“Now, what should I do with you?”
Big red eyes look up at the man, a smile on the baby’s lips as her father talks. She begins to make grabby hands towards the man, asking to pull at his hair.
Chase Young chuckles, “You can pull your mothers hair all you want. Mine is off limits, princess.” His daughter giggles despite not understanding a word, still reaching out for her father’s black-green hair.
Just 2 weeks ago, Jack Spicer had given birth to their daughter with red eyes, tan skin, and dark black hair with a streak of white (thanks to Jack). He spent every day with her in his arms. The omega wouldn’t let his daughter leave his sight, which proved to be very difficult on his mental health. Their baby girl, named Daiyu Young, took every bit of energy from her mother and was (honestly) a nightmare to take care of.
Daiyu had the same energetic personality as her mother, she was their little energy vacuum. Poor Jack could barely get a few minutes of rest, but he loves his daughter regardless.
Chase, as the alpha and father, had decided to give his lover some time to recover from the birth and give him a break from their baby. Saying this earned him a mean glare from Jack, but he means it as a joke.
Now the problem was figuring out what to do with a baby.
“Hmm…” One of his warriors, Nayao, makes her way towards them. She’s holding a small tray in her mouth, a pacifier sitting atop of it. Call it extreme but Chase wants to avoid any teeth damage and saliva to his daughter’s stuff. Plus, Daiyu is a princess in his eyes.
The warlord takes the pacifier and pops it in the baby’s mouth, “Perhaps we should get you accustomed to your guards.” He looks at Nayao, she tilts her head in response.
—————
“Spicer might not be happy with me but I think it’s best to start early, don’t you think so?” Chase is talking to himself really, his daughter is too busy trying to fit her foot in her mouth, as all baby’s do.
They’re currently in Daiyu’s playroom laying on a mat, Nayao joining them in hopes the two can get along this early on.
Chase places a hand on top of his warrior’s head, softly petting her as a sign to get closer. Slowly she walks her way next to Daiyu, the baby girl stares at her in awe.
“Everything amazes you, hm?…Daiyu, this is one of my many warriors,” He nods his head at the white tiger, and she's encouraged to rub her head against the girl's side.
His daughter begins a laughing fit, flapping her small hands around and kicking the air, Nayao’s whiskers tickling her face. She is around 10 times the baby’s size after all.
Chase Young smiles at the sight, he’s glad that his warriors are just as protective over Daiyu as her own parents. When she begins to have her own room the cats can easily guard it.
—————
They had spent some time playing together–or well, watching Daiyu attempt to eat every toy around–and now it was time to eat.
Chase sent one of his cats to give Jack some food in bed, they had reported back to him that the omega was still lacking sleep.
No worries, he could easily feed Daiyu. How hard could it be?
…
He spoke too soon, Daiyu isn’t exactly happy being fed via bottle. Seeing as she’s used to being breastfed instead of a bottle, Chase is dealing with a very fussy and hungry baby.
“I suppose you’re as picky as your mother too-ACK!” Instant karma for shit talking her mom, Daiyu got ahold of his hair and started pulling.
Sassy too, Chase thought as he fought against her own daughter. Damn baby strength.
He could sense some of his warriors staring, oh how the mighty have fallen via his own baby daughter. He lets out a sigh, then he hears a familiar laugh behind him.
“It's not so easy taking care of a baby, huh?” Jack leans on the playroom's door frame, still with a prominent baby belly.
Chase softly chuckles and walks toward Jack, “Our princess isn’t too happy about drinking from a baby bottle, do you mind if…?”
“Of course not, I’ve been feeding her all the time. C’mere baby” He coos, opening his arms to carry Daiyu. She immediately reaches out to Jack, still wailing.
And just as quickly did she latch on to her mother, loud cries quieting down. The baby girl is now calm in Jack’s arms and warmth, no longer starving.
“You know, she resembles you quite a lot,” Chase leans down to kiss his daughter’s forehead, brushing the small amount of hair away.
“Well she did come out of me so I’d hope at least our first one would” He smirks at his husband before giving each other a quick kiss, careful not to squish Daiyu.
“Already implying on having a second pup?”
“Oh, be quiet, you can’t even handle one!” Jack sticks his tongue out at Chase, earning a soft smile from the other.
“Actually I did rather well today. She was very giggly, though, trying to eat just about everything” The taller one walks to stand behind Jack, wraps his arms around his waist, and rests his chin on his shoulder.
“I’m sure she loved hanging out with dad for today, didn’t you princess?” Spicer coos at his daughter, watching as she starts to get sleepy.
The omega turns to face Chase, “I love you…”
His smile gets bigger, “I love you both”
