If She Gives You Her Heart Don't You Break It || Kate & Leo Oneshots

Nights haven.

Kate entered the bedroom after a long day of filming, hoping to find her husband and son snuggled up in their bed. And sure enough, there they were, Leo and Bear, sound asleep and looking peaceful. She took a moment to appreciate the heartwarming scene, feeling grateful for her family.

Leo, the doting father that he was, held their four-year-old son in his arms, his protective arm wrapped tightly around him. Bear was snuggled up against Leo's chest, his little hand resting gently on his father's cheek. The love between them was palpable, even in their sleep.

As she tiptoed closer to the bed, Kate couldn't help but smile. She knew Leo had a special connection with their son, a bond that only grew stronger with each passing day. Seeing them together like this filled her heart with warmth.

Leo's eyes fluttered open as he sensed her presence, and he gave her a sleepy smile. "Hey," he whispered, his voice husky.

Kate whispered back, "Hey. How long have you been asleep?"

"Not long," Leo replied, his eyes still heavy with sleep. "Bear fell asleep, and I couldn't resist joining him. Sorry if I'm taking up too much space."

Kate chuckled softly, shaking her head. "You're not taking up too much space, Leo. You're exactly where you're supposed to be."

Leo smiled at her words, then closed his eyes again. Kate watched him for a moment, admiring his peaceful expression as he slept, holding their son close.

Unable to resist, she reached out and traced the lines of his jaw with her fingertips, feeling the roughness of his unshaven beard. Leo's eyes fluttered open once more, and he caught her hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing it gently.

"What time is it?" he asked, his voice still groggy.

"Late," Kate replied softly. "You should go back to sleep."

Leo nodded in agreement, but he didn't let go of her hand. "I'm glad you're home, Kate. I missed you."

Kate's heart swelled with love and emotion at his words. "I missed you too, Leo. And Bear."

Leo chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I see how it is. I'm just a distant third place."

Kate laughed softly, then leaned in and pressed her lips to his in a sweet, tender kiss, filled with all the love and tenderness they shared.

As they parted, Kate watched as Leo's eyes drooped once again, his breathing slowing. She knew he would be asleep in a matter of seconds.

Just as she turned to leave, she heard Bear's voice behind her. "Mama?"

Kate turned back, seeing Bear's bright blue eyes looking up at her with sleepiness. "Yes, darling?"

"Can you lay down with us?" Bear asked, his voice small and innocent.

Kate smiled at her son's request, her heart swelling with love for him. She climbed into bed on the other side of Bear, wrapping her arm around him and holding him close, feeling Leo's warmth at her back.

Together, the three of them drifted off into a peaceful slumber, safe and content in each other's arms. In moments like these, they were reminded of the beauty and joy that came with having a family, and how lucky they were to have each other.

As they slept, Kate's mind drifted back to the early days of Leo and Bear's relationship. She remembered how nervous Leo had been the first time he held their newborn son, how he had cradled him so delicately, as if he were afraid he might break him.

But as the days and weeks went by, Leo grew more confident in his role as a father. He had always been great with kids, but he seemed to have a special connection with Bear, a bond that was unbreakable.

Kate had never been one to co-sleep with her children, but Leo had insisted that Bear sleep with them from the very beginning. At first, she was hesitant. She worried that they would roll over on him, or that he would get tangled in the blankets.

But Leo had been persistent, and he had eventually convinced her to give it a try. And now, two years later, she couldn't imagine sleeping any other way.

Co-sleeping had become a routine for their family. Every night, Leo would tuck Bear in between them, and they would all fall asleep together. It was a time for them to connect, to feel close and safe and loved.

Kate had read countless articles about the benefits of co-sleeping. She knew that some people were against it, citing safety concerns or potential attachment issues. But for her family, it had been nothing but positive.

Bear had always been a good sleeper, and Kate attributed it to the fact that he felt secure and comforted when he was close to his parents. And for Leo, co-sleeping had been a way for him to bond with his son on a deeper level.

As Kate lay there in the darkness, listening to the sound of Leo's breathing, she felt grateful for the life they had created together. It wasn't always easy, of course. They both had demanding careers, and there were times when they barely saw each other for days on end.

But moments like these made it all worth it. Moments when they could simply be together, as a family, without any distractions or interruptions.

In the morning, they woke up to the sound of Bear giggling. He had somehow managed to wriggle his way to the center of the bed, and was now bouncing up and down, his tiny hands grasping at the blankets.

Leo groaned, rubbing his eyes. "Is it morning already?"

Kate chuckled. "Looks like it."

Leo sat up, scooping Bear into his arms. "Come on, buddy. Let's go make some breakfast."

Bear squealed with delight, his arms wrapping around Leo's neck.

Kate watched as they disappeared out of the room, feeling a surge of love for her two favorite people in the world.

As she got up to start her day, she couldn't help but think about the future. She knew that there would be challenges ahead, as Bear grew older and their lives became more complicated.

But she was confident that they could face anything together, as long as they had each other. And as long as they continued to create moments like these, moments of love and connection and togetherness, she knew that they would always be okay.
