Sgt Tozer being passed lap to lap in the officers meeting my heart 🥺 Blanky somehow ends up with him if Collins isn’t there but Ned wants to hold the baby so bad he’s looking at Blanky with giant eyes every time he thinks no one is looking trying to get some baby cuddles
let ned cuddle the baby please let him cuddle the baby Ned lap very a comfortable place for sol to rest give ned baby give baby to ned give ned baby
Bouncing off Ned being occasionally the oldest: I 100% see Hickey or whatever villain has managed to get Tozer getting tired of caregiving/having a scam they need to pull/wanting to sleep with someone new and leaving a distraught, tiny Tozer on James and Francis’s doorstep and Ned, whether little or not, being extremely anxious over the whole situation (because there’s a BABY at his house and what if it doesn’t go home and it’s gonna try to play with HIS toys????) but also being very much a chronic older sibling and reluctantly wanting to help this sad baby because *he’s* been a sad scared baby and even though this new kid is taking up his parents time he doesn’t want him to be stressed like he usually is
Oh poor babyy ;_; the fic inspiration is too strong- (i hope you don't mind the Ned POV, i just thought it fit the occasion)
Ned came downstairs because of the horrified "OH MY GOD" he heard his mama say.
"How long have you been out there, sweetheart?" mama said and pet Sol's hair. Oh. Sol is here. Are they having a surprise sleepover...?
Sol sniffed and shrugged. "Dunno."
"Poor thing is soaked through... Tom, would you prepare a bath for him?"
Tommy nodded and ran off quickly.
Ned reached for him but didn't catch him.
"Francis, please find a pull-on and some spare clothes? Ned's will do I think..." Why does mama need his clothes? What's happening?
"On my way." Dada walked past Ned and pat him on the arm. "Don't worry, he's okay."
Ned stared after him as he disappeared in the play room. Why wouldn't Sol be okay...? What's going on? It's so confusing. There's so much happening and he doesn't know... Doesn't know anything. He-
He walked towards mama, wanted her to hold him, but she was holding Sol.
Oh no... Sol really is all wet. And he's crying. Is he sad...? He doesn't want Sol to be sad...
They're friends, he should do something. But what can he do? ... Oh!
He ran back upstairs and found the big fluffy doggy toy Sol likes. He always plays with it when he's here.
But when Ned wanted to go downstairs, mommy was already taking Sol up. So he waited for them on top of the stairs.
"Oh, honey, i don't know if Sol is in the mood for toys right now. He's very cold, he needs a warm bath first, okay? Then you two can play."
But that's not what the toy is for! It's to help him be brave! He tried giving Sol the toy anyway, but he didn't take it. Maybe momma's right. Sol should warm up first. Ned sure isn't in a mood to play when he's all cold either.
So Ned ran ahead to the bathroom and put the doggy toy on the ground. It's okay, it will not get wet.
Tommy was still preparing things. He saw Ned come in and pet his arm. "Are they coming?"
He nodded.
"Okay. I took some of your clothes so Sol has something dry to wear, alright?"
Those are his clothes, not Sol's. And he's going to mess them. And... and tear them. And-
"Aw, Ned... It's alright... I'll make sure to wash them afterwards and all. Okay?" Tommy kissed his forhead and pet his cheek. Tommy is so nice always...
"Oh, you've got it all set up I see." Mama said. She was at the door with Sol now.
"Yeah... Poor thing looks like he really needs it." Tommy said and helped mama undress Sol. He was shaking all over. Is he cold or crying? Ned can't tell from so far away.
He walked closer and knelt on the floor. Sol was in the bathtub now. Mama was washing him and petting his hair and shushing him like she does with Ned when he's not feeling very good.
And Sol looks like he's not feeling good at all. Not at all.
So Ned lied his head on top of the tub and tried very hard to talk. Talking was so hard since morning... He only said a few things, but he has to try to make Sol feel better. "Is okay," he said.
Mama turned to him. "Aw, Ned..."
"Is okay." He said again. If mama thinks he's doing good then he is.
"Okay," Sol said but didn't smile at all.
"We'll clean you up and then you two can have a snack and nap together, how does that sound?" Mama asked.
That sounds very nice. Maybe he can help? "M- make s-s-snack with dada?" Words are so hard...
"That would be so sweet of you, Ned," mama smiled. "You don't have to, but I'd be very proud of you if you did. Go ask dada if there's something safe you can do, okay? No knives."
He nodded. Knives are scary, he doesn't want any knives. Daddy can do that.
.....
They made a snack with dada. Toast! But all kinds of toast so anyone can pick one. Sweet and salty and also one with an apple slice on it - that one was for daddy.
Sol chose the peanut butter one and also the peach marmelade one and also the strawberry marmelade one.
Ned sat on the couch, even though Tommy doesn't like it when he eats on the couch. And Sol sat next to him and also ate his toasts. He was happier. He even talked a little bit with dada.
"If you're both done eating, what about the nap?" Mommy asked.
Nap sounds nice. He's very tired...
Sol nodded too.
"Alright, I'll bring you some blankets then. You two wait here, okay?"
"Okay, mama."
[Fic cuts off abrubtly i know ;_; i sort of got stuck]
Sol in Johnny’s clothes but Heather had already used the one extra diaper he brought so Sol gets one of Johnny’s decorative disposable nappies that’s way bigger than what he’s used to.
