Baby boy being weird again. Today, I apparently spent far too long in the bathroom (I took just over 1 minute). So Patron starved to the point he resorted to licking the floor for crumbs to eat instead.

mlqc | sunday morning
Tumblr media
I recently (well~like three months ago) got into this game called Mr Love: Queen’s Choice, and after doing some ‘research’ aka gaming, I felt confident enough to write something. So, here’s a little headcanon about a blissful Sunday morning with the boys~
Warning(s): ever so slightly NSFW (insinuations of a dirty-minded author), profanity/swearwords
Victor
Tumblr media
Victor’s quite the workaholic, as we all know
like this man will be working 60-70 hours a week, often bringing work home with him 
you’ll be on the couch in pajamas and acting like a total bum while he’s literally next to you wearing glasses and breezing through 50 reports and documents
you steal his laptop and glasses when he starts criticising your report 
“Victor noooooooo~work mode OFF!” as you zoom past him with his prescription glasses (he got them fancy glasses with the blue light filter because he’s A WORKAHOLIC and he’s always staring at a computer)
needless to say, this man doesn’t usually have time to spare
sunday mornings are yours though
Victor doesn’t necessarily take the entire day off, but after a certain dummy’s whining, he has agreed to try and have a lie-in on sundays
he *usually* still wakes up before you, because he functions on like 5 hours of sleep (lemme tell y’all, it’s a curse and a blessing in one) 
Vic’s a total tsundere, but these moments definitely show off his #SoftCEO side
his little lovebug is sleeping peacefully, wearing one of his pyjama shirts (I bless you with the headcanon that Victor sleeps in silk pyjama pants sans shirt because he runs HOT)
actually, you’re drooling a little bit but even though Victor’s going to pretend he’s annoyed, he never is
oOOhh, also canon that this man is the big spoon in sleeping positions. he naturally gravitates towards you and holds you tight because he’s NEEDY
sometimes you’ll sleep facing each other. Victor holds you against his chest and just cradles your body in his like his life depends on it
100% will entangle his long ass legs with yours
strokes your hair and presses kisses on the crown of your head to wake you up in a gentle way (despite his demeanour, he’s actually remarkably gentle y’all see why i call him #SoftCEO?)
as you wake up, he’ll mock your bedhead with this incredibly fond look in his eyes baby boy these words don’t match your actions
you guys actually get up rather soon after, cos you are both busy people...
fun times in the bathroom not like tHAT well actually kinda~ but for legal reasons everything you do is PG, please spare author-nim who’s still ~barely~ underage
you take a shower and belt your favourite song that’s playing from the built-in speaker (did Victor get a built-in speaker because you thought it was cool? yep. did you ask? nope. did he do it anyways? yehep.) while he goes through his simple morning routine
you probably have more steps in your skincare routine, but he uses a serum, cleanser, moisturizer and some eye cream on the daily
has given you permission to do his skincare at night whenever you both have time
to reciprocate, he dries your hair after your shower you guys HAVE listened to the Right Beside You ASMR, right? ...it’s on YT for free because we’re poor, i know
also canon, blowing raspberries on Victor’s bare back while he’s brushing his teeth will make him choke on toothpaste. tested and approved by MC
“Dummy. What on earth are you doing?”
he hangs around and waits for you to get ready if he’s already done, you do the same. time is something Victor knows all too well, so the precious time he has, he wants to spend with you.
you guys DON’T shower together in the morning because really you’re not getting cleaner ahhh author-nim should really stop
afterwards, you get dressed in some relatively casual clothes (i’m talking a dress shirt without a tie or a polo shirt because no way that this man owns actual t-shirts) and have a simple breakfast
he cooks, obviously. 
always makes a balanced, Chinese breakfast (congee or wonton, noodles, tofu pudding, etc.) because he wants you two to start the day well, even on a slow sunday
also, he travels a lot, so he likes eating Chinese food whenever he’s home
ahh...waking up with Victor just sounds like a dream
Lucien
Tumblr media
i’m a bit biased on this bitch because he was my first favourite in the game so this might get long. might not. just,,,we’ll see
Lucien is a bit like Victor, where he doesn’t sleep much and works a lot
On the other hand, his work is...ehem...shadier, so he usually works in his office when he’s at home
you’ll both have your own space to do whatever you need to do
days off for Lucien are rare. he usually powers through until he drops
for someone who constantly reminds you to take care of yourself, he’s mediocre at doing exactly that
after getting to know him better, which wasn’t an easy feat because damn this man has more layers than an onion he’ll also make you cry more bUUT we’re not ready to unpack that suitcase, you start noticing when he needs a day off. often even before he notices
you lock his office door and force him to take the FULL day off at least
he could technically open his office again, but he loves you and he’ll humour your attempts
Lucien wakes up before you. always. you’ve seen him asleep like 3 times in your entire relationship. 
