What if Jay and Gloria from Modern family did have a daughter that was Lily's age (maybe older) before Joe?

What would your story be for her?

[asadfangirlbitxh]

Modern family takes as a person with family issues (LOTS OF THEM)

I wish Sofia and Jay didn't have a baby or they had a daughter. Joe was the boy Jay always wanted and it will constantly make Mitchell and Manny feel less than

I wish we saw more Dunphy sibling episodes

Also more cousin moments. They didn't know what to do with the kids by the end. But I would love a bonding moment between them with Manny and Joe (technically not cousins) but that would have been nice

The whole Manny has a crush on Haley, Lily has a crush on Manny, Phil has a crush on Gloria and Joe like Claire is so weird. I don't know who came up with these jokes. But it was fucking gross.

Alex and Mitchell deserve all the hugs.

Older Lily was so neglected which makes no sense. Because Mitchell and Cam loved kid Lily so much and were great parents The writers really screwed up their dynamic

The adult relationships were more fleshed out than the kids .It makes sense that they did that but I would love to see Mitchell-Manny, Gloria-lily, Lily-Jay, Alex-Gloria, Luke-Cam, Luke-Mitchell, Claire-Manny ( like the scene in season 1 where they have that cute moment), Haley-Manny (not creepy ver), Luke-Lily, Manny- Alex and so many more

Haley's ending will always hurt me. Not because of Dylan but more because she was supposed to show all of us that she was more than just that high school cliche. I would love to see her a single stay-at-home mom or even a wife who wanted kids. But getting pregnant on accident and getting the future that everyone made fun of her assumed she would hurt me so much. (this could be because I spent my whole life fighting against what my parents wanted for me)

Cam is toxic but Mitchell as much as I love him can be condescending. So it makes sense Cam has to act the way he does for Mitch to see what he needs (DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY BUT MAKES SENSE)

I really wished they didn't fuck Manny up as a character. He had so much potential

MODERN FAMILY (2009-2020) 7X17 - Express Yourself

[questionable-disarray]

Modern Family is the show of all time

[hitchell-mope]

Five years later.

Now be warned. These headcanons are based on what I personally think could have happened to the Pritchett’s by 2024. The pandemic and lockdown influenced this scenario. And it will have my own interpretations of the characters. So if you don’t like it. Don’t read it.

Let’s get the pandemic stuff out if the way first shall we?

During the lockdown Jay decided (read: he was forced to admit) that novelty dog beds were a nonstarter. So now he’s a freelance consultant for closest firms like his own. He has his own hours. And he can make them pay through the nose. So he’s very happy.

Because of the pandemic freezing everything. Gloria decided to volunteer enforcing the six feet apart rule at supermarkets. She proved very effective.

Manny got lucky. Very lucky. He got cold feet the day before the cruise left so he was at home when the lockdown started in earnest. Javier on the other hand got stuck on a Covid cruise and became born again. Gloria wishes that he wasn’t.

Joe loved the zoom classes. He got to show his teachers his room. And he became very popular with his new class when he showed them the pool.

With the housing market frozen during lockdown, Phil also volunteered at the supermarket as a cashier and cleaner. It lacks the major human interaction he prefers. But he was proud to contribute to society in some way during the crisis.

Claire hated the pandemic. Her new job went up in smoke two weeks in. She had to reclean everything every two hours. It got so bad that Alex had to recommend a therapist to her. Claire still isn’t 100% yet. But she’s getting there. Plus. She’s gotten closer to Dylan.

Haley’s marriage suffered during lockdown a little bit. Dylan was classed as an essential worker. So he was basically living at the hospital for months on end. And he felt like he couldn’t talk to her about it. Not even when a surge of very young patients died on his watch on the same day. The only one he felt like talking to was Claire. But now they’re in marriage counselling. Which is helping them a lot.

Alex and Arvin also got very lucky. They were in California for his birthday and staying at the Dunphy house when everything shutdown. Their jobs in Switzerland were packed in. But at least Alex had her family around her during the lockdown.

