Vaccines are good

Dad!Colin Zabel x Mom!fem!reader

Summary: You and your husband Colin make up a happy family, Colin turned out to be a great father and you both love your little son. But can the detective get out of trouble when they take his son to be vaccinated?

Warnings: fluffy things and mention of needles and childhood illnesses of course

Word count: 2.8k ***************

Colin was preparing lunch while Alex was sitting at the table drawing with his crayons. The handsome detective smashed two eggs into the pan, adding salt, pepper and coriander and then began to beat them with the fork. He would take care of preparing something else for Alex, over time he had learned that the little one didn't like omelettes. He arranged the food on the plates and served them on the table waiting for you to get home from work.

"Hey champion, what are you drawing?" Colin asked, bringing his face closer to the sheet of paper.

The boy happily held the paper up with pride. "It's you with your police car!"

Colin smiled when he saw himself in that drawing. The colors spilled out of the lines but the detective could clearly be seen standing next to his car, which had the dome lights on, shining red and blue. Alex was very proud of his father and always said that when he grows up he wants to be like him, he even often wore his father's clothes and played cops and robbers with his schoolmate. Colin always laughs but obviously he worries that his son will be involved in a dangerous and stressful job like that.

"It's amazing kid! you even drew the details of my uniform, you are talented!"

Alex's cheeks turned tulip-pink with pure joy as he smiled widely. The boy was a carbon copy of his father, same eyes, same hair and every time he smiled you saw Colin. Suddenly there was a sound of keys opening the door and a sweet voice announced their arrival.

"It's mom!!" Alex got out of his chair running towards the door while you opened it laughing at his enthusiasm. Colin also came to meet you.

"Hey! How was my teddy bear today?"

You scooped Alex into your arms as you planted a loud, slobbery kiss on his cheek. The little boy laughed and then with a grimace of disgust he wiped his cheek without stopping laughing, his face was so funny that it infected you with laughter. You weren't afraid to show how much you loved your son even if you were a little clingy at times.

"Hi sweetie, welcome home." Colin hugged you around the waist and kissed you tenderly on the lips.

"Ew..". The boy said, making a disgusted face and looking away.

Colin laughed tenderly. "Why don't you show mommy what you did today, huh?"

The boy nodded with great enthusiasm and jumping happily.

"Let's see Alex, show me"

Your son grabbed your hand and quickly led you to the table where his little drawing rested. With both hands he raised it to the level of his face.

"Ta-daa!! Guess who it is!!"

You gasped in surprise as you grabbed the drawing from the boy's small hands. You looked at it carefully while smiling sweetly. The proportions of the things he had drawn were not perfect but they seemed adorable to you.

"Oh my god Alex, it's beautiful! And It's daddy! and with his police car of course"

"Yeah!! you guessed it!". Alex smiled at you with that gap between his frontal paddles that seemed so tender and pretty to you.

"Let's hang your drawing on the refrigerator door, what do you think, honey?"

Your son shouted yes and you gave Colin a smiling look.

"I think it's a great idea babe"

While you placed the drawing under two magnets Colin asked his son what he wanted for lunch.

"Ok little champ, what do you want for lunch? You don't want an omelet, right?"

Alex shook his head vigorously while sticking out his tongue in a grimace of disgust.

Colin smiled in amusement. "Alright, alright. How about pasta?"

"Yay I love pasta!!"

The detective laughed amused, it was no secret that your son loved Italian food. you turned around looking at them happily.

"Ok, then pasta will be"

Your husband had gotten up from his seat to put the noodles in a pot when Alex sneezed loudly. Colin stopped halfway looking at you while you approached Alex with concern.

"What was that, hun?" You gently took his chin in your hand, inspecting him.

"I don't know, mommy". Alex sniffed the snot with his nose as he wiped it on a sleeve.

"I already told you not to wipe your snot on your sleeve, you'll make it dirty."

"Sorry mom.."

You looked for a disposable tissue in your purse that Colin handed you and leaned close to your son's face.

"Come here"

You carefully wiped his nose while inspecting his nasal passages for any possible infection or irritation but found nothing alarming.

"Well It seems like you don't have any infection, maybe it's a simple allergy. "My love, was he like this all day?" You turned to look at your husband who returned a worrying look.

"Actually no, he was perfect. Just now he started sneezing"

You put your arms on your hips as you looked at your son thoughtfully who looked back at you a little scared.

"But he had already had a cold last week, right?"

Colin nodded. You still remembered what it had been like last week. Alex had had a fever and cough and had stayed in bed resting as the doctor had said. The poor thing couldn't leave the house to play with his friends and spent time eating soups that he considered very bland.

Worried, you walked quickly to your bedroom to look for Alex's vaccination record. You checked that everything was in order, Alex had all the vaccines from when he was a few months old baby. But he was missing the measles vaccine, which he had to get at age 5. Alarmed, you returned to the kitchen with the booklet in your hand. Alex had a terrified face when he saw it, he already knew that the storm was about to break loose.

"Colin, Alex doesn't have the measles vaccine and he's already 6, he must get it as soon as possible".

When the little boy heard the word vaccine, he jumped in his chair.

"Sure, it makes sense. The symptoms are fever, cough and runny nose, that's what he suffered last week"

"Come on, bring the car keys, we have to take him to the nearest hospital".

The detective grabbed the keys that were hanging on a cute keychain on the wall hand painted by Alex and you grabbed your purse and put on a jacket. When you called your son, he got out of the chair scared, getting as far away from the two of you as possible.

"NO!". He yelled

The two of you were about to open the door when the child's scream made you turn around to see him. When the little naughty boy made sure he had both of your attention, he returned to the charge, shouting.

"I DON'T WANNA GO TO THE DOCTOR AND I DON'T WANT VACCINES!!!"

Alex crossed his arms angrily as he furrowed his eyebrows so tightly that his forehead became wrinkled.

"Alexis Zabel!"

You put your hands on your hips, also furrowing your eyebrows, looking at him defiantly, you could play that game too. Everyone in the family knew that when you called your son by his full name it was because you had exhausted your patience and he was in serious trouble.

Colin took a step forward, trying to calm the atmosphere and cut the tension that would be felt in the air.

"Come on Alex, don't make mom angry, don't make it harder".

The detective approached with his arms open to grab his son but the boy was faster and ran screaming towards his room as if he had a rocket up his ass.

"NOOOOO!"

You ran in his direction, annoyed. "Alexis come here immediately!"

Colin grabbed your arm. "Wait, let me talk to him."

