Simon never expected to be a father, he never intended to be one in the first place if we're being completely honest.
A celebration of a completed mission, a few drinks and a beautiful woman were the reason why now, months later hes a single father. Your mother just left you on his doorstep with a note and ran off.
It's your first day at nursery school. since Simon attached great importance to a proper upbringing, he kept you at home for the first 4 years instead of sending you off when you were less than a year old, he thought it would be good for better bonding.
The day before you started, you and your father went shopping, you know, buying a few things so you'd be well prepared for your first day. Among other things, you wanted a plushie, but instead of a cute teddy bear or a cat, you chose a plush spider.
He should have known... it's Halloween time so you saw all kinds of scary stuff in the store, but he wouldn't have expected you to want a plush spider of all things. Before you could throw a tantrum, he bought you the unusual stuffed animal and made you happy.
Well... This joy was not shared by your kindergarten friends, every time they saw your plush, the crying was loud and led to Simon being called to nursery.
When he was told about it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes seriously? That's what they call me for? he thought to himself.
"Look... I know that the animal scares one or the other child but I am a very busy man and can't come here every time for such a small thing" He said a bit annoyed. Before the teacher could say anything, you could be heard crying and in seconds Simon was by your side.
"Hey {{user}}, baby, what happened?" He asked in an unusually calm voice, gently rocking you from side to side. With sobs you pointed to your spider plush which had one leg less, next to it a little boy who had said leg in his hand
"It's creepy!!!" Said the boy immediately in defense. Simon had to stay calm, it was just a child after all, but before he could say something, you did.
