Father Laff AU (Socksfor1) Volume 1

First Birthday:

(I initially wanted this to be two separate parts, but I feel like combining these two parts just fit with one another.)

"C'mon, you got it lad."

Laff was kneeling beside the couch with his phone in hand as Nadwe was holding himself standing up by holding onto the edge of the couch. He seemed uneasy as he was taking tiny steps as he was slowly making his way towards Laff. He slowly let go of the couch as he stood up on both feet.

Laff smiled softly and kept his phone up "You got it son; you can do it."

Nadwe looked over at him and went to walk towards him as he instantly lost balance and fell. Laff quickly reacted, dropping his phone and catching Nadwe before he fell flat on his face.

Sighing softly out of relief, he looked at Nadwe "Are you alright lad?"

Nadwe giggled and waved his hands up and down.

Laff relaxed and smiled softly, setting Nadwe sitting on the ground as he picked up his phone. He stopped the recording and sighed softly "Well, you're almost there." He looked at his son and smiled softly, "You're making fast progress for your age." He smiled and tapped Nadwe's nose "You're only one and starting to learn how to walk!"

Nadwe squealed and grabbed Laff's hand as his father left out a small laugh.

One year, god Nadwe's already one year old. Of course, this is speculated to be his birthday since Laff had absolutely NO clue when his actual birthday was. But today was roughly a week or so before the day he actually found him, which at that point Meme had stated it was likely Nadwe was only a week old at best during that time.

It still to this day makes Laff sick that he was abandoned at that young of an age. He isn't sure if it was his mother or father or even both had decided to leave him in that alleyway. But it's not like he really cares, nor does he feel like he should care. If his birth parents didn't have any good reason to keep Nadwe other than because they didn't want him, Laff could care less.

As far as he is concerned, Nadwe is his son and no one else's. And he's comfortable with knowing that.

Nadwe gripped on his jacket sleeve and tugged on it, whining softly. He was trying to tell Laff he was hungry. Laff chuckled softly and stood up "Alright, alright, I hear you lad." He started walking to the kitchen as someone knocked on the door, he stopped and walked to the door "As soon as I answer that."

Nadwe frowned and crossed his arms, pouting softly as Laff opened the door.

Outside the door was Wictoria, holding her purse and a small gift bag as she smiled "Laff!"

Laff chuckled and smiled "Hey 'Tori" He invited her inside "I wasn't expecting you to come over so soon." Wictoria smiled softly and set down her purse "I know, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to come early. And how could I not? Since it's whittle Nadwe's birthday!" She smiled brightly and took Nadwe's hands as she started baby talking to him.
