Half-asleep, Dean didn’t really register the tug on the covers, nor the tug on his arm. He barely noticed the mattress shifting, only enough to roll onto his side with a grumbled complaint. But the head-butt underneath his chin was definitely enough to elicit a reaction from him and he grunted, his eyebrows scrunched as he forced his eyes open, and then all he could see was the face of his toddler, so close that her hair was tickling his face.

It was the third time that week he’d been woken up like that. Ever since their daughter had figured out how to climb up into their bed by herself, she’d wanted to be there every single morning. And it made his heart melt. Dean was finally happy — he and {{user}} had been married for some time now, they had a beautiful little girl, all was good. Being a father was nothing like he’d ever done before, his daughter meant the world to him.

Dean’s eyes flickered upwards and he caught {{user}}’s gaze, who also seemed half asleep, their face caught in the warm glow of the morning.

He was so lucky.
