#we strapped the kiddo in the baby jogger

[aerodaltonimperial]

Since I'm not buying into my seasonal running challenge to save money, I set the goal I normally start it with (50km) in Runkeeper and figured it would be the same-ish motivation. I set the end date for the last day of the challenge (Oct 31). This week I ran 25km LMAO. I guess I need to get more ambitious with my goals.

What is this? 7 of 14 prompt requests for my follower celebration!

What is the prompt? “For your drabbles I got an idea from a video I saw where a dad shaved his beard and him and his wife do a face reveal for their toddler and the kid doesn’t recognize him and starts crying, it was the cutest thing. What if Poe and reader do something similar with their kid/s?” This was hella specific (which is all good, ILY) but I reinterpreted it a little- hope you enjoy and thanks for the request, Anon! 

Author’s note: This can be read as a sequel of sorts to Arrivals but can totally be read as a stand-alone. 

Summary: dad!Poe, husband!Poe, modern!Poe domestic cuteness.

Word count: 1977

Warnings: pregnancy, fluff, wifey  x hubby flirting and light sexual innuendos, and typos.

“I’m not ready to say goodbye. You’re really going to shave it off?” you ask, with a pet lip, as you run your fingers through your husband’s glorious salt and pepper beard one more time. “It’s just so hot. You look distinguished, like a... hot Duke or something.”

Poe’s eyes twinkle with amusement. “But you like me without a beard too, right?”

“You’re hot all the time. It’s infuriating, actually. Just maybe I’m gonna miss the tickle of your beard on my skin.”

“Between your thighs, you mean?” he teases, his voice a low rumble. It’s not meant to turn you on -his tone is light-hearted- but it does anyway.

“Maybe.” you sing-song, nipping your lip between your teeth.

“You’ve forgotten how much you liked my stubble grazing you there. I’ll be happy to remind you, sweetheart.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” you promise, hopping up on the counter as Poe continues his application of shaving cream and takes his shaving blade in hand.

Ok, maybe you could get used to him without a beard again. There’s something disconcertingly hot about watching him shirtless, shearing the stubble from his chiselled jaw. Something about the smoothness and then the roughness which follows. The smell of those lotions on his skin.

You watch him fondly for a while, careful not to distract him as he moves the blade precisely over the more sensitive contours of his neck. He hums as he does so and, you realise, you’re glad to be reminded of this morning ritual. You tune-in to what he’s humming, and smile as you realise he’s unconsciously humming the theme from your little one’s current cartoon of choice. This man can go from sinful to adorable in the bat of an eye. He really has it all.

“Do you think Juno will like your new face?” you ask, and Poe’s eyes soften immediately from the mere mention of your daughter.

“She’s been strongly encouraging me to shave it off. In fact, she keeps trying to yank my beard right off. Yesterday, she hated it so much she mushed porridge into it and it was stuck in there for hours.”

“Gross, Poe.” you chide and he throws you a feigned angry look. “What if she doesn’t recognise you?”

“What?!” your heart grows several sizes upon hearing how concerned Poe sounds at the suggestion. “She’ll know me, I’m her Papa!” it’s more of a plea than a statement of certainty. He drops the blade down, seeming as if he might halt right there and remain half-bearded if there’s even a slight possibility Juno wouldn’t recognise him.

“I’m sure she will, Poe.” You say, hopping down to rub circles into his shoulder blades. “Just don’t be surprised if she gets a shock when she wakes up, ok?”

Well now he looks more than a little glum. “Maybe I shouldda kept it.” He keeps going, the other side of his beard disappearing stroke-by-stroke. The only patch which remains sits on his top lip. “Should I keep this bit?”

You smile warmly at him in the mirror. “It’s gotta go, Poe. I can’t take you seriously with a moustache.”

“Do you ever take me seriously?”

You respond by giving his ass a squeeze through his relaxed joggers. “You’re seriously sexy.” 

He smiles and you think you might be distracting him a little too much now. “I’m gonna go start on the laundry. Come remind me what that handsome, cleanshaven face feels like when you’re ready, baby.”

You mosey out of the room, swaying your hips as you know he’ll be looking to catch a glimpse through the mirror. 

***

You are pottering in the utility room downstairs when you hear Juno’s cries from the bedroom. You keep an ear out, but you know Poe is up there and likely rushing to her. Still, you wander into the kitchen so that you’re on hand if you’re needed, and so you can greet them when they make their way down to you. 

The crying doesn’t subside and you get a little furrow in your brow. “Everything ok, honey?” you call up the stairs.

