"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

you groaned and sat up, rubbing the fatigue out of your eyes. looking at the clock, it read 4:31 AM. 

what an unsatisfying number.

it had been days of this, getting woken up at ungodly hours because of your child's incessant screaming. 

but then... it stopped.

it finally stopped!

"kuni-" you cut yourself off when you looked next to you and saw the vacant space next to you, where your husband would be sleeping. confused, you pulled the covers off of you and begrudgingly looked around to find him. you made sure your steps were quiet to prevent the baby from waking up again.

you walked into the nursery room - which was one of the guest bedrooms that you two converted into the baby's room and saw something that made your heart melt.

scaramouche was sitting on a stool next to the baby's crib, your small child grasping onto his finger as it fell asleep again tucked under the blankets. his indigo eyes were fully on your child, looking like he was completely and utterly lovestruck by how small she was. 

you smiled and walked inside the dim room, "hey."

scaramouche looked up at you, a small smile on his face. "hey."

he patted his lap, and you sat down on it. once you were settled, he gave you a sweet kiss on the lips as his free arm wrapped around your waist. "did the baby wake you up too?"

"yeah," you nodded. "she's a handful."

"just like you," he softly snickered, making you roll your eyes.

"yeah yeah, whatever."

scaramouche looked down at your kid again, smiling softly. "she's beautiful, y/n. the epitome of perfection."

"she really is," you said, admiring her with your husband. "just like you."

he laughed a little but concealed it under a scoff, "did you call me 'beautiful'?"

"yes i did," you retorted, booping his nose. "you're my beautiful husband."

he rolls his eyes, "you dork."

"you married this dork."

"and i'll never regret it," he said, nuzzling his nose into your neck, making you softly laugh.

"i love you both," you replied, referring to you and your daughter.

"i love you both too," he said with a love-filled smile.


this isn't going to be an actual scene, but you can guess what the theme will be for the 4th book :)
