#dadtaro is wholesome

[silent-sanctum]

Your last fics tearing my hearts apart😭😭Anyways may I request jotaro kujo with a pregnant s/o? He probably would be defensive like that time when Holly got the fever

Ah yes! We have another 2-for-1 special! But let's make it a list of headcanons to switch things up 😉This one's for @lolsandlmaos and anon, and let me just say, yes; I love writing wholesome dadtaro content and I'm glad the audience likes some wholesome dadtaro content too. So, hope you enjoy! ♡

Before I start, can we all just silently agree that Jotaro really just wanted a family of his own canonically?

Think about it, we know he isn't the type to sleep around at random. What if the man wanted what his grandparents had and live a life without the Stand bs? The fact he found somebody and had a kid with her tells us that he tried to make it work, but we know that it didn't as we see in the series.

"I've always cherished you"

He wanted that life. He wanted to be a good father to his daughter. But he couldn't because of the family curse.

Anyways! Let's forget the canon for a moment and delve into some wholesome headcanons!

When he first heard the news, he was pleasantly surprised that he couldn't speak for a solid minute. He simply stared at you with wide eyes and stunned silence.

Later that day, the man is glued to your side holding you in his arms and he's uncharacteristically showing affection: He's nuzzling your neck, planting kisses wherever he could, gently swaying you back and forth, and most importantly, he's often caressing your flat tummy.

Now that's done with, Jotaro's already gone into Papa Wolf mode as early as the first weeks

He knows he isn't the sunny Golden Retriever type of guy like his grandfather or great-grandfather, so he isn't naturally attuned to being a first-time dad. Lowkey, he's anxious he might end up as a shitty husband in the process.

But what he does know is that he loves to research, is adaptable, and is a quick learner

He begins to visit the nearby library and study "maternal and child care". Then proceeds to go over what to do for each trimester, he studies proper diet and eating patterns for pregnant partners, and studiously digests a whole book's worth of "How to be a Good Father".

Being in this mode also means he naturally becomes protective of you. He makes sure that he has time for you and your needs. Want to go anywhere out of the house? He'll be accompanying you there. No doubt.

If anyone even remotely makes a rude remark about you, Star Platinum has already punched their teeth out.

If you thought Jotaro couldn't cook, then think again because when his partner is pregnant, you bet your ass that he'll learn how to cook faster than you expected him to.

At first, he's still working on the basics like knowing what ingredients and kitchen paraphernalia should be used. He has a recipe book or two propped up for him to skim over and study. He even calls Holly for cooking tutorials when he feels like he's hit a learning slump. His mother has already booked a ticket to your place and immediately teaches her son numerous cooking lessons

Weeks later, you're surprised that Jotaro has become a natural in the kitchen, being able to dish out your favorites with seemingly no issue. It turns out that while Jotaro did most of the work, he had Star assist him with the "finer" stuff (i.e. measurements, cutting, etc.)

Suffice it to say, he takes pride in himself that he can now make you smile with his newfound talent.

Then there are the cravings. Of course, when you ask him to buy the most random food combinations, Jotaro would simply say "okay" and buy them anyway, as long as the food choices weren't harmful to you and the baby. He'd also give you food even if you asked him in the ass crack of morning.

Anything to make you happy after all

When it comes to building the nursery, Jotaro leaves you to do the interior designing and aesthetic choices since he's shit at that. But when the furniture arrives in their boxes, then it's time for him to step in and does all the arranging, moving, and assembling for you. Have a planned layout? He'll follow them. Want the walls painted a certain color? No problem.

After you planned everything out and he finished his tasks, the nursery ended up being marine-themed with all the pastel blues and aquatic decor like sea animal plushies, a shell lamp, glow-in-the-dark fish wall stickers, and more bringing life to the place.

Remember when I said he'd do work, yeah he'll do the work. House husband style. He'll do the chores and let you rest, grumpily insisting you sit and relax when you try to convince him that you can do the lighter tasks.

From time to time, when both of you aren't doing anything, Jotaro would occasionally turn to your round stomach and reach forward to caress it, blushing as he does so.

