Running out of reasons, but we won&#x27;t let go...

A starry night || Carter and TJ

Carter grinned as he walked with Tj. “What if I really did want to go running? And you are being the distraction for a change?” Carter asked as he squeezed Tj’s hand gently before he leaned over and pressed a kiss to Tj’s neck. “Or maybe I had other intentions with this run.”

"We could always go for a run later. Tomorrow, maybe...not now.” Tj shook his head, smirking when Carter pressed a kiss to his neck. A weak spot of his. When they finally got back to Tj’s place, the blonde unlocked his front door and stepped in with Carter, shutting the door behind them and pulling the other man closer. “Lets go to the bedroom...”

It had been a pretty relaxed morning for Tj. He’d gotten up at about 7am, made himself a coffee and something to eat and had a bit of time to just sit down and watch some TV before his one year old woke up. Emma was a very cuddly baby, especially when she’d just woken up, so Tj had made up a bottle and cuddled her on the couch for a little while. Those moments were precious to Tj. His daughter was his entire world.

He’d already mentioned the beach to Emma the previous night, and once she was a little more awake, and running around the house, Tj was able to get her ready for the day. Tj hadn’t been to the beach in ages so he was excited to go spend the day there with not only his daughter, but Dakota as well. Just the three of them.

“I think mommy’s here, Em---” he closed the cap on the sunscreen after hearing a knock on the door, and carried Emma over to the front door to answer it. As always, Emma’s face quickly lit up with excitement upon seeing her mother. “Hey, come in--- I just gotta grab a few more things before we can leave.” he leaned forward to greet Dakota with a kiss to the cheek and then handed Emma to her so she could greet her too.

Dakota: Yeah, let her sleep, haha.

Dakota: I can clear my schedule for tomorrow? Unless that's too short a notice.

Tj: its for the best.

Tj: no, no. tomorrow actually works out well for me. i'm obviously not working because i'll have em with me so we can definitely do something.

Tj: did you wanna come over at about 9am tomorrow? i'll give em her breakfast and have her ready by then.

It had been one hour and she’d made the firm decision that she was never having kids. Of course, this was something that she waffled on constantly, especially anytime she spent time with Hannah’s kids, and then a little while later she’d changed mind, but once again her mindset was this, after watching Rafe and Reese and trying to get them together for snack time. They were exhausting and they’d spent a dizzying three minutes eating their crackers and apple juice and then back to the jungle jims and swings. She barely even realized that there was someone else nearby until a toy smacked her right in the face.

Momentarily disoriented Remy blinked, thanked the God above her that the thing was soft and squishy and not legos and picked it up. “S”alright–” she replied with a smile, handing the toy over to the protesting little girl. “I can’t say I blame her, I was probably the same way when I was her age. Especially when my dad used the words nap time.”

As the toy was handed back to Emma, Tj quickly reached for the toy to make sure his daughter didn’t throw it again. He bounced her slightly on his knee, trying to calm her down as she screamed to go play again. “Oh I’d love a nap right now--- I used to hate them as a kid, but now I wish I could nap all the damn time.” he paused for a moment to grab Emma’s baby bag and opened it up to take out a small container with some cut up watermelon in it. The one year old stopped crying upon seeing the food and Tj handed her a piece of fruit.

“Food always stops her crying. I’ve always got a snack prepared for situations like this.” the blonde laughed lightly, pressing a kiss to his child’s head. “I’m really sorry about the toy to the head though. I wouldn’t have given her the toy if I thought she’d throw it. She doesn’t usually do that. It surprised even me.” he explained. “Do you have any kids?”

Carter smirked against Tj’s lips as he heard the male speak. “Mhm lead the way.” Carter breathed out as he squeezed Tj’s hand softly, before he pulled away from Tj’s lips fully. He knew it was a bad idea, if they kept this up. For as impatient as Tj was, Carter could be just as bad.

Tj made his way down the path with Carter, heading in the direction of his house, which thankfully, wasn’t too far away. He’d managed to jog down to the park in under two minutes, so it’d take about five minutes to walk. “Y’know, next time you should just come to my place first. Skip the whole running part.” the blonde teased lightly.

karinahhh·:

It was Karina’s lunch, which meant she was spending it at the nearby park, eating whatever she convinced the cooks to make for her between actual customer’s orders and playing on her cellphone. And while she was usually an overly friendly and quite frankly, an evasive person, her lunch hour was the one time throughout the day that Karina wasn’t completely running her mouth. Of course, she knew that was about to change when the man and his child came to join her on the bench.

She gave them a polite smile, hoping this didn’t turn into a big thing. But as the kid continued throwing a fit, Karina pretty much saw the toy coming. Well, not totally, seeing as the plastic horse did end up hitting her. Thankfully it wasn’t heavy enough to cause any real damage. “All good,” she assured the man, not about to get upset over something a little kid was doing. “When I was a kid, whenever I didn’t wanna leave the park, my mama would be all like, fine…just live here. And then she’d get in her car and just leave me. She’s always come back in like ten minutes and by then, I’d be crying to go home ‘cause I thought she abandoned me. Worked like a charm. If you wanna try it, I’ll watch her to make sure no one kidnaps her.”

Tj was surprised by his child’s actions. She’d never thrown a toy before, especially at a stranger, so it had taken a moment to process. He picked up the toy and put it back into the bag he’d brought with him. “Oh god, that sounds traumatizing. I could never do that--- everytime I take my daughter out I’m watching her like a hawk. The thought of just leaving her here makes me feel a little sick.” Tj had always been very protective of his daughter. From the very moment she’d come into this world. He’d never felt a love greater than the love he had for his daughter. Thankfully, Emma had quietened down now and was just cuddling up to Tj, her little face buried into his shoulder after she’d thrown the toy. “Sorry again, really.”

Carter smirked as he stood up, and moved in front of Tj. “I think some people might get offended, if they see us out here.” Carter said as he reached out and gripped the hem of Tj’s shirt and pulled him close. “I like your idea some much better.” Carter breathed out before he leaned down and captured Tj’s lips in a soft kiss.

Tj smirked against Carter’s lips, returning the soft kiss. His hands moved down to Carter’s waist to pull him closer. “Mm...let’s get home.” he mumbled against his lips, breaking away from the kiss and taking his hand. Tj had always been impatient. He knew that if they didn’t stop kissing now, he’d never wanna stop. It was best to get home asap.

Dakota: True. I'm glad you are.

Dakota: Hopefully. I'm glad she's not teething as bad anymore.

Dakota: Jesus Christ, she's so perfect. 🥰

Dakota: Maybe we could do something just the three of us, take her to the beach or something? The beaches should still be warm, I think. I mean, it's Alabama, so.

Tj: Yeah, poor baby girl. Teething is the worst.

Tj: She's seriously the cutest. I wanna cuddle her, but at the same time I need to let her sleep. lmao.

Tj: Yeah, of course. We can do a beach day for sure.

Tj: When are you free to do that?

Carter moved his hand out of Tj’s hand and moved his hand to Tj’s calf and started to massage it slowly., before he moved his hands up Tj’s leg. “I don’t need one, but I can’t just jump you in public now.” Carter said with a laugh as he ran his eyes over Tj. “Clothes off, much more fun.”

"That’s true...” Tj nodded in agreement, easily relaxing with Carter’s touches. “I mean, we could always head back to my place now? Y’know, so we’re out of the public eye. Clothes can come off when we get there.” he suggested with a small smirk, lowering his leg from Carter’s lap and then getting up. “Unless of course you wanna stay out here?”
