What if Izzy was a daddy?
Ive been having this sweet little dream about Izzy and his wife, with a little boy called River 🫶
Izzy Stradlin and his wife Y/N never really planned on a quiet life, it just kinda happened slowly, in between tours, late nights, and everything they thought would define them. Now their world is smaller, warmer, and a lot louder in different ways
Their three year old son, River, runs the house with sticky hands, endless questions, and laughter that fills every corner. Izzy, once lost in chaos and music, is now learning softness in the shape of bedtime stories and toy strewn floors
And somehow, this life feels more real than anything before it
Well, is true when they say that children are always hearing you, because its late at night and River just found out Slashs real name is actually Saul, so you and izzy had to pass the last 40 minutes explaining to him why
“Well, Dada and Mama also have nicknames. Do you know why Grandma and Grandpa call Dada “Jeff”? His real name is Jeffrey” you tell River
He slowly turns toward Izzy
Then back toward Izzy again
Izzy is already laughing “Yeah, kid?”
“A long time ago, somebody decided it was.”
River looks genuinely betrayed “No.”
River points dramatically “Youre Izzy.”
Izzy shrugs “Tell that to my birth certificate”
His tiny brain is working overtime.
River stares “How many names do you have?”
you laugh “It is a little confusing, huh?”
River immediately cuddles Bunny, his plushie, tighter
River nods firmly “Good system” and then he looks at you “Mama?”
“Is Y/N your secret name?”
You smile “It’s one of my names”
River gasps “EVERYBODY HAS SECRET NAMES!”
“Not exactly-” you star but hes already committed to the theory
he points at himself “Do I have secret name?”
You and Izzy exchange a look “Well,” you say “your full name is River
But for your surprise, he actually looks delighted
Izzy laughs so hard he has to lean back on his hands “What did you win?”
River grins proudly, then his expression softens and he scoots closer to Izzy and climbs into his lap without warning
Izzy immediately groans “Oh no.”
“You are never letting this go, are you?”
Rivers grin becomes absolutely WICKED “No.”
You burst down laughing and River looks incredibly satisfied with himself, then he pats Izzy’s cheek “Dont worry, Jeffrey”
Izzy covers his face “Please stop calling me Jeffrey”
For approximately one second
Then he leans forward and whispers loudly: “Okay, Jeffrey”
The room erupts into laughter, even River starts giggling so hard he nearly falls sideways into Bunny
And for the next several minutes, every time Izzy least expects it, a tiny voice pops up from somewhere nearby: “…Jeffrey”
Followed by an uncontrollable toddler laughter