Then a kick happens and the man's fully attuned to you in awe. On the outside, he's still a calm dude but deep down, he's so excited that the baby responded to his touch. You ended up scooting closer to him, seeking cuddles while he reciprocates as he still continues to stroke your tummy.

Jotaro, at this point in his life, has the patience of a monk towards his loved ones, so when the mommy mood swings kick in, he is more than ready to adapt to your every emotional breakdown even if he's just going to be there to either take it, calm you, or comfort you in silence

That also includes the part where you become horny. Of course, he'll be gentler with you during this time of your pregnancy, but he can't help but include a few rough bucks of his hip when he's about to go off the edge.

Other times, just touching you can help ease that heightened libido

He'll immediately drive you to the hospital once your water breaks. He'll wait with you throughout labor, hoping his soft caresses are enough to make up for his lack of comforting words. At times, Star will come out to help him distract you from the contractions.

He'd pace around outside the delivery room, anxious with his mind already overthinking what bad could happen to you and the baby. It's a good thing Holly is there to help reassure her son that his wife and child would be okay.

When Jotaro finally gets to visit, his eyes land on the swaddled little one in her tiny crib stationed beside your bed. He beelines straight to it and pauses in complete awe at the tiny baby cooing before him.

You can't help but giggle as your husband's eyes start to water as he gingerly reaches down to pick up his newborn daughter. He's still in awe, completely fixated on baby Jolyne.

Then after he sits down on the chair by your bedside, he brings his index to touch her and his heart skips a beat when the baby grasps it with her whole hand.

And the waterworks are broken and he ends up leaning against your side while you nuzzle against him as he tries to regain composure from tearing up so much from seeing and feeling his bundle of joy.

Admittedly, Jotaro is scared about whether he'd do a good job being a father, but to both you and himself, he promises that he'll do his damn best.

So I've been thinking about this for almost a month now and I really wanted to share this thought with you because you mer au affected me but in a good way💖

It's just that... what if mer Jotaro and human reader eventually have little Jolyne and of course she's half human (or technically 3/4 human) and she has to be raised in land and Reader takes her to the ocean often so Jotaro and Jolyne get to see each other and and ufbskdgks just wholesome mer dad of a half human daughter 🛐 I only had these "mental pictures" or drabbles or whatever it is. (I apologize for my poor English)

I just love your writting uGH💖

It always surprises me when people think about me 👉👈 it makes my heart go boom boom

And your English is fine! But as for what you thought of!

I have other asks about dadtaro of half-mer Jolyne in which I’ll go into more depth with an actual drabble or short fic but for now:

I imagine that once you actually go as far as to have a child together, there is a plan on how to raise them. A plan in the form of; House at sea.

As I have stated before, Mer are incredibly social, and especially new parents would not DREAM to leave their kid out of their sight - unless they’re shitty parents; which there are still plenty of in Mer, but the Joestar pod is a pod of pretty exemplary Mer :3

But during the entire pregnancy process, Jotaro wants to be by your side, but he is also a creature of the sea. He can’t live in a pool or bathtub. Mer can survive fresh water for a while, but eventually they will need to go back to the ocean. And he doesn’t want to spend so much time being far away from you.

So, beach house.

But once Jolyne is born, man. Given my au is more rooted in reality, Jolyne won’t be magic. She can’t change from Mer to human and back.

She’ll have gills, scales running over her body, ear fins like her dad and an affinity to salt and raw fish like him too, but physically she looks pretty human - apart from the beautiful, nearly translucent fins that run along her arms and the spine/dip of her back.

Man can she swim though.

If you still work, then she’ll be out in the sea with her dad when you are. If you don’t because Jotaro supports you by treasure hunting, then you’re just a family.

But - now that I re-read your ask and realise what you actually asked (not whatever I just wrote XD) - if you are forced to raise Jolyne inland, you better drive her to the beach every single day.

Jotaro will always be waiting for the both of you, his instincts on fire for not having his mate or his daughter by his side, he’s unable to help it. If you’re but a minute late, he is worrying. If you get stuck in traffic while trying to go there, Jotaro will outright just drag his ass on land to find you.

But I will always be convinced that Jolyne is a daddy’s girl, so the moment you put her down on the beach and she sees Jotaro, she is running into his arms with the biggest smile.

