11. Who has a harder time getting the baby to eat their food?12. Who ends up having to hold whatever half-eaten snack the baby didn’t want anymore? 13. Who checks under the bed for monsters? for the parenting asks!
I’m going to answer these for my very wacky SerSolAdaar baby being raised by the entire Inquisition (it’s complicated, and I will never publish any of it to AO3 in any logical format, but you can read something I threw away on a Thursday once for this completely cracked out world state in which my Sera-mancing Adaar ends up accidentally conceiving a baby in the Fade with Solas). This scenario was actually my first foray into writing fan fiction (or at least knowingly doing so), which was always meant to just be a thing I did by myself and never told anyone about, but like, then stuff happened and now I actually share my writing with people...weird.
11. Who has a harder time getting the baby to eat their food?
Solas is the worst at it. He doesn’t understand why the baby won’t just eat. He wonders if maybe the child has lost their will to live, being born separate from the Fade where it was conceived. And he worries it might be his fault, but he would never say so. Sera mostly just gives it cookies, so of course the baby noms those down. And Adaar has no problem giving the boob whenever her baby is hungry. During War Table meetings, while addressing the troops, during diplomatic visits...Josephine, Cullen, and Leliana all dare anyone to raise an eyebrow or say anything about it.
12. Who ends up having to hold whatever half-eaten snack the baby didn’t want anymore?
Dorian. If he’s around. He falls for it every time. Baby hands him something, and he just takes it. “Ew! What even is this?! And why is it so sticky?!” Cole will sometimes nibble a little bite off and tell him.
13. Who checks under the bed for monsters?
The Iron Bull and Blackwall fight over who gets to do this one on a nightly basis. Sometimes, they accuse each other of being the monsters under the bed, which baby thinks is HILARIOUS. Squealing baby laughter and hand-clapping hilarious.
