Teen!Ghost, glaring at his plate: I don't like cooked carrots

Teen!Gaz, loudly: *sarcastically* OH THANK GOD! We were ALL wondering!!

Nik: *snorts*

Price: Kyle-

Teen!Ghost: *throws a carrot at Teen!Gaz*

Owen, Price and Nicks FTM teen: “I open my pad loudly in public restrooms, to assist domestic.”

Price, with a shocked look on his face: “is this what you kids do nowadays…?”

Nikolai, who know his child to well: “well know it’s our freak of a child, no.”

Price: …..

Nik and Price getting into an argument one night because Nik's been acting a bit off all day.

Price knows that getting Nik to open up and talk about feelings or personal matters is like pulling teeth, but today it's worse. It's almost worse than the time he had to basically interrogate Simon into admitting he has feelings for Soap.

Nik eventually caves and admits something that absolutely breaks Price's heart and he just has no idea how to fix it.

Nik admits he feels "inadequate" to be one of Bailey's parents.

He's not good at helping with her panic attacks, or finding creative ways to get her to eat something without making it feel like a chore. He's not good at emotions anyways, and he's really struggling to communicate things appropriately with their autistic daughter. He just genuinely feels like nothing he does for her/by her is good enough, and that he's just leagues behind Price.

He admits it breaks his heart that she calls Price "Dad" but still calls him "Nik". He never thought he'd want to be a father. He genuinely never did think he'd ever make it that far in life.

But now? Now they have a daughter, technically, but he doesn't feel like her father.

Price is devastated. He had no idea his husband felt this way, and he's just heartbroken to know Nik would have taken this burden to the grave if he had to.

Teen!Ghost, teen!Gaz, & teen!Farah: *run out of the room*

Nik, holding a oblivious kid!Roach to him: Oh it's not THAT serious

Teen!Ghost: *runs back in and grabs a now giggling kid!Roach before running back out with him*

Teen!Ghost: Be gay

Price: Wasn't that your resolution last year?

Teen!Ghost: ... be gayer

Price:

Price: How was the haunted house?

Teen!Ghost, with a grim face: Lame

Price: Really? You were so excited to go

Teen!Gaz: Don’t-

Teen!Ghost: OH. IT WAS GREAT. AT FIRST. THEN THEY PUT SLIME ON ME

Price:

Teen!Ghost: AND I COULDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING. IT WAS ON MY HANDS. WE HAD TO GO TO A CORNER STORE TO GET IT OFF

Nik, rubbing his shoulders: Hey hey. It's gone, it'll never happen again

Price: Nik, this is nice and all, but where is everything else that was in the fridge?

Nik: Well....about that...

Price: Nik, what did you do

Nik: We had space in the garage and....

Price:....Oh my god nik

Nik: We now have two fridges

John asking Simon to grab him a bottle of coconut water when he said he was going to the corner store. Only the kid returned with a coke and water.

"Simon..."

"What? You wanted a coke and water!"

"Coconut water."

Simon stared before it hit him, "Oh!"

John snorted, accepting the two beverages anyways as Kyle and Farah laughed over Simon's blunder. When Nik returned home that evening, he didn't wait to tell him about the mishap.

It was funny, but Nik focused on the wrong part.

"Did you not get your coconut water?"

"No?"

He saw the gears turning, Nik was going to do something. But he said nothing, deciding to let fate take hold and let whatever happens happen. Two days, it took Nik two days to buy coconut water in bulk. Maybe replacing everything in the kitchen fridge was a but much, but John still laughed when he saw the fridge packed with his preferred choice of coconut water.

"Nik! What is this?"

"I got you coconut water!"

And another fridge. To house everything that got taken out of the kitchen fridge. The kids thought it was funny, too. They probably helped.

Price. “Why didn’t he call me??????!!!”

Teenghost: pls chill dads, Niks just better with cars.

Also this just made me think. Simon is their first baby. He’s always gonna be their babby

Simon recognizing he was in trouble, the car was broken down and he and his friends didn't know how to fix it.

In the middle of the night, he calls his dad, knowing he'll help. Yeah, he's in trouble for helping 'borrow' a car from a car lot. He sneaked out, they didn't know he was out. Even though he'd be in trouble, he knew Nik wouldn't hesitate and would be there.
