The Doodle Nerd

Finally decided to throw my hat in the fanfiction ring and sat down and wrote the first chapter of my story about Eugene and Katrina having a baby. It’s not the best but it’s a decent first try. 

They don't do full Montessori, but Eugene did a lot of research and is into it.

Parenting books, pregnancy books, infant books, health books, too many books

Connie bought them way too many Baby's First Coding books, A Baby's Introduction to Astrophysics, ect gag books. Eugene didn't get it was a joke at first. Katrina explained it to him.

They don't spank. Whit gives them a hard time about that parent decision and doesn't really let it go. Basically, anytime the kid acts out Whit either makes a comment or makes a knowing face.

Whit isn't allowed to babysit. Those privileges go to Connie, Katrina's parents, and Bernard. Wooton and Penny can be emergency babysitters if need be, but Eugene is really concerned both their house and them as people are "too over stimulating for a growing mind"

Katrina's parents tried to hire them a full-time nanny but Katrina convinced them they had it handled.

buck oliver, brand new to the meltsner house, finding the same brand he always picked up at gas stations back when he traveled highways with mr. skint, and feeling some sort of relief in a familiar taste of "home"

katrina meltsner needing something quick to eat in the ten minutes before driving out to one of those teacher conferences she always busies herself with

eugene meltsner needing something to eat while surrounding himself in his research about the hippocampus

katrina getting home late on a friday afternoon after a long day of teaching and wanting something to eat before hurrying to catch buck's football game at some high school towns away

buck, awake way too late at night, curled up on the couch eating ramen and watching tv while his parents are asleep across the hall

buck, crashing in his dad's lab to help analyze algae samples and bringing two packs of ramen with him because katrina's off in chicago and there's not much else around the house to eat

the meltsner family in baltimore, seated on unpacked boxes in their new apartment, eating ramen because it's quick, easy, and the only thing they've been able to find amidst their boxes of books, tech, and science equipment

I would like to add Buck finding out how many times Eugene and Katrina have been kidnapped and being shocked and Katrina responding with: What? You thought you were the only one who's kidnapped me?

Buck would also be mind blown to find out that his parents spent months (years? How long were they gone?) on the run from both an evil company and also possibly the government.

Buck: My parents, who don't even run through stop signs, were on the run from an evil corporation?

Katrina: That murdered my father, yes.

Buck: Wha- Is there anything else I should know?

Eugene: Mr. Shanks was at least able to witness our marriage before he passed.

Katrina: Yes, I'm thankful Brandon was able to officiate our wedding on such short notice.

oh, hey, jay's in high school

this article sounds like a vaguely sketchy ploy

id like to imagine he was just scouring town for his wife's cop car so he could find her and check on her (also i loved her "it has been a day"). for sure a fan of zoe's parents

oh hey i was right

at least she texted her parents??

that was predictable

aw man nooo olivia :/

honestly same, most of the time I've just viewed Zoe as an entity to herself, kind of floating around on her own (although I loved the Friend in Need episode, and that involved her mom)
