Fate Lead Me To You (Richie Tozier)

(Part 13 of Is The Baby Mine?)

Y/N and Richie loved being parents. Finn was four months old, and he was beginning to become more playful. Richie loved tickling him and making him laugh.

Y/N loved the bond that was forming between Richie and Finn. Finn would cry, and sometimes, Richie was only thing that would calm him down. Y/N wasn't bother by it one bit. Finn loved his daddy, and that made Y/N's heart melt.

They had just finished dinner, and Y/N and Richie were in the living room playing with Finn. Richie would tickle his sides and blow on his stomach, and Finn would laugh. Y/N placed kisses on his face and over exaggerated the kissing sound making him laugh also.

Y/N looked at the time and saw that it was close to Finn's bedtime. She stood up and stretched her limbs causing Richie to look up at her.

"Where you going, beautiful?"
"It's almost his bedtime, and he needs a bath."
"Alright, little man. You heard mama. It's time for a bath."

Richie picked Finn up and handed him to Y/N. He stood up, and they walked to the bathroom. Y/N began to undress Finn as Richie turned on the water and set it at a nice warm temperature. Y/N blew on his stomach causing him to laugh, and Richie smiled at the sound.

Richie places the baby bathtub inside the tub, and he grabbed the baby soap, placing it on the side of the tub. He walked over to Y/N and Finn, and he tickled his sides before pulling him into his arms. He placed Finn in the tub, and he began slapping the water. They smiled as they watched their son slash water everywhere.

Richie sat beside Y/N as she began to bathe Finn. He was getting wet from Finn kicking the water, but he didn't care. He loved watching his son interact with the world around him. Richie could sit and watch Finn do nothing all day.

As Y/N began to finish up Finn's bath, Richie grabbed two towels from the closet. He wrapped one towel around Finn, and the other was for the water that Finn splashed out of the tub.

Y/N carried Finn to his nursery and began drying him off. Richie entered the nursery and walked over to the dresser, pulling out pajamas for Finn. He walked over to Y/N and handed her the pajamas then wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his chin on her shoulder and watched as she dressed their son.

She picked Finn up off the changing table and walked over to the rocking chair in the corner of the room. She laid Finn in her arms and began rocking him to sleep. He was showing no signs of sleep, and Y/N looked up at Richie and saw that he was already looking at her.

"Come here and rock him while I go fix a bottle. He doesn't look sleepy one bit."

Y/N stood up and handed Finn to Richie. He sat down in the rocking chair and began rocking Finn. Y/N smiled at her boys and quickly snapped a picture of them before heading towards the kitchen to fix a bottle.

When she returned, Richie was still rocking Finn, who was still not asleep. She smiled at Richie and handed him the bottle. He began feeding Finn, and halfway through the bottle, Finn began to doze off.

Once he was fully asleep, Richie careful stood up and walked over to the crib, placing Finn in his crib. Y/N stood beside him, and she wrapped an arm around his waist. Richie leaned over at placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"I could watch him for hours. He's amazing."
"Yeah, he's pretty great. Come on, lays go to bed before he wakes up."

Y/N grabbed Richie's hand and lead him out of the nursery. They walked into their bedroom and changed into sleep clothes before crashing onto the bed. Y/N snuggled into Richie's side, and he leaned down and kissed her head.

"I can't wait to marry you. You'll be Mrs. Y/N Toizer, and I'll be able to call you my wife."
"I can't wait to be Mrs. Y/N Tozier. Speaking of us getting married, we should probably set a date for our wedding."
"Yeah, you're right."

They were quite for a few minutes before an idea came to Richie.

"What if we got married on the day we ran into each other again?"
"Why that day?"
"Well, fate lead me to you. I didn't need to go to the grocery store, but I wanted cereal. I literally had other breakfast items to cool, but I really wanted cereal. When I looked up from the cereal boxes and saw you, something in me said 'This is your second chance. Don't blow it'
"I love it. Do you remember exactly what day it was?"
"It was June 26th. I remember because I can't forget a day that changed my life forever."
"June 26th it is."

Y/N leaned up and pulled Richie into a loving kiss. He kissed her back and wrapped his arms around her. They pulled away, and Y/N snuggled her face into Richie's chest. He ran his hands up and down her back as a smile cane to his face.

"I love you so much, Y/N."
"I love you too, Richie."

Richie made himself comfortable with Y/N in his arms, and he slowly began to drift to sleep, dreaming about his and Y/N's future together. He didn't know much, but he knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her by his side.
