Calling For You | R.B.

Your youngest daughter wakes up and immediately wants her dad — dad!regulus x mom!reader fluff

warnings: none :)

words: 0.4k

You gently nudged your elbow into Regulus’ chest to wake him up. He hummed quickly with his eyes still closed, trying to ask why you woke him up even though words weren’t forming yet. 

“Ascella’s up; She wants you.” You mumbled, wanting to stay asleep as well. 

Your previous words were proven right when Ascella’s high-pitched cry for her father tore through the hallway. 

Regulus shook his head. “No, I definitely heard ‘mama’.”

She definitely said ‘dada’. Just over a year old and she was already a daddy’s girl. 

He was up late reading to her last night. Every time he finished a story and put her down in her crib, she would become more awake than ever. You understood that Regulus was tired, but you also knew your little Ascella wanted her dad. 

“Reg, you know she’s not going to be happy if I go in there instead of you.” You tried again. 

“Yes she will, she’s a happy baby.”

Just when you were about to get up and attempt to calm her down anyways, the sound of your door opening and a small fist pounding against the wood filled the room and interrupted your action. 

“Dad, Ascella’s calling for you. She’s so loud even though she’s so little.” You looked at Perseus covering his ears as he said the last part and his little gesture made you smile. 

You turned your head to your husband. “I told you she wants you.”

Regulus let out a groan as he stood up. “Alright, I’ll go to her.” He trudged across the room, patting your son on the back as he was too tired for a good morning hug. 

The little boy ran to you as soon as his dad left the room, and he took Regulus’ place beside you. Even though you knew you would have to get up soon, a good cuddle was impossible to resist.

You pulled Perseus into your arms and pressed a kiss to the hair he had inherited from his dad’s side of the family. “I’m so glad you don’t wake us up like that anymore.”

Ma'am, your daughter is not okay. Her favourite trope is found family

[starzionn]

jegulus picking harry up from preschool but one of the moms starts obnoxiously flirting with james while they wait for the kids to be dismissed. james is somewhat clueless, because he’s so social and thinks she’s just making polite conversation. he pleasantly engages while regulus is literally fuming right next to him. the lady is like twirling her hair n shii and openly hitting on james, while regulus is standing right there. so while the lady is complementing james’ figure, gushing on and on, “gosh, i can tell you work out a lot , you must be so dedicated!” regulus interjects their conversation and says, “yeah, his figure is even better when you’ve seen all of it-“

james jolts in suprise, blushing, scolding, “reg!” the mom looks towards regulus for the first time and sneers in a challenge. regulus shoots her a smug expression right back, reciprocating the challenge. it’s that moment when the kids start pouring out the building and harry runs out yelling “pa!!!!” “dad!!!!”. reg kneels, prompting harry to jump into his arms. when he does, reg swings him up with an enthusiastic “heyy buddy!” and “how’s my little haz-elnut?” while harry giggles, reg leans him towards james so he can greet his son as well, and while james is busy cooing over harry regulus shoots the now sour-faced woman a wink before starting off with his gorgeous husband and adorable little boy. moral of the story; don’t challenge regulus black.

[ricochetyears]

everyone’s always talking about how james is such an amazing dad, and yeah, he’s awesome, but can we take a moment to talk about regulus as a parent? i mean, let’s just agree that he’s sooo attentive, and sooo loving, and he always lets their kid hang out with him in the kitchen while he’s cooking or cleaning, just listening to them go off about random stuff like, "daddy, mr. snuggles (aka the stuffed bunny) said he doesn’t like carrots. we had a fight." and regulus will give this exaggerated shocked look and be like, "no way? seriously? you’re telling me?" all wide-eyed and dramatic, and they’ll just go back and forth like that for hours, because their kid’s got the same endless chatter as james

[bluedahlia912]

Headcanon that Effie always used to make Christmas cookies and James loved them, especially the thumbprints. One day he comes into the kitchen to see Harry standing on a chair while Regulus directs him to press his little thumbs into each cookie, and he melts on the spot. Later, when he tries them, it’s just like Effie is still there with them.

[reysdriver]

hi!! just wondering id you could possible make more dad!regulus fics?

you have some news you keep meaning to share with Regulus, but it's a struggle to find the time to tell him — dad!regulus x mom!reader fluff

warnings: reader is pregnant if you couldn't already tell from the description, I guess a little bit of angst and anxiety but it's mostly sweet

words: 2.4k

a/n: sorry this took so long, I'm actually so slow with requests and its a problem lol but I hope you like this! (also I'm testing out my man Mark as an alternative fancast for Regulus here)

All week, you’d been keeping a secret from your husband. 

