I Own Nothing
AN: I couldn't resist writing this for Father's day for Thiam because they really deserve one.
AN2: Also I didn't realize it at first until was going back, but Stiles Lydia's daughter has the same name as Ariel's daughter from the Little Mermaid. Lydia at one time when she was little had only wanted to be called Ariel. Hope the names of Liam/Theo's children are liked. I couldn't resist having them named that either.
AN3: This could also work for Thiam day 4 as well, but I got another story for that day so wanted to put this out now.
Title: Happy Daddy, Dad Day
Characters: Liam/Theo
Summary: It's Father's day and Liam/Theo's daughters want to make their dads' day special. It's also special for another reason. Hope you enjoy.
Liam could hear the sound of laughter as he came down the stairs. He was half asleep, but the smell of whatever Theo was cooking had woken him up. He got in the kitchen finding it looking like a tornado and hurricane both had hit it. Their twin four year old girls Gabrielle and Tara were sitting on the kitchen island with a bowl each in their little laps stirring something. Theo was at the stove frying what smelt like bacon and sausage too. The girls were far enough from the pan that they couldn't be splashed with grease.
Liam also noticed that the portable crib was next to the table. Their three day old son, Brett was sound asleep. He didn't know how in the world it was possible with all the noise in the kitchen. Nevertheless, Brett was sleeping away looking all snuggly with his clothes fitting just right. Liam smiled taking in everything that was going on. It wasn't normal for anyone to be up this early on a Sunday morning. Usually Theo was just going to bed if it was the Sunday after he'd had to work at the hospital the night before. However, the circle on the calendar told him that it wasn't a normal Sunday.
It was Father's day or as their girls always said Daddy, Dad Day. That was what Theo and he were to their kids. He was daddy and Theo was dad unless they were in trouble then Theo became Daddy too. Brett was too little to talk yet, but he knew he would be calling them the same if not reversed. Liam checked on Brett since he hadn't been spotted yet. Their youngest child was wearing an 'I'm Daddies Little Man' shirt that was blue. Theo had put a pair of shorts that had lacrosse written on them He had gotten some plain shorts and iron on letters making the word. Lacr was on one side and osse was on the other short leg.
Liam wanted to pick him up and just hug him, but Brett looked so adorable sleeping he didn't. He did pull his phone out taking a picture wanting to have as many of their kids as he could. He shouldn't be too surprised by the fact he was sleeping away both Theo and him could sleep soundly anywhere too. It hadn't always been like that for either of them, but for the last seven years that was how it had been. Six years of marriage and a year of dating had them knowing each other inside and out. Theo was a resident at Beacon Hills Memorial right now, but in another year and a half he'd be a doctor. He had gone with working there so there would be another doctor to help with the supernatural.

Liam had opted for being a History teacher at the same high school he had gone to. He had worked in LA until that year though as Theo had been going to college there. They had a house close to his parents, but with enough houses between not to be a next door neighbor. It had a nice backyard that was full of different types of toys lying all over the place. There was a play house for the twins and a tree for when they were older and wanted a tree house built. It was a great life and even though they had to deal with the supernatural it wasn't as bad as it used to be.
Monroe had been taken down two years before by Chris Argent, who was now married to Scott's mom. They made a great team together when they had to fight something. Scott had moved back a month or so back helping Deaton out. If one couldn't be there the other usually was. Stiles was acting as the FBI liaison for Beacon Hills on a permit bases with his own desk at the Sheriff station. It had been funny at first calling for both Stilinskis, but they had gone back to calling him Stiles or Agent Stiles.
Lydia and Stiles had a little girl named Melody who was the spitting image of her mom. Stiles was a great dad, slightly over protective even now with his daughter. Malia and Scott had a house close to his mom with a little boy and girl two years apart. Mason and Corey were also married with a little boy they had adopted. They all had families of their own now including Nolan who was with Alec. They had also adopted three siblings after their family had been killed by Monroe.
Liam was happy with his life with Theo because they knew each other inside out. It was why they had gone with the first names each had suggested for their kids. He had suggested Gabrielle because it was the girl form in a way for Gabe. That day in the hospital was the day that Liam had known Theo had really changed. He had taken Gabe's pain while he lay dying showing that he really did care. Theo had once told him that he'd seen his self in Gabe because he'd been doing what he had to make it out a live.
Tara of course after Theo's sister who they had placed a headstone at the bridge with her name on it. Liam had found out that Tara had been cremated, but Theo's parents had never gotten her remains. He thought it had been horrible thinking that she was still in the custody of the funeral home. Liam had gotten Stilinski to help him get Tara's remains back. They had scattered them at the creek on her birthday. They went there once a week and he knew that it didn't hurt Theo as much as it used to talking about his sister.
Theo was the one that had suggested Brett knowing how much Liam missed his friend. Liam really did miss Brett sometimes thinking how his life had ended too soon. Every year on Brett's birthday he went to the grave that the pack had made for him. Theo had replaced the plain marker with a headstone on Brett's first birthday he was gone. Liam had thought that Theo was going act like he had in the police station. Instead he had put it there before they had gone. Liam had been shocked.

