Si in the au in which nya and Kai are the chimerashiping children how do their parents finde them and how do they start bonding as a family?

Oh shit! Someone is actually interested in my lil au, I never would've guessed!

So I will preface that I came up with this au back when I was only on S3 of Ninjago and I still haven't caught up on all the seasons. I've watched up to a couple of episodes in S8 before I got distracted by school but I do wanna see the show through! Okay, now that disclaimers are out of the way-

In my au, Kai and Nya were raised by Chimera from the start! Ray and Maya aren't in the picture, even as adoptive parents because I feel like there are too many potential baby hijinks I couldn't pass up on thinking bout with Chimera. So here are few baby hc's, just for you anon!

Red built a special babysitter bull clone just to look after Kai and Nya when they were little. With Kai and Nya discovering their elemental powers earlier than canon, the poor clone has been through the wringer.

MK and Mei nearly had a heart attack the first time baby Kai crawled through DBK's lava curtain cause they had no idea Kai inherited Red's resistance. Kai also inherited MK's stone monkey tendency to sink like a rock whenever he's in water- a discovery Chimera made during a visit to the weather station when Dragonfruit was trying to convince MK to put on sunscreen properly cause “we need to set an example for Kai! If you don’t take it seriously, he won’t either!”. Kai wandered off while they were bickering, eager to cool off and when they heard a little squeal and splash, Chimera jumped into a panic mood. Turns out he was fine but now Kai can't go near a pool without one of his parents hovering with some floaties lol

Mei initially had no intention of carrying any kids for the trio- at least until she held baby Kai in her arms for the first time and turned to Red like "I want one"

Toddler Kai and Nya have a dragon and monkey onesie respectively cause they wanted to look like their other mama/baba

Not baby related but I like to think in this au because Nya was raised by Chimera, instead of Samurai X, her mech is inspired by Mei's dragon heritage!