It’s not that you hadn’t wanted to tell Regulus, you just hadn’t found the right opportunity. With two young children, it’s hard to find a moment alone for a serious discussion, but you knew that moment would come soon enough. 

If that moment came today, that would be preferable. You were ready to tell your husband you were pregnant again, and you were hoping you didn’t have to wait any longer. 

When Regulus came home from work, Aurora was napping and Perseus was upstairs playing in his room. Your husband dropped his stuff by the door and met you in the kitchen, wrapping his arms around you while you tended to the food on the stove. 

“Hi.” You giggled, melting into his touch. “How was work?”

“It was good.” He responded, then pressed a kiss to your cheek before letting go of you. “How was your day? How were the kids?”

“Wonderful, as always. We went for a walk, did some crafts, and now they’re both upstairs.”

As you spoke, you fixed some curly locks of his hair that were astray, and Regulus watched you, just as in love as when you had first gotten together. 

“You look like you’re a couple minutes away from falling asleep.” Regulus noted. “Are you alright?” 

You nodded lazily. “I’m fine. I think it’s just from how long it took to get Aurora to bed for her nap.”

That was a lie. You knew it was the pregnancy causing you to feel tired, just as it had been for the last couple days. You weren’t sure why you made up an excuse instead of just telling him right then and there. 

“Okay.” He said, skeptical about your answer but doing a wonderful job at hiding it. “Do you want to rest while I finish up dinner? Even just for a little bit?”

“I’m alright, love, really.” 

With that, you leaned forward and pressed your lips to his, your hands tangled in the same hair you had just fixed. You decided while kissing him that now was a good time to tell him. 

But before you let go of him, you heard a cascade of footsteps coming down the stairs, which caused you to break the kiss and ditch your mission of telling Regulus.

Perseus ran straight to his dad, so excited to see his dad after he was away at work all day. The little boy wrapped his arms tightly around his father’s legs, and Regulus leaned down to hug him back as well as he could. 

“Hey, Perse, did you miss me?” He asked, even though he could make an educated guess on that answer.

“Yes!” The boy nodded. “But I had a good day at home with Mummy!”

“Thank you, baby.” You smiled at him while you continued stirring the pot on the stove. 

Your son let go of his dad’s legs, but kept looking up at him. “I drew you a picture today! It’s upstairs in my room.”

“Do you want to show it to me?” Regulus asked. 

“After dinner. Can I help Mummy cook?”

Regulus lifted Perseus up and sat him on the counter next to you. “That’s a question for her.”

Your little boy looked at you with pleading eyes, hoping he could help you out, even if that just meant stirring the sauce a couple times. 

“I’m almost done, but you can still help me.” You said, handing him the wooden spoon. “Here, you can stir this gently. It’s all hot, so be very careful.”

He nodded, and did as you asked. While he did so, he continued chatting happily with Regulus about all the things you and the kids did today. And when dinner was over, you lifted Perseus off the counter and thanked him heavily for his ‘help’. 

Then as you plated it all, you asked Regulus if he could go wake up your daughter and bring her downstairs to eat with you all. He went upstairs, and by the time all the food was on the dinner table, he was coming back, this time with Aurora in his arms.

Her hair was messy from her nap and she was still yawning, but she seemed happy to see you and Regulus, plus a table of food right beside you both. 

She babbled the word “mama” as you took her from Regulus and sat her down in her high chair. 

“Yes, mama’s here.” You smiled. “And dada, and Perse, and dinner. Let’s eat!”

After dinner, you and Regulus sat on the couch as Perseus and Aurora played on the carpet in front of you, sometimes inviting you into whatever they were doing. The whole time, you were curled up close to your husband, thinking about how you were going to have another baby soon enough, and he had no idea yet. 

You could have whispered it to him right there; the moment was sweet enough. But you still wanted to tell him when it was just the two of you, then let the kids know after that. 

But you did still whisper something to him. Instead of telling him about the pregnancy, you kissed his cheek and spoke softly close to him. “I love you.” 

“I love you too.” He affirmed, lifting your hand lightly and kissing just above your wedding ring. 