Luci sleeps like 8 hours,,,a week.
he watches you sleep i feel like that makes too much sense for his character. we love a creepy boy. and wholeheartedly feels at rest with your sleeping figure by his side
in his sleep, Lucien lies on his back, holding you by the waist as you sleep on top of him. your leg is often slung around his middle, so you’re enveloping him. he likes the weight of you on top of him; it keeps him grounded and he likes feeling like he’s yours as much as you are his.
on another note, Lucifer—ah whoops—sleeps butt naked. i honestly can’t imagine him wearing clothes in bed. he’s not shy about his body and feels absolutely no need to cover up for his significant other. 
you, however, don’t usually sleep naked. well...nowadays you end up sleeping naked more often than not because alright author-nim’s horrible. can’t help it, he’s a fucking scorpio?
because you guys take a day off, Lucien’s content with waiting and watching until you wake up
he feels you stir on his chest and honestly your drowsy eyes make him swoon
“Already awake, my beautiful butterfly?”
his slightly husky morning voice *really* does things to a person tbh
you guys stay in bed for a good half hour after you wake up, just cuddling and talking, also sneaking in a kiss here and there
you have the same habit of tracing each other’s bodies with your fingertips
his fingers flutter over your waist, you trace his chest or hands with your index again, it’s a very grounding experience to Lucien
when you do get up and head to the bathroom, first thing you do is shower together
he likes washing your hair
bathroom bits might happen, but surprisingly, it’s not a thing that happens a lot so don’t come at me. we’re being wholesome
Lucien’s incredibly intimate and his love language is touch. Yes, he has a way with words but he’s also a really good manipulator
he’s used his words for evil too often and therefore can’t trust words anymore. so he uses physical intimacy as a way to show love.
Lucien has a skincare routine of dermatologically approved products. a double cleanse, serum, essence and moisturizer. he uses anti-age sometimes to prevent later wrinkles.
they’re also one of the reasons why he smells clean and fresh
will tickle you when you’re rinsing your mouth. you’ve sprayed water all over the bathroom mirror before. he loves the reaction. 
if you’re having a day off, you’ll probably just wear sweatpants and a t-shirt or a sweater. Lucien’s closet is relatively plain but clean. he has the best cable-knit sweaters/cardigans though.
your breakfast consists of western things like yogurt or oatmeal. Lucien likes having fruit at the start of the day
the rest of the day is spent relaxing and lounging, walking in the park, biking, reading, drawing, whatever you’d like
maaan...i wish i had more days off
Gavin
Tumblr media
Gavin’s actually a decently laid-back person on weekends
like, sure he has to work a lot, but his job doesn’t necessarily force him to work from home, so you pretty much have his full attention at home but also he can’t bear to not give you his full attention so what are we expecting
the nasty thing about Gavin being a police officer is that sometimes, he gets called up and needs to work at unconventional hours
also, he gets injured. most of his injuries are minor, but that doesn’t stop you from worrying.
but anyways, he’s not a total busy bee when he’s at home, and relaxing isn’t exceptional
sunday mornings are...well...active. Birdcop goes on a run/hits the gym every morning, so he’s awake by 6am. what did y’all think i was going to write
afterwards, he takes a quick shower and joins you in bed again. 