"DADDY," Gabrielle and Tara yelled when they saw Liam.
They set the bowls down they had before scrambling off the kitchen island onto the chairs they used for a ladder. They rushed Liam wrapping their little arms around Liam who held his arms open for them. They all fell over however when the girls pretty much tackled him with their hug. Liam didn't care though laughing with them with one arm around each girl.
"Good morning to you two too," Liam said giving their noses a kiss. They sat up letting their daddy sit up, but not letting Liam go any farther. "You are all up early, what are you and your dad up to?" he asked.
"Dad said that today is Father's day again. So we wanted give our daddy and dad nice surprise. We just too little cook ourselves," Gabrielle said with Tara nodding her head vigorously agreeing with her sister.
"Yeah and dad said we were going wake you up in bed and you spoiled that," Tara added giving a pout, but she smiled a second later leaning into her daddy.
~LT TL LT TL~
Liam smiled at the girls giving them both another hug kissing the top of their heads. He looked up just in time for Theo to get a picture of the three of them in the floor. He shook his head, but smiled for the second one as the girls looked too. He knew there were going to be even more pictures as the day went on. He couldn't wait to get a few with all three of their kids and Theo. He was thankful everyday that he had resurrected his husband from the hell he had been in.
"I'm sorry I ruined the surprise, but it might be better to eat down here. After all the kitchen looks like it took a bath in flour," Liam joked. The girls got up and Theo pulled him out of the floor.
"It's waffle mix and it's what happened when two little girls tried using their kitten's claws to open the bag when they weren't patient enough," Theo explained before he kissed Liam. "Morning babe sleep well?" he asked going back to the stove.
He started making the waffles putting them in their waffle iron that made four large ones at once. He handed Liam the bowl with something else in it telling him to spoon some into the baking pan he had ready to go. Liam realized it was his red lobster biscuits and gladly spooned them onto the pan once he washed his hands. It didn't take as long with both Liam and Theo working in the kitchen. The girls were supervising sitting on the kitchen island again with their arms wrapped around each other. Tara was leaning her head against Gabrielle's shoulder.

"I slept really good last night. So good that I didn't even notice when you slipped out of bed," Liam said once the both batches of biscuits were in the oven.
"That was about five this morning, I fell asleep in the rocking chair with Brett," Theo replied.
He took the waffles out before telling Liam how the girls had come in the nursery at seven trying to surprise him. The girls reached behind them holding up the poster they still had showing it to their daddy as well. Liam was sure his face was going hurt later from smiling so much, but he couldn't help it. The poster was well done since both girls were good at drawing even at four. They had colored in Happy Daddy; Dad Day with what was their family including Brett.
"That is beautiful girls; did you have any help with it?" Liam asked being there was two d's in daddy and usually one or both forgot the second d in daddy. He'd been working with them for when they started school in the fall since it was right after they turned five.
"Uncle Mason and Corey helped us, we had wrote words first and left out a d again," Tara said biting her lip before giving the sad puppy dog face that Theo swore Liam still did.
"It's okay Tara, you did your best and that is what matters," Liam said going over to her. "The sign is wonderful and I would have loved it even if there was only one d there," he told her before giving her a hug.
~LT TL LT TL~
Once the food was done they all sat at the table with their plates loaded with what they wanted to eat. Liam had gotten waffles putting sausage and berries in between before adding chocolate syrup and redi wip. He got three of the biscuits as well enjoying how they tasted. Theo put his bacon on the biscuits, which Liam dubbed wrong. He didn't care though because it was how he liked eating them. He also got a few waffles and berries putting jelly and regular syrup on his waffles. The girls mirrored their dads with Tara copying Liam and Gabrielle claiming Theo's was the best way.
They ate breakfast talking about what they could do the rest of the day. It wasn't Theo's weekend to work so they didn't have to worry about him being called in. Even residents were forced to go in if something big happened. Although if something supernatural happened to come up Melissa would call him to help either way. Gabrielle wanted to watch movies before they went outside, but Tara wanted to do the opposite. It almost led to a fork going flying, but Theo took it before Tara threw it at her sister.
"What's the rule about throwing things at each other?" Theo asked giving his daughter a look.
Liam found it hard sometimes thinking that they were responsible for more than their selves. He loved watching Theo with their kids though. Especially when he was holding them in his arms, he had dozens of pictures like that with the twins. He was already going to start an album of them with Brett. It was funny when Theo was trying to be the parent who was disciplining the girls.
"We are not aloud to throw things when you or daddy is looking," Tara declared.
The answer got a laugh from Liam, who also got a look from his husband. It was funny though because he knew the girls did it all the time when they weren't looking. Liam had been woken up one Sunday morning by Gabrielle screaming. Apparently a piece of the doll house furniture had gotten thrown at Gabrielle's head by Tara. Tara had claimed that Gabrielle had thrown it at her to start with. He had put them both in time out since they were both yelling and screaming the other had done it. Tara giggled seeing her daddy laughing before giving another answer.
"We shouldn't throw anything at each other because we love each other no matter what," she sighed seeing if the answer was accepted.
