Summary: John is comforted by baby Sam


Quiet tears fell from tired eyes as John shuffled Sammy onto his shoulder. The baby was a comforting weight that snuggled right up against his neck.

It had been three months without Mary and sometimes the weight of it all seemed like too much for one man to bear.

A chubby palm landed an uncoordinated rhythm on his shoulder. pat pat “Da da da da da.” A sing-song gurgling and snuffle of warm breath.

John wiped tear-stained eyes against warm baby flannel and smiled. “You don’t say, Sammy.”

pat pat “Da da daa.”

“Yeah, we’ll be okay, Sammy. Thanks, bub.”

Awww that is absolutely adorable! And I can totally see this, the simplicity of it all is heartbreaking. *hugs John

(Tries to reply again. *hits LJ*)

Thank you! I'm so glad it worked for you. I don't usually write drabbles. :D

From: [identity profile] alias_chick.livejournal.com


Lol.. yeah LJ is being stupid for comments

Well, for not doing it often, awesome job man!

I agree with alias_chick, heartbreaking.

John crying quietly and so lonely, hugging baby!Sammy for comfort...heartbreaking. And so realistic, too.
thnaks!

Thank you! I'm so glad it comes across so well. I don't usually do the drabble thing. :D

What a sweet little snippet - back when John could still take the time to be a father for a few minutes here and there....

Incidentally, I am also plugging my own little "flashback"-esque community, "wee_chesters", if you're interested in joining/plugging there.

Thank you! Yeah, well before he was hunting at least. Poor man!

Um, sure. I can make a post with all my wee!chester fic if you like. I don't really want to repost this again, since I already posted in 4 places and it's only a drabble. Out of interest, is your comm different from sn_flashback or weechesterfic in some particular way, because I already joined those ones?

From: [identity profile] gwendolyngrace.livejournal.com


I didn't know about weechesterfic - it's mainly just vanity. It's probably never going to be a power community - just that I couldn't believe no one had taken "wee_chesters". Functionally, it's probably about the same, except that it's not *just* for fic - I welcome anything focused on pre-Stanford, fic, art, meta, etc.

it's one of the disadvantages of a rapidly growing fandom. There's bound to be over-pollenation.

True, true. Thank you. Not judging, just wondering.

I'll try to remember to make a post once LJ decides to stop being a pain the &*%. *hits LJ* What's with the comments?

From: [identity profile] teamane.livejournal.com


No one can resist baby Sammy.
^.^

This is so cute and tender... with so little!
:D

Thank you! I'm glad it worked for you. He is such an adorable baby, even if he is crying in my icon! :)

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thank you! I usually avoid drabbles, so I'm happy this one seems to work for people. :D

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


I really appreciate you taking the time to say it again. Thank you! :D

Baby Sam and John fics always go straight for my heart. They're just so adorable. Great little drabble.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW - this was just so cute, and a little sad♥

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thanks so much for commenting! I don't mind the same comment at all! *big grin* Glad you liked it!

From: [identity profile] mistojen.livejournal.com


omg *wibble* Lizzie! You should always write wee!chester fics, cuz they always make me tear up a little... *hugs* Love this drabble!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thanks, babe! I love writing wee!chester fics, so I'm sure there will be more! :) And seriously I think this 100 words has garnered more comments than most of my long fics. Freaky-cool! :D

Ohhhhwow.... My son does/did that too...

*Sniffles*

*Clings*

*hugs*

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Aww, apparently I did that as a baby too. That's where the idea came from. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
