Masterlist

You and robert are waiting in the bathroom the seconds feel like hours when finally the time goes off.

You both rush to flip over the test only to see one line.

"Negative again really" you say heartache in your voice as robert wraps his arms around you.

"Okay that's it before you leave for the states I need to get my fertility checked" you say determination in your voice.

"Before we leave I can't be away from you for that long" robert says as you nod.

You call the doctor the next morning and both you and robert agree to get your fertility checked. The journey to the hospital was one filled with worry and reassurance.

"What if I'm the broken one?" You ask robert who suddenly looks angry

"Hey that's my wife your talking about and if her fertility is the issue then we'll deal with it plus you wouldnt be broken your not a machine you're a human being" he asks clearly angry you even thought it meant you were broken.

"Well what if. Yknow if I am the problem and I'm the reason we can't have kids then I'm ok with you leaving me" you say looking down solemnly.

"Well would you leave me if it was my fault" he asks

"WHAT no of course not why would you even ask me that?" You say worry in your tone

"Well you asked me and also I would never leave you, do you remember the day we met?" Robert asked.

of course you remembered the day you met him. You had just moved to Australia with your family for your parents job and as a treat they decided to take you all to the zoo.

During the trip you went to look for a bathroom getting lost you ask a blonde boy for help, he introduced himself as robert and helped you find both a toliet and your family and you guys agreed to stay friends.

So you spent the next three weeks visiting robert every single day and he then asked you out and you said yes.

"Of course I remember the day we met June 15th 2014" you say smiling.

"Did you know that day I saw you and thought wow she's the one I want, I wanna marry her" ribert says the tips of his ears red.

"And since then I needed fo be with you so if it's your fertility or mine we will do this together okay. He continued to which you nodded.

The tests took hours and you felt quite humiliated the tests make you feel humiliated you and robert wait for two weeks for the results.

Sitting in the hospital room the doctor arrives looking joyful

"Hi Mr and Mrs irwin I have your results and remarkably both your sperm and eggs are perfect for producing a baby I am unsure why you are both having so much trouble reproducing" you gasp as you hear what the doctor has to say hugging robert as the words settle in.

The weeks pass as you stay with robert who is always training for dancing with the stars you meticulously plan around your ovulation period to attempt to ensure the best chance of having a baby.

You sat getting ready to go watch the final. You still can't believe robert was in the final. Bindi pops in the room to see you hunched over a pregnancy test.

"Hey whatchu doing?" Bindi asks

"A test and it's still negative. Maybe we just don't deserve a child" you say your mind already degrading you.

"Maybe nows just not the time, cmon robertll be waiting" bindi says linking arms with you.

As you watch the competition your heart seems to slow at Roberts potential win.

"And the winner is" starts alfonso you can feel your heart drop the worry on your face evident. You can see val and alix who seem so certain they won.

"ROBERT AND WHITNEY" alfonso finishes you jump up excited that your husband has just won dancing with the stars.

You, bindi and terri run over to robert he hugs you.

"Hi" you say as robert kisses you.

The night felt like a blur of hugs and celebrations. Arriving at your hotel room robert puts his chin on your shoulder.

"I saw the test" he says "and I think we should try tonight, final try for a while because I think we need a little break" robert finishes speaking and you turn to him nodding.

Weeks after that night you and robert are sitting together next to the toliet as you cannot stop vomiting.

"It must be food poisoning" robert says rubbing your back gently you nod your stomach emptying itself again.

You began thinking about your symptoms. Tender breasts, swollen feet, missed period, vomiting, sensitivity to smells.

You gasp turning to look robert in the eyes.

"What if I'm pregnant" you say as robert seems to be doing the mental maths to figure out if there is a chance of it and the second he realises ypu both bounce to your feet standing up you both search for a pregnancy test.

Once you take the test robert begins filming you both.

"What are you doing?" You ask confused

"Well if we are having a kid I want to record the moment we find out" robert says as you laugh knowing how sentimental robert can be.

