Ted headcanon, trying to convince him to get a pet and he settles on getting a lizard or a cat

SO CUTE I LOVE IT RAHHHH

Ted Nivison || Pet Dad

You’d been on a mission for weeks. You’ were determined to convince Ted that his life wasn’t complete without a pet… And frankly, neither was yours. It started with casual mentions and evolved into a full-blown campaign. You would regularly reposting or mentioning cute animal videos, hoping that Ted might subconsciously come around to the idea. But he remained stubbornly skeptical.

One evening, you decided it was time to up your game. After a long day, you both flopped onto the couch, and Ted was immediately absorbed in a game on his phone. You, on the other hand, were scrolling through videos on yours, searching for the perfect clip to make your case. You found it. A kitten, its tiny paws batting at its own tail with. You couldn’t help but smile.

Nuzzling closer to Ted, you rested your head on his shoulder and showed him the video. “Hey, Ted,” you said, “Don’t you think your life could use a some of this?”

Ted chuckled, casting a playful side-eye at you. “Are you trying to tell me I need a pet to keep me entertained? I mean, I think you keep me pretty entertained.” He teases.

You rolled your eyes playfully, setting your phone aside and turning to face him. “Think about it. A pet would make our home so much fun! You’d have someone to keep you company when I’m not around. Plus, pets are scientifically proven to reduce stress, and I know you could use some extra relaxation.”

Ted smirked, leaning back with his arms behind his head. “Oh, so now you’re pitching this as a health benefit? You’re really pulling out all the stops, aren’t you?”

You grinned, undeterred. “Yep! I’ve even got names picked out. Imagine it: a little lizard we could call ‘Fang,’ or a cat named ‘Whiskers.’ They’d totally complete the vibe here.”

Ted laughed, shaking his head in disbelief. “Whiskers Nivison? That’s… oddly fitting.” He chuckled. “But you do realize pets require a lot of care, right? It’s not just about cute videos and fun names.”

You leaned closer, your hand gently resting on his chest.

“I know, but that’s what makes it special. We’d be doing this together. Feeding them, playing with them, making them feel loved. And I know you’d be amazing at it, Ted. You have such a big heart, and I can already picture you getting all soft over a little pet.”

Ted raised an eyebrow, his expression softening at your words. “You really think I’d be a good pet parent?”

You nodded, your voice earnest.

“I know you would be. Just like how you take care of me, you’d take care of them. And it’d be another adventure for us, something to share and enjoy together.”

Ted sighed, starting to crumble under your sweet words and the genuine excitement in your eyes.

“Alright, alright. But we’re starting small. No giant dogs or exotic creatures. Maybe a cat… or a lizard. Something manageable.”

You practically bounced in your seat, wrapping your arms around his neck in excitement.

“Really? You mean it? Oh my gosh, Ted, this is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait to start looking!”

Ted laughed, pulling you closer and pressing a kiss to your forehead. “I’ve never seen you this excited about anything. I guess we’re really doing this, huh?”

You nodded eagerly, already mentally planning the perfect setup for your future pet.

“We’ll find the cutest little pet, and they’ll be so spoiled. This is going to be amazing.”

As you settled back into his embrace, your heart swelled with happiness. You could already imagine the little moments. Coming home to a wagging tail or a curious lizard, curling up on the couch with Ted and your new pet between you, and all the joy that would come from having something to care for together.

Ted couldn’t help but smile as he watched you, realizing that he wasn’t just agreeing to a pet, he was agreeing to yet another shared chapter in your lives. And as he held you close, he knew that whatever pet you brought home, it would be just one more reason to be thankful for the life you were building together.

The next day, you and Ted set out to find the perfect pet. You visited a local shelter and spent hours there, playing with the kittens and observing the lizards. Ted was torn between a playful tabby cat that kept batting at his fingers and a chill bearded dragon that stared at him as if they had already formed a silent bond.

After much deliberation and several rounds of rock-paper-scissors you both decided on a lizard. Ted promptly named him “Sir Scales.”

The first day with Sir Scales was a whirlwind of excitement. Ted was surprisingly hands-on, meticulously setting up Sir Scales’ tank and ensuring everything was perfect. You caught him reading up on lizard care late into the night, and it was the cutest thing ever.

The first time Sir Scales ate in front of you, you and Ted cheered like proud parents. Ted even started keeping a little log of Sir Scales’ feeding times and behavior, just to make sure he was adjusting well.

