HC + fatherhood! -iwantedhimdead
( @iwantedhimdead | â )
oh man. i have a lot of feelings about this particular topic, as you know! so thank you for sending this because honestly i will never get tired of talking about the way scott mccallâs eyes would light up each and every time he looks at his child. youâre about to get a bunch of headcanons and/or word vomit because i can already tell i wonât be able to stop myself.
when he finds out FOR SURE that heâs going to be a dad, heâs probably slightly nervous? like heâs no doubt so excited at the same time, which overshadows any of his fears. but i feel like at the back of his mind heâd be thinking about how his own dad wasnât very good at the whole fatherhood thing and heâd be worried that he wonât be, either. part of scott would know that isnât/doesnât have to be true- heâs not rafael- but heâd still be worried about it for a little while, especially right after he learns heâs going to be a parent and the reality sinks in.
okay but then when he gets to hold his son or daughter in his arms for the first time, heâs literally the happiest heâs ever been. heâd have a moment where heâs just so in love with his tiny baby and his internal monologue is like âi will do anything and everything it takes to protect you from ever feeling even the slightest amount of pain.â and heâs just so smiley and also probably a little teary because heâs so damn happy. scott mccall deserves this much happiness.
scott would make sure his kid knows how much theyâre loved- heâs definitely had moments where his own dad made him feel like he wasnât, and naturally he would never want that for his child. this translates to scott being SUCH a supportive father- like, if his son or daughter plays lacrosse? scottâs at every single game, cheering them on. and heâs really good at following up with mccall jr. whenever they mention an upcoming test or a problem with a friend or something along those lines; he gives his advice and makes sure he finds out how things went. he genuinely cares, of course, and his kid will never have to question that.
lastly, for your consideration- mr. true alpha + his baby teaming up and begging his partner to let them bring home a dog because thereâs this really cute one at the clinic, it wonât be any trouble and i think itâs a great idea, please?! and this would happen like twice a month tbh.
tl;dr- fatherhood would, without a doubt, look very good on scotty.
