Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 97

Don't look behind you...

Fawn's POV

"Happy birthday, baby!"

I said this as I set a plate full of mini pancakes covered in whipped cream before my daughter. The smile on her face was worth more than gold as she clapped happily in her seat.

Her little fist wrapped around her fork, and she stabbed into one, quickly bringing it to her mouth. I watched her with a smile as she ate the birthday breakfast.

"Slow down, dear, you don't want to make yourself sick," came Alastor's voice, followed by the feeling of his hands on my hips from behind.

I hummed and looked over my shoulder at him.

My brows furrowed slightly in question, "did you fix it?" I asked him quietly, and he looked down into my eyes, a soft smile on his face.

Our landline had been acting up. It was ringing nonstop this morning, but whenever we picked up there was no one on the other end. Just a busy signal.

He shrugged, "I believe so, but we'll need to wait a bit...if it goes a few hours without ringing, then we're probably ok," he assured me, and I nodded.

I leaned back into him, looking back towards Julie as she enjoyed her pancakes. She had whipped cream all over her face and on her nose, and I chuckled softly, placing a hand over my mouth.

Alastor chuckled and it vibrated from his chest into my back, then he slipped out from behind me and went over to her, bending down so he could be level with her.

"You silly goose, look at you," Al chided her playfully, "you got whipped cream all over your face, come here," he pulled out a handkerchief, and motioned for her to come closer.

She obeyed, letting him wipe off her face before she smiled and stabbed another pancake. The toddler offered some of her breakfast to Al, and he looked down at it for a moment.

He tried to tell her no, holding his hands up.

"Try, daddy!" She insisted, holding it closer to him, to which he sighed and opened his mouth, letting her feed him the treat.

I chuckled behind my hand at the interaction, and he glared up at me, but he was smiling.

He stood back up and came over to me.

"Very sweet..." he grimaced, and then took me by the waist and spun me, dipping me low before capturing my lips in a deep kiss.

When we parted and he stood me back up, he was smirking and I was blushing.

"But it was damn good," he added to his previous comment, making me blush harder.

I giggled and then there was a little scoff of disgust and we both looked over to see Julie covering her eyes.

"Gwoss daddy!" She complained, and we both laughed as he let me go.

"It's not gross, it's romantic!" I corrected her with a little smile, walking over to her to pick her up from her booster seat.

Once I had her on my hip, she smiled at me and then laid herself onto my shoulder.

"Your daddy takes care of you and I both, and he loves us very much...what so bad about showing that, huh?" I asked her, bouncing her teasingly as she giggled in my arms.

"Gwoss!" She repeated and I snorted softly and rolled my eyes, shrugging as I looked towards Al.

He was cleaning up the table, a soft smile on his face.
