Bad idea or Not?

Techno x singlemom!Reader

Drabble

Techno wouldn’t care. He’d love your kid just as much as he loved you, they are simply an extension of you. Techno would be there for anything you needed, babysitting, dentists appointments for the kid. You remember that one time where you were stuck at work and there’d been an incident at school, he was the first one you called, he rushed over and set things straight instantly defending your child.

You came home to him playing with, let’s say your son, Apollo. Techno making aeroplane noises as his large hand moved the toy plane around in the air while your six year old son giggled loudly and excitedly.

Your heart was warmed and you felt your eyes stinging with tears at the sight. When you first met Techno you had tried hard to avoid him, not wanting to date anyone since the let down of Apollo’s father. When he left due to you getting pregnant it was a giant kick to your self esteem. You hadn’t felt worth it anymore and honestly not the most attractive either.

So when Techno persued you, you almost couldn’t believe it. Even when you had rejected him out of fear, he continued to court you coming into the diner where you worked and watching you with a smile while you served others. All he thought about was persuading you to quit so you’d never have to serve other people again. He had more than enough money to support you if you’d simply let him.

Finally, after a few months of him flashing his gorgeous pearly whites at you and making you feel all giddy with the sweet nicknames and phrases he spouted with that monotonous voice of his, you relented and let him take you on a date. You were shy and a bit withdrawn still, fussing over yourself and worrying about how you looked.

He eased them, ‘you look ravishing darlin’, it made butterflies erupt in your stomach, and your fussing ceased. He took you to a nice restaurant, wining and dining you like he had been promising he would. The whole night was actually going well and he’d managed to get you to relax enough to enjoy yourself until the babysitter called saying she had an emergency and she had to leave as soon as possible.

You obviously started rushing away, apologising profusely as you did. Techno chucked some money on the table and ran after you. He caught up to you and offered you to drive you home, after not being able to hail a cab you relented, he was your ride after all. The drive home was tense, you were so scared to tell him about your son not that you were embarrassed by him, not at all. You knew you’d done a good job raising him, but you knew the stigma around single moms and from past experiences when guys had asked you out only to back out when they’d found out you had a kid.

You didn’t want it to happen again, not after the lovely evening you had had and particularly not after the feelings that were growing for the man driving you home tonight.

You’d arrived, thanking him sufficiently with a kiss on the cheek for good measure before exiting the car rather quickly. You were so busy running away that you completely missed Techno’s worried expression, his softened eyes, and him getting out of the car to follow you.

As you unlocked the door, Sophia was pulling on her coat with a sad look on her face. “Do you have to go? We haven’t done story time yet!” Apollo whined.

“How about doing it with me buddy?” You smiled as your son’s eyes lit up at the sight of you home early, a rare occasion when you were working indeed.

“Mommy!” He squealed happily running into your arms. He hugged you tightly as you kissed his cheek. “Who’s that?” Apollo’s question had you turning around to see Techno staring down at you from where you were crouched.

“Sorry I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” He apologised, smiling softly at the little boy who gave him a small wave.

You just know he's cry and never ever wanna put the baby down like "yes I'm aware this is your infant but have you considered. Leaving them with me for a few days 🥺👉👈"

Yesssss I have written something like this! You can check that out here!

But this concept makes me so soft guys. Like you guys get home and you take a few days to yourself to adjust to this new lifestyle with the baby and everything. Finally when you’re ready, the three of you make a trip to L’Manberg so the baby can meet their grandfather. You of course go to Philza’s house first. I imagine you forget to tell him you’re coming over, new parent brain and all that, so he’s confused when he answers the door but immediately melts and welcomes you guys inside. He hugs Techno tightly and then hugs you a lot gentler because you’re holding the baby. But you guys make your way into the living room and Phil sits down on the couch and holds his arms out and makes grabby hands towards you. You cannot help but grin and walk over, lean down and pass the baby into his arms. He immediately knows what to do, holding the baby to his chest, supporting the head, things like that. You move and sit next to Techno who wraps his arm around you and you lean your head on his shoulder. You two watch as Phil just starts babbling nonsense to the baby. Just simple things like “Hi! Yes hello! I’m your Papa Phil. Aren’t you just perfect? Yes hi!” and your heart is so warm because you know he has so much love for that baby. The three of you begin talking about things like how the first night went, how they’re adjusting how you’re adjusting and stuff. At one point you mention that you’re just really tired because the baby has kept you up all night and Phil’s like, “I don’t mind. If you wanna take a nap, I can watch them” and you’re like “Are you sure” and he’s like “Absolutely” so Techno and you cuddle up on the couch and fall asleep for a bit. 

When you wake up, there is something being cooked in the kitchen. As you try and get up, Techno wakes from his nap too, letting out a little whine because you’re trying to escape his grasp. But you two walk into the kitchen and find Phil with a baby carrier strapped to his chest and your child is sitting there just snuggled into his chest. It’s such a sweet sight. Phil is bouncing back and forth on his feet to bounce the baby and he’s humming quiet lullabies to keep the child calm. Before you can make your presence known he turns around and gives you a bright smile, “Have a nice nap?” He asks. “Yeah, thanks dad… I can take them back if you want” You offer, motioning to the baby on his chest. Philza moves backwards protectively and is like “No it’s okay… I’ve got them....” He finishes dinner and you three eat. At one point Philza has to give you the baby back because it’s feeding time. 

Modern day

Warnings: realistic life, teething, looking after a 10 month old baby, Techno being a dad, Techno’s towel is too low on his hips and we miss it.

It’d been an already tiresome evening with your ten month old teething, she screamed and screamed and no matter how hard you or your husband tried nether of you could calm her. Until finally after three hours of constant wails she fell asleep to sweet piano lullaby’s you had found on your phone.

You placed her in her cot and practically ran out of the room back downstairs, twenty. Minutes. Later. She’s awake again screaming. You’re up and in her room picking her up to soothe her to no avail. You loved your daughter so much, but from how tired you were from this happening every night for the past week you had to chant that it wasn’t her fault this was happening in your head.

You needed a break.
