"Do I have to come?" Tom whined as he got into the car. 

"Thomas I swear to god if you ask me that one more time-"

"Okay, okay!" he huffed hands on the wheel as he started the car. 

You looked at him from the passenger seat, hand resting over his. "You can't leave me alone in there. I hate this as much as you do."

"I know, love."

The drive to the doctor's office was shorter than either of you liked, and so was the wait. Before either of you knew it, you were making your way behind the door and into a patient's room, Scarlet on your hip and Tom by your side. 

"Ahh, so we have to give this little one some shots today, hmm?" the doctor hummed, laughing a little. "No worries, mom, dad," she nodded to the two of you. "This'll be quick. Usually we get extra help to keep the baby calm, and you two are welcome to stay or step out of the room, whatever works best for you." 

You and Tom nodded before linking hands and staying by your chairs, letting a nurse and the doctor gently hold your baby Scarlet still, the needle going for her arm. All the while Tom was wincing before the needle made contact, but when it did, Red started crying out of control, and Tom turned around and his his face in your neck. You rubbed his shoulders and neck, lightly playing with his curls too. 

"It's alright," you whispered, wincing as she got another shot. Your neck was wet from his tears, and you could feel him pouting. "C'mon," you lead him out of the room, the two of you leaning against the wall right beside the door. 

Lifting his head out from the crook of your neck, you used the pads of your thumb to wipe away the stray tears, holding his face with your hands "Our baby's gonna be okay, don't cry." 

"I know,' Tom whined, moving in to hug you again, holding you tighter. "Just don't like hearin' her cry. Breaks my heart."

You frowned, arms wrapping around his neck as you pulled him impossibly closer. "I know, baby. But we can go for ice cream after and play with Tessa. You know she loves Tess, yeah? How does that sound?"

Tom nodded from his place in your embrace, and you kissed his temple with a smile.
