Sleepy baby
*Quin*
At 1am in the morning I was woken up to Ezekiel begging me to get Daniel to sleep.
"You got him so hyper, you sort it" I grumble but he won't stop asking me so I eventually agree. "Come on sweet pea, time for bed" I say as I walk into his nursery. Daniel was playing on the floor until I came in, he was looking at me with tired eyes but still seemed quite evergized.
"No, no sleep. Play! Can we watch another movie, pleaseeeee" Daniel bounces towards me with a big smile. I managed to pick him up and hold him close to my chest. He is wriggling a lot in my arms and if he doesn't stop I'm going to end up dropping him...
I managed to get him to my room where I take off his clothes and rub some lavender oil on him, it's meant to help littles sleep. I'm gently rubbing the oil into his skin and reciting old fairy tales I know. His frantic wriggling turns to complete stillness. His little hands clinging to me as his head lays on my shoulder. After two and a half stories he fell asleep on my chest.
"I have been trying for hours how did- you know what I don't care. Great job Q" Zeek says before kissing my cheek then falling asleep beside me. I let Daniel stay on my chest in bed in as he woke up.
Next morning, both of those two are so tired and groggy they haven't left my bed... I have work so I had to get out of bed but I left them to sleep in.
I get startled when I felt a tug on my shirt. "Dada" Daniel whines sleepily. I smile and pick him up, sitting him on my lap and he falls asleep on me.
"What a sleepy baby we have" Ezekiel says kissing my head as he walks in, making coffee for us both. "Wish he was like that when we actually wanted him to sleep" I chuckle.
"Maybe this will teach you, sugar bad before bed. Makes him too hyper and then he won't sleep" He rolls his eyes at me jokingly, sliding a mug towards me full of milky coffee. Ezekiel has his pitch black with one sugar.
As I'm working in notice two little hands reaching across the table towards my coffee mug. I slide it further up the table, away from him and out of his reach.
"That drink is not for little boys like you" I say as he looks up at me and pouts.
"What even is it" He asks me, making grabby hands at my mug.
"Coffee and it's for big boys" Ezekiel cuts in giving Daniel a different mug. "This is a little boy drink, hot vimto. Hot though so please be careful" Daniel blows it a few times before taking a slow sip and yelping. I take the mug from his hands as he let's it go so it doesn't smash.
"OWIE" Daniel cries due to his burnt tongue. I put down the mug and cuddle him.
"Poor baby, papa did say it was hot" I kiss his forehead and his tears turn for sniffles. When the drink actually cools down Daniel drinks it again and is kicking his feet happily.
"Do you want me to take this little monster off your hands?" Zeek asks me. Which makes Daniel stick his tongue out at him.
"Yes, please but no sugar!" I say letting Zeek pick Daniel up. "Daddy will play with you later baby" I reassure Daniel which makes him smile.
After hours of working, I finally close my laptop and walk to the living room. Daniel is asleep at Zeeks side, I lift up my poor babies limp body and laying it on top of mine when I cuddle into Zeeks side. His arm wraps round my waist and he puts on Brooklyn 99 because it's my favorite.
I love Kevin and Holt's relationship, I always have. They are made for each other along with Cheddar they are the perfect trio.
Zeek makes popcorn and gets me fruit gums which are my favorite sweets. He only knows all this because we have been friends for so long.
After watching a few episodes of Brooklyn 99 I want to go on a walk so I put Daniel in a custom made stroller.
.
It's even green, his favorite colour. I clip Daniel in and put a blanket over him so he isn't too cold. Ezekiel has some work to do so he is staying home. Before I leave I make sure to bring his diaper bag. It's starting to get dark but I don't mind, I stop in the shop to get some things for dinner. I even buy more applesauce packets.
"Where are we" Daniel rubs his little eyes gently.
"Hey sweet pea, I'm just doing a little shopping and then we are going back home. You can go back to sleep if you want" I rub his cheek gently.
"Bright" he whines so I pull the top down a bit more until his face is covered in shade. I was going to go down the sweet aisle but there are at least two littles having a tantrum so nevermind... I grab a few more items and pay. We walk home and he starts to wake up a bit more. Talking about the stars and moon. I'm just smiling and concentrating on taking My sleepy baby home for dinner.
For dinner I make chicken, potatoes for me and Zeek. Daniel gets chicken nuggets and mash potatoes with a bottle full of juice. I think Daniel likes it because he is kicking his legs happily at the table.
"Dessert?" Daniel asks me softly. He ate all his dinner and asked me so nicely...
"You get one, small sweetie... One" I make myself really clear. He comes back with a lollipop which I say is okay.
"How about tomorrow we go to the park" Zeek offers.
"Park? Yes! I wanna go, can we go?" Daniel is bouncing excitedly.
"Okay, but your nursery needs to be clean because it's dirty right now and good boys clean up their mess" I say which makes him speed upstairs to go and clean it making me and zeek laugh.
