Oliver nodded, curling up in a ball. “I’m gonna take a nap.”

Joshua nodded, setting a blanket over Oliver and kissing his forehead. “Sweet dreams,” he murmured, before lifting Maddie out of the stroller and going into the bathroom.

And Oliver fell asleep.

Oliver nodded, kissing Joshua’s temple.

After a few minutes, they were home. Joshua set Oliver down on the couch. “I’m going to give Maddie a bath,” he said softly.

Oliver nodded, curling up in a ball. “I’m gonna take a nap.”

Oliver smiled and got onto Joshua’s back. “Am I too heavy?” He asked after a moment.

“Not at all,” Joshua said, hooking his arms under Oliver’s knees and managing to push the stroller at the same time. 

Oliver nodded, kissing Joshua’s temple.

Oliver nodded without hesitation.

Joshua carefully stood up and buckled Maddie back into the stroller. Then he stood in front of the bench. “Go for it.”

Oliver smiled and got onto Joshua’s back. “Am I too heavy?” He asked after a moment.

“It’s code for I’m tired,” Oliver whispered back.

“Want me to piggyback you back to the house?” Joshua asked.

Oliver nodded without hesitation.

Oliver curled close to Joshua. “It’s my naptime,” He said, closing his eyes.

“Is that code for don’t move until I wake up?” Joshua asked, raising his eyebrows but resting his head on Oliver’s.

“It’s code for I’m tired,” Oliver whispered back.

“Oops,” Oliver giggled, sitting down next to Joshua and letting Maddie fall onto his lap.

Joshua kissed the top of Maddie’s head, winding an arm around Oliver.

Oliver curled close to Joshua. “It’s my naptime,” He said, closing his eyes.

Oliver laughed, reaching out to poke Joshua’s tongue.

Joshua retracted his tongue. “You’re covered in dirt, Ol.”

“Oops,” Oliver giggled, sitting down next to Joshua and letting Maddie fall onto his lap.

Oliver nodded. “Now she likes me better.”

Joshua stuck his tongue out at Maddie. “Just remember who changed your diapers, missy,” he said.

Oliver laughed, reaching out to poke Joshua’s tongue.

Oliver chuckled, kissing Maddie’s forehead again. “I love you,” He whispered to her, smiling when she kissed his cheek.

“Was this all a ploy to make me look like the bad father?” Joshua asked mock angrily. 

Oliver nodded. “Now she likes me better.”
