His life used to be organized, once upon a time.
He used to spend all of his free time away from the hospital in his library studying every piece of medical knowledge known to mankind; recording his own theories and the results of multiple experiments he performed on himself, trying to find a way to end his unending life.
His library had been his refuge, his own private island of peace and order that nobody other than he himself would enter.
Not anymore.
Abigail came in every day after he got home from work, bringing in a cup of tea and a biscuit for him to snack on – so very British; she admitted to missing England quite a bit, despite their happy lives in New York – and would give his left temple a quick peck, sure to not disturb his concentration unless necessary before leaving to read one of her novels.
Every other day, if he grew tired of his toys, Abraham would often toddle into the office and climb onto his father's lap to stare at what he was writing curiously, occasionally trying to help him by pushing a few stacks of papers onto to floor with his tiny hands – which despite being a tad irritating, somehow became more and more amusing each time it happened; it certainly amused Abby plenty – or stealing the biscuit to gnaw on absently – he was still teething at this point, but he'd grown most of his molars by now.
Once, he came home to a flustered Abby hurriedly trying to restack an entire section of his notes, having bumped it on accident while she was dusting. He had reassured her that it wasn't a problem, but she still looked crestfallen, so he made sure to kiss her senseless after he'd cleaned up to ensure she knew he wasn't mad (though after that he started keeping noted compiled into a journal instead of scattered everywhere on precariously stacked bits of paper).
Despite the chaos Abby and Abe had brought into his perfectly ordered world, he honestly couldn't complain; it was far more fun this way.
A/N: I love family fluff. It makes me all mushy on the inside and makes me squeal like an idiot.
