the kids playing a video game and needing Max to help them??

good thing my current obsession is bg3

"No, look over there!"

"It's not there, we've already looked!"

"Well, look again!"

"You go look!"

Evie half-heartedly kicks in Flynn's direction, but he pulls his thigh away just in time, holding the playstation controller up and out of her reach.

"Open the map," Jakob suggests, pointing to Evie's side of the split screen.

"I've already tried that," she grumbles, but does it again. "Let's just leave her."

"No!" Flynn protests, "We can't just leave her in this pod things, that's so mean!"

"Well, what else are we gonna do? We're too stupid to find some god damn keys!"

They look at each other for a long moment, a silent agreement passing between them.

Jakob stands up from the bed with a serious expression. "I'll go get Mom."

"What is it?" Max asks, still wiping his hands on his shirt as he enters Evie's room. Man, it smells like teenager in here; he opens a window before doing anything else.

The triplets all look at him with similar "Mama please" eyes which still work even at sixteen. "Can you help us with our game?"

Max can't help but laugh. "Sure. What's the problem." They scramble apart to make space for him in Evie's nest as he sits down. Flynn hands him his controller instantly.

"So, we've got to free this girl in the pod from a bunch of mindflayers, they put a worm in our heads and probably in hers too. And we need a key or something to open the pod that she's in, and we can't find it!"

"I wanted to leave her, but Flynn wants to free her so he can romance her!" Evie taunts her brother. Max intercepts when he reaches over to pull her hair.

"We've already tried looking everywhere, but can't find the keys," Jakob says.

Max takes a second to familiarize himself with the controls; it's still intuitive.

"Ok, let's go," he says, sending the character running. Flynn's character looks very human, with brown curls like his. Evie's character, meanwhile, is an enormous, muscular creature with horns and pink hair. Figures.

The kids talk him through what they've already tried; it takes Max only about three minutes to find the key they missed before, prompting groans from all three of them.

"How did you do this?!"

Max just gives a shrug and a smirk. "Magic. ...and tons of practice when I was your age."

Evie huffs, but then leans into Max for a second. "Thanks."

"Thank you, Mama," Flynn and Jakob echo in unison.

"You're welcome," Max replies, and continues on with the rest of his afternoon feeling quite smug, actually.

The triplets being triplets. Entertaining themselves and making space for each other, maybe all of them huddled in Evie's nest while they each do their own thing but all of them next to each other

It was suspiciously quiet in the house for the morning of the 24th of December. Isabel and Riley were finally at the age where teenagers loved sleeping in more than anything, and Jasper had fallen back asleep in the baby sling around Max’s chest, his little head leaning against his clavicle. Max kissed his forehead gently, and allowed himself a few seconds to just breathe in the silence of the house. Through the living room window, he could see the New House, all blinds still drawn, nobody awake yet either.

The fact that the triplets and Luna (who had stayed overnight at the Old House with Evie) were still asleep seemed almost impossible, and Max could feel the creeping anxiety in the back of his brain about it. With this many pups, silence was not always a good thing. So he chose to investigate.

The door to both Flynn’s and Jakob’s rooms stood open, and the only one snoozing in Flynn’s bed was Elfie Cat, blissfully curled up in an indentation in the cozy duvet.

Outside of Evie’s door, Max stood and listened for a few seconds. There was movement, but it was all very, very quiet. The door was slightly ajar, and Max gently pushed it open just a little further.

He didn’t know what he was expecting, but the scene that unfolded before him was so peaceful and sweet that it drove tears into his eyes immediately.

The kids had dragged all available blankets, pillows and duvets in the middle of the room, making one big nest that could fit them all, and were all four snuggled up inside it. Evie and Flynn were playing on their switches, Jakob was, of course, reading (he had a small selection of books next to him, he liked to rotate through them), and Luna was curled up not unlike the cat, her black hair splayed over her face as she slept some more with her head on Flynn’s knee.

Max immediately felt himself become emotional, tears welling up in his eyes as he tried to close the door as quietly as he could and sneak away without them hearing him so they would stay in their peaceful little nest for a bit longer.

Mini Summer VV Event: Part 3

Another oneshot… I’ve been in a pup-centric mood for weeks now, so here ya go!

fluff//quadruplet-centric//tw: insects

— 🐞—

„What are you four doing?“ Daniel leans against the rake, sticking its spikes into the warm, soft earth under him.

„Looking for bugs!“ Evie says. The „Duh, Dad!“ is implied. She’s absolutely covered in dirt, even her blond hair that is sticking out from under her hat is caked with it.

Her, Flynn and Luna are all climbing the pile of manure outside the barn; Flynn and Luna both don’t look much cleaner than Evie.

„We’re categorizing them,“ Jakob says like it’s obvious. He’s sitting cross-legged in the tub of a wheelbarrow, his glasses having slipped down his nose. He doesn’t like getting dirty, but it looks like they’ve found the perfect job for him. The notebook in his lap is covered in his neat handwriting and little drawings of what Daniel assumes is different bugs and worms.

