Leafs dad’s trip 2018

also major shoutout to Jake for stepping up after Mo was injured. He’s having some great few games recently.

He looks like a white dad at a barbecue, all he needs is some sandals to go with those socks and a grill

#1 jake Gardiner

hey, can I request a jake gardiner imagine? a fluffy one where jake introduces the reader to the team and everybody loves her and she and jake kind of become the parents of the team/the rookies and the reader helps take care of them when they’re injured/puts up with all of their dumb bullshit but likes them anyway? I recently saw a gifset describing jake gardiner as the mama bird of the group so this request popped into my head

will be a two parter so prepare yourself for that

Song suggestion of the day:

“Mitchy put that down.” Jake scolded as his tiny teammate attempted to duel Mo with a branch he’d found while they were walking.

“Let your hatred fuel you.” Mitch cackled, poking Jake in the side. “Come to the darkside.”

“Don’t encourage him.” Jake warned Mo as he pried the stick from mitch as auston snickered.

“Don’t be nervous, Jakey, we already love her.” Mo declared, throwing an am around his best friend’s shoulders.

“Yeah, that’s not why I’m nervous.” Jake replied and Mitch feinted hurt but was quickly distracted by trying to catch the grape Matt threw him in his mouth.

Sure you’d met a few of the guys before, Mo included, but you had get to meet the bundles of joy that were the baby leafs. He used the term joy loosely because it definitely did not feel that way at times.

“It’ll be fine.” Zach assured but jake didn’t really have the heart to believe him.

“Right. Can you all just behave for an hour?” Jake warned them.

“For your girllllfriennnnddd.” Willy smirked, starting up a chorus of whoops from the rest of the boys and an eyeroll from jake as he lead the way into the bowling alley.

You grinned when you caught sight of Jake, standing up to greet him.

“Hey, you!” you grinned. 

“Hey,” He smiled wearily and leaned down to kiss your cheek. Cue snickers from Mitch and Auston.

“You guys must be Mitch and Auston!” You beamed, turning your attention to them. Mitch bounded in for a hug to greet you but Auston was a little more reserved. “And then Zach, Matt and Willy?” The boys nodded.”Brownie, Freddie, Kappy..”You guessed, waiting for the boys to nod before you continued. “And of course I know Mo and James already!” Mo grinned at that. “Shall we get to it then, boys?”

“I like her already.” Mitch whispered to Auston.

“Just because she knew your name?” Auston snorted. “You have low standards.”

“He doesn’t need our blessing.” Mitch reasoned.

“But still he’s like our…” Auston searched for the right words.

“Dad?” Mitch contributed.

“He’s not our-”

Mitch raised an eyebrow. “Team dad.” he told auston sternly.

“Fine.” Auston rolled his eyes. “team dad. But like a cool dad.”

“Don’t drink and bowl boys.” you joked, setting Kappy’s water on the table for him as he got up to take his turn.

“Yes mom.” Mitch saluted as they joined the table, making Jake choke on his water and you smile warmly at Mitch.
