Hi, I saw you are accepting requests, and I read A la Velocidad de la Luz, it was amazing! I was thinking about they as parents, maybe reader's dream about having those 6 Nuggets with Steve and traveling to California being real would be great? I mean I'd like to see all the story but with this idea i'll be super happy, only if you like it, of course!
This is a very cute idea! I kinda wanted to add some babysitting munson but I'm still not sure lol, I kept it simple tho. Hope you like this one!

A la Velocidad de la Luz (at the Speed of light) | Steve Harrington x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
"Robin called, said she'll be in Malibu by the time we get there," you said, trying to fix your hair while the trailer was in motion.
"Yeah, did you tell her she'll be the official nanny for the next week?" Steve asked, flipping through radio stations.
You chuckled while starting to braid Alice's long brown hair.
"She's aware. She and Vicki can't wait to babysit and do auntie duties," you expertly finished your daughter's hairdo, and she happily went to her seat behind the trailer to start playing with her twin, Jo.
You and Steve started having babies more than a decade ago. It wasn't exactly planned; you just got tired of the pills. One day, after a year and a half of marriage, you woke up and broke the news to Steve.
"Babe?"
"Mmhm," he murmured while sipping coffee from his mug.
Your sexy police officer husband was standing there with his hip against the counter and the paper in his hand.
" I stopped taking the pills, remember? You said whenever I feel ready, I just had to tell you? Well, I'm ready."
He took his eyes away from whatever he was reading and slowly moved to meet yours as he carefully studied you. In silence, he left his mug and newspaper on the counter and took his radio from the center table of your kitchen. He pressed a button without breaking eye contact.
"Central, this is Sergeant Harrington, do you copy? Over."
"Hey, Sarge Stevie, this is Jane Hopper helping out today in Central. Is everything okay? Over."
Steve smiled, and you copied his gesture. Jane started working at the central station during her summers when she graduated high school a couple of years ago. A way for Hopper to teach her the sense of responsibility and set healthy boundaries between her and Mike. It was a pretty good idea, to be honest.
"Hey El, do me a favor, could ya'? Tell your dad I'll be out of duties this morning for personal reasons. Imma explain to him later, over."
"Is everything okay? Over."
Steve combed his hair back and smiled.
"Yeah, honey, just a little thing here I need to take care of. Just tell your dad that, copy."
"Okay, just remember, friends don't lie. I'll tell my father, but he won't be happy, Mom's got him on a new diet, and it's driving him nuts, copy."
Steve laughed.
"I can imagine that. Thanks for the favor. See you soon, copy."
"10-4, have a great morning. Tell your pretty girl I love her. Out."
Then the line was dead, and as soon as the conversation ended, Steve quickly turned off the radio and took a couple of steps to get closer to you. You embraced his neck, standing on your tiptoes while smiling playfully.
"So, I'm guessing I'm the little thing you need to take care of?"
He caressed your back until his hands were on your butt and smiled back.
"Of course, mama, we need to fix this not-being-pregnant-yet situation," he finally said, taking you in his arms while you let out a giggle, and he started walking upstairs.
Nine months later, on March 12th, 1992, your first girl, Emma Chrissy Harrington, came into the world to be the protagonist of her father's worries and cares. She was now sitting in the back of the trailer with her headphones on, reading your old books while moving his feet covered in the combat boots her godfather gave her on her birthday. After one year of having her, you and Steve welcomed your first son James, who was born with his father's beautiful eyes and your hair. Steve often says he's gonna be a charmer, but you think he already is. You and Steve struggled a little to adjust to having two totally different babies in the house, and Steve got promoted to Captain, which was a big responsibility, so you decided to hold off on baby-making for a while. You enjoyed being a mother of two for that time; they were so different, with Emma being chaotic and creative, learning to play the drums before even being potty-trained, courtesy of his uncle Eddie, and James being the calmest and most advanced baby, talking, teething, and walking at a very early stage. He's now into photography and loves his uncle Johnny. When Emma was 4 and James 3, you and Steve welcomed Elizabeth. She was born prematurely and was a very delicate baby until doctors told you she was born with diabetes, so she has to follow a strict treatment. Other than that, she is a smart and strong 7-year-old girl who likes dresses and her piano lessons. By that time, you were a family of 5, and frankly, everything felt easier than with the first two babies. That made you both think that where's five, why can't be six, right? Just that in your next pregnancy, you discovered you were expecting your twins; Alice and Jo-Anne. They're just 5, so they are into bugs, drawing, and dogs.
They were very wild years, with Steve being promoted from Chief Assistant to Chief, with Hopper handing Steve the torch as he always wanted, and you with a little tour on the East Coast to promote your new novel and signing meetings. You couldn't take the vacation of your dreams until this year, once Steve got used to his new job and you just finished your last book so you could be focused more on the family time, he finally bought the camper you both always dreamed about and traveled through the country during the summer.
Uncle Eddie was waiting for you in his big-ass mansion that he was preparing to receive the whole crowd.
"Is he moving?" Steve asked while he moved his hand and placed it over your bump.
You smiled.
"Yep, he will be just like his dad; unstoppable."
He then smiled back.
"Babe?"
"Uh?" you hummed starting to open a new book your editor recommended to you.
"Just… you look amazing."
"I'm bigger, Harrington. Bigger and swollen," you reminded him.
He moved his hand, caressing your bump.
"You get prettier with every pregnancy."
You rolled your eyes.
"And you get more delusional," you joked, looking for the right page to start your reading while your other hand took his.
You kept in silence while you could hear the kids playing in the back of the camper.
"Babe?" Steve repeated and let out a relieved laugh.
"Huh?" you replied with the same sound.
"We made it, babe," he said with pride coming through his voice. "The whole plan. You and me, The six nuggets. The camper. We are freaking parents of happy and cool kids. We won."
Yep, you did.
