Can i have some dad gordon and james moment i had no in valentines Day I'm so sad i want something cute 🥺 pretty please ~

James had a really bad accident at some point and was too anxious and in pain to sleep alone in the steamworks. Gordon sat by him all night. Too anxious and wired to sleep at all. Not letting anyone except Victor near him.

Sick

I imagine Benrey had never gotten sick before he left black mesa. Xen doesn’t seem like the place to have many diseases, only really deadly predators. Some human sicknesses he is immune to, but the ones he can catch are amplified by 1 million. 

Since he never saw someone sick before, when he first got the flu after leaving black mesa he thought he did something wrong. He didn’t want to tell Gordon what was going on because he didn’t want to get in trouble, so he tried to hide it and ended up getting worse because of it. Gordon was suspicious about how he was acting, more quiet and a lot more jumpy then usual. He wasn’t eating much, and even though he tried to hide it he was shaking badly. It looked like he was hiding something, and due to the past he assumed he had destroyed something or hurt someone. 

The secret was out when Gordon was awoken at 12 am by his roommate hurling in the bathroom. He pieced it together from there and was relieved but felt bad that he had assumed the worse. Said relief was immediately replaced with intense concern that this small alien boyfriend was vomiting his weight in sludge into the toilet.

Like Father, Like Daughter

For @lenna-z who wanted more Piper and Gordon and @godsliltippy who put the idea in my head of Gordon teaching his kids all of his ocean knowledge! 💛💛

Extra source: Accidentally poked a jellyfish thinking it was a rock while walking my dog on a beach, never moved so fast in my life, found out that we do in fact get jellyfish in the UK.

 “Daddy! Daddy! Look!”

Gordon heard Pipers quick little footsteps on the wet sand and prepared himself to be presented with another pretty shell, or even a poor little hermit crab that she’d plucked from the side of a rock. He was surprised to have a bucket dropped down in front of him. Everything instinct in him sprang to alert.

“Did you catch a fish?!” He asked in disbelief.

“No Daddy! Don’t be silly!”

She palmed a loose lock of blonde hair out of her face, smearing sand across her forehead, only for it to fall straight back down. Gordon smiled reaching out to tuck it behind her ear.

“Oh, good…” He allowed himself a silent sigh of relief.

“It’s a jellyfish!” She beamed proudly, kneeling beside the bucket.

“It’s a what?!” Gordon immediately pulled the seven year old to her feet and checked her over frantically. “Are you okay? Did it sting you?! What a stupid question! You wouldn’t have been able to get over here if it stung you.” He rambled to himself for another minute before calming down and hugging her close.

Piper giggled. “Silly Daddy. I’m okay! Look at the jelly!” She removed herself from his embrace and kneeled back down next to the bucket, pulling on Gordons hand for him to do the same.

Noting that this situation was definitely somehow his fault Gordon had the realisation that he probably owed his three older brothers, Dad, and Grandma an apology complete with cake, Gordon sat down with Piper and her bucket.

Sure enough, floating about in the yellow plastic bucket was a small moon jellyfish.

Okay, the fact that she’s caught an actual jellyfish might be cool but it’s time to be the responsible parent Gordon, go. “Where did the jellyfish come from angelfish?”

“It was in the sea!” Piper pointed back in the direction she had come from.

“You scooped it out of the sea?”

“Yeah with my bucket! I didn’t touch it. We don’t touch jellyfish.” She shook her head vigorously.

“Good girl.” Gordon praised, though they probably did need to have a conversation about not abducting wildlife from the ocean at all.

“Tell me about the jellyfish Daddy!” she copied him and sat cross legged, waiting for him to start, while still peering into the bucket.

“This particular little jellyfish is called a moon jellyfish, Aurelia aurita…”

“Au-ray-lee-a au-ri-ta…” Piper repeated slowly.

“You got it!” Gordon grinned proudly. “They can be found all over the world, in all different oceans. You can identify them by the four circles in the bell.” He pointed them out, drawing a little circle in the air to match each one. Pipers stare alternated between him and the jellyfish, transfixed and hanging on his every word. “They’re not normally very much bigger than this little fella, and their tentacles are very delicate and small. Can you see them there?”

Gordon pointed to the fine, almost hair like tendrils on the edges of the main bell of the jellyfish, Piper nodded.

“Are they the stingy bits?” She pointed, eyes glued to the sea creature now.

“Ordinarily yes, they would be. But these little guys don’t really have a sting on them that can affect us. You might just get a little bit of a tickle if they get you, but it won’t be anything bad like with the bigger jellyfish I told you about.” Piper nodded. “These guys are really common and you can usually see them all year round.”

“What do they eat?”

“I was just getting to that bit!” Gordon poked her in the stomach and Piper giggled, grinning up at him and Gordon couldn’t help but smile back. “For dinner this guy will be having a feast of plankton, mollusks, some crustaceans and little fish.”

“He eats fishes?! How? He doesn’t have a mouth!”

“First, they sting them with their stingers, because they’re a lot more stingy to the little fish than they are to us, and then it gets stuck in the sticky mucus at the bottom of the main body bell. You with me so far?”

Piper nodded.

“Then they use something called their oral arms to move the food into their mouths so they can eat it.”

Piper crinkled her nose in a show of disgust. “Where are those?”

“All the way underneath, we can’t see them in your bucket. But if the little guy was in a glass tank swimming around we’d be able to see better.”

Piper was quiet and thoughtful for a moment.

“Can we keep it?”

“We don’t have a fish tank at home sweetheart.”

“Grandpa does.”

Gordon laughed, he really did owe Dad and Scott an apology. “No, we can’t it has to go back so it can go home to its family.”

“Oh, okay…”

“Plus, I don’t think Mommy would like it.”

Piper giggled. “Mummy, Daddy.” She corrected him.

He rolled his eyes but smiled. “Come on,” He picked up the bucket in one hand and held his other out for hers. “Let’s go put the little guy back so he can go home.”

Piper took his hand eagerly. “Okay Daddy.”

Dad Gordon: a collection

[hkpika07]

I’d love to see James stand up for Gordon against Spencer and afterward Gordon calms down his boy X3

I have posted about James standing up to Spencer. (Punching him) but I guess I never did show the aftermath.

Gordon is doing a parenting.

[hkpika07]

James and Gordon comfort please.

I've had so many train emotions.

Hehehwehhhh did you know. Did you that Dad Gordon has taken over my brain.