You huffed in agreement while your husband smiled at you, caressing your wrist. Colin headed to his son's room. His dark wooden door was decorated with posters of dinosaurs and robots. He knocked on the door twice.

"Alex? It's me, daddy. Can I come in?"

The man heard Alex's muffled voice from being behind the thick door giving him a negative answer, from his tone of voice he seemed still angry.

"Please son I just want to talk I promise"

Zabel waited anxiously by the door when a slight movement of the handle made him sigh in relief. Alex's chubby face barely peeked out of the space he had left open.

"Fine, come in"

Colin walked in smiling. Alex's room was quite big. The walls were decorated with drawings and posters of his favorite cartoons. There were also shelves with dolls and stuffed animals piled up, many of them were dinosaurs, he loved them. His toy trunk also had fire engines, tanks and racing cars that the boy had even taken charge of naming. The bed where the boy was sitting was shaped like a car and his blankets had drawings of prehistoric animals and plants. Colin sat next to his son who remained very serious.

"Listen Al, I know you don't want to get vaccinated but it's for your own good.". Colin used to use that pet name with his son.

"Adults always say that". Alex crossed his arms and turned his face away so as not to see his father.

"But it's because it's the truth. You know?, when I was your age I didn't want to get vaccinated either."

Alex's little face lit up in surprise as she turned to look at him. "Really?"

"Yes, really. Look, if you promise to behave like the brave boy I know you are, on the way out, I promise to buy you the biggest ice cream you want".

"You promise?". Said the boy smiling

Colin extended his pinky in promise. "Pinky promise, kid"

Alex intertwined his pinky with his father's, laughing happily as they both left the room, but not before grabbing a toy car for Alex to entertain himself and calm down. You continued waiting at the door impatiently moving one foot up and down until you saw them leave the room.

"We can go now". Your husband said smiling.

***************

The ride to the hospital was quite quiet, from time to time you would take quick glances at Alex who was calmly playing with his toy in the back seat. Colin sensed your nervousness and grabbed your hand firmly, smiling at you while he held the steering wheel with the other.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." He whispered to you

You nodded, smiling. Everything seemed calm and correct, but when he arrived at the establishment and got out of the car, Alex saw the facade of the hospital and the fear returned to him, so he started screaming and kicking to get back to the car. You grabbed your son's hand, pulling him with Colin's help to get him into the hospital but Alex couldn't stop crying. The detective crouched down next to his son.

"Remember what we talked about, if you continue like this there will be no ice cream"

Colin's slightly threatening tone brooked no reply. Alex was going to say something but upon looking into his father's intimidating eyes he decided to remain silent. So, with a dejected air and the face of a lamb about to go to the slaughterhouse, they headed inside the building. Of course the boy carried the toy car under his arm. In the waiting room there were many children more or less his age, some teenagers and babies a few months old. With a sad and scared face, Alex sat between his parents to await his fatal fate. The other children also seemed somewhat dejected.

You knew how tortuous it is for a child to be vaccinated, you still remember when you went nervously to the waiting room to get an injection when you were a child. And honestly the screams and cries that came from the door where the vaccines were given was not exactly relaxing. That's why you took your son's delicate hand in yours, squeezing it gently to give him warmth, courage and protection.

"Sweetheart, you can do it, I trust you. And when we get into the room I will be with you the entire time and I will hold your hand so it doesn't hurt."

Your son wiped a small tear that was almost dry from his rosy cheek and looked at you with a shy smile.

"Alright, if you say so..."

The hours passed and the waiting room was emptying. There were only two people left ahead of you. Many of the children came out smiling with tears in their eyes, others didn't say anything and looked at the ground as they walked. Then a plump older woman called them by Alex's full name. The little boy did not want to go but he remembered his father's promise and bravely squeezed your hand and headed to the room while your husband sat waiting outside.

The injection room was beige and the walls were decorated with paintings of animals to calm the children, you weren't sure if it really worked. There was also a medium-sized window with baby blue curtains that overlooked a garden full of flowering bushes. You directed your distracted gaze there when the woman brought you out of your thoughts.

"Okay, so this is little Alex Zabel."

The lady was wearing a dark blue nurse's uniform and was smiling affably. You looked at your son who could only look down holding on to his toy car.

"Oh it's ok honey, it'll just be a little prick". The woman said

Alex's eyes were starting to water again so you tenderly wrapped your arms around his shoulders in a protective gesture. "Sweetie everything will be fine, you'll see"

The nurse told Alex to sit in a chair and roll up the sleeve of his shirt so she could give him the injection. She also asked him which arm he wanted the injection in and the boy pointed to his left arm. The good-natured woman began to prepare the needle, taking one out of a sterilized envelope that was in a plastic box full of them. When you saw them, a slight chill ran down your spine. You still remembered your first vaccine as if it were yesterday and you understood everyone more than ever. those children who came out crying.

Alex also saw the needles and buried his face in your chest, scared. You grabbed her hand and whispered the words you had said before "Remember, mommy is here and I won't let go of your hand."

The little boy nodded and sat up straight in his chair, squeezing your hand tightly as he showed his left arm to the nurse. She tapped the needle with her gloved hands to make the liquid go down.

"Alright, little Alex, take a deep breath."

Alex closed his eyes tightly until his nose wrinkled and he squeezed your hand even harder as it started to hurt, never underestimate the strength of a scared 6 year old child. It was barely a second until the nurse announced that she was finished.

"Done! You see it wasn't that big of a deal?".She laughed sweetly

Your son opened his brown eyes wide and looked at his arm in surprise, looking for any cut or wound, both women laughed and the nurse carefully squeezed his arm with cotton.

"Hold this cotton in your arm for a few minutes, then you could throw it away. Aaand." The woman took out a red popsicle from a jar and handed it to the child who was looking with bright, greedy eyes. "This is for you, for being such a brave child."

"That's very kind, thank you" You said to the nurse and looked at your son "You thank her too, Alex."

The little one had already put the lollipop in his mouth without thinking twice and didn't even take it out to respond "Thzank yough"

Mother and son left the small room hand in hand, happy and laughing. Colin was already standing waiting for them with a relieved smile on his face.

"So? How did my little champion do?"

"Oh he was incredible, he didn't cry even once"

"And look daddy!!, the nurse gave me a lollipop for being good!"

"Oh look at that!"

Colin lifted the boy into his arms giving him a kiss on the cheek while you held his toy.

"It seems that today you are going to stuff yourself with so many sweet things"

"What does that mean?". You asked funny and curious

"It means daddy will buy me ice cream!!!"