Gavin sleeps in a pair of basketball shorts and a singlet. he’s somewhat shy about sleeping shirtless, and god forbid he sleep naked. but it’s all good and he respects your boundaries. besides, he’s comfortable in his sleep and that’s all that matters.
you spoon in your sleep. sometimes, he’s the big spoon because he likes being able to ‘protect’ you in his sleep. other times, he relishes in the comfort of being the little spoon and feeling you pressed up against his back. 
very important headcanon! you’ve learnt to sleep with the bedroom window open. on workdays, Gavin gets home late and jumps right into the bedroom. it’s become a typical habit for you two, although you used to be grumpy about not being able to sleep with the noises of traffic. 
you’re usually awoken by the sound of the shower and Gavin’s humming it’s canon that he hums now, bitches. also I bet his singing voice is amazing
so it’s less ‘sleeping in’ and more ‘lounging in bed like the lazy bastards you are’ i’m kiDDING
if he’s able to, Gavin might convince you to go on a run with him....but let’s be honest, you rarely agree
Gavin’s a total cuddlebug though, so be prepared to spend the next forty-five minutes in the tightest hug ever (to be fair, you’re not complaining)
he’s completely soft for you and you’ll have to wrestle out of his grip to get to the bathroom
you don’t shower in the morning, so everything’s pretty quick
Gavin doesn’t actually have a good skincare regiment tbh...he’ll slap on some cream and that’s it. probably washes his face in the shower with body wash...AND HIS SKIN STILL LOOKS AMAZING
you like making funny faces in the mirror while brushing your teeth and making Gavin laugh while he’s watching you in the doorway. he loves how you just make his day with the smallest things.
you guys both dress in really casual clothing, like hoodies and shorts/sweatpants/pj pants unless you’re going somewhere
Gavin has them grey sweatpants, if you know what I mean okay I’ll chill, sorry~
you wear his shirts a lot because they’re super big on you and Gavin secretly not-so-secretly thinks you’re adorable in them (a good thing about Gavin is that he’s easy to read; he blushes rather quickly)
“Ahh...it’s just—you look so tiny and cute.” guess he’s not the only one blushing now
i see Gavin as a ‘bun for breakfast’ kind of person. he picks them up at the stall a couple of miles away when he heads home. sometimes he does so running, other times...well he’s not called Birdcop for nothing
you guys have 2 buns each for breakfast because they’re delicious 
lounge time is often spent gaming or cleaning the house (you’re both busy people and Gavin tends to get messy because he just chucks clothes on the floor after a hard workday)
you make the most out of your sunday, hoping Gavin doesn’t get called in
who wouldn’t like being domestic with Gavin?
Kiro
Tumblr media
Kiro, unsurprisingly, has an incredibly busy schedule
one that, similar to Gavin, isn’t really decided by himself
i suppose his situation is a tad bit worse than Birdcop’s, since his workdays don’t even actually end when he gets home. he constantly practices choreos, singing, etc. at home
so, full days off are few and very, very far between
this makes them extra precious
it helps to have a lazy morning once in a while though (in Kiro’s case, lazy sundays are most likely a bi-weekly thing)
you wake up first! Kiro needs his beauty sleep, and damn this boy can knock in 16 hours of sleep if need be
you’ll probably lay in bed for a while and then attempt to get up and ready for the day
until...you feel Kiro’s arm tugging you back
for a skinny, lithe boy, he’s remarkably strong. he pulls you back to bed with the groggiest, cutest sleep-laced voice EVER 
“Mmm, Miss Chips, it’s not time to wake up yet, is it?” 
he snuggles into you and refuses to wake up unless you give him kisses
during the night, Kiro sleeps in actual pyjamas with cute characters on them. when he feels lazy, he’ll probably just slip on a t-shirt and some boxer shorts, but he likes putting in the effort to wear matching couple pyjamas
Kiro cuddles with you 24/7, and sleep makes little difference here. he’s often the little spoon because he does like feeling your presence and your grip on him. he moves around when sleeping, so you might end up out of each other’s embrace, but Kiro subconsciously always touches you in some way or form, like holding hands or intertwining legs. he’s a man with many identities and needs your presence as a reassurance that he’s still the man that you love
he loves to pepper your face with kisses after getting home from rehearsals/concerts, claiming that it gives him energy
you do the same in the morning, anything to hear that sweet giggle of his
he’s deceptively cute though, and innocent morning kisses tend to spiral into...something more let’s just be honest, his stamina is something else entirely i’M SORRY 
morning exercise? check. Hotel? Trivago. non-sponsored~
you guys don’t shower in the morning. Kiro’s used to showering after practice, which is late at night, and you shower in the evenings to help you relax
however, on a rare occasion, you’ll draw a nice bath together and play around with bubbles and scented bath bombs so fun and relaxing
Kiro totally has a 14-step skincare regiment. you don’t get that beautiful baby-smooth skin without some effort.
he has the best ‘mid-range to high-end’ products on the market, and loves sweet and floral scents for his skincare and makeup. you guys try to line up each other’s routines to be able to do them together every morning.
