Sweet Sunday Morning (containing Male pregnancy)
They didn't have many mornings like this; Danny listened as a softly rainshower slightly hit their bedroom window, sighing softly as sleep started to draw him again. No they hardly ever slept in, but it was sunday and they had just gotten back home from the hospital.
He doesn't know when he got up or how long he had been sleeping again, all he knew was that two of his favourite people were sleeping, softly snoring beside him. Danny watched as Steve's chest steadily rose and fell with each breath, causing their newborn daughter, Katie McGarrett-Williams, to rise and fall with him as she was curled into his chest. Her skin was still pink and she still had that newborn smell. Some unruly soft blond strands of hair peeked out of the small cap she had on her head, moving slightly which each of Steve's breath. Her little hands were curled and clutching Steve's shirt as his hand engulfed her back, keeping her safely tucked into his chest.
Danny smiled lazily as he took in the scene, they definitely didn't get many days like this in the future. He let his finger lightly run across his daughter's knuckles, a ball of emotions forming in his throat as her little fist unfurled and wrapped around his fingertip. He still couldn't believe it; that they both got the chance to raise a child together.
Watching Steve hold Katie for the first time would forever be one of Danny's favourite moments in life. The awe and wonderment on Steve's face, the knowledge that 'their little princess' (as he teasingly calls her) would be a part of their future, it had been one of the best things ever. The smile on Steve's face outdid all other smiles Danny had ever seen and he only hoped that he would see more of those smiles as the years went on.
Moving closer to them, Danny curved into Steve's side. He felt his hand slide up his back and settle on his waist before he drew even closer. Steve buried his nose into Danny's hair before kissing him softly on his lips. He mumbled sleepily, "Sleep."
Danny settled his head on Steve's shoulder, letting his eyes finally slide shut. He felt Steve's warmth surround him as he whispered, "I love you."
As he finally gave way to sleep, he felt Steve squeeze his hip and tell him, "I love you too."
