The infants screams came through the baby monitor and woke Kaitlyn up suddenly. She sat up rubbing her eyes and squinted as she checked the clock. "3:00 am? Come on, Caleb" she groaned getting out of bed. She made her way to the nursery and carefully picked up the screaming baby. "You just ate an hour ago" she told him as if he understood. She kissed the top of his head, lightly bouncing him in her arms while she headed downstairs and warmed up his bottle.
The infant's screams continued until she slid the bottle in his mouth. She carefully made her way back up the steps to the nursery and sat in the rocking chair. She rocked slowly as he ate, attentively watching his every move. It was only 6 months ago that she had this bundle of joy and she couldn't be happier. "You look just like your daddy" she told him with a smile. "So handsome with your big blue eyes" she continued to coo. Kaitlyn fed and burped Caleb until he had fallen asleep. She quietly got up and slowly placed him back into his crib shutting of the lamp as she walked out.
She had almost made it out of the pitch black nursery when she crashed into her son's toy chest causing a pile of blocks to come tumbling down on the floor. Instantly, Caleb was up and screaming for his mother. "Mommy is so stupid" Kaitlyn whined picking her child up again. She carried him into her bedroom, sitting on her huge empty bed. She placed the pacifier in his mouth and turned on her TV to add background noise. She rested her back on the headboard and raised her knees towards her chest. She carefully placed Caleb on her thighs and watched his big blue eyes follow her every move. She slowly removed the pacifier from his mouth and placed soft kisses on either side of his chubby cheeks. She caught a glimpse of his smile and quickly grabbed her cellphone. "I think we need to smile for daddy!" She told Caleb. "Can you smile again so I could take a picture for daddy?" She asked lightly tickling his sides. Nothing. "Please, please, smile so we can send one to daddy" Kaitlyn begged her son, but to no avail.
"Daddy had a pretty good view of the first one" Dean answered surprising her as he stood standing by the doorframe.
He looked exhausted, Kaitlyn thought. But, finally he was home. It had been weeks since she had seen him, the European tour they were on had taken a toll but he still sported his gorgeous smile for them.
"Hey, baby" he huskily greeted, walking over to her and kissing her gently. " Get some sleep, I'll put the baby to bed." He said as he took Caleb from her lap, kissing him a few times. "I missed you, my boy" Dean told the infant sweetly as he walked out of the room and into the nursery.
Kaitlyn slowly and quietly followed behind them.
"I see you're giving your beautiful mom a hard time, huh?" He chuckled, placing him down in the crib, rubbing Caleb's back. "Breaking hearts already? Wait until you get older , I'm going to show you how to be the ultimate heart breaker, lady taker- "
"Cut it out, Dean" Kaitlyn sternly warned from the door, shaking her head.
Dean looked up at his beautiful fiancé and laughed, watching her head back into their bedroom. "It's really not so bad" he whispered to Caleb who was already in a deep slumber. "I love you and goodnight, my son" he said to him, walking out of the nursery and shutting off the light.
He walked into the bedroom to find Kaitlyn wrapped up underneath the comforter. He slowly made his way underneath and pulled her towards him. "I've missed you so much" he admitted, watching her turn to face him.
"I missed you too, my love. I'm sorry I'm so tired, I couldn't even give you the greeting you deserved." Kaitlyn apologized. "He's just been up a lot these past few days and I'm so exhausted"
Dean placed his hand on the side of Kaitlyn's face, kissing her hard and deep. He pulled away and smiled, "I love you"
"I love you too, baby" she replied tiredly.
"And that's the only greeting I'll ever need from you, alright?" He asked.
Kaitlyn nodded, getting as close to him as possible. She was finally home with the true love of her life and their perfect little family.
Hope it ended how most would've liked it.
Daddy Dean is probably the cutest thing I've ever imagined lol