Kiro also has a huge bedhead in the morning! it’s your job to get this sleepyhead styled for a fun day
even Kiro’s casual loungewear is top-notch hip and trendy. he has fun sweatpants with chains, belts, patches, you name it. he likes holding a little fashion show with you, no matter what you two are wearing
old jeans? strut it. thrifted shirt? vogue, honey.
Kiro’s on a strict diet, so usually he has a smoothie and some tofu pudding for breakfast. on occasion, you’ll indulge him in something decadent, like French toast or pancakes. on moments like these, you swear he loves you juuuuuust a little more but don’t tell Savin!
you guys are a relatively active couple, so unless you’re inside gaming or busy working, you’ll spend some time in thrift stores or karaoke bars, arcades, fun fairs,...
just thinking about Kiro brightens my day...
As always, I hope you enjoyed reading this! I’ll try to bring out more content for K-Pop idols, otome characters and anime characters during the holidays. Requests are still open, so don’t be afraid to send a little message in my ask-box!
Love,
R.

Husband’s Birthday
so I did a thing with dad!Connor...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Word count: 2.7k -ish
You shifted from Connor’s embrace as your alarm went off at 7:30am. Looking at the man behind you, you sigh in relief as he remained unconscious through the alarm. You couldn’t have him awake at this moment if you wanted the surprise to work.
 You pressed a soft kiss to his forehead and pulled the covers over his bare chest before slipping out of bed. After freshening up in the toilet, you grab your phone from the nightstand and quietly left the bedroom.
 Thank God Sam and Dylan convinced Connor to go out with them until late last night for his birthday. Connor hesitated to say yes; claiming he wanted to spend the night with you and his girls but you insisted he enjoyed a boys’ night with them.
 It was a Saturday morning and while Connor could be an early riser at certain times, you were sure Sam and Dylan tire him out last night and he would be sleeping until late morning unless you or the twins woke him up.
While he was at work yesterday, you managed to get the balloons delivered to your house and snuck them away in the unused guest room, knowing he wouldn’t step into the room. You also took the time to print out several photos from your phone into polaroid films so you could tie them to the strings of the balloons. It was a little extra, you have to admit, but it is his 30th birthday.
 You started by grabbing the many balloons from the room and shifted it to the kitchen. You arranged them around the dining table and placed the giant three and zero gold balloons right behind the chair where Connor usually sits for dinner.
 Once you were done decorating, you then started on preparing breakfast. You grabbed the pancake mix from the cabinet, a big bowl and a whisk from another cabinet, and eggs, milk and chocolate chips from the fridge. You continued to work on making the pancakes for the next twenty minutes. Once it was ready, you placed the stack on the dining table and moved on to making scrambled eggs and bacon.
 While you were cutting some fruits, you could hear a pair of soft footsteps coming down the stairs and the sound grew louder as your two five-year old daughters entered the kitchen.
 “Good morning, mommy!” Stella and Stacy exclaim as they ran up to you and hugged your waist.
 “Morning, my loves” You chirp as you dropped the knife on the board and turn around as you kneeled down to their heights “Can I have my kisses, please?”
 Both girls giggled in respond, nodding their heads as they each pressed a kiss to your cheek.
 “Look what we made for daddy!” Stacy said excitingly as she held up the handmade birthday card proudly to show you.
 “Do you think he’s going to like it?” Sella asks hopefully.
 “Oh baby, that’s gorgeous!” You gushed “I know for a fact that daddy’s going to love it, bubs. You can put it on the table so he can see it as soon as he sits down, okay?”
 Both girls nodded, turning to head to the table when the twins paused in their steps. Stacy and Stella gasped in awe at the coloured balloons decorated around the table. “Mommy, they’re so pretty!”
