(Dad)
((More pre divorce Eurodyne Family bc I’m free to write what I want))
Every since Ted was born, Kerry hadn’t known peace. But in the kid’s defense, when did he ever know peace? And don’t get him wrong, he loved his son more than anything. Ted had brought Kerry and Louise so much joy and laughter, for a moment everything seemed perfect.
“Dad?”
“Yeah, bug?”
“What is-“
But sometimes the poor kid asked more questions than Kerry had answers too. And don’t get him wrong, he thought Ted’s curiosity was great (right? Parents were supposed to think that right?)
Kerry knew he wasn’t doing this dad thing correctly. Ted’s cries sounded like nails on a chalkboard, his constant questioning became overwhelming fast, his bad nights made but a bad night for everyone… and yet Kerry loved him more than anything.
Ted was around six or so when Kerry and Louise’s relationship truly began to spiral. They tried their best to hide it from their boy, most of their arguments happening after Ted was asleep. They knew their curious boy would have questions they struggled to answer like that.
But when Ted was seven, Louise got pregnant again. And Ted just had to ask that one really awkward question.
“Dad?”
“Yeah, bug?”
“How did mommy get the baby in her belly?”
Louise hid her laugh behind her laptop, Ted looking up at him with those big innocent brown eyes while Kerry fought the mental battle.
“Why don’t you ask mommy that question, babes?”
“Nononono, daddy is the expert on this sweetheart!” Louise urged, laughing behind her hand.
“Thanks hon.” Kerry grit out, pulling Ted into his lap. Time to change the subject. “Are you excited for the new baby?”
“Yeah! I wanna play with her and show her all my cool toys! Do you think she’s gonna like transformers?”
“Maybe. You keep saying she, you want a baby sister?”
“Yeah! She’s gonna be super cool, like you and mom!”
Ted rested his head on Kerry’s shoulder, his legs over one side of Kerry’s lap. The mood seemed to switch to a somber tone, Kerry looking over at his wife.
They had to make this work, for Ted and the new baby’s sake. Kerry never expected himself to be such a family man, but he couldn’t leave them behind…

Hey! 25. What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story?
Weird Questions for Writers
Honestly I don’t know if it’ll even make it into the story at all (if it does, it won’t be the first trilogy, but the second) but:
Context: Avicia is Marius’s first wife, Calveria is the second wife. They raised their sons together! And there is TENSION between them they do a very very good job of hiding. HOWEVER, there’s one teeny tiny detail I stuck in their (currently unpublished) character bios.
This one’s Avicia’s.
And this is Calveria’s.
[Nuke’s Top 5 Voice] Did you see it? :)
