Can we please get a bit of Ollie and Kip? We've seen a good number of Ollie-Daddy adventures but if possible I'd also really like to see some of Ollie's moments and attachments with Kip! (My cousin only goes home on weekends because of work and whenever she's home her 3 year old just clings and sticks to her, nuzzling into her neck; I feel like Ollie's that kind of kid too?)
of course <3 anything ollie is an instant win lol
The moment Kip entered the apartment, Ollie basically climbed him like he was a jungle gym.
"Hey, you." Kip pulled him up into his arms with a groan, and Ollie slung his arms and legs around him like a little monkey.
"Hi," Ollie said, his voice muffled by Kip's shoulder, where he had pressed his face into the fabric of Kip's pullover.
Kip held him, closing his eyes for a moment, breathing in his soft scent. It wasn't that delicious baby scent anymore, now that he was a little older, but it was still perfect.
"Where's your dad?" Kip asked eventually.
Ollie mumbled something that sounded like 'puter' which probably meant that Scott was in an online meeting. He preferred to have those while Ollie was at daycare or with the nanny, but sometimes it was unavoidable.
Kip kissed Ollie's cheek, eliciting a little hum, and unceremoniously dropped his work bag to the floor and slipped his shoes off before carrying Ollie to the couch, where he lay down on his back, Ollie sprawled on top of him, still clutching him tightly.
"Did you miss me?" Kip asked, stroking his hair. Ollie nodded. "I missed you, too," Kip added, kissing his head.
He had gone back to work a few weeks ago. Scott's millions of hockey dollars had afforded him a comfortably long maternal leave, and enough time to finish his book, but at some point, being at home so much, the walls had started to close in on Kip. Luckily and via contacts, he had gotten his foot in at NYU.
Ollie was dealing with it better than they had hoped, but he was still his sensitive little self and needed a lot of extra attention to make up for it.
(Which also meant they hadn't had sex in a few weeks because Ollie was literally attached at Kip's hip whenever possible, including squeezing between them in bed at night.)
"Did you have a good day?" Kip traced little hearts across Ollie's back, feeling him relax against him. He nodded. "What did you do with daddy today?"
"I can't hear you, baby," Kip said gently. Ollie finally pulled back. His blond hair stuck out in all directions, and there was a line on his cheek where he had pushed his face into a seam on Kip's pullover.
"Oh, of course," Kip smiled, cupping both of Ollie's cheeks, squishing them a little until Ollie was giggling.
"Oh, with uncle Eric!" Kip repeated, "How many goals did you score on him?"
Ollie grinned, then held up four fingers with two hands. "This many!"
Ollie nodded proudly in reply. "And then daddy let me have hot cocoa."
"After we had a normal, healthy lunch," Scott said from behind them. Kip smiled, craning his neck back over the couch so Scott could kiss him.
"Daddy, come!" Ollie ordered, reaching for Scott. When Scott sat down with them, Ollie squeezed himself between them so he was squished between his parents. When he had found his perfect spot, he let out a content sigh.
Scott watched him with an amused smile. "Is this good, buddy?"
Ollie nodded, then closed his eyes.
Kip saw Scott's eyes soften, his smile going mushy.
He leaned forward to kiss him. "How was your meeting?"
Scott stole another kiss. "Good. They want to do this promo thing in Switzerland for the skiing world cup. I said I would talk to you first."
"As in, they want you to go there?" Kip opened his palm when Ollie reached for his hand, pulling it against his belly, holding on to his fingers.
"Well, yeah, but families are welcome." Scott gave Kip an unsure look. "And they've brought up the whole family angle again."
Kip sighed. Under Armour had been practically begging Scott to do some work with him and Ollie, hoping to promote their kids' line more aggressively. In addition, Kip had accidentally landed himself in more than one fashion magazine, in TMZ and on the celebrity gossip sites (which felt insane, considering his only point of fame was being married to Scott Hunter) for his style, and especially his and Ollie's matching outfits which he had put together as a way to keep himself busy and have some fun while on maternity leave. Kip only thought the whole thing was funny because he knew for a fact Ilya was extremely jealous about it. He didn't take it seriously at all, but apparently, Scott's sponsors did.
Kip sighed. "I don't know..."
"I'll show you the number they gave me later," Scott whispered, making Kip laugh.
Kip laughed, closing his eyes for a moment.
"Also, Eric said they can babysit Thursday night," Scott added idly. A meaningful look passed between them, and Kip felt warmth gather in his stomach.
Ollie's head had shot up at the mention of babysitting, and his mouth was already downturning. Kip quickly leaned forward and kissed his forehead. "Maybe you can play hockey with uncle Eric on Thursday again!" The mention of hockey stopped the frown. Like father, like son. Ollie still let out a little whine, for the principle of it.
"Maybe you'll get in even more goals then," Scott told him, jostling Ollie a little. Kip could see the pride in his eyes.
He sighed dramatically. "Not only am I married to a hockey player, now I'm raising one, too."
"What a dramatic fate, to be swimming in money until the end of your days," Scott teased, leaning in to kiss Kip while Kip laughed against his lips.