 You stood up and grabbed the bowl of fruits from the counter, moving it to the dining table “I think mommy went a little overboard with the decorations” You chuckled.
 Stacy shrugged as she walked over to Connor’s side of the dining table to put the card in place “Yeah but we love daddy”
 Stella nodded in agreement “So it’s okay to be a little extra!” She finished her twin’s sentence.
 You laugh a little, nodding at them “Yes, we love daddy very much, bubs”
 “Now can you go get daddy for me, girls?” You asked “And remember what we talked about?”
 Both girls nodded as Stella pulled her baby blanket from underneath her arm “Blindfold daddy”
 “And bring him down to the kitchen!” Stacy finished.
 “My smart girls” You sigh happily “Alright, off you go, babes!”
 Everything was set up perfectly, just like how you wanted it. You smiled to yourself; you were so excited to see his reaction.
 As the girls went up the stairs to get Connor, you waited until when you could hear their footsteps coming down the stairs again before you placed your phone at the counter at a proper angle so you could record the whole thing.
 Connor was woken up that morning by his little girls jumping on the bed.
 “Daddy!” Stacy and Stella cheered as they continued to jump “Wake up! Wake up! It’s your birthdayyyy!”
 When he opened his eyes and was met by his two precious girls, he broke into a smile. He manages to get a hold of their legs and swiftly pulled them; making them plop down on the bed, giggling.
 “Morning, lovebugs. That’s one way to great your daddy on his birthday, huh?” He teases as they crawled towards him “Can I have my kisses, please?”
 Both nodded, each pressing a kiss to his cheek. It’s become a routine every single morning for the longest time. Every morning when you and Connor would wake the twins up or when the twins woke you up, that’s the first line spoken; can I have my kisses, please?
 Connor frowned when he noticed you weren’t in bed with them, like he hoped you were. Honestly, all he wanted to do was stay in bed with his favourite girls in the world and cuddled the whole day while watching movies on Netflix.
 “Have you seen mommy?” He asks his girls.
 Both girls nodded with a mischievous grin on their faces but didn’t give an exact location so Connor presses “Can you tell me where she is?”
 They then responded by shaking their head. Stella offered him her blue blanket “Put this on, please”
 He raises an eyebrow sceptically but nodded “Daddy’s going to go to the toilet first and then you can put it on for me”
 After putting a shirt on and coming out from the toilet, the girls put the blanket over Connor’s eyes for him and each girl grabbed his hand.
 “Are you going to give me a clue, hon?” Connor asks as they begin to lead him out of the room.
 “No questions, please!” Stacy giggles “But we’re heading downstairs, daddy”
 Carefully, they made their way down the stairs and lead him towards the kitchen. He already knew where they were going, despite being blindfolded; he’s basically memorized all the parts of their house.
 Once they stepped into the kitchen, the girls let go of his hand and ran to your side.
 “Can I take this off now, girls?” Connor whined “I know we’re in our kitchen!”
 “Not yet!” You exclaim as you made your way over to him. You stood behind him and tiptoed to undo the knot of the blanket. Once the blanket came off, you said “Okay open!”
 When Connor opens his eyes, he was blown away by the set up. He blinked a few times in amused as Stella and Stacy ran to him, hugging his thighs tightly “Happy birthday, daddy!”
 You moved from behind him and stood in front of him, smiling at the sight of your husband and two girls.
 “Thank you, lovebugs” He smiled as he bent down to press a kiss to their head. When the twins moved away, he looks at you with full of love and you swear you haven’t seen him smile that big.
 Connor reaches out for your hand and pulls you into his embrace “I can’t believe you did all this” He muttered against your hair.
 “You only deserve the best, baby” You say, pressing a kiss to his neck and wrapped your arms around his waist “Happy birthday, my love”
 “Can we eat now?” The twins interrupted the moment, already sat in their usual seats at the dining table.
 You and Connor laugh, nodding your heads. He went to his chair while you grabbed your phone from the counter and stopped recording the video. Family breakfast went on as usual; Connor telling you of the upcoming projects he was going to work on and the twins telling him all the things they did with you while he was at work.