You and robert stand still as he flips round the test.

Two bright pink lines shine back at you

Two large pink lines

You are finally pregnant.

Without realising it you start crying as robert pulls you into a tight hug.

"We're gonna be parents" robert says clear from his voice he is crying.

"Your gonna be a dad" you say gently as he begins crying more.

"And your gonna be a mom" robert says as you speak

"Finally" you say breaking down before adding

"We can't tell anyone yet" as you speak robert seems confused.

"What if I miscarry we have to wait till past the first trimester"

Robert nods.

The first trimester was the hardest as hiding it while struggling was the worst but It seemed that the animals at the zoo had figured it out strangely.

During the second trimester that's when you decided to tell you begin by going shopping with robert buying a best aunt and uncle tshirt for bindi and chandler. You then bought a best cousin one for Grace and finally bought a world's best grandmother t-shirt for terri you sit them all down and robert takes your hand your nerves are seemingly out of this world as you hand over the items.

You hear bindi gasp "are you serious?!" She asks and you nod.

Before you can move terri is hugging you.

The third trimester was the hardest as robert began dating on you alot and wouldn't let you do anything claiming if you got hurt it would be his fault. As you were sat with robert you felt your water break

"Robert it's happening" you say trying to stay calm.

"WHAT NOW" robert says already freaking out.

"Yes now let's go" you say grabbing shoes as ribert grabs the hospital bag and you head to the hospital.

Robert is visibly freaking out as you get to the hospital room.

You were calm probably due to the medication helping with the pain.

After 3 hours of pushing screaming crying and telling robert you hate him you hear a baby crying.

Your baby.

She was here.

"Oh robert she's here" you say as the nurse wraps the baby.

Robert only nods in awestruck silence.

"Robert isn't she beautiful" you ask as the nurse hands you the baby.

Robert doesn't say anything he just looks at you.

"You did it, my girl did it I love you so much" he says you smile at him.

After hours of rest and rehab you and robert are attempting to name your daughter.

"How about stevie" you ask and robert smiles

"Stevie witney irwin" you say and robert agrees

He goes to get his family and your family.

"Everyone I want you to meet stevie witney irwin" you say as the irwins all look touched by deciding to honour steve in such a sweet way.

You and robert call asleep cuddling your daughter.

After years of trying you finally had a child and you weren't letting her go.

Robert Irwin x Surfer! OC

Summary: After a life-changing event, Kendra is forced to adjust to a new reality. When an unexpected invitation from Robert Irwin arrives, she must navigate the challenges of recovery, her relationships, and what comes next.

Warnings: injury, emotional distress

Part One

If there was one thing I couldn’t live without, it was surfing. There was nothing like being on the water, just me and the waves, every rise and fall syncing with my body like it was all meant to be. Nothing else gave me that feeling. Nothing.

It was another typical day at the beach. Gabbie and I were out in the water, but we stopped surfing a while ago. Now we were just floating in the shallow water, watching my dad ride the waves with her older brother. Josh, on the other hand, was on the beach, all over his girlfriend Ashlund like usual.

"Do you think he's gonna be like this forever?" I asked, rolling my eyes at Josh and Ashlund, who were practically glued together. They’d been like this since they started dating. Josh didn’t want to surf anymore, didn’t want to hang out with Gabbie and me. It was getting old, fast.

“I sure hope not, ‘cause this is just gross,” Gabbie said, laughing at my exaggerated grimace. She knew all about my crush on him, even if Josh was clueless.

"I don’t get it. She's so boring. I never see them laughing together. We used to laugh all the time," I said, sighing as dramatically as I could.

“Don’t worry. He’ll come crawling back. We’ll just look like we’re having the time of our lives, and he’ll get jealous.”

I started to ask how we were going to pull that off, but Gabbie beat me to it. She splashed me hard enough to soak me from head to toe. Oh, it was on. We had this unspoken rule—we didn’t really care about winning, just about having fun. We went back and forth until we couldn’t anymore.

