"Beetle, finish your dinner, please. We gotta get you bath before it gets too late."
"Why?"
"Because you have daycare tomorrow. You don't wanna stink, do you?"
"What if I do?" Bailey asks, taking a bite of a chicken nugget.
"Well, you're not going to," Jacob chuckles.
"I wan' daddy to give me a bash."
"Don't talk with your mouth full, Haybail. And I know you do, but he's sleeping right now."
"Him always s'eeping," Bailey says quietly.
Josh lets out a breath. He's tried to explain to Bailey what happened, but she's too young to truly understand it.
It's been a little over a week now, and the most improvement that Tyler has made was eating a bowl of cereal. It didn't seem like much, but Jacob couldn't be prouder of him.
"Come on, honey, let's get you bath."
"Is didn't finish my food."
"That's okay, you can finish it later," Jacob says, standing up off the couch and sticking his hand out.
Bailey gets up off the floor and grabs the man's hand.
Filling the tub in the bathroom, Jacob picks out a pair of pajamas for the toddler as well as a fresh pull-up.
Helping the girl undress, he lifts her into the tub and begins to clean her.
Bailey sighs, "Papa?"
"Yeah, Beetle?"
"Will you get daddy, p'ease?"
Jacob sighs, rubbing shampoo into her hair, "Let me finish washing your hair and I'll try, okay?"
"M'kay."
"Head back."Bailey tips her head back, allowing Jacob to pour a cup of water over her hair to rinse the shampoo out.
Suddenly the bathroom door creaks open and Troye walks in.
"Daddy!"
The blond smiles lightly and sits on the closed toilet seat, watching tiredly as Jacob washes the toddler.
"I wan' daddy!"
Jacob sighs and pauses his hands. He looks up at Troye who holds out his hand for the washcloth.
Jacob gives it to him and switches places with him. Troye kneels on the floor and begins to wash the little girl's arms.
The bathroom falls silent with the exception of water splashing every few seconds.
Jacob looks up when Troye clears his throat, "Haybail, what do you want to be for Halloween?"
"A butterf'y!"
"You're gonna be a very beautiful butterfly," Troye smiles. "How about we go shopping tomorrow after Papa gets home from work? We can go find a costume and a candy bag?"
"Yeah!" Bailey grins cheerfully.
"Sounds like a plan."
"Are you excited to go trick or treating?" Jacob asks.
Bailey nods, "I'm gonna get candy!"
"You're gonna get lots of candy," Jacob chuckles.
"Yous has to dress up too!"
"What should we dress up as?" Troye asks.
"Pitcher and catcher," Jacob whispers.
Troye glances at him, holding back a laugh.
"Ash and Pika!"
Jacob grins and looks at his husband, "We've raised her good, I think."
"Oh definitely. Dibs on Pikachu."
"Then I guess I'm Ash."
Bailey claps excitedly making the couple smile.
"Let's finish cleaning you up and get you into bed," Troye says reaching for the hair conditioner.