 “Girls, can you go sit with daddy?” You ask the twins after everyone was done with their meals “Mommy wants to take a photo”
 The twins nodded and raced to Connor’s side as he lifted them up and placed them on his lap. The twins leaned in and pressed a kiss to their daddy’s cheeks as Connor wraps his arms around them and a huge smile was plastered on his face.
 “Aww” You cooed at the various photos you took “I love these”
 “Mommy, we have to take one with you!” Stella whines.
 “Okay! Okay!” You laugh as you walk over to them. You went to stand behind Connor but he shook his head “No, you’re going to sit on my lap as well, babe”
 “Hon, you’ve got both girls on your lap” You reasoned with him “We’re not going to fit in the frame”
 “Stace, can you get off daddy for a bit, baby?” Connor asks the younger twin, who nodded and slipped off his lap.
 Connor reached out for your hand and pulled you down to sit on his lap swiftly, which made you squeal. You picked up Stacy and settled her on your lap. The twins couldn’t stop giggling as you tried to find the right angle so you could fit everyone in the frame.
 “Mommy, daddy, can we watch a movie?” Stacy asked once the photo session was done.
 “Yeah, please?” Stella pouts “It’s been so long since we had a movie time!”
 Connor felt guilty at his daughter’s words. He knew he was the reason why they haven’t sat down together for a movie in a long time since he’s been so busy with his work.
 “Yeah baby, course we can” Connor smiles at his two girls “Go ahead to the living room and pick out a movie, yeah? Daddy needs to help mommy clean up then we’ll join you”
 The girls nodded excitingly as they ran out of the kitchen. You begin to pick up the empty plates from the dining table and brought it over to the sink. Connor noticed there were polaroid films tied to the balloon but he hadn’t had the chance to look at them closely earlier.
 As he walked around the table, looking at each photo; he starts to feel nostalgic. There were so many memories the both of you shared over many years; from being friends, to lovers, to getting married and having the most beautiful girls he could ever asked for. Being together for more than ten years with you and every day he finds himself falling more in love with you, if it’s even possible.
 “You okay?” You ask softly as you appear beside him. He was staring at this particular photo longer than the others and that’s only because it was a picture that Sam took on the day the twins were born. You and Connor each had a girl in your arms and were looking at them with full adoration.
 The day that Stacy and Stella Brashier were born, Connor swore he would do anything to make sure his precious girls were happy, safe and protected always.
 He looks at you and you notice the tears in his eyes. Your expression changed and you worriedly asked “Baby, what’s wrong?”
 “I can’t believe I was blessed enough to meet you” He choked out and smiled softly at you “Baby, I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me; for staying by my side, for loving me, for giving me the most beautiful little girls I could ever ask for”
 Your eyes begin to water too as he pulls you in for a hug. Your arms wrapped around his waist as you press your ears against his chest; hearing the beating of his heart “I chose you from day 1, Connor Brashier and I’ll continue to choose you till death do us part. I love you too, babe”
 “This is the best birthday ever” Connor sighed happily against your hair “Literally, I don’t need anything else. This is all I ever want; to be with you and our adorable little girls”
 “Actually,” You begin as you push him away so you could get a better view of him. You had a cheeky smile on your face as you admitted “I may have gotten you something”
 “Babe” He groaned as he watches you move towards the island and opened one of the drawers “I told you I didn’t want anything. When will you ever listen?”
 “Never” You say in a teasing voice “Because you do the same shit, dofus! Obviously, I have to reciprocate the gesture”
 You pulled out a velvet box and placed it on the marble top, pushing it towards him “Open it”
 He took the box in his hand and opened the box. He gasps at the necklace before him. Attached to the silver chain was a four-leaf clover locket in a shade of green that you knew he would love ever since you laid your eyes on it.
 “Babe, it’s so beautiful” He whispers in awe as his fingers ran across the green leaves “This is the best gift I’ve ever gotten”
 You smile softly and your hands reached over to lift the little knobs on the side of each side in order to open up three of the four leaves; each leaf revealing a picture of you, Stella and Stacy.
 “You always said that you wished that we could be there with you whenever you have to do some filming in different countries because we’re your lucky charm” You started as Connor smiled at the pictures of his favourite girls perfectly fitted in the locket “Whether we’re physically there or not, we’re always going to be with you, baby”
You took a deep breath and shakily reached over the last leaf, where there was an empty picture.
