finding out you were pregnant was the best thing for you and mick. just finishing up the mission, everyone coming back safe and mick was home. it was a shock at first, being pregnant with your first child. but mickey was determined to be there, every step of the way.
he would not let you do anything. laundry? nope. grocery shopping? absolutely not. if he caught you doing anything that wasn’t resting or going to the washroom, he would have something to say.
“hey honey, im just going to go-“
“i got it, you should go rest.”
“mick, ive been sitting in that bed and around the house for days. i think i’ll be fine going to the store.”
“the store? i can drive you!”
there are some things you have gotten him to lighten up on, especially with going places. he treated you like an antique artifact that could break at any moment. which was half true.
pregnancy cravings were part of that. they were mostly similar foods you would eat, but the weird cravings always came at night. in the middle of the night. you would awake in a sweat, having the little thing pushing on your bladder. then after the washroom you would wake your husband with requests.
“hey honey, im really craving pickles and peanut butter…”
“baby…what?”
“don’t look at me like that!”
“no, baby its fine. just uh…i think were out of pickles.”
“i am going to scream if i don’t get those pickles. and its going to be your body that phoenix finds on her doorstep-“
“OKAY, i’ll go get your pickles.”
besides the pregnancy cravings, mick has tried everything in his power to learn the basics of being a father. he would read parenting books everyday, making you quiz him on certain situations.
"alright...hit me!"
"when the baby is crying- mickey, you do know that the real thing is far more easier than memorizing this book right?"
"honey, this is for the good of both of us! so if one thing doesn't work i'll at least know another cause- now, hit me!"
"garcia, i will hit you with this book-"
as months continued and soon you were struggling to get up due to the belly in your way. mickey grew to love your bump. absolutely love it.
"that's my baby girl in there-"
"and what if it's a boy?"
"it is a girl, father's intuition."
"they're not even here yet, meaning technically, youre not a father ."
"but i can feel it, in my gut."
mickey would always rub your belly and testing out new things he could do with it. one of them being balancing items on top of it.
"alright, keep it steady."
"i don't think this amount of pop cans are good for you, mick."
"all in the name of science-"
when it got to the last trimester, mickey was nervous, more nervous than you and you were the one going to give birth!
"honey!"
"what? what is it? are you hurt? is the baby coming? do we need to go to the hospital-"
"mickey! i am completely fine, im just craving some ice cream."
with the gruelling and interesting nine months, the day finally came. your water had broke and soon after, your baby was born. mickey was holding the baby swaddled in a blanket and watched voer you as you rested.
"a father's intuition..." mickey looks down at the sleeping baby girl in his arms.
Hi!! What are some of your favorite Fanboy headcanons???
Ooooh this was harder than expected. I only have a few that aren't tied to my fics, so here they are:
His first name is actually Miguel, but he's gone by Mickey since he was about three. That's when his first "fanboy obsession" started with Disney. His father jokingly called him Mickey once and the name's stuck ever since.
When it comes to video games, Mickey prefers playing action-adventure games with a good story. He first got into gaming through Kingdom Hearts but his favorite game is The Last of Us even though it makes him cry at key points.
The boy is a dog lover. Like, down on the ground wrestling with a random dog he met at the park.
He never shows up to a party empty handed, and he always stays at the end to clean.
Fanboy's not a huge drinker, so he usually offers to be the DD. The major exception to this is weddings and holidays, where he really lets loose.
Payback and Fanboy graduated Top Gun at the same time as the number 1 and 2 of their class.
Fanboy hates conflict. Especially when it manifests in passive aggression. At least he can break up a fight, drama and hurt feelings are another thing.
so ive seen so many of these and i just had to do one for fanboy, because i love him very much. so heres some of my headcanons for fanboy going to the beach!
getting ready to go to the beach is by far the worst experience with mickey. it all starts with the idea of going to beach and when the time comes, he is searching for everything.
"hey babe, got the sunscreen?"
"yes."
"do you have the keys?"
"i swear mick-"
on the way there, mickey would have his aviators on, windows down and stereo up!
"here we go!" *proceeds to scream a song*
getting there is peaceful for the most part, mick would grab the cooler from the back and tells you not to worry about carrying anything.
you do anyways because it physically hurts watching him do the one trip manoeuvre.
"i said i got it, hon!"
"i just have my purse, mick"
"give it here-"
settling on the beach was the best part, you set down your towel and lay down. there is barely anyone there, but its a nice and sunny day. until mick gets antsy.
he cant relax, he has to keep himself occupied. so you got just the thing for him. beach toys.
"beach toys? i'm not a baby."
mick then proceeds to play with the beach toys for a majority of their time there. he was determined to build the best sandcastle the world has ever seen.
"see, look at that. best goddamn sandcastle you've ever seen, i bet i could win a competition."
it wasn't half bad. well from an amateur standard. not wanting to be mean, you change the subject.
"yea mick, its a really good sandcastle. what about going for a swim?"
the beach you happen to go to is the ocean, so stepping into it was the coldest thing in the world, and fanboy made sure it was known.
"oh i think my balls are gone-"
"mickey what the fuck-"
"its COLD OKAY?!"
after many minutes of warming up in the water, you guys begin to have fun, performing multiple tricks, flipping in the water, floating around in each others arms.
mickey is the kind of guy to pull jokes and pranks, so when he saw the opportunity, he scares the living bejesus out of you.
"mickey? where did you go-WHAT THE FUCK JUST TOUCHED MEE?!"
mickey comes up laughing and earns smacking on the chest as he can barely control his laughter.
as the sunset falls on the water, mick holds you in his arms, smiling and kissing you all over the place.
"mick, there *kiss* are *kiss* kids *kiss* over *kiss* there *kiss*"
"so? just because some kids are here i can't kiss my beautiful girl?"
"yes, we have to set an example."
"an example? they aren't ours, fuck them kids-"
"mickey i swear to god-"
easy to say the beach is an experience. whether it was good or bad is debatable. but one thing that isn't up for debate, there is no one like fanboy garcia.
