His Three Girls (Thomas Mendez x Reader)

Choices: Mother of the Year - Thomas Mendez x Fem!Reader (MC)

Wordcount: 1.6

Warnings: fluff, so much fluff, talk of sex

Masterlist

A/N: Just because it is over doesn’t mean I’m any less trash about it. Also, sorry I’ve been MIA. Between my two jobs and my toddler, life has been kicking my ass.

Quick key:  Y/D/N - Your Daughter’s Name

Work had been exhausting. Since returning from his honeymoon — two weeks on the beach alternating between enjoying the natural beauty of the water and making slow, passionate, blissful love to his new wife over and over again — Thomas has been spending many late nights catching up on all the case work he had missed. A month now with the new Mrs. Mendez to come home to and he had yet to make it home before dinner.

But things are finally winding down. Pending any major disasters, his latest settlement offer should be accepted by the morning and Thomas could begin enjoying this beautiful chapter of his life he never thought he’d see, one where he comes home to the brilliant faces of not one but two sharp and thoughtful daughters and falls asleep at night holding the strongest, more caring woman against his chest.

Thomas sneaks into his own house, careful not to slam the door as he steps into the threshold. The winter storms are coming on now. Slick sleet is covering the streets and the strange combination of thunderstorms and flurry showers mean Thomas is a little drenched through his coat and his dress shoes need a proper polish. 

Thomas strips of his outerwear quietly and slinks into the kitchen. He looks to the clock. The numbers flash 12:00 repeatedly; power outages around the region. Thomas sighed. It could be 10 PM or 4 AM for all his brain knows. He’s just tired. 

By the time he makes it to his bedroom door, he’s ready to simply fall in— no brushing teeth or combing hair or stripping down properly. He doesn’t even think he’ll bother peppering his wife with kisses. She also deserves her rest for putting up with his schedule. But when he enters his bedroom — not his but theirs he corrects his brain — he stops dead.

The television mounted on the wall is paused on the credits of some movie he can’t recognize. The fireplace glows with embers still warm and inviting. Mugs of hot chocolate sit mostly finished upon his nightstand. And in the middle of the mattress lay his wife — god, she really is stunning — dressed in her warmest pajamas deep in sleep. On her right lays Y/D/N, nuzzling into her mother’s shoulder and smiling in her sleep. And on his wife’s left is Luz, clinking gently to her stepmom’s hips as she rests her head against her rib cage.

Thomas blinks as he feels tears swell in his eyes. His life, his content but bland life, exploded when Y/N came into it. He really never believed love would find him again but there was no stopping the way you wormed into his mind, warmed his heart, and sent his loins to attention. You reminded him that he was a man, a man capable of loving a woman with every bit of himself, loss or no. And to see you here, in his life, filling it with the kinds of simple joys that make it all worth living, was enough to make him weak for the moment.

My girls. 

With a sigh, one of both resignation and longing, Thomas moves slowly to the bed. He kisses his daughter, and then yours, upon the forehead, before turning his attention to you. 

He takes in your face, the soft lines and plump curves that he is enjoying memorizing every morning. He brushes a hand across your forehead, pushing away the loose hairs before offering you, in all your perfect motherly essence, a forehead kiss as well.

And with one last look upon his perfect new life, Thomas leaves his room for his office, where he makes do on the sofa bed for the night. 

The next morning, Thomas awakens to the smell of pancakes and sausage wafting his way from the kitchen. He hears the laughter of his daughter and the soft hums of you as you undoubtedly sing one of Levi’s new songs as you scramble eggs. His life really was turning into something immeasurably happy. 

He only takes a few moments getting ready before he joins you in the kitchen, surprising you with a tight grab around the waist.

“How’d you sleep, Mrs. Mendez?” he purred in your ear, his fingers dancing across the fabric of your apron.

You turn in his hold, a wide smile on your face. “You’re never going to tire of calling me that, are you?” 

Thomas just laughs, “No, I won’t, not so long as that title is yours.”

He kisses you then, full and passionate as he clings to your waist. It’s enough to make you lightheaded if not for the girls interrupting from their place at the barstools.

