the childrens book series fandoms on this website are sorely disappointing
anyway whatever after, emily windsnap, philippa fisher, never girls, ranger in time, the secret zoo, going wild, rainbow magic, and puppy place fandoms rise up

so those following my steddie-dads series may know that Steve and Eddie named their daughters after important people in their life. Moe (or Lucy Maureen) gets her middle name from Eddie’s mom. Robbie (Amelia Robin) is named after Robin, obviously. Their third and final baby Hazel’s middle name is James, after Hopper.
In the aftermath of all the shit they went through in Hawkins, it didn’t take long for Jim to add Steve to his collection of “kids who pretend to be punching bags for people they care about” (his words). By the time Steve was stepping into adulthood, Hop was Steve’s dad in everything but blood and legal title (and that was even before Steve’s estrangement from his actual father), and when Hazel was born in 2007, he and Joyce were Steve’s second call (Robin being the first, obviously).
Two days later, their plane touched down in Boston.
Hazel was asleep when they arrived, and didn’t stir even while Steve passed her into Hopper’s arms
“Christ, she’s small,” Jim says quietly, looking down at the little baby.
“She’s actually bigger than Robbie was,” Steve replies, “Crazy different from the older two now though.”
For a second, Steve just watches, watches as Hopper adjusts the sleeping baby, watches him run a finger over her little cheek.
“Did you see her name, hon?” Joyce asks him, gesturing to the name embroidered on Hazel’s little hat (Steve had told her the name in advance, learning from experience that it wasn’t wise to catch them both off-guard at once).
Steve watches Jim squint to read the pink stitching, holding back a dumb comment about how he needed his glasses.
“Hazel…James,” Hop mumbles. He pauses, clears his throat, “That’s…what a name. Where’d you guys come up with that one.”
“After you,” Steve tells him, “In case that wasn’t clear.”
Jim is quiet for a long time, and Steve couldn’t say anything else around the tightness in his throat even if he wanted to, so he stays quiet too while Ed wraps an arm around his waist and presses a firm kiss to the side of his head.
“It’s a big honor,” Hopper finally says, his voice wrecked, not taking his eyes off the baby.
Steve can only nod.
“Well deserved,” Eddie tells him seriously, “She’s got big shoes to fill.”
Then, because he can’t help himself, he adds, “And if she starts spilling classified government secrets, we’ll know who to blame.”
