Hey everyone, so here it is, the sequel to my story A Baby Worth Waiting For. This story starts off when Liam when is two and will go until he finishes elementary school. Thank you so much for your interest in my previous Liam story and I hope you all enjoy!

Liam is now two years old and doing very well. He's smart and talkative, and most certainly still a serious but adorable mommy's boy. Rachel has evening rehearsals so Finn watches him at night while he is under Rachel's care during the day. Liam loves to play with his toys while he's with Finn but he likes to color and watch his favorite cartoons with Rachel. Even though he is two years old and supposed to be in his 'terrible two's' he hardly ever throws any tantrums. He is usually a very happy and smiley kid and he's always laughing.

"Daddy!" Liam squeals as soon as Finn walks through the door.

"Hey Buddy! Were you a good boy for Mommy?" Finn asks giving Liam a hug.

"Yes Daddy!"
"Good. Now come play with me so Mommy can get ready for work."

"Mommy do you have to go?" Liam asks sticking out his bottom lip to pout

"Yes Baby, I have to go, be good for Daddy and I'll call you when I'm on break, I love you." Rachel says kissing Liam's forehead

"I want Mommy!" Liam shouts a few minutes after Rachel leaves.

"I know, but Buddy, she won't be home until you're in bed." Finn says having a feeling that Liam will start throwing a tantrum

"But I want Mommy now!"
"Liam, is this the way good boys behave?"
Liam frowns. "No Daddy. I sowwy."
"It's okay Buddy. Can you be a good boy now?"

"Yes Daddy. We play?"

"Yeah, we can play. What do you want to play with?"
"Cars!"

"Okay, you play with your cars for a few minutes while I get your dinner ready."

"But I want you to watch me."
"Then you can play at the table, deal?"
"Deal."

Finn always tries to engage Liam in conversation at dinner. It helps with his social skills.

"So what did you and Mommy do today?" Finn asks

"I drew you picture. Want to see?"
"Of course, but finish your dinner first. Okay Little Man?"
"Otay"

"All done. Show you picture now?" Liam asks

"Yeah, you ate all your dinner. Go ahead and show me your picture." Finn says smiling at Liam.

Liam holds up his picture with pride. "See? Liam, Daddy."
"That's really good Buddy, can I hang it on my desk at work?"
"Mhmm, I made Mommy one too."

"Good, after Mommy calls you have to go get ready for bed, okay?"
"But Daddy…"
"Liam, you're going to be really tired if you don't go to bed early. You know that."
"Read me story, and sing me song first, right?"
Finn smiles. "That's right."

Rachel calls a few minutes later.

"Hey Honey, how's Liam?" Rachel asks Finn

"He's good, he's watching cartoons and I'm putting him to bed after he talks to you." Finn replies

"Oh good, you are following the schedule I've been giving you."
"Of course I am, I don't want you to have a cranky two year old to have to wake up in the morning. He misses you."
"Aww, I miss him too. Can you put him on the phone?"
"Of course. Liam come talk to Mommy."
"Hi Mommy." Liam says cutely.

"Hi Baby, Mommy misses you. Have you been a good boy for Daddy?" Rachel asks.

"Uh huh. I show him my picture."
"You did a good job on that picture."
"I see you in the morning, right Mommy?"
"Right Sweetie, goodnight and sleep with the angels, okay? I love you."

"Love you Mommy. Bye bye."

"I guess I'd better start getting him ready for bed, I'll see you when you get home. I love you." Finn says.

"I love you too. I'll see you in a while."

"Alright Munchkin, time to get you in bed." Finn says tickling Liam's sides.

"Daddy, that tickles." Liam squeals.

"Okay, I'll stop. Let's get you all snuggled up in bed."
"Story Daddy."

"Okay, which story do you want."
"Dr. Seuss."

Finn pulls The Cat in the Hat off of the bookshelf and smiles.

"Is this one okay?"
"Yes Daddy, it my favorite."
"I thought so."

After reading Liam the story, Finn tucks Liam in and sticks Lionel, his stuffed lion beside him.

"Goodnight Buddy, I love you. Sleep well, okay?"
"Love you too Daddy, night night.

Finn's sitting on the couch when he hears Liam call for him, probably another bad dream, Liam has a lot of them.

"Liam, what's the matter?" Finn asks.

"Bad dream Daddy." Liam says crying.

"Shhh, it's okay, it was just a bad dream, that's all it was. Can you tell me what happened in your dream?"

"You and Mommy left me alone. I was scared, Daddy." Liam sobs

"Shh, Hey Buddy, can you look at me, your Mommy and I, we love you so much, we'll never leave you. It was just a nightmare, I promise." Finn says wiping Liam's tears away and rubbing his head.

"Never? You pinky pwomise?"

"Yes, I pinky promise. Now close your eyes and try to go to sleep, I'll be right here."
"I can't Daddy. I still scared."

"Yes you can, here, would you like me to hold you?" Finn says, he knows it's a little babyish, but his poor son is all shook up.

"Yes please Daddy."

"Okay, here you go Buddy, it'll be just fine, you're okay, the dream is gone, close your eyes, and go to sleep. Daddy's got you, I'm right here."

"I sweepy Daddy." Liam yawns.

"Good, that means it's working, sleep tight Buddy.

A little while later Liam's back asleep and Rachel gets home.

"Hey babe, How was rehearsal?" Finn asks her.

"Good, you look tired, did everything go okay with Liam?" Rachel questions

"Yeah, he just had a little bit of nightmare, so I held him for a little while."
"Aww, poor thing, he must have been pretty shook up."
"He was, it broke my heart seeing him so scared."
"You're good with him."