“We slept great, dad,” Y/D/N pipes up. It still warms Thomas to hear her call him that. Sure, she has Guy now but Thomas likes to believe he is more of a father than that oaf ever could be. And the day your daughter approached him after dinner and asked if she could call him dad was the night be decided it was finally time to give you the engagement ring he’d been holding onto for months, since your third real date without the girls. It hadn’t taken him long to know you were the one. It just took him some time to figure out how it all might fit together.

Luz lets out a laugh, “Yeah, Mom had us watch some movie called Die Hard. A guy fell out of a building! It was awesome!”

Thomas rolls his eyes at just how predictable his daughter is. 

Thomas turns to you, “Die Hard? Really?” 

You shrug, “It’s almost Christmas.”

Thomas laughs as he holds tight to your belly. He kisses your neck as you turn your attention back to the stovetop. 

“Girls, can you set the table for me? Food’s almost ready.” 

The girls scramble up and grab flatware and plates from the cabinets before heading into the kitchen. Once gone, Thomas snuggles into you more.

“You know, I saw you all sleeping in bed together last night. Best sight of my life— well, besides that one you gave me that second night in Hawaii.

You swat at Thomas’s arm and he watches your face and neck heat up at the memory of just how skimpy that lingerie set had been, and how very impractical for getting to the activities you wanted to enjoy so badly. 

“All in bed together. My three perfect girls,” he hums.

You turn in his arms once again. You stare at your feet for a moment before looking up to meet his eyes. “Four,” you say, before adding more softly, “maybe.” 

Thomas’s eyebrows pull together in confusion. When it clicks, he stares into your eyes. You nod, a smile tear rolling down your cheek.

Thomas can’t stop his hands from moving from your back to your front, cradling at your stomach. There is nothing there to feel yet, no lump or movement or even a hint of the growth happening deep within. But he knows and that is all the matters.

“Your daughter, my daughter, and now our daughter,” you whisper up to him, placing you palms on top of his. Thomas’s tears fall downward onto your joined hands.

He chokes a little on his laugh, “All I hear you saying is, ‘our three daughters.’”

You smile at him then, and Thomas thinks it may be the single most beautiful sight he’s ever seen— even more than that second night in Hawaii. 

You spend a beat just holding each other, each feeling the moment, the pure joy of building your life together into something filled with the kinds of joy only true love can bring. A call from the girls in the other room means that finally, and regrettably, you pull away.

“Check your stocking,” you say before turning once more to the stove and plating breakfast. As you head into the dining room, Thomas heads to the living room where your Christmas tree stands tall, expanding up into the vaulted ceiling. On the mantle sits four stockings, each a little different and each still empty— that is until he notices the tiny little lump inside his white knit one with green holly on the lining.

He reaches for the bag and pulls out the contents: a small plastic stick displaying two lines and a second for good measure, an ultrasound photo showing a bean-shaped sack containing a small, but distinctly human, embryo measuring 7 weeks, 6 day, and a pocket calendar showing the date of the ultrasound, the baby’s due date, and the assumed date of conception… and the pair of impossibly skimpy panties you had been wearing right before it happened.

Thomas laughs. Of course that’s how it would go. It was good to know his swimmers agreed at just how undeniably sexy you had been riding him that night.

Thomas replaces everything in his stocking — except the panties. He pockets those. Couldn’t have him pulling those out Christmas morning in front of the girls, at least that was the logical reason he gave in his mind. And with a smile too wide to contain, Thomas entered the dining room where his three (or maybe four) girls were eating their breakfast.

Top 30 Most Underrated Albums!!

My top 30 favorite albums that I think are lovely and should be praised WAAAAY more than they are! Everything on here is great and I recommend all these albums!

30. Bon Iver - 22 A Million

Bon Iver takes his sound to the most experimental. Vocoder passages are super dope, 715 Creeks is an insanely underrated tune.

29. Siriusmo - Mosaik

Great kitschy synth music. Catchy, lighthearted, sweet and playful.

28. Bones - Useless

Best underground soundcloud rap album in my opinion. Cavernous, edgy, loud and depressing.

