He really hates asking for help. He can usually handle himself just fine but there is the rare occasion he needs your eyes for something. He never asks for your help though. You have to volunteer to help without him asking.
Soldier loves running his hands along your face and enjoying your features. It’s like every day he finds something new to love about you.
He experiences a lot of self doubt, thinking you deserve much better than him. He fears his disability may be holding you back and you have to constantly remind him how much you love him for him.
Actually tried going a day without his cane to show you how capable he is on is own. He ran into a lot of things and got hurt a bunch but hey people act stupid for the people they love.
Soldier appreciates any physical contact he can get from you. Even just holding his hand sends his heart soaring.
Very overprotective of you during pregnancy. Does a lot of research on what is good and not good for the baby’s development and will make sure you are eating healthy, exercising enough, etc.
Even when he’s absolutely exhausted from work he will ask if you’d like a foot rub or something like that when he comes home.
He has had many sleepless nights doubting his capability of being a father but he’d never let you know that. He wants your pregnancy to be as stress free as possible.
When the pregnancy really starts to show you may find him walking in front of you a lot. He wants to protect that precious belly.
Gabe:
Yes hello you have just been promoted to royal status. This man will pamper you as much as he can, it may even come off as a little stifling.
He loves taking you around everywhere and bragging to the other agents. Usually gives them a look, then glances at your belly, then back at them with a look that says “I did that, lookit”
Makes constant remarks on how gorgeous you look while pregnant. Maybe he has a kink for that??? Who knows.
He gets kind of mopey and grumpy when he has to spend the day away from you. He’d spend his lunch break just checking in on you because he just always wants to be by your side while you carry his child!!
Zenyatta:
He is just so… memorized by the whole pregnancy thing. He’ll probably stare at you a lot, reach out to touch your belly and try to sense the life in there. He’s like a curious little child!
He is not as protective as some may think. He is all for letting you do things as you see fit. He’ll speak up if anything may concern him but other than that, you got this.
If it’s even possible, he is far more gentle with you. He touches you like you are made of fine glass and he speaks very quietly so he will not cause you any alarm.
He checks in with you a lot, asking how you are feeling physically and emotionally. if anything is wrong, he’ll give you suggestions for some remedies he has in mind but you are free to choose what you’ll go with.

• He had never thought of the possibility. Deep down, he still didn’t believe that he was deserving of a family, of a wife, of a child.
• That being said, he doesn’t know how to react. He’s conflicted, one side of him being completely ecstatic and the other convincing him that somehow he’d mess everything up.
• However, he ends up being a great father! During the pregnancy he can get a tiny bit stifling, what with him trying to monitor your foods, drinks, sleeping patterns, exercise (tell him to ease up a bit and he will, though, because above all he understands that you’re the one carrying the baby). He’ll give you massages and stay awake to soothe you when you can’t sleep. To him, both your mental and physical health are extremely important.
• He doesn’t cry when the baby is born but his eyes do get watery, though he won’t admit it. He helps out as much as possible after the pregnancy, knowing that you’ve been tired out and worn down. A light sleeper, so more often than not he ends up being the one cooing the baby back to sleep on particularly restless nights. Will lie beside the baby as they’re learning to crawl, holding toys above their head and encouraging them to move.

• At first he’s completely and utterly over the moon. To have a family again was the one thing he truly wanted, and he was really excited for the baby’s birth.
• However, he’s quick to rethink where you are in your lives. He’s still a mercenary, wanted by a good percentage of law enforcements. He wants you to have a safe, protected life, and it’s for that reason that he moves you both from the city and into the countryside. It’s safer, cleaner, healthier, and you’re both happy.
• He’s the dad that will read up on babies. He’s confused at first, overwhelmed, even, by the sudden influx of information, but as time passes, he begins to get a hold on things. Will be the one to say hey, that’s not good for the baby or here’s a better option.
• He paints the nursery by himself, because the paint fumes are bad for the baby, darlin’, and stays up late to finish it in time. He tries to keep you off your feet as long as possible, keep you relaxed and rested.
• He chokes up when the baby’s born. Cradles them in his arms, rocks them back and forth, and lies next to you, kissing your forehead and saying look at what we made in awe. While you rest he’ll try and constantly have the baby in his arms, still not completely trusting of everybody in the hospital.
• When he’s the one to wake up during the night, he tends to bring the baby back to bed. He lets the little infant sleep soundly on his chest, and feels much better knowing that his child and his wife are both safe beside him.

• His first thought is this can’t happen. Not now. He leads a life much too dangerous for any child, and he was still reluctant to let you get involved in any of his… after-hours activities.
• But you won’t give up the baby, he knows that without even asking, and he’s not about to abandon the woman he loves when she needs him most.
• He tries to come home earlier and avoid conflict where he can — which is hard, and God knows the guilt he feels when he stumbles into the apartment, broken and bloody, needing you to patch him up. Other than that, he makes sure that you’re eating properly and avoiding stress as much as possible. He tries to convince you to stop waiting up for him, but you’re as headstrong as he is and so you compromise; he comes home before 11, and you don’t have to wait up for him.
• As much as he’d love for the baby to legally be his as they are physically, it’s something he can’t risk. His name doesn’t go on the birth cert and the baby takes your last name, something that upsets him but he’s done for the greater good.
• Although he’s strong, he can be hard on himself. Sit him down and make sure he knows that he’s made tonnes of sacrifices in his life — the birth of your baby is something he should savour, something that he could take pride in.
• That being said, he spends as much time as possible with you and the baby. He’ll feed them, change diapers, play, nap, anything. He wants to be as close as he can be, and if that means losing a few hours of shut-eye to soothe the wailing baby back to sleep at 4AM, so be it.
Genji Shimada
• Yet another one who didn’t think it was possible. He had never given it thought, considering a large portion of himself was robotic. He had thought he wasn’t able to have children (which was something he had secretly wanted since he was young), so yes, he does cry when you tell him.
• He spends less time out and about and more time taking care of you. He gets much more hands-on; a constant hand on your hips, on your waist or shoulder. Maybe he wants to make sure you’re constantly out of harms way — maybe he’s taken a certain liking to the way your stomach has swelled…
• He suggests that you try out yoga to reduce some of the uncomfortableness of your pregnancy, and he’ll instruct you through each pose. Also, he gets you an exercise ball that comes in handy during contractions, too.
• The baby’s always laughing because of him. He’ll throw them and catch them (almost giving you a heart attack), he’ll blow on their stomach and nuzzle his nose into their neck, anything that will have them giggling.
• You help him decorate the nursery. It turns out beautiful, with a dragon mobile hanging above the baby’s cradle and little paintings on the walls. He even gives the baby a little bird plushie, and the baby’s never seen without it.
• He makes it a priority to raise the child the opposite way that he was. Although he doubts that his child and future children would fall as much as Hanzo and he did, he still makes it a point to never shame his children for their emotions, to let them love and care freely.
Soldier: He likes to have his partner simply call him by his name, people call him ‘sir’ and have called him ‘commander’ so much that it doesn’t do anything for him. But having someone know him so intimately as to know his real name, that’s arousing in itself.
Reaper: ‘Papi’, ‘daddy’, ‘sir’, ‘master’, legit anything that flaunts his authority over you. He has to be in control.
Genji: He just wants you to scream his name, he wants his name to be the only thing you remember by the end of your session.
Mccree: If you tell me the cowboy doesn’t have a ‘daddy’ kink then I’ll look you dead in the face and call you a liar, just hearing that word pass your lips really revs his engine.
