Granthoma One-Shots

Daddy

"Daddy? Mommy?" Grant propped himself up on his elbow as he heard his five year old son, Tommy, call from the bedroom door. He saw him standing there with tears streaming down his face.

"What's wrong Tommy?" He asked as he made his way to the bed and climbed up, dragging his blanket behind him.

"I had a bad dream." He whispered. Grant wiped the tears off his cheeks and pushed his fringe out of the way of his green eyes.

"Do you wanna tell me what happened?" He asked, softly. Tommy nodded.

"There was a monster under my bed and it ate me." He said softly. LA shifted on her side of the bed and her eyes opened. As she saw her son in tears, she sat up. She looked at Grant, confused.

"He had a nightmare." He told his wife. LA nodded.

"C-Can I stay in here?" Tommy asked.

LA nodded. Grant replied, "Of course you can buddy." He crawled over Grant's legs and laid between Grant and LA. Grant rolled onto his side and draped his arm over Tommy, his hand reaching LA's waist. LA did the same.

About two hours later the voice of Grant and LA's five year old daughter, Tommy's twin sister, Grace called softly from the door, "Mommy? Daddy?" Grant, being the lighter sleeper, woke again and propped himself up on his elbow.

"What's wrong Princess?" He whispered.

Grace walked to the bed and climbed on it, holding her blanket in her little arms, her brown eyes filled with tears. "I had a bad dream. There was a person in the house and they hurt you and Mommy." She whispered, crawling into Grant's lap. Grant wiped a few tears off her face. "Daddy, can I stay in here?" Grant looked over at Tommy who was cuddling into his side and then at LA who had her arm draped over him, her hand resting on Grant's waist.

Grant nodded. "Sure baby." Grace climbed over him and laid next to her twin brother and tucked herself under LA's arm. Grant rolled over and draped his arm over both of his children.

LA blinked as her eyes adjusted to the light. She slowly sat up in the bed. She looked over at her husband to see him tangled up with Tommy and Grace. Grace had her head on his chest and her arms were wrapped around him and Tommy had somehow moved so his head was at the wrong end of the bed, meaning that Grant's arms were around his feet. LA giggled softly and reached out to move a piece of hair from Grant's eyes. "Snowflake?" Grant mumbled, reaching for his wife's hand.

"Did you just call me snowflake?" She asked. Grant nodded sleepily.

"Is that a problem?" He mumbled.

"Nope. It's really adorable." LA looked at Grant tangled up with their twins and smiled. "You look adorable right now."

Grant slowly sat up and unwrapped his kids from his arms. He smiled at LA. "You look adorable too, Snowflake."
