#Baker Biker 🪨

[lifewiththelulus]

This is Dwayne, he used to be a biker gang leader, till he fell in love with a lovely fire woman and had a daughter. Now he works at Baked woods and sometimes brings Maggie to play with Sprout. He still wears a serious stone face but really is like any goofy dad who adores his wife, child and job.

Kindlin is a little nervous around him at first But once she realizes he's a good guy she feels comfortable around him and loves playing with Maggie if things are slow

Birch is always slipping a few treats to Maggie when she can lol

Omg yass her and sprout being friends would be adorable!

Maggie is actually autistic, she doesn’t talk a lot and when she does it’s usually off handed comments about stuff she’s into but has nothing to do with the conversation. I like the idea of Maggie just walking am up to people just to tell short random stories to them and leave. XD kinda like that little boy in animaniacs

Sprout would be so intrigued the first time she does it to her and is like "this smells like a friendship"

[lifewiththelulus]

Birch doesn't like to cuss so this is her alternative

Once she got upset and straight up went "WHAT THE FUCK" Kindlin and Sequoia were both stunned and honestly scared of what could make her use a real cuss word XD

Dwayne: Watch your fucking language Birch, your kid is still in the room. 😏

[lifewiththelulus]

When she can finally take Kindlin home she absolutely has a hard time getting Kindlin to just sit in one place and relax She keeps catching her trying to help in the bakery and has to put Dwayne on notice that Kindlin isn't allowed anywhere near the kitchen XD

Birch: "ahem"

Kindlin: organizing a shelf of bread "Oh! I was just uhhhh looking for something to eat!"

Birch: "I'll bring you something. Now back to bed, march!"

Kindlin: "ughgghg but I'm sooo bored!"

I can also see Sprout and Maggie trying to keep her in her room by playing video games with her, but she just keeps getting more frustrated because the little girls keep beating her.

She's like "imma go to the bathroom" Just to go downstairs and get caught by Birch at the bottom of the steps. She just has her arms folded and taps her foot.

Kindlin: "I know I know, I'm going" Immediately goes back up. Sequoia hears about what happened and brings her some books to read. She finally starts to get some rest after she gets really into a book about cats lol

Kinblin trying to sneak outside but got caught by Birch: You can't keep me here!

Birch: Maybe not me, but he can.

Dwayne: Picks up Kin and drags her to her room without breaking a sweat.

Kindlin just pouts because she literally can't do anything to stop him XD Oof the only time they can get her to stay in one place is when Cirrus comes to visit XD

Cirrus let's her know that she's holding off all club activities until she's back.

Normally something like that would make kin feel guilty for holding everyone else up, but in this case it.. it just made her feel special. Like she was important to someone for whatever reason She definitely also enjoys the fact she gets Cirrus all to herself when she comes to visit She's gonna let herself be selfish this once lol

Kin and Cirrus hanging out in her room when Birch brings them some snacks and checks on Kindlin's stitches After she leaves Kindlin gets a little quiet before she hides her face so Cirrus doesn't see her crying quietly

She's overwhelmed with emotions knowing how many people in her life care about her now The fox, the books, the food, the games, getting to just recover, Cirrus being there. She's finally come to terms with the fact she's found her real home

[lifewiththelulus]

Oh so Birch most definitely asks Kindlin to be her maid of honor And she also asks Kindlin to help her make the wedding cakes lol They make a small one for them to slice together, then the have cupcakes for everyone else since everyone can't eat the same things

Sprout and Maggie as little flower girls!

YES

Who do you think would be the ringbearer?

Oh!! Good question - I didn't think of that XD

Bonsai?!

Aww!!!!

Him taking 7 min to walk over to the couple XD

He has to start walking when the wedding starts to get there in time for the ceremony XD

XD

Omg I was gonna say maybe topaz XD

He could be the best man

Yes!!

Hazel would love being a flower girl. Plume too lol

They definitely get all their flower arrangements done by them They'll let anyone who wants to be a flower girl do so XD

Who says the wedding should only have two flower girls

They're really laid back when it comes to the wedding They just want it to be a happy day. Kindlin stepped up to plan things so Birch and Sequoia can enjoy themselves. She's very on top of things and pushes it to be perfect for them lol She makes a whole game plan book and everything. Honestly probably the thing that made Birch 100% confident Kindlin would be ok running the business when she's no longer able to

Imagine cirrus running things backstage That's Kindlin but with this wedding XD

When Cirrus sees her running things so smoothly and efficiently she can’t help but swoon a bit.

Kindlin: Get that table on the other side- no that side! Where's my extra chairs?? I shouldn't have to ask twice! On the phone You said that the food would be here before noon you have 10 minutes!!

Cirrus: 😳

Sorry not sorry but… when bae takes charge. XD

After the wedding is done and they all go home I think Kindlin would go stay with Cirrus so they had the house to themselves for a while Kindlin falls asleep as soon as they sit down lmaoo Sleep usually becomes her last priority when she's focused on something like that lol Ohh I need to draw Sequoia in his tux

Cirrus takes out a spare blanket, tucks her in and lets her sleep for two days straight. Dwayne isn't super religious but do you think he could be the marriage officiant?

Omg yes!! I don't see Birch or sequoia being religious either lol They just want the wedding because it's a social norm and a good way to celebrate. They're thrilled to find out someone they're friends with could officiate it!!

[lifewiththelulus]

I just wanted to draw Kindlin going purple lol

Since Dwayne doesn’t have any foliage (aside from his moss tattoos) he’d be the one to put out any stray flames.

