Prompt "I lost out baby" "She's hiding behind the sofa"

Here is a second chapter, kind of. I just loved writing the first part so I had to do some more! I hope you enjoy!

Happy Reading!

"Aurora, sweetheart! Come out, come out wherever you are!" Finn calls out searching around the house.

Oh God, this is not good. His wife is going to kill him if he can't find Aurora before she gets home. Seriously, she's two, how can she be this good at hide and seek? Aren't two year olds supposed to have the attention span of a goldfish and get board with hiding after like a minute of something?

"Rora! Come on Honey. You need to come on out for Daddy. Okay? Daddy gives up, you've been hiding long enough. Mommy will be home any minute now. Rora!"

Finn is about ready to freak out by this point. He has searched the house from top to bottom and still can't find his little girl anywhere! What the hell is he going to tell his wife if he can't find their child?!

He gets down on his hands and knees ready to crawl around. Maybe if he gets lower he'll find her.

"Come on Rora. This isn't funny. Daddy really misses you Princess."

Just then the sound of keys jingling from the front door catches Finn's attention causing him to freeze where he is,

"Oh fuck…"

"Okay! Declan is at his friends house, settled and didn't even blink an eye when I left. So tonight it is just you, me, and the princess!" I shout as I enter the house, dropping my keys on the table next to the door.

I don't hear a response and wait a minute to see if I can hear where they might be.

"Finn? Rora?" I call, but still receive no answer.

I walk into the living room were I find Finn down on the floor, looking in one of the empty shelves on the entertainment center.

"Finn, what are you doing?" I ask with a raised brow.

Finn looks up at me from his position on the floor, with a guilt look and tries to smile. Oh this is not going to be good.

He stands up, wiping his pants off, and gives a forced laugh, "So um, don't panic…"

My eyes go wide and I instantly start to panic, "Oh God! Finn what happened?!"

He scratches the back of his head, "Rora and I were playing hide'n'seek and it was my turn to seek while she hid and… I may have lost our baby girl."

I close my eyes as my shoulders deflate as I give a sigh of relief, "Oh thank God!"

"What do you mean "Thank God"?! Did you now hear me! I said I lost our baby!" Finn exclaims in near hysterics.

I try not to, but it's difficult. He is just so cute.

"Why are you laughing?! Do you not care that our baby girl is missing."

I place my hands on his shoulders, placing a kiss on his lips, "I heard you say that you were playing hide'n'seek. Now, how long ago did Rora go hiding?"

Finn glances at the clock, thinking, "Uh, maybe an hour?"

I nod and move over to the sofa that is pushed up against the wall,

"Come here," I wave him over, and carefully pulling the sofa out, I point, "She's hiding behind the sofa."

And there, curled up with her thumb in her mouth is our precious two year old daughter, sound asleep.

Finn's mouth drops, "How… What… but she…. How?"

I chuckle, "she likes to hide behind the sofa. I have found her back here I don't know how many times. And in out closet. I don't know how she gets back here but she does. I'm sorry for not telling you. It's a recent things she just started doing. If it makes you feel any better, the first time it happened, I thought I lost her too." I say, wrapping my arm around his waist to comfort him, laying my head on his shoulder.

He lets out a long breath, resting his head on mine, "I was terrified that she actually got out of the house or…. God I don't know. I definitely lost a few years off my life. Between her and Declan, I'm not going to make it to see 50."

I straighten up and press a kiss to his lips, "It's okay. They keep ya on your toes. Now, why don't you pick her up and put her in her bed for a nap and then we can cuddle. I think you need a good cuddle."

Finn perks up, "Sexy cuddle?" he asks, flashing me puppy eyes,

"Fine, sexy cuddles, I'll meet you in the bedroom."

I smile at how Finn tries to quickly but carefully without disturbing the sleeping princess carry her to her bedroom. Will I ever come home to Finn taking care of the kinds and it be normal? Probably not.
