Baby Boy [DISCONTINUED]

5.

"Thank god, you're here," Josh says, as he opens the front door and Dallon can immediately hear the crying coming from inside.

"Yeah, I am. And I really regret it already." "Please, just help me... I am close to crying too and Tyler is so grumpy." "I really don't know what to do." "You will, soon enough."

Dallon walks into the living room and sees Brendon on the couch, crying, screaming and kicking his feet.

Tyler is sitting on the couch too, with a pout on his face and tired eyes.

"Hey there, Brendon... Calm down..." Dallon says, slightly awkward and not really knowing what to do.

He just sits down next to the crying little and puts a hand on his back, in an attempt to soothe him.

Brendon just keeps crying and he tries to push Dallon away, but the tall man just pulls him a little closer to his chest.

He wanted Brendon to be okay and to stop crying because it kind of hurt him to see Brendon like this.

"Hey, hey, hey... You're okay, Bren. You're alright," he says, in a soft, soothing voice and he keeps repeating it until Brendon has calmed down.

He then just holds Brendon to his chest, rocking him ever so slightly, until the little falls asleep in his arms.

In the time that Dallon calms Brendon down, Josh brings Tyler to bed and when he gets downstairs again, he smiles at the sight in front of him.

Brendon is finally asleep and Dallon is holding him, rocking him softly.

"Do you want me to bring him to bed, Dallon?" "No, he's gonna wake up again, if you do." "Alright."

Josh smiles and Dallon gives him a warning look, not wanting Josh to say what he was thinking.

"You do have the instincts. If you didn't, you would've said yes, if I had asked if I needed to put Brendon to bed." "I would fight you on this if I didn't have a sleeping little in my lap, right now." "that only proves that you have them." "Shut up and go to sleep. I'll sleep on the couch, with Brendon." "Alright, here's a blanket." "Thanks."

Josh goes upstairs and Dallon just tries to fall asleep, but Brendon wakes up again. His bottom lip starts trembling and he whines softly.

"What's wrong, baby boy?" "I wants a daddy, just like Ty." "You'll find a daddy, Brendon." "But I wants you as my daddy..." "Look, honey... I don't think that I can be your daddy because I don't really have the time to take care of someone... I'm sorry."

Brendon almost starts throwing a tantrum again, but Dallon just holds him close and rubs his back.

"Come on, let's get you to bed, Brendon." "No, Beebo doesn't need to sleep." "I think Beebo does need to sleep." "No!" "Come on. I'll go sleep with you. But you do need to sleep because it's already really late and you'll get all tired and grumpy tomorrow. And I don't think Josh is gonna like that." "You're not gonna leave." "I won't." "Pinky promise?" "I pinky promise."