Kindlin feels so bad right after she runs outside to get some air Birch is used to having a few leaves burnt every now and again so helps put out the fire Then asks Dwayne if he knows what's wrong with her because she never gets frustrated like that, she's always up to try again if she doesn't get it the first time

Dwayne: It isn't always the case, but whenever Maggie gets upset it's best to stay calm and talk things through, and if they don't want to talk, offer to do something with them, something they like to do. And if they just want to be left alone, best to just give them their space and let them sort out their feelings.

Birch definitely let's her have a few minutes before she follows She depends on Dwayne for advice at times, not really having been around a lot of fire people, it was a learning experience for her at times. She didn't even know fire people could explode like that, or that they turned purple.

Kindlin: I didn't scare you did I? I don't like going purple like that.

Birch: hugs No, just surprised. And purple is my favorite color actually! Everyone has their moments, dear

[lifewiththelulus]

I got a cute idea

Birch waking Kindlin up and Cirrus and Hazel are there with her and she's like "We're closed today, get dressed we're going somewhere fun!"

Kindlin is confused as hell until they get to the zoo. She thinks maybe they're meeting with sprout and Uncle Oakley or something, that is until she sees the banner. The element city zoo was gifted a blue fire fox. Kindlin quite literally squeals and jumps up and down, pointing at the sign and can barely get the words out to explain herself before she starts running to the exhibit like a little kid might do

Since I have birthdays on the mind X3 This could be something they all plan for her b-day.

What if while they're there at the zoo Dwayne and Oakley and the others are at the bakery decorating for a surprise party?? She might actually start ugly crying when she sees they all remembered

Kindlin is always baking stuff for Cirrus, so she’s wants to repay her by making her the birthday cake. But Dwayne would tell her he should take care of it, since he figured Kindlin would want her with her the whole day

Quick sketches of Maggie’s mom and Cirrus parents

Maggie and Cirrus moms are pretty 😍 Omg her dad is so tiny and cute 😭

Lol I wanted her to have the same body as her mother and the puffiness of her father

[lifewiththelulus]

Is Maggie's mom still around?

Yep, she’s usually looks after Maggie, but when she has to go to work at the factory, Dwayne takes over and brings her to the bakery to play with sprout.

[lifewiththelulus]

All her friend throw there wallets at him and run XD

Lily: It was a total accident! But whatever. Put it on Daddy's card.

Dwayne: Does your father know you've been using his money for this kind of stuff, I don't think he would appreciate it. Make sure nothing like this happens again and we won't have any problems.

Maggie from behind her dads leg: >:P

Lily is definitely the type to give anyone that isn't her father an attitude lol

She's all sunshine and rainbows until her parents leave the room So her Dad would definitely be like "she would never! Lily is a pure angel."

Yes… but would baked woods have security camera footage they could bribe her with?

Unfortunately Birch is not a tech person XD She never had one installed But it's possible someone sitting in and eating might have gotten in on their phone in the background of their own video👀

"I saw you! You pushed it! Look I even got it on my phone!" Clearly shows Lily wait for Kindlin to turn around then pushing the display over

Lily crying: "oh my God why is everyone ATTACKING meee!?"

I know it probably wasn't her, but imagining Sprot videoing her just seems funny to me. XD

Sprout: "I got you in 4k on my DS!" She was probably recording a little kid video and pointed it to say something about her aunt kindlin when she caught lily

and obviously, Dwayne, Sprot, and Maggie all help Kindlin clean up. When Kindlin tries to tell everyone she's fine, Maggie gives her arm a hug and nuzzles her. (Her nuzzling is her way of saying she loves you)

Kindlin feels so guilty about bringing the drama in there, but feels a lot better after they help her

Kindlin has a real soft spot for kids, and Maggie absolutely melts her heart when she does that 😭

Maggie doesn't like to touch people outside her mom and dad, so her doing so is a big sign of trust.

The family Kindlin needs/deserves. What if Kindlin walks into the bakery all disheveled and bruised And when they obviously ask her what happened she's like "Oh I'm great actually, you should see how Lily looks."

Dwayne grabs her shoulders looks her straight in the eyes and asks: "Did you at least use a good one-liner?"Dwayne grabs her shoulders looks her straight in the eyes and asks: "Did you at least use a good one-liner?"

"Of course! I told them to call an ambulance. But not for me >:3"

Dwayne: sheds a tear of pride

Birch walks into the bakery and nearly fainted at the sight of kindlin XD

Grabs pan "What happened!? Are you ok? Who needs to perish!?"

Dwayne: Deep chuckles Apparently you should see the other girl.

Birch just bandages her up and lightly scolds her about words not fists lol

Ohhhhh man Lily's Dad coming in for a snack and he LOVES the salt water taffy pops So he asks them to cater an event Meaning Lily is forced to be nice and on her best behavior

She probably pissed herself when she realized her Dad went to the bakery and that he spoke with Dwayne in person XD

Dwayne and Lily's dad becoming friends XD

Just the thing she needs to back off of kindlin XD

"Lily! Come meet Dwayne, he's helping with the event today."

Sweating bullets "N-nice to meet you 0-0" 'Im screwed'

[lifewiththelulus]

Him seeing her having trouble with something his small daughter has trouble with and being like "I got this"

Lol When Lily comes by, he channels his old biker gang leader energy to scare her off.

Lily: You can't defeat me!

Birch: No, but he can

Plume can be the Chihuahua screaming and trying to bite her ankles

I've been playing with the idea that Lily comes in with her buddies for a treat and realizes Kindlin is behind the counter They immediately start being shitty and giving her a hard time. Kindlin just smiles through it and hopes she leaves until Lily goes too far and tips over a tower of cakes knowing Kindlin will probably be cleaning it.

Just tips it and goes "oops! Sorryyyyyy >:3"

That's when Dwayne goes into terminator mode

Lily's lil group laughing as Kindlin starts to clean up

Suddenly Dwayne 's standing behind them arms folded

Lily: …Why do I hear boss music?
