So I have heard rumours that lily has been replaced by a boy. I don’t know if this is true but if they want Seb to stick around then I guess they are going to have to change babies at some point. But I will be so sad when she leaves, she has been a great Seb and I will miss her. 💙
Lorna I am loving all the soft dad!robron fics so much! I'm sure you have a million prompts but I'm super curious to see Liv around Seb and how she would react to seeing Aaron in dad mode. Maybe it's a few months after robron have gotten back together?
Aaron noticed Liv was watching him long before she spoke. Things hadn’t been the best, with Liv lately, and they’d only really turned a corner now - a month to the wedding, four months after him and Robert had gotten back together.
Robert was out at the shops. They hadn’t any food in the house, and they’d flipped a coin for it, neither of them fancying a full family outing to Tesco, leaving Aaron home with Sebastian and Liv.
“How did you do it?”
Aaron looked up from where he was lying on the living room floor, chatting aimlessly to Sebastian as he did his afternoon round of tummy time, gurgling like mad. His stories, Robert would say with a grin, the two of them happy to play along and pretend like Seb was telling them the secrets of the universe.
“What do you mean?” Aaron asked, squinting at his sister. She was finally growing into sixteen, maturing in ways that astounded them both, Liv focused on school in a way she never had been before, her counselling paying off.
“How did you forgive him? How did you - how did you take on his son?”
Aaron looked at Sebastian, the boy giving him a gummy grin, and he felt his heart swell with love for the tiny human being on the floor in front of him. “I know - I know it might be hard to understand, Liv, but I love Robert, and Sebastian is part of him.”
“But -“
“I know how everything happened was awful,” Aaron interrupted gently. “But I tried not being with Robert, and it didn’t make me happy. The love I’ve got for him, it’s worth fighting for, Liv, I don’t know how else to explain it.”
“So you don’t see all the bad times, when you look at him?” Liv asked. She’d stayed as detached as possible from Sebastian, all these months, and they'd decided to give her time, and space.
It was a big change for them all, in the end.
“I see a kid who’s not to blame for what his parents did,” Aaron said, stroking a finger against Sebastian’s cheek. “I forgave Robert for the cheating a long time ago, you know. I just - I needed to figure out if I could forgive Seb too, I guess.”
“And you have?”
“I love him,” Aaron admitted, enjoying Sebastian’s delighted gurgle as Aaron bopped his giraffe toy against his nose. “I love him, and I love being his dad, and I’m going to love him as much as I love every other kid me and Robert have.”
“It’s for real then?”
Aaron thought about the conversation he and Robert had a few nights ago, talking adoption and all the kids they wanted to have together when they were more settled, when everything with Seb was more permanent.
(“Maybe Christmastime,” Robert murmured, face tucked into the crook of Aaron’s shoulder.”
“Christmastime,” Aaron hummed his agreement. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year, I s’pose.”)
“It’s for real, Liv,” he said, heart in his mouth as Liv crossed the room, settling herself down on the floor next to them.
“Why does he have to do this?” she asked, absently stroking a finger against Sebastian’s play-mat as she questioned him, her gaze solely, steadily on Sebastian for what felt like the first time.
“It helps strengthen all the muscles in his neck and stuff,” Aaron said, stretching out a little more. “So you grow up big and strong, isn’t that right mate?”
“He’s got Robert’s nose,” Liv commented, still keeping her distance.
“He does,” Aaron agreed. “Poor kid, eh?”
Liv let out a laugh, her eyes bright. “Yeah, poor kid.”
It wasn’t a giant leap forward - but it was enough, it was enough for Aaron to know this was going to work, that this would be forever.
look at this little baby being adorable
Robert and Liv Relationship Moodboard I fiercely protective
-My fav relationship progression of Robert Sugden embracing his inner Dad Rob and getting all angry and fierce to fight Liv’s school, bullies, and her own self-hate.
“YOU ARE GROUNDED” also known as maybe the best thing Rob has ever said.
When you have time can you please write a little fic about aaron and robert decorating sebs room in their house? Thank you :)
“Robert, he’s a baby - he’s not going to care what shade of cream you paint his room,” Aaron commented, looking at Robert, eyebrow raised. His neurotic husband was painting the eleventh paint sample of the day onto the wall, each a startlingly similar shade of cream.
Robert capped the paint bottle, sighing. “I want it to be perfect,” he explained. “I want him to grow up with a room he loves, you know?”
“Do you think he’s going to notice?” Aaron rolled his eyes, crossing the room quickly, the random assortment of furniture and toys more mess than Robert was comfortable with, at the best of times - it was even starting to annoy Aaron, and he usually didn’t notice any mess.
He wrapped his arms around Robert’s waist, pressing his face to Robert’s shoulder. “Babies only see in black and white, you know.”
“That’s newborns,” Robert mumbled. “I just - I want us to be good dads, Aaron.”
“The colour you paint his room isn’t what’s going to make you a good dad, or me,” Aaron said. “Loving him makes us good dads, giving him a good life makes us good dads.”
“He didn’t have a good start in love, I want to make up for that,” Robert admitted, leaning back into Aaron’s embrace, honest in a way Aaron still wasn’t used to. They were better now, good in a way Aaron was still sometimes surprised by, the kind of good that was going to last a lifetime.
“We have,” Aaron said, pressing a kiss to Robert’s t-shirt clad shoulder. “You’ve got to go and pick him up.”
Robert twisted. “What would I do without you?” he asked, a soft, sincere smile on his face.
“Nothing good,” Aaron grinned, pressing a messy kiss to Robert’s cheek before giving him a tap on the arse, sending him toward the door of the bedroom. “Go on, I’ll order in summat for tea.”
He waited until Robert was gone before he got Liv out of her room, his sister turning her nose up at the fifty shades of cream that were on offer. Thankfully, Liv was on his wavelength - no child deserved a cream bedroom.
Kids deserved colour, and adventure, and well - that’s what Aaron and Liv gave him (mostly Liv, to be fair), though it took a week.
A week for Liv to create an epic, magical forest on one wall of Sebastian’s bedroom, animals and fairies and rainbows, things he’d grow up begging Aaron and Robert to tell him stories about, the same thing the rest of their brood would do as they all had their turn in the nursery.
(But that was all to come.)
i think like, the reason i find robert as a parent so appealing and interesting is because it’s one of the few times we’ve seen robert in a situation he can’t control - taking care of seb isn’t something he can throw money at, it’s something he has to struggle and muddle through until he finds his way and learns how to deal with parenthood and fully embrace that aspect of his life.
i just enjoy seeing a new side to robert and i hope we’re going to get more of this frazzled dad content beyond the scenes tonight. like. show me robert struggling, show me him not being able to adapt to fatherhood, show me him desperately wanting to make it work and be the best dad he can be even though he’s so in over his head it’s unreal.
