Mama Lo - Analogical

Logan used to be a signal parent which was tough but rewarding, he loves his son Roman very much. But he's no longer a single parent. And now he has two sons who he loves very much. Don't get him wrong he loves his husband too.

----------------------------

"Mama Lo!" A tiny yet loud voice shouts from down the hall. "Mama Lo?" Another voice shouts, just as tiny but quieter and more shaky. Logan groans from his place on the sofa, one arm around the back of sofa and in turn is around his husband. "Go on mama Lo, they're calling for you specifically," Virgil says, moving himself so he's no longer leaning against him, encouraging him to go see their sons (not that he needs it).

So, Logan gets up after giving Virgil a peck on the cheek, wandering out of the room and to the bedroom which his sons share. He peeks his head in, half hoping the boys no longer want him and have settled by themselves but that's not the case. "Mama Lo!" Roman shouts from his place on his brother's bed but still on top of the covers, Patton sitting next to him huddled under the covers, wet tear tracks on his cheeks, not crying anymore but eyes quite teary still.

Logan huffs slightly at the nickname that unfortunately stuck when Virgil had jokingly called him 'mama' but their sons adopted it too, so, he suffers with it now. He smiles fondly at the boys before moving to sit on the end of the bed, running his thumbs over Patton's cheeks to rid his tears. "Why aren't you in your own bed, Ro?" He asks and Roman's smile falls from his face, assuming his dad is going to make him go back to his own bed regardless of what he says now.

"Pat had a nightmare and I'm here to protect him," Roman states, and Logan has to admit that's very sweet of Roman. "Are you alright now, Pat?" Logan asks and Patton wordlessly nods his head, this only indicates that he certainly isn't okay. "Will you be okay if I let Roman stay in your bed for tonight, so he can protect you of course?" Logan offers, pulling the blankets back to allow Roman to move underneath next to Patton.

Patton nods again, "yes mama." Logan just smiles at the name, kisses Patton on the forehead, then kisses Roman's head. "Night night my boys," Logan says as he gets up, receiving two little, tired voices replying, "night night mama Lo." He watches as Roman and Patton cuddle closer before leaving their room, door staying slightly ajar in case either of them need him again.

Logan returns back to the living room, Virgil still sitting on the sofa watching the television but just barely, his eyes obviously drooping. "Come on Virge," Logan says, holding a hand out which Virgil takes and is helped up to stand. "Bedtime," Logan tells him, pulling his husband close for a short hug, and Virgil ignores the fact that Logan is using his dad voice on him.

"Are the boys okay?" Virgil mumbles against Logan's shoulder where his head has fallen, Logan smiles fondly and responds, "yeah, Patton had a nightmare so Roman's staying in his bed tonight to protect him." Virgil hums in response, allowing Logan to pull away from him and lead him into their bedroom. They're quickly into bed and asleep knowing they will be woken up pretty early by their sons; they are and they don't particularly mind, well, Virgil does but he doesn't tell their sons that.
