Could I get 7 from the kisses list with uhhhhh CHASE AND HENRIK please???

cw(s) for readers: none!! its fluff :’)

    Chase wished he was waking up to birds chirping with sunlight draping over him. But instead, what he woke up to was his poor four-month-old daughter was crying her heart out.

    He sighed, sitting up in his bed. ‘What time is it?’ He looked at his window for a clue as to what the time was. It had to be early morning at best, as the moon was still up with the stars. ‘Of course, Maxine wanted to be an early bird today,’ He chuckles softly to himself. It wasn’t every day that Maxine woke him up so early. In fact, she slept in a whole lot, just like her dad! Though, he was trying to fix that (purely for her sake.)

    He slung his feet over, feeling the cruel wrath of the cold wooden floor. Shivers snuck up on his skin, making him retract his feet for a moment. He slowly places his foot on the floor, wishing he had socks to protect him. He presses on and swiftly walked across the room to his daughter, where the carpet was able to keep his feet safe.

    This is when Chase begins to panic. Maxine wasn’t in her crib.

    His heart and stomach started to twist with the worst sense of dread. He darts for the window, seeing if maybe he left it open. Much to his surprise, it was shut and locked securely. He immediately turns around to leave the room to further search the house, but he ends up bumping into something- no, someone. Before Chase gets the chance to start thrashing or yelling, they begin to speak.

    "Good morning, Chase.“

    A painful sigh leaves chest as he covers his fast-beating heart. “Good… Good morning, Henrik." 

    Now that Chase calmed down, he was able to recognize Henrik’s… er, silhouette. In his defense, he only lived with him for about a month now and rarely saw him in the house, as he was a doctor. Now that he thought about it, he never saw Henrik in other than his work clothes… Well, up until now, at least. A small babble got his attention, making his eyes dart to who Henrik was cradling in his arms. Maxine!

    He began to connect all the dots and wanted to cry either out of relief or because he began from cracking under the stress that he had to deal with under the last ten minutes.  "Oh, wow- um, did she wake you up?”

    Henrik sighs, starting to bounce Maxine in his arms. “Yes. But that’s alright, don’t worry.” He laughs softly. “It, um… It feels nice, to calm down a baby at ungodly hours of the night again.”

    Chase smiles awkwardly and nods his head. He didn’t know much of Henrik’s life, but he did know that he got custody of his children every other weekend. “Yeah, I…  You kinda scared me there, you know?”

    "I thought you heard me come in?“ He frowns at him slightly. "I suppose my footsteps are quiet…”

    "Oh, um… I didn’t even hear the door open!“ He laughs nervously, and Henrik chuckled along with him. "Not with all that crying, anyway.”

    He nods and looks down at Maxine, then back at him. “I assume you would like to hold the little one?”

    Chase nodded quickly, scooping her from Henrik’s arms, careful not to make her upset and go into another fit. He planted a soft kiss on her temple, freezing up when she started to stir…

    A sigh of relief escapes him and Henrik when Maxine relaxed again, drifting off in what hopefully would be a deep sleep. Right now, a nice long nap seemed like the best thing since sliced bread to the poor man. He carefully drifts over to her crib and sets her down, draping her blankie over her sleeping body. He carefully began to sneak away from her and back where he stood by Henrik.

    "You got it from here?“ His voice came as a gentle whisper.

    "Yeah. I sure hope I do, at least.” Chase sighed doubtfully. “Thank you, by the way. You didn’t-”

    "It’s fine,“ Henrik interjected. "You’re doing amazing considering…  well, your situation.” He rests his hands on Chase’s shoulders. “I barely knew what I was doing when I had my first child! I just think you should be proud of yourself, is what I’m trying to say.”

    Chase couldn’t help but smile at his words. It felt nice being told that, especially after the whole… fiasco, from earlier this month. He mumbled an awkward 'thank you,’ and made sure to make it loud enough for him to hear.

    "I think I’m going back to bed since you seem fine alone,“ Henrik said. "I only got three hours of shut-eye from the last… two? Two, days. Goodnight, Chase.” He planted a small kiss on his head and left, easy as that. He didn’t bother to question him, as he had found himself aching to curl up under his sheets again.
