Sanders Sides Parenting/Kids One-Shots

(135) Nap-Time - LoganxEmile

Summary: Logan and Emile have a newborn together and they're still getting used to parenting. Especially Logan, who's trying to balance being a good father and a good employee.

Continuing my 'if there's no fanart I give memes' - although if there if fanart just tell me the link and I'll add it above!

TW - Can be seen as either getting smutty or just Logan being touch starved and sleep deprived. But sleep overtakes them in the end.

"Finally." Logan whispered under his breath, hoping he wasn't being too loud as he'd just set his daughter down for a nap. She'd just had dinner at the same time as her fathers and now it had reached 8pm. Now Logan had enough time to do work - two hours exactly before he would need to head to bed in order to get his optimal eight hours of sleep with an extra two hours spare for night feeds.

So when Emile walked into the dark master bedroom in his fluffy pyjamas with two hot chocolates he wasn't exactly pleased to see Logan slumped over his desk analysing spreadsheets. "Logan..." Emile sighed, kissing Logan's cheek and placing a creamy hot chocolate beside him. Logan just grumbled and clicked some more.

"Zoe's asleep sweetheart." The businessman mumbled, eventually sipping the liquid gift his husband gave him. "I'll handle the night feeds tonight as you have that important appointment."

"Didn't you do it last night sugar?" Emile leant over his slouching husband, arms over his shoulders as he kissed the soft skin of his lover's neck and cheek. Logan tried to ignore the affection but his focus was definitely less on his work and more on the soft touches. "I can do it tonight for you."

"No, no." Logan nudged Emile's head away and turned back to his spreadsheet, sighing as he typed an incorrect number. "I'm a good Dad. I'll do it."

This again, of course. Emile loved Logan unconditionally but he was very stubborn with many things - and being perfect at everything was one of them. It was good that Logan wanted to be such an active father but Emile could tell it was impacting his mental health and sanity.

"You're a good Dad whether you do the night feeds or not. Zoe wouldn't mind having me giving her night-time cuddles for a change!" Logan didn't respond to that and just continued to work - which was when Emile realised another toxic trait overcoming his husband. "How about we head to bed now baby?"

"I need to finish this document." Logan mumbled in response as he typically did. This was going to be a long battle, but Emile was always here for it. "I need to be an efficient employee."

Emile's arms wrapped around Logan's shoulders again and began kissing and brushing his hands through the curly brown hair of his husband. "I can assure that you're perfectly efficient Logan." There was no rebuttal from Logan after that, he just paused his work and gulped. "Plus - doesn't Thomas know you have a newborn? I can assure you he'll be slack if you're a little slow with him."

At this point Logan couldn't help but lean into his soulmate's touch, falling in love all over again with all the gentleness he gave. But he couldn't let that show so he quickly grabbed the hot chocolate and focused on drinking that instead.

But Emile didn't have the ability to step or lean any further away. Logan was just too perfect. "How about we have a little nap my love?" The mug left Logan's lips softly with another few neck kisses, as Emile loosened his husband's tie a little to help him relax.

"Nap?" Logan's lips were surrounded by cream but that made him even more irresistible right now.

"Mhm! We can sleep the same time the baby does, even though it's late... But we can start that habit now." Emile clutched Logan's hand and tried to drag him up, the nerd was giving a challenging look. But with one pout Logan had become a blushing mess and he had to look away. It was beautiful when the therapist had the power to do that.

But instead of leaving his desk chair Logan just dragged his husband down, letting him sit on his lap, and stroking the young man's blond hair. Emile melted into the movement and couldn't help but kiss the cream off his husband's lips. It was cream as sweet as his love for Logan. "I don't think I can nap here sweetheart."

"This is distracting me from my worries. Take it." Kiss, kiss, kiss. It was only soft pecks but it was addicting for Emile to have all over his face. Emile's chuckle got Logan to pause again. "I can't wait to see if Zoe keeps your blue eyes." Kissing again seemed like a side-thought for the pair as they continued their conversation.

"I hope she'll have your ambition." Emile whispered, this time leaning into the kisses to hopefully make the kisses go further. But the sentence had the opposite effect as Logan leant away. "She will though! You're making a great impact on her already, and she's only known you for a month!" Logan was just watching Emile at this point, a hand on his cheek. Just a peaceful look on his face.

"You really think she'll get good qualities from me?"

"Of course!" Damn Logan and his negative thoughts. They overtook a lot of his worries and made the smart man push himself to breaking point. But Emile was there to soothe this thoughts right down. "She'll get so many good qualities from you! Your ambition, your calmness, your beauty, your intelligence..." Logan chuckled and finally met Emile's lips again.

A yelp escaped Emile as he was picked up and carried bridal style all the way to the couple's shared bed. Logan tucked his husband into bed carefully and kissed his forehead before turning back to his computer, only to turn it off, and then he started to get changed into more comfortable pyjamas. "Have you agreed to nap-time honey-bun?" The therapist giggled, keeping his eyes on Logan's small but mischievous smirk.

"Why wouldn't I?" Logan snuggled into the nice warm bed and wrapped his arms around Emile, closing his eyes and sighing under his breath at the peace. He was so grateful to have Emile right beside him if he ever thought he wasn't good enough at anything.