You and Ted created a little routine around Sir Scales. Every morning, Ted greeted him with a cheerful

“Good morning, Sir Scales!” before giving him fresh water. You’d started calling it “scaly bonding time.”

When you were cuddled up on the couch, you joked about how Sir Scales was the best third wheel, low maintenance but always silently judging. Ted laughed, kissing your forehead and saying,

“We really did pick the perfect pet, didn’t we?”

Sometimes, you’d find Ted just sitting by the tank, watching Sir Scales bask under his heat lamp. When you asked him what he was doing, he’d just shrug and say,

“He’s surprisingly relaxing to watch.” You loved these little moments when Ted’s childlike side came out.

15 Welcome *ome, Anna

The shuttle clunked on the ground, and out stepped Anna, Princess Anna. Ugh,... I think I've created a monster in my own mind. She was wearing the same white dress as that first day. A wide strap sleeveless affair in cotton. I vaguely remember seeing her in it from some past memory, ah yes, it's from a story I wrote. She was in the Mediterranean on a trip........ She held out her arms as she approached me, almost as if she was displaying her new arm. We wrapped each other up, and kissed for what seemed like forever. Then something happened that I had totally forgot about, Rain Day. Yep, it rained on a schedule here. The clouds weren't heavy enough for any real precipitation, so they pumped water thru a gazillion nozzles to make it rain in the Habitat. So there we were, recreating the end of Breakfast at Tiffany's. All we needed was Cat. I just didn't care, it wasn't that cold, and I couldn't move, for fear of spoiling the moment. Even with all the time in the world, I kept having this gnawing feeling that it would all get ripped away at any time. She'd be gone, the Habitat would disappear, and my flabby old carcass would come back, like Cinderella at midnight. But that's what life is, it doesn't last forever, and you have to make the most of it. Even though I would turn out to be one of the oldest humans ever to live. At the time, it just didn't seem like enough.

_________________________________________________________

As we walked back to the house she seen it, and started giggling in the cutest way possible. I had made a sign just like the one in Frozen Fever and hung it in the trees, 'cept this one said; 'Welcome Home Anna'. I had specified to Olaf several days ago I wanted water color paint and a brush on paper to recreate what Kristoff had done. Now that it was raining the paint was running down the paper, making it a complete mess, as the 'H' fell to the ground. "Well, I bet the stuff inside the house survived." "I still love it." Then she kissed me on the cheek. Inside the house it was wall to wall flowers, Minoo gave me a hand with this yesterday. I'm glad Abzari turned her loose with me, I needed the help, and it was a sign that he was letting go of the past, this would have never occurred on Earth. She is very attractive, but my days of chasing tail were decades behind me, and all I can see is Anna in my life now. I'm so glad I can look at a woman like Minoo, and see only beauty, instead of desire.

"Oh my God, they're sooo beautiful!, she walked up to every arrangement to give it a sniff. "We should probably get into some dry clothes." "Stellar idea." She went to the replicator and got something comfortable. As she started up the steps, she gave me a long look. I knew what it was, this where I would help her. "Go ahead, I'll get dressed in the Cave." She slowly turned and walked up the stairs. It's amazing to me how these little things that come in and out of our lives can have such a profound effect. But every Sun-day I would button her buttons, or put on and tie her shoes, and she would smile. It would be our tiny little ritual. And this one was pretty harmless.

So we had dinner, and I finally noticed it, she had a perfectly circular scar around her shoulder. They cut off the remains of her arm and popped in the new one at the socket. Probably trimming off the excess like a vinyl record fresh out of the stamper. She seen me starring at it. "Pretty ugly scar, eh?" "I honestly don't care. you're in one piece, and you have your independence back, that is all that matters. You are just as beautiful as the day I met you." "Still, I wouldn't mind doing a cover-up. Whatcha' think, flowers, Celtic, or maybe a dragon?" "And ruin your beautiful freckles?" She gave me a puzzled look. "You think my freckles are beautiful?" "Of course, do you think you'd have them if I didn't?" It took her a second to realize what I was saying. "Oh, yea." "Anna, your beauty lies in these tiny little flaws." I started to touch them. "I never subscribed to the typical beauty that so many American males were attracted to, I'm sure you've noticed your breasts aren't gigantic, right? I think they're actually a touch smaller than in the movie." "Wait, WHAT?" "As it turned out, you were kinda' built to specs, and I'm into the dancers body, the Gamine. They obviously seen this and made you this way. You are my ultimate beauty, and anything you do to degrade that is going to sadden me, but I must be fair. Even if they created the image I wanted, it's your body, and you can do what you want. Just know the scar doesn't bother me, and if it bothers you, then fix it. I don't want to ever reduce your happiness." "When I first met you, you were scared of me, and I thought it was a mistake to love you. I will never believe that again." More hugs, more kisses, more love. She understood what I meant, and she would never feel the touch of the artist's needle. She respected my thoughts, the one's I had while I lied in stasis, waiting for my fountain of youth, dreaming of twirling in the ballroom with the strawberry blonde princess.

