EOA Ship Appreciation Week Day 2: Domestic

Alright! Day 2! Decided to go back to the basics with one of my favorite ships: Gababel ft. Their kids! Who are the loving creations of @lovelyrugbee and @shasta627!

Enjoy!

If Isabel were to be asked between the two, she would always say that she preferred someone with great brains, then brawn.

It didn’t hurt that her husband happened to have both though.

However, Gabe had been able to convince her the pros of having a strong body to go along with a strong mind long before they had even started dating.

After all, if she wanted to officially be a part of Team Avalor, she wanted to make sure she could keep up with them in everyway possible. And indeed, after getting over the first couple of grueling weeks with Coach Nunez, where she only felt she was going to cough up a lung fives times, her overall strength and stamina did improve. 

She even kept up the routine he had designed specifically for her when she went away to college. Where, it actually ended up being useful there as well, it turned out that a pension for trouble was an inherited family trait.

Despite Isabel’s best efforts to keep up the new lifestyle for years though, it ended up wavering when Isabel had gotten pregnant the first time. In her defense, there was only so much movement a petite woman wanted to do when she found out she was having twins. They had only been expecting the one baby when they had begun trying for a family.

While Isabel had been a little jealous that Gabe’s body hadn’t had to take any sacrifice during the pregnancy and he was in fact required to stay in shape as Captain of the Guards; he had been a great source of emotional support and gladly took his share in carrying the boys around while she recovered. Isabel had even made it easier for him by reconstructing the traditional scarf wrap into a duel sided sling, so one baby would be up front facing his chest and the other behind and nestled into his back.

It didn’t take long to figure out which baby should go where, as Damian quickly proved to be the much squirmier, vocal, and grabby one, while Dante had a more serene one and such a good sleeper.

Isabel couldn’t help how her heart always fluttered slightly seeing him carry the two of them around. Being a dad looked so good on him.

It was also during this recovery period, that Isabel fully realized how much she really did rely on her nimble ability to climb, jump, and even just bend over when she was constructing. So, she had been more than willing to get back on a work out routine as soon as possible.

Though, she found out very quickly that with having twins, they had more than enough of a work out trying to keep up with the two of them.

Still, Isabel tried to heed his husband’s advice about adding a little more exercise to her daily schedule rather than just sit at her desk for hours when she got pregnant with their daughter Daniella, or Dani a few years later. It ended being a lot easier that second time around overall. Then again, anything was easier after twins.

Which is what brought her to present day where she was spending the afternoon in the Castle’s large gymnasium rather than her laboratory.

Don’t get her wrong, while she probably could never fully appreciate it like the soldiers did when they were here in the early mornings, it was impressive. Avalor had made sure to stocked up on all the latest equipment, from practice swords, to weights, to a rock climbing wall, and to even these new things called stationary bikes which she was currently on.

A couple of loud squeals rang throughout the large room. Isabel’s head shot up, her maternal instincts kicking in and her fatigue momentarily leaving her.

However, it turned out to be nothing of alarm.

Across the gym, Gabe was on the pull-up on the bar, with each of their boys hanging off one his legs and Dani hanging from a sling on his back. 

“Again, again!” Dante shouted and Gabe let out a groan as he pulled himself above the bar.

The twins let out another round of jubilant screams and Isabel was glad that they were the only ones in here right now.

Dani looked unaffected by her father’s movement or her brothers’ squawking as she continued to look intriguingly around the many colors and contractions of the gym and occasionally kicked her legs about.

Isabel smiled and shook her head slightly, getting off the bike and walking over to her family.

Her sons paid her no attention, too immersed in their fun, as she got to the other side of her husband so she could talk to him face to face.

“Doing okay Gabe?”

“Of course,” Gabe said in a slightly strained voice. “The kids are actually helping out since I could do this in my sleep.”

“Oh really?” Isabel asked slyly as she noted how red his face was turning. “What do you think boys, should mami help papi with his workout too?”

“Yeah!” Damien exclaimed. “Papi can lift us all up!”

Gabe eyes widened. “Wait, Isa–”

“Come on, mi luz,” Isabel said with an edge of challenge in her voice as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her chest to his. “Lift us.”

Gabe gave her a low gruff of annoyance, but he was never one to let down his family if he could. So, he took one large breathe and used what must have been all his strength.

Honestly, Isabel had only been half-serious about him actually going through with this. But, when she saw the same crease in his brow that he got when he was planning battle tactics and even felt her feet leave the ground, she allowed him to continue what was now an act of pride.

