Hello E!! Hope you’re okay! I just felt the need to say that the new photo of Calum with his curls and glasses gives me ultimate soft dad DWC vibes 🥺🥺🥺

Lauren oh my gosh I will melt 🥺 he’s truly blessed us with some top tier soft dad content which is pristine bc I was truly running out of photos for fics

Also this one with Duke...

If we can just take a minute to imagine Mila in her car seat it’d be the perfect daddy daughter doggy day out and I think that’s just glorious 😭

This is stupid but I just realized in dwc Mila’s initials are M.A.H and once cal gets them tattooed (bc of course he would) Ashton would probably look at it and say “Mah?” in a heartfelt teasing tone and Calum would look him dead in the eye and say “yeah it stands for mah baby” 🥴😂

Dwc thoughts below bc apparently I can’t write for it but I sure can think about it a lot 💛 specifically Mila as a toddler

First thought: Mila the ballerina

Lots of pink and tutus and Cal doing her hair for dance practice and twirling her around the living room and playing her dance music on the piano for her.

Second thought: Mila and Robbie

Play dates galore. The guys taking the toddlers out to the park and for lunch. Sleepovers where Mila and Robbie pass out in a little pile on the living room floor and Cal or Luke has to carry them to bed.

Third thought: daddy, daughter and doggie days

Cal takes Mila and Duke out for a bonding day at least once a week. They go wherever Mila’s little heart desires. To playgrounds and the beach where she wears a little bucket hat.

I just. Have many thoughts.

If you want to come chat about them... I am here 😌

Not me thinking about Calum making Duke play the piano as a way to make Mila laugh 🥺

what do you think calum’s love language is in dwc to the reader? he’s so soft in the series 🥺

I think with the reader it’s really subtle. A mix of every kind of love language but in soft tones. His words of affirmation come as often as needed (we see them in reassurance in quite a strong sense) but also sprinkled through their lives in much more casual instances. Whispered words, reminders of his love, little promises he knows he can keep. He’s big on quality time with reader but it never has to be extravagant though he’s known to plan some trips and be an over the top romantic now and then. Quality time can be as simple as staying home, eating pizza in bed together and watching a movie that’s been seen a hundred times before. Physical touch is another very subtle thing—from holding hands and running thumbs over the back of each other’s hands as an added emphasis or his hand on the small of reader’s back when anxiety is present. It’s subtle but it’s always there; he is always there.

Come chat about dwc 🤍

If when Mila got moved into her little toddler bed, Duke came along too and slept beside her 🥺 When Calum or reader go to take her up to bed, she calls for Duke to come along and he just toddles behind them and he follows them to bed and snuggles in 🥺

Duke is basically her teddy bear. Maybe the first time she has a nightmare about monsters Calum calms her by telling her Duke is her guard dog and he’d never let a monster get her. She holds him all night long and it makes her feel safe. If she ever has to sleep over at one of her uncles or aunt Mali’s she asks if she can bring Duke because she can’t sleep without him—he has to protect her. Cal and reader have so many pictures of the two snuggled together. He’s her best friend ever and Calum’s okay with losing his best bud to her. So long as she’s happy 🤍

E plssss

Just imagine Cal and Mila in matching bunny ears headbands

I see Cal in the ears and I raise you Mila in a little bunny onesie 🥺 and Duke being so confused because “why bunny in house 👀 where Mila 🥺” and Cal having the biggest grin because when Mila crawls on the floor with Duke and her little bunny tail and ears wiggle and flop it’s the cutest thing he’s ever seen, especially when she starts giggling because Duke finally recognizes her and gives her kisses 😭 he calls Mila “lil bunny” for like three months straight after that

Just thinking about dwc and Mila’s first Easter. Cal hiding eggs with little candies for her and little treats for Duke so they can go on the hunt together 🥺
