He came home to find you fast asleep on the couch,

the puppy you begged him

to buy you curled up next to you on the pillow,

opening his eyes and wagging his tail

excitedly to see that someone was home.

Rolling his eyes at the puppy,

he lifted the blanket,

taking you into his arms as you whined softly,

gripping onto his shirt with your little hand,

burying your head into his chest.

"Let's get you to bed huh?"

He muttered lowly,

carrying you to the bedroom

as you lifted your head,

cute little eyes staring down at the puppy

following you excitedly,

giggling softly.

"He's following us dada"

"He should mind his own business"

He told you playfully,

a grin forming on his lips as he laid you down,

pulling the covers over your little body.

"He's just a puppy daddy"

You smiled at him cutely.

"Can he lay with us?"

An irritated sigh leaving his mouth,

he sucked his teeth in annoyance,

considering it.

"Alright"

He gave in,

a firmness in his tone.

"But only till he gets older hm?

then he sleeps alone"

"Otay daddy"

You nodded in agreement as he took

the puppy from the floor,

pressing it into your little hands.

"Don't get used to it"

He switched off the main lights,

turning on the bedside lamp for you,

just enough so that you wouldn't be scared

to sleep alone whilst he was in his office.

"Get some sleep"

He leaned over your little body,

kissing your forehead roughly.

"I got some shit to do so I'll be in my office.

Don't get out of bed unless ya need to.

I'll be in later"

"Night dada"

You watched with cute little eyes as he left,

leaving the door on ajar

just like you wanted him to,

sighing softly when he disappeared from sight.

Climbing up onto your pillow,

the puppy wagged his tail excitedly,

licking your face and making you giggle,

bringing you out of your thoughts.

"Stop it milo!

Daddy told us to go to sleep.

You're going to get us in trouble!

I'm not sitting on the naughty step

if daddy finds out about this"