Colin looked down, smiling a little embarrassed for not telling his wife about the deal.

"Oh yeah? Well I guess daddy can buy ice cream for everyone too." You said laughing and giving your husband a kiss on the cheek.

Colin laughed and agreed to pay for the other ice creams. They returned to the car happy, heading to the nearest ice cream parlor, eager to try that sweet and frozen dessert.

***************

I have read many stories where Colin is the father of a girl, so I wanted to write a story where he had a son.

By the way, I wrote this after reading the @sweeter-innocence-fics fic. Thanks for being an inspiration for this, you can read her Colin fic here

Bestie hehe whose pullout game is worst and whose is best out of the characters Evan plays???

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑬𝑽𝑨𝑵𝑺 — 𝑷𝑼𝑳𝑳-𝑶𝑼𝑻 𝑮𝑨𝑴𝑬

ft. tate langdon ‧ kit walker ‧ kyle spencer ‧ jimmy darling ‧ james patrick march ‧ kai anderson ‧ peter maximoff ‧ colin zabel — nsfw ; MDNI 18+

a/n: hey bestie i love your mind

⟢ 𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐎𝐍. (3/10)

his intentions are good. his execution? terrible. pull-out game is WEAK purely due to incompetence.

“fuck—wait, wait, oh shit, i was supposed to—”

feels guilty as hell afterward. “you don’t think i did it on purpose, right? you believe me, don’t you?”

⟢ 𝐊𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐑. (2/10)

kit TRIES to be responsible. really, he does. but he’s also a man who fucks deep and loves even deeper.

a very passionate lover and in the heat of the moment, he forgets everything else.

honestly, he doesn’t even try that hard.

if you reminded him, he’d listen. but if you didn’t? yeah, he’s finishing inside.

if you got pregnant, he’d step up immediately. his pullout game is terrible but he’s a great dad.

⟢ pre death .ᐟ 𝐊𝐘𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑. (10/10)

doesn’t take risks; he’s got a good head on his shoulders.

his timing and self control are actually great. the pull-out game is strong with this one.

even before he met you, kyle doesn’t sleep around like most of his frat brothers, even though he totally could.

⟢ 𝐉𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆. (6/10)

jimmy knows he can’t afford to be reckless. he’s working in a freak show—not exactly the best place to raise a kid.

he also worries about passing on his ectrodactyly. even though you tell him constantly that it doesn’t matter.

most of the time, he cums on your tits or ass.

but when he’s drunk, he’s super impulsive, emotional. all self control flies out the window.

if you got knocked up, he’d have a mini breakdown and go on a two day bender but would also step up.

he will also propose immediately (after he gets his shit together)

⟢ 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇. (10/10)

he is nothing if not disciplined.

if james ever decided to give you an heir, that decision was made long before the act.

lowkey has reservations because of bartholomew.

⟢ cult leader .ᐟ 𝐊𝐀𝐈 𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍. (0/10)

kai never pulls out. he never intended to in the first place.

at first, he’ll act like it was an accident—just for plausible deniability. he’ll moan about how tight you are, how good you feel, and then when it happens:

“fuck—couldn’t help it. you feel too good, baby.” he’s fake guilty, kissing your shoulder, murmuring “next time i’ll pull out, promise.”

next time never came. (but he did. inside you) at some point, he just stopped pretending.

“this is how it’s supposed to be. why would i waste it anywhere but inside you?”

if you tell him you’re not ready for kids, he’ll say “women are biologically wired to want children. you’re just brainwashed by feminism.” (i hate this guy)

0/10 cos he’s actively TRYING to fail.

if you got pregnant? he’d be ecstatic.

⟢ 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐗𝐈𝐌𝐎𝐅𝐅. (5/10)

thinks he has great control, but he really, really doesn’t.

he’ll pull out last second. but he cuts it close EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

sometimes he miscalculates timing.

“uh. okay, okay—don’t freak out, but I MAY have just—wait, are you on the pill?”

⟢ 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐍 𝐙𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐋. (9/10)

very responsible. colin respects boundaries and never pressures you into risky sex. always wears condoms unless you explicitly ask not to.

“you sure? ‘cause, uh, i got condoms—like, a lot. not a weird amount, just… y’know, normal.”

lowkey wants to have kids with you… but suppresses the “selfish” fantasy.

his one weakness? when he’s tipsy.

the one time you were both drunk, making out on the couch, which led to hot and sloppy sex. you felt so good and he was so lost in it, and then—

“oh, shit.”

immediate panic. full-body guilt. buys you plan b, also flowers and coffee because he feels guilty.

overall he’s very reliable, just that one slip-up.

OHHHHH MY GODDDDD I'M CRYING MY HEART

Mmmfff Colin being a father to twins, my heart is aching.

Anyway here's a little thought about it.

"daddyy.." Your younger child whispered into Colin's ear, smiling to herself. Elke giggled and waited for her father to wake up. It was 6am and Halloween. Your favourite holiday. Made extra special with the two 6 year olds bouncing on their toes.

"ah it's not even 8 yet.." Colin sleepily chuckled, scooping up Elke into his arms.

"but it's Halloween!!" Levi piped up, cuddling himself into your chest still. "And Halloween is extra special!"

"is it now? Wanna tell me how this one is special kiddo?" He chuckled again, sitting up and letting Elke nuzzle into his neck happily. The twins loved Halloween as much as you, dragging the tired detective into your celebrations for the day.

"My cousin made their costumes this year." You chimed in before the little ones said anything. Your cousin was a seamstress, and made the twins two outfits based off Enchanted, Elke's favourite Disney movie. Elke's dress was basically a mini version of Giselle's wedding dress, and Levi's outfit was a mini version of Edward's prince outfit. "we're gonna mini versions of Giselle and Edward running around the house."

"oh that's gonna be real cute." Colin smirked, kissing Elke's forehead. "I think you're gonna be the prettiest princess in your costume little one."

"nuh uh! Momma's the prettiest princess!"

"noo, momma's the prettiest queen." Colin quickly retorted Levi's compliment. Which just made you chuckle bashfully, and blush at the thought of being a queen. "Can you two go and wash your hands for me kiddos? Give your momma and I time to wake up properly. Then we can make a start on celebrating Halloween."

The twins immediately jumped off your bed, running into the bathroom giggling to themselves about today being Halloween. Colin sighed after and smiled at you tiredly. "How on earth do they have so much energy at 6 in the morning..?"

