Pumpkin Baby || Essie&Danny
Danny carrieid Essie up the stairs, his large arms around her middle as he walked, lab coat bunching up on his shoulders since it was a store bought costume and had not been designed for a man who was regularly the shape of a triangle. “That pumpkin makes you so much heavier,” he complained of the large pumpkin she carried in her arms that the two of them had carved. It didn’t help Finn was in the pumpkin with candy Steve had given him in exchange for returning to him in the maze.
“Or rather you make the pumpkin slightly heavier,” he said as he shifted her into one arm and pulling his keys from the lab coat pocket and unlocking the door. Stepping forward and flicking the main rooms light on, kitchen, and lounge exposed all at once, he was finally able to set Essie down, Steve scampering in behind them and going in search of some real food, since he hadn’t eaten junk at the festival like the rest of them.
The clock reading three am Danny was too lazy to be tidy and threw his plastic stethoscope onto the lounge and kicked off his shoes behind the door. “No work tomorrow,” he smiled at her, they’d taken the day off for the carnival and wisely taken off the next too in case this happened. Danny would sleep until noon at least. “I can make you lunch in bed,” Danny grinned.
