🍼 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒯𝓌𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓎-𝒪𝓃𝑒: 𝒞𝑜𝓏𝓎 𝒩𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝒶𝒻𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒶 𝐿𝑜𝓃𝑔 𝒟𝒶𝓎 🌙💤

After the bestest day at the carnival, Lucas was exhausted. He barely stayed awake on the drive home, his lion plushie tucked under his chin, his thumb slipping into his mouth as he fought sleep.

Amari glanced over and smirked. "Sleepy, tiny?"

Lucas mumbled something, eyes fluttering. "Mmm-mm... no sweepy..." But his voice was already slowing down, his little body getting heavier against the seat.

Amari chuckled. "Sure, baby."

By the time they got home, Lucas was out. Amari parked, got out, and walked around to open the door. He unbuckled his tiny boy, gently lifting him up. Lucas stirred, making a small whiny noise.

"Shhh, Daddy got you, baby."

Lucas nuzzled into Amari's chest, tiny fingers gripping onto his hoodie. "Mmm... Daddy..."

Amari carried him inside, rocking him slightly. He walked straight to Lucas' room, dimly lit by his nightlight, and sat on the bed with him still in his arms.

"Baby, let's get you ready for bed," Amari murmured.

Lucas shook his head sleepily. "Nooo... wan' stay wif Daddy..."

Amari smiled softly. "Alright, tiny, let's get you changed, and then you can cuddle with Daddy."

Lucas whined but nodded.

Getting Ready for Bed 🛁👕🍼

Amari grabbed a pair of Lucas' comfy pajamas and helped him change. Lucas, still sleepy, kept clinging to Amari, making the process slower but so adorable.

After getting dressed, Amari scooped Lucas up again, carrying him to the kitchen. "Bottle or sippy, baby?"

Lucas yawned. "Baba..."

Amari warmed up some milk, testing the temperature before handing it to Lucas. The little boy took it with both hands, immediately sucking on the nipple, his eyes fluttering closed.

Amari ran his fingers through Lucas' curls. "That's my good boy."

Lucas hummed sleepily. "Mmm... Daddy's baby..."

Amari smiled. "Forever."

Once Lucas finished, Amari cleaned him up and carried him back to bed. But as soon as he tried to tuck him in, Lucas' lower lip wobbled.

"Daddy... stay...?"

Amari didn't even hesitate. "Of course, tiny."

He slid into bed beside Lucas, pulling him into his arms. Lucas immediately snuggled close, curling up against Amari's chest with his lion plushie tucked between them.

"Love you, Daddy..." Lucas whispered.

Amari kissed the top of his head. "Love you too, little one."

As Lucas' breathing slowed, completely relaxed in Daddy's arms, Amari smiled to himself.

Nothing made him happier than taking care of his baby. 💖🍼🌙

Lucas is the sleepiest little baby after his big day!! 😴💖💤
