We kinda made hcs about it, buuuuut how would Joseph handle his child that's been staying up wayyyyy passed their bedtime because they want to see their mama/papa and keeps escaping the bed to wait by the front door?
Hi..so I know I was supposed to respond to this months ago but shh.... I'm back from the dead. (For now)
Anyway! This is gonna be short and simple, you guys all know the drill!

Joseph's youngins bedtime!
(For this case, let's say the kid is arouns 2-3.)
"Goodnight sweetheart" Joseph murmured softly as he kissed his baby's forehead and tucked them in.
He left the bedroom, turning on a small night light and leaving the bedroom door ajar.
Joseph is definitely a night owl, so he typically goes to bed around 12 or 1 on non-work days, and 11 when he has work.
He heads to his fridge to crack himself a cold one and unwinds on his couch.
A few minutes pass by. It's peaceful and quiet.
Joseph sighs loudly and pushes himself off the couch, putting his opened beer down on a nearby table as he began to walk towards upstairs and into his child's room-
-When all of a sudden he's greeted by his own kid standing there by the staircase, a plushie in hand.
"Jesus..you scared me bud." He chuckled nervously, but was overall relieved that his kid was alright.
He picked them off the ground, ruffling their hair before walking back upstairs to retuck them.
"You can't be getting up and away like that. You need to stay in bed kiddo."
Like before, he kisses his kid goodnight and tucks them back in, leaving the door slightly ajar again.
He figured maybe his kid didn't want to be so far away from their dad, so Joseph grabbed his beer from downstairs and walked into his bedroom right across their room.
He sat back in his desk chair, finishing off the rest of the bottle while reading some random magazines, newspapers, or catching up on the new SDJ scripts for the show.
As Joseph went to throw out his empty brown bottle, he once again had an uneasy feeling in his stomach.
It was once again too quiet.
He didn't hear any shuffling of bedsheets, or the light snores he could hear from anywhere in the house.
He exited his room, only to find his kid sitting down in front of Joseph's bedroom door.
"You should be in bed, why do you keep getting up silly?"
Like the other two times, he picked them up, kissed them, tucked them in.
But this time he stood by the slightly ajar door.
Not less than 2 minutes later, he sees his toddler waddle out of the room, immediately stopping once they see their father.
"Uh oh is right buddy, c'mon! Back to bed! It's wayy past your bedtime."
Now, usually, if his kid did this, he would stay with them and have his kid sleep with him for the night. (Only if the kid does it more than his usual 3 times.)
And usually after three times, the kid stops and sleeps.
But, if his kid continues to be stubborn and protest
Joseph closes the door and ends up sleeping on the floor in front of the bedroom door so the kid can't come out, but Joseph can make sure his baby isn't getting into any trouble.
