Why I love you - Lance Tucker

Pairing: Lance Tucker x Caucasian plus sized reader

Warning(s): none

I groaned softly while turning around reaching for out for Lance next to me. I furrowed my eyebrows and opened my eyes, blinking and trying to get a clear view in the dark.

I groaned again and yawned before sitting up straight and rubbing my eyes. "Lance?", I mumbled softly. When I got no answer in return I turned the light on my nightstand on, blinking at the brightness.

I looked at Lance's empty bedside and frowned, missing his warmth. I was about to call out for him again when I suddenly hear his voice through the baby monitor, "I'm here baby girl", Lance's soft voice spoke through the monitor.

I chuckled softly before removing the covers of my body and standing up of the bed. I slowly walked out of our shared bedroom and towards Ellaby's room.

Upon arriving there I saw that the door to her nursery was wide open. Lance was sitting on the rocking chair next to her crib, holding Ellaby. He was staring at her in awe, a sweet smile on his face. Ellaby was staring right back at Lance. The sight made my heart swell with joy.

Ever since I gave birth to her she, Lance's been head over heels in love with her. He fed her, changer her diapers and sung her to sleep. He was so supporting during the pregnancy, he never complained about my nagging, cravings and awful mood swings.

Ellaby was came unexpected, we had talked about having kids together but we were together for over a year when I found out that I was pregnant. I was afraid that Lance wasn't ready and would leave me the second I'd tell him.

But the reaction I got was the total opposite. He cried tears of joy and bent down to kiss my stomach, telling me how much he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. His sweet confession made thick tears stream down my face.

He was a proud father who loved his daughter deeply. "Look at you baby, so beautiful", he whispered as she cooed and smiled at him. "Look at your beautiful smile, I still can't believe that Mommy and me made you...Look how perfect you are", he continued, his stare never leaving hers.

Ellaby giggled and put her little fist in her mouth and sucked on it. "I can't believe that Mommy carried you for nine months in her belly, protecting you from any harm and loving you since day one. You're lucky that you have the best mommy in the world, she loves you unconditionally and would do anything for you. One of the reasons I fell in love with her, she gives her all and loves hard...I knew the second I met her that she was the one. The one I wanted to marry and have you with", Lance spoke while Ellabuy's eyes started closing as he continued speaking.

"I'm so grateful for the two of you, your beautiful mommy made me a better person so I could be the best father to you my sweetheart. And I promise you that I'll do anything in my power to protect the two of, you're my treasures", he finished as he smiled at Ellaby who was fast asleep.

He gave her a gentle kiss on the head before standing up and putting her in her crib. When he turned around and saw me smiling from the doorway he motioned for me to come closer to him. I smiled and walked over to Lance.

When we were facing each other he pulled me into a tight hug. "I love you so much", he whispered close to my ear. I sighed happily and hugged him tighter. "I love you to Lance", I answered. We pulled back after a few seconds and stared lovingly in each other's eyes. "I mean every word, you two or my treasures and I'll do anything to protect you", he confessed, his loving stare never changing.

I smiled at him and leaned in, pressing my lips against him. Lance sighted in the kiss and caressed my cheek. "Come, let's go back to bed", I proposed. Lance nodded his head before glancing one last time and Ellaby, who was sleeping peacefully in her crib, before taking my hand in his and walking together out of her nursery.
