Dada?
Dad!Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin x mom!reader!wife
Sum: The worst part was always having to answer the kiddos’ questions about when dada would get home, because the honest answer is - no one knows.

Jake couldn’t sleep, it wasn’t the thunder outside his window or how the rain was pouring down. No, tonight he couldn’t sleep because he was shipping out soon. He couldn’t stop thinking about how he would have to leave his wife or his kids.
And it hurt, every time his kids came and asked when he would get back home. They were finally old enough to understand that dada has to leave once in a while but every time he’ll come back. But when they ask he just says he’ll be back before they know it, when the truth is he didn’t know if he would even come home.
Jake looks over to the clock on his bedside table, 02.36, he let out a silent groan as he looks back at his sleeping wife a soft smile on his face as he listens to her soft breaths. He gets pulled out of his thoughts as the bedroom door opens and a soft voice calls out, “Dada?” Jake sat up and called over his little son. Matthew waddled over clutching his teddy bear.
Next to Jake his wife stirred, as little Matthew was helped up onto the bed. “Hm? What’s going on? Is everyone okay?” She asked hazily, “Dada’s leaving,” Matthew sniffled.
Jake’s heart broke as he held Matthew closer, “I’m not leaving yet, and I promise I’ll come right back. And in the mean while you have your momma, right?”
Matthew sniffled, nodded and hugged Jake tighter.
And while Jake hated seeing his little kid crying, it only makes him more motivated to make sure he comes home in one piece.
