End of the World IV
Katie McCabe x Child!Reader

Summary: Christmas in Australia
Tumblr media
Before Christmas, there was an argument.
Ma wanted to take you with her for Christmas but Mammy also wanted to take you.
There was a big argument, like how there's always an argument when Ma and Mammy are in the same room.
You end up with Mammy though because she was doing more 'child safe' things. That means you're in Australia with her and Caitlin.
Australia is hot at Christmas and you don't think you like that. Mammy had to buy you a whole new wardrobe because your summer clothes are stuck in boxes in the loft and Mammy couldn't get them out in time because Ma decided too late to let you go with her.
You're on a beach right now, digging your toe into the sand in unease as Mammy tries to get you to step foot in the sea.
You shake your head. "No."
"Kiddo," She says," Come on. It's just the ocean. It won't hurt you."
You keep shaking your head. "Ma said that Australia's oceans have sharks that will eat me."
Katie sighs deeply, cursing Ruesha in her mind before Caitlin steps forward.
"I can look after her," She says," At least until you're done swimming."
"Are you sure?" Katie checks. She knows that Caitlin is still a little wary around you and she doesn't want to make either of you feel awkward.
"It's fine," Caitlin insists," We'll have fun in the sand. It'll be good."
You're still holding your bucket and spade as Caitlin leads you away from Mammy. You sniffle a little bit as Mammy paddles out into the sea leaving you with Caitlin alone.
She sets you up next to the towels and the big basket of stuff she and Mammy brought with. You stare at her. She stares back.
"So," Caitlin says," Do you want to make a sandcastle?"
You sniffle.
Caitlin's eyes go wide.
"Wait! No, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you sad! We don't need to make sandcastles!"
You burst into tears and Caitlin grows even more panicked.
"Is it the sand? We can go and sit on the steps!"
"Mammy!" You whine, reaching out towards Katie has disappeared into the sea," Mammy's gone!"
Caitlin follows your gaze. "Oh, she's not gone. She's just out swimming."
"Mammy!" You cry again, tears spilling down your cheeks," The sharks are gonna get her!"
"They won't," Caitlin tries to assure you.
"They will!" You insist," Ma said the sharks in Australia are always in the sea."
Cautiously, Caitlin reaches out for you. She gently manoeuvres you into her lap and you let her. "See that lifeguard there?" She points at a man in a big chair," And that building over there? They make sure that sharks aren't in the water."
"Really?"
"Yep," Caitlin says," If any sharks swim in then they tell everyone so no one goes in the water."
You wipe your nose on the towel that's been wrapped around you. "Promise?"
"I promise, kiddo. Katie'll be very safe. Do you want to build a sandcastle now?"
You shake your head, fisting the strap of Caitlin's swimsuit. "No thank you. Stay like this please."
Caitlin tries not to let her shock show as she nods. "Sure, yeah, we can stay like this."
Katie isn't quite sure what to say when she gets out of the water to see Caitlin trying to sunbathe with a limp and sleeping you lying on her chest.
"Hey," Katie says, with a little smile," What's all this then?"
"She was convinced the sharks were going to eat you," Caitlin replies with an eye roll, gently tracing patterns against your back," But she's fine now."
"Well," Katie says," I think that's our cue to head back and have our own naps. She's dead to the world right now."
"What about lunch?"
Katie shrugs as she very carefully picks you up, adjusting you so your head is buried in her neck. "We can get a late lunch afterwards. The little miss needs an actual pillow to rest her head." She looks down at you with a wince. You're truly, deeply asleep. "And maybe a pull up too."
Caitlin and Katie end up asleep as well and Katie wakes up groggy to small hands shaking her shoulder.
Caitlin's arm is thrown over her shoulder as she blinks awake.
"Kiddo?" She asks," What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry, Mammy," You say," Can we have lunch now?"
"Yeah, we can get lunch. Let me just get Caitlin up."

I know it wouldn't necessarily fit in with the timeline and stuff, but would you ever write a throwback fic almost??
All of the conversations on this page about Bug's life before the breakup has melted me and I'd love to have a fic to reread 😭
I absolutely would!
Send in what kind of things you want me to touch on!

reminder to everyone to do your duolingo before midnight!
(I tend to forget mine cause I’m so excited for the new fics and I definitely don’t just adjust the date on my iPad to do what is technically yesterdays by that point when that happens cause it won’t work on my phone…)
Duolingo reminder!

Of course Leah is the one who joins in with the dancing, why am I not surprised
Leah organises the outfits for the parties (sunglasses, matching outfits etc.)
Jordan just orders a ton of little lights and banners and stuff out of nowhere
It's a full setup
Bug gets very excited when she sees the banners up because she knows it means a dance party after the match

kristie ignoring sam for duckie when she sees her and just adoring her so much that sam just thinks ‘wow i really want to have kids with this woman’ (if duckie and chook aren’t in the same universe ofc)
Kristie thinks Duckie is such a sweetheart and sits through Duckie's hour long tour of all her duck toys

I remember you talking about it ages ago but can we have some more thoughts on Leah, Jordan and Bug having their own dance parties?
It was so adorable to read about! Would the Arsenal girls be invited to them or would it just be theirs?
It tends to be just theirs.
Something intimate that they do at home.
It all started when Jordan noticed that Bug learnt how to bounce while standing and she tended to do it to music so Jordan put some on the speakers and Bug just started bouncing much more furiously than before and then Leah got involved, saying that they were dancing together

idk if you've already said it but how does Ruesha react when Katie tells her about Kiddo's regression?
It's a lot of shock and then denial.
She insists it's only happening at Katie's but she goes to check in with Kiddo in the middle of the night and finds that she's had an accident

does nena ever meet bean and tesoro? Like do they ever play on the same team?
I think she'd definitely meet Tesoro playing on the same team.
Bean bleeds Arsenal like Leah whereas Tesoro's only aim is to be as good as Alessia so she's more free to change teams.
Nena probably meets Bean playing against her at the international level/Champion's League
