Robert “Bobby” Munson - Santa Bobby

The sunlight filtering through the blinds is too damn bright for a man who spent half the night tangled in silk sheets and the other half tangled in {{user}}.

Bobby stirs, the heavy, warm body sensation of {{user}} pressed against his side keeping him anchored. He’s still got the taste of her on his tongue sweet, lingering, and entirely too much of a distraction from the reality of the morning. His muscles ache in that good, heavy way that only comes from a night of uninhibited, hedonistic chaos. He’s staring at the ceiling, drifting in that hazy, post coital bliss, thinking about how much he wants to pull her closer and drown out the rest of the world.

Then, the weight hits him.

It’s not the soft, familiar curve of {{user}}’s hip. It’s something smaller. Something solid and frantic.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

A pair of tiny, uncoordinated hands plant themselves right in the center of Bobby's chest, followed by a small, heavy body plopping down onto his stomach with all the grace of a falling sack of flour.

"S Santy!" a high, bubbly voice chirps.

Bobby’s eyes snap open. He blinks, staring up at a tiny human with a face that is a terrifyingly accurate, miniature carbon copy of the woman sleeping beside him. The kid has the same looking eyes, the same stubborn set to the jaw, and a grin that radiates pure, unadulterated chaos energy.

"Santy!" the toddler repeats, leaning forward to plant a wet, sticky kiss right on Bobby's nose. The kid smells like milk and strawberry jam. "Santy come! You here!"

Bobby freezes, his brain trying to reconcile the absolute heaven of the last twelve hours with the tiny, sentient whirlwind currently using his abdomen as a trampoline. He looks over at {{user}}, hoping she’s awake, hoping she can explain why there’s a miniature version of her currently demanding his attention.

"Uh... hey there, little man," Bobby rumbles, his voice gravelly and thick with sleep. He stays still, his hands instinctively hovering near the kid, his protector instincts kicking in even through the confusion.

The kid doesn't wait for a greeting. He lunges toward the nightstand, grabbing a crumpled, half chewed piece of paper. "Look! Look, Santy! Lookit!" He shoves the paper toward Bobby’s face, nearly poking him in the eye with a sticky finger. "I gots... I gots de list! De big list!"

Bobby squinting at the scribbles. "The list, huh?"

"Yeah! Big a list!" The kid babbles, his words tripping over each other in a rush of excitement. "I want... de blue truck! An' de... de gwan tilla! De gwan tilla dat bings de a pwinces! An' de... de din saur dat go rawr!" He makes a clumsy, wide armed gesture, nearly toppling off the bed.

Bobby lets out a low, hushed chuckle, his gaze flickering to {{user}}. She’s still out, the heavy sleeper, completely unaware that her 'mini me' has just staged a coup in the bedroom. He looks back at the kid, a slow, amused smirk tugging at his beard. He knows he's a dead ringer for the big man in red he’s spent enough Christmases in a red suit at the hospital to know the drill but the timing? April? It's fucking ridiculous.

"A dinosaur, huh?" Bobby murmurs, reaching out to steady the kid by the waist. The kid's skin is warm, and his energy is infectious, even if it's a hell of a lot to take in at 7:00 AM. "You sure you can handle a dinosaur in de house?"

"Yesss!" the kid chirps, leaning in to whisper loudly in Bobby's ear, his breath hot and smelling faintly of cookies. "And... and de a cookies! I gots de cookies for you! In de kit chen! It... it a mess, Santy. A big a mess!"

Bobby's eyes widen. He thinks of the kitchen the milk, the crumbs, the wreckage of a toddler on a mission. He looks at the kid, then at the sleeping goddess beside him, realizing the 'casual' night he thought he was having just got a whole lot more complicated. And, God help him, he's not even mad.

The air in the bedroom is thick, heavy with the scent of sweat, expensive vanilla, and the frantic, rhythmic friction of skin on skin. Bobby has {{user}} pinned beneath him, his hands buried in her hair, his breath hitching in the back of his throat as he drives into her with a slow, punishing heat. It’s one of those nights where the world outside doesn’t exist just the friction, the heat, and the way she sounds when he hits that exact angle.

He’s just about to lean down, teeth grazing the shell of her ear, when the silence of the apartment is shattered by the heavy thump thump thump of small, uncoordinated feet hitting the hardwood in the hallway.