I glanced over at Josh again, but he didn’t even seem to notice us. My stomach sank. Gabbie caught the look on my face.

“Let’s just go to Kalypso’s without him,” she said, “and not bring him back a drink.”

It was the perfect plan. We were about to head back to shore when I felt something rough brush against my leg. Probably a sea turtle, I thought, but I didn’t think much of it.

Then I felt a pull. At first, I thought it was just one of those annoying pranks Malia, Gabbie’s niece, loved pulling—grabbing our legs to drag us under. But the tug wasn’t playful. It was strong and sharp, and when it yanked me under, the panic hit. That wasn’t Malia. That was a shark.

I looked down, and sure enough, it had a chunk of me in its mouth. I swung my fist, aiming for its nose, but when I made eye contact with its black, beady eyes, I froze. The shark twisted side to side like it was shaking a rope. And then I saw the blood. The water around me was turning pink.

I barely remember much after that, just flashes—Gabbie screaming for help, warning everyone about the shark. I could hear my dad and Joseph getting closer, their voices frantic as they yelled at Gabbie to get out of the water. I wanted to scream, too, but the pain was too much.

I could see Gabbie’s face, her eyes wide with terror. She looked at me for a split second, but then she didn’t hesitate. She grabbed her board and started hitting the shark with everything she had. It let go.

I didn’t feel the shark bite me. I didn’t even feel the pain anymore. I just felt numb. I didn’t feel anything when my dad and Joseph dragged me to shore or when Josh used his leash to tie a tourniquet around my leg. The leg I wouldn’t have anymore.

The ambulance came fast. I still don’t remember most of it. I held onto my dad like he told me to, but all I could think was that my surfing career—everything I cared about—was gone.

---

It’s been two months since the attack, and somehow, that wild moment turned into this whole movement. The clip Gabbie recorded in my hospital room was meant as a quick update for our friends—just a two-minute thing where I explained how I was fine, that it was just a shark doing what sharks do. But it spread faster than any of us expected. The local news picked it up first, then some bigger outlets, and soon strangers from everywhere were tagging me in posts, turning my words into some message about resilience and protecting marine life.

Nat Geo even reached out. Reporters called, organizations tagged me in shark conservation posts, and by the time I left the hospital, it felt like the whole world had an eye on what I’d do next. For a girl who just loved surfing, the attention was bizarre, but a part of me couldn’t help feeling proud. I’d gone through something brutal, and somehow, it had turned into something bigger.

Now I’m home. Dad and I walk into Kalypso’s, the whole place packed with people I know: the bar staff, some of Dad’s buddies from the fire station, the kids I used to teach in surf classes, even old high school friends. Everyone is there, and for the first time since the accident, everything feels almost normal.

Jake, Kalypso’s owner, is the first to spot me, pulling me into a huge hug. “There she is! The girl of the hour!” he says, grinning, and I feel that familiar warmth from all the years we’ve spent in this place. Soon, Dad’s friends are slapping him on the back, talking about how they couldn’t believe he’d raised such a “local legend,” while kids I used to teach surf lessons to run up for high fives, all excited and starry-eyed.

Then I spot Gabbie and Josh standing in the back, and they rush over. Gabbie hugs me so tightly I can barely breathe, her voice already breaking. “You have no idea how proud I am of you,” she whispers. Josh, who’s usually got a laugh or some dumb joke ready, just gives me a quiet hug, and I sense something’s off, but I brush it aside. I’m home, surrounded by the people I love. That’s all that matters tonight.

---

A few days later, I’m back at the beach, determined to get on my board again. The waves are small, nothing intimidating, and Dad’s here with me, steady and calm, like he’s always been.

But as soon as I try to paddle out, I feel the difference. My balance is shaky, my movements off. The prosthetic feels heavier, like it’s dragging me down, and each wave that crashes against me just throws me further off. I can’t get it right. Frustration bubbles up, and soon, I’m slapping the water, my voice shaking as I mutter, “Come on… just work with me here.”

