"Little boy get back here right now!"

Wren ran further down the hallway.

'I'll only be out for 5 minutes' Ricky said, 'Wren will go down for a nap easy' he said.

"Papa can't catch me! No nap!"

He turned back to me and stuck out his tongue. I growled and he giggled, running once again. Wren had fled from the nursery wearing only his diaper, after deciding he didn't want a nap.

Just before Louis left he gave Wren a little incentive to start acting out more. Wren thought it was very fun, especially because I couldn't do much back. Strict orders from Ricky to not agitate my foot in any way, that really just meant lying on either the couch or the bed while Wren ran circles around me.

Usually Ricky would nip Wren's little antics in the bud and my bubba would apologise, just wanting attention and cuddles (which I always happily gave)

But ricky wasnt here to stop Wren. Luckily the extended rest times from Ricky meant I could mainly deal with him myself.

Using the wall as my support, I followed slowly in pursuit.

I limped into the living room, immediately spotting the feet speaking out of the bottom of the curtains. I stood in front of him with my arms crossed.

"Wren come out now"

The feet were pulled back in under the curtains.

"Bubba I'll forget all about this if you come here. You need to have a nap one way or another"

A drawn out whine came from within the curtains

"Bubba I will give you till the count of 3 to get your butt out here or you're going in time out"

...no response

"1..

Nothing

"2"

I could Wren huffing and a tiny stomp.

I waited a moment longer

"Last chance..."

I sighed as he didn't come out from behind the curtain.

"3"

I pulled back the curtain. We stared at each other for a millisecond before Wren tried to take off again but I caught him and hoisted him up.

"Dont make this worse Wren"

Wren whined and tried to get outta my grip. He squirmed and rolled around in my arms but I held him tight.

With Wren's arm and head over my shoulder, he began hitting my back. Before he could start kicking I landed a small slap on his thigh. He went rigid.

"You do not hit Papa, wren do you hear me?"

Wren figited as I brought him to the nursery, making little huffy sounds. I rubbed his back, thinking he was calming down.

"Aww is bubba a bit cranky cause hes missing his nap"

Apparently the wrong choice of words as Wren immediately started screeching

"No wan nap! No need nap!"

"Wren yelling is just making your time out time longer so I suggest you stop"

I lowered wren towards the stool in the corner of the room. I have no idea what Wren thought would happen when he started hitting me again. They didn't hurt but his tiny punches and kicks were the last straw

"Alright Wren!-"

I picked him back up and took him to the arm chair, sitting him down in my lap.

"I have just about had it with your new attitude Wren. It is unacceptable, I gave you plenty of chances to stop and you didn't-"

Wren was squirming around in my lap, not even listening to me. I growled at the back of throat, suppressing my anger. Punishing while angry is never a good idea.

I put my hand under Wrens chin and pushed it up so he was looking at me. My voice went deeper

"Listening to me when I am talking Wren, you are being very bad right now."

I took my hand away from his chin but he kept his head where I put it.

"You refused your nap, you ran away from the nursery and hid behind the curtains, you yelled at me, you hit me, you kicked me, you threw a tantrum. I gave you plenty of opportunities to stop but you ignored me"

I saw a flash of guilt in Wren's eyes

"Wren this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated, I'm giving you 15 spanks wren and you're going in time out afterwards"

Wren already started to tear no

"Pees Papa no spankies. I sowwy!"

"Shh shhshh honey"

I pulled him over my lap and started crying into my trouser leg. I rubbed his diapered butt and landed the first smack. I didn't go too hard as Wren was obviously remorseful.

I continued the spanking and Wren continued to cry into my leg. At ten Wren started repeating that he was sorry. I delivered the rest quickly, immediately taking Wren up in my arms.

I kissed his tear stained cheek.

"You took that so well bubba, I'm so proud of you"

I calmed him down by rubbing his back and whispering how good he is. As soon as he was calm enough, I brought him back to the corner.

"You're still getting a time out wren"

Wren just sniffled as I placed him down. He winced when his butt hit the stool. I quickly put a pair of gloves over his hands and turned him around.

"Face this wall till I come get you hon, not a peep"

I stood outside the nursery door just staring at my watch and waiting for 5 minutes to be up. It would've been more but hes already been spanked.

As soon as wrens time was up I was back in behind him.

"Princess you can turn around now"

Wren awkwardly shuffled around, trying not to brush against his already sore bum.

He held out his hands, tears brimming at his eyes. I picked my crying baby up and carried him back to the armchair, this time just for comfort.

With all this movement my ankle and foot were growing quite painful. I tried to ignore it as I ran my fingers through wrens hair.

"Wren why were you punished"

"Cebause I- I-"

"Take your time little one"

"I no wan-ned nap an I hide an I no come ou' an I d-do weawwy bad suff"

Wren struggled to speak, he was on the brink of bursting into tears again and I didnt want that.

"Have your learned your lesson?"

Wren nodded.

"I a bad boy, Wrenny bad!"

"You're not a bad boy Wren, you're my good little boy-"

"Dats what Daddy said whens I gots time ou' before buh I bad, no good boy"

"Well Daddy is right, you are a good boy, you're my good little princess. But sometimes little boys need some help to know that they're being bad cause they dont realise. They need help from their daddies to know what they're doing is not ok. And that's ok"

"Buh I wanna be good for chu an Daddy buh i forgets sometimes"

"And we'll be there to remind you-"

Wren put his head on my chest and sobbed. I rubbed his back

"Wren we dont expect you to be good all the time, why do you think the rules are there? Also, you have been very good for me and Daddy, you've been an angel. I love you bubba"

"Wuv chu oo Papa"

Wren threw his arms around my neck and nearly choked me. I hugged him back and kissed his forehead.

