Baby boy

Nap time

Damien's POV
   I walk to Bear's room with him perched on my hip. His little arms wrapped tightly around my neck. His heart still ponds slightly, each beat reminds me of how I scared my poor baby boy.
 
As I walk, I place gentle kisses on his head which causes him to bury his head into my chest.

As soon as he sees his room, his eyes light up and he examines all of it in wonder which breaks my heart slightly.

I lay him down on the changing table, which causes him to whine at the loss of contact. I quickly grab everything that I'll need to change his diaper.

I see him start to get anxious so I rub his tummy for a few seconds before I undo the tabs of his diaper.

Immediately his face blushes a bright tomato red which causes him to attempt to cover his face. I think it's absolutely adorable and I coo internally at my precious little boy.

  "There is no need to be embarrassed baby, Daddy doesn't mind changing you" I say as I rub his thigh for a second before changing him as quickly as I can.

He keeps his hands on his face the entire time. However the second I step over to the dresser he removes them and searches frantically for me. Calming slightly when he sees me. I grab a dinosaur sleeper that I really hope he likes.

I quickly step back over to him and change him to make sure he doesn't get cold.

  "Soft" he murmurs quietly with a big smile on his face causing a matching one to appear on mine.

  "You like that baby boy?" I ask, seeing him nod and his eyes start to close, his blinks getting slower and slower.

  "It's nap time" I think to myself.

So I pick him and walk over to his crib. I place him gently in the crib and give him a tiger stuffed animal and cover him with a soft blanket.

I stand and start to turn to leave when I hear a quiet "no leab" come from my baby, which immediately makes me turn back and sit down.

  "I love him so much, he's so precious" I think to myself.

  "Daddy isn't going anywhere" I reach through the bars and gently stroke his little tummy as his eyes close more.

  "Daddy loves you bear"
  "Lobs daddy too" he says softly before falling asleep which leaves me feeling overwhelmed with happiness.

I sit beside my baby, feeling happy that he loved me and called me daddy already. Mixed in with that is overwhelming guilt and anger.

Guilt for how badly I scared my baby without even knowing it and anger for the monster that hurt my little boy that badly.

  "No one will ever hurt you again, I promise." I whisper, making a vow to protect him, before I stand up and walk to the door.

  "Daddy loves you so much baby bear" I say as I walk out of the room, closing the door quietly behind me.

I walk down to the kitchen where I see my lovely wife. I quickly hug her tightly from behind. She grabs my hands with hers and leans back into me. I kiss her forehead.

  "Did he fall asleep?" She asks
  "Without an issue" I reply
  "I'm so happy" she murmurs
  "Me too darling" is my response
  "Why don't we watch an episode of our show till he wakes up?" My lovely wife Lauren asks.
  "That sounds like an amazing idea, my love"

We walk to the couch where we cuddle until little man wakes up or I guess until we have to wake him up from his nap.

Thank you everyone for being so patient with me. I've had some mental health and other stuff this year but I promise I'll get back to posting more regularly.

If you have any ideas or comments or questions or anything please let me know you can dm me if that's easier.

Thank you so much for reading.

How do you think Jesse's first night will go? Will he have any more flashbacks or issues? You'll have to see.

Till next time. Thank you all. I love you so much!
