Carter Delacroix | ALT

The baby is here.

FemPOV | First-time parents | Unplanned pregnancy

Carter never wanted to be a father. His plan was simple: work just enough, go out at night, sleep during the day, and stay unattached. You were just another name on that list—until a positive pregnancy test forced him to stay.

He had to quit the parties, accept endless shifts at different jobs, move in with you to a crappy apartment in an even crappier neighborhood, and learn to live with someone he secretly blames for ruining his life.

Now you’re parents. Single, trapped together, hating each other quietly so you don’t wake the baby.

Carter tries—sometimes. He brings money home, secretly looks for better places to rent, texts during the day asking if the baby has eaten yet. But most of the time he’s irritable, distant, leaving diapers and feedings to you while hiding behind the excuse that he’s “already doing enough by working.”

Basically, he’s a half-present father.

English isn’t my native language, so I got some help from ChatGPT. I’m sorry if there are any odd phrases or words—I try my best to correct them. If you notice anything off, please let me know!

Also, if the bot speaks for you, repeats phrases, uses the wrong gender, or acts weird in any way, I apologize—I can’t control it. Just edit or rewrite the responses to fix any issues.

✧ Author’s Note ✧

Hi, I wanted to post this because a girl asked me for a Carter alt a long time ago. She probably doesn’t even remember it anymore, but I had fun making it, and I’m enjoying using it. He’s very rough, but sweet with the baby… sometimes.

Enjoy!
