The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

His Surprise (Hunter & Omega - Father & Daughter)

Hunter was conflicted, he had a difficult choice to make. Continue his studies or go for this new job opportunity, one that would take him to learn new skills but the only problem was it was across the world. Meaning he would have to leave his family behind. His brothers reassured him that they would be okay. His little brothers made sure he would be okay. Being the oldest wasn't always the easiest but at least he had help from his immediate younger brother in raising the youngest two. 

Currently he is 21 and as much as he said he was sensible and a responsible adult. He definitely ignored all the stuff he did in his free time when he described himself. 

"Wrecker, what do you think?" Hunter turned to his immediate younger brother. 

"Hunter, I've told you. If you want it, take it, you can always study more later on in life. What's stopping you? Take it and go. I've got things here. Yes, we may miss you but I can handle the troublesome twins" 

"Both sets?" 

"Yes both sets, Tech and Crosshair have sworn to behave otherwise I've told them they will not be seeing their boyfriends" Wrecker explained, "Echo and Fives understand, trust me. I've given them the big brother talk with them being 22 and our brothers being 17".

Hunter could only nod, he picked up his phone ready to ring and accept the job when the doorbell went. Something just didn't sit right in his decision. As much as he wanted to leave, Tech had explained a strange feeling he had a couple of weeks ago when Hunter got offered to join this 'Empire' company. Thinking his younger brother was just paranoid, Hunter answered the door only to see no one there. 

He froze, not understanding, he went to close the door when a sharp cry had him looking down where he found a baby carrier with a very small baby in it. He immediately kneeled down only to gasp, a note was in the carrier. He looked around the street to see if he could catch anyone when he found no one. He picked up the baby carrier and entered the living room where he left Wrecker who looked at him strangely. 

"Who's this?" 

"I don't know, I found her on the step. Someone left her. Can you get Tech to check the cameras" 

"Blimey, she doesn't even look a few months old" Wrecker exclaimed as he ran up the stairs to where Tech and Echo were chilling in Techs bedroom. 

Hunter could only stare at the blond baby who reached for him, she had hazel coloured eyes. Oh god, he hoped Tech hadn't done something. He rocked the carrier as he picked the note up only to read:

To Hunter Dawson, 

I don't know if you will remember me. But we met ten months ago when I found you at 79s, I was the blond waitress, you were in a state of mourning and I took care of you. I drove you home only to end up in your bed. The morning after, you told me it was a mistake and I understood at the time. 

So I left in a hurry, I left my contact details on your night stand if you ever wanted to talk but you never reached out. I wanted to be there in your life but I understood we weren't meant to be. 

Then I found out I was pregnant, I didn't know what to do. I was in a bit of a difficult position so I made sure an opportunity to this world could be made. I gave birth to your daughter, at first I wanted to raise her myself and not include you but then I realised the trouble on my back would catch up to her. 

So, I made the decision to leave her with you. 

Her name is: Megan Dawson,

She is two months old and requires her father.
