❁ your pregnancy with Austin was completely unplanned
❁ you became pregnant in 2016, and your daughter was born in 2017
❁ Austin was terrified, to put it in simple terms, but he was ready to have a child with you
❁ Austin is also a girl dad, just like Jerry. I don’t make the rules sorry
❁ he helped deliver your daughter, and he got lightheaded from seeing her head come out of you (not that he told anyone, though)
❁ he refused to cry when he held her for the first time, but he crumbled when she opened her eyes and looked straight at him
❁ Austin buys the cutest and frilliest outfits for your daughter. he loves putting her in dresses and little shoes and putting bows in her hair when it’s long enough. now that she has long hair as a toddler, he braids her hair and does fun hairstyles with it
❁ when Austin gets the role of Elvis, the three of you pack up and move to Australia. by the time you move there, your daughter is old enough to walk and talk and understand basic things, so having her in a new place is interesting, to say the least
❁ “daddy, why did that man sound funny?” “when people sound different when they speak, it’s called an accent.” “oh. daddy, I want an accent!”
❁ taking your daughter to the beach was a normal occurrence back home, so she knows how to behave when you’re all able to go to the beach between filming
❁ but now that your daughter is old enough to wear proper bathing suits, Austin, of course, has the get the girliest one ever
❁ raising a toddler to be a functioning member of society when the world has shut down is challenging, and adding onto one parent doing method acting and being super busy 24/7 adds to the difficulty.
❁ Austin still did his best to be there for your daughter, especially when everything she’s just grown accustomed to has now changed for who knows how long. he’s a very patient person, especially when it comes to children
❁ while in Australia, when Austin has any free time whatsoever, he’s teaching your daughter how to read and attempt to write, even if it’s just terrible scribble lines
❁ when your daughter turns 4, she can actually write her name somewhat, thanks to Austin’s hard work
❁ by the time filming ends and the pandemic isn’t as intense, your daughter can begin going to school when you get back to California. Austin refuses to send her to public school after what has been happening in the last year- he doesn’t think it’s as safe or suitable
❁ there’s a slight disagreement there at first, but you understand where he’s coming from and eventually agree to homeschool
❁ when Austin is struggling with his imposter syndrome after filming ends, and he’s getting back to who he is, your daughter is there to ground him
❁ Austin makes sure to introduce your daughter to different media like instruments, art, music, theater, sports, and more
❁ he wants her to explore everything so she can have social hobbies outside of homeschool and enjoy the finer things in life
❁ when Elvis premieres a little over a year after filming wraps, everything changes overnight for your family
❁ Austin makes sure to protect you and your daughter no matter what, even if his newfound fame has taken over your lives more than expected
