A/N: This is my first one shot so I hope I did an okay job. Thank you for reading!
I wake up and head to the bathroom but I catch a small whimper coming from the other room.
I open the door and see him almost on the verge of tears.
I pick him up and the whimpering stops.
"Dada." I hear my one year son mutter as I hold him.
"Yes daddy's here little one." I say and kiss his forehead. "Now, why are you all upset?" I say in my childlike tone.
I check all the usual stuff and don't find anything.
"Did you just need some lovin' is that what you wanted?" I ask him. I kiss him and rock him back and forth.
"Mama." He says pointing a finger towards the door.
"Oh you want mommy. Well, bud mommy is still sleeping so daddy will have to do."
"Mama." He says again pointing towards the door.
"I love mommy too, but we can't wake her." I say and kiss his forehead.
He starts giggling.
"What is so funny?" I ask.
"Mama." He says still pointing at the door and laughs again.
I suddenly become aware of why he keeps pointing towards the door. I turn around to see Annie.
She comes towards me, and our son places his hand on her face.
"Mama." He says again.
"Hey little guy." She says and reaches for him but I turn away.
"Excuse me Finncik Odair." She smiles.
"You're excused." I smile.
"Let me hold him."
"Annie come on we were bonding and then you came in and he became totally distracted by you."
"It's because he loves me so much. Just like daddy."
"Is that true do you love mommy as much as me?" I say in a childlike tone teasing him.
"Dada." He says and leans his head on my chest.
"That's right love daddy more." I say evilly.
"Finnick don't tell him that." Annie says and pats my shoulder.
"Mommy's jealous that you love me so much more." I say looking at Annie.
"Excuse me Finnick Odair but, who was he laughing and giggling at when she came in the room."
"Don't pretend that you weren't making faces Annie, he laughs so easily at those." I smile.
"Maybe I was a little, but that doesn't prove anything." She says and reaches for him again.
"Mama." Our son whispers and this time I hand him over because he does want Annie.
He leans into her chest and she rocks back and forth. He falls back to sleep almost instantly.
"See all better." She says and kisses his forehead.
"Hey, I did most of the work you just got him when he was about to fall asleep."
"Whatever you need to tell yourself." She smiles and places him back in the crib and I put a blanket over him.
"Are you jealous he wants me more than you?" Annie asks.
"Pssh Annie come on no."
"And why would that be?"
"Because he is a man after his father's heart, always wanting Annie because he knows she's the best."
Annie smiles and kisses me. Knowing that I'm right, she is the best.
