[name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] [Heriss] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m] (32) is Sophie’s husband and father of [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and their son-to-be. He is one of four siblings, younger than [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] but older than [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] jokes a lot about how she’s alone while her siblings have kids and/or got married but she loves having a sister-in-law with a name so close to hers. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] likes to joke that [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is her fave in-law for that reason. He’s very organised and focused, part of being an older sibling, but he’s not the eldest so he doesn’t try to overtake things too much. Kids excite him and he’s always wanted kids. Both children were completely planned and discussed ahead of time before trying to conceive. He remembers enjoying his last moments with [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] as 2 before baby [name_f]Maya[/name_f] made 3, and now has a lot of fun things for [name_f]Maya[/name_f] before her brother enters the scene. [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] loves kids but he’s considering stopping after [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and her brother, but he and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] haven’t set that in stone yet.
He’s excited about his new son and finds it sweet that Sophie’s students are volunteering in making art. Some have even made art for [name_f]Maya[/name_f] as well to keep her from feeling left out. At first [name_f]Maya[/name_f] didn’t want another sibling. She was tired of people talking about “this baby who wasn’t even born yet” and even faked sick to avoid the baby shower. And following her father’s planned ways of life, she actually tried hard to fake it. She mixed around some pasta, oil, yeast, and vegetables to make fake vomit. She feigned symptoms a few days ahead to “build up to her illness”. She napped a lot. She crumpled up tissues and threw them on her bed. She splashed warm water on her face and neck. She did the old “put a thermometer in something warm to raise the temperature”. She watched YouTube videos and did Google searches on how to fake sick. And yet despite her efforts in “training”, she stopped faking sick and claimed she was “all better” when she learned the baby shower would have cake!
Now [name_f]Maya[/name_f] is better prepared. To act sick? No, to welcome a new baby brother! [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] has also been happy for [name_f]Maya[/name_f] too and asks [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] as much as she can about the new baby. [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] knows [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] is an oceanographer, another reason why she’s so happy to him and always eager. [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] is very close with [name_f]Liz[/name_f] and her husband and engage in a lot of long conversations, especially about their kids. He’s also been supportive towards [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] during her pregnancies and is a nice husband, using her ways of chill relaxation during times where her pregnancy symptoms and cravings are spontaneous. [name_m]Theodoric[/name_m] isn’t spontaneous but he’s grateful for [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] in his life to reassure him when he gets worried. He and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] have finished up the backyard and have a small playground for [name_f]Maya[/name_f] to enjoy. And yes, she very much enjoys it.
