I'm A Little Tired, But I Love It (Richie Tozier)

(Part 11 of Is The Baby Mine?)

Y/N was released to go home two days after she gave birth to Finn, and she and Richie were adjusting to life with a newborn.

Caring for Finn wasn't an easy task for either of them. Finn was mostly a happy baby, but when he needed to be changed or fed, he didn't waste anything crying for his mommy or daddy.

Richie and Y/N had been sleeping comfortably for about thirty minutes when cries began to fill the room. Richie sat up quickly and rubbed his eyes. He stood up carefully, attempting to not wake Y/N up, and made his way to Finn's nursery.

He opened the door and walked into the room, heading over to the crib. He carefully picked up his son and walked over to the changing table. He changed Finn's diaper without any trouble, and he lifted him back into his arms and gently swayed him in his arms, trying to coax him back to sleep.

Finn looked up at Richie with wide eyes showing no sign of him falling back to sleep easily. Richie sighed as he realized that he would have to walk Y/N up. He looked down at his son and gently smiled at him.

"You love it when daddy has to wake up mommy, don't you? Your lucky you're cute."

Richie shut Finn's nursery door and walked back towards his and Y/N's room. He opened the door and saw Y/N sleepily sitting up in the bed. She looked at him, and he offered her a small smile.

"I didn't want to wake you. I tried to sway him back to sleep, but I think this is a task for mommy."
"It's okay, babe. He's probably just hungry. Hand him to me."

Richie walked over to Y/N's side of the bed, and he carefully handed Finn to her. She took Finn into her arms, and Richie noticed that she was already set up to feed their son.

Finn latched on to her breast, and Y/N relaxed into the pillows behind her. Richie always stared in amazement at Y/N when she fed Finn. He laughed quietly as a thought crossed his mind.

"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about how I can't deny that he's my kid. He loves your boobs just as much as I do."

Y/N playfully rolled her eyes at him as a smile came to her face. She noticed that Finn was looking more like Richie everyday, and she loved it. His 'Trashmouth Jr.' onesie was definitely fitting.

Richie reached his hand out and gently rubbed two fingers against Finn's cheek. He sighed and continued to watch his son eat.

"You okay, Rich?"
"I'm perfect. I'm a little tired, but I love it. I wouldn't trade these middle of the night, sleepy moments with you and him. I'm still processing the fact that I have a son who will one day look to me for advise, and I have no idea what advise to give him. I love you two, and you're all I need."
"We love you too, daddy."

Y/N leaned toward him, and Richie met her halfway in a sweet kiss. They pulled away and turned their attention back to their son, who was still eating. They smiled at him as they reveled in the fact they have a son. They actually have a tiny human being that needs them for care for and love him.

Richie wasn't a big fan of getting up I the middle of the night, but he wasn't willing to trade these moments. He loved every single one of them. Sure, he was tired, but Y/N and Finn were worth losing sleep for because he loved them.