"I hate it when he cries though."
"So do I, you look so tired, let's go to sleep, he'll be okay, I promise."

Rachel gets Liam up the next morning and he's all smiles.

"Morning Mama." Liam says.
"Morning Sweetie, I missed you." Rachel says giving Liam a kiss.

"Mommy, you go work today?"
"No, I have today off."
"What we doing today?"
"I don't know, what do you want to do?"
"Watch Blues Clue's."
"You can watch one while you eat breakfast and then we'll get you dressed, okay?"
"Yes Mommy."

Liam hates getting dressed, and today isn't the easiest day of getting him dressed.

"Mommy, I no get dressed." Liam says throwing his clothes on the floor and hitting Rachel.

Rachel frowns. "Liam, big boys do not throw things and hit their mommy, you understand? Now, you have to go sit in time out for two minutes, then you need to show Mommy how big boys get dressed, okay?"

Liam starts crying. "Mommy mad at me?"

"No Honey, you just need to learn that what you did wasn't how big boys are supposed to act. Come on Honey, you just sit here for a little and think about how big boys behave, okay? Mommy is not mad at you, I promise."
"Okay Mommy."
"Can you get dressed like a big boy now?"
"Yes Mommy."
"Good, see, you know how to be a big boy, don't you?"

"I sowwy Mommy."
"I know you are, just remember how big boys act next time."

"I will."

"Liam Baby, Daddy's on his way home. He says he has a surprise for you but that you have to be extra good until he gets here so you can get it." Rachel says.

"Okay Mommy." Liam replies

"You've been a very good boy today, you showed me that you know to be a big boy."

"Liam big boy?"
Rachel smiles. "That's right Sweetie, you're a big boy."
"Like Daddy."
"Not quite Bud, you have a bit of growing before then."
"But you said I big boy, Mommy."
"You are, but you are my two year old big boy, Sweetie." Rachel says kissing Liam's cheek.

"Oh, but Mommy, I want to be your little boy."
"You are, you'll always be my little boy, but you're growing up, you're getting to be such a big boy."

"Liam, come here, Pumpkin. Daddy's home." Rachel says

"Hey Buddy, come here, Daddy's missed you. Did you miss me?" Finn asks scooping Liam up into his arms.

"Yes Daddy, and Mommy said I was a good boy."
"You were? Does that mean you want your surprise from Daddy?"
"Yes please!"
"Ok here you go, I hope it's not too big."

Finn shows Liam his Giant's Jersey and smiles at him with pride.

"My football shirt, Daddy?"
"Yes Buddy, it's yours."
"Thank you Daddy."

"You're welcome. Can you tell me what team that is?"
"Giants."
"Yeah, you're right Buddy. That's my boy."

"Finn, I can't believe you got our son a football jersey, he's hardly two." Rachel says.

"Come on Babe, he loves football." Finn says laughing

"Yup, just like his Daddy."

"So was he really a good boy for you today?"

"Yeah, but he threw a little tantrum while getting dressed this morning."
"Did you put him in his time out?"
"Yeah, and I told him to think about how big boys behave. So he was good the rest of the day."
"You are an excellent mother, you know that?"
"It's easy to be a good mother when you have such an adorable son to take care of."
"His bad dream last night was about us leaving him. It broke my heart, we could never do that to him."
"Aww, my boor baby, no wonder he was so upset."
"I hate to hear him cry."
"I am so proud of how good you are with him."
"He's my little boy, you know I love him to pieces."
"And he loves you to pieces, he's always asking about you."

"Not as much as he asks about you when you are at work."
"I can't believe he's two, it seems like just yesterday he was just this tiny baby that I could hold in my arms."
"I know, he's growing up so fast. He's such a big boy."
"And he knows it too, he'll always come to me and say 'Mommy, I big boy."

"He's just the cutest little boy in the whole world."
"Yeah, he totally is. He looks so much like you."
"He does, except for those big, brown eyes of his. He gets those from his mommy."

"Have you seen his smirk though, it is just the cutest little thing. It looks just like yours."

"I know, it's adorable. I'm telling you, the girls are going to love him."
"Finn, he's two."
"I know. So, I dated Quinn for like a week in preschool."

"Oh my god! Get out, you did not! That is so adorable."
"Yeah, I did. But I'm sure my three year old self would have much rather went out with you."
"Aww, you are so sweet."

"Mommy, you tuck me in to bed?" Liam asks yawning.

"I sure can my sleepy little prince, are you tired?" Rachel asks him.

"I very tired Mommy."
"Ok, I'll put you in bed but can you tell Daddy goodnight first?"
"Night night Daddy."
"Goodnight Buddy, I love you so much." Finn says kissing Liam's tiny cheek.

"Okay mister time for you to go to bed." Rachel says

"Mommy, can I have big boy bed?"

"Honey, you are still too little for that."
"But I'm a big boy Mommy."
"I know you are, you can have one soon enough."

Once Liam is tucked into bed, Rachel kisses his cheek.

"I love you, Sweetie."

"I love you Mommy."
"Sleep well okay, I'll see you in the morning.

"Hey Beautiful., you look tired." Finn says when Rachel joins him on the couch.

"I am, taking care of a two year old all day is exhausting." Rachel says snuggling into Finn's side.

"But you are so good at it."
"He keeps me on my toes all day."
"But he's cute so you let him get away with it."
"Oh, that is so true."
"Aren't you glad we have him?"
"Definitely."
