Nora when everyone arrives for Christmas!!

"NORA ST-!" quinn tries as nora takes off through the baggage claim,

"UNCLE JACKY UNCLE LUKEY!" she yells ignoring her dad as she runs into a bent down luke's arms,

"buggaboo!" luke exclaims squeezing her tight,

"hi lu," nora whispers squeezing her youngest uncle back, "missed you," luke presses a kiss to her temple and pulls away,

"i missed you too nor," jack cuts in a hand on his hip,

"uncle jacky!" she repeats launching into his legs,

"hi bug," the middle brother says scooping his niece up, "missed ya," nora beams at jack,

"you score uncle jacky!" she exclaims. jack chuckles nodding,

"i did didn't i,"

jack trying to get quinn to drink with them on the boat during the summer but he’s like there’s a three year old asleep on me right now no

"oh come on quinn," jack says, "stop being a party pooper. shes asleep you can have a drink," quinn narrows his eyes at his younger brother,

"no," he repeats for the hundredth time, "she might need me. even in her sleep. so no jack im not going to drink, so stop fucking asking,"

[dylan-duke]

Nora finding quinn at the end of the day just wanting her daddy after a long day of bouncing between people

"daddy," nora whispers hugging onto quinns leg, looking up at him,

"hi bug," he says, "watchya need?" the three year old just lifts her arms, "ok," quinn says scooping her up.

immediately nora cuddles into quinns chest,

"i stay," she mumbles bringing her thumb to her mouth. quinn chuckles softly pressing a kiss to the top of her head,

"ok hon,"

[dylan-duke]

Nora refusing her nap today no matter what Quinn offers, even getting to lay in daddy’s bed with him didn’t work

"NO SLEEP!" nora yells climbing out of bed,

"nora," quinn sighs out, "you need to nap. its been a long day,"

"NO!" she screams, "I WANT TO PLAY!" quinn sighs,

"what about with me?" he asks, "i want to nap can you come with me?"

"NO NO NO!" she screams, "I DONT WANT TO!"

[dylan-duke]

Nora waking up today

a daddy daughter moment

nora climbs into quinns bed, immediately begining to bounce in excitement,

"daddy up! santa came! daddy daddy!"

"shhhh," quinn hushes pulling nora down onto his chest, "too early," he mumbles,

"but daddy presents!" she insists. quinn lets out a sigh opening his eyes and looking at his daughter,

"did santa really come?" he asks. nora nods her head frantically quinn smiles and pulls her down to kiss her on the crown of her head,

"well i guess we better go take a look eh?"

[dylan-duke]

Nora with her grandpa

nora crawls onto the couch and onto her grandpas lap smiling,

"good morning nora," jim whispers setting the newspaper down as he adjusts his granddaughter.

the house was still quiet, the early risers being the only ones awake,

"hi pa," nora mumbles as she cuddles into the warmth of her granddad,

"still sleepy?" he asks,

"mhm," nora hums, "warm,"

[dylan-duke]

Toddler Nora wearing a two piece in the summer and her uncles get protective

"what is she wearing?" trevor asks as quinn and hora make there way down the dock. nora holding tightly to her dads hand,

"a swim suit," quinn says as nora beams,

"i picked it out at target trevvy do you like it?" trevor scowls,

"no where are all your clothes?" jack pops up staring at his niece,

"yah quinn," the middle child says, "where are her clothes?" quinn rolls his eyes as he scoops nora up and deposits her on the boat,

"if that is what she wants to wear than that's what shes wearing," quinn says matter a factly.

"if shes wearing what?" luke asks as he comes running with the wakeboard under his arm,

"A BIKINI!" trevor and jack exclaim as luke looks at his niece, eyes narrowing at nora,

"a bikini?" he asks as he turns to quinn,

"she picked it out," the eldest says with a shrug, "what was i supposed to do?" luke narrows his eyes before he shrugs,

"i mean its not like shes surrounded by toddlers," the youngest hughes points out, "its just us, and she does look cute so,"

[dylan-duke]

Jack in pain at the lake house and frustrated with his recovery and gets annoyed by Nora but instantly feels bad when she bursts into tears

"PLEASE UNCLE JACKY!" nora yells, "I WANT TO PLAY!"

"DAMMIT NORA!" jack snaps, "I CAN'T DEAL WITH YOU OK! IM HURT I CAN'T PLAY! I CANT DO FUCKING ANYTHING!" nora flinches moving back from her uncle as she begins to cry hard,

"what the HELL is going on in here?" quinn asks as he runs into the room, scooping his crying daughter into his arms,

"SHES FUCKING ANNOYING ME!" jack yells, "SHE DOESNT GET IT!" quinn puts a hand on noras head as she cries into the crook of his neck,

"dont yell at my daughter because you're in pain jack rowden," quinn hisses, "she is 3 fucking years old and doesn't get it jack. that's how it works,"

[dylan-duke]

quinn never lets anyone to bedtime with nora expect elias because they use to live together when nora was born so if there is anyone quinn trusts the most with his daughter is elias and when elias and brock comes to lake house elias does bedtime with nora and everyone is like WHAT!

"you good giving her a bath?" quinn asks as he passes nora to elias,

"HE GETS TO GIVE HER A BATH?" luke yells,

"YAH WHAT THE HELL QUINN?" jack joins in as he comes running into the room,

"elias has been giving her baths since she was 6 months old," quinn says to his brothers, "and for about 2 months he was the only reason why she slept, so he can give her as many baths as much as he and nora want,"

jack and lukes faces both turn into pouts as nora leans into elias,

"petey bath,"

"go ahead," quinn says as he leans to kiss noras temple, "ill come say goodnight when you're done, ok?"

