5sos Imagines

Him as a parent☯m.c

"Michael I'm literally going to take like 20 minutes,seriously you'll be fine and besides he's asleep"you laughed as you pulled your shoes on and grabbed your car keys.You had come from the hospital with a baby boy two weeks ago but Michael still wasn't used to staying with his son alone.But today he didn't have a choice.

"Why can't I go to the shop and you stay at home?"he begged,peering down into the cot where your son was fast asleep."Because Michael,you need to learn to stay with him on your own and I've been stuck in this house for days I need to get out or I'll go insane"you rolled your eyes.

"Now I'm leaving before you say anything else,bye I love you"you said quickly giving him a kiss on the cheek before rushing out the front door.

It hadn't  even been 5 minutes before you were already getting a call from Michael."I'm driving,what do you want"you hissed."What should I do when he wakes up?"he asked."God Michael,bye"you snickered."No wait seriously babe don't hang up"he whined."Bye"you giggled,throwing your phone onto the passenger seat.

Michael thought he was a bad parent but you thought otherwise.It was his first time so he was learning slowly.It was taking him an awfully long time to learn how to change a nappy but you were sure he would get there eventually.You wished that he would see that he wasn't a bad parent though,just a young,normal 27 year old who's never been through this before and doesn't know what to expect.

As you arrived at the supermarket,you cleared your mind of the thoughts you were having while driving and focused on what you needed to buy so you could get home to Michael quickly but of course before you got out of the car your phone was ringing again.

"Hi"you murmured softly but Michael skipped the greetings and went straight into talking."He's awake and I don't know what to do now"he blurted."Well where is he now?"you asked."I'm holding him and he's staring at me making those cute baby noises,God he's so beautiful Y/N,he has your eyes and-"
"and your nose and lips,we made him"you finished for him."Yeah.."he trailed off."Michael if he's not crying you don't need to do anything though"you laughed lightly ."So I just like sit here and watch him or something?"he whispered.You smiled. when you heard baby noises in the background before answering Michael"Yeah basically,you don't need to do anything,you're doing great Michael stop worrying"you chuckled."But do you think he doesn't like me?"he insisted."He does like you trust me,I have a mother instinct connection thingy with him and he told me that he likes you"you assured him."Wait why isn't there a father instinct connection thingy?"Michael exclaimed."There is babe,but he's waiting till the day he has something really really special to tell
you so it'll all be worth it"you responded.

"Are you almost home?"Michael sighed,changing the subject almost like he didn't believe you."What?no I just got here,I'm walking into the supermarket now"you laughed."Oh"he said."You don't need my help Michael you're doing well with him on your own"you added quietly."But what if I drop him?"he wondered."I'm not even going to bother answering that"you stated.

"Do you want me to stay on the line Michael?"you asked knowing that it would make him feel better about being left alone with a baby."Yeah"he answered sound absent-minded.

After that it was quiet and no words were exchanged between the two of you.You got on with your shopping quick with just the sound of baby noises on the other end of the phone.After about 10 minutes had passed and you still hadn't heard anything from Michael you spoke up."Michael?"you murmured."Sssh,we're having a father- son moment,don't ruin it!"Michael exclaimed."Oh right,sorry"you whispered."Never mind you already ruined it"Michael sighed."Really feeling the love.."you trailed off."Are you coming home yet?"Michael asked."Yeah I'm at the checkout now"you assured him."Alright"he said before it went silent again with baby noises being the only source of noise.

You arrived home to find Michael feeding his son.He was singing a soft lullaby that you couldn't recognise because his voice was so quiet.You got your phone out and took a picture before you ruined the moment.The sound of your camera caused Michael to turn around quickly but relaxing his tense shoulders after realising it was only you.

"Hi,you're back"he grinned."I am"you nodded walking over to him and giving him a quick kiss."See it wasn't so bad being left alone"you laughed."You didn't drop him and that's great"you added.But the look on Michael's face told you that he wasn't fully convinced.

"Michael...,I know you worry about being a bad parent but trust me you're not,he may not know it yet because he's a baby but in time he'll know and see how much you love him,this is a first time thing for both of us and you're doing great no matter what you think,he never cries when you hold him and you just fed him all on your own without me to help you and you both survived so stop worrying,you're doing great and I love you"you spoke,hoping that Michael would believe you that you meant every word."I love you too"he whispered."And this little guy,I love him too"he added."I think we should have another little guy...or little lady"you smirked."What?!are you crazy.Not yet not now,maybe next year or the year after.Why don't you ask me again in about 3 years"Michael chuckled."I know babe I was joking"you sighed.It was a sigh of happiness and relief.Life was finally good and this is where you wanted to be.