„We’ve found nineteen earthworms already!“ Flynn exclaims, giving Daniel a big, gap-toothed smile. He’s currently missing both front teeth, and it just adds to his rascally looks. Like looking into a time travel mirror for Daniel.

„Wow,“ Daniel grins, „That’s a lot of earthworms.“

„They’re making good soil for the garden!“ Luna gently lifts a worm into her palm, looking at it fondly.

„There’s also lots of ladybugs,“ Evie adds, but Flynn cuts her off, „And dung beetles!“

„Lotsa bugs in there, huh?“ Daniel grins. Sometimes he’s overcome with love for the kids; him and Michelle always got along, but their age difference and difference in interests was always a bit awkward. Meanwhile these four are as thick as thieves.

„Yes, they like it in there,“ Jakob states, matter-of-factly, „It’s their home.“

„Their Bug Kingdom!“ Evie roars, thrusting her fists into the air, making Luna giggle. „I’ll be the bug knight!“

„I wanna be a bug knight, too!“ Flynn demands, and Luna scrambles to her feet, almost slipping on all the dirt, „Can I be the bug princess?“

„Bugs don’t live in a monarchy!“ Jakob protests, but then hesitates, „…although bees have a queen.“

„We’re playing pretend!“ Flynn tells him, jumping off the pile, reaching out for Jakob after wiping his dirty hands on his shorts, „Come on, you can think of the story!“ That lights up Jakob’s face. He doesn’t always get the games the others play, but they’ve long since figured out that he is great at thinking of story lines for their play pretend.

„The bug princess needs saving!“

„Let’s ask Riley if he wants to be the butterfly queen!“

They run off together, leaving a trail of manure, straw and dirt behind.

Daniel watches them go with a grin on his face.

They’ve had their fair share of trouble with these four, but Daniel thinks maybe they’ve done some things right, too.

Around the time luna & the triplets are born the pack alphas & pierre not wearing shirts much because they're trying to give the babies (especially Luna) more than enough skin to skin while also letting Lando and Max rest.

You say it’s because of skin to skin, I say it’s because nobody does laundry during that time. /j

with four babies around the house, there is one for each of them… all three alphas and pierre constantly with a baby attached to their skin… Carlos starts shaving his chest hair again because it makes the babies sneeze. At some point, Michael orders 4 baby slings so they can go about their day normally with a pup attached to them… Daniel farming with baby jakob attached to his chest… Michael working out with baby flynn who falls asleep when Michael does squats…

My friend gave me The Autism Cookbook and I'm just so 🥰🥺♥️

And like... imagine Dan and Max getting something like that for the triplets when they move out, especially Jakob... because it has clear instructions, it says what tools and even how many spoons you'll need for this recipe, if it's suitable for people who have sensory issues... max being so proud when Jakob sends him a photo of a meal he cooked in his first own apartment 🥺

please tell us more about our favourite neurodivergent triplets

I love them so much <3 warning: this contains some angst regarding the parenting of ND children

So, Evie and Flynn have ADHD, and Jakob has autism. Before they get the diagnoses, it’s a real struggle; Max and Dan are overwhelmed by suddenly having 5 children, Charles, Pierre and Michael help them out a lot of course but 1. Lando had Luna around the same time and since the birth was so tough he needs a LOT of help with her 2. Max and Dan want to give all of their kids enough attention, they don’t want the twins to feel like they’re being pushed aside and get less love now that they have younger siblings.

They do their very very best, but since they just don’t know how to handle ND children (of course! most parents have no idea!) and there’s 3 of them, it escalates a lot. They’re incredibly likeable and cute children but there’s meltdowns and food issues and sleep issues and sensory issues and it’s just A Lot. They find ways to deal with it for most things, but sometimes it’s just so overwhelming that Max just needs a good, secret cry in the pantry away from his children.

I think there’s something about Flynn’s high energy/low concentration behavior that sometimes really sets Daniel off, they get into a few fights even though Daniel loves him so dearly. Until one day Grace makes an off-hand remark that Flynn is 100% a mini Daniel; Daniel was just like this as a kid. And that’s really eye opening for Daniel, because Flynn just displays so many qualities that were trained or shamed out of Daniel when he was a kid (eventually) and so he promises to do better and embrace his son as he is.

Unfortunately, it escalates really badly one time, because Max is just overwhelmed and Daniel is too (but he always has the possibility to „hide“ at work) and it just all comes crashing down. They make an appointment with a pediatrician the next day and finally, the triplets are eventually diagnosed. It makes it a lot better for everyone to handle, they all go to occupational therapy, Flynn gets some meds, they find an ADHD omega playgroup for Evie so she has an easier time making friends, they learn better ways to deal with Jakob’s food and sensory issues and his nonverbal behavior, and they learn how to handle meltdowns properly. Also I think both Max and Dan get some therapy themselves because there’s just a lot coming up.

asdfghjk this was probably way more than you bargained for lmao sorry, I could go on for ages, I could literally write an essay
