The resident Conrad and Gigi post 5x03

Togetherness in the night.

A few weeks later, the crisp autumn air filled the park as Conrad and Gigi enjoyed a daddy-daughter day. The leaves crunched under their feet as they walked along the path, Gigi's tiny hand securely held in Conrad's.

"Dada!" Gigi exclaimed, pointing excitedly at a squirrel scampering up a tree. Conrad smiled, his heart swelling with love at her enthusiasm.

"Yes, G, that's a squirrel," he said, lifting her to get a better view. Gigi giggled, her eyes wide with wonder.

They made their way to the playground, where Gigi's eyes lit up at the sight of the swings. Conrad lifted her into one and began to gently push, her laughter filling the air.

As they played, Conrad couldn't help but feel grateful for these moments. Despite the challenges, days like this reminded him of the joy and love that came with being a father.

After an afternoon of fun, they sat on a bench, sharing a snack. Gigi leaned against Conrad, her small body warm and content.

"Dada, happy," she murmured, looking up at him with a smile.

Conrad kissed the top of her head. "Me too, G. Me too."

After their snack, Conrad decided to take Gigi to the duck pond. As they approached, Gigi's eyes widened with excitement at the sight of the ducks swimming and quacking.

"Ducks, Dada! Ducks!" Gigi exclaimed, her little finger pointing towards the water.

"Yes, G, ducks," Conrad chuckled, holding her hand as they walked closer. He pulled out a small bag of bread crumbs from his pocket, kneeling to Gigi's level. "Do you want to feed them?"

Gigi nodded eagerly, grabbing a handful of crumbs and tossing them towards the ducks. She squealed with delight as the ducks swam over, gobbling up the crumbs.

They spent a good while at the pond, Gigi fascinated by the ducks and Conrad enjoying watching her pure joy. Eventually, they started to make their way back home, the sun beginning to set and casting a warm glow over the park.

As they walked, Conrad noticed Gigi starting to slow down, her energy from the day beginning to wane. He scooped her up into his arms, and she rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes drooping.

"Dada, love you," she murmured sleepily.

Conrad's heart melted. "I love you too, G," he whispered, holding her close.

When they arrived home, Billie was waiting for them at the door. "How was your day?" she asked, smiling at the sight of Gigi fast asleep in Conrad's arms.

"It was perfect," Conrad replied softly, carrying Gigi inside. "Perfect."

After a fun-filled morning at the park, Conrad carried a sleepy but slightly fussy Gigi back home. Her tiny head rested on his shoulder, but she was still squirming a bit, not quite ready to settle down.

"Time for a nap, little one," Conrad whispered as he walked through the front door.

Gigi mumbled and rubbed her eyes, letting out a small whine. Conrad gently laid her down in her crib, but she kicked her legs and fussed, clearly not wanting the fun to end.

"Shh, it's okay, Gigi," Conrad soothed, rubbing her back gently. He handed her favorite stuffed giraffe, Mr. Giraffe, to her. Gigi clutched Mr. Giraffe tightly, her whines slowly turning into soft murmurs.

Conrad hummed a lullaby, his voice calm and reassuring. Gradually, Gigi's eyes began to close, her grip on Mr. Giraffe loosening as she finally started to drift off to sleep.

Conrad stood by the crib for a moment, watching his daughter sleep peacefully. The events of the morning replayed in his mind—the laughter, the games, the pure joy on Gigi's face. It was moments like these that made everything worthwhile.
