Penelope and joey

Also

Gimmie Drew and Reby bye

rofl, so now more than ever, let's talk about a juno kinda inspired, teen pregnancy AU for penelope and joey.

then later, fckin' TEACHER/SINGLE PARENT AU for drew and reby.

the good cheerleader girl who likes heavy music winds up on the wrong side of a party and ends up hooking up with the absolute worst bad boy in the entire school because they've both had a little too much to drink and shocker, when you're plastered, you don't really think about a condom in a tiny half bathroom at someone's mom's house.

penelope is terrified that her parents are going to disown her, that her friends are going to leave her, that everything is going to go completely upside down, meanwhile joey isn't listening to a word she's fucking saying because he just found out that he's gonna be a dad, and she plans on keeping the baby, and even if they had the conversation about alternative things to do, he also can't stomach the idea of losing his child, even if this child wasn't planned, even if, even if, even if. so, they keep it a secret. for a long time. hell, half the time they act like they hardly know each other. it's wildly unhealthy, and it doesn't help them come together as parents at all, but as she gets further along and as things progress, joey begins to give a real damn about penelope to the point that he finds himself in fights with football players that made comments about penelope's body changing and her gaining weight. penelope finds herself defending joey verbally to her friends and the teachers she knows and loves, wanting to make sure that he doesn't get expelled or any horrible abuses from her friends. they only tell people when the baby is almost here. and even then, they don't tell everyone. penelope's parents were furious, joey's mom was ready to adopt the baby if completely necessary, penelope's friends were Less than Pleased with her choices in life and joey's friends thought it meant he sold out to the higher crowd. it was all a mess. penelope wishes she just would've come home with the baby without explanation.

joey steals the cutest fucking gender-neutral clothes from target. penelope is angry at first because obviously, she doesn't want to dress her baby in something that's been stolen, but goddamnit, he really does have pretty decent taste and the clothes he steals are absolutely adorable. he tries to encourage penelope to steal some on her own time and she contemplates it, but she's just too much of a goody two shoes to ever go along and do it. that baby has so many cute band shirts, leather jackets, and everything that feels so very much Joey. when they find out that they're having a little girl, penelope is DELIGHTED and joey's world turns upside down because he has the harsh reality check of "fuck, what if there's someone out there like me that tries to fuck around with MY daughter?" and he automatically becomes so much more insanely protective that it's kind of adorable.

that baby inspires joey to get his shit together, in the best way. like, he starts attending class. he starts giving a fuck. he talks to doctors about his adhd and tries to find ways to make school and everything else in the world more bearable. he wants to pass, and to succeed-- he wants to be able to provide for his little girl and give him everything in the world. he wants to be one hell of a dad, and he also wants to make sure that he doesn't leave her too soon in life because he knows that pain and anguish, so he finds himself falling out of drugs and heavy drinking because who fucking knows how long he'd last with that combination.

somewhere along the way, pen and joey fall madly and deeply in love. like it's blatant, but they're both still so young and going through so much that neither one says anything to the other. especially after their daughter is born and they get to see each other with her, it's damn near impossible for their hearts to not explode like confetti balloons. it isn't until one night where penelope leaves the baby with joey and his mom to go out on a date where joey finally snaps and says something. penelope is fucking shook to her core and is torn-- because part of her is ANGRY at him for never saying anything until now, and the other part is so overwhelmed because she feels very much the same way, but it's such a romeo/juliet situation where they shouldn't be together, their families wouldn't want them to be together (except joey's mom would love it), but still. penelope winds up leaving her date early and comes home and lays a big ol' kiss on joey. from then on, they start dating.

joey fucking graduates. he passes high school, mostly through sheer determination and will of wanting to prove something to himself and to penelope and his daughter that anything is possible. penelope graduates with honors as the cheer captain, and she does some corny ass speech at graduation about surprises and good things coming even when you don't expect them. but now there's the conversation of college and life after high school and whether or not it will go well.... WELL!!!

