Baby Steps (Neko! Ichimatsu x Neko! reader)

For CryptOfDrawings

I was sitting on the couch reading when I felt a tug on my tail. I look down to see my baby Katie. She had started to crawl recently and would pull my tail. I just smile and pull her up onto my lap. I bounce her on my knee as she laughs. I watch her ears and tail we're growing in pretty well and she seems to have accommodated. I smile and kiss my daughter's cheek.

"You're a happy baby. Happy happy baby." I coo as I bounce her. I glance at the clock and hum "Well I should go wake Ichimatsu. He's been napping for a while." I say and get up. I set Katie down and walk away to wake up Ichimatsu. I heard her cooing and some shuffling so I figured she was crawling to follow her mommy.

I walk into our room and smile when I saw Ichimatsu curled up in bed. It made me smile to see him so peaceful. I walk over and nuzzle up against him. He hums and nuzzles into my shoulder. I smile and kiss his cheek "wake up sweetie. Me and Katie want some attention." I coo and he chuckles before pulling me down into a hug. "Ah! Ichimatsu! You need to get up!" I exclaim with a laugh.

He smiles and kisses my forehead "I don't really want to." He says and I hear cooing behind me. I turn my head to see Katie. "Oh hello Katie. You got here pretty quickly." I say before getting out of bed and pulling Ichimatsu out of bed as well. He sighs and sits on the bed. "I'll let you try to wake up." I say and went to leave. I hear shuffling again but this time Ichimatsu spoke.

"Uh..y/n. You may want to turn around."

I turn around to see that Katie has pushed herself up onto her legs. She wobbled a bit and took two steps before falling onto her butt. She let out a laugh and I look at her surprised. I went down to my knees and pat the floor "Come on Katie. Try again. Walk to mommy." I say and she tilts her head with a coo. I gave her a smile and urge her to try again.

She pushed herself onto wobbly legs and I held my breath as she took a step. "That's it. Walk to mommy." I coo and she laughs before taking a few more shaking steps in my direction before falling into my open arms. I wrap my arms around her and stood up. "She did it! It was a short distance but she walked! Katie took her first steps!" I exclaim while bouncing the now laughing baby.

Ichimatsu stood up and smiled "that..was by far the cutest thing I have ever seen." He says and I smile "Well..aside from you." He says and I smile as I intertwine our tails. "She is growing up fast. Isn't she?" I ask and he smiles before kissing my forehead along with Katie's. "She is but don't worry. she is still a baby." I nod with a smile and lean my head onto his shoulder, my ears folding back a bit.

"I love you Ichimatsu." I say softly and he smiles. He pulls both of us into a hug and kisses me softly. "And I love you and Katie. I love you both." I smile and nuzzle my face into his chest while Katie coos. "Well, the both of us love you too. Isn't that right Katie?" I ask and she coos before reaching up to pat Ichimatsu's face.

Both Ichimatsu and I laugh before hugging each other with Katie between us. She was laughing up a storm as we both kissed her cheek.

Yeah, this was a family of love. We all loved one another so much and would do anything to protect this family.
