ever laughing as hard before as he does now when he's with his wife and baby - real, joyous laughter that makes his abdomen throb as he coughs up a lung trying to recover. Rex is content - growing the yot beans, working with his hands, and caring for his little family on their Dantooine homestead.
The kid had nodded off about three turns ago, arms folded under his head like a pillow.
Adjusting, but not waking, him, Rex glanced down at the little guy, soft smile crossing his mouth as they made their way through the rubble of the lab.
This is that hour after Rex came to and found Roman nearby but just before the incident that caused Roman to overload and burn himself.
The Gorgeous Future!Rex Design is @morganitedraws , though HERE^^^ he has short hair.
This is the start to Roman’s clingy years (ending when he’s around 5-6 ish)
Drawing cuddly baby Roman and Dad!Rex makes me happy okay?
