Prompt: can I request something? =) future!niff and Jeff/Nick has to put Sammy in timeout, but when Sammy starts crying, whoever put him in timeout lets him out because he can't stand to see his baby cry =D
"Sammy! Sammy no don't do-" Nick was cut off by a loud crash. Three months ago Sammy had graduated from walking to running and he sure liked to show that off his new skills. Sammy ran everywhere he possibly could, and this time, he ran into their cabinet, grabbed two plates, and threw them on the floor. Sammy was a year in a half old but his terrible two's started when Sammy was sixth months old.
"No." Sammy said as he threw the plate down. 'No' was the only word Sammy knew how to say and he said it often.
Before Sammy could run away Jeff scooped him up, checking Sammy's feet to make sure he hadn't stepped in any broken glass. "Sammy, no sweetie, you can't do that. That's bad and you could have gotten hurt." Jeff said in a soft, yet stern, tone. "No Sammy. No."
"No!" Sammy repeated, excitedly. He then tried to squirm out of Jeff's grip.
Nick made his way over to Jeff and sighed a little. "He needs a timeout."
Jeff frowned a little. "Yeah, I know…" He said, carrying Sammy to his crib. "I'll come get you when I think you've learned your lesson but until then you're in timeout. You need to learn that what you did was wrong."
"No."
"No Sammy. You're in trouble. You were bad. Sammy was bad."
"No." Sammy said, starting to whine a little.
"I'll be back when you've learned your lesson." Jeff said. The moment he was out of the room he heard Sammy starting to cry. Jeff stood outside the door and bit his lip, feeling guilty.
Jeff walked back into the living room and saw the mess cleaned up already. Nick walked back into the living room and frowned a little when he saw how upset Jeff looked. Nick wrapped his arms around Jeff. "It'll be alright Jeff."
"He hates me!" Jeff said, starting to tear up. "My baby hates me and he's crying!"
"He needs to be punished. It needs to be done." Nick said, trying to sooth his sobbing husband. "Don't cry Jeff."
"I'm gonna go apologize to Sammy." Jeff said, quickly.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Jeff." Nick said, but it was too late, Jeff was already in Sammy's room.
By the time Nick got in Sammy's room he was already in Jeff's arms. "I'm sorry Sammy. Please forgive me."
"No." Sammy said, happily.
"Jeff…" Nick said, sighing.
"I couldn't stand to have Sammy upset like that. He was crying Nicky." Jeff said, pouting.
Nick sighed deeply. "You're spoiling him Jeff."
"I don't care. He deserves it." Jeff said, hugging his son tightly.
