Solo triplets as dads! 😻
Ben
- When you first told Ben you were pregnant he was insanely excited. He was calling his brothers and his parents within five minutes and pretty much everyone else in his contacts got a text in all caps telling them that he was having a baby
- As your tummy began to get bigger the reality started to kick in and Ben started stressing out. His biggest concern was that he wouldn’t be able to take care of a baby because he’s never even had the responsibility of a pet (excluding Chewie the family dog, but Matt was pretty much the only one of the boys to remember to feed him)
- Wanting to be prepared, Ben started doing a lot of research and reading up on parenting.
- You found out you were having a boy and Ben was immediately suggesting names
- When it got even closer to your due date, Ben was eager to get the baby’s room set up. He got to work emptying the study and painting the walls a pale blue colour. He tried to paint a ladybug near the light switch but it didn’t really turn out right…
- With Ben’s hard work (and a little bit of help from Matt and Kylo) the room turned out great
- Eventually when the time came for you to have the baby it was when you were just getting ready for bed. There was no time to get dressed so you were out the door and into the car in nothing but your pyjamas.
- Ben was more nervous than you were on the drive to the hospital. You had to tell HIM to breathe.
- Once the baby was born you and Ben agreed on the name S/N.
- Ben was always happy to get out of bed whenever the baby cried at night and he was always happy to feed and burp the baby, but he’s still working up to the diapers
- Ben often refers to S/N as “little man” or “buddy”
- Any time Ben is giving S/N a bath he just has to give him a bubble beard
- He went clothes shopping for the baby alone once and came back with these; https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51KEGZ-7A8L._UX466_.jpg https://www.babble.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BILF-624x622.png
Matt
- When you told Matt you were pregnant he was nervous of course but happy more than anything. It was something you’d talked about before and while you weren’t exactly trying for a baby it seemed like perfect timing.
- Matt looked to his mum for advice on parenting and she was happy to give both you and Matt some guidance. He asked his dad too - Han’s advice was “if it cries, put a bit of whiskey on its pacifier” so you just decided to take note of Leia’s wise words instead
- Even before you were pregnant Matt was always spoiling you but since you found out you were having a baby Matt’s been pampering you like hell
- He’s always carrying your bag, opening doors, rubbing your feet, making dinner, running you baths, and so forth
- You tell him all the time that he doesn’t have to go out of his way so much but he always responds by telling you that he knows but he wants to
- You suggested that you take a picture of your belly each month to record the growth of your child. Matt loved the idea and took the pictures on his camera
- Matt is always at your appointments. Even when he has work, he arranges for him to have time off so he can come with you because he hates the thought of you going alone and he wants to be there whenever you get news about the baby
- You asked Matt if he wanted a boy or a girl and he said he really didn’t care - he’d love either
- Turns out you were having a little girl
- Matt loved the idea of having a daughter and grew more and more excited as each day passed
- Matt set up the nursery which had everything the baby would need + a ridiculously large teddy bear that was sat in the corner of the room
- Three days after your due date you still hadn’t had the baby. Both you and Leia reassured Matt that it was normal to have the baby shortly before or after your due date but that didn’t stop him from worrying
- Matt tried to stay alert as much as possible. He didn’t know when or where you could go into labour so he was always prepared.
- When you did go into labour you and Matt were out at the grocery store. Luckily the store wasn’t too far from the hospital so you ditched the shopping trolley and drove to the hospital
- The birth was relatively easy as there were no problems but it was exhausting and painful on your part but Matt was there to distract you and get you through it
- You and Matt decided to call her D/N
- Matt is always patient and gentle with the baby and carries her around in a buckle carrier
- He likes to read to her when he’s putting her to sleep. Even though she’s only a newborn and can’t understand anything he’s saying, you can tell that his voice soothes her. Heck, sometimes you fall asleep as well.
- Even when he’s exhausted Matt is still more than willing to get up at night when she cries. You tend to take turns but he never complains when it’s his turn.
- His phone is connected to her baby monitor so when he’s at work he can check on her during the day when she’s napping. He knows that you’ve got everything under control but watching D/N sleep makes him smile
- Matt refers to you and D/N as “my girls”
Kylo
- You’d had a conversation with Kylo once before a long time ago about children but he quickly dismissed the topic and said it was something he didn’t think he’d want let alone be good at
- That conversation weighed heavily on you when you found out you were pregnant so you were anxious to tell him
- Understandably he wasn’t really sure how to handle it at first. You guys were always careful but he knew that protection doesn’t work 100% of the time
- Since you two had been together for a while he was more open to the idea of having a kid with you. When you’d had that first conversation you’d only been dating for a little while
- Kylo didn’t say much when you told him so you just worried more because you couldn’t tell what he was feeling
- When Kylo had really let it sink in he felt like a bit of a dick for not saying anything to you at first so he made up for it by telling you that he was happy to have a kid
- Kylo spent a lot of time trying to get a feel for parenting but he knew that the real thing would be harder
- After visiting numerous websites and online forums about parenting he felt a little more informed but all he could do at the moment was hope that the baby was healthy and that you were holding up okay
- As the baby grew Kylo found himself getting more and more attached. He started thinking a lot more about the future and what it would be like with this new baby
- When he thinks you’re asleep sometimes he talks to the baby. Sometimes you really are asleep but sometimes you’re awake and you think it’s the sweetest thing ever
- Once Kylo had his hand on your belly and he felt a kick. He looked absolutely gobsmacked and it was the weirdest, coolest and happiest thing for him experiencing it
- Kylo was already a pretty protective boyfriend but now that you were carrying his child he was even more so. He didn’t like you going anywhere alone further into the pregnancy and was always walking in front of you in crowded places so nobody bumped into you or your belly
- When you went into labour Kylo was at work
- You were having lunch with Rey so she called him on the way to the hospital
- Kylo left as soon as he could and when he got to the hospital you were just getting ready to give birth. Kylo was relieved that he got there just in time.
- Rey waited outside and took the time to let both your families know
- After you gave birth you were so tired that you fell asleep shortly after
- Once the baby was cleaned up and wrapped in a blanket the doctor told Kylo it was a boy and passed the baby to him.
- When you woke up Kylo was sitting in the chair next to the hospital bed holding the baby.
- You and Kylo both agreed on the name S/N
- Kylo is good with most things regarding the baby but he prefers when you change S/N’s clothes. He worries that he’s too rough when pulling the baby’s arms through the armholes of clothes.
- Kylo doesn’t really trust anyone else with S/N other than you and himself. If someone is babysitting it has to be his mum and even then he’s constantly calling and texting to check that everything’s going okay. Leia finds it amusing but has to remind Kylo that she did raise him and his brothers so she knows what she’s doing.
- Kylo completely melts and even sheds a tear when S/N’s first word was dad