"That will forever be a mystery to me my darling." You yawned a bit, smiling before kissing Colin's cheek. "They might have just taken all my love for Halloween from me."

"that's impossible love, I've never know anyone who loves Halloween more than you."

"it might be possible. I can't be bothered to get up right now." Your words only made Colin laugh a bit, and he immediately got out of bed, walking over to your side. "No. No.. Colin don't-" and you were immediately picked up, his arms under your legs and under your arms. A squeal escaped you as your arms instinctvely went around his neck.

"Let's go make breakfast for the waiting twins." He grinned, striding out your room with you in his arms. "Levi! Elke! Come help with breakfast!" Colin said over his shoulder into the twins' room. They immediately rushed down the stairs, watching Colin carry you into the kitchen.

He placed you down eventually and you just smiled at him, kissing him. "you're an idiot, I love you so much."

Colin happily kissed you, keeping his arms around your waist. "Love you more darling, and that'll always be true."

daycare principal reader x dad colin zabel <3

warning: VERY LONGGGG BCS I AM COLIN DEPRIVED. not proofread HUHU

colin who would fetch you from the daycare when your schedules match. he'd bring a simple bouquet of different flowers every week. but when he's joined by your toddler son cohen when he's also done with daycare for the day, cohen would hold a smaller version of their gift, all smiles and at the ready to give them to you.

colin and cohen, who compete on who can give you the grandest bouquet every time they visit. this started when you pointed out that cohen, at the age of just 16, is now standing tall just like his dad. he would tease that colin should be the one holding the smaller bouquets from now on.

colin who would help you prepare your staffs lesson plans and activity sheets for the day. sometimes, when he likes the stickers you're preparing for the kids, he can't stop himself but steal one and paste on his laptop. you'd nag him, telling him now you'd print another one because he just stole from a kid but he just smiles goofily at you.

bonus — your son cohen also inherited this habit from his dad. fruits, cartoon characters, even if it's just stickers of the alphabet, they feel the need to claim one as if they're also part of the class. if colin sticks his collection to his laptop, cohen decorates his phone case with it.

colin who one time seriously considered rating your students' names for baby names inspiration when you were still pregnant with cohen. he liked your student max, thought catherine was a good sweet name for a girl, but one day it just clicked in you cohen and went with it. catherine was a contender for a girl baby.

colin who felt lost when raising a teenager cohen with you. he wasn't exactly a rebel kid but everyone has that phase. as someone who's line of work lets him firsthand witness the ugliness of the world, he was rather harsh and firm with his rules. they argued a lot, with cohen hurting his dad's feelings by saying he's suffocating to be with.

you comforted your husband that night, his eyes red and his breathing unstable. you don't miss the way he's trying to be quiet, not wanting your son to hear how his father is right now.

you whispered lovely things to him, reassuring him that he is such a strong father for being able to recognize and set how to make his kid feel safe. you also share his same need of protecting cohen, because as a teacher and principal with literal kids, there's nothing you'd want more than a safe and happy place for their innocence and childlike wonder to remain.

you talked to an apologetic cohen the next morning after colin went in early to work. you told him that there will still be boundaries, rules, and curfew, but it will be eased a bit provided that he behaves and cooperates. you made sure he understands that his father is only right to be that strict, but he doesn't have to be harsh. cohen only nods and goes off to school. for the next years, he's never caused trouble.

colin who enjoys roadtrips with his family. the car is full of laughter, music, and memorable silents. you try not to sleep much during long drives to entertain colin, but his light and loving touches to your hand and thighs lull you to sleep.

colin who once had to bring young cohen to work because you both had changes in schedule and your usual nanny is not available for your rush notice.

luckily, the cases that day were nothing serious. colin and another officer were in the middle of writing up a few people for vandalizing when they hear the familiar sound of a spray. they turn their heads to see cohen using one of the confiscated spray paints and crossed out the word SHERIFF in the beat up sheriff truck, replacing it with "DADA'S CAR" just right above the word easttown, the wobbly blue writing looking radiant against the old car.

thank god they weren't using his black land cruiser that day.

colin argues with your students as they wait for their guardians to show up and for you to finish your files in your office. he doesn't hesitate grimacing at the statement of a kid saying paw patrol is the best cop show ever. this led to the kids uniting against your husband, cornering him with reenactment of the show's best moments. when your husband teases them why paw patrol sucks, someone said they don't expect much coming from someone who looked like they enjoyed cocomelon. colin took offense and that was the loudest the kids had ever been in your daycare.

when colin was assigned to a case a few towns over for a few weeks, it was one of the hardest time between you and cohen. two of your teaching personnel just relocated to another state, so you're short-staffed and forced to work shifts between sessions of two different age groups. on top of colin being tied up to his work, you just had to drown in yours at the same time and leave cohen all alone.

this is what you've been avoiding. as someone who grew up with a father who is a principal in a school a few hours away, you sulk in the fact that other children get to see him more than you, his own biological child. you don't want cohen to feel what you felt, and so far you have managed with colin to work with a schedule that at least leaves one parent with your son.

that night, you were about to come up to your son's room when he heads down the stairs, your teaching materials in hand. cohen doesn't notice you but instead sets everything down in the living room, cutting up papers and stapling things.

when you told him that he doesn't need to do this, he insists. "dad won't be here for a while so i'll take his job. you can watch your show here or take a nap. i won't touch the things that are too complicated for me so it won't be messed up."

you almost dialed colin to ask him who the fuck has been raising this gentleman in front of you. you sat beside cohen, giving him a kiss on his forehead, before grabbing some things to prepare your work. you both talked about your days, and when you were an hour in working, you allowed your son to order whatever his craving is as a thank you.

cohen lights up and grabs the telephone eagerly. so here you are, 10 in a tuesday evening, munching away a huge box of pizza with two flavors while a show plays in the background. you saw cohen keep a star sticker for himself and placed on his phone case. you don't reprimand him, but instead asked him to reach for his phone and call his dad goodnight.

Sorry For the Leash Up

Summary: Colin Zabel has a dog named Rex and Rex finds Colin a lover by accidentally toppling them over when on a run (Two versions, one male and one female, will post both) Notes: Warning! A dog plays cupid and Colin is a fumbling mess in front of hot people that bi little mess he is! Word Count: 1,353

Coffee and a walk in the park on a Sunday morning was perhaps Joseph’s favorite way to spend his Sundays. He visited his dad, then went to his favorite coffee shop, aka the one he owns and built himself, and then went for his walk. He had his camera around his neck and his coffee in hand and looking around the park he’s seen hundreds of times but still looks as if it’s his first time, taking pictures of random interactions purely for the sake of people watching.

