Charlie loves mornings.
Somewhere on his footy career journey, Charlie met y/n, and he grew very fond on her. She was someone who always made others smile and laugh, she always made Charlie nervous and understood the commitment it took for Charlie to be an AFL player. Charlie had finally got the courage to ask her out about a month of doing nothing.
They dated a year before Charlie proposed. He never thought he'd be the type of person to rush into things, he always thought he would date someone for a couple of years before sealing the deal. But Charlie knew that y/n was the one for him and he had a magical set up the night he proposed. They were in Italy and they had gone to dinner at a fancy restaurant over looking the sea. Charlie got down on one knee and opened the pretty white box and before he could even ask the question y/n got down on her knees as well, crying and saying 'yes!' over and over again.
One year after their wedding, they had a baby together, a son who they loved dearly. At every game y/n and their son would always be up in the stands cheering on Charlie.
Now here they are, the Curnow family now settled back at their home after Charlie had just played in Brisbane. Charlie and y/n are in an gigantic bed, cuddled up together in their slumber, Charlie on on his back and y/n nestled up against his chest. It's when Charlie's eyes began to flutter open open he hears the pitter-patter of tint feet coming down the hall.
The small child reaches his parent's bedroom and reaches up to curl his incredibly small fist around the door knob, turning it open. Once inside, he toddles over to the king size bed.
'Hey Tommy.' Charlie smiles, sitting up slightly as to not wake up y/n that was using his chest as a pillow.
'Hi daddy.' The little boy climbs up onto the bed, Charlie reaches down to help aid his son. 'No daddy I got it.' He grips onto the bed's comforter tightly in his fists, kicking his short legs behind him until he was completely on the mattress.
'Good job!' Charlie raises his palms in the air, to which Tomas happily takes this rewarded high five. The soft clap awakens y/n, causing het to grumble and rub her eyes.
'Mama's awake!' Tomas moves to between his parents and begins caressing his mothers face. 'Mamaaa!'
The gesture warms y/n's heart and she tiredly chuckles, pulling him down for a hug. 'Good morning, baby.'
'Good morning.' The little boy gives y/n a kiss on her cheek, making Charlie gasp, feeling hurt that she got one first.
'What about me?' Charlie's voice becomes in a higher pitch, putting on a show for his son to make it seem as if he was really upset.
'I didn't forget you daddy!' Thomas scotches over and and presses his lips to Harry's cheek, making Charlie smile from the loving gesture.
'Happy now?'
'Mhmm, thank you.' Charlie pinches Tomas's cheek, a string of giggles escaping the little boys throat. 'I assume you can in here to talk about breakfast? You're never awake this early on Sunday.'
'Noooooo.' Tomas shakes his head. 'I came in here to tell you about the stories in my eyes.'
Charlie tilts his head in confusion, y/n almost does so as-well until she figures it out.
'Dreams.' Y/n looks up at Charlie. 'You want to tell us about your dreams last night, bub?'
Tomas nods his head vigorously, making himself comfortable between the two adults as he began gushing about all the wild events that happened while he was asleep. Y/n and Charlie interacted as well, gasping dramatically when needed and asking questions.
'Isn't that all just crazy?' Charlie grabs his son's tiny wrist and shakes it.
'It scared me even!' Y/n places her hands over her eyes, peeking through her fingers.
'Don't be scared mama.' Thomas brings y/n's hands back down, kissing one of them. 'Daddy and I will protect you.' Tomas turns around and looks up and Charlie. 'Right daddy?'
'Of course!' Charlie grabs y/n's other hand and stokes his thumb across the back of it.
'We love mama don't we?'
'Mhmm! And we love the baby in mama's tummy!'
The room fell silent, but not for too long as Tomas adjusts himself on the bed. Tomas touches y/n's stomach, holding his palm against it.
'I want it to be a girl so I can have a little sister!'
Charlie's mouth is dry, swallowing multiple times to try to speak.
'You're......pregnant?'
Y/n gives a toothy smile, nodding her head frantically. 'I was going to tell you tonight at dinner but little mr over here couldn't keep a secret.'
'I'm sorry mama.' His lip starts to curve down in a frown, his eyes becoming watery.
'Oh no! It's okay bub!' Y/n sits up and pulls him onto her lap, caressing his cheek and hair. 'Mama was just joking.'
'Okay.' Tomas sniffles, wiping his eyes with the back of his hands. 'I don't want you to be made at me mama.'
'How could I be made at you, I love you too much.' She strokes his cheek with her thumb before placing a delicate kiss on his forehead.
'I couldn't never be made at you, now could I?'
'Are you mad I told you daddy, because mama was supposed to tell you not me?' The little boy looks up at his father with shining eyes.
'Of course not Tommy. I'm so glad mama's pregnant.'
'You are?' Y/n asks, her heart throbbing in her chest.
'Absolutely! I'm always constantly thinking about having another of these little gremlins.' Harry says as he bops Tomas on the nose.
'Heyyyy!' Tomas squeals. 'I'm not a monster daddy!'
'You're really okay with it? Because footy season has just started and the team has never been it better shape and-' Charlie presses his finger to y/n's lips, laughing while doing so.
'I love you so much, and we're going to have this baby.' He leans forward and connects their lips. The kiss was cut short, by a disgusted toddler.
'Ewwww stop it! Yucky!' Tomas had covered his eyes, his eyes wrinkled as if he's smelled something bad.
''I don't hear that when mommy and I kiss you.' Charlie begins planting kisses along the right side of his sons face while y/n placing kisses along the left side. The act causes a fit of giggles to erupt from the small boy, kicking his feet to try and get out of his parents embrace.
'You guys are suffocating me!'
Charlie laughs at his sons attempt to say the tricky word and gives him one lady big kiss before getting out of bed and hiking the toddler on his shoulders.
'Daddy don't drop me!'
'I'm offended. When would I ever?' Charlie marches over to y/'n side of the bed, placing her slippers in perfect position, for her feet to slide into the slippers. 'M'lady' Charle says with a curtesy. Y/n stifles a laugh while getting out of bed as well.
'What do you want to eat this morning little monster?' Y/n tickles her sons feet as she follows the boys into the kitchen.
'Pancakes!'
'I think that can be arranged.'
Charlie places Tomas on the floor, laughing as he walks a bit wobbly. He leans against the counter, crossing his arms as he takes the sight in of Tomas helping y/n crack the eggs. His eyes close slightly, breathing a bit slower than before, his body feels warm and tingly. Charlie absolutely his family.
And the new member coming soon.
