Baby Arondekar Headcanon👻🍼🤰
During Pregnancy
All of the ghosts (including the basement ghosts and British soldiers) would be so happy that Sam is pregnant as most of them haven’t seen a baby centuries
Thorfinn would be overprotective of Sam during her pregnancy, making sure she doesn’t fall or bump into anything. He would even pull out his axe to keep them ghosts out of Sam’s way
Pete and Hetty would go overboard on parenting advice even when some of their tactics are outdated
Pete: “You should use scotch or whiskey to soothe the baby’s teething.”
Hetty: “Formula for milk? How absurd! The nanny breastfeed my children and they turned out strong.”
Possibly Alberta would give up her bedroom so Sam and Jay could turn it into the baby’s room
Trevor would admit Sam has the “pregnancy glow.”
The ghosts would be curious on modern baby items like breast pumps or baby monitor and celebrations such as the baby shower and gender reveal party
Isaac and Hetty would give their advice on decorating the baby’s bedroom (Isaac would insist on a dinosaur-themed nursery)
Flower would forget that Sam is pregnant and congratulate her every single time
When it comes to naming the baby, the ghosts would have some suggestions
Thor: “Little baby will make great warrior! Needs strong name like Solvieg, Brynhild, Ragnar!”
Sassapis: “What about Weenjipahkihelexkwe for a girl? It has a nice ring to it.”
Issac: “As long as it’s not Alexander or Alexandra or Alex! That baby should not be named after Hamilton.”
Hetty: “We need a strong, regal name such as Adeline or Silas.”
Alberta: “I got it! Alberta or Albert if it’s a boy.”
Flower: “Maybe something like Sage, Rainbow, Butterfly or River Rock.”
Pete: “For a girl, Jessica. For a boy, Kevin.”
Trevor: “Okay, Zack would be good for a boy. For a girl, I’ll go with Tara after the legendary Tara Reid.”
Pete would definitely tag along to all the doctor’s appointments
Out of boredom, Trevor and Sassapis would start a bet with all the ghosts on the baby’s gender: Trevor, Alberta, Thor, Hetty, Flower, and possibly Nigel would bet on a boy; Pete, Sas, Isaac, Nancy, and some of the basement ghosts bet on a girl
The ghosts would watch and criticize Jay as he struggles with assembling up the crib
Alberta and Hetty would fight over being the baby’s godmother while Pete would name himself the godfather
After Giving Birth (this is for if the baby is boy or girl)
Pete would go with Sam and Jay to the hospital and come back to Woodstone Manor to tell everyone that the baby is born and healthy.
The Ghosts would gather as Sam and Jay come home with their new bundle of joy.
Pete and Alberta takes turns guarding the door to make sure none of the ghosts bother Sam while she’s recovering
Some of the ghosts want to hold the baby but remember they can’t
Sas would use his powers to go into the baby’s dreams to make sure he/she get a good long sleep
Trevor would pretend he doesn’t like babies or kids but he eventually admits he loves the baby
Alberta will hum a lullaby for the baby
If the Baby can see the Ghosts
As the baby gets older, the ghosts realize he/she can see them as the baby responds to Thor’s shouting or any of them making faces to the baby.
Flower would play peek-a-boo with him/her for hours.
The baby will go to sleep or calm down to Thor’s lullaby or Alberta’s singing
Sas would tell him/her bedtime stories
The ghosts have to make sure the kid doesn’t run through Flower or Isaac as their powers will go off
He/She will get confused and try to walk through the door and walls like the ghosts
The kid will try to hold the ghosts’ hands but the ghosts fight through the pain
He/She would be scared of the basement ghosts as first but eventually likes them
Nigel, Jenkins, and Baxter (including Carol) may not be too fond of the child but eventually go visit at Woodstone as they haven’t seen a child in centuries (or Caorl insists as she was a mother/grandmother)
As the kid grows older, they start referring the ghosts as their aunts and uncles
“Aunt Flower, look at this caterpillar I found!”
“Uncle Isaac, are you a pirate?”
“I don’t wanna hunt a squirrel, Uncle Thor. I want hot dogs for dinner!”
“Tell me another story, Uncle Sas.”
“Aunt Berta, sing me another song.”
“Uncle Trevor, where are your pants?”
“I wanna watch Ninja Turtles with Uncle Pete.”
“You talk funny, Aunt Hetty!”
Uncle Trevor would have their living niece/nephew on the internet searching up things for him
Aunt Flower and Uncle Sas would take the kid on nature walks and explore the woods
Uncle Thor would play fight and insist on his niece/nephew on hunting their own food
Aunt Hetty would teach her descendant proper etiquette and manners (and secretly give speech classes)
All the ghosts would participate in dress up parties and playing games like hide and seek (Flower would forget she’s hiding)
He/She would have fun playing dinosaurs with Uncle Isaac
Aunt Alberta would sing or use Alexa to play song for her living niece/nephew to dance and sing
Uncle Pete would go to all school programs, dance recitals, and sports games to cheer on him/her.
He/She would include them in family projects at school such as drawings
“That’s my mom and dad. That’s Aunt Berta, Uncle Trevor, Uncle Pete, Aunt Flower, Uncle Isaac, Aunt Hetty, Uncle Sas, and Uncle Thor. They live in my house but they can’t leave except Uncle Pete—he’s right there!”
San and Jay would tell people they’re just his imaginary friends
He/She might get curious on the ghosts
“Momma, how come you and I can see them but Daddy can’t?”
“Uncle Pete, how come you can come with me but Aunt Hetty or Uncle Thor can’t leave?”
“Aunt Flower, how can you go through the doors and I can’t?”
Sam might have to explain the ghosts are ghosts to her child. Nonetheless, he/she would still love their ghostly aunts and uncles