Dad paddles over, giving me a steady look. “Take it easy, Ken. You’ve been through a lot.”

But the words just make me feel worse. I don’t want to “take it easy”—I want to feel normal again. My whole life, the ocean has been where I felt most at home, and now it feels like a stranger. I swallow back the frustration, watching the waves roll on without me, wondering if I’ll ever truly belong here again.

---

Later, as I’m heading back to my car, still damp and salty from the ocean, I spot Ashlund leaning against her truck in the parking lot. She watches me for a second, then pushes off and walks toward me with her phone in hand. She doesn’t bother with small talk—just holds it out, her face unreadable.

“Here,” she says, her tone flat.

I frown but take the phone, glancing down. A video is paused on the screen, and I already feel a sinking feeling in my stomach. I hit play, and there it is—Josh and Gabbie, on a beach, laughing together, her leaning into him. And then, clear as day, they’re kissing.

I don’t have words. Just this hollow feeling growing in my chest. I hand the phone back, and Ashlund raises an eyebrow, looking almost smug.

“Thought you’d want to know,” she says, her voice laced with something sharp.

I walk away, numb. For so long, I’ve been focused on staying strong, on pushing through the pain and finding my way back to the things I love. But this? This feels like a different kind of hurt.

---

That night, I sit alone in my room, staring at my surfboard, wondering if I’ll ever ride the waves the way I used to. I feel raw, as though the ocean has slipped away from me just when I need it most. And two of the people I thought would be there for me, are gone too.

Just as I’m sinking into that hollow feeling, my phone buzzes with a notification. It’s an email from a sender I don’t recognize, but the subject catches my eye immediately: “Steve Irwin Gala Invitation.”

I open it, my pulse quickening as I read the details. The invitation is to a gala in Las Vegas, celebrating wildlife conservation efforts, with Robert Irwin himself as the main speaker. They want me to come as a guest of honor, to speak on my story, and how it’s inspired others.

The ache in my chest lightens, just a little, replaced by a spark of excitement.

"Yeah sorry I'm late I just I slept in how are the cross today?" You ask your mind flashing back to your dream of sharing such a private and intimate moment shared with a dream version of robert.

"They are okay I've got a dinner tonight was wondering if maybe you wanna come with?" Robert asks rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.

"Oh yeah sure what's the dinner for?" You ask fidgeting with your hands.

"Who's all gonna be there I would hate to embarrass myself infront of any of them" you ask

"Well it's gonna be me obviously, bindi and chandler, my mum but from dancing with the stars, witney and her family, derek hough, jan ravtik, Jen affleck, Elaine hendricks and xotchil" robert says as you feel slightly saddened by the fact xotchil was gonna be there slightly confused why you felt like that.

"Awesome what's the dress code like" you ask shoving down your feelings

"Ooh casual I guess actually I think you should wear that blue dress you wore to bindis birthday dinner" you nod.

As you got ready you felt your anxiety get the best of you.

You decided to call robert as he walks into your room

"Hey what are you doing here?" You ask confused

"Came to escort you to the dinner of course" robert says smiling he takes your hand gently helping you to the car.

During dinner you went to the bathroom when you overhear robert talking to his mother

"Mum tonight I think I'm gonna kiss her" robert says as his mother gasps

"Really robert? I'm so happy" she says as you feel your heart shatter quickly rushing back to the table and leaving money before running off not knowing you missed part of the conversation between robert and his mother.

As you get home you kick off your shoes going to your bed you change into oversized pajamas you hear a knock on the door.

As you open your door you see robert stand there

"Hey where did you go" robert asks gently

"I didn't want to feel so single cause you were gonna kiss xotchil" you say before you can think robert kisses you

"Robert?" You ask confused

"(Y/N) I've been unloved with since that day we went rollerblading round the zoo"

"Wait that was twelve years ago you've been in love with me that long jesus" you say as he looks at you with gentle eyes

"I love you too robert" You say kissing him again as he holds you in his arms

"Be my girlfriend?" He asks softly and you nod in response.
