baby pile

clucky family fluff!

It’s Vi who arrives first at their bedside. Her whimpers waking Clyde up in a jolt and startled snort. He blinks away the sleep from his eyes and scoops the anxious three year old into his arms.

“Storm scary.” Vi hiccups. Her round cheeks are wet with tears and Clyde feels her trembling against his chest. It’s then that he finally notices the flashing lightning outside with hard thunder crashing soon after.

He smiled tiredly and presses a kiss to her head. “It’ll be okay, princess.” He murmurs as he lays down. Vi keeps herself against his chest, her fingers gripping tight to his shirt. 

It only takes a few minutes for Clyde to soothe Vi into a light sleep by humming her favorite songs, and rubbing her small back, and it only takes a few seconds for him to follow as well.

“Mommy.”

Lucky’s eyes flutter before they open to see Bear’s face inches away. His blue eyes wide in the bright glare of lightning. Lucky says nothing and scoots back enough for him to crawl into bed. Bear doesn’t hesitate, snuggling right against her side.

“Is it bad?” He asks in a nervous whisper. Lucky keeps her eyes shut, shaking her head.

“No, Cubbybear.” She hums. “I kept an eye on it earlier, no potential for anythin’ too severe. Just thunder, lightinin’ and rain.” She assures, her fingers brush into his hair, moving in tender strokes. Bear closes his eyes and tries to drown out the storm. Being close to his mom and hearing her talk about how it would pass over them and the thought of all the mud puddles there’d be tomorrow helped lull him to sleep.

There’s careful tugging at the quilt and a quiet argument. Both Clyde and Lucky open their eyes in time to see Jojo’s head duck under the covers and two lumps waddle their way up the. 

Clark pokes his head out. He says nothing but wraps his arms around Lucky’s and curls up. Jojo instantly finds her place in the open space beside her father when Clyde opens an arm to her.

Over their children’s heads Clyde and Lucky smile to each other. Knowing full well they’d wake up to black and blues from kicking legs and jabbing elbows, maybe even find a foot in their face. But it’s nothing they haven’t dealt with before, and would always be happy to do again.

It takes a while for the storm to pass by. But not long at all for them all to have a peaceful sleep.

a small father’s day thing, sorta continuing from this cause i am THAT nerd

Clyde can barely get a word out before Clark shoves a cupcake against his mouth. Behind him, Jojo is gripping onto his shoulders, bouncing on the back of the chair. 

“Daddy!” She whines with a huff. “Bear is wasting all the frosting!” She points to her little brother. She was right. Across the table, Bear scoops another giant spoonful of purple frosting, shoving it into his mouth.

Clyde wipes frosting from his own mouth, gently catching Clark’s hand as he goes to feed him another cupcake. “Daddy’s had enough, Clarky.” He says, before turning his head to look at his daughter. “I know, I’m going to get-” the rest of his words fall into a wheeze when Jojo nearly falls, her arms latching around his neck to balance herself.

“You hurting daddy!” Bear yells. “Stop!” 

Clark climbs up onto Clyde’s lap as Jojo drops her hold, and presses the cupcake to his mouth again. “Eat, daddy! They’re yummy!” He smiles. Clyde feels frosting practically going up his nose. 

“Hey! I have an idea.” Clyde starts “Why don’t we share all this with mommy? Luuuuucks!” He calls.

Lucky appears in the door way, gently cradling Vi in her arms. “Havin’ fun y’all?” She asks, looking to each of her children before smirking in her husband’s direction. “With your daddy on Father’s Day?”

The looks Clyde gave her could have been more menacing if it hadn’t been for the mess of frosting on his face. “Why don’t you join us?” He asks hopefully. Bear comes over, climbing up onto Clyde’s lap to join his brother as Jojo hops back onto the chair, patting her father’s head. 

Lucky shakes her head. “Nuh uh. The kids wanna make cupcakes with you for Father’s Day, who am I to get between that?” She asks. 

“Is this payback for Mother’s-”

“Yes.”

just a tiny drabble for mom’s day, feat lucky and her bbys, no read more cause mobile!

Lucky is thankful they invested in a queen sized bed. Jojo and Clark both cuddled to her sides, while Bear laid against her chest. On the other side of the bed, Clyde holds a sleeping four month old Vivienne, practically dozing off himself.

All their bellies are full of breakfast, and there’s messy finger-painting and other homemade craft gifts and the food of the bed.

On the TV Dukes of Hazzard plays. It was a tradition that’s been going on since Jojo was born. Every mother’s day had a midmorning breakfast, in bed, and an all day Dukes marathon.

Jojo presses a kiss to Lucky’s cheek, smiling. “I super love you, mommy.” She says.

Before Lucky gets a chance to answer Clark is looking at them. Almost offended.

“I love you super more!” He declares, his tiny arms coming to hug around her neck. Jojo frowns.

“Aw, baby stars-“ Lucky gets out before letting out an ‘oof!’ when Bear flips over and sits on her stomach.

“No!” He says loudly. “I love mommy! Me!” He falls forward, crashing into a hug with Lucky. Lucky soon finds herself under a dog pile of her children, all arguing. She can barely see her husband as he silently gets up, moving Vivienne out of the line of fire.

“Where are ya goin’?” Lucky demands, squirming around, tickling Clark, making him fall back giggling. “It’s Mother’s Day! Ya can’t leave me!”

“Exactly.” Clyde nods. “It’s Mother’s Day. They’re showing their love.” He finishes with a grin.

Lucky huffs, scooping Bear into her arms as a laughing Jojo jumps on her back. “I’ll be sure to tell ya the same on Father’s Day!”
