"i know i did not just carry this child for nine months for him to come out saying dad." is what the united sqaud hears when the duo walks in with a giggly baby in jadon's arms.
it wasn't long since the pair's baby had his chance at a first word; it was a restful saturday and the three were together. kai had occupied the full length of the couch while jadon sat on the floor, tickling the baby's stomach as he always seemed to erupt into cute little giggles.
"hey! he's a good kid, i mean saying daddy as your first word is awesommmmeeee. isn't it, lil man?" jadon asks the baby he's holding, who just just laughing at his dad's words, not understanding shit besides shaking his head frantically.
"see!" jadon exclaims, looking from his son to his wife. "baby agrees." he says, kissing his cheek, then kai's.
she srunches up her face, before lightly pushing him away and making a pouting face at her son. he laughs and nods towards kai's opened arms, happily resting his head on kai's shoulder.
"nah - that's so unfair, innit. i had him first!" he complains, looking around the room to see if anyone else had his side. no one did, seeing as they were all laughing at him and the sight of kai blowing raspberries onto the baby's cheek. king was the baby's name. jadon protested on naming the child after himself, but kai wanted it otherways, and he knew better than to disobey.
"unfair or not, look how happy he is to be with his mum." bruno says, caressing jadon's shoulder, indicating how king's eyes were bright with glee while kai made faces at him. "but don't worry, he'll like you when it's not time for his nap." he says, laughing then moving on to lightly pinch king's cheek.
it had only been a year since, and everyone seemed to love the sancho baby more than anything. always opting to hold him or babysit him, it was clear kai and jadon weren't the favorites anymore.
while jadon sighed and continued watching his wife and his son interact like that, he couldn't help but let a small smile tug at his lips at the sight. yes, all that was coming out king's mouth was gibberish but knowing the only word he said so far was daddy made jadon happy inside. surely he liked him more than kai, right?
"he's literally your twin." the voice of marcus broke jadon out of his thrance. "lowe it bruv, let him spend time with his mum." he went out to say, scoffing out a laugh as he patted his back.
"yeah but he spends so much time with her."
"lies, this is the first time i held him for the day." they heard kai say from the end of the table, king too busy sitting on her lap with her finger tightly squeezed in his tiny hands.
then again - it was true. king was the type of baby to drift to the person who he usually sees when he wakes up. and that person this morning being jadon, he hadn't let go of him till now.
"it's like he doesn't know which parent to go too," kai giggles, looking at marcus and jadon, noticing jadon's sad face, "well, he's gonna obviously pick me, i mean, i birthed the kid!"
"yea but i basically made him," jadon mumbles, not loud enough to let kai hear but marcus and alex sat a seat down shared a laugh.
as amara was now busy tickling king's chin, his cute laughs made it easy for him to slip into her arms, doubling with giggles when he gets lifted high into the air.
while he was up from her, kai took the chance to jog her way quickly to the two young men at the other end of the table.
"oh comn, you can't possibly be mad at that, he's a kid." she said, folding her arms and pulling her best sad look, big eyes with a small pout on her lips. it had been years and every time she did it, his heart couldn't seem to take it.
his face suddenly softened, causing marcus to laugh out loud at how thin-skinned he was. "i-i'm not baby! i promise." he said, reaching over in an instant to kiss her soft cheek. "it's just sometimes i think he spends most of his time with you."
"he doesn't though, that's the thing." she started, "he can't fall asleep on my lap like he does to yours," she points out, "i can't lie, your lap is pretty comfy..."
jadon chuckles at her last sentence, referring back to the time she had her head on his lap and king had tried to push her off jadon so he could sit there himself.
"he, he likes when you play peak-a-boo with him, i mean i tried it and the boy just wouldn't laugh." she sighs, pursing her lips.
"nah, for real though. i think everyone here has tried that, the only person he laughs to is jadon." alex chirps in, pointing at jadon.
"he also hates when i dress him. my style isn't even different from yours yet he likes when you pick his clothes." kai says again, recalling to mutiple times.
"yea coz' my style is good as fuck." the words leave his mouth in a scoff, smiling gracing his lips afterwards. "and he's just a stylish kid, can't blame him. just like his dad."
"exactly! he's just like you, what are you saying?" she rolled her eyes as he just seemed to realise what their conversation consisted of.
"oh." he drawls, a hand straying to behind his neck. a blush takes up his cheeks, "wait, yeah. what am i saying?" he laughs, realising his son was more than a copy of him.
"can't help it but he looks just like you in all honesty jadon." jesse pipes in, making kai gasp.
"excuse, he looks the perfect mix of both of us. he has my hair." she states, rather defensively.
"he does have alot of hair. he took your bush, kai."
"nahh - he has my hair. plus, he has my eyes." jadon says back.
"both of your eyes are brown, you idiot." alex says.
"yeah well he has my looks, he's so pretty." she said. kai was seriously in awe by the little boy's beauty sometimes. his little freckles did not stop kai from obsessing over him.
"he has your attitude too." jadon whispers.
"nope. that's something he definitely took from you. he looks people up and down when he thinks they talk too much." kai responds, pushing her chair closer. "what? you do that too." she says.
"i literally can't believe you two are agruing over your own son." bruno mutters pinching the bridge of his nose. "i mean i love you both but that's - woahh."
"shut up."