 But not for long.
 “And in about nine months, we’re going to fill this leaf in and it’s going to be an addition to your good luck charm”
 When the words registered in his mind, he quickly looked up at you and he noticed the fresh tears in your eyes “Baby,” He stuttered out “Are we…,”
 He didn’t need to finish his question and you were already nodding with a smile “I found out two weeks ago”
 Connor ran over to you and pulled you into his embrace. A mixture of your sobs echoed through the kitchen as you held each other close.
“We’re having a baby again?” He sniffled as he looked at you for reassurance “This is real? There’s going to be another mini us running around the house?”
 “It’s real, Con” You confirmed, laughing through tears “We’re having a baby, love”
 “Oh my God” He sighed happily “This is the best birthday ever. Oh my God, I’m so in love with you”
 “I love you too, baby” You whispered softly “God, you have no idea how hard it was to keep this away from you just so I can surprise you for your birthday”
 Connor chuckled and presses a kiss to your head “This surprise was so worth the wait, babe”
 A little while later, Connor kneeled down so he was the same level as your stomach. Your lips were trembling as you ran your fingers through his hair, knowing what Connor was going to do. This was a similar position five years ago when you first found out you were pregnant.
 “Hey little bean, daddy’s going to love you so much” He whispered to your stomach “I can’t wait to see you in 9 months, bean. We’re going to give you all our love and keep you safe always. Your big sisters are going to love you. And I just know we’re going to spoil you like crazy, just you wait”
 Yeah, no other birthday was going to top this one for Connor.

Who’s More Likely To
In Honor of One (....er.... nearly four now, whoops) Month(s) of Archie A Little Mama or Daddy - Who’s More Likely To:
I promised an anon that I would do this after forgetting when it was posted by @harryandmeghansussex originally!  So here’s my take:
Have picked his name? Meghan definitely picked Archie.  It’s quirky, but super popular right now, and it’s regal enough without being straight from the standard list of royal baby names.  And she loves the way it sounds in Harry’s British accent.  Harry.... definitely picked Harrison lol.  He basically took one look at his newborn son, his first baby, and in between the tears, blurted out “that is my.... son.... my...... son” and then locked eyes with Meghan and had an epiphany.  Little Archie is Harry’s son and Harry made that very, very clear when naming his firstborn.
Know the difference between his cries first? Meghan.  She’s so in tune with her baby.  Imagine: Meg, taking a bath while Harry spends time with Archie.  Archie starts crying, and Harry does everything under the sun to make him calm down - changes his nappy, warms him a bottle, sings him a lullaby, turns the faucets on, rocks him, literally everything - and nothing is working.  Harry is about to call for backup when Meghan pops her head out of the bathroom, in a towel, and says “love, he needs to burp.”  So Harry burps the baby and in three seconds everything is back to normal.  Mama Meg knows her baby son.  She just knows.  Harry is learning, but Mama Meg just knows.
Really love watching the other one be a parent? I can imagine they gently argue about this on the daily.  They routinely can’t make up their minds as to who gets to give Archie his bath, because they both love watching the other in Mummy/Daddy mode.  They love to engage with their baby but they love equally watching the love of their life engage with their baby.  It’s a struggle - a daily, sweet, wonderful struggle.
Have named all of Archie’s teddies? Oh, definitely Harry.  He’s named Archie’s teddies after his favorite childhood dog, his favorite cartoons, Meghan’s favorite childhood stuffed animals.  He borrows names from George and Charlotte’s toys, too.
Have taken the most pictures? It depends on who gets to hold him more.  My guess is Meghan has more photos because Harry can’t put the baby down long enough to snap a few himself.  Harry’s argument is that Meghan gets Archie all day while he’s at work, so he gets Archie in the evenings and in the early mornings.  If he would split up holding the baby a little more evenly, the photo spread would be more even.  But Harry the Baby Hog can’t and won’t put down his first child, so Meghan takes the pictures.
Have claimed to have seen the first smile but it was probably wind? Meg, absolutely.  She’ll be downstairs with the baby while Harry is in the shower and she’ll yell for him at the top of her lungs... Harry will come flying down the stairs in a towel with shampoo still in his hair to see what’s up and Meghan will be all “Babe!!  Look!!  He’s smiling!!”  Harry would laugh at Meg’s excitement and exchange an all-too-knowing look with his baby boy - smiling, yeah, okay kiddo, Daddy understands.
