Their Dad Moments
Let's take a look at my headcanons for RiDe and TaNi when they have their moments that no parenting book could prepare them for :p
RiDe
Dempsey tried his hand at cooking breakfast for the family when Richtofen overslept. Richtofen and Joseph woke up to the sound of screaming and both boys watched in shock as Dempsey chucked the pan of burnt pancake batter out the window.
Richtofen wasn't paying attention when Joseph began to steal his medical tools. The man caught the boy trying to open up Samantha's teddy bear. She has yet to forgive them and Richtofen makes sure to keep his tools away from Joseph.
Joseph has the tendency to sleep on the floors randomly. Yes, the men have accidentally stepped on him and have to make up for it each and every time. Joseph enjoys it.
Richtofen was cutting Joseph's hair one time and he was so sleepy that he didn't realize that he shaved off half of Joseph's hair. Dempsey was dying and Joseph didn't want to talk to him until his hair grew back.
Dempsey didn't see the pink sock with everyone's white shirts. They all matched, even though Richtofen and Joseph gave him death glares.
They caught their son eating snacks in bed. Instead of berating him, they joined him and put a movie on. One time thing though.
Dempsey threw a football too hard at Joseph that it knocked him down on impact. Joseph said it was okay, but Richtofen made sure he didn't get off the hook.
Richtofen has gotten competitive with Joseph now because the boy eats his strawberry jam. It's a race on who gets to it first. Dempsey watches of course.
Dempsey accidentally gave Joseph soda before bed. Joseph was so hyper that Richtofen had to make him run laps in the backyard until he got tired. It never happened and Richtofen and Dempsey stayed up watching the boy run in circles.
TaNi
Takeo and Nikolai basically have to check their twins to see if they brought any animals in the house. Nikolai had to chase off a bear cub. Takeo and the twins watched in silence as Nikolai screamed and flailed his arms everywhere like a madman.
Their twins have gotten into Nikolai's secret stash of vodka. The look on Takeo's face to everyone made the situation a whole lot worse. Nikolai and the twins regretted everything.
Takeo accidentally killed the boys' lizard. They weren't home at the time so Takeo had to go out and find a replacement that looked exactly like it. They've noticed, but they'll take when they saw how Takeo looked after a long day in the wilderness.
Nikolai and Takeo occasionally burn food that the twins just sit down and enjoy the show that their dads make when they shout at the other in their own languages while pointing at the ever growing fire.
The pink sock incident happened to them and no one wanted to get out the house wearing pink. Takeo made them of course even though he regretted it when Dempsey started laughing.
Takeo and Nikolai do tell bedtime stories...many that are not child friendly, but the twins love them. So much so they tried to reenact one with Joseph. No one was safe; Richtofen/Dempsey vs Takeo/Nikolai was the best thing for the twins and Joseph to witness.
The twins curse and Nikolai and Takeo are still wondering who messed up. It was Dempsey, of course! (But they still don't know)
Takeo found the boys up late at night. He found Nikolai with them and he simply rolled his eyes and joined them. He grounded them in the morning.
The twins got a hold of Takeo's katana and as a result, Nikolai had to distract him when the boys accidentally lost it when they tried to stab fish and the stream took it away. No one slept that night, especially when they all knew Takeo was up waiting for anyone to try to get up and get the katana back from the woods.
In conclusion: The dads need all the help and strength that they can get, the twins find it enjoyable, and Joseph's watching the chaos unfold...and he finds it enjoyable too. Also Takeo as a father is a scary man.