You look up at the mouth of the stairs with light concern, and you see Poe approaching across the landing, a bawling little poppet slung at his hip. Juno spots you and stretches her arms towards you with cries of “Mama! Mama!”.

Poe looks upset as he hands Juno over to you and you bundle her into your arms. You give her a gentle bounce on your hip. “Jungle ‘Juno’ Dameron. What’s got you so upset after your nap, huh?”

You look at Poe’s face and he is so distressed that it’s almost comical. You’re not sure who to comfort more - him or the child. “She doesn’t recognise me, honey.”

“Aww. Course she does. Don’t you Juno?” You rub you palm over Poe’s cheek, feeling the smooth skin and the sharp contours of his jaw. “Look Juno, it’s Daddy.” You give Poe a friendly kiss on the cheek. “We love Daddy, don’t we?”

Juno wrings her chubby little hands together, a tremble in her lip as she looks between the both of you, her cries having stopped but crystal ball tears still lingering on her cheeks.

He reaches out to Juno, brushing her tears away. “It’s me, baby.”

“Do the song she likes.” you nudge him, knowing she’ll respond to his familiar and soothing voice. He begins to sing to her and immediately, her face brightens. Although she still looks a little apprehensive, her cheeks apple with her gummy smile.

To your relief, Poe’s face brightens too and soon they are both smiling again.

Now that she’s settled, Juno wriggles against you and signals she wants to be put down. “Ok, baby girl. Shall we get some fresh air in the yard? Where’s Beebs?! Shall we go find Beebs?”

Juno claps her palms together and toddles in the direction of your yard. You follow closely behind her, momentarily confused as to why Poe isn’t following too.

“You coming hubster?”

“In a second. I just need to do something upstairs.” 

You shrug and tootle outside, perching yourself on your back step and smiling softly to yourself as Juno plays in the grass with Beebs at the end of your garden. You pick up the stuffed animal strewn on the patio by your feet -a blurrg Poe had custom-made for Juno’s birthday- and your smile spreads further as you give the ridiculous creature a little snuggle.

Eventually, you hear the approach of Poe’s footsteps through the kitchen and you turn to look up at him as he plants a warm, broad hand on your shoulder. Now you might actually be able to appreciate that clean-shaven face of his. 

You squeal as you turn towards him, however, and observe that he has something inexplicable and black and furry strapped across his chin.

“Woah.” You startle, pressing your palm over the shocked “o” of your lips before a hearty laugh filters through your fingers. 

“I made a beard.” he offers by way of explanation. “I did not like upsetting Juno.” He perches himself by your side on the step. You think he’s smirking beneath the monstrosity strapped to his face, crow’s feet radiating from around his eyes. “Do you think she’ll buy it?”

You laugh. You laugh at this ludicrous man. Your fingertips coming up to tug at... whatever this is. You see he’s been quite creative, hair ties hooking it around his ears.

“What is it?”

“Ok, don’t tell Juno.” he leans in to you as if confessing a secret, his voice dropped low. “I maybe cut up a stuffed animal from that sack of stuff destined for goodwill.” 

You feel overcome that he would do all of this, just so he didn’t upset her. Happy tears brim in your eyes at how loved your daughter is. You run a hand over his makeshift beard. “You are the sweetest man on earth, you know that?”

He gently presses a hand to your rounded, expanding belly. “Anything for my joint-favourite kiddo.” Your pending second child was about to be the joint-luckiest kiddo in the world, you could swear.

You look at him again in disbelief, so utterly wonderful and so utterly ridiculous. “Poe, you know you have a stuffed animal strapped to your face? This. This is one of the reasons people don’t take you seriously.”

“I thought I was seriously sexy.” he purrs, dipping his head towards you to steal a quick kiss from his wife while Juno is happily occupied.

The fibres of the fabric tickle at your nose.

“Just to be clear, honey. There’s no way you’re getting that beard between my thighs.”

You are joined in laughter until Poe’s attention is diverted by Juno making loud, nonsensical noises and tracking her way across the garden to you both. Her hands make a grabby motion as she toddles.

“I’ll take care of you later.” he promises, with a swift press of a kiss into your hair as he stands. “For now, let’s see if Juno recognises me again. I gotta be honest, it broke my kriffing heart when she didn’t know me.” you smile at his newly invented swear word to use around the little one.

You feel warm inside as he runs to Juno and lifts her in the air, joined in a happy moment as he aeroplanes his baby girl around in his arms, Beebs snapping joyously at his heels.