27. Mellowhype - Numbers

For an album with what I consider to be one of the best Frank Ocean features ever I hardly see it talked about in hip-hop circles. Great album.

26. Justice - Audio Video Disco

Grossly overshadowed by it’s monolithic older brother Cross, Audio Video Disco still serves bangers. Civilization is one of my top 10 songs of all time but On’n’on, Helix and New Lands should not be overlooked!

25. Gesaffelstein - Aleph

If I had to describe Aleph in a single word it would be brooding. Runners up include expensive, violent and scary.

24. Duck Sauce - Quack

If anything proves that we are long overdue for a full length A-Trak solo album, it’s this.

23. Yung Lean - Unknown Memory

Cloud rap pioneer Yung Lean’s opus. Volt, Sunrise Angel, Sandman and Blinded are all incredibly ahead of their time.

22. Playboi Carti - In Abundance

This one comes with a bit of a caveat considering it is a fan-compiled mixtape and not an official album but many of the songs on this project in my opinion stack up against highlights from S/T, Die Lit and WLR.

21. Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun

Referring to this album as moody and ambient don’t do it justice but for the sake of keeping  this list concise it will have to do. Dead Can Dance deserve the highest order of praise for this medieval epic.

20. Porches - The House

A melancholy and personal look into Porches frontman Aaron Maine’s experiences with social anxiety and depression. It’s groovy and will have you dancing with tears in your eyes.

19. Oni Ayhun - Oar003

Only two tracks long which makes it the shortest album on this list, Olof Dreijer of The Knife, under the pseudonym Oni Ayhun, makes curious, twinkling techno on Oar003.

18. Amnesia Scanner - Another Life

Abrasive and glitchy, german electronic duo Amnesia Scanner’s first album is not for the feint of heart but anyone who decides to keep an open mind (and the volume knob sitting lower than usual) will find some truly captivating moments of electronic brilliance on this record.

17. Mr Oizo - All Wet

Absolutely fucking hilarious album. With features from Skrillex, Boys Noize, Peaches and even Charli Xcx. All wet is modern dadaism and if you don’t believe me make sure you check out No Tony and Chairs in particular.

16. Crystal Castles - Amnesty (I)

I do not understand why this album isn’t  considered more when talking about Crystal Castles’ discography. It sounds related to their self titled trilogy but takes the band’s style in a less dance oriented, more experimental almost instrumental hiphop direction. Edith Francis’ vocals are great and the songs Ornament and Fleece stand out in particular, not to mention that the bonus track Kept may be one of the group’s best.

15. Simian Mobile Disco - Murmuations

Very low-key electronic music from Simian Mobile Disco, Murmurations features some flooring choral pieces backed by soft dance patterns. Great relaxing listen for fans of Caribou, Jamie XX and Chrome Sparks.

14. Mdou Moctar - Ilana (The Creator)

Where to even begin with this one! Mdou Moctar is a guitarist from Niger and Ilana (The Creator) is in my opinion his best work. Fuzzy rock music that sounds like it’s being played from 50-foot monitors in the middle of the Sahara.

13. Chemical Brothers - Further

Chemical brother’s second sleekest album after born in the echoes, Further has glamour that you’re seldom able to find elsewhere.

12. Boys Noize - Mayday

Absolute fucking rager of an album. Featuring Policia, Remy Banks and Hudson Mohawke among others, Boys Noize is in your face and doesn’t give a shit on Mayday. The remix of Birthday released after the album with Danny Brown is priceless.

11. Nico - Desertshore

Break out the tissues if you plan on listening to Desertshore today, this album is unrelentingly melancholic. Nico’s vocals sound almost ghost-like at times and the instrumentals on here are gorgeous.

10. The Newcomer - Earth Motivation

Sopping wet with OPN influence, Earth Motivation is glitchy but retains an emotional quality that will sit with you for a while after your first listen. Perfect for fans of Autechre, Oneohtrixpointnever and Venetian Snares.

