Daithi's POV

"I'm gonna beat you, daddy." My son, (b/n), said to me.

We were currently playing Mario Kart and he was winning. I kept getting hit with every single item. Just when I was about to rage in front of my son, my wife, (y/n), shouted from down stairs.

"David, (b/n)! The pizza's ready!"

(B/n) and I both looked at each other.

"Race you down stairs." He said as he threw his controller down and ran out of my office.

"No fair. You got a head start." I said and ran into the hall.

I ran over to (b/n) and picked him up. The sound of his giggles filled the air. I smiled and carried him down the stairs and into the kitchen. When we entered the kitchen, I saw my sexy wife setting the table.

"Hey mommy." (B/n) said as I put him down.

"Hey (b/n)." (Y/n) greeted him.

"Daddy and I were playing Mario Kart and I was beating him." (B/n) said.

I walked over to the oven to get the pizza out.

"That's because I kept getting hit with every fucking item." I said.

(Y/n) gave me a stern look and walked over to me.

"David, you have to be careful with what you say around him. He's impressionable." (Y/n) whispered so (b/n) couldn't hear.

"It's alright. He doesn't know what it means." I said as opened the oven.

"It doesn't matter. He looks up to you, David. He'll do what you do." (Y/n) said.

She walked back over to (b/n). I grabbed the piece of metal that the pizza was on so I could pull it out, but it burned my hand.

"Shit!" I yelled and dropped the pizza to the floor.

(Y/n) and (b/n) turned to look at me. The pizza was on the floor and I was waving my hand to cool it off. (Y/n) sighed.

"What are we going to eat now?" (B/n) asked.

"Daddy can take you to McDonald's while I clean up the mess." (Y/n) said.

(B/n) went to the car while I wrapped up my hand in a bandage. (Y/n) walked over to me.

"You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. It's just a small burn." I answered.

I grabbed my keys and walked towards the front door. (Y/n) followed me.

"Remember what I said about (b/n). He really does look up to you, David." (Y/n) said.

"Don't worry, baby. He doesn't know what the words mean so, therefore, he won't say them." I tried to explain to her.

She gave me a look that told me that she didn't believe me.

"Whatever you say, David. Just go get some McDonald's." She said.

"Aye, aye, captain." I said and went to my car.

Time skip

(B/n) had his Happy Meal in his lap, eating, while I drove home. I took the toy out of the box because (y/n) says that it distracts him and he won't eat, so he has to wait until he eats all of his food.

Play the song!!!

Driving through town, just my boy and me
With a Happy Meal in his booster seat
Knowing that he couldn't have the toy 'til his nuggets were gone

On the way home, we were coming up to a red light. It suddenly changed from green to red, so I stomped on the brakes.

"Fucking hell." I mumbled so (b/n) wouldn't hear me.

(B/n)'s fries went all over the car and his drink spilled in his lap.

A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath
His fries went a-flying and his orange drink covered his lap

Well, then my four-year-old said a four letter word
That started with "s" and I was concerned  

"Shit." (B/n) said.

I looked over at him with wide eyes. So I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to talk like that."

He said, "I've been watching you, dad. Ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo. I wanna be like you. And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. We got video games and matching guitars (changed). Yeah, we're just alike. Hey, ain't we, dad? I wanna do everything you do. So I've been watching you."

We got back home and I went to the car (changed)
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard

I drove back home and we both got out of the car.

"Alright, (b/n), go inside and let mommy clean you up." I said.

"Where will you be?" He said.

"I'm gonna stay out here and clean the car." I answered.

"Alright." (B/n) said and took off towards the house.

I sighed and put my head on the dashboard. I said, "Lord please help me, help my stupid self."

Time skip

It was around nine o'clock so I decided that it was time for (b/n) to go to bed. I tucked him into bed and read him a bedtime story while (y/n) watched from the doorway, smiling. Once I finished the story, I went over to his night light and turned it on. What (b/n) did next, surprised me. He crawled out of his bed and got on his knees.

Then this side of bedtime later that night
Turning on my son's Scooby Doo nightlight
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
And spoke to God like he was talking to a friend

(Y/n) and I watched as he closed his eyes and folded his hands. He was praying.

And I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that."

He said, "I've been watching, dad. Ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo. I wanna be like you. And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. We like fixing things and holdin' momma's Yeah we're just alike. Hey, ain't we, dad? I wanna do everything you do. So I've been watching you."

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug  

(Y/n) had tears in her eyes and a smile on her face when she heard that.

I wrapped (b/n) in and hug and said, "My little bear is growing up."

He said, "But when I'm big, I'll still know what to do. Cause I've been watching you, dad. Ain't that cool? I'm your buckaroo. I wanna be like you. And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are. By then, I'll be strong as Superman. We'll be just alike. Hey, want we, dad? When I can do, everything you do. Cause I've been watching you."

(B/n) got back into bed. I tucked him in once again and he fell asleep. I looked over at (y/n), who still had a smile on her face. I smiled back and walked over to her.

"I told you that he was impressionable." She said and walked to our bedroom.
