🖤❤ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐇𝐂𝐬 (𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤)
Day two of special event week and another headcanons, this time with our guys from The Bad Batch as dads. Honestly, I enjoy writing headcanons; it's pretty great.
I currently have four requests in my inbox, but I'm afraid I'll only be able to manage what I'm writing today. I have work until 2 p.m., and then I have a long nap until 6 or 7 p.m. But I'll see if I can write anything else.
⚠️ pure fluff 🥰

▪️Hunter is pure father material. Just look at his relationship with Omega on the show. He could be the best protective rather ever.
▪️His enhanced senses mean he notices absolutely everything.
▪️He knows when the baby wakes up before the monitor makes a sound. He notices when they're getting sick. He can tell if they're sad, scared, or hiding something.
▪️He's the father that always carries his child on his shoulders during festivals or family trips.
▪️Hunter is also incredibly patient.
▪️If his child has nightmares, he'll stay by the bed until they fall asleep again.
"There's nothing in this galaxy that could ever hurt you while I'm here."
▪️He's very involved in raising his children:
- helping with homework
- teaching survival skills
- family camping trips
- bedtime stories
▪️His children grow up feeling completely safe because Dad always knows what to do.

▪️Wrecker is the fun dad.
▪️The second his child asks:
"Dad, can we play?"
▪️The answer is always yes.
▪️Pillow forts.
▪️Snowball fights.
▪️Building giant toy castles.
▪️Carrying his kids on his shoulders.
▪️He somehow turns grocery shopping into an adventure.
▪️He's also the world's biggest teddy bear.
▪️His children climb all over him while he laughs.
▪️He gives the best hugs.
▪️He loves movie nights where everyone falls asleep piled together on the couch.
▪️But if someone ever hurts his child...
▪️That warm smile disappears instantly.
▪️Nobody messes with Wrecker's family.
▪️Nobody.

▪️Tech approaches fatherhood... scientifically.
▪️Before the baby is even born, he has probably read hundreds of parenting books.
▪️He tracks sleeping schedules.
▪️He researches healthy nutrition.
▪️He builds little gadgets to make life easier.
▪️A custom baby monitor? Already made.
▪️Educational toys? Designed by him.
▪️His children absolutely love asking questions because Tech never says,
"Because I said so."
▪️Instead, he'll spend an hour explaining how stars work or why rain falls.
▪️He encourages curiosity.
▪️Family museum trips become normal.
▪️He also has endless patience for teaching.
▪️And while he sometimes struggles to express emotions directly, his children always know he loves them.
▪️Because every invention, every project, and every lesson is made with them in mind.

▪️Crosshair never expected to become a father. Duh, he would never thought he will be a parent.
▪️And at first... He's absolutely terrified.
What if he isn't good enough?
What if he will hurt his child?
What if his child would hate him?
▪️The answer comes surprisingly quickly.
▪️The baby grabs one of his fingers and refuses to let go.
▪️From that moment on, he's completely wrapped around their tiny hand.
▪️Crosshair is the quiet dad.
▪️He won't constantly say "I love you."
▪️Instead, he shows it.
▪️He waits outside school to pick them up.
▪️He remembers their favorite snacks.
▪️He fixes broken toys without saying a word.
▪️He's especially protective of shy children because he understands what it's like to feel different.
▪️Late at night, he'll sit beside a sleeping child and quietly think:
"I would give up everything for you."

▪️Echo sometimes worries that his cybernetics might make him a bad father.
▪️They don't.
▪️In fact, they make him even more determined to be the best dad possible.
▪️Echo is incredibly gentle with babies.
▪️He learns everything:
- how to feed them
- how to change diapers
- first aid
- the best lullabies
▪️He secretly reads parenting holobooks because he wants to get everything right.
▪️He's also the homework dad.
▪️Math? Science? History?
▪️Echo is helping.
▪️His children admire him because he always listens to their problems seriously.
▪️He teaches them that asking for help isn't weakness.
▪️After everything he survived, Echo wants his family to know one thing:
▪️They are loved exactly as they are.
