Little Pumpkin

Summary: Druig and Clío take Melody to her first pumpkin patch with Phastos and his family in tow

Warnings: Nothing but fluff coming your way! This is part of my Druig, Clío and Melody series found Here

"What kind of pumpkin should we get her, Aunt Clío?"

"Well, I think we should get Melody a little one that she can hold, don't you think?"

Jack nodded in agreement as you were all walking up to the massive pumpkin patch that was stretched out in front of you. Melody was walking while holding your hand, her 2 year old eyes were massive with all the pumpkins around her while Phastos and Druig were walking in the front, side by side and scanning the area on where to start.

This was all Phastos's idea, mentioning it to you and Druig during one of your FaceTime sessions a month prior. There was a massive pumpkin patch right outside of town in Chicago, one of the biggest ones in the state with rides and food added. Phastos has been taking his husband and son every year, thinking it would be fun for you and Druig to take Melody. She was big enough to really explore, 2 in a half years old and ready to grab anything within reach. It seemed like a great idea to take her, to start those memories with her while she's young. Plus it gave you and Druig some time to catch up with Phastos and his family, whom were beyond supportive and helpful with you two when Melody was born.

There were plenty of people exploring the patch and already getting their pumpkins, some with wagons that were filled to the brim and other just holding them in their arms. Phastos's husband Ben was pulling a smaller wagon behind him, figuring it was smart to load all the pumpkins together.

"They got smaller ones over here for her to pick from," Phastos explained to you and Druig, pointing to a smaller patch that had tiny pumpkins. You all followed him, Melody looking at everything with her big blue eyes and beyond excited to release your hand and touch all the pumpkins. Her thick brown hair was to her shoulders, made in two thick braids and under a beanie that Druig placed on her head to make sure she didn't catch a cold.

"Look, Petal. These ones are just your size!" You said to her as you approached the baby pumpkin garden, "Go look for one you like,"

As soon as you released her hand, she was off.

Laughing as she went, she was running full speed with Jack on her heels, looking at every little pumpkin and not knowing where to start first. You stood off to the side with a massive smile, seeing how stimulated she was in every single kind of pumpkin in front of her. Druig was just as entertained, taking out his phone to take some pictures and was following her to keep and eye.

"DA! Look, Da!" she said in excitement to Druig as she pointed to a tiny one whilst tugging at his hand. Druig knelt down to see her pick it up and shove it in his face, "It's little!"

"That it is," Druig hummed in agreement, Melody placing it back on the ground and looking for another one with a pep in her step. Druig stayed right behind her, watching with his intrigued eyes and a smirk on his face. It looked like such a contrast with the pair of them, Druig clad in his leather jacket and black pants with his boots and hands shoved in his pockets, and Melody in her bright yellow jacket and her green beanie covering her thick hair with a massive smile. But they looked picture perfect together making you sneak in a picture or tow of them interaction together and looking at some pumpkins that caught your daughter's eye.

Ever since you two became parents, you thought of every moment with Melody as sacred. Perhaps it was mere the notion of Melody being a natural miracle, a miracle that neither one of your thought you could ever have as Eternals. It was still a lingering question as to how it was possible, after all your time on Earth, that you had a child now. That you had a child in general.

But you two wanted to savor every little moment with her, not caring if that was seen as sappy or stereotypical as new parents. You were after all, taking pictures of every little thing she did and making sure her childhood would be filled with love and joy. Thankfully, Phastos knew exactly that same feeling with his own son, not judging you two for a second but choosing to help guide you along the journey. So this pumpkin patch would be a new tradition for her to grow and love.

"She's getting big," Phastos said in a snort as he stood next to you, watching your husband and daughter look at every pumpkin, "And I swear, she looks just like her dad. That's a scary thought, isn't it?"

You slapped Phastos on the shoulder as he chuckled, "I happen to like her dad, thank you,"

"And I do too, Clío. He's a good dad," He said to you, having you smirk as you watched Druig show Melody another pumpkin with his fingers, Melody holding it in her hands to inspect it herself. He looked to relaxed with her, his eyes intrigued with his daughter and his genuine smile that seemed so massive etched on his face. You took another picture on your phone, knowing they wouldn't see it as you sent it to the others on the group chat. Your own heart melted from the picture, wishing to frame it and keep it forever since it showed Druig's true nature of being a father.

He loved his daughter more than reason and more than words. He would hold her for hours on end if he could, savor ever milestone that she went through, and simply do anything to make her laugh. There was never any hesitance that Druig loved children, even in the earlier years on the planet he thought of children as beyond innocent and kind. Of course he was always stoic in front of the others, but you saw him from time to time be gentle and silly with little ones just to brighten their spirits.

And now he had his own child to love on and protect.

"This one, this one!"

You waked over with Phastos as Melody was holding up a decent pumpkin to her father, barely holding it in her tiny hands as Druig took it with ease. Melody watcher her father examine it, though he was acting as though he was thinking about it long and hard.

"I don't know, Petal...is this the right one for you?" He asked in a teasing tone, Melody giggled and nodding her head.

"Please, Da? Please?!" She asked so sweetly, her eyes big and hoping he would say yes. Your heart swelled from hearing her use her manners on her father, whom just grinned at her and nodded his head.

"This is perfect, we can take this one," Druig said finally, Melody clasping her hands in joy before she saw you. She took the pumpkin from her father, waddling over to you with her new prize within her little arms to show you as you knelt in front of her.

"Look, momma! My pumpkin!" She said with pride, her little voice was so bright and filled with joy as she showed you her new pumpkin. You smiled wide.

"This is perfect for you, Mel. Wanna take it home and decorate it?" You asked her, seeing her nod her head so fast she almost dropped it. You giggled and watch her waddle to Ben's wagon to place it inside, being the every independent child that she was. As you stood up and watched her, Druig nick up next to you to lace your hands together, you both watching your little girl place her pumpkin the wagon with Ben's help.

"I think we did good with her, don't you think?" He asked, sounding amused as Melody placed her pumpkin safely in the wagon and seemed quite proud of herself. You nodded from his question, leaning your head on his shoulder and squeezing your joined hands together. It sometimes felt like dream when you would look at your daughter, thinking you were going to wake up back in the Amazon with Druig before the Emergence would begin. But she was there, her voice that was light and filled with wonder, her smile that seemed to melt any icy heart in front of her, and her simple presence that made you know that this was no dream.

Melody was yours, your little pumpkin.

"Come on, let's get some cider and warm up a bit," Druig said to you, tugging your hand as he pulled you along to join the others. Jack was grabbing a few pumpkins with Phastos, Melody standing with Ben and holding his hand to watch her Uncle and Cousin get the bigger pumpkins. You took Melody onto your hip with ease, Melody giggled and was playing with the collar on your jacket as Druig went to find some cider for your family.

You snuck a kiss onto Melody's cheek, drinking in this moment for all it's worth.

The End.
