#where does auntie Kali fit in this AU? who knows

[the-whispers-of-death]

dad Stone and dilf!reader? what do you think? them meeting when Stones daughter is younger (reader is offering babysitting services to his neighbours with kids and since everyone knows him and know he has experience raising children since his are grown people trust him so that could be their meeting point or smth)

Girl dad!Stone being enamored with DILF!Reader is something that should definitely be a thing! But RIP to you though, since Stone is super paranoid when it comes to people around Saira so it would take a while for the man to really like you. (Oh my God, Stone would be 29 in this AU.)

Stone was called to a nearby Marine base to help in the base hospital despite him not being on deployment, so he had to quickly find someone to babysit Saira who was just starting middle school. He learned about you through a Marine he served with who also lived in the neighborhood, how you're wonderful with kids and have experience due to having your own kids.

He was really reluctant despite your glowing recommendations, but he didn't have time to find someone else, so he hired you. Your first meeting was rushed, him needing to get to the base hospital, but he stayed long enough to give you a beeper and tell you how to reach him via his beeper.

Despite his rough exterior, you could tell he loved Saira very much, evident in the way he took the time to kiss her forehead and tell her he loved her (albeit his voice was cold since you were there). He left you two alone there, pointing to the list of everything you needed to know.

The list was all of Saira's allergies (she was allergic to nuts and shellfish) and her schedule, which was just her needing to do her homework before her bedtime.

She was super polite, a happy kid despite her father being cold and stoic. She didn't complain about doing her homework, so when she finished, you let her play. She was quite at ease with you and you found out that she had an interest in cooking, with the way she watched you make her lunch and dinner with intense eyes.

Overall, she was definitely one of the best kids you had ever babysat for.

By the time Stone comes home at night, Saira's already in bed and fast asleep while you were lounging on the couch. He apologized gruffly for coming home so late, saying the base hospital had been so busy. You understood, you had a feeling he tried his best not to stay away from Saira too long.

He paid you and sent you on your merry way, but you were hoping he'd require you to babysit Saira again. Purely because Saira was a good kid, definitely not also because Stone looked so tired and in desperate need of someone to lend him a hand.
