Chapter 9! If You Skipped Last Chapter In Order To Not Read The Violence A Brief Recap Is In The Notes

Ermergerd it’s chapter 1 of book 3! 

Chapter 2 comes out in a week!

For today's prompt, I give you the youngest I've ever drawn Jedediah. He's roughly 5 years old and has been in a test tube his whole life besides the few moments Winston takes to teach him to walk, eat, and breathe.

From day 1 Winston has kept the young boy a secret from his family. Only he knows that the day of the explosion, the day of young Kaaru's birth, a second child was born. Her twin brother.

He had given the boy a name and a purpose, knowing that the Asian archer and cowboy would never let him near their daughter unsupervised.

He named him Jedediah Sherbert Shimada-Mccree.

And his purpose?

Winston's labrat.

But the boy is dying and only one thing can save him.

Will she find him in time?

The Beginning part 17

In the morning Hanzo finds himself struggling to read the instructions on the box of formula mix, Kaaru on his hip as he squints at the tiny print in the mess hall kitchen. Genji is his saving grace as he groggily walks in and reads the instructions aloud to his brother.

“What are you even doing up this early?” Genji yawns, running his hand through his messy green hair.

“Kaaru-Seishin was fussy so I attempted to try and calm her to no avail so I’m just going down the list to see what’s wrong. Feeding her is next on the list.” He says a little too quietly for a sleep deprived insomniac.

“Kaaru-Seishin? Fire-spirit? You already named her?” Genji chuckles as his brother tries and fails to mix the formula without spilling the powder everywhere.

“Yes. I couldn’t sleep so I busied myself with finding her a name.” He says as he microwaves the bottle and adjusts his child.

“Isn’t Kaaru a boy's name?” Genji snickers.

“Yes it is but she is an odd one so I gave her an odd name to match.” He says as he tries to feed her.

Luckily for Hanzo she takes the bottle and stops fussing.

“Oh thank the dragon gods.” Hanzo sighs in relief as Genji starts to make them breakfast.

“Okay then papa, what’s first on the list of things you need to do now?” He smirks.

“Buy her a proper crib. And more diapers. And basically anything she could ever need.” Hanzo says, making his brother laugh.

“Gonna start her college fund today too?” Genji teases.

“That’s not a bad idea.” Hanzo thinks aloud.

Genji laughs at his brother, making them some waffles.

“I’ll help you pick up supplies for her, okay?” Genji chuckles and Hanzo nods, sitting at the table.

Hanzo lays the little baby on his chest as she drinks from the bottle and she nuzzles into him.

“Looks like she inherited Mccree’s love for your large pecs.” Genji teases, tickling his niece.

“I do not see that as a problem. As long as she is comfortable with me and not afraid of me.” Hanzo says tiredly.

“Why would she be afraid?” Genji asks as the baby giggles.

“Children tend to fear me whenever Jesse takes me out and we come across a few playing in the street. One may wave at Jesse but when they see me next to him they scurry away as if I might hurt them.” Hanzo sighs, playing with a bit of his daughter’s galaxy hair. “I always feared any children we may have adopted would fear me too.”

“Well, She doesn’t fear me. And I look like a cut-up raisin stuffed into the brave little toaster and spray-painted green.” Genji says, making his brother laugh.

“I suppose you’re right.” Hanzo sighs softly and looks at his little girl.

Kaaru cuddles into him and smiles up at him, making Hanzo smile.

“Such a sweetheart.” He smiles at her and rubs her cheek a little with his index. “So tiny.” He sighs as Genji serves him some waffles.

“How’s your toast of a husband?” Genji asks.

“He has yet to wake up.” Hanzo says as he holds his daughter close instead of eating.

Angela comes in and takes the baby from him.

“Go ahead and eat Hanzo. I want to get her measurements.” She says and Hanzo nods, reluctant to leave Kaaru.

The Beginning part 16

When Hanzo finishes with his shower he goes and sits with his brother to admire his small happy child rolling around in a basket full of soft pillows and blankets. 

He brushes her cheek slightly and smiles at the little thing hugging his hand with all her life as if his hands weren’t covered in years of calluses and rough with age. 

“Anija, she isn’t scared of my face.” Genji says as he watches his brother begin to get attached to his little mystery daughter. 

“That is good.” Hanzo sniffs, becoming teary-eyed as his child nuzzles into his hand.

Meanwhile, in Winston’s lab, he’s cleaning up the wreckage of his freshest failure.

A faint whisper enters his ears as he suddenly notices a trash bin moving and making fussy noises. 

When he removes some of the trash he finds another infant. A boy covered from head to toe in soot and grime. 

Winston picks him up and looks him over, his brown hair looking black from all the dirt and gross covering him. 

Another whisper flows into his ears and Winston looks around before hiding the child away in a test tube labeled “Jedediah”. 

Just like the whispers had instructed as he goes back to cleaning up his mess, acting as if he hadn’t just stolen a child away from his family. 

~~~~~~~

Hanzo sighs as he spends the night watching over his child, too afraid to sleep and wake up to her basket being empty and it all having been a dream. 

And she stays up too, watching her parent watch her and the sky, cooing at the moon that shines through the window and the wispy clouds that look like fire when they cover the moon to take away some of the light. 

Hanzo looks up at the sky and chuckles.

“It would seem only fitting to name you after the sky with your hair the way it is.” He says, picking her up and holding her in his arms softly. 

He sighs a little, remembering she couldn’t hear him. 

“Or perhaps I should name you after your flaws, as my mother did to me,” He starts but begins to think about it. “No, that would be no name for a sweet little girl. Not one as beautiful as you. Even with such fantastic hair. Perhaps, Aiko?” He says and she makes a silly face. 

He chuckles and adjusts how he’s holding her. 

“Perhaps not. Hmm. What about, Asami?” He says and she makes another silly face. “I see you have a wide array of expressions, little one. Perhaps you have your cowboy father’s fiery spirit too.” He lifts her up, making her giggle. “Actually, that may not be a bad name. Kaaru-Seishin. It’s not female but it matches your sweet little personality. And for a middle name, we must go with the theme of your impossible hair to match your impossible existence. Mizuki should do the trick.” He smiles at her and holds her close. “Kaaru-Seishin Mizuki Shimada-Mccree. Yes, that fits you nicely. And we’ll call you Kaaru for short, my little dumpling.” He smiles before laying her back down in the basket. “Time to rest my little dumpling. In the morning we will go get you a proper bed and some little toys for you to hold while you sleep.” He says, smiling before going to his own bed with the basket, his comatose husband still deep asleep and unresponsive. 

“Soon my love, you will meet our little girl.” He sighs and lays close to his husband.

I will gladly be punched in the face once if not multiple times just to respectfully simp for her.

Unbaked

How do you like your beans?

*slams hand on table*

These are going in my BwL series

Faz Food timeeee~!

First one was just one I made up cuz I wanted to draw pudding, second actually appears in the game (you can find it in Monty’s room) and the final one is on the menu of the Fazz-Pad u3u

How shall I begin?

So, recently I've been mulling over actually starting to post Kaaru's story, starting with her birth, BUT, I have no idea if I should. I would love to share the characters I've created but I'm simply worried that I might now give her enough substance or too much. Kaaru and Jedediah are very complex people and I've put nearly 2 years into their development. I'm just nervous of posting anything. I'm just in need of some positive feedback about it because I dont even know if anyone wants to learn more.

Please let me know.
