Miracle Life: an AU of an AU

If you haven’t read Married Life, I highly suggest you check it out here.

This AU starts 5 years after Bill won and Ford became his husband. By this point, Ford has stopped fighting back against Bill and even started to believe that he does love him. However, Bill still feels the need to reinforce his hold on Ford and decides that it’s time for them to have kids. After all, every couple wants to start a family, right? And they have a reputation as the perfect couple™️ to uphold (if you try to insinuate otherwise, he will rearrange your organs)

Ford is not happy about this, but can’t look too deeply into why the idea of having children with Bill sounds like a terrible idea. But in the end, he doesn’t get that choice, and Bill knocks him up. (Now to be fair, it wasn’t Bill’s intent to have triplets, though he knew that the possibility of having multiple was high. They were supposed to be twins but Penelope and Page ‘split’ in the womb. He surprisingly did not have that much input into how the kids would end up looking)

About them: Pen & Page are spoiled princesses — literally, since their dad is the emperor of 13’\ but that doesn’t mean that their life is perfect, and Bill often make them fight for his attention. They struggle with empathy, having grown up being put on a pedestal, away from others and in an environment where kindness for others was often discouraged.

Mark is Bill’s least favourite child, and Ford’s favourite. And while Ford doesn’t mention his preference, Mark is very aware of Bill’s feelings for him. Despite growing up in the same way as his sister, he actually feels very deeply for others and wishes he could learn more about them.

Ford has very little control over his kids, despite being the one who spends the most amount of time with them. But having been raised on ciphertology material, they admire and try to emulate Bill, who often tells them that they don’t have to listen to anyone but him, and of course, they are simply copying the way he acts with Ford.

Thank you so much @matcha-milkies for coming up with the kid’s names and helping me with this!

I will also be posting a fic relating to this soon enough (and I’m now realizing that this post spoils some things, oops). The kids are about 12 years old in this picture.