Like now as he takes a picture of a guy playing with his dog, German Shepherd it looked like. He smiled and kept walking. He sat on a bench after a while and started taking aimless pictures, doing so for maybe thirty minutes until he got a call and started walking again.

Bad habit of how he couldn’t have a conversation and sit still during it.

Colin was with his dog, Rex, and playing with the frisbee and laughing as he caught it, calling him a ‘good boy’ and scratching behind his ears. After an hour of messing around is usually when they started their run so he hooked Rex up, then went to the sidewalk and started running their route–well until the big collision.

“Hey! What gives!?” Joseph groaned from the ground.

Colin groaned and Rex barked. “I could ask you the same thing- Oh your leg- you okay?”

Joseph furrowed his brows at the ground and then looked down. “Shit,” he saw the rip, the blood and groaned as he held his leg, adrenaline wavering.

“H-here I’ll help you-” Colin said and whistled to Rex pointing to stand next to them. “Hold onto him.”

“I-” he said about to protest but the pain was far too much and just groaned, putting a hand up and letting the dog be his guide to stand then hobbling to a bench where Colin helped prop his leg. “Thanks.”

“N-no problem, I uhm, I’ll be right back I have a first aide kit in my car- It’s a scratch so just a bandage until you can get it checked-”

“I can take care of myself-”

“You couldn’t even get up five seconds ago, let me help.” Colin pointed out his tone worried, a stranger and he was worried about him, comes with the job he assumed.

Joseph stared at him, then the dog and sighed, “fine, thank you.” “Good choice, I’ll be right back. Rex, stay.” Colin said to the dog and held up a hand to the dog.

Again Joseph nodded and let Colin leave only to look at the dog and make a remark, “your owner is bossy.” The dog barked, he laughed, and nodded. “Glad you agree.”

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Colin came back, he helped take care of the wound making small talk nervously, he was always nervous around people, but this felt oddly different. He just ignored it and laughed as he finished the wrapping as Joseph joked around.

“Yeah I guess you will have to have a nickname to match a mummy, I uhm, again I’m so sorry.”

He was still laughing at his own joke but shook his head, “no, no, no, it’s fine, I have a Halloween costume now for my sister’s party-”

The detective cracked a smile and nodded. “Ah, then that works, you can stand though right?”

Joseph forgot about that. He moved his leg carefully and slowly stood, unsteady, not too much pressure and that is great due to the fact her WALKED here from the bakery–fuck. “Uhm, I can stand but I have a little under a mile to walk-”

“I can take you-” Colin stopped realizing he said it a little too quick to the chase- he ahemed and nodded. “I-I mean I c-can take you, where do you have to go? Rex and I are leaving now anyways.”

The injured hadn’t realized the haste of which he responded was looking at his camera and then his phone, both safe from his tumble. “Uhm the bakery on Quin Street?”

“Oh perfect I was headed there! Love their coffee-”

“Oh really? It’s my place!” “Oh damn really? That’s impressive, I usually go there before work odd I’ve never seen you-”

“I’m usually taking care of my dad after I open, so I let employees in and then go take care of him-”

Colin was curious but he didn’t pry, he just nodded and smiled. “Huh, small world am I right?” he smirked and the blonde SWORE he felt his heart race.

I mean Colin was really hot so could you blame him??

“So you’ll help me?”

“Obviously, here hang onto me yeah?” The brunette went to the side he couldn’t walk with. Again the other man’s heart raced, he out his arm around Colin’s, who started blushing like a school boy caught stealing chocolate, shoulders. “G-great okay, c’mon Rex, to the car buddy.”

The dog  barked, nudged Joseph’s leg to face him towards Colin and he ran forward to the car, as the two men apologized to each other for the mishap again caused by the dog they went to Colin’s car and then he helped Joseph in and went to the driver’s seat.

More small talk and soon they were standing against Joseph’s car. Who thanked Colin profusely. “Uhm, thank you for the bandage, I’ll get it checked out and I appreciate you and your dog-”

“We knocked you down- you’re so calm about it.” “My sister’s pit has knocked me farther, you’re fine.” Joseph laughed.

Which made his heart just- unexplainable, so he asked “well first, heh, sorry for the leash up-” he laughed at his own joke, the other cracked a smile. “So, how about I uhm–Heh, this might sound so strange– but you said ex-boyfriend at one point so I am taking a swing in the dark and- Ugh okay I’ll just say it, could I buy you a beer or something? Some time? If you’re busy that’s totally fine I won’t-” The detective rambled, and was stumbling over the words so obviously Joseph laughed and nodded. “Like a date?” Honestly at first sight neither pegged the other to be the slightest bit slaycore, BUT it was definitely WELCOMED! “Cause then I would love to, but I need a name first.” Colin paused, he smiled-pushed his lips together-then smiled again. He put a hand out. “Colin Zabel.” “Joseph McCabe. Nice to meet you, I’ll give you my number, how’s Thursday?”

“Perfect.” Then they exchanged numbers, Joseph limped to his car, and Colin smiled as he got into his and drove off.

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday came and went, they had their date, and it went pretty good–well considering it’s now a year later and they basically live together I would say better than good (you can decide but we all know).

They hit it off right from pick up, to drop-off and first kiss. It was odd, COlin had liked guys before sure, but this was new, first time kissing another guy and it was perfect to him–Joseph too… they just clicked.

Joseph and him kept going out, getting closer, Colin told him on date four how he had almost gotten married but it all fell apart– Joseph told him his own heart break and they just comforted one another. They worked together and built a relationship from shambles of old ones.

Every time they got together it was like they found their way home, first night together together they were like magnets, and then it was official there on out they realized this was it…. Rex was their matchmaker too, he always was pushing them together and barking at them when they were too far from one another for his liking, like a kid who loved seeing their parents dance together.

And when Joseph moved in completely Rex was THRILLED, they became a family, three years in they were married after a two month engagement because ‘why wait’ Joseph had said.

They were the ultimate match, fixing broken wounds they didn’t HAVE to fix, and it was beautiful, and all because of a cupid-playing police dog.

Notes: I tried my hardest if this is bad I am SOOO sorry, hope you enjoy y'all!! As always stay hydrated, well fed, well rested! Hope your day, night, whatever time it is is GREAT!

