"He's perfect." Dawn smiled at the small bundle in her arms, "Thank you Mother Earth for the safe arrival of our son."
Her partner smiled at his wife and son, "What do you wanna name him?" Scott rubbed his neck, his dark blue eyes gazing lovingly at Dawn, who smiled sheepishly.
Kissing the top of the baby's head, "I was thinking Keith." She whispered against her son's red hair.
"After my Pappy?"
Dawn nodded, smiling when she remembered first meeting the old man.
"Yo Pappy!" Scott called out from the front door, "You in there?"
"I'm in here, boy!" Came the response from inside the house, "What now?!" The old man came hobbling around the corner, his red hair slowly greying, though his green eyes still shined brightly. Seeing Dawn standing behind Scott his lips made an 'o' shape and he quickly smiled, "Well are ya gonna bring her in, Scotty?"
Laughing at his father, Scott led Dawn inside the old farm house, "Dawn, meet my pappy, Keith."
"Eh! Just call me 'Pappy.'" The old man waved her off, smiling at her.
Smirking at how well his girlfriend and father was getting along Scott cleared his throat, "Pappy, meet my girlfriend, Dawn."
Blushing the slightest, Dawn wrapped an arm around Scott, "It is very nice to meet you, sir. Your aura is a dark blue colour, meaning you fear the future." Dawn mused, looking at the older man.
"Aura eh?" Keith looked pass her with a raised eyebrow at Scott who shrugged and looked away, spotting his sister. Alberta.
"Hey Alberta! Come and meet your sister in-law!" Keith called out, spotting his daughter who rolled her eyes and stalked down the stairs.
The red headed woman rolled her eyes and walked to Dawn, grabbing her hand and shaking it with disinterest, "Hey, I'm Alberta, welcome to the family, you and Scott are gonna have cute kids. Bye." Alberta rolled her eyes and walked back up the stairs.
Dawn blinked, "Well that was interesting."
"Tell me about it," Scott wrapped his arms around Dawn's waist.
Now Dawn sat in the hospital, holding her son while Scott sat next to her, gazing at the tiny baby, who was snuggled up against her chest, "He looks my like my side of the family," Dawn mused, "With your hair."
Scott laughed, "Yeah, it's a pretty strong gene, Moonbeam."
Dawn just smiled, and offered the baby to Scott, who looked scared, "Want to hold him?"
"No, I might drop him-"
Dawn laughed, "You won't. Now grab your son." She quickly placed the baby in her partner's arms, smiling at him, "There, just support his neck and hold him."
Scott stared at his son, who was wriggling around, "Now stay still ya little rat," Laughing at how the baby stopped moving and opened his eyes, which were a dark blue, "I'm your daddy and if anyone hurts ya then they'll have to see to me." Scott smiled at his son, "Ya got that Keith?"
Hearing a knock at the door, Scott quickly gave his son to Dawn, who welcomed the baby with open arms. Watching Scott get up Dawn smiled when her brother, Paul, who was with their mother, who glared at Scott.
"Hey sis!" Paul walked over, placing the stuffed bear on the table, "So where's my little neph?" Paul kissed Dawn's cheek before looking over at his nephew.
Dawn smiled at her family, "Paul, meet Keith, my son." She held her son up so her mother and brother could see, frowning when her mother looked at him in distaste, "Mother? What's wrong? Your aura is dark green, are you jealous?"
Her mother turned up her nose at her, "I'm not jealous, just disappointed." It was no lie that Dawn's mother hated her for starting a relationship with Scott, or as she said Dirt Boy, the older woman was furious, much to Dawn's confusion, when Dawn told her she was pregnant, "I mean it's bad enough that the baby has his hair colour, but now your naming him after his father? Why not name him after your father?"
"Bad enough?!" Scott stood up, pointing a finger at Dawn's mother, "Look Hayley! I have no problem with ya but if your gonna come in and act like this then you should just leave! I'm sick to death of you coming around looking down on my family just because we live on a farm! And it was Dawn's choice to name the kid Keith, I'm sure my pappy will be honoured to have our son named after him!"
"Scott, all this negative energy is making the baby upset." Dawn whispered, placing a hand on Scott's arm, while gently putting the baby back to sleep, "Mother, I chose Scott's father because he was there for me when mine wasn't. Now if you'll excuse me then my family need their rest. Thank you Paul, you should visit again tomorrow, your welcomed to join mother but not if your going to act like this."
"I won't," Dawn's mother sneered at her before walking out, slamming the door behind her.
Paul looked at his sister, who looked like she was about cry, "I'm sorry, sis. She'll come around, just wait and see." Hugging her one last time he walked out the door, shaking Scott's hand and smiling sadly.
Once her family was out of the room, Dawn started crying, "Why do she hate me so much?"
Scott was quick to comfort her, taking the sleeping baby and putting him in his crib, he wrapped his arms around the upset Dawn, "Shhh, Moonbeam, she doesn't hate you, she hates me." He gently rubbed his partner's back, whispering words of comfort while she cried into his chest.
"It's bad enough my father left, but now my mother? Oh Scott, what have I done wrong?"
Scott wanted nothing more than to run out the door, track down Dawn's mother and kill her for making his Moonbeam upset, but instead held her closer, giving her the comfort she needed.
~O~
So I ship this, really hard and couldn't resist to write this! So it'd probably just be one shots or drabbles about Scott, Dawn and their baby, Keith and any other children they have.
