That’s how he thought of it, anyway. Which made it all the more unbelievable to him that she was growing up so quickly and had already learnt to walk and talk to an extent. Yes, he knew he could be a pushover most of the time, especially when it came to their daughter but he was trying to curb that habit. One of the last things he and Conley needed was Radhika to grow up spoiled by getting whatever she wanted. Sachin met those big brown eyes {so much like his}, quite prepared to attempt once more to convince her to behave because goodness! This child could be stubborn!
Sachin in turn knew that tone of Conley’s. He was about to lightly chastise his husband if Radhika cried but there was no need. He simply laughed as he watched the little girl pull away and started off in the wrong direction. “Radhi! You’re going the wrong way.” Then he grinned over at Con. “She gets her stubbornness from you,” he teased fondly. Radhika was not biologically either of theirs but had a few of the mens’ traits. Who could tell if more would be developed later? The man casually glanced down at Levi as they set off again. “Imagine he sleeps through all of his sister’s loud tantrums,’’ he mused. Levi certainly {so far} was the quieter of their two children. ”Mmm?” Conley was busy paying attention to Radhika as she continued her wobbly determined march ahead of them. As they walked, Conley slipped his hand into Sachin’s free hand. It wasn’t often they had the time to spend together like this and when they did, Conley liked to make the most of it. And while he missed having romantic alone time with his husband, he wouldn’t trade one tirade, dirty diaper, or sleepless night for anything. Sachin had made his dream of having a family come true and as it had been a dream he had given up on long ago. "Yes, well, you've certainly taught her how to use those big brown eyes of hers to get what she wants." He smiled at Sachin. "And he? Well, I'm sure he'll be the patient one just like you." although he did wonder what traits Levi might develop as he got older. Perhaps he too would be stubborn and impulsive like his sister. Merlin help them if that was the case.
Up ahead came a big excited squeal and the sound of clumsy running. Clearly Radhika has seen the fairies."Radi, walk…wa-" Her feet were too fast for her body. Or her body was too fast for her feet. Either way she stumbled and fell, bouncing slightly as she landed. She sort of just sat there for a moment trying to figure out what happened. Then she looked at her hands. "Oooo… "-lk." He didn't hurry over to her. Sometimes she picked herself up and toddled off again. Today didn't seem like one of those days. Or was it? He stopped behind her. "We're okay. Right?" He squatted down next to her. "What do we do when we fall mon coeur?" She sniffed. "Pick up me." She rubbed her hands on her tights and then pushed herself up, butt up in the air for a moment as she found her balance. Then she was off again. "That's right. We pick ourselves up…" He watched her go then looked up at Sachin. "And that she gets from you." He straightened up again and followed after their daughter. She had fairies to see after all!