"mhm," nora hums as petey turns and walks up the stairs,

"this is ludicrous," jack mumbles,

"you don't even know what that means," quinn says as he walks past his brothers and into the kitchen.

[dylan-duke]

quinn peeks his head into his daughters room unable to resist the urge to step inside when he sees her messy head of air peaking out from under all her covers.

as quietly as he can he enters the room and sits on the edge of nora's bed. instinctively the toddler turns towards her dad as she nuzzles further into her pillows.

gently quinn pushes the covers back and scoops nora into his chest,

"hmuggg," nora grumbles out,

"shhhh," quinn coos, "its just daddy baby girl," he reassures rubbing noras back.

nora hums nuzzling into his sweatshirt,

"da," she breaths out before she relaxes again,

"wanna come sleep with me baby?" the dad asks softly, "i missed you honey," nora just hums her hand reaching up to grab onto his sweatshirt.

quinn smiles pushing himself up and off of nora's bed,

"alright honey lets go to daddys room,"

[dylan-duke]

as much as Nora loves her family and her uncles at the lake house. Sometimes she just wants her daddy and 101 time with no one else around. Like at home in Vancouver where they can play just them or cuddle up and watch a movie. But because Nora is so little and still learning to communicate she kind of has a tantrum trying to explain that she just wants her daddy and no one else around for a bit.

"NO!" nora yells pushing luke away from quinn,

"nora wren," quinn snaps, "you do not push," the father chastises,

"NO!" the three year old yells again tears beginning to stream down her face as it turns red,

"nora," quinn coos softly, "honey what's going on?"

"DADDY!" nora cries throwing herself into quinns chest, sniffling as she sobs,

"ok ok," quinn soothes moving to stand as he gently rubs his daughters back, "maybe its time for us to a nap," nora clutch strengthens around him,

"no leave," quinn pulls back so that he can look at his daughter's teary face,

"honey you're tired you have to go to bed in your room," nora's eyes fill with tears as she shakes her head adamant,

"no." she says, "no go," quinn sighs brushing his hand through her hair,

"do you want to nap with my on the coach?" quinn asks,

"no room daddy," nora says. quinn bites his lip,

"ok hon. we can nap in my bed, maybe watch a movie?" nora smiles nodding,

"please daddy," she pleads. quinn kisses her forehead gently,

"ok hon,"

[dylan-duke]

Teenage nora in a bikini, with friends over, and her uncles are like, no, and they see the looks she's getting from guys and are trying to get quinn to do something lol

nora had made friends with all the kids growing up around the lake, and now they were all 15/16/17 years old and the hughes house had turned into the hangout spot.

quinn and layla were the cool young parents, nora was the only one who could get away with taking the boat out, and she had a nice big pool.

so it wasnt a surprise when jack and luke arrive back at the house one day and find that there backyard has been infultrated by teenagers.

"what is going on?" they ask quinn,

"she has some friends over,"

"what is she wearing?" luke says narrowing his eyes,

"i dont know a bathing suit?" quinn says looking at his brothers like they're crazy, "i think she got it with layla," jack scowls,

"and you're letting her wear it?" he screeches. quinn rolls his eyes,

"shes 15 years old get over it,"

[dylan-duke]

Nora barely being able to sleep because its gonna be halloween and hockey time and her uncles are there

"daddy!" nora screams from her room, "I CANT SLEEP!" quinn sighs looking at his mom, dad, and brothers,

"i can go-" jim says moving to push himself off the couch,

"i got it," quinn says beating his dad to the punch, "its my turn and i have a feeling shes just to wired, so im probably going to let her watch a show in my room," he looks at ellen as the mom of three smiles reassuringly,

"jacky used to be the same way," she reassures, "one episode of arthur and he'd fall fast asleep," quinn chuckles shaking his head,

"of course it was,"

[dylan-duke]

"UNCLE JACKY!" nora screams as jack opens the door to the passenger seat,

"hi bugaboo!" jack coos, "how was school?" the uncle asks,

"good!" nora yells, "wheres lukey?" jack chuckles looking back behind him as luke pokes his head over his brothers shoulder,

"right here nor!" the youngest brother exclaims,

"UNCLE LUKEY!" nora yells even louder then when jack had appeared,

"hi nor," luke greets voice soft, "have you had a good day?" nora nods her head enthusiastically,

"i got to bring show and tell today, and i brought your jerseys! cause you come!"

[dylan-duke]

Oh my goodness and whenever Nora sees Jack next she teases him a bit 😭😭

But in the cutest way possible

"look uncle jacky!" nora yells across the rink,

"im watching!" jack assures as he turns towards his niece. nora then dramatically losses an edge and falls to the ice.

she lays there for a second before looking up and beaming,

"im like you uncle jacky!" jacks jaw drops as he stares at his niece everyone cackling aorund them.

[dylan-duke]

anything with nora and the uncles

"hi uncle lukey," nora whispers as she climbs into her uncles bed,

"hmm," luke hums,

"nappy?" nora asks as she manages to climb under her uncles covers and on top of him,

"sure munchkin," luke mumbles wrapping nora into his arms, "wheres quinny?" he asks as his eyes begin to flutter closed,

"dunno," nora mumbles, "but i sleep,"

and when quinn goes looking for his daughter, who was supposed to be laying in bed, he's thrilled to find her in her uncles arms. both snoring softly.