⋆𐙚 ₊ pregnancy announcement .ᐟ

requested by anon

ft. kit walker ‧ kyle spencer ‧ kai anderson ‧ rory monahan ‧ peter maximoff ‧ colin zabel

⟢ 𝐊𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐑.

kit would be stunned at first, eyes widening as he processes the news. but a slow smile would spread across his face as he takes it in. a soft joy would fill his expression as he realises he’s about to become a father, and he’d pull you into a big hug.

his protective side would instantly surface. as someone who would do anything to keep his loved ones safe, he’d be extra cautious about your well-being. “tell me if you need anything, alright?” he’d want to make sure you’re comfy and taken care of, going out of his way to handle things so you can rest.

he’d worry about whether he can be a good father. he’d confide in you, saying, “i just hope i can be the dad this little one deserves.” he’d want to do everything right, maybe even overthinking small details about parenting, but he’d be earnest in his desire to give your child a better life.

would immediately start making plans for the future, thinking about practical things like finding a safe place to live, budgeting, and making sure there’s enough space for your growing family. he’d sit down with you to talk about these things, wanting to be responsible and prepare as much as possible.

works extra shifts to earn more money.

he’d become even more attentive, watching out for anything you might need, even if it’s something small. kit would check in on you constantly, asking if you’re okay, if you need anything. insisting on doing things for you, like cooking (or attempting to), lifting things, or making sure you’re relaxed.

hope you don’t get kidnapped by aliens lol

⟢ pre death .ᐟ 𝐊𝐘𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑.

completely bewildered, his eyes widening and his jaw dropping slightly. he’d never expect something like this, not now, not while he’s still in college.

nervously laugh, thinking maybe it’s a joke (even though he knew you wouldn’t joke about things like this) . “wait… seriously?”

once he’s wrapped his head around the news, he’d immediately ask, “are you okay? how do you feel?” wanting to make sure you’re not scared or upset.

the second question he’s ask is whether you’d want to keep the baby. he’d respect your decision no matter what. it’s your body, after all.

kyle is a smart and super responsible guy, he’d begin overthinking everything. “oh my god, we need to figure everything out—where are we gonna live? i don’t even have a real job yet!” his mind would fill with thoughts of money, school, and what your parents would say.

he’d want to start planning for the future, but he’d be panicked about how little time you both might have. he’d talk about finishing school quickly, getting a job, saving up, and trying to secure a better living situation.

you’d probably hear him start cracking dad jokes way too soon.

would randomly ask, “do you think the baby will have your eyes?” or “do you think they’ll like sports?” he’d start imagining what kind of person your child will be, picturing what it’ll be like to raise them together, and getting really invested in the idea of being a dad.

⟢ 𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐇𝐀𝐍.

his excitement would be matched by a fierce desire to shield you and the baby from public attention. “we don’t need the whole world in our business,” he’d say, giving you a serious look as he assures you he’ll do everything he can to keep the news private.

though he’s usually very open and upbeat on social media, rory would hold back from posting anything about the pregnancy until he feels it’s the right time. he’d cherish these early moments in private, making sure you’re protected from the stress of the spotlight. if he’s asked by friends or fans, he’d stay low-key, not wanting to give anything away until you both feel ready to share the news.

the two of you would joke and laugh about all the outlandish hollywood baby names out there, making ridiculous suggestions “can you imagine if we named the kid ‘rayleigh moonbeam monahan’?”

when you two finally announce the pregnancy, he’d choose a special photo—you glowing and visibly pregnant or a snapshot of the ultrasound. the caption would be heartfelt like , “just when i thought life couldn’t get any better with you, y/n… along comes our little one to prove me wrong. feeling so grateful, blessed, and ready for this next chapter together. ❤️”

would be adamant about protecting the baby’s identity, using stickers or taking photos from behind to shield your child’s face. he wants them to have a real childhood, not just be “rory monahan’s kid.”

⟢ cult leader .ᐟ 𝐊𝐀𝐈 𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍.

the moment you tell him you’re pregnant, kai’s eyes would light up with an almost crazed joy. he’d instantly see this as the fulfillment of his vision, his grand plan for creating a “messiah baby.”

would immediately assume control over the entire situation. he’d tell you that everything will now revolve around the pregnancy and what this child represents.

would obsess over every detail related to the pregnancy. he’d dictate what you eat, how you exercise, and even what kind of prenatal care you receive, believing that this child must be raised under perfect conditions.

he’d talk about how this child will be the first to be raised in his image, with his values and beliefs. “i’ll teach them everything they need to know. they’ll be stronger, smarter, better than anyone else,” he’d promise. he’d start planning out the child’s entire life before they’re even born, from their education to their role in the movement. (wow. poor kid lol)

despite being an asshole, kai would show an intense devotion to you during the pregnancy. you’re the mother of the messiah, after all. he’d shower you with praise and attention, possibly even becoming more affectionate. say things like, “you’re perfect. you’re giving me the greatest gift anyone could ever give.”

there would be moments where kai’s obsession give way to genuine tenderness. he’d touch your bump with awe, whispering, “i can’t believe it… we’re creating something amazing.” there’d be an almost childlike wonder in his eyes at times, as he’s totally in awe of the life growing inside you.

would be super gentle during sex and even go down on you when you’re horny :)

⟢ 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐍 𝐙𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐋.

when you tell colin you’re pregnant, he’d froze, mouth slightly agape, eyes wide in absolute disbelief. his expression slowly shifting from shock to wonder. completely lost for words, standing there and struggling to find a response, yet somehow still managing to look at you with pure awe.

then, without warning, he’d swept you up into his arms. “are you serious? we’re going to be parents?” his voice shaking slightly as the reality settled in. then the two of you would kiss deeply, colin holding you close as he tries to pour all his excitement, gratitude, and love into that one kiss.

starts reading up on everything he can about pregnancy, making sure he’s prepared for every step.

he’d sit you down with a notebook and start talking about houses, school districts, and daycare options.

whatever your craving—whether it’s pickles, ice cream, or some random weird food—you can count on him to show up with it, no matter the hour. “got your favourite, plus a backup in case you change your mind,” (colin zabel the man that you are)

would get so invested in learning about babies that you’d find him falling asleep with baby books and parenting guides in his lap. he’d read up on everything from swaddling techniques to tips on managing sleep schedules, wanting to be as prepared as possible.

meticulous about getting everything ready for the baby, safety-proofing the house, researching baby essentials etc. when you start picking out strollers, cribs, and bottles, colin would obsess over quality and safety ratings.

be prepared for dad jokes.