Luke had a mixed bag during the pandemic. He was just about to leave for Oregon when lockdown was announced. Which meant that he was still at home and doing zoom classes so that was good. But he also had Alex breathing over his shoulder.

The lockdown was a miserable experience for Mitchell. In a completely different state miles away from the rest of his family. He kept a 24 hour zoom call going just so he could see his father every day. Needless to say he was over the moon when Cameron suggested they move back to California when lockdown was lifted.

Cameron’s dream job turned into a nightmare once all of the schools closed. Plus his side of the family, especially Pameron, didn’t follow any of the rules properly so he kept having to throw them out of the house to keep Lily and Rex safe. Admittedly he did go a little overboard when he misinterpreted “bubble” and tied to wrap the houses exterior in plastic. But eventually he calmed down and got through it.

Lily fared a little better. She found learning in place boring. But she was happy to finally have a reason to yell “get away from me” when people broke the six feet apart rule.

Now on to the fun stuff. This will be a bit Luke heavy because he’s my favourite character.

Luke ended up majoring in child psychology at the University of Oregon. He figured that George, Poppy and Rex could do with an Uncle Frasier. That and he watched Silence of the Lambs a lot during lockdown. He wisely leaves that out of conversation.

At ten am on the Fourth of July 2022 Luke Dunphy became a father to a boy he calls Phillip Franklin Dunphy. Frankie for short. The baby was left on the doorstep nameless. But he knows who mother is though. He only slept with one redhead after all. He’s now suing for full custody with Mitchell’s help on grounds of abandonment.

Luke fell in love with his college roommate in 2024. Reeves McCoy. (For references sake think of John Boyega in the force awakens but with a prominent Missouri accent). Reeve is on the wrestling team and is majoring in family law. Luke brought Reeve home for the summer. He hadn’t told anyone so everyone was very surprised but very happy for him. None more so than Cameron and Mitchell. Then Cameron found out they Reeve is a descendant of the fabled McCoy family. And Cameron was raised believing that the Hatfield’s are in his veins. Reeve won him over by singling a ten hour Cher medley.

Haley and Dylan have another baby now. Clark Kent Marshall. Named after Claire. And the ward that he was born on. Neither of them get the reference to superman.

George’s first word was “oops”. Poppy’s first word was “no”. Rex’s first word was “Lily”. Lily lords it over Cameron and Mitchell every chance she gets. And Frankie’s first word was “dada”. Luke finally understands why Phil is the was he is.

Lily can yodel like Alameda Slim. Mitchell pays her 100 dollars a week to keep it a secret from Cameron. He categorically refuses to start a bluegrass band.

Alex and Arvin are married but don’t have children. They mutually decided not to. Instead they have a calico cat called Curie. Unfortunately for them. He has a habit of running through plate glass doors. So now Joe calls him Luke the Cat. And it stuck.

Thankfully for all concerned. Mitchell and Cameron moved back into their perfect house in 2021. It pays to be related to a realtor like Gloria.

Manny finally got fame for his movies. And he hates it. He made what he felt was a hard hitting docudrama about mother and son relationships. But it’s known as a reimagining of Psycho. He’s now joined Phil and Gloria in the real estate business.

Claire got on the Marie Kondo train. She started her own business where she helps people clean up their lives. Especially families with a lot of children.

Joe is a very smart student. Well. He would be if he didn’t channel all his intellect into a black market candy stall. Jay still doesn’t know where he got the merchandise from.

Phil and Gloria started a new business with Manny after Covid. Family Realty. They proved extremely successful with Mitchell and Cameron’s friends.

And that is what I think the Pritchett’s are doing five years after the show ended.

Joe's Graduation

The whole family is going to fly back for graduation. One can literally feel the excitement and anticipation on the flight. Jay and Gloria are just excited to have the family together, especially for such a milestone in Joe's life.