You smiled and cuddled up even closer to Regulus—if that was even possible—and exhaled calmly. 

Later, you and Regulus took the kids upstairs, gave them their baths, and then started running through the usual nighttime routine. As monotonous and tiring as it could be sometimes, you really did cherish bedtime at home. 

It always ended with cuddles while you read or told a story to the kids, then getting into bed with your husband, and ever since Perseus was born, that’s been your favourite way to end a day.

You had decided between you and Regulus that you would put Perseus to bed and he would put Aurora in her crib. Once you finished reading Perseus his favourite storybook and he admitted that he was feeling sleepy, you tucked him in tightly and pressed a kiss to the apple of his cheek. 

“Goodnight, sweetheart.” You whispered. 

“Goodnight, Mummy.” 

And with that, you got up and closed the door quietly on your way out. You walked down the hall to your bedroom, where Regulus was already sitting on the bed in his pyjamas, reading the book he was keeping on his nightstand. 

“She went to sleep quickly?” You asked, picking out a nightgown from your drawer. 

“Yeah, really quick.” Regulus responded. “I think playing with her brother tired her out.”

“Well, whatever the reason is, I’m okay with it ‘cause it means we have more time to ourselves.” You teased, heading to the privacy screen in the corner while you changed. 

Since having two kids who constantly wanted to be around their parents and had a habit of walking in at the wrong times—sort of like tonight—the door lock and the privacy curtain, which once seemed like nothing but decoration, were now used quite frequently. 

“You can’t just say something like that and then hide from me!” Regulus called out.

You smiled and peeked your head out from the partition. “Can’t I?” 

Regulus shook his head amusedly and returned to his book while you changed. Once you were done, you threw your dress in the hamper and sat on the bed next to your husband. 

“You look stunning tonight, you know that?” Regulus told you, putting down his book and turning to face you. “I love that nightgown on you.”

You rolled your eyes, but crawled even closer to him. “You like anything on me.” 

“Well, of course.” He said, reaching out and cupping your face, bringing his lips to your temple. “But you look even more gorgeous than usual tonight. It’s not just the nightgown.” 

Regulus had always been quite skilled in flattering you. But tonight, his words were so much more than that, whether he knew it or not.

You laid down, then brought one hand his dark hair, and placed the other on his chest, smoothly pulling him down so he could properly kiss you. He melted into your touch, as always, and leaned down to get as close to you as he could. 

Your husband kissed you deeply, yet sweetly. So perfect, you closed your eyes and it felt like you were floating. 

While Regulus had one arm pressed down against the mattress to keep himself up and stable on top of you, his other hand found your waist, caressing lightly and pulling you closer. 

Then that’s when you felt the rush you’d been waiting to feel all week; this was finally the moment. 

You broke the kiss and gently pushed Regulus off of you. He looked slightly concerned.  he was worried he’d accidentally done something that had upset you, but that couldn’t have been further from the case. 

Seeing it on his face and wanting to let him know everything was alright before you actually spoke, you reached out and held his hand, offering a bit of comfort and reassurance.  

You spoke quietly. And you were nervous despite having no reason to be, so you looked into his perfect stormy eyes to ease your nerves. “Regulus, my love, there’s something I need to tell you.”

And just as you opened your mouth to tell him your secret, a low knock at your bedroom door caught your attention.

You sighed and gave Regulus an apologetic look before sitting up and telling Perseus to come in. 

The door opened, and your son walked over to your bed, looking stressed. 

“What’s wrong, honey?” You inquired, holding out your hand and beckoning him over. 

“I can’t find Wilbur.” He replied sadly. 

Oh, Wilbur. He was your son’s second favourite teddy bear, beating out the third place bear by a mile. Perseus couldn’t sleep with at least his top five surrounding him in his bed, so of course it wouldn’t go unnoticed if Wilbur was missing from the group. 

Before you could respond, Regulus was already getting up and scooping the boy into his arms. “Alright, let’s go find him, Perse.”

You started to stand up as well, but Regulus looked back and told you it was alright. 

“Stay in bed, love. We’ll go on a boys trip and find that bear.” He said to you, then turned to Perseus. “We’ll be okay, won’t we?”

That seemed to help cheer him up. Perseus nodded and then looked back over at you. “Yeah, okay. Goodnight again, Mummy!”

You smiled and gave him a small wave. “Goodnight again, baby.”