_________________________________________________________

I got a hold of the Doc and had him come by to give Anna a thorough going over, and I mean thorough. He was a little nervous about this, as we were trying to be friends, and the idea of seeing all of her before I did concerned him. "It's OK, Doc. I really don't have a problem with this. Besides, if her vagina has razor sharp teeth in it, I'd rather you lose some fingers vs. my junk." "Very funny, Michael. But I suspect that wouldn't be the case." "Either way, we need to know what's going on here, and any clue is a good clue. I for one am sick of all this secrecy." "Very well, shall we proceed?" "Anna, can you come upstairs please?, the Doc is ready for you." She came up the stairs with light, unsure steps. While she said she was OK with this, she may be having second thoughts. "It'll be OK, Anna. He's done this many times before." Which was an absolute lie, he's never examined an alien before. "OK, Anna remove all your clothes and lie on the bed." "That is my cue to go downstairs, make sure you buy her dinner first!" "Good one, Michael, thanks for being so helpful, while I'm so nervous." I knew I'd be in for it later.

After a while I heard the snap of the glove. Then I heard Anna give a loud 'RAHHHH!' as the Doc immediately gasped. I was rolling on the floor at that point. I wonder if she heard the razor sharp teeth bit. Doc came down the steps first, while Anna got dressed, he was still breathing a little heavy. "Well one things for sure, she has my sense of humor, you OK Doc?" "I've been better. Can we talk privately?" "This way, Doc." I took him to the cave. "Other than her strange facial appearance, unusual skull shape, and somewhat disproportionately small feet she seems perfectly normal." He paused for a moment, this is never good. "Her birth canal does seem somewhat larger than I'd expect for a virgin. She is a virgin, right?" "As far as I know, I don't know if someone took 'er for a test drive before I got her." "You seem rather flippant about that, Michael." "I've never had a taste for virginity, they usually don't know what they're doing. But she has my memories in there, so I think she'll be well versed in that department."

I suspected the birth canal thing, that's the reason for my own personal upgrade, parts with a matching fit, plus birthing would be easier. A desirable trait when you want to make as many babies as possible. This has been the curse of women for ever. Hopefully we'll help to breed that awful trait out, it seems so illogical to me that creatures of nature have little trouble giving birth, while human females try to squeeze a bowling ball thru a garden hose. But the clue that provided was the scariest of them all. When we got to the new world, we would be on our own. The technology would leave with the Masters. We are currently ill prepared for a life without technology. Somebody will have to have a plan. There are some other possibilities here. We're both big headed people. Those big eyes need a big skull to fit into, and would need a larger passage to fit through. Or is a bigger passage needed for some hideous monster to make it's way thru? I keep having images of a Xenomorph ripping it's way thru her belly just before it consumes us both. I really hope the Masters reveal themselves before we start having children.

"Still, she's quite healthy, you said they wanted to have her wait a few weeks before she uses her arm fully?" "Yea, that's the message I got from Olaf. I'm not taking any chances with her, I'd hate for her new arm to pop out." "The speed at which that graft healed is amazing, I hope they share that technology with us some day." "Me too, Doc. But we should assume that once we reach the home world, we're on our own." "Agreed,... OK Michael, I'm on my way home, It has been a pleasure, although Anna could use some restraint, I nearly broke my fingers." "Sorry about that Doc, there's still some child in there." "Tell me about it,... good day, and peace be with you." "See ya, Doc. And thanks again." Hmmm, no surprises here, and only one ominous clue. It was time to meet with the other Hybrides and whatever name the Earthling women came up with for their men. I'm really not looking forward to this.