"That's better, I still think your daddy's teaching you other things to say just to annoy me," Theo replied catching Liam smiling innocently. It was the same smile that both their girls gave when they were caught doing something they knew they shouldn't. Most of the time he was the one that they ran to when they got in trouble. Liam was only trying to protect them and he did try when he knew they would only hurt the other. Throwing a fork across the table was defiantly a no no even if he might have gotten one from Liam once.
"I would not do such a thing, would I girls?" Liam asked crossing his fingers behind his back coping his daughters. He really should be a little nicer today, but he was having fun.
Theo shook his head knowing full and well that Liam had his fingers crossed. If his husband said he would do no such thing, he had done exactly that. "Sure, just wait I'll get you back when you least expect it," he promised. "It could be while we're playing football tonight," Theo grinned.
"You wouldn't dare do that to me," Liam almost let out a growl.
"Can we play football dad?" Tara asked before Gabrielle told her football was stupid.
"Sorry girls you two can't play football," Theo said in a hurry. They said football as code for sex around the kids. He did not want his daughters getting any ideas this early in life.
~LT TL LT TL~
Once they finished breakfast they split up the tasks. Liam loaded the dishwasher since Theo had cooked with Gabrielle helping him. Theo went upstairs with Brett who had woken up just when they were done eating. Tara trailed after her dad once her daddy gave her the bottle to fed her little brother. The girls both helped out, which Liam was glad since he hadn't known if they would be happy having Brett around.
Both times they had gone with a surrogate letting her be implanted and thankfully they had no problems with the woman wanting to keep the baby afterwards. She was actually a wonderful woman, but she didn't want to anything more than an Aunt to the kids. Liam had met her their first year of college and they had been friends since then. There had been one time that Theo might have gotten unnecessarily jealous of Bridgett, but it had been worked out.
Liam and Gabrielle went upstairs getting dressed for the day in light clothes since it was hot outside. Liam wasn't really up for going outside, but it was climbing in heat and humidity. He had gotten the girls to agree to go outside for a little now then watch movies. He really didn't want to be outside if it reached a hundred. Being a werewolf made the heat that much worse since his body temperature already ran hot. Theo's went back and forth still and Liam knew it was from the time he had spent in hell. It might have been the ground, but the morgue drawers had felt real enough.
It had taken Theo a while to get over his fear of the hospital. However, Liam had helped him with that. His husband was going to be working in the same one he had been tortured in for months, which had been like years to him. It was the only time that Theo had punched him since the time at the zoo years ago. He had blind folded him asking him to trust him then made him lay down. The place he had gotten Theo to lay down in had been the drawer to the morgue cooler. He hadn't shut the door to it, but he had made Theo stay in there until he wasn't about to have a panic attack. He might have gone in with Theo lying on top of him even though it had been crowded.
It might have seemed extreme to someone else, but Theo had done the same damn thing to him with the zoo. They had gone back to the place after the hunters were gone and the Anuk-ite had been defeated. They had ended up having sex in the same cage that Brett had attacked him and he had almost killed Nolan. He did almost the same thing to Theo once he had stopped panicking. The punch had come after Theo thanked him for the help, but promised to kick his ass if he ever did it again. They defiantly handled things differently than most, but they loved each other enough to make the others fears go away.
~LT TL LT TL~
Liam walked into the nursery finding Theo sitting in the rocking chair holding Brett in his arms. Their son had his little hands on the bottle that he was drinking from, but Theo had a firm grip on it too. Liam took a picture of them managing to get Brett to turn his eyes towards him as well. It was something that Gabrielle and Tara had never wanted to do. It had been a down right challenge in getting a photo of them until they were three.
"You are so hot holding our little man. Makes me want to do a few really naughty things that are unspeakable near the kids," Liam said settling for kissing Theo.
"It's a good thing that we're guys or I think one of us would be knocked up all the time," Theo joked before they kissed again. The girls making kissing sounds laughing before they saw a flash. They looked up and Gabrielle had her dad's phone getting her daddies and little brother. "I think she's going to be a photographer when she grows up. She's obsessed like you with taking pictures," he smiled before there was another flash this time with Tara sitting between Theo's feet.
"Here let me set the timer and prop it up so we can all get in the picture," Liam offered in which his daughter accepted.
It took about a minute to get in place and set the phone where it could get a good shot. They had moved to the couch that was in the nursery. It had been in the guest bedroom, but they had moved it into the nursery for a place to sit besides the rocking chair. It had defiantly come in handy the first night they had brought Brett home. Brett hadn't wanted to sleep at all, but Liam had laid down on the couch that pulled out into a bed cradling his son in his arms.
Theo had laid beside him mirroring him, but facing him. They had used the swaddle like blanket and when all else had failed they made a light howling noise. It had been the only way to get Tara to sleep the first two months of her life. Gabrielle had been out like a light every night, but not her twin. Brett had fallen asleep after a few minutes once they had howled him to sleep together. Right now it was in handy again with Tara and Gabrielle sitting in the middle on the couch. Gabrielle was holding Tara in her lap with their heads side by side with their dads on each side of them. Theo had Brett in his arms leaning in as close as he could to the girls. Liam was doing the same on the other side. The phone flashed taking their picture as a family.
