A/N: Okay this is just a super short fluffy drabble that I decided to write because it's Halloween and I just thought the idea was kind of cute. But warning this is just fluff and really not that much plot or purpose other than it being Halloween themed. I'm about halfway through another chapter for this story that will be a good bit longer, so keep an eye out for that! Thank you for reading!
"Hey, come on finish your dinner or we're not going to get to go trick or treating." Lydia threatened her slow poke of a four year old daughter who was staring at the untouched asparagus on her plate while she cleaned and loaded the dishes into the dishwasher.
"Mommy…" she groaned with a pout on her face.
"I guess I just have to take Noah with me then, and we'll have to eat all of the candy ourselves."
"He's just a baby though, he can't eat candy."
"Well then I guess St-, I mean Daddy and I will have to eat all of the candy ourselves." Lydia said remembering that although her husband was Stiles to her, he was "Daddy" or "Dada" to their kids. That was still an extremely odd feeling, she was someone's parent.
"Daddy…" she had the pouty look on her face again as she looked at her father who was feeding the one year old in the high chair the last of his dinner.
"Lydia, she's giving me the pouty look that I know she got from you." He complained to his wife, he really had a hard time seeing any member of his family unhappy, especially if the fix was relatively easy to make.
"Aren't you the parent?" Lydia questioned.
"Yes but you know how much she hates asparagus. And you give me that same look on a weekly basis." And unfortunately for her, he was right.
"Yes but that's different I'm your wife."
"Daddy, I want to go put my costume on!" Cassidy whined as Stiles wiped the excess food off of Noah's round cheeks.
"Fine, okay eat one piece of asparagus and then you can go put your costume on." Stiles said and with excitement she hurriedly stuffed the vegetable in her mouth and washed it down with milk before running upstairs to her room.
"Stiles!" Lydia exclaimed with her jaw dropped in shock.
"What?!"
"You know what!"
"Aw come on its Halloween! We didn't even get to take them trick or treating last year because she was sick." He took a smiley Noah out of the highchair and brought him into the kitchen, handing him to Lydia, hoping to distract her from her annoyance.
"Mama, mama!" Noah squealed which immediately made her smile. He only said about three things, Dada, Mama, and uh-oh, but she was just happy when he finally said Mama.
"How can you be mad now?" Stiles asked.
"Fine, but don't do that again." She said kissing her son on the cheek. "Can you finish cleaning up? I want to get him in his costume before it gets any later."
"Yeah that's fine. I really hope you didn't pick out something girly for him to wear on his first Halloween." Lydia had picked out a costume for Noah and Stiles had no idea what it was, and it was kind of bothering him.
"I guess you'll just have to wait and see." Lydia smiled slyly as she left the kitchen and went upstairs into Noah's nursery, stopping by her daughter's room first to make sure she was putting it on correctly. "Need any help?" She asked her daughter who was having trouble getting her costume on. Cassidy was going as her favorite Disney princess, Ariel from the Little Mermaid, majority of the reason probably being that Cassidy loved the beach when they went on vacation and because they both had red hair.
"Yes please." She said nodding her head, Lydia set down Noah on the floor before helping her daughter get into her mermaid costume, brushed her hair, helped strap on the special purple slippers, and strategically placed the princess tiara on her daughter's head.
"Okay go downstairs and show Daddy how pretty you look while I put Noah's costume on."
"Alright!" She squealed as she bolted for the stairs.
"Noah!" Lydia cooed as she picked him up and removed one of Cassidy's stuffed animals from his grip. "Let's go get your costume on." The baby giggled in her arms as she carried him to her bedroom walk in closet, where she had been hiding the costume. "Here we go." Lydia said laying him on her bed, in awe of how beautiful he was, she couldn't get over how much he looked like Stiles, it was crazy. After changing his diaper after a few minutes he was in his costume and he was adorable. She had decided to dress him up as Batman for Halloween, and she knew that it would make Stiles happy. She opted for everything but the mask, knowing he would take it off anyway.
"Here he is!" Lydia said walking into the living room where Stiles and Cassidy were sitting on the couch with a kids show on the TV while they talked animatedly to each other.
"Oh my god, he's Batman? That is so cool!" He exclaimed as she set the baby on his lap, taking a seat on the other side of him.
"Did I do good or what?"
"You did great. Oh my god this is so cool, it fits him really well too. Seriously so cool." He said leaning over and giving his wife a soft kiss on the lips.
"I almost went for Yoda but I thought that was sort of weird. But Batman I can get behind, it's even cuter then I thought it would be."
"Aren't I cute too?" Cassidy asked climbing onto her mother's lap.
"More like a beautiful princess." Lydia said kissing her daughter's cheek. "How about we get some pictures of you two?" Lydia asked getting up and going to find the family camera just as the doorbell rang. "Stiles, babe, can you get that?"
"Yeah I got it!" He said walking towards the front door Noah on his hip. He opened the door to find Scott and Allison with their two kids, Asher who was dressed up like Iron Man and Christopher who was dressed up as Wolverine.
"Really, Scott? Wolverine?" Lydia asked Scott as the four of them walked into their house.
"Couldn't resist." Scott said with a large, shameless grin. She could feel Allison's pain when she saw her eyes roll.
After setting out candy for trick or treaters, taking pictures of all of the kids in their costumes, finding the trick or treating baskets, getting Noah's stroller ready and blankets together they were finally able to take the kids out trick or treating. After hitting most of the houses in the neighborhood the two families went back to their own houses. Cassidy was happy with all of the candy she received even though she could only have three pieces of candy before bed (Lydia's rule, not Stiles') as well as the many compliments from the neighbors.
"That was so much fun I want to do it again!" Cassidy said to her parents as she finished sorting through all of her candy.
"Next year." Lydia replied yawning and leaned her head on Stiles shoulder.
"He's so cute I don't want to change his outfit." Stiles said looking down at the baby cradled in his arms who was fast asleep.
"Well you can change him into his Batman pajamas and he can always wear the costume later."
"True, yeah I think I'll just change him into his pajamas. Seriously, this was such a cool costume; I thought you were going to do something terrible to him."
"No, I'm a nice Mommy." She said placing her hand gently on his stomach, feeling him breathe in and out. "I love him too much to embarrass him when he can't do anything about it. I'm so going to have to get a picture of you in your Batman shirt with him."
"I will gladly be in that picture."
"Good. He looks so much like you, it's crazy."
"I know it's weird."
"Cassidy looks like you too though."
"Maybe a little bit." He said looking at his daughter who was carefully placing her candy back in her bucket looking a bit tired but super happy.
"Hey guess what?"
"What?"
"I love you." She said leaning her forehead in his shoulder.
"Well that's a relief."
"No seriously, I love you."
"I know, I love you too." He said kissing the top of her head.
"Hey Cass, I think it's about time for bed, yeah?" Lydia asked her yawning daughter.
"Okay." She said walking over towards the couch, leaving her basket in the middle of the living room, and climbed next to her mother nuzzling into her side as they enjoyed the peaceful moment.
