She Who Brings Happiness (Rafe Cameron x reader)
Rafe Cameron x reader
Frat baby goes to her first family Christmas and Rafe's on edge...
"It's okay." You murmured to Rafe, rubbing his back in soothing circles.
He barely heard your words of comfort as his eyes were focused elsewhere.
A few feet away, Ward paraded your baby around the room, showing her off to the family members.
"She's being held hostage." He scowled, taking a sip of whiskey.
The moment you'd entered the Cameron estate, she'd been plucked out of your arms and passed around the family like a box of chocolates. However, you handled her absence a lot better than Rafe did since you were used to your friends always wanting to hold her.
When Rafe and his boys took her to golf days or the bar, she was usually in the stroller or her father's arms. He didn't trust his friends to hold her right.
You rolled your eyes at the thought. Rafe was definitely a helicopter parent, always hovering over her.
"She's fine. She likes the attention." You snorted at the sight of your happy baby. She was currently flapping her arms for Rose.
It was Rafe's turn to roll his eyes. "That's the Sarah Cameron in her." He mumbled lightly.
You noticed him fall into a painful silence and take another swig of alcohol. Although he'd never say it, you knew he was disappointed Sarah wasn't here.
Apparently, she was with her boyfriend, which Ward and Rose only accepted since he was orphaned. But when she'd heard Rafe would be here this year, she had apperently refused to come.
But it was Bea's first Christmas, and family meant a lot to Rafe.
"I think you're right. It looks like she's getting a little fussy. Maybe you should go over?" You suggested, despite the fact the little girl seemed content.
He finished his drink and set it down on the side.
"Or we can go together?" You prompted at his hesitance and he nodded, following your lead towards his parents.
You didn't take Bea from Wheezie's awkward hold, but the baby noticeably brightened up at the sight of her parents.
"I'm not good with babies." Wheezie said with a grimace, trying to bounce Bea as she babbled, reaching a chubby hand out for Rafe. "She doesn't like me."
"She does. She just likes me the most." He told his sister with a smile. "First one in the family to."
Wheezie looked down at his words, but he barely noticed as he watched Bea stare at him with owlish eyes.
"If she didn't like you, she'd spit up on you. Or pull your hair." You smiled at the thought. She'd yanked Topper's blonde hair when she first met him.
Rafe smiled too, looking to you as you shared the memory fondly.
As the evening settled, Rose announced dinner was ready and the family shifted into the dining room. Ward had forgotten that he'd thrown out Wheezie's old high chair after a leak in the basement, so Bea was plonked on a pillow on Rafe's lap because she had whined when she couldn't see over the table.
"This is so lovely, thank you Rose." You said with a smile and she returned it.
"I love cooking for the family."
All tension from six months ago had been let go when they saw the Bea. They had wanted to come to the hospital but Rafe didn't want them there, and so he didn't tell them you'd had the baby.
Since she was born quite early, it was easy to hide. And so you'd had two months of blissful silence before they began badgering about visiting, and with the winter break approaching you'd had no excuse of work or school.
You had let things go as well since you saw how eager Rafe was to be back home. He missed the Outer Banks and you didn't blame him. It was beautiful here.
He also missed his family, as much as he claimed he was hated by them. He cared for his sisters, and he sought the approval of his parents, even now; one year away from completing his business and law degree and a father at 22.
"Was that the door?" Ward asked with a frown at the sound of a lock clicking.
Rafe's head raised and he clutched Bea a little tighter as the family stared at the doorway just as a figure appeared.
"Hey..." Sarah smiled with a wave. "Sorry I'm late."
"You came." Ward said with a pleasant smile. "We'll make some room."
"Well actually...I'm not alone." She said, and looked to Rafe. "I heard from Wheezie we had a couple extra guests this year, and so I hope it's alright with everyone that I brought my own."
Her boyfriend then hesitantly appeared by her side, taking her hand in his own.
"Hi." He looked around the family dining table and then looked at Bea with a smile. "Cute baby."
"Thanks." Rafe accepted with a sharp nod, his jaw tight. You placed a hand on his knee and he sighed, looking down at the wispy hairs on the baby's head. "Do you, er, wanna hold her?"
Sarah raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Of course I do!"
You smiled fondly knowing that this was a big deal for him as he stood up to pass the baby to his sister.
"You've washed your hands, right?" He asked, snatching Bea back before Sarah could take her.
The blonde rolled her eyes and nodded, making grabbing hands for the baby. "I'm not dirty, Rafe."
He shifted distrustful eyes towards John B but handed the baby to her nonetheless. Sarah shifted the little girl to hold her face-to-face and gasped.
"She's so tiny!" She cooed, bouncing the baby in her arms. "Ouch!"' Sarah gasped as the baby yanked on her long blonde hair. She went to do it again but Rafe stopped her.
You hid a laugh behind your hand as Wheezie cheered.
"Yay! Sarah's finally not the favourite."
"Shut up." Sarah grumbled to her younger sister, allowing Rafe to take the baby back as she started to whine and wriggle in her aunts arms.
