Lyni: "My Love."

Lyni: "My love."

Brutal and Shadow: "Dad."

Crosshair had to avoid crying when he heard the kids call him dad the first few times. But joy always fill him with these three.

Crosshair: I am darkness. I am a power. I am your worst nightmare. I could kill a man in more ways than you can imagine. I am the night. I am fury, I am a weapon, I am-

Echo: A doll.

Hunter: A cinnamon roll.

Tech: A sweetheart.

Crosshair: ...

Crosshair: Stop it.

Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Family is Annoying in any Universe)

A short look into the reception for Crosshair and Lyni's marriage.

***********************************************************************

Crosshair felt joy in his chest waking up next to Lyni. So much so that he dreaded his next deployment because it meant he had to take a break from being next to her. But Riyo promised that by his next leave the adoption papers for the twins Brutal and Shadow would be though then he could take all three to get military IDs.

And after the adoption goes through we'll take a vacation just the four of us, he promised himself. It was a promise that was keeping him from murdering many of his family members at this reception. They were testing his patience with the entirety of the Fett clan turning out to meet who one of their party boys was settling down with.

Looking around he could see his brothers talking to their cousins Cody and Rex, with a few of their brothers standing close by. Wolffe with his eye patch was giving stern stares at anyone who was headed his way so most steered clear of him. Shadow and Brutal were playing with some of the younger members of the clan, and Lyni was keeping a watchful eye on them.

Soon Jango started walking over, and Crosshair could feel the anger build up in him at the sight of the man. Most of his brothers had a strained relationship with their father, who was rightly called a dead beat. Jango had done little to raise them, preferring to leave them with the women that he slept with only to turn up later with gifts to try and mend the rift. One of the reasons Crosshair had slept around so much was because he was tired of fighting the expectation with Jango Fett as his father.

Lyni's slender hand slipped into his and Cross felt his anger melt away with her touch. Turning he smiled at his Riddur, his wife, and tried to ignore the man coming towards them. Jango had not gotten the hint, "Crosshair, why didn't you tell me you had such a lovely Cyre?"

Because my sweetheart is none of your business he wanted to say but didn't. Instead stating, "You have never been interested before."

Lyni squeezed his hand with her left as she extended her right, "It is nice to meet you Mr Fett, I'm Lyni."

Smiling the flirtatious smile he turned on all of his children's partners Jango answered taking her hand to shake, "What a lovely name for a lovely lady."

Raising an eyebrow, "A compliment that will never be returned to you sir." Crosshair snorted at the look on his fathers face but Lyni gave her practiced smile, "Now if you excuse us I have other members of the family to meet." Giving him a short nod she and Crosshair walked away and continued meeting members of the family.

There was Alpha and his generation, Colt and the rest of the uncles, Cody and the rest of the older cousins and then Tup and the rest of the younger cousins. Not to mention the spouses and partners of many of the older ones. Colt wife Shaak Ti stepped forward and took Lynis hands into hers, "Do not worry young one." With one of the tougura woman's gentle smiles, "Everyone will fall in place given time." Lyni just nodded and followed Cross some more.

Finally they had mad the rounds and settled at a picnic table for some lunch. Lyni relaxed a bit when Shadow and Brutal joined them with Wrecker following. He had also been playing with the kids but stopped when the twins wanted to rest. At this table for a moment they were just the Bad Batch and the Dathmarian trio. Lyni leaned her head on Crosshair's shoulder and sighed, "Is it always like this?" Her hand motioned to the chaos of the family unfolding around them.

Crosshair wrapped an arm around her shoulders while Hunter patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Only on a full get together. Otherwise there are less people." Lyni nodded once but sat up with with her practiced smile on her face when others joined the table.

**********************************************************************

I'm sorry if it did not have as much interactions with the clones as wanted and/or expected. I am just trying to stay writing on a regular basis and this is what came out.

Lyni - Groans as she leans on the table, "I hardly slept last night."

Phee - "They say if you can't sleep someone is thinking about you." Teasing, "Someone who loves you."

Lyni - Too tired to get the joke, "Who would be thinking about me at 3am?"

*Crosshair who was putting tea in front of her freezes in panic*

Crosshair *bursts into bad batch living room* "This is not a drill!"

Hunter *jumps to his feet* "What's not a drill?"

Crosshair "Lyni is pregnant." Cheers and congratulations break out, "Guys, I'm supposed to keep her as stress free as possible." Everyone was silent for a minute as Lyni and stress went hand in hand.

Hunter, "Okay, we'll figure something out."

Wrecker, "Like what? Lynis a ball a stress."

Tech, "In preparation for this possibility I have ten different plans for a relatively stress free pregnancy." His bros sat down to listen to the plans.

Lyni to Phee when going to bail their boyfriends out of prison, "We're in love with two halves of a whole idiot."

Phee, "My half is hotter."

Crosshair: Do you think I’m going too far?

Tech: No no you went too far seven hours ago. Now you’re going to prison.

Sibling behavior right here.

Echo: Why are you guys acting like this? Crosshair: Oh, we're not acting. We really are like this.
