Cole looking through the five inch binder of adoption papers etc. Gabriel kept: wow I can't believe you kept everything even your emails to the social worker

Gabriel: of course I did, thought it would be important or mean something to you later

Cole: this was a lot of work you and Jack went through just for me

Gabriel:I promise you it was worth every second of it

Cole pulling out something: hey what's this?

Gabriel: oh we had to write to the social worker talking about our family and background and explaining why we wanted to adopt

Cole reading Gabriel's: oh that's so sweet *Gabriel's letter is written similar to a journal entry talking about growing up with several sisters and always wanted to be a parent, specifically how he wanted to adopt* Pa, I'm going to cry

Cole moving on to Jack's: what'd Dad write? *Jack's is formatted almost like a business resume and is even in third person* oh my fucking God he wrote this like a resume!!

Jack indignantly: well it was kind of like I was applying to be a parent!

Cole continuing to cackle: it's in third person!

Jack: it's how I organized my thoughts best!

Cole now literally rolling on the floor: I've already found a typo on the first page!!

Jack, reading a text from Ana: Wow, one of the agents is getting Rein to launch them in the sky to see if they can touch a cloud.

Gabe, snorts: What a dumbass.

(In the distance)

Jesse: Okay Rein, count of three!

Jack and Gabe, full SEP sprints: Shit that’s our dumbass!!

I know everyone jokes that Gabriel made Cole his cowboy outfit but Gabriel made Cole’s blackwatch uniform

Jack comes to see Cole off on his first mission and he’s standing next to Gabriel in a black Stetson, serape, and cowboy boots with spurs

And Jack just straight up facepalms

Gabriel just shrugs because they both know he can’t deny indulging Cole

Jack calms himself down by telling himself it’s just a phase and Cole will grow out of it

Jack is wrong

Happy Father’s Day to Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes

Long-standing birb AU

Jack is a falcon and one day he decides he’s going to rest overnight in an abandoned barn, so he goes to make himself comfortable in the only corner that doesn’t have roof or wall planks missing only to discover an unattended nest with several different sized eggs in it

Suddenly there’s an angry screech behind him and that’s the only warning he gets before a gigantic barn owl comes for his head

Quickly retreating Jack flys to a different part of the loft and watches as the barn owl settles himself protectively over the nest, staring Jack down as if daring him to come over to the nest again

Through the next few days Jack brings the owl mice and other small creatures he caught, it starts as an apology to show he didn’t mean to come so close to the nest but he keeps it up because he doesn’t like the idea of the owl having to leave the nest unattended to hunt for food

The owl (Gabriel) is smitten with Jack’s courting gifts and soon lets Jack roost next to him at night

Eventually they move to make the nest bigger and they take turns warming the eggs

They end up hatching a blue jay (Hanzo), a cardinal (Cole), a goldfinch (Angela), a sparrow (Genji), a starling (Satya), a mocking bird (Amelie), a chickadee (Tracer), a raven (Sombra), and a hummingbird (Hana).

Yes Gabriel and Jack getting Father’s Day cards from all the kids is cute and all

But also

The kids trying to organize something special for them like a family dinner/cookout but it being predictably disastrous because they keep getting into fights

Jack and Gabriel come back to an explosion in the kitchen because Cole and Fareeha kept fighting over who got to bake the cake and they forgot both the baking powder and soda, Genji was supposed to be in charge of setting the timer and let it burn, Angela and Hana were in charge of decorating but got into an argument over the colors to pick and came back without napkins and plates, sombra didn’t help at all the little shit because she knew things were going to end up in flames and didn’t want to put her name on it, Lucio was supposed to help but got distracted with a happy father’s day song he was thinking about and left halfway through

Ana had Athena warn them what they were about to walk into so Gabriel didn’t have a nervous breakdown about the kitchen being destroyed

Everyone helped clean up (even Sombra was guilted into it) and Jack grilled some hotdogs, Gabriel made churros because he bakes to calm himself down and they make the kids promise to do something different for next year

Post OW2 reunion Jack comes home to find a snuggle fest in his bed of Cole, Genji, Sombra, Amelie, and Fareeha all cuddling with Gabriel. He sighs and tries to scooch his way in
