Work Text:
Napoleon was definitely the dream husband type. The kind who helped you with housework without being prompted to, was usually good with it and, when he wasn’t, was willing a quick to learn.
When you had left to go shopping, you weren’t expecting for him to finish any work you had left, while also looking after your daughter.
Speaking of them, as you set the shopping bags in the kitchen, you noticed how quiet the house was. It was unusual at this time of the day.
You found them laying on a makeshift bed of blankets and pillows, in a sunny spot in the garden behind the house. Napoleon was lying on his back with the little girl on his chest, one of his arms supporting her. It was such a warm and peaceful scene you could simply stand there and watch them.
And not only there. Watching your husband and daughter bonding was always a heartwarming sight that brought a smile to your face. They were always the sunshine that brought warmth and light into your life.
Kneeling by them, you leaned over to kiss your daughter’s forehead, then give Napoleon a chaste kiss. Your lips pressed to his were actually what muffled a squeal when a hand wrapped around your waist, pulling you into the bedding with them. When you pulled back, Napoleon was smiling at you with half-lidded eyes.
“Welcome home, Nunuche.” He chuckled, kissing you again.
“Since when do you wake up this easily?”
“And who told you I was sleeping yet?”
“So you admit you were planning to sleep?”
“The weather is nice, our princesse is finally asleep, and you were taking a while to come back.”
You accommodated yourself better by his side. His hand moved from your back to caress your hair.
“So you will join us?”
“You were the one who pulled me in.”
You two laugh. Maybe a little too loud because it causes your daughter to stir in her father’s arms.
“Mama?” she called in a whimper.
“I’m here, little princess.” You reach over to hold her little hand, rubbing your thumb over the back until she relaxed and fell back asleep. You and Napoleon shared a silent laugh.
“You look so happy right now.” This time, he kissed your forehead.
“How could I not be with such a wonderful family? I love you two so much.”
“Then that must be why I am so happy, too.”
In the past, the idea of such a sunny family had sounded like a fantasy. Now it was your everyday life. Even when you had your dark cloud days, your love only shone brighter afterward.
You two kissed again, sharing your warmth and happiness, silently vowing to never stop shining on each other’s life and being the sunshine of your daughter’s life.
