12: She’s hiding behind the sofa

You sat in the armchair placed in the corner of your living
room, your head leaning back and your eyes shut. You were exhausted to say the
least and the giggling coming from the other side of the room left you
wondering how such a tiny human could have so much energy still. You had
volunteered to watch your coworker’s child since you had nothing else to do for
the day and your friend was in desperate need for a sitter. You thought she
would be easy to handle, easy to control and she would tire herself out
quickly.

Boy were you wrong.

Your head snapped up when you heard Ignis’s footsteps make
their way down the hall. He had gotten home only minutes ago and after greeting
you, he headed to the bedroom to change. When he emerged he was out of his work
attired and casually dressed in jeans and a white tee. After smiling at you he
glanced around the room, looking for the toddler.

“She’s hiding behind the sofa,” you sighed, pushing yourself
up and walking over to him, wrapping your arms around him tightly.

“Long day,” he asked.

“The longest,” you mumbled, your head resting on his
shoulder.

“When is she being picked up?”

“In about an hour,” you answered.

“Well,” he said, moving away from you and over towards the
couch, “I think it might be a great time to bake a tray full of chocolate chip
cookies. But I may need someone to test them out.”

At the sound of his suggestion, the little girl popped her
head out from behind the furniture, “I can help,” she spoke excitedly.

“You will,” he smiled, squatting down, “Well that would be
just perfect. How about we go to the kitchen and let Y/N rest for a minute.”

The little one eagerly nodded her head and toddled to the
kitchen. Ignis simply smiled at you, whispering, “I’ll take this last shift. Why
don’t you go shower and join us in a few.”

In that moment you had never felt more love for someone as
you thanked the Gods for sending you such a saving grace.  Quickly pacing over to him you gave him a
hasty kiss, “Thank you Iggy.”

“Of course my love,” he smiled, “Now go take a break. You
deserve it.”