"You're welcome to sit here." Rose said to John B, placing down a plate for him beside where Rafe was sitting.
The men stared at each other for a moment, John B hesitating to make a move for the space before Rafe nodded in approval. "You're better off next to me than Wheezie. She stinks after a few sprouts."
"Hey!"
You smiled as your baby and Rafe returned to your side and you fed Bea some mashed potato. Your eyes drifted to Rafe's face as he neglected his food, instead he was quietly watching the interaction between mother and baby before he caught your gaze.
"Don't give me that smile. I see it enough everyday." He joked in reference to your smiley baby on his lap.
"You love it." You teased and he didn't deny your words. "I'm just happy you're happy."
"I'm always happy when I have my girls." He said, leaning forward to kiss you and you met him in the middle, breaking apart at the whine that came from between you two.
"Sorry." You apologised to your baby who'd been squished in the middle.
As soft and tiny as she was, your baby managed to bring together a broken family, and build the bridge they'd take to healing its fractures.

My brain is very tired and when I read your tags on the post Astarions personal quest art you reblogged it combined "fanart" and "baby" to fucking "fartbaby" and I was just staring at it like
"Well that's not very nice."
Man.
Anon, my brain is also very tired and it took me a couple of tries to not read "fartbaby" as "fratbaby" and I was very confused because a) when did I write that? and b) I'm not wrong??? Long story short, maybe we both need some rest 😂
(PS: I would never say anything mean about Astarion but your brain is right—sometimes he does, in fact, act like a fartbaby.)
Love you.

Roots Before Branches (Rafe Cameron x reader)
Rafe Cameron x reader
Family day at the beach and Rafe is stressssssed-
***not based on the song
You enjoyed the gentle sea breeze as it gave you a break from the sweltering heat of the Outer Banks sun.
Rafe on the other hand found it inciting.
"It's blowing sand into her eyes!" He complained with a sharp glare towards the sea.
He was in a bad mood since Sarah had shown up to the beach with her friends to show them her baby niece. It wasn't a coincidence his heated glare was pointed in the direction the Pogues had taken up surfing.
"She's okay." You said, pointing to her little sunglasses. She also had on a bucket hat for good measure. "Did you want to swap seats?"
Whilst you lounged in the sun on a towel, Rafe sat under the umbrella in a beach chair beside you. Bea sat on his lap holding a red plastic spade. You wondered when he'd set her down so she can actually play with it...
He shook his head and kept his gaze on the sea.
"How about we build some sand castles?"
"The sand's too hot for her." Rafe shook his head again, taking a sip of his beer with a sigh.
You didn't grow up with a beach and wanted your daughter to enjoy every minute of the seaside whilst you were here for the summer.
"So we'll play by the shore." You said, standing up and brushing off the sand from your hands. "I could do with cooling down."
"But the water-"
"Is fine Rafe." You cut off before he could find another problem. You placed a quick kiss on his cheek. You loved that he was a protective person by nature, but you also missed the fun, care-free side to him from when you first met.
"Race you there."
"Wait-"
You didn't wait and ran for the water, wincing at the heat beneath your feet. You hated when he was right...
"You call that running?" He asked, jogging past you with a smiling baby.
Rafe waited for you at the shore as you caught your breath, quickly dipping your feet in the water as they burned.
"I had sand in my eyes." You excused with a shrug. He rolled his eyes but pulled you into his chest regardless.
"You were right." He said into your hair and you pulled back to look at him. "The water's a nice break from the heat. She'll love it."
He adjusted his grip on Bea and held her just slightly above the water, where it came to just below your knees and the tops of his ankles. Her toes skimmed the blue water and she immediately lifted her legs into her chest with a whine.
"Oh." You commented with surprise. "I guess she's not much of a water baby then."
"What?" Rafe said with a frown and looked down at his daughter as she actively avoided touching the water. "No she is." He insisted.
He lowered her a little more and she whimpered as a small wave splashed her legs.
"Oh dear." You recognised that pouty lip and grimaced as it wobbled before turning into a cry.
"Shit." He said, pulling her into his chest as she sobbed.
"She's a city girl." You laughed, holding onto your baby's foot and feeling the soft bottoms as she calmed down. "Aren't you?"
Rafe scowled. "She loves the bath. I thought she'd be happy here."
"She is happy here." You disputed with a frown.
"Clearly not." He said, visibly agitated with the situation.
You put your hands on your hips as you stared at the both of them. They shared the same unhappy frown. "She'll get used to it."
"I don't want to put her in the water if she doesn't like it." He snapped at you. "And there's no point living here if she doesn't like it." Rafe stormed out of the water and back to umbrella as Bea began to cry again.
You watched him leave with a narrowed gaze. His words settled in your mind and you speculated that the discussions of where Bea should grow up were grating on him.
As much as he wanted to move back home to Kildare, you put forward the point that you didn't have the money to live on Figure 8 and it's tormented him ever since.