OMG where is this art of Little Sol with caregiver Lieuts? Did I miss it? The thought of Baby Sol on Terror being looked after by the Lieutenants is so good I have developed scurvy and will be passing away post haste.
The previous anon was refering to two seperate drawings I believe.. BUT!!!! this ask got me thinking about them and I've come to the conclusion that I love them ;_; they'd be so adorable together...
I think Sol would do well with the different ways they each show love and it'd make him feel so so loved and special. Because he is <33
OKAY i finally have the courage to present to you my hc!! i’ve been microwaving tommy armitage in my head lately and i loooove the idea of him being little but still wanting to feel useful!! one of the cgs asks him to fetch them something and he’s soo excited!! i think he regresses a bit older than the others, so he likes taking care of them, even if he’s not very good at it. he babysits sol for a bit and they have a great time until they have to call heather because they ate too much candy and have tummy aches :( he’s very pleased with himself because while sol didn’t want to eat a vegetable, he convinced him to have strawberry ice cream and that’s nearly a fruit!! despite his caregiving skills, heather quite likes when he comes over. some of the sign language he’s taught sol has been very useful when talking is tricky and while he doesn’t exactly keep sol out of trouble, the two of them are definitely safe together which is more than can be said for when hickey has sol
Thank you for these!!! 💖💖 i love them ;_;
He tries so hard! Great big brother for tiny Sol 🥰
A tiny fic for you UwU (it's not longer bc I don't have my laptop :') writing on phone is a pain but i had to write Tommy he's so goshdarn cute aaaaaaa)
"Um... Bill...?" Tommy huddled close to the door frame, holding onto it.
The boys have been awfully quiet for the last ten minutes, so seeing Tom shyly look up at him with his head bowed down, the alarm bells began ringing in Bill's head.
"Something happened?" he got up immediately and walked all the way to the little.
He first turned away, then back to Bill. "Sol's got a... a tummyache... I think... He won't talk to me..." Tommy shrunk and hugged the doorframe closer.
Bill sighed and reached out to hold Tom's shoulder. "Have you got a tummyache too?"
"Well..." he shrugged.
"You do, don't you...?"
"Yeah," Tommy whined and made two quick steps forward to hide in Bill's shirt.
He sighed, hugged him close and rubbed his back for a while, before pulling slowly back. "Is Sol in his room?"
"Yeah... We... We had ice cream... Lots. And- And I was supposed to watch him! But-"
He put a hand over the anxious little's chest. "You're good, Tommy. Just come with me, we'll get Sol and then both of you can have a nap, okay? We'll make it better."
"Will you... Take a nap too?"
"As if I could leave out on a nap with the two of you... of course I'm taking a nap too. Let's get Solomon now. Okay?"
Your Ned and Goodsir art is so cute, even if Ned isn't feeling very good about the whole doctor thing...
It also made me think who would be a good playmate for Goodsir and I have a few options :
- Morfin ! I think he would like to have someone take care of him, even if it's just playing pretend
- Collins, he doesn't like when Goodsir goes into too dark stuff, but will happily pretend to hurt his leg or have a cold so Goodsir can take care of him :)
- Graham is really afraid of medical stuff (because of trauma caused by the tunnbaq attack/whatever the equivalent is in a modern AU), but Goodsir loves to play with animals ! So he'll try to train him and teach him tricks. He is surprisingly good at it. (Goodsir also tries to teach Tozer tricks when he's in a puppy mood, but he isn't a good student >:( He keeps getting distracted)
- 🐾
Thank youuuu 💕💕
These are all so cute >w< Hard agree with Collins being fine with it as long as it's not too morbid...
Oh, maybe if Harry gets the right type of treat, Sol will learn better. Maybe Heather has tips to share, even. I think otherwise he'd be good at listening and following orders, he just doesn't have the attention span for new ones, definitely not from Goodsir, not when he gives him dry crackers as treats smh 😞
Graham is fine with pets and praise as reward I think.
Little bath times? Feel like hodge has a tub decked out for johnny, all the bubble baths, toys, etc...
Ned & tommy sometimes take one together. Sol splashing around.
Johnny's bath is like one of those over the top tiktok kid baths with colored lights and bath bombs and themed decorations all around it and sometimes an ipad stuck to the wall playing peppa pig, plus the toys of course. *gasp* a bunch of floating plastic balls in the bath, I think he'd love those! <33333
There might be a bit of fighting between Tom and Ned on how hot the water should be, but they settle inbetween at the end and all is well. Fitzjames might take some photos of them because she can't resist how cute they are together.
Sol is happy with any kind of bath, he just loves water 🥰🥰 But once in a while Heather buys him a bath bomb or makes way too many bubbles, so they overflow from the tub and it's a mess to clean up, but Sol is having so much fun Bill just can't say no ;_;
Falling asleep and thinking abt ways to calm littles down for bed.
Ned goes willingly, he's basically always ready to sleep. If he's not right away, he'll be sleepy by the time the bedtime routine is over.
Frankie needs to be coaxed. Going to sleep at the same time every day helps a lot with the resisting but if he needs to go to bed sooner than usual, he's going to need a warm bottle and some tummy pats at minimum.
Sol needs to run out of energy to fall asleep during the day, but for night time some headpats are enough to get him sleepy.
All Johnny needs is mama's lap and the right amount of Tired. If he's not tired enough mama rocks him and sings to him which usually works.
Jopjop needs a blankie and preferably to feel someone beside him. And also silence. He won't fall asleep if the TV is on.
