FNV: dumbass disordwrz

One for My Baby

Alternatively? Dinkey and Domesticated Dad

Anyways. This is my anniversary gift to my love!! Her oc Penny eventually marries the fnv companion Craig Boone and they have a widdle itty bitty baby!

Happy (late) anniversary baby 💖 I love you more than words could say!

And yes it's canon Boone would call his own baby "stupid" "dumbass" "idiot" as he is dumb and a coward and refuses to use cute pet names!

"WAAAAAA"

At around quarter to 5, Rosa would cry. Every single day.

Neither Penny nor Boone could really explain it. There wasn't any noise from the Brahmins at that time to wake her. She didn't have a clock or a time indicator near her. Penny's little talking bear didn't make any noise anymore, nor did Rosa's Dinkey Dinosaur. Faleena, their little irradiated bundle of joy cat didn't dare wake up the baby either. (Although when she climbed into the crib to cuddle, she did happen to brush Rosa's nose with her tail more than a few times)

Whatever the reason, if there was any reason, Rosa was screaming once again at 4:45

Boone was always first one up. Now that he didn't really do the sniping job, as a fellow named Ricky took it over for him, he had more time on his hands. But his sleep schedule was still messed up, as he found himself awake at ungodly hours. And he was just a very light sleeper.

Gently, he undid the covers from his body and pried his sleeping wife off of him. Penny was drooling into her pillow, snoring. Whining in her sleep like a puppy when she felt him pull away. Becoming hushed when Boone pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead gently.

Being a husband and a dad changed him for the better. Little signs of affection became so much easier now.

"WAAAAAAAAA!"

Boone groaned as he pulled away from Penny, throwing on a pair of ragged bighorn wool pajama pants. There wasn't time for him to make coffee, so he just shuffled over to the baby's room.

Rosa's room was a connected part of there's. It wasn't really a room, just a really big closet. But they put her pram there to protect her. Of danger set foot in the house she was safely hidden behind a sound absorbing closet door.

Boone was a tad bit overprotective. But you had to be, especially with legion always lurking.

"You can stop crying now."

Boone grumbled as he opened the door, squeezing into the room (as he was a tad bit too muscular and wide for the little doorway) and walking over.

Rosa was wriggling in her little worn down baby pram, bawling her eyes. Somehow she had managed to get her little baby mittens off and scratch at her delicate skin.

Which of course, was both annoying and made Boone's heart break.

"Dumbass." He mumbled quietly, but gently scooped up the baby girl into his arms. Letting her press herself into his bare chest. Carefully he fitted her gloves back on as she sniffled and cried, bouncing her gently in his arms.

2 months ago he wouldn't even touch the baby, out of fear of ruining her or having her hate him. Now he seemed to have this dad stuff down. Sorta.

"Stop- kicking- let me put the boots back on!" Boone strained as he tried to stop the little girl from squirming. Her feet were turning blue from the early morning cold, and she wasn't letting him put her little boot-socks back on.

"FFFAHHHGUHHH!!!! BLBABAA-"

She shrieked babbled noises, as if protesting.

Before calming down immediately when he kissed her cheek.

Boone was getting pretty good at this.

"Finally..." he groaned, taking the blanket from her pram and wrapping her in it. Her big brown eyes staring at him with such delight and curiosity now.

"Are you.... hungry?" He asked, and then felt stupid. What was he doing?? The baby couldn't just answer him, it couldn't even talk. SHE couldn't even talk.

It was still gonna take a while for him to not refer to his own daughter as "it".

Rosa just squirmed gently, sticking out her tongue and trying to lick his hand on her cheek.

"Mmm... you stopped crying. I guess... you just wanted attention?"

Of course. Once more. The stupid little baby did not RESPOND. Get it together, Craig.

Sighing, Boone gently cuddled the baby and poked her nose.

She smiled when he gently tickled her nose, wiggling around in her swaddle. Making gurgled giggles to show her approval.

Boone felt his heart expand and threaten to throw itself out of his chest.

"Alright, idiot." He murmured lovingly. "Let's go see your mom."

He turned with the baby in his arms, but stopped immediately when he became face to face with a messy blonde haired mama.

"You did it!" She whispered sleepily, wrapping her arms around his waist. Kissing at his chest and then kissing the baby's cheek. Blowing little raspberries on both.

Boone turned a shade of crimson. Both from the sheer love of his wife, and embarrassment at his job well done.

"Stupid. You're exhausted. Get back to bed." He whispers to her gently, kissing her forehead. Without warning, he scoops her up in one strong arm and holds the baby in the other. Carrying both his precious girls into the main bedroom, lovingly setting them down on the bed.

Penny attached the baby to her immediately. Letting Rosa slap at her face and giggle.

Boone slipped in next, wrapping his arms around both of them. Careful not to crush his baby and wife. (Because that would suck and he didn't feel like finding new ones >:•[ )

Almost immediately Rosa fell asleep in his arms.

Penny just laughed and kissed her cheek, then moving to kiss Boone's.

"Look at us, Craig." She giggled sleepily. "We're a family. We did it. YOU did it."

Boone just managed a teeny tiny smile, nodding to her bashfully.

"Penny, you act like you-"

But he stopped. She had conked out as soon as she had finished her sentence.

"Oh.... hmph. Stupid."

Craig gently kissed both his wife and his daughter's foreheads, before closing his eyes to try and sleep.

Protecting them even in their dreams.