⟢ 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐗𝐈𝐌𝐎𝐅𝐅.

when you first tell him, he’d literally freeze. *peter.exe has stopped working*. “whoa… wait… a baby? like a real tiny person?” he’d feel overwhelmed, knowing he’s on the verge of a huge life change and trying to wrap his head around what it means to be responsible for another human being.

always ready to run off and get whatever weird snacks you’re in the mood for.

would totally go overboard in the baby shopping department, especially toys and gadgets. he’d bring home all sorts of things that seem way too advanced, like gaming consoles and motorized toys, “look, our kid’s gonna be a tech whiz,” he’d say, holding up the PS5 he bought.

he’d immediately start practicing his dad jokes. “did you hear about the cheese factory explosion? there was de-brie everywhere!”

peter would be driven by a deep desire to be the kind of father he always wished for himself. quiet moments of reflection, probably late at night, thinking about all the ways he can be there for your child. “i’m gonna make sure our kid knows they’re loved every day.” he’d tell you. it’d become a goal he’d never stop working toward, fueled by his love for you and the family you’re about to start together.

Imagine: dad!Colin begging you for "just one more" when you're both busy fooling around one night. Like, he's being all soft and loving, pushing deep inside of you and bucking his hips, and he's all soft and squirmy and needy, and - "come on, baby... so good already with the ones you've given me, so perfect, one more itty bitty baby wouldn't hurt, right-?"

...yep, this man deserves a whole fucking litter of little zabels. Fuck it.

Do you know how big a brain you have???

FUCK-

Shit got me giggling and kicking my feet at my desk.

It's when you're spooning too. He can't help himself and mutters sooo many apologies into your ear whilst squeezing your middle. You're as close as humanely possible, but he wants closer. He wants to keep you with him as close as possible. So he keeps muttering whimpery praises to your ear.

"please... Just one more... My babies deserve a sibling.. fuck-" he keeps moaning different versions into your ear while you occasionally moan back, digging your nails into your arm. You're too hazy in lust to tell him you're happy with Levi and Elke, so you let him believe he's gonna knock you up again as your pussy squeezes his cock for all the cum he can manage.

Then you both promptly pass out bcs it's been feeling sooo good <3<3

CHRISTMAS STORY ONE | CAR’S OUTSIDE — dad!c. zabel x reader

warnings; none! just fluff :p

an; happy beginning to ‘the christmas story night’! had to start off with dad!colin of course <33 i hope to serve in every single one of these for you guys!

Bows are scattered along the coffee table, cut off pieces of wrapping paper that seemed to always come with wrapping any sort of present. 

Your tired, the scissors in your hand slipping dangerously close to your leg when your eyes slowly begin to close before quickly opening when you feel the sharp poke. 

Breathing in deeply, you drop them onto the table before reaching for your phone and the wine glass. Taking a sip, you check the time - 2:30 in the morning. 

Frowning, you glance at your text messages to see if Colin had said anything about coming in later once again. But there was nothing. You place the glass down and stand from the floor, sitting back on the couch instead. 

Your head leans back slowly into the soft cushion, a soft sigh escaping your lips. It’s super quiet, all except the wind blowing outside, snow painting the lawns white. The lights to the christmas tree was a warm multi-colored lights - painting everything in a nostalgic light. 

It was so comfortable. 

Five minutes wouldn’t hurt anyone. Just five. Maybe even ten. 

The nap turned out to be two hours. Soft snores escaping you causing Colin to smile as he wipes off his shoes and places his coat onto the hook. He slowly walks into the living room, staring down at your sleeping form, smirking slightly. 

A vision you are, truly. 

In one of his button up shirts, one leg halfway off the couch while the other props against the back of the couch. One of the socks on your foot is pushed down slightly while the other remains pulled up. 

He knows your neck is going to hurt in the morning — he’ll just have to give you a neck massage while you all watch a christmas movie. 

His eyes then glance over to the half-wrapped presents and the mess you’ve made. He knows you had probably told yourself only a five or ten minute nap, then you’d clean up and finish whatever else had to be done. 

Sighing, he grabs the wine glass and takes a sip. He scrunches up his face and places it back down before stepping closer to you. His hands land on your cheeks, pushing back your hair that had twisted over your forehead and close to your mouth. He smiles when you start to stir just as his fingers pass over your temple. 

“You didn’t text me.” You mutter. You know Colin’s touch. 

He frowns and drags the pad of his thumb under your eye. “I know. I’m sorry. We just ended the case,” Your eyes finally open at that - red and a bit puffy. He’s never felt so in love with another person. “And I’m off for the next four weeks.” 

“You’re not lying, are you?” You could almost cry. 

“I’m not lying,” He presses a kiss against your lips - despite the bad wine breath you know you probably had. “Gracie, you, and I are going on a trip — Mare’s gift to you for taking me away from you guys so many nights.” 

Your arms wrap around his shoulders, pulling him closer. He laughs as he falls onto your left thigh and half on the edge of the couch. His arm wraps around your waist as the other holds the arm of the couch - he’s being careful of his long legs stretching out and kicking the leg of the table. 

“Oh, thank God,” You whisper and press your lips against his temple and cheek, beside his eye. “I’ve missed you so much, it hurts.” 

The smile on his face falters slightly, and his hand begins to slide up your back slowly, gripping the back of your neck softly. “I know…I know, I’m sorry. I hate leaving you and Gracie.” 

“It’s not your fault that there’s bad people out there,” You whisper. “You just need to make sure you put them all away. They keep stealing you away from me.” You know it’s not possible, but it’s endearing to him that you have that much faith in him that he could potentially put every bad person away. 

“Anything for you, honey,” He then pulls away and stares at you. You grin softly at him, eyes slightly drooping. He taps your cheek softly, playfully, with his hand. “Alright. Bedtime for you, missy. You’re up wayyyy past your bedtime.” He stands and pulls you up.  

You stumble into his chest, legs too tired to even properly stand. A small oof leaves your lips before looking up at him. “Why can’t we have a sleep over down here?” 

His brows lift slightly. “Sleep over? Do you not remember that I’m your husband?” 

“Mhm,” You smile softly. “And I’m lucky for that. Gracie has the best dad and I have the best husband.” 

He flushes and shakes his head. “Okay. You’re tired. Come on.” He grabs your hand, walking upstairs with you. He walks to your side of the bed, pulling down the covers. 

You immediately fall onto the mattress, eyes closing as you let out a deep sigh. “That feels nice.” You wiggle around. He smiles and pulls the covers over you, leaning down and pressing a kiss to your forehead, turning to leave. 

You quickly catch his wrist, squinting up at him with a frown. “Where are you going?” 

