Hamilton Imagines

I Promise: Mom reader x Baby Hamilton and Baby Burr

Hamilton

I sigh tiredly as I rub the exhaustion out of my eye, the movement and small whimpers coming from my now occupied bed have me looking at the tiny infant I birthed not so long ago.

'What am I going to do?' I think silently as I place my index finger in his open palm, he quickly encloses it as he looks at me with a quick smile. My heart leaps at the small action and tears begin to fill my eyes. I've never really been one to call myself a Christian but in this moment.. With this small, defenceless human being clutching unto my finger, I close my eyes and look towards the ceiling.

"If there really is a God up there.. Please help me.. What should I do with this child? Sh-should I give him up?" I whisper softly into the air. Everything is quiet for about three solid minutes and I start to question if this was a good idea when a shrill cry breaks through the still atmosphere, I stand quickly on my feet and clutch the small being in my arms rocking him while walking around my small apartment.

"Please, please keep quiet Alex-" I'm cut off my workmate and roommate, Katherine, as she yells at me for not getting rid of my son and now causing air pollution with him, I yell a quick apology back to her as I rock and coo Alexander back to sleep but it seems that all the recent shouting only encouraged him to cry louder.

I sigh sadly as I hold him close to my chest with tears filling up my eyes.

'Maybe I should give him up?' The heart wrenching thought passes by and has me breathing in shakily .. I begin to hum silently as I walk around my room with Alexander still on my chest wailing.

"Dear Alexander what to say to you" I sing softly as the melody begins to fill me. Its either I'm going deaf or Alex actually toned down a bit.

"You have my eyes, got your father's last name and when you came into the world  you cried and it broke my heart" I sway slowly as Alex begins to calm down even more.. His tears, those sounds of sadness.. They really hurt me seeing them come from him and not being able to do anything and when he was born .. That cry he made as he breathed in his first gulps of air had me in tears also and when he was placed in my arms.. I never wanted to see him cry ever again.

"So I'm dedicating everyday to you" I sing firmly as I finally knew what I wanted.. And it was him. "Domestic life quiet wasn't my style, but when you smile" I gaze lovingly at my silent son who gazed up at me with his beautiful eyes filled with curiosity and a pout on his lips as I took a dramatic pause to look at him, I boop his nose and grin as a small whimper escapes his lips. "You knock me out I fall apart and I thought I was so smart" I shake my head as I cradle him enough to place my finger back in his palm

"One day you'll come of age in this messed up nation" I frown at my own words and look worriedly at my baby he looks unfazed as he plays with my finger.. Sticking it into his mouth. I'm instantly calm and smiling at that small act of innocence.

"But I'll bleed and fight for you, I'll give my life for you.. If I lay a strong enough foundation I'll pass it on to you I'll show the world to you so you can blow us all away.. Someday someday you can blow us all away some day someday". I hum slowly as my little Alexander, still gripping my finger, smiles up at me.

The Burr household

" Oh Aaron when you smile I am undone my son" I sing softly as I pick up my now awake son as he giggles at seeing me, he gives a big smile once he's fully in my arms.. Wait a second. I pull Aaron close to my face and get a big whiff of what his joy really is, instantly I'm holding him at arms length while he and his annoying father laugh at me. I stick my tongue playfully at Aaron senior and take Aaron Jr to the other room to change him. Once I'd gotten my happy baby clean again, I couldn't help but laugh as he showed me a gigantic smile.

"Look at my son!" I exclaim to no one in particular as I raised him to the air before holding him close to my chest. "Pride is not the word I'm looking for, there is so much more inside me now." I sigh in content as I move back to my shared room with my husband and son only to meet said husband rushing off to work, he kissed mine and Aaron's cheek before running towards the door. I laughed when he almost falls upon reaching the door he just grins back before opening and slamming the door behind him. I looked at Aaron as he smils back at me.

"Oh Aaron you outshine the morning sun,my son when you smile" I kiss his cheek fondly. "I fall apart and I thought I was so smart"

Hamilton

"My parents weren't around" I sigh as I tell my innocent child about my lack of parental guidance.. I guess you could say that's what caused me to be like this.

Burr

"My parents were always around" I sing to Aaron as he sits on top of me as I lay on my bed.. My parents made it a point to be in mine and my other 10 siblings life and that's the kind of life I want Aaron to have.

Both

"But/And I swear that I'll be around for you"

Hamilton

"I'll do whatever it takes." My life might be disgusting to others but that's how I can keep myself and it'll also be the same way I'll keep Alexander and make sure he has everything he'll need for life.

Burr

"I'll make a million mistakes." We all learn and I'm sure mistakes will always come.. But I will overcome them

Both

"I'll make the world safe and sound for you, One day you'll come of age in this messed up nation."

Hamilton

"But I'll bleed and fight for you"

Burr

"I'll do whatever I can do"

Both
"So if I lay a strong enough foundation, pass it on to you, I give the world.. So you can blow us all away."

Hamilton

"Someday." I end softly as Alexander's eyes close shut, with him still gripping on to my finger I make a promise to myself and Alexander he'll have what he needs .. I'll make sure of it.

Burr

"Someday." I end as my eyes begin to drop with that of Aaron's. My promise to him is set and I'll make sure of it. These final thoughts cross my mind as I finally fall into a nap with Aaron.. Life can start in a few minutes right?

Hey guys!

It's me again with a new story but this one is on Hamilton! I've been addicted to it for some months now and after many weeks of dazzling my family and friends in the songs and tiny History I learnt, I finally decided to make this into a small book.

This is actually based off the song 'Dear Theodosia' sang by Odom Jr as Aaron Burr and Lin-Manuel as Alexander Hamilton to their children. I was actually singing this one day when I accidentally said Alexander instead of Theodosia and then I started thinking of how their mothers might have felt about them like how the feel for their children and that's when the song flowed into a completely different path in a mothers point of view.

We see two different women from different backgrounds trying and finding ways to love and support their children in their own ways and hoping that it's a good way and that they won't screw up their children. This is Actually one of my favourite songs in the musical and I'm probably gonna be making more song prompt kinda stories so please enjoy and give me feed backs.

I don't know how updates will be like so yeah expect some random updates now and again.. Can't promise though but enjoy it and hopefully when more people start to follow up on the story I'll do same.