You putting on scuba gear to swim and breathe under water with your little family tho? 👀

The both of them twirling around you or pulling you along, way more agile than you ever could be under the beautiful clear blue water. Just- HNNNN THAT PICTURE MAKES ME SO HAPPY

Since Okuyasu was in Captive Together imagine if he's in the mer pod too (which, with Jolyne, Giorno and Josuke gives poor Joot FOUR pups to handle). They first found him and his older brother Keicho tangled in a net but at this point Keicho is mortally wounded from a struggle with human poachers and just before he dies he entrusts Okuyasu to the pod. "Don't let anything...happen to my brother..."

NOOOO KEICHO, POOR OKUYASU BBY

He and his brother were in the pod to begin with (in CT too) but if Keicho dies like that and we’re talking about the Mer dadtaro specific au…

Jotaro now has four pups to handle cause Josuke and Okuyasu are joined at the hip and Okuyasu doesn’t want to be anywhere else and Josuke is already basically Jotaro’s own pup sooo… This fish-man… woof, he has his work cut out for him. He’s gonna get grey fast.

The Mer that people think is least likely to have pups is suddenly parading around with four of them. He is the pinnacle of ‘Tired Dad’ tm, but goddamn he cares for every single one of them.

And all four of them absolutely adore Jotaro. Every night the five of them are cuddled up together, Jotaro protectively around them while the pups are all together in a pile of scales and limbs. It is the most wholesome thing you have ever seen.

And one time, Jotaro got injured during a hunt. He accidentally found himself in a shark frenzy and while he was trying to fight them off, he got injured, his blood causing even more of a massacre and in the end he barely got home, bleeding out from a massive wound in his tail.

The pups were absolutely horrified. Cause… if their gigantic, super strong, awesome dad came home that injured? What was out there in the sea?

Right now, Jotaro was being treated by grandma Holly and the pups had been shooed out of the grotto for a bit. She needed some calm and quiet to do what she needed to do and Jotaro needed rest. So, on their own, swimming to their secret spot, the four of them got to speculating. Everything they came up with was scarier than the next and they were just riling each other up more and more, thinking of what monster sea creatures could be out there. Right up until one of the other pod members came up to them. Only, they first only saw their hand and more importantly - their claws, and in a panic they all yelled and cried as they zipped over to the safety and familiarity of dad.

No one could stop them as they zoomed past everyone into the grotto and dove into Jotaro, who was awoken from his deep sleep by having four pups absolutely slamming into his torso, immediately latched on.

He groaned in pain before looking down, seeing four sets of big, scared eyes looking up at him and he looked down, still a bit hazy from sleep.

“What’s wrong?”

He didn’t get any clear answer as it was just whimpers and hiccups, just the barest sound of ‘monster’ coming from Jolyne.

Sighing, Jotaro realised what this was about and rolled onto his back, his arms encasing the pups as he just lightly held them. Could no one in the pod explain to them what happened? Really? It had to be him? Good grief, he was not getting even a moments rest. “Calm down. It was just a shark.” He explained as he looked down and four heads lifted.

“Just a shark? Just a shark did this?” Giorno squeaked and Jotaro patted his head while he lightly shook his own.

“Well, a lot of sharks.” Upon the collective gasp, he immediately continued, “But they’re not gonna come here. They know this is pod territory.”

“But they hurt you?” Okuyasu anxiously said next and almost immediately, Josuke reached over and grabbed his friend’s hand, Jotaro trying to hold back a smile at the display while he rumbled.

“Because I was alone. So, don’t ever be alone, alright?”

Promises were made right then and there and, content, Jotaro rolled back onto his side, trying to urge the pups to go so he could sleep, but they instead all stayed in his arms, hugging each other while Jotaro held them.

Right when they needed the protection and feeling of safety that came from sleeping curled in a tail the most, he was unable to move the damn thing. So, Jotaro settled for holding them. Not his preferred way of sleeping or doing things in general, but for his pups, he would.

The next day, and all those that followed where Jotaro was bedridden, the four of them acted like his personal nurse. And though the older Mer acted like he was annoyed and didn’t need it, he cherished every second of their care.