9. Tami T - High Pitched and Moist

High Pitched and Moist is definitely not for everyone, but if you like your pop smeared with autotune and in-your-face sexuality then Tami T’s 2019 album is perfect for you! I recommend this one for any fans of Fever Ray and GFOTY.

8. Ryuichi Sakamoto - Async

From the jump, Japanese avant garde classical composer, pianist, electronic musician and synthpop legend Ryuichi Sakamoto hits you where it hurts on Async. The first tune Andata is one of the most beautiful and soul crushing instrumental songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, but the quality remains consistent throughout the entire record.

7.  Blanck Mass - World Eater

Holy. Fuck. Drop whatever you’re doing right now and listen to this album. I don’t care if you’re in a business meeting or getting lunch, World Eater demands the utmost attention. After hearing the transition from the end of Rhesus Negative to Please my life was never the same. I can’t sing Blanck Mass’ praises enough so you’re going to have to check this one out yourself but I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

6. Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene

French synth deity Jean-Michel Jarre’s intergalactic journey Oxygene is a record that soars above and beyond its compatriots (namely Mort Garson’s Plantasia and Jean-Jacques Perrey’s Moog Indigo) and will take you on an extra-planetary voyage from which you may never return. I recommend listening to this album with the best sound system you have available to really get the most out of it.

5. The Knife - Shaken-Up Versions

Technically The Knife’s last album before their retirement (not counting the Terminal 7 Live album), Shaken-Up Versions sees Karin and Olof Dreijer metamorphosing songs from all across their discography into dancefloor fillers. Electronic musicians retooling their material into more danceable, DJ set ready tracks is nothing new (See Alive 2007 and All Across the Universe) but the Knife’s catalog is already so impressive that hearing classics transmogrified like this is a phenomenal experience that I don’t want any dance music fans to miss out on! They reworked Silent Shout for christ’s sake how can you not love this.

4. Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Ecophony Rinne

Katsuhiro Otomo famously tapped Geinoh Yamashirogumi for the soundtrack to Akira, but what some of you may not know is that, while working on the Akira manga, Otomo was listening to this record in particular which inspired him to collaborate with the collective for the Akira film. Ecophony Rinne is like nothing I have ever heard before or since. It’s got a tectonic quality to it that makes you think you’re witnessing an extinction event or the birth of a new universe while listening which is an experience I highly recommend, ESPECIALLY for fans of the Akira manga and film; this album sounds like how Akira looks and Akira looks damn good.

3. Buy Muy Drugs - Buy Muy Drugs

Slept on in every regard, Buy Muy Drugs is a triumph of experimental and industrial hiphop. The duo made up of rapper Denmark Vessey and producer Azarias are welding together grime, bass music and afro-cuban percussion into a dystopic and pummeling listening experience that gets better and better with every listen. To quote JPEGMAFIA, “Death Grips can’t do this shit”.

2. Susumu Hirasawa - Technique of Relief

This album is jaw-dropping. It’s pop, ambient, traditional-Japanese experimental choral synth music delivered with soaring, regal grandiosity. One of the closest things to musical perfection I can think of, Technique of Relief is an album that even now I am having a difficult time describing. Intensely emotional yet hopeful; groovy but substantive, Susumu Hirasawa penned an oeuvre with this record.

1. Daft Punk - Human After All

The number one spot goes to the black sheep of the world’s most beloved electronic music making androids’ discography. Panned on release for being “spread thin” and “too minimal”, (The Village Voice went so far as to call the album “ a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought “) Daft Punk’s third album Human After all is definitely different from it’s rhinestone studded predecessor but in the absolute best way possible. It’s groovy, dark, emotional, tragic, minimal, distorted and it yields some of the robots’ best tracks (Human After All detractors seem to forget that Technologic, Robot Rock and the title track do not actually stem from the Alive 2007 Coachella set but rather find their home on this album). Sleeper gems like Make Love, Emotion, Television Rule the Nation and Prime Time of Your Life range from introspective and moody RnB that would not feel out of place on a Sebastien Tellier record to blown out, gravelly rock oriented tunes that remind the listener of Daft Punk’s roots as french garage rockers. Phenomenal album, criminally underrated.
