[6/4/2015 12:37:38 AM] Sammeh: omfg I just thought of the backstory for how Laxus and Toto got Emma
[6/4/2015 12:38:46 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: ooh
[6/4/2015 12:40:05 AM] Sammeh: Toto and Laxus try to help a pregnant woman in labor get to a hospital and she dies, but the baby girl is healthy and alive
[6/4/2015 12:40:27 AM] Sammeh: and it just strikes a cord with Toto because he was a child from the same predicament
[6/4/2015 12:41:21 AM] Sammeh: and he just "I'll take her. I'll raise her."
[6/4/2015 12:42:00 AM] Sammeh: Laxus is uneasy about it since he's not so good with kids
[6/4/2015 12:42:25 AM] Sammeh: and Toto's like "I'll raise her, with or without you."
[6/4/2015 12:44:05 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: aaaah yeah
[6/4/2015 12:44:16 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: and Laxus just freaks because there is no 'without you' he's staying
[6/4/2015 12:44:30 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: he's just also super scared because this kid is tINY AND HE IS NOT TINY
[6/4/2015 12:45:06 AM] Sammeh: I had the same feeling
[6/4/2015 12:45:59 AM] Sammeh: Toto takes on the mother role
[6/4/2015 12:46:14 AM] Sammeh: since he has a lot of maternal instincts
[6/4/2015 12:46:31 AM] Sammeh: his grandma made him such a supersensitive softie lol
[6/4/2015 12:48:52 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: bawww
[6/4/2015 12:49:00 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: Laxus is just a giant teddy bear
[6/4/2015 12:49:13 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: he tries to be scary but once you actually know him it's like. barely effective
[6/4/2015 12:49:21 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: unless he's actually mad then it might still work
[6/4/2015 12:49:24 AM] Sammeh: yeah
[6/4/2015 12:49:41 AM] Sammeh: roaring would definitely make Toto cower
[6/4/2015 12:49:55 AM] Sammeh: but god imagine Toto asking him if he wants to hold Emma
[6/4/2015 12:50:02 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: omg he'd be terrified
[6/4/2015 12:50:12 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: he'd just look petrified and shake his head a bit
[6/4/2015 12:50:14 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: but he's bright red
[6/4/2015 12:51:24 AM] Sammeh: and Toto just sighs and 'Laxus, you're not gonna hurt her. You're a lot gentler than you give yourself credit for.'
[6/4/2015 12:51:49 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: '...maybe when she's a bit older. I just...can't, yet.'
[6/4/2015 12:52:10 AM] Sammeh: 'Why?'
[6/4/2015 12:54:16 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: '...Toto, please-'
[6/4/2015 12:54:34 AM | Edited 12:54:49 AM] Sammeh: ' Why? '
[6/4/2015 12:56:54 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: and he just runs a hand through his hair, looking super stressed. 'I just -- I'm scared, alright? I'm fucking terrified. I want to help you raise this kid, and I want to be a good parent to her, but...I don't know what to do, or how, and that scares the living hell outta me.'
[6/4/2015 1:09:28 AM] Sammeh: 'I'm not surprised, given your family history. However, you have me to guide you. Just do what I do, it's as simple as that.'
[6/4/2015 1:51:19 AM] Sammeh: Emma moves her arms a bit in small jerky motions before settling down again. She let her eyes wander before finding Laxus. 'That's your other daddy, Emma.'
[6/4/2015 10:50:18 AM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: omg and he just freezes and watches her because kids scare him a lot
[6/4/2015 12:51:04 PM] Sammeh: and she coos and makes small sounds
[6/4/2015 12:54:41 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: omg and he's just
[6/4/2015 12:54:42 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: staring
[6/4/2015 12:59:58 PM | Edited 1:00:22 PM] Sammeh: 'You don't have to just stand there, you know. You can touch her. I assure you, she's not made of tissue paper.'
[6/4/2015 1:00:23 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: 'I-I know.' but he continues to just sTAND THERE BECAUSE HE'S A HOPELESS CHILD HIMSELF
[6/4/2015 1:04:35 PM] Sammeh: And Toto just gets really frustrated and grabs his hand while still holding Emma in one arm and brings his hand to her. 'Touch. Her.'
[6/4/2015 1:05:28 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: omg
[6/4/2015 1:05:39 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: poor guys trying to deal with each other during this--
[6/4/2015 1:06:05 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: Laxus just 'okAY OKAY JUST STOP YANKING-' and just very gently strokes her hair
[6/4/2015 1:07:15 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: and then it just kinda clicks and after a few minutes he even asks to hold her
[6/4/2015 1:08:21 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: 'I don't think I'll ever understand it...'
'What?'
'....her pinky finger's so tiny, but she's already got big ol' me wrapped around it.'
[6/4/2015 1:10:34 PM] Sammeh: And he just smiles and hands her to Laxus
[6/4/2015 1:10:52 PM] Sammeh: 'remember to cradle her head and don't let it fall back.'
[6/4/2015 1:11:25 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: 'Yeah' and he's just got her cradled in one arm, letting her hold onto the fingers of his other hand
[6/4/2015 1:12:13 PM] Sammeh: but omg when she cries
[6/4/2015 1:12:19 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: oH NO
[6/4/2015 1:12:30 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: Laxus just freezes up
[6/4/2015 1:12:37 PM] Almighty Thunder God Sir: 'wh-what'd I do-?!'
