I Can't Do This, Not Without You: One Shots

There's a First for Everything

Calum.

I sat in my room, playing with Stefan. I had finished all the necessary classes for the day and had found some extra time to myself. So after Stefan woke up from his nap, I took him out of his crib and we played together.

Luke still had classes so he wouldn't be back until later, which I was okay with. Wednesdays were usually his busy days so I wasn't expecting him to be home anytime soon.

My dad had been busier than ever with his restaurant. I barely saw him at home and almost never spoke to him. He was always in and out and only ever came home to catch up with me, Luke, and Stefan.

"You are just about the cutest baby ever," I cooed, kissing Stefan's forehead.

Stefan laughed, his eyes crinkling as a soft, innocent, laugh made its way out of his mouth.

"Come on Stefan. Daddy has cookies in the kitchen. Do you want a cookie? Do you?" I playfully asked.

Stefan nodded, almost eager to get to the kitchen.

I stood up and gently helped Stefan up to his feet as well. I held his tiny wrists as I gently and neatly held him up. I helped him stand. I smirked then slowly let go of Stefan, who stood. He had stood on his own before so I wasn't surprised.

Luke and I were waiting for him to walk, which would surprise and excite the both of us.

To my demise, Stefan started to cry, because he hated standing by himself, even though I was a mere few inches away.

"You big baby. What am I gonna do with you when you're older?" I laughed, grabbing his wrists again and helping him gain his balance.

He then looked up at me, his eyes till filled with tears.

Walking backwards, I took baby steps, guiding Stefan out of his room, making our way towards the kitchen.

I looked back, to see the stairs behind me.

"Good job Stefan! You did it!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands together.

Stefan smiled, and clapped his hands after, copying me. I then saw that his eyes were clear, and no tears were seen.

"You get something nice now. Yes you do," I cooed, kissing his forehead.

Stefan smiled as I did the same, taking him in my arms and down the stairs.

Once we reached the bottom of the stairs, I heard the doorknob jiggle. I then looked up at the door to hear someone unlocking it. I smiled then walked towards the door with Stefan as it opened.

Once the door opened, I saw Luke standing in the doorway, wearing a heavy backpack on his back, heavy bags under his eyes. He sighed then closed the door behind him, locking it.

"There's daddy!" I exclaimed, walking towards Luke.

Luke then looked up at me, smiling as he saw me and Stefan walking towards me.

I then stopped halfway, putting Stefan on the ground.

"Let's try this again Luke," I suggested. Luke nodded, putting his backpack on the ground.

"Go to daddy Stefan," I told him, pointing towards Luke.

"Come here Stefan. Come to daddy," Luke coaxed, waving his arms.

I gently let go of Stefan, letting him walk towards Luke.

Stefan had looked like he was gonna fall, but he quickly caught himself. He looked back at me, and trembled as I encouraged him to keep walking.

Smiling, Stefan took wobbly steps and ran to Luke when he realized he was almost here. Luke beamed, safely wrapped his Stefan in his arms and held him in the air.

"You did it Stefan! Calum did you see that? He walked! He took his first steps!" Luke exclaimed.

"Good job Stefan!" I exclaimed, walking over to Luke and kissing Stefan's cheek.

"Dada!" Stefan exclaimed, wrapping his tiny arms around Luke's neck.

Luke and I looked at each other, feeling like we dreamed about today.

"Did you hear that?" Luke asked, his grin beaming.

"Yes I did! Stefan, say daddy," I told him.

"Dada!" Stefan said again.

"He said daddy! Daddy's his first word! This is amazing!" I exclaimed.

"This deserve ice cream!" Luke exclaimed.

"I agree. Let's go," I said, smiling.

Luke and I then walked out and got into my car, and drove off towards a ice cream shop.
