One possible reason could be that Ryder lost one of his pups in a dangerous mission. He might feel responsible and break down in tears because of his love for the pups.
Maybe Ryder discovers that someone is trying to harm the Paw Patrol. This threat to his friends and the town they protect could be overwhelming and make him cry as he tries to figure out how to keep everyone safe.
It could also be that Ryder has a personal memory that resurfaces, like something from his past related to his family or an old failure. This memory could be so powerful that it brings him to tears in the fanfiction.
Writers can describe Ryder's physical reactions. For example, they can write about his eyes welling up with tears, his lip trembling, and his voice cracking. This will give the readers a clear image of him crying.
In most Paw Patrol fanfiction, Ryder's parents are often left as a mystery. Some fanfics might create original characters as his parents, giving them heroic traits similar to Ryder. However, there's no official information about them in the original Paw Patrol series, so it gives a lot of room for creativity in fanfiction.
The other Paw Patrol pups will surely take care of Ryder. They are a team and always look out for each other.
One possible plot could be that Ryder and Katie discover they are going to have a baby. They then start to prepare for the new arrival. Ryder might use his leadership skills from the Paw Patrol to organize things around the house, like building a nursery. Katie could be thinking about how to balance taking care of the baby and still being involved with the animals she loves. The other members of the Paw Patrol could also get involved, perhaps helping to babysit in the future or gathering supplies for the new family member.
One possible plot could be that Ryder gets hurt during a rescue mission. Maybe he slips while climbing a cliff to save a trapped animal. The other pups then have to take over the mission while also trying to get help for Ryder. They might call in some backup from other Paw Patrol friends like the Kitten Catastrophe Crew to assist in the rescue and medical care for Ryder.
In certain Paw Patrol fanfiction, Ryder's parents are portrayed as being part of a larger, more secret Paw Patrol - like organization in the past. This gives Ryder a connection to a bigger legacy. For example, they could have been the founders of some of the technology that Ryder now uses. It adds an interesting layer to Ryder's character and the overall Paw Patrol universe in the fan - created stories.
Perhaps Mayor Humdinger could be an antagonist. He might see Ryder and Katie's impending new family member as a distraction for the Paw Patrol and try to take advantage of the situation. He could plan some sneaky schemes to disrupt Adventure Bay while Ryder and Katie are focused on the pregnancy.
One example could be a story where Ryder gets hurt during a rescue mission. Maybe he slips and falls while trying to save a trapped pup. Another could involve Ryder getting injured by a malfunctioning piece of his high - tech gear.
There might be a fanfiction where Ryder travels to a parallel world where the Paw Patrol doesn't exist, but he still tries to help people using his leadership skills. He has to adapt to a whole new set of rules and challenges in this world.
Well, Ryder getting a cold in a fanfiction could lead to all the pups taking on extra responsibilities. They might try to make him special soup or find a magical cure in Adventure Bay. Maybe Chase would take over the leadership role for a while, but of course, he'd be constantly worried about Ryder and checking on him every five minutes.