“I’ll be back. I promise. I need to make sure everything downstairs is locked and off.” 

Reluctantly letting go, you nod and struggle to watch him leave. You turn onto your side, eyes closing once again. Colin makes his way downstairs, beginning to clean up after finishing the last bit of presents, placing them under the tree. He checks the door and flips off the porch light and makes his way up the steps once again.  

He changes quickly before slipping under the covers. You shift closer immediately, his arm slipping under your head, dropping his hand to your shoulder. Your arm drapes across his stomach. “Merry Christmas.” You slur, voice in and out. 

He smiles and presses a lingering kiss to your hairline. “Merry Christmas.”

the most beautiful thing — colin zabel.

fluff, daycare kids, dad!colin zabel. 688 words.

The foyer is vibrant with the innocence and laughter of the kids circling around the gentle giant struggling to stay seated on a kiddy-sized pink stool. Colin watches in awe as the kids perform for him the new dance craze in the daycare centre, girls to the right showing him their drawings, boys to the left toying his hair with yellow star-shaped clips.

You could sense Colin getting a little bit uncomfortable, but you know it's because he's struggling to give every kid the attention they deserve when they're all flocking at him at once. Still, you decide not to approach him yet, leaning to the doorframe of your office, taking in the wonderful sight in front of you.

Colin claps as the performance comes to an end, complimenting the girls for their uniquely artistic talent, and thanking the boys for making him extra handsome with the hair clips, reminding them to do the same for their mothers and sisters.

You laughed as the kids spoke at once, their excited voices coming off as one roar, shocking and overwhelming Colin with the number of kids he has to tune to and give love to. Your coworker notices the commotion and guides the kids to a room where they can wait for their guardians and not gush over Colin all at once. Colin thanks your fellow teacher, bidding the kids goodbye, as they walk away from him with slumped shoulders.

You finally walk over to him, reaching for his hand to help him stand up, before cupping his face to greet him with a chaste kiss on the lips. Colin lets go, his face glowing with love as he sheepishly hands you a simple bouquet of your favourite flowers. His smile falters, though, as if he immediately remembered something, and he speaks in a panicked voice.

"Can you tell Eris I really loved her art? I don't think I was able to tell her much how I appreciated it because Kelsey and Azi were speaking over her and — oh lord, I don't think I looked at Mike when I clapped for their dance. He must've thought I didn't notice him or something—" You cut off Colin's cute rambles with another kiss, and you can feel him relax in your presence, totally surrendering himself to you.

You thought Colin surrounded by the daycare children was the cutest scene ever. That improves five years later when he's by the foyer once again with a tiny boy, the baby's hair now showing a bit of curl, his brown little doe eyes looking back to your husband, babbling a mix of coherent and random words.

They're both holding a bouquet and Colin helps the boy grip carefully the smaller one in his hands when they have finally noticed you. You swear the air feels lighter when you three lock eyes as if their smiles replenish your energy.

"The first one to give Mama her flowers gets to love her the most!" And as if Cohen could understand his father's full sentences, your toddler runs and wobbles towards you, his hands up in the air, the flowers lightly swaying as he moves. You laugh at Colin, who runs in short strides, letting Cohen happily lead.

You kneel down and open your arms, cheering Cohen towards you. Colin yelps in fake agony but is now side by side with his son. Cohen takes a look on his left and Colin then sends a small mocking wave to his way. Now with all his might, your toddler speeds towards you, lunging to your hug, his small arms holding on to your arms.

You both let out a huge hooray as Colin stands beside you, his arm on his heart, crying crocodile tears for losing. Cohen notices his dad and immediately ushers you to let go of him, then immediately latches on to his daddy's leg, his free arm patting Colin's thighs in comfort. Once again, your baby looks up to Colin, now with flushed cheeks, adoring his sympathetic baby.

Colin with kids hits so differently, but it's definitely a sweeter picture when he's with your son.

Warnings: Fluff, dad!Colin, cute stuff. Idk, there’s no real warnings. It’s fluffy and it’s Colin.

~*~

As the rain pattered quietly down, blanketing the world in a graceful sort of serenity, I emerged from the bedroom I shared with Colin. The whole house was quiet - at rest for once - all signs of the chaotic life we shared together still and calm. My sock-covered feet moved soundlessly as I went to fetch a glass of water, but as soon as I reached the doorway to the den, I was met by the warm glow of an incandescent bulb.

Colin must still be awake. I smiled softly at the thought of my husband falling asleep in the armchair he so often occupied. The poor man worked so hard and took so little time for himself. As my silent steps rounded the edge of the armchair, however, I noticed Colin hadn’t fallen asleep alone.

Instead of a mound of papers in his lap, there was a small bundle all wrapped in a soft yellow cloth. Colin’s arms were wrapped protectively around our blanket-swaddled daughter, making sure she was secure even in his own comatose state. Even now at eight months old, she still looked so small in his strong arms. A small smile stretched across my lips at the sight of them.

Colin had been so afraid that he’d be a bad dad, but he’d had no reason to worry on that front. From the day we’d brought our daughter home from the hospital, he’d been exemplary. He’d read so many books about parenting and had asked advice from his mother, so pretty much every situation that arose was something Colin was prepared to handle. Each time he looked at her, his eyes sparkled with joy.

“She’s so little,” he’d murmured in wonder as he let her grab at his finger with her tiny hands. “Don’t worry, little one. Daddy will always protect you and mommy. You’re safe.”

As I watched the two of them quietly sleeping in the armchair as the rain drizzled quietly down, I couldn’t help but think of those quiet moments between father and daughter. His combat-ready hands cradled his baby girl so softly, wanting nothing more than to protect the little life that we’d created. I didn’t want to disturb either of them, so I got a soft blanket from the side and draped it around Colin and the tiny bundle in his arms to keep them warm. He stirred momentarily with a murmur of our daughter’s name, sending a wave of mushy feelings surging through my heart.

Colin worked so hard to be a good father. He was so dedicated to her future and to making sure she was alright. How could I do anything less than love him with my entire being? I made sure he was covered securely with the blanket and that our daughter was supported safely, then placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

The last time I’d tried to get Colin out of this position, he’d looked so distraught about having to let go of his daughter that my heart almost shattered. So, this time I snapped a quick picture of the two of them so he could see it later, and I left him to sleep. In the morning, I knew Colin would be happy to wake up to his daughter’s sweet little smile. He wasn’t just a good detective - he was a great dad, and it was moments like this that proved just how amazing he was.
