#coparenting leo and cass

[stickynotelovers-art]

@somerandomdudelmao inspired me with their Mandalorian Casey costume doodle but I thought it would be a funny co-parent costume with Leo as Mando and Cassandra as Cara Dune.

so if stephanie was 15 when she had her baby, and tim was 14, and then damian was 9 when tim was 17, and now damian's 14,

then that means that if steph had decided to keep her daughter, she'd be a mom to a third-grader rn

I am now imagining the next morning when Donnie and CJ have to tell everyone about the Vault (mainly cuz CJ insisted they know about Shelldon) and the truth of CJ's parentage comes out.

"Wait, Raoh is your dad!?" Leo asks, tk which CJ meekly nods and glances at thw younger verajon of his father,

"He dies when I was really young but he and Mom were coparenting together as long as they could..."

Instead of being upset or weirded out like he'd feared though, Leo immediately sagged in relief whil Raph perked up, ehe sparking in excitement.

"Oh, thank pizza supreme... with how you went on about my future self, I was worried I had somehow been your parent!! No offense, kid, but I am so not ready to have a kid!"

"I'm gonna be a parent??" Raph is practically vibrating with excitement as he looks CJ up and down, visibly holding himself back k from crushing the human into one of his infamous raph hugs.

Oh this is adorable! Raph being all excited for the possibility he might be a dad in the future. Pretty sure CJ would be like.

CJ: Maybe? That depends on if my mom ends up adopting me again. it's not the apocalypse this time so i'm not sure what will happen.

Raph*immediately on the phone with Casey SR*: Cass! If you ever find a child you have to let me adopt him with you! Our future kid depends on it!

Cass *on the phone*: I think you're missing a few steps there, Red.

Raph: You find a kid. You adopt a kid. I then also adopt the kid. We both get to be parents of an awesome, kickass kid. What steps am i missing?

thank you!

More out of context ITBOTB spoilers bc I am losing my mind over this

Leo: so, who's the father?

Cass, casually: You

Leo, choking on air: EXFUCKINGSCUSE ME???

Mikey: I thought you were gay

Leo: I AM

Cass: shut up, not like that. We're going to coparent and I've decided you're the dad

Leo: Do I get a say in this??

Cass: no

[toothlesshat]

Future Leo and CJ headcanons plz??

Ofc!!

Casey slept in Leo’s bed a lot even as a teenager. He never slept peacefully in the apocalypse, but the closest he ever got to it was when Leo was singing lullabies and rubbing his head.

Leo always felt like a failure in the future because of how things went down, but when he needs reassurance, he looks to Casey and remembers that no matter what, he’s raised a good kid.

Leo always treated Casey like his son, even before he was acknowledged as his dad, but Cassandra only asked him to coparent after one night when Casey asked her if Leo would let him call him dad.

“Mom?” “Yeah, kid?” “D’you think… Master Leonardo would let me call him dad?” “.. how about we ask him tomorrow?”

Leo cried the first time Casey said it

Also you know Cassandra asking him went like “Casey wants to know if you’ll be his father.” “… Cass you’re great but I don’t want to marry you-“ “YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT, VERMIN!!”

They may be in an apocalypse but dad jokes never stop, especially not for Leo! Casey hates them though

In the fixed timeline, Casey talks about his dad a lot, but never says that it’s Leo. They assume it’s just someone they never met, which makes sense they can’t know everything in the future! But everyone kind of sees the way he lingers around Leo, or looks at him sadly

The only people to figure it out are Splinter, Raph and Mikey. Splinter guesses it (call it intuition, he’d know his own grandkid), Mikey overhears him talking to himself one night, and Casey tells Raph outright. They agree not to tell Leo until he’s ready, but are secretly itching to know more about Leo as a father

When Casey finds out future Leo can come back as a spirit, he talks to him every night about his day. Leo doesn’t always show up, but he knows he’s watching him, and wants to tell him everything.

He also likes to tease him about what a little shit he was as a teenager.

For every birthday in the fixed timeline, Casey still gets his dad a gift, whether that be a cupcake or small trinket. It’s a nice tradition he doesn’t want to lose :)

It is very important to me that you know that April and Cass 100% have eyes for each other and are in the "everyone knows we're basically dating, we just haven't actually kissed yet" stage and she knows Full Well that April would coparent with her if she asked

She just sees the dad potential in Leo and is absolutely not going to let that go to waste