You felt guilty at putting the cloudy thought in his mind. It wouldn't have bothered you, but it certainly bothered him to live as a 'would be Pogue'. If only he could see it in a different light...
"Hey, yo!" A voice called out from behind you. "Are you joining us, city girl?"
The figures of Sarah's friends were dotted in the water. A few on surf boards, including the Cameron girl herself.
"Yeah! Y/N come join me on my board!" She suggested with a wave.
You cast a glance back to shore. The rainbow umbrella was visible from here. Maybe seeing you have fun in the water with the Pogues would prompt Rafe to see they weren't so bad, or maybe he'd even join you himself.
"Just for a bit." You said, swimming over. You weren't the strongest swimmer but with Kiara's help, you were pulled onto the board and settled in front of Sarah.
You were in the water for about thirty minutes, most of which were spent laughing as the boy's wrestled in the water for a place on one of the surf boards. Or watching JJ wipe-out when he tried to surf as the waves on this side of the island were apparently not suited for surfing.
Sarah paddled around until Pope tipped you two off the board and you took it as your chance to head back to the umbrella, knowing you had two very grumpy baby's waiting for you...
You collapsed onto your towel with a tired huff.
It seems like you weren't the only tired one as Rafe had laid out a towel under the umbrella and lay on his side, blue eyes watching as your baby sat up on her own and played with wet sand. He must have collected it with her bucket.
"Thank you, sweetpea." You said as Bea passed you a chubby handful of the dark sand. She smiled at you from behind her pacifier and you bit your tongue, not wanting to argue with Rafe even though you'd spoken about stopping her using one.
"It stopped her from eating the sand." He voiced quietly, also accepting a handful of sand. Although he didn't manage much of a smile. "She's sitting up on her own." He noted.
You nodded. "She's growing up fast."
He didn't like the sound of that and shut his eyes, turning to lay on his back. Bea didn't mind and started piling sand on his chest.
But you didn't want him to remain in a glum state and knew you had to do something to lighten up his mood. The dilemma of your baby growing so fast, and the struggle to provide a stable place to raise her was causing a stress in your lives.
A frat house was no place for Bea to take her first steps, and now that you had both graduated, it was time to make your roots in the world your daughter would grow up in...
You stared at the ocean and then smiled.
"If you're anything like me, you'll give it one more try." You mumbled to your daughter, lifting her into your arms with a heave and standing up.
"What are you doing?" Rafe asked, sitting up in a panic.
"I'm trying again." You said with a shrug and he followed after you with protests as you hurried to the water.
But this time, you went deeper until it was at your hips before you called Sarah over.
She immediately spotted the two of you and paddled over. "Does bumblebee want a spot on the board?" She asked with a smile for the little girl.
"No, absolutely not." Rafe interrupted, coming up behind you, placing firm hands on your waist to help give you stability in the water.
"Rafe I've got her." You assured him, as Sarah hopped off her paddle board and held it still.
He said nothing but you felt him squeeze you in fear as you sat Bea gently on the wet board, not letting go of her as the water gently rocked it.
She looked at her father with watery eyes, her bottom lip sticking out and her arms flapping in protest as you and Sarah reassured her.
"Is that fun?" Sarah asked with a coo.
The other Pogues gathered round in interest as the baby sat on the board with a sad pout.
"Aww, she's not sure about the water." Kie pointed out with a sad smile.
"Here, this'll help." JJ said, using his fingers to flick some water at the baby and you froze as you waited for not only Bea's reaction, but Rafe's.
"You little fucker-"
He was cut off by his daughter's giggle.
"She loves it!" You cheered as she slapped her hand in the water and made a few splashes. It hit your chest and she laughed again.
JJ breathed a sigh of relief. "You see, I knew it'd work."
"Shut up." Rafe mumbled but splashed Bea with a flick of water against her leg anyway. He smiled as she laughed like she found it the funniest thing in the world, her big head titled back and everything.
"We're gonna go to the beach all the time!" Sarah celebrated, pressing a kiss against Bea's wet cheek.
You turned your head over your shoulder to look up at Rafe, trying to gauge his reaction to his sister's words. As if he read your thoughts, he stared down at you and smiled.
"Topper, Molly and Kelce won't be happy to find new roommates..."
"They'll just have to move here. Like us." You suggested and turned to face your happy baby again as he laughed at your words and lay a kiss on your shoulder.
"I love you."
You watched contently with Rafe pressed warmly against your back, as Sarah and Bea splashed John B playfully and he tried with little effort to splash them back.
You will uproot the life you started together in the city and move your family here, a place for your family tree to grow in the sun and by the water.
y'allll, i don't thrive under pressure and i didn't expect such a positive reaction to my stories... my writing abilities and moods fluctuate as im bipolar as fuck so i fear living up to expectations but here's a nugget of my appreciation for the love 🫶

Unpopular opinion, Fuckboy Bradley is hot, but I like Bradley and Baby Girl better. But I do like reading both! So thank you!

They are battling for dominance in my head. Right now Roo is beating FratBaby out, but just barely. My brain is a scary place.
