Tales from the Borderlands One Shots

Coming Home

AU Vaughn X Reader requested by Nixolu

I'm really sorry for making this so late!  I finally caught up with my other requests so I hope you can forgive me! 

Also I changed this up a little bit so I hope you don't mind.

 I have an account on Tumblr for my other fandoms I'm currently into.  If I put them on Wattpad I'd never get anything done because I would get so distracted with one thing and another.  My account is nerdy-nerd.  As the same as on here, I write imagines, take preferences and head canons for:  Star Wars the Clone Wars, Skyrim and Assassin's Creed.  If you have any type of requests for those go onto Tumblr and send me an ask, I'd love to answer!

Enjoy!

"Your daddy is coming home in a few minutes sweet pea." 

You walk slowly back and forth, holding and bouncing your new born baby in your arms, waiting for a special someone to return home anytime now.  It had been a year since you had seen Vaughn, he wasn't even there to witness the birth of your baby boy, (boy name).  He was in the military, and it was only a couple of days ago when you got the phone call he was returning home.  The tears of joy wouldn't stop flowing down your cheeks as you held your baby close in your arms, whispering that he'll finally be able to see his daddy for the first time.

Everyone began to line up along the side of the hallway to the military plane, waiting anxiously for their loved ones to arrive.  Little ones clung onto their mom or dad's leg, asking when their person was coming.   Your eyes kept scanning the end of the hallway, and so far there was nothing. 

But just as you turned your head to kiss your baby boy gently on the head, your eyes caught the moving shadows of multiple individuals at the end of the hallway, and suddenly your heart began to race.  It would have been hard to spot Vaughn now, he had grown quite a bit in the years that the two of you had been together.  You were at least as tall up to his chin, he was almost as tall as Rhys.  It was going to be weird seeing him without the beard as well, and the glasses.  But that was a military thing; he had to shave and was required to wear contacts while he was over on the other side of the planet.  Seeing him after a year was really going to take you back a step and take in his new image, but you would love him just the same.

Finally, the shades of many greens and browns came into view, all blended in with another in front or behind or beside him or her.  The only thing you could spot were the faces and bare hands of the soldiers coming in through the hall.  Your lips curled into a smile as your eyes scanned the vast colors coming in; some ran up to their loved ones and almost spotted them immediately.  Others took their children and relatives in their arms and cried happy tears.  Where was Vaughn?

"(Y/n)!"

That voice was almost like music to your ears, and it made your heart flutter, making your eyes burn from the coming tears.  Your breath began to hitch in your throat as you saw a familiar figure run up to you while carrying a bag in one hand.  Vaughn was home now.

He came running up to you crashed his lips onto yours, taking in that taste that he missed so very much.  Your scent came to him and he smiled so brightly that the tears finally came flooding from his eyes.  He pulled away and caressed your cheek ever so lightly, afraid that if he came on any harder that you would vanish away again, but his eyes went down to the little figure being held securely in your arms.  (Boy name) began to whimper, so Vaughn took him carefully in his arms; this was the very first time he had ever held his baby boy.

Holding (boy name) close to his chest, Vaughn silently cried as he whispered to his baby boy, saying it's alright and that dad was home, at least until he was called to be flown out again.  But he wasn't worried about that now, all that mattered was that he was home with you and (boy name), he was with his family. 

"Hey little buddy," Vaughn said softly, kissing (boy name) on the cheek.  "Daddy's home now.  I'm not going anywhere."

Vaughn looked up at you once more, taking in your features; your smile, your eyes, your scent, everything.  He missed both of you so much.  He leaned in to kiss you once more, and it was long before you had to pull away to catch your breath.  You leaned your forehead against his.

Sniffling, you smiled as you touched Vaughn's cheek.

"Let's go home."

Grabbing his bag, you walked close to Vaughn as he played with his son's small fingers, and every couple of minutes he would lean over and kiss your head, happy he was home.

Vaughn wasn't going anywhere soon.  Serving his country was important of course, but being with his family meant everything to him, and he was to make sure he spent every second of it with you and (boy name).
