What if Shaun was toddler? Do you have any headcanons on what it's like for companions dealing with a baby waddling around the settlement when sole is gone?
i took a guess of toddler shaun being around a year old and i had way too much fun with this request. thanks for this anon!
terrible with children tbh, but she tries her best
panics whenever he starts to cry
extremely thankful when sole comes back and shaun’s in one piece
absolutely amazing with young kids
he was made for that after all!
shaun’s diaper is always changed and he’s always well fed.
always in bed by his bedtime
sole is very happy with him when they come back
very good with toddler shaun
like codsworth, she makes sure he’s on a strict schedule
if human she’ll take him for walks and give him piggy back rides.
baby proofs sole’s house in the process of watching him.
not the best with shaun, but he really does try
feeds him way too many snack cakes
running after the kid 24/7
sole comes home to find them both passed out on the couch
loves spending time with toddler shaun
pretty much that one cool uncle that all kids like
spoils the shit out of young shaun
lets him stay up until whenever he wants
doesn’t really watch shaun, but he helps out the other companions
will retrieve anything that shaun needs
shares his favorite teddy bear
loves to cuddle with little shaun
he was super scared that shaun would be afraid of him
(shaun actually loves him)
lets him play with his hat
when shaun finally says hancock he melts
a surprisingly good babysitter
being a dad to duncan already makes him great babysitting material
also lets the toddler play with his hat
reads shaun some of his favorite comics
wraps shaun in his coat if it’s cold
the both of the also fall asleep together on the couch
almost drops shaun when he tries to touch his exposed wires
makes sure he doesn’t smoke around little shaun
takes him for walks around the settlement
buys him way too many toys
reads him plenty of bed time stories. she wrote half of them
knows how to take care of young kids from her experience with nat
definitely, asks sole if she could watch him again
loves to cuddle with shaun
sews him a mini minuteman uniform. cutest thing ever tbh
presents the mini-minuteman to sole when they get back
tempted to just use his recall code but he doesn’t
finds out the kid is actually very interesting