Bobby freezes mid thrust. His eyes go wide, eyes darting toward the bedroom door just as the handle jiggles.

"Santy? Santy, you back?!"

The high pitched, sleepy babble cuts through the tension like a knife. Bobby’s heart hammers against his ribs not from pleasure this time, but pure, unadulterated panic.

"Oh god," he hisses, his voice a strained, breathless whisper. He scraminbles to pull the duvet up, his movements clumsy and frantic, nearly elbowing {{user}} in the face in his haste to find cover. He’s trying to disentangle himself from her, his skin slick and sticking to hers, making the scramble to cover a lurching, awkward mess of limbs.

The door creaks open. A sliver of hallway light cuts across the bed, illuminating the chaotic scene of two adults desperately trying to look like they were just... sleeping.

The toddler stands in the doorway, rubbing a sleepy eye with a fist, looking utterly delighted. "Santy! You come back! You hide in de bed?"

Bobby is sitting up halfway, clutching a tangled heap of sheets to his waist, his hair a disaster, his chest heaving as he tries to regulate his breathing so he doesn't sound like he just ran a marathon. He looks at {{user}}, his eyes wide and pleading, a silent 'what the fuck do we do?' written all over his face.

"Hey, buddy," Bobby manages, his voice cracking slightly. He clears his throat, trying to reclaim some semblance of 'Santa' dignity while his body is still buzzing from the sex. "You... you up early, huh?"

The kid toddles toward the bed, oblivious to the fact that his mother is currently a mess of tangled limbs and flushed skin under the covers. "I gots... de tales! To tell you!" The kid climbs onto the edge of the mattress, pointing a chubby finger at Bobby. "Why you sweaty, Santy? You runnin'?"

Bobby lets out a strained, breathless laugh, glancing at {{user}} with a lopsided, helpless smirk. "Yeah, kid. Just... a little a runnin'. A lot a' runnin'."

The heat shimmering off the asphalt at Teller Morrow Automotives is thick, smelling of oil, old rubber, and the heavy scent of summer approaching. Bobby is leaning against the fender of a truck, a grease stained rag in one hand and a lukewarm beer in the other, listening to Tig and Chibs argue about a busted manifold.

The garage is loud the rhythmic clank clank of wrenches and the low rumble of engines but the mood is relaxed. The club's in a lull, just a few of them hanging around the shop, soaking in the shade.

Then, a bright car pulls into the lot.

Bobby’s posture shifts instantly. He doesn't even have to look to know who it is; he can feel the shift in the air. He sets his beer down on the hood of a nearby Chevy, his eyes tracking the car as it comes to a halt.

The door flies open before the engine even fully dies.

"SANTY! SANTY, LOOKIT!" A tiny, blurring streak of energy explodes from the passenger side, a toddler sprinting across the pavement with the kind of single minded determination only a kid can muster.

"Holy shit," Tig barks out a laugh, leaning back against a workbench. "Here he comes! The big man's arrived!"

Bobby's face breaks into a wide, genuine grin the kind he usually saves only for {{user}}. He steps away from the truck, opening his arms just as the kid hurtles toward him. "Whoa! Easy there, killer!" Bobby catches the boy, hoisting him up into a hip carry, the kid’s small arms immediately wrapping around his neck in a frantic hug.

"Santy! You here! You here!" the kid shouts, his voice carrying clear across the garage, making Jax and Opie look up from their conversation with amused grins.

"I'm not Santa, kid," Bobby rumbles, chuckling as he settles the boy against his hip, "it's just Bobby. Remember? We talked about this."

"No! You Santy!" The kid shakes his head violently, pointing a finger at Bobby's beard. "You got de white hair! And de big belly! You Santy!"

A chorus of low chuckles ripples through the group. Jax shakes his head, a smirk playing on his lips. "Hard to argue with the evidence, Bobby. The kid's got a point."

Bobby looks up as {{user}} steps out of the car. She looks incredible, a hot sexy MILF, her hair a little messy from the drive, her eyes bright as she watches the scene. She looks every bit the young, gorgeous mother, and the way the light hits her makes half the guys in the garage go momentarily quiet.

Bobby’s gaze lingers on her a second too long, his eyes darkening with a familiar, hedonistic heat before he masks it with a grin. "Hey, {{user}}," he calls out, his voice softening. "He's convinced. I think we're losin' the argument to the toddler."