--------------------

imagine a scenario where drew is the teacher at some school, and reby is a freshly single parent. no one really knows why, no one really knows... anything, but they know reby-- she was the prime PTA mom, the one who was involved in everything, was making sure that the school that she paid insane money for covered things that were important. she went from like Thee Mom of the school to coming back after summer vacation just a shell of who she was, and maxel is in mr. gulak's class for the year and :)

reby, as always, trying to go above and beyond-- to provide for the class, to provide for her kids, to make sure that the teacher knows how appreciated she is. so she learns things about him from maxel, and around the holidays, she sends him little hanukkah gifts that let her know how grateful she is that her son is with such a wonderful person. she regularly sends him snacks and things, especially on friday's. making sure that mr. gulak actually ate breakfast, otherwise sending him bagels and coffee. she practically funds all the school field trips without the other parents even having to get involved, partially because she wants the best for her son, but partially because she just wants drew to be able to be the teacher he deserves to be, without any restrictions holding him back.

every time they have a parent-teacher meeting, their conversations will go on for hours. the first time it was interrupted by the next family, but the following time, they made sure to schedule their's as the last for the night and they just stayed and talked and got to know each other and talked and talked and talked. drew went in feeling as though he learned nothing new about reby every time, whereas he exposed everything about himself that he could within reasonable comfort. he could tell she was guarded, and not once did they ever discuss her separation from matt, what had led to her downfall, anything. but amazingly, he was one of the only ones who never asked. even more so, he was the one who didn't really care. he treated her how he would've treated her in any other scenario, as he had in the past when he only knew her as a PTA mom that would burn down the school if it meant making sure her children were taken care of and provided for in the way she so desired.

maxel is what leads to them meeting outside of a school setting, because he's interested in mat wrestling and drew teaches at a local school. little does reby know that when she's taking maxel to this first class, drew will be there. and it's a different drew, it's not the teacher with the nice clothes and the fat ass that's about to bust the buttons on his slacks, but drew in workout gear and relaxed and you can ~ SEE THINGS ~ and she finds herself having to actually leave the facility for a minute to gather her thoughts because he's somehow even hotter??? than she'd ever realized, and he was already REALLY FUCKING HOT. so now, reby's seen him in two wonderful settings, and she gets nailed in the head with a third when she realizes that maxel truly fucking loves learning from him, like so much-- and that maxel outright asked him if he'd be willing to teach him how to play guitar, since mr. gulak had done it before in class. which means a WHOLE 'NOTHER DAY OF THEM BEING TOGETHER OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. maxel knows what he's doing.

drew comes to their house for guitar lessons, and eevee automatically takes to him, when she doesn't take to anybody. she's generally very much Gothic Baby and stands to the side, unimpressed, not sure with anyone, but for some reason, from out the gate, she's absolutely obsessed with him and won't leave him alone. so he'll be there, trying to teach maxel guitar while gothic baby is sitting on the ground right by him looking up at him with so much amazement and love in her eyes. one night, reby offers to make him dinner after giving him his payment (which he asked for fucking nickels and dimes) and drew finally accepts, and they stay up all night talking. the boys and eevee eventually go to bed (eevee fell asleep on drew), but reby and drew stay up all night long talking about everything and anything under the sun. their passions, their loves, their families, and eventually even matt. drew discusses his own exes, his own faults, his own everything-- it's a super deep, super intimate conversation and reby tries to make him stay the night but he's a fucking Gentleman and doesn't do it, but insists that he's able to take her out and get to do this the proper way, the way she deserves.

they go on dates. they fall in love. everything is beautiful and magical and wonderful and a complete perfect fairytale dream. there is no negative. they're absolutely perfect for one another, and they raise her kids as if they're his. they become such perfect, honest, noble little people and eventually, drew proposes and eevee CRIES out of jealousy lmao. their wedding is a complete DIY situation but it's done on the first day of summer vacation because they're both absolutely psychotic. they wind up opening a music school in the same town, one where she teaches piano and drew teaches guitar. they're both insanely involved in the school still. they love each other unconditionally. it's absolutely perfect and a dream and :) amen.