The entire family is there to watch as Joe walks across the stage to get his diploma. In the crowd are Phil and Claire, Haley and Dylan, Alex and Arvin, Luke, Mitchell, Cam, Lily, and Ruxford—who is definitely there for a big family appearance.

After the ceremony, dinner is taken together. Manny tells stories from The Avengers set, while Gloria tells everyone about what Joe has achieved. There is much laughter, love, and the feeling of unity in that atmosphere.

As the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan grows and evolves further, they are very close, there to support each other through those critical moments in life. Through shared experiences and deep love, they remain bonded no matter where life might take them.

I have finished Modern Family. This series has been really fun and will hold a special place in my heart. I am watching this when I eat lunch or dinner as I am living alone and have no one to share a meal with. Thanks for letting me be part of this amazing and loving family! ❤️

[captain-hook-and-the-swan-savior]

So I recently just finished watching Modern Family and wanted to read some cute Claire and Phil/ Dunphy Family fics, but quickly realized there are not many normal, non incestuous, Modern Family fics. Can anyone point me in the direction of cute Claire/Phil or family fics?

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

[bestsistertournament]

Propaganda Under Cut:

Gloria Pritchett (Mother of Manny Delgado + Joe Pritchett): Gloria raised Many on her own and has a strong relationship with him, and she is very supportive of his interests. She is always willing to stand up to anyone who harms or insults Manny. When she falls pregnant with her second son she is worried that her husband will not support her but says she will raise him on her own if necessary.

Sarah Jane Smith (Mother of Luke + Sky): Luke opened Sarah-Jane's lonely life to others. She cared deeply for him and supported him in discovering the strange world that he sprung alive into. He is the most important thing in her life. When he leaves or is taken from her she is absolutely devestated. When Sky is left in her care she is quick to see her as a child and not a weapon and to protect her from those who do not. She gives these two strange children a home and a life.

#9 Modern Family

Plot: A big family of parents, kids, grandkids, uncles and mixed up generations live their lives in modern Los Angeles. The soft alpha-male Jay is in his 60's and remarried to young hot Colombian Gloria and lives in a big house with her son Manny (and later on, also their mutual son Joe). His daughter Claire, a friend of order and housewife (at first), is married to excentric real estate agent Phil and they have three kids; the not so booksmart Haley, the extremely booksmart Alex and the clumsy Luke. Jay's son, neatfreak lawyer Mitchell lives with his partner (and later husband), the flamboyant football coach Cameron and their daughter; the snarky but smart Lily. Together they tackle the challenges of overbridgeing generational differences, growing up, moving out, dealing with losses and gains. But, they'll always have each other.

Years: 2009-2020

Seasons: 11

My story: Like many other series I started to watch this seriously when I got into Netflix in the mid 2010's. The broad variety of characters and their everyday challenges spoke to me and I loved watching them grow up and develop over the years.

Teachable moments: Family relationships might be the hardest ones we have to deal with, they're there, weither we like it or not. We can say goodbye, we can split up and create chosen families instead. But this series shows how differences can come together and strengthen each other, how a family that seems vastly different can be the most important support for each other.

Best character: Haley does an interesting journey through the seasons. From being just a stupid shallow high schooler and college dropout, she becomes succesfull in her professional life aswell as a loving mother of twins. I like how the writers made us see that theres more to her than meets the eye, and that there are different ways to make it in this world.

Best episode: "Disneyland" (S3E22). Who doesn't love a trip to Disneyland? The family is dealing with the challenges of being on the happiest, and most crowded place on earth. Supporting each other, with and without ulterior motives, and two girls gets new pairs of shoes.

Best quote: "Every time anyone accomplishes anything, they achieve it with the help of a thousand silent heroes." (Alex)

Fun fact: Sofía Vergara, who plays Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, was surprised to hear Ed O'Neill's voice the first time they met. When she grew up in Colombia in the 70's she used to watch dubbed versions of his hit show "Married with kids" and therefore had only seen him "speak in spanish".

If you like this you might also like: New Girl, Black-ish, Fresh of the boat and Fuller House.