You reach for your camera phone. You must remember to take a video of him in that ludicrous beard. You don’t want to forget a single, silly, loving moment and you know it is impossible to capture them all. But this one? This one is far too good to let slide.

You stand and mosey down the garden, until you fold over with a jolt of discomfort in your belly. Poe catches it instantly and turns towards you. “Honey?”

“I wasn’t sure earlier. But now I’m pretty confident I’m having contractions. Pretty regular.”

His eyes scold you for not saying anything sooner but at the same time they are only full of love.

“It’s happening! Honey!” he looks like he might smile and cry and freak out all at once. He slings Juno on to his hip so he can wrap his other arm around you, his thoughts evidently going a mile a minute. “I’ll drop Juno next door with Finn until we can get hold of Grandma Leia and Grandpa Han. The bags are in the car. We can do this.”

You look at him in shock. “It’s happening. We’ve got to go. Meet our new baby.”

He presses a loving kiss to your lips, despite that infernal fake beard still adorning his jaw. “I love you so kriffing much,” he says, voice cracking with emotion, “and I’ll be right back. Call your mom, ok?”

He dashes through the yard and you call out to him. “Poe!”

He looks back at you over his shoulder.

“Take that thing off your face, or Finn and Rose will never let you hear the end of it.”

“There’s no time, sweetie! Plus, I wouldn’t want people to start taking me seriously.” He flashes you a grin before resuming his dash through the house.

You stand in the garden alone for a moment, saying softly to yourself. “I love you so much too, Poe Dameron.”

Then, you remember that you’re not quite alone as Beebs rubs up against your calf and yaps at you, as if to helpfully yank you from your slight panic and disbelief as the reality of the situation hits you. It does the job, and you remember suddenly that you need to call your mom, Leia.

When you look down at the phone in your hand, you’re delighted to see you never hit the button to end the video you were recording. You’ve captured that whole exchange.

Tears brim in your eyes, overwhelmed by the family you already have, and the family you’re about to have. You are so glad for every moment.

Looking after a baby can be tough work for many parents but having two of them could almost always mean twice the challenge. One of the things that parents worry about when having two small kids is how to make it possible to run errands or go around for casual walks or shopping.

Unlike regular strollers, this piece of equipment is designed to hold to growing babies and perhaps even more for their stuff and the parents’ stuff. Some are even strong enough to hold an additional load such as a small bag of groceries.

Baby Trend Sit N’ Stand Double

When it comes to double strollers, the Baby Trend Sit N Stand Double might just be considered the best double stroller with infant car seat, at least in our books.

Yes, it can accommodate two children of different ages but they are also perfect for kids of the same age (or nearly the same age aka Irish twins) and it grows with them, too. The good news is that this tandem stroller can fit two infant car seats at the same time, without any problem. You can interchange the way the passengers sit – with the older one in front or at the back, you only have to follow whatever arrangement they prefer best. The seat at the back can even be turned into a standing platform, perfect for preschoolers and school-aged children.

Another thing to love about this double baby stroller is that it comes with a huge storage basket making it perfect for grocery trips. If you only have one passenger with you, you can remove the seat at the back and turn it into extra storage. At just 33.1 pounds, this stroller is definitely among the lightest in the group considering that is packed heavy with features.

Did we mention that it comes with a huge and super convenient parent tray? Each seat is also equipped with child trays with a cup holder each.

There is nothing much we can say about this double stroller that will not make us want it. Its price is even quite inexpensive compared to other brands. For all these great things, we are putting the Baby Trend stroller on the top spot of our list.

Baby Jogger City Select

Yet another great stroller for infant and toddler is the Baby Jogger City Select.

With 16 different seating combinations to choose from, this is perhaps the most versatile of all twin strollers with car seats. You have both kids face front, face the parent or face each other – whatever position they want to ride in, it is totally possible.

While the City Select is not designed for jogging, it still provides a comfortable ride for everyone. It comes with 8-inch swivel front wheels that make it easy to maneuver or you can choose to lock it in place for long distance walks. Another plus point for the City Select is the huge UV 50+ sun canopy that provides more than ample protection for your little ones.

We truly think that this is the best double stroller for infant and toddler and is a great investment but the $600 price tag is quite a steep price. If you do not mind the price (it can be used up to five years so it is worth it in the long run), then go for it. The price tag, which is nearly three times that of the Baby Trend, is the biggest reason why it takes the second rank.