And, when he was finally able to lift his face above the bar, Isabel rewarded his with a quick kiss to his strained lips before she released and dropped to the ground with Gabe slowly lowering himself back down, all kids still intact.

“Alright men,” Gabe then said as firmly as he could. “We’re going to take a quick five. Go drink some water for the time being.”

Their sons listened to their father’s orders, always getting a kick at being able to pretend to be one of his soldiers which Gabe was fully aware of. It was the reason he was usually in charge of putting them to bed.

Isabel pulled Dani out of the sling to help relieve him completely of their weight. She placed a kiss on her daughter’s forehead before she placed her in play pen, where Dani immediately became entranced by her colored blocks.

“Are you really okay?” Isabel asked as Gabe lifted up his arms high to stretch out his back. “I want to make sure you didn’t throw out your back or pull something.”

Gabe arched an eyebrow at her. “Are you calling me old?”

Isabel rolled her eyes, that is not what she had meant at all. But she play along if that’s how he wanted to take it. “Well you are getting older, sir.”

“I’ll show you old!” Gabe then swooped Isabel up into his arms. The force of his momentum made it incredibly easy for him to throw her over his shoulder.

“What are you doing!?” Isabel half-exclaimed, half-laughed out, instinctively latching on to him.

“Hey boys!” He yelled out, as he started walking in a direction she couldn’t sense. “I think mami here needs a love pile, what do you think?”

“Yeah!”

Isabel knew what was coming, but was helpless as Gabe got on his knees, pulled her off him, and had her on the rubber mat and flat on her back in only a few seconds.

She didn’t even have a second to try and preform any sort of escape attempt before two small forms awkwardly flopped on top of her. Gabe always tried to encourage the boys to be a little more gently with her than they were with him, but there was only so much control two five years could have, especially riled up.

Isabel let out a wheeze as Dante landed on her stomach, but she was able to recover quickly and began to play along.

“No! Not the little reinforcements!” Isabel cried over dramatically as she rocked her body enough that the boys tried to grab onto way they could.

“Surrender mami!” Damien shouted.

“Never!” Isabel shouted as she was able to finally pull out her arms from under their impossibly strong bodies. She began her counterattack as she began tickling them in their sides, legs, feet, and generally anything they could get their hands on.

While it did result in her briefly getting kicked in some n0t-so-great places, the two of them started to make a hasty retreat from her wiggling fingers.

“Secret baby attack!’ Gabe’s voice then called out as Dani was placed on top of her face before her boys were fully off her.

Isabel let out another laugh even though her sides were beginning to cramp. She peeled her daughter off her and used her last remaining strength to lift her up in the air. Dani’s own mouth curled into a wide smile at the sight of her mother’s and made a grabbing motion towards the long pieces of hair that had come out of Isabel’s bun.

Isabel brought Dani back down and placed a big kiss on her chubby cheek before laying her on her chest. She turned her head to see Gabe sitting next to her, Dante and Damien were climbing over his back, a safe distant from their mother’s tickling fingers.

Gabe and Isabel’s eyes met, sharing the weariness that was starting to wash over them. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for their loving terrors.

"I wanna play with the Olaball!” Dante exclaimed as he practically pushed of his father and ran to barrel that was full of practice Olaballs.

“I wanna Olaball too!” Damien cried as he followed his brother in a similar fashion.

Gabe watched them for another second before the infamous and brave Captain of the Guards admitted defeat by laying breathlessly next to his wife. This was further evident by his next statement to her.

“Are we calling it truce?”

“In the face of a greater enemy, I would say truce,” Isabel replied, just as breathless as him and grateful for the few moments they now had.

“What in the EverRealm are we going to do when you are able to walk, mija?” Isabel then asked the infant, who was perfectly content with pulling lightly on the clump of her hair she had managed to get her small hands on.

“Hopefully the boys will be out of this stage by then.”

A loud crashing sound then came from the far side of the gym. Both their heads turned towards the direction, but since what followed were the sounds the laughter and not crying, they decided they would take a minute before they actually saw what the damage was.

Gabe sighed. “Or at the very least, I can make the new recruits watch them.”

“Isn’t that an abuse of your power Captain?”

“Not unless you invent them some kind of larger version of your Exo-groomer.”

“That’s assuming that I already haven’t,” Isabel said with a wink.

Gabe laughed as he rolled onto his side so that he could place a kiss to her temple. He then gazed down at Dani and gently smoothed back her small tuft of hair.

“Think we can convince Elena and Mateo to watch them while we take a nap with Dani?”

Isabel let out a snort. “Don’t worry, I have enough babysitting points that those two owe me at least a thousand times over!”
