I love writing these scenarios x3
Reinhardt sits down once he reaches the plane, the seat groaning under his weight. He lets out a long sigh as he sets his hammer down.
The mission should have been an easy escort mission, but the information they got turned out to be wrong. Next thing he knew, they were fighting off Talon soldiers. Fortunately they were able to complete the mission. Exhausted, he settles into the seat and closes his eyes for a few minutes trying to relax.
“Are you ok?” says a voice next to him. He opens his eyes and sees Mercy, she weakly smiles at him as she takes a seat next to him.
He returns the smile, “Aha! I’m doing well. But,” he leans closer down to her, “to be honest, I’m just a tad bit exhausted.”
Mercy giggles at his comment. Reinhardt was always great making people smile.
Once all the agents arrive and are seated, the plane soon takes off. It’s during this time that Reinhardt will call you to let you know that he is on his way home.
However, when he reaches for the phone he sees that there are several missed calls from you and a message.
He quickly plays it, worried at all the missed calls.
“Hey Reinhardt,” you says through labored breaths. “Now, please don’t overact though you probably already are,” you chuckle.
“But the baby is coming! I know its a few weeks early but looks like our kid couldn’t wait anymore. I love you Reinhardt, and when you return home, we’ll both be waiting for you.”
Mercy is already standing up and standing in front of Reinhardt, ready to calm him down.
“Now Reinhardt, you heard what she said, there is nothing to worry about. I’ve checked before as well so—”
For a moment, there is no sound in the world, only the realization that he’s about to be a father, or could already be a father! And he’s not even there to hold your hand and see his child be born!
“Can’t this plane move any faster!” he says quickly standing up and moving to the cockpit.
Mercy grabs his arm to stop him but finds her being lifted instead. Soldier 76, quietly observing from the corner, sees them and dashes to Reinhardt. He orders Ana to hit him with a dart if he can’t stop him. Ana gets her dart ready.
Jack stops in front of Reinhardt, and he glares at the towering giant.
“Reinhardt stand down, you’re not thinking straight! She’s fine and waiting for you! Do you really want to upset her like this?”
He stops in front of Jack, staring down at him. His head and shoulders slump down as he lets out a sigh.
“Come Reinhardt,” Mercy coaxes him, “let’s get you back to your seat.” She rubs his forearms as she leads him back.
“We should be celebrating! You’re a father now!” she says happily.
Once seated he looks at her, giving her a huge smile and loud laugh.
“You know what? You’re right!” He cups his hands in front of his mouth and yells: “I’m a father!”
Tracer yells her congratulations, Lucio asks what name they had picked out, Ana asks if they need any advice on raising children to ask her.
Reinhardt smiles at his friends around him, happy to share this moment with them.
“Something wrong?” Mercy asks.
“I just wish I was there with her is all. But knowing that I will have a family to come back to is the greatest feeling in the world,” he says as he looks at his phone and begins to look at your picture.
“Hey honey, please don’t freak out,” your breathing hitches as you try to calm yourself, “but I’m about to have the baby!” You laugh into the phone. “Everything is going to be fine ok? We’ll be here when you come home. Love you.”
“What the hell am I s’pose to do Ana?” McCree yells.
When he got the call that you were in labor he began to pace back and forth on the plane.
“I knew this was going to happen, but this is too soon. The kid is too early! What if something goes wrong? Or the baby is sick?”
“Oh come now Jesse,” she scolds him. Ana pats the seat next to her, and Jesse complies without argument.
He thumbs the edge of his hat, tapping his foot. Ana silently drinks her tea next to him.
“What if when I get there and they ask me to hold the kid? I ain’t ever held a baby, what if I do it wrong?” he questions her, the desperation in his voice apparent.
Ana gives him a small smile and pats his shoulder with her free hand.
“Trust me you will.” He looks at her and she laughs.
“Don’t go making a joke like that! I’m nervous enough as it is, I don’t need you teasing me like this,” he groans in his hands.
Ana sets her tea down and turns to McCree.
“Jesse, you are a new father. Your wife is a new mother. You two are new parents. Being a parent does not come with a manual or training, it’s more of a learn as you go. All you can do is prepare as much as you before you become a parent,” she gives a slight squeeze on his shoulder.
“Trust me, everything will be fine.”
He takes a deep breath to calm himself and looks up at Ana. He gives her a weak smile.
“Anytime,” she goes back to drinking her tea. “And congratulations on becoming a father,” she says before sipping her tea.
Jesse gazes down at his wedding ring, turning it a few times and smiles.
“I’ll be home soon darlin’.”
“Brother, while I understand your hesitation, I need to know why you are acting strange, or at least stranger than usual,” Genji says as he looks down at Hanzo.
Hanzo had become eerily quiet once the plane had taken off, as if he expected something to happen. He closed his eyes and crossed his arms, his breathing was off and he had started tapping his foot, seeming impatient about something, which was unusual for him.
Genji noticed the change immediately and became worried.
Hanzo doesn’t open his eyes when Genji asks his question, nor does he answer the question.
“Hanzo, please, I need to know you are well,” Genji pleads.
He continues to stay silent. Genji sighs and begins to walk away.
Genji stops and turns around to see Hanzo looking down, he looked so worried. Genji opened his mouth to say something but Hanzo speaks.
“I received the message today, and…,” He lets out a shaky breath, “I’m worried about her and the child. She’s told me that everything will be fine, but I can’t help and worry. I’m not there with her.”
Genji leans against the wall next to Hanzo, thinking what to say next. What can he say? He has never been in this situation and to see Hanzo anything other than stoic.
“Hanzo,” he rubbed the back of his neck, “I know that this is a stressful position you’re in right now, but can I ask you something?”
Hanzo stares at Genji, waiting for his question.
“Of course I do,” he says trying to control the volume of his voice. How dare Genji question his trust for you!
“Then trust her when she says everything will be fine. You’ll be home soon, in the arms of the two people you love.”
Hanzo settled into the seat, the tension in his shoulders seem to just melt away. He seems to have calmed down some. Hanzo gives a small smile and looks back at Genji.
“Of course,” he says still leaning against the wall. “I suppose this means I am an uncle as well.” He chuckles.
“I suppose so,” he looks away ashamed, “You are more than welcome to visit and see them.”
Genji smiles, and chuckles at his brother, “I think I’d like that.”