"Now how about that nap?"

Wren yawned, blushed and nodded, hiding back away in my neck and I stood once again. Pain shot through my leg. I gritted my teeth and ignored it.

Dressing wren quickly in a yellow onesie covered in bunnies with a random pacifier, I layed him in the crib with his 3 teddies.

I stroked the drowsy boy's cheek and whispered sweet nothings to him until I could hear tiny snores.

Never again am I letting Ricky leave just before nap time.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

I got home just before the end of nap time and was met with David practically collapsed on the couch.

He sat up upon hearing me enter. He pointed a finger accusingly at me.

"You, where the hell have you been"

I closed the front door with my leg and put my bags down.

"I got caught up at the shops, poor girl working the till got yelled at by her crotchety old manager- are you ok?"

David sat hunched over pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I-"

David sighed

"I'm fine, I've got a headache coming on and my ankles acting back up"

"Oh I'm sorry hun lemme grab you some pain killers, you get into bed and I'll take over as main Daddy"

David nodded to me and left, I grabbed the pills and a glass of water from the kitchen and followed him.

David was sat up in bed, rubbing his temples. I gave him the pain killers and water which he gratefully took. I sat on the edge of the bed.

"Why'd your leg get all janky again, did it just happen or-"

"Probably from chasing Wren"

"Might I ask why you were chasing Wren?"

I asked, a little concerned

David put down his glass.

"Wren didn't want to take a nap and threw a tantrum"

"Oh god"

"Yeah.. I spanked him"

I frowned at him and he defended himself.

"Hey, he was deserving-"

David recounted the events of wrens outburst. I just sat in silent shock as David told me the whole story.

"-so yeah, he went down in the end. But my foot hurts like a bitch"

He pulled back the blanket, showing his injured leg. I could tell through the socks it had swollen up a big.

"Ok you're staying in bed. Can't have you limping at our Angel Pie's birthday party"

"Ah yes, what an angel"

As if on cue, we heard a little tired cry from the nursery.

"Pap-ahhhhh"

I chuckled and pat David's good leg.

"I'll bring him in later to apologise again, you rest"

As I walked out David called out to me

"Good luck baby"

"You underestimate me darling"

Wren was overjoyed to see me, you'd swear I'd been gone for days not an hour.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

He was on his tippy toes making grabby hands over the crib railing.

"Heya baby bear"

I took Wren out of the crib and swung him around. His wet diaper squished under my arm, he didnt even notice.

I carried him over to the changing table.

"Was my little baby good for papa when I was gone?"

I took off his mittens and he started sucking his fingers. He slurred his words around the fingers.

"Guuud Da-deeee"

Wren smiled at me and I nearly forgot about the earlier tantrum. Sadly I didnt forget.

"You sure about that baby?"

Wren's smile dropped as well as the fingers from his mouth. He looked down in shame and fiddled with his fingers.

"Baby?"

Wrens lip quivered and I rubbed his arm.

"Its ok honey, what happened?"

"Me bad and Papa punish me"

"Oh baby"

I gave him a hug and rubbed his back

"Papa told me all about your little tantrum and I know you've learnt your lesson but what's our special rule we agreed on?"

Wren hid his face in his hands, seeming to remember the special rule. I pulled the hands away and held them. Giving him the eye to start taking.

"Bes behavurr wif Papa cuz he is hurty"

"Uh huh little bug, and you have been messing with Papa all week, I know it was just a joke before and you apologised but this was too far. You're going to apologise to Papa later when he feels up to it and no bedtime stories until I say so.

Wrens jaw hung open.

"B-b-b-b-buh buh we neawy at da end"

True we were nearing the end of alice in wonderland.

"Sorry baby, but my decision is final. Now I'm sure that wet diapey isnt too comfy little bug"

Wren blushed and hid his face while I layed back and changed him. I gave him an little princess pacifier and he focused on sucking.

A while later after me and Wren eaten a snack and coloured Papa a lovely picture, I heard stirring from my bedroom.

"Baby bear, I think Papas awake. Come on lets go-"

Wren took my hand, the other clutching his drawing.

I cracked our bedroom door open and pushed Wren inside, with me right behind him. David lay in the dark, not fully realising who was in the room.

With a little pat on wrens buttt for encouragement, wren took a running leap and awkwardly scrambled onto the bed.

I suppressed my laughter. Wren sat next to David, who at this point was just pretending to be asleep. When Wren sat beside his head, poking his cheek, he pretended to wake up. Doing an over the top yawn and stretch.

"Well what's my bubba doing in my bed?"

"I made chu dwawing! I'm sowwy I been bad"

Wren shoved his drawing in David's face, glitter sputtering all over the place. David was gonna kill me later for letting Wren touch glitter.

"I forgive you bubba, it's ok but this...

It's incredible princess-"

The drawing was of our family, 2 lanky stick figures and one little baby plus a giant pink glitter heart. 'I'm sorry Papa' was also written next to it, by me, per wrens instructions. As well as a little from and Wren signature.

"-this should be going in a museum but I know some place better, so i can look at it every day"

"Where papa?"

"The fridge my boy. Servant!"

I supposed that was directed at me.

"Yes honey?"

David held out the drawing

"Put this masterpiece on the fridge will you please, and bring me my phone. My little princess and I have some things to watch"

I laughed as Wren nodded deadly serious.

"Of course darling dearest-"

I kisses David's forehead

"Anything for yous"
