WHO: Stefan & Rebekah (with Natalia) WHAT: Family time WHERE: Their home WHEN: 1/26, morning RATING: Low STATUS: In progress
Stefan loved the weekends, especially the ones where he didn't have to work. He could just relax with his wife and his daughter, spoil them rotten, and enjoy himself. He was a simple guy and he felt like he had everything he wanted in life, even if he'd been in a state of shock when Rebekah had first broken the news she had gotten pregnant. Since that day, his life had been so incredibly busy, which was why he liked so much when he got to slow down. When it was hectic it was completely worth it though. Just...being a father was as wonderful as he had always dreamed it would be. It wasn't always easy, but he didn't mind the challenge. In return, he had a happy daughter who was as beautiful as his wife.
Pulling himself from bed, Stefan slipped into a pair of pajama pants and a white tank top while he let his wife rest for as long as she needed. He placed a kiss on her blonde head of hair before leaving the room and going into Nat's nursery. There, he found the girl awake, cuddling into her favorite teddy. Her eyes lit up when she saw her father and Stefan grinned at his toddler, reaching over to pick her up, immediately kissing her cheek and causing her to giggle.
"There's daddy's favorite little girl," he told her while he walked out of the room and down to the kitchen to start breakfast. Natalia was very vocal in his hold with Stefan having her perched against his hip while he started coffee and pulled a bottle of milk from the fridge to give to her. He replied to her with nods and smiles, setting her down into her high chair with some Cheerios to keep her occupied while he cooked. He started on blueberry pancakes and bacon and sausage, continuing to glance back at Nat and knowing that Rebekah would soon pull herself out of bed with the smell of food.
