Yes, Clyde is incredibly involved with his kids’ lives!

I’m sure he’d like his kids to be into playing sports, but if they aren’t, he doesn’t force them to stick with it. If they have another interest he encourages them to do that, and if he can, he gets involved with whatever that is. 

Yeah, I’m crying. This one got me good. 

He’s so proud and confident in his suit with his daughter by his side. She thinks the world of him and that does wonders for Clyde’s confidence. 

From the very beginning, Clyde is at every doctor’s appointment and ultrasound with you. Basically, he’s very involved with everything.

You’re right, Clyde absolutely asks where the babies are and he does have individual “conversations” with each of them, but sometimes he talks to both of them at the same time.

It is important to Clyde that his babies know he sees them as individuals. 

I think part of why it’s so important to him is because he knows what it’s like to be overshadowed by your sibling(s) and have people assume things about you because of them. 

Oh, absolutely!

Clyde would definitely attend all sorts of classes such as infant CPR, etc. Another reason is that he loves to learn. So, of course he wants to learn whatever he can to help better his baby’s life. 

You’re so proud of him for learning so much. You often ask him questions, etc. He lights up when he tells you stuff, it makes him feel needed, and confident.

Anon, why would you do this to me?

I think about this often. I will say that I’m glad someone else thinks about it too.

As you said, Clyde is so worried. He’s such a large man. His baby is so small and delicate compared to him. You’re right, his girl does reassure him the whole time. 

The nerves go away after a while, but he’s still extremely cautious while he holds them. It takes him a while to be comfortable holding them while he stands up. So, while you’re recovering in the hospital he’s mainly seated in the chair next to the hospital bed with his baby in his arms.

About four o'clock in the morning, Clyde was awakened by a strange noise from the living room. Slowly opening his eyes, he glanced first at the clock on the nightstand, and then turned his head in your direction. You were sleeping soundly, your hair in a plait was disheveled, and one hand rested on your husband’s waist. The noise was repeated, so he threw back the covers, got out of bed, and left the bedroom. A few lights were dimly lit in the hallway to avoid hitting furniture or falling down the stairs, but Clyde tripped over a stuffed dinosaur toy on the last few steps. Carefully picking up the toy, he went into the living room, where a small girl lay wrapped in a large plush blanket on the sofa. A black Labrador sat next to her, its nose buried in a small cheek, while a tiny hand stroked the dog’s head. Thanks to the light above her head, Clyde quickly noticed the trail of tears on her face.

«Sweetheart, why aren’t you sleeping?» «I had a nightmare … that I was lost in the woods and … and you and mom weren’t looking for me» panting, she began to cry again, clutching the blanket tightly in her small fist. «Oh, honey…»

Clyde carefully sat down on the sofa and gently pulled the girl to him, wrapping his left arm around her back while his right hand gently stroked her loose, wavy hair. For a long time, he was afraid to walk in front of his daughter without a prosthesis, so as not to frighten her, but his beloved pumpkin was never afraid of him. For her, Clyde was a real hero, the best and kindest dad in the world, who always reads her the most interesting books, watches cartoons with her and plays the most delicious tea parties.

«Darling, your mother and I love you more than anything in the world, and we will never leave you. Why didn’t you wake us up right away?» He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks, slowly rocking back and forth to comfort her.

«I thought you’d be upset if I woke you up. I went downstairs to get a drink, but while I was moving the chair to get on it, I … I dropped the glass and broke it,» she nuzzled the curve of his neck. « I thought you were going to scold me»

«Pumpkin, it’s not your fault that you had a nightmare and there’s nothing wrong with breaking a glass. You know very well that the main thing for your mother and me is that you are happy and healthy, so you can always come to us with any problem. Ok?» gently stroking her back, Clyde knew that he would never be able to yell at her or hurt her, or he would never forgive himself. For him, his daughter is the most precious thing in the world and he will do everything to make her always happy.

«Okay, daddy» «Well, then why don’t we quickly remove the glass so no one gets hurt, and then go to bed?» with a slow nod, she carefully climbed down from Clyde’s lap,throwing the blanket back on the sofa. She held out her hand. «Let’s go»

After 5 minutes, the broken glass was carefully collected and thrown out, Clyde poured a new Cup of water and gave it to his daughter. Taking the mug from her later, he lifted the girl in his arms and called the dog to him. It was dark in the nursery, so Clyde laid her gently on the bed and then turned on the night light. The small figure of a rabbit lit up the room enough to make it easier to sleep alone, but not too bright to prevent sleep. Closing the window so that the cold wind would no longer enter the room, he drew the curtains and returned to the bed.

There are a lot of tears from both of you, Clyde absolutely peppers your face with kisses, and he holds you in his arms. He's even more cuddly when he finds out.
