Summary: Logan and Remy are new parents of their adorable son, Daniel. He's almost a year old and Logan forgot where the time went so while overdosing on caffeine he tries to do as much preparations as possible.
... Kind of based off the fact in the most recent episode we found out Logan adores coffee.
I'm kind of reluctant to do these 'unique' ships as there's no fanart for it on Google (although if you tell me about any I'll add it) so maybe I'll just put memes if I can't find fanart?

"Sweetheart can you make me coffee?" Logan shouted to his husband as he spotted him walking past while the usually serious man was mid-bath time with their shared son Daniel. Daniel was the apple of both his fathers' eyes - named after one of Logan's favourite experimenters who delved into intrusive thoughts. Both of Daniel's fathers did an undergraduate in psychology, Logan became a forensic psychologist and Remy a clinical psychologist known for... out of the box treatments. Most involved coffee and Logan had no reason to believe his ideas were wrong.
When Logan finally reached the kitchen he was greeted with a fresh cup of coffee and a kiss. "Was he OK during the night?" Remy chirped, immediately taking their son in his arms and cuddling him as he hadn't been able to yet this morning. He didn't cuddle him in the night either as he wasn't awake.
"I think he was - or at least I didn't wake up to his screams." Logan yawned and injected himself with all the caffeine possible to get ready for the day. His husband made the best coffee in the entire world - that may have been part of the reason he accepted the proposal almost three years ago. Their wedding anniversary will be in half a year. God, just thinking such an amazing day was three years ago made Logan smile more. "This is good babe."
Remy giggled to himself as Daniel did his usual mumbles, babbles and laughter at his father's tickles. "Well, this is good aficionado." He said, pointing at their son and placing him in a high chair ready for his breakfast. "Can you believe this little guy will be a year old tomorrow?"
If this was some kind of TV show Logan would spit out his coffee like a broken fire hydrant - he just paused and swallowed the mouthful instead. "It's his birthday?"
Remy just nodded confused and looked at his husband's shocked face. "Yes..." He said, raising an eyebrow and smirking at his husband's face. "Well, it's tomorrow. Someone's going to be a big boy!" Daniel's cheek was squished as he giggled - trying to say any words but it just sounded like coos and sounds. It would almost be too adorable for Logan to leave the room if he didn't realise he forgot the most important day in his son's life.
Another chug of coffee woke Logan enough to get him to think. "I need to work honey." Logan mumbled and kissed his husband's face before wondering upstairs. There was no way he'd be telling his lover that he lost track of time.
🤖Logan🤖 : I have an emergency.
🐶Patton_cake🐶 : What's wrong kiddo? 🥺
🤖Logan🤖 : I forgot it's Danny's birthday tomorrow.
👿V-Cloud👿 : You only remember when you push that child out of you dw. I had to remind Roman what happened the day after
🌟Princey🌟 : tbf it was 1am!
🤖Logan🤖 : That's beside the point, how do I prepare a birthday for a one year old with less time than I'd prefer?
🐶Patton_cake🐶 : OOH I'LL COME HELP 🥳🎉
🤖Logan🤖 : Aren't elementary schools open on Tuesdays?
🐍Jekyll and Hyde🐍 : No luck persuading them Lo. I already heard them screaming down the stairlift.
Logan was grateful he was still very good friends with his middle school friendship group - even though some were more excitable than others. There was just enough time for Logan to run downstairs and explain to his husband Patton was visiting before said friend burst through the front door with his partner at his side. "Hi Remy! Hi Danny!" Patton gave Remy a wave and Daniel a kiss on the cheek before grabbing Logan's hand (Remus held the other so there was no escape). "Come on loser - we're going shopping!"
The nerd was thrown into the car quickly and driven to the nearest mall. "So... What are Daniel's favourite toys?" Patton chirped as Remus was in charge of parking. Logan raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment.
"His feet." He said simply - but that wasn't a good enough answer for his best friend. Patton gave a disappointed look. "We give him toys but he prefers random things like my ties, random mugs we leave around, my glasses..."
Patton scowled and got out of the car, opening the door for his friend while Remus silently stood by (he was probably very confused why his partner was so set on celebrating the existence of a one year old instead of going to work). The three of them walked into the mall to find anything Daniel might like.

It felt like a few weeks ago Logan was in this mall with his husband, running on only coffee, with the newborn Daniel in the pram in front of them. They were stood in this hallway Logan was standing now after having a less than pleasant encounter with a homophobic boomer about their new family. "Oh I know Danny, it's alright." Remy was speaking quietly once the family were alone, whispering to the crying infant who had yet to form tears. "What do you think he needs Lo?"
Without thought Logan lifted his son out of the open box he was in and held him close to his chest - he calmed immediately. Remy chuckled to himself. "OK Mr Magic, I can see who the favourite father is now." One of Remy's hands lay on Logan's arm, the other helped cradle Daniel and stroke his very limited hair. The two fathers just stared at their son for a few minutes as he sleepily looked around his new environment.
"Where are we Danny-boy?" Logan happily chirped, turning slightly to allow Daniel to see more. "It's big isn't it, hey little guy?"
Remy was laughing again, giving his husband a kiss on the cheek. "Will you keep on speaking to him like he'll respond until he does?" He asked as he nudged Logan's face close enough to kiss. "Because it's absolutely adorable. I'm not complaining." Logan could never complain about his life - especially as he looked Remy in the eyes and reminded himself this was the father of his son. And that he even had a son. As the homophobe rudely said, it shouldn't be possible for two men to have an adorable baby. But they did - and they were never going to stop feeling amazing about that.
"God... Can you imagine us in a few years? Chasing after this little angel?" Logan looked around as he placed Daniel back in the pram. Even at a few weeks old Daniel was starting to kick his little legs in a rhythmic pattern when pleased and he was very vocal with his mumbles. He was going to be a memorable toddler that's for sure.
"And that will be his favourite store in middle school." Remy pointed at the Apple store they were passing as Remy started to push the pram again. "He's going to be begging his dads every day for the new iPhone just like I did with mine."
"At least the Starbucks is next door."

Patton and Remus were running around the toy store like they were kids themselves as Logan calmly walked in. Daniel wasn't old enough to enjoy shopping trips and Logan wasn't that bothered by the activity either - it was Remy who was the shopaholic. None of the toys seemed to figuratively 'scream' Daniel's enjoyment. There were a few baby shirts that made Logan think of his son and smile but the father knew how quick his son was growing so a t-shirt will last a week.
"Logan I neeeeeed to get Danny this cat onesie! What's his size?" Patton was by his best friend's side again freaking out about how small his godson was but how big he was getting in the exact same breath. Logan was glad his friend had such a special bond with his family but at the same time the happy man spoke loudly when excited.
Remus was following his partner with a smaller bag that had a few toys, decorations, and shot glasses in the shape of genitalia that he hopefully got from another shop. It wasn't surprising he bought that though. "Any idea what you're going to get your son?" Logan shook his head. "I have an idea..." Remus smirked, grabbing Logan's hand and dragging him to a nearby clothing store.
The area Remus dragged his friend to was a collection of sunglasses - a present more suited to Remy as he had a couple dozen at home. Remus slowly walked to the corner of the display which made Logan follow him. There were a few smaller pairs in the corner: baby sunglasses. "Really?" Logan laughed, rolling his eyes, but he couldn't take his eyes off of one. Dark blue leading to a silver grey, a stripe of light blue at the ends too. "Remus you're a genius."
Remus had a proud smile after that. "Mind telling Patton that? He called me a dumbo for needing help with times tables."