Then Perseus waved to you over his father’s shoulder, and you smiled back, until he was out of the room and you were completely out of sight. 

But that’s when your smile faded quickly. You couldn’t believe you had just left the conversation with Regulus like that. Of course, neither of you could control the fact that your son needed help with something right in that moment, but you were still quietly panicking. 

You worried that your husband’s mind was racing as much as yours right now, maybe even running to dark places while wondering what you were about to tell him. 

Despite wanting to start pacing around the room in worry, you stayed in bed, just as he had so nicely told you. 

A couple minutes later, you heard footsteps nearing your room, so you tried composing yourself and wiping away any remnants of fear on your face. When Regulus walked in and closed the door behind him, he looked calm. So either he wasn’t worrying at all like you thought he would, or he just did the same thing as you a second ago. 

“Did you find the bear?” You asked him.

Regulus nodded as he walked back towards the bed. “On the couch. Just forgot to bring him up before bedtime.”

“Well, it’s good you found it.” 

There was a silent moment where neither of you knew what to say. But you finally mustered up the words and continued the conversation. 

“Um, what I was going to tell you before—”

“I know.” Regulus said sympathetically.

“Know what?” You asked, unsure if he really knew what you were about to say.

He sat down next to you and placed his hand atop yours. His gaze never broke once, despite how you had your head held, looking at your lap. “I know you’re pregnant.”

“How?” You asked, finally looking up at him again. 

“We have two kids and you still don’t know how it all happens?” He asked with wide, teasing eyes. 

You let out a giggle and rolled your eyes. You could feel all your tension fade, and you realized that was exactly his goal. Regulus was just so good at that. 

“I mean how did you know?”

Regulus acted like he was just understanding your question, which made you laugh again. He looked at you, happy the anxiety you’ve had for the last week was leaving your body. 

“You’ve been tired, the same way you were with Aurora.” He started. “Your time of the month never came. Then you’ve been acting nervous and avoidant. Plus, I can always tell when there’s something off with you. You’re my wife, I know you better than anyone.”

You sniffled. No tears just yet, but they were close. 

“And, I think you’ve already got that glow to you.”

You waved your hand dismissively, doubting his flattery this time. Regulus looked offended that you would even suggest he was lying. 

“I think you’re seeing things.”

“I’m seeing what’s right in front of me, mon ange. You’re stunning. I would never lie to you.”

Instead of responding, you leaned forward and kissed him, once again continuing where you left off before. 

Once you let go, you pressed another gentle kiss to his cheek, then another for good measure. “So you’re happy too? Even though it’s a bit sooner than we were planning?”

“Of course I’m happy. As long as you want this, so do I. A couple months difference from our plan means nothing to me.”

“Good.” You grinned. “Because I’m really excited. But I haven’t even given any thought to names yet. I wanted to wait for you.”

Regulus glanced at the clock near the bed and shrugged. “It’s not too late tonight, want to start thinking?”

You smiled at him and nodded your head. “Go get an astronomy book, my love.”

The thing I love most about the marauders fandom is that fans built it from the ground up and that terf had nothing to do with it.

Rosekiller girl dads this, rosekiller girl dads that

But how?

What if I say, rosekiller who become foster dads of a little boy who finally has the space to realize she's not a boy (once she finds out uncle Reggie was raised a girl) & end up having a trans daughter because they adopt her once they realize her biological parents would kill her for it :(

Childhood friends

Prongs,

I hope you and Lily are doing well. And thank you again for that Polaroid of the boys. They look absolutely adorable. Harry seems to be recovering well after that little injury from a few weeks ago.

Harry and Alphie’s first school year in Hogwarts is fast approaching. Is Harry excited? Alphie hasn’t stopped talking about it on the phone for days. You know, Sirius even told me Alphie has decorated his entire room with Gryffindor banners, despite Regulus advising him to wait until the Sorting Hat actually places him in a house.

That said, I stand by my opinion: giving them the Marauder’s Map for Hogwarts is an absolutely terrible idea. You know exactly what Alphie and Harry are like when they’re together… Just think back to what happened with your signed broom.

Take care, and give my regards to Lily.

[miriammctroi]

When Regulus catches Harry and Draco making out at a family function, he gives his stepson a long, long look. He takes a breath, sighs deeply.

"Harry, have you ever even tried not to be a carbon-copy of your father?"
