Anonymous asked: The kid(s) want to stay up and wait for daddy to come home (caskett)
"Momma, please?" Her little girl asked, blue eyes just like her father's.
"Hale, what did I say?" Kate asked, trying to be stern and get her kids to bed peacefully.
"But, Momma." Carter said from the doorway of his little sister's room. "Won't he be landing soon? It won't take him long to get here, not this late at night. And then just five minutes with him. Please, Momma."
Kate sighed and looked at her eight year old before turning back to the five year old on the bed and letting out a sigh.
"Carter, go brush your teeth, I want you both ready for bed as soon as the five minutes are up." Kate relented.
"Thank you, Momma!" Haley cried as she gave her mother a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Kate pretended to be annoyed as she lifted her daughter and carried her back to the family room and settled her on the couch.
While she would have liked just a little bit of alone time with her husband when he got back, their kids hadn't seen their father in a month, so she couldn't deny them the opportunity to see him right as he got back.
Kate's phone dinged with a new message as Carter came thumping into the room. "That's him, isn't it?" He asked excitedly.
Kate smiled as she nodded to her son. "It is. He's in the car on his way back. Won't be long now."
Less than an hour later, Rick was making his way through the front door and nearly tripped over the two kids waiting for him just inside.
"Look who missed bedtime!" He exclaimed with a smile.
"Momma said, Daddy." Haley informed him as she held her arms open for a hug.
Rick lifted her into his arms and gave Carter a hug of his own before making his way to Kate and giving her a brief kiss, a teaser of what was to come.
And when, an hour later, both kids were in bed and asleep, Rick made sure to follow up on his earlier teasing.