Joovy Scooter X2 Double Stroller

Joovy might just be the best double side by side stroller in the market today. The great thing is that even with the side by side design, it measures just 30 inches in width so it fits through most doors while still allowing ample space for its passengers inside. You no longer have to fold the stroller to get through narrow spaces because it can fit quite well.

What is so good about the Joovy Scooter? For one, it has bigger and better wheels with sealed bearings so your passengers can enjoy a smooth and enjoyable ride no matter the terrain. You can trust that the wheels can provide extra stability especially since you are pushing around two children. Aside from that, each seat in the Joovy Scooter works independently so you can put each kid on recline at different times, depending on their nap schedules and riding preferences. The 5-point safety harness ensures that your little ones stay securely strapped inside this stroller for twins but it also has a removable bumper bar for added protection. Did we mention that it comes with huge storage space and that it packs small?

There are just a few things we don’t quite like about this compact double stroller. For example, it wobbles slightly and leans toward the heavier side when the passengers are not of the same weight. The handlebars are also not adjustable and rather short at 41.75 inches and the weight is also a major issue. Thus, we will have to push the Joovy in the middle of the list, getting it to the third spot.

Chicco Cortina Together

Whatever seating arrangement your kids want – two car seats in, two children, an infant in front and a child at the back or vice versa – is possible with this best stroller for twins and siblings of different ages.

We love that its canopy provides ample amount of protection for its passengers, even with the car seats on. It also comes with huge amount of storage at the bottom thus it gets a big plus point from parents who frequent the groceries with their children.

Storage is quite easy through the one handed activation and self standing fold of this double baby stroller. However, at 34 pounds, it is among the bulkiest and heaviest double strollers in the market so lifting it to put inside the car trunk can be a challenge. Thankfully, it folds quite compactly so fitting it is not a problem.

​Another thing that we didn’t quite like about this stroller is that the front seat will not recline and so the passenger in front might have a hard time falling asleep when on the go. Maximum weight capacity may not be an issue but height capacity could be! Be sure to check your kids’ height first and compare it with what the Chicco Cortina can accommodate before making the purchase.

Other than these few cons about the Chicco Cortina, it is still a great product. However, other models do a better job than this one so it gets down to the fourth spot in our list.​

Delta Children LX Side by Side Tandem

If you are looking for a lightweight double stroller to use when running errands with your kids, this is the most recommended brand to use.

This cheap double stroller is pretty straightforward and does not have a lot of frills. For those going around on short trips that do not require bringing huge bags of shopping or other heavy loads, this is a great product to use.

For one, it doesn’t have enough storage, if at all, at the bottom. The canopy also uses the European design so it doesn’t really provide that much protection against the sun compared to the other brands. We highly recommend the Delta Children Side by Side Tandem for quick trips around the city or zoo that do not require a lot of stuff. This is even great if you decide to walk around Disneyland with your little ones.

This compact double stroller weighs only 23.5 pounds so you do not have to worry about pushing them around or folding them for storage. It is possible to do everything with one hand and you do not have to strain your back when trying to lift it into your car’s trunk. This lightweight tandem stroller is also perfect for travel as it can be gate checked due to its very simple and lightweight design.

However, if you are on who constantly uses their tandem strollers for running errands or going on long trips. It doesn’t have storage baskets underneath so you will have to hang your diaper bag on the handles (but make sure there are passengers inside to prevent it from toppling over) or wear it around your body.

This tandem stroller cannot be recommended for everyday use, only for short, quick trips, so we place this one at the fifth place on the list.​

FAQ (By Our Ardent Readers)

What is a Tandem Stroller? How is it different from a side by side stroller?  A Tandem is typically the same size as a single stroller where the children are sitting one behind the other unlike in side by side stroller where there are sitting next to each other.

Why do i need to buy a tandem stroller? A tandem is very useful if you have twins or kids who are just a few years apart. Also since it is not very wide you could navigate through doorways and narrow passageways very conveniently.

Is the tandem stroller very bulky? Some of them are moderately heavy. But most of the models are designed to be sturdy enough to be able to carry 2 kids and its belongings and as a bonus a small bag of groceries too. But not to worry as it is very easy to handle and move around with it.

Can i fix my infant car seat to my tandem stroller? Yes you can very conveniently or you can choose to have the normal seat which reclines back(though not fully flat) if your child is slightly older and is able to hold his head properly.

Can the car seat be fixed at both front and rear positions? Some models in the market do allow that,  but not all of them. It is always advisable to keep the little one close to you while the toddler is sitting in the front with unrestricted views.