Have brought things that he can’t even play with yet? Definitely Harry.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Archie has his own polo pony somewhere, even though it’ll be 8 years before he can even learn to ride.  Meghan’s all about getting age-appropriate toys that are good for his physical, mental, and emotional development while Harry comes home from the store with 15 books because he’s plain excited.  Typical Harry.
Have read ahead in the baby book for the next milestones to look for? Neither.  They’re both so satisfied with their little lovebug, they’re focusing on the here and now, rather than looking ahead.  They know these moments are so precious - first smiles, first laughs, first time he holds their hand - that they’d rather focus on what’s happening right in front of them rather than worry about what is to happen in the future.
Be in charge of filling out the baby book? Meghan.  Those things need to be read in the future and Meghan’s handwriting definitely fits the bill.  Harry’s chicken scratch leaves much to be desired.  Plus, Harry would rather cuddle Archie than worry about filling out more paperwork.  So Meghan fills out the baby book, Harry plays with the baby.
Already be thinking about Christmas presents? Can I pick Doria?  I pick Doria.  When she flew over for the christening, she brought two extra bags just filled with things for her first grandchild’s first Christmas.  Meg would roll her eyes - Ma, it’s not for another six months - while Harry would laugh and stash them in a closet until it’s time to wrap them in December.  
Just chat to Archie about anything and anyone that comes to mind? Harry.  When he’s cleaning up the kitchen while Archie bounces in his high chair, while they’re doing tummy time on the floor, during bathtime, while pushing the stroller around the gardens with the dogs... Harry can’t stop talking to his baby.  He read somewhere that babies recognize their parents’ voices even in the womb and now he can’t stop exploring the new little relationship he has developed with this incredibly tiny but oh-so-important person in his life.
Have documented every person’s first meeting with him? I would imagine that they were both so excited the first time each of their friends and family met their little bundle, that they weren’t even thinking of photographs.  They were both relishing in the warmth of the moment, in the inherent pride and joy that takes over when you get to introduce someone you love dearly to a life that you helped to create with the love of your life.  I can’t imagine they’ve taken many photos of these moments at all, actually.
Volunteered to do the night feed just for extra cuddles? Meghan.  She knows Harry is working hard and she loves taking this time to snuggle with her sweet little boy while Daddy gets his rest.  Plus, Harry hasn’t let go of Archie since he came home at 3:00pm, and it’s now 2:00 in the morning, so Meg wants to sneak in some extra cuddling before Harry steals Archie away in the morning before work.  
To hold him for just a few minutes more, which turns into an hour? Meghan.  It’s 3:30 AM and she’s tired to her bones, but Harry has to work in the morning, so she takes the feeding.  Archie’s eaten and had his nappy changed and now he’s dozing off, and Meghan just can’t tear her drooping eyes away from her beautiful baby boy.  Just a few more minutes, she smiles to herself.  Before she knows it, the sun is starting to peak over the horizon.  Archie is unconscious in his mummy’s arms, safe and warm and content, and Meghan simply cannot let him go.  Not just yet.
Have cried because of how happy they are? Both of them.  I can imagine putting Archie to sleep.  Mama feeds the baby and rocks him while Harry sings a lullaby in the nursery.  They put the baby in the bassinet and look down on him while he snores softly.  They look at each other and begin to cry - not sob, but softly cry.  They’re so grateful to their spouse, their partner, for giving half of themselves to the amazing, beautiful, innocent baby asleep in front of their very eyes.  I can imagine it happens quite often.  They’re happy to have each other and they’re happy to have their baby.
Have talked about Archie having a sibling? Henry Charles Albert David has not shut up about having multiple children for the past decade.  That man probably said “I want another one” the second they brought Archie home from the hospital because he loves lovin’ on his pregnant wife.  Meghan, likely, smacked him with a pillow once he said it, but he can’t resist.  He loves talking about his future sons and daughters with Meghan and Archie.  He knows that if Archie was an only child, he’d be happy, blessed, even - but he’s more than excited about the prospect of more little bubs in the future.
