blurb of austin being an amazing husband and dad to actress!reader and little Presley🫶

Warnings: I couldn’t resist naming their daughter Presley for obvious reasons, but of course you can change it if you want, reader is very exhausted, unedited again I know I’m horrible🫣 other than that it’s fluff to the max and it makes me want to cry❤️

you had been in your’s and Austin’s shared office for most of the day preparing for an upcoming role in one of the biggest films you’ve had the honour of working on. The only time you had spent outside of dim lit room was in the morning when you and Austin had made breakfast for your four year old daughter. He and Presley had been left to fend for themselves for the past week while you worked tirelessly on your preparation.

You gazed exhaustedly at the wall clock on the opposite side of the room from where you were hunched over on the small couch, book in hand. Your brained was officially fried. The words on the pages began to float around and you had to re-read a sentence at least five times to process the information. Not to mention the soreness in your neck and back from the uncomfortable position you had acquired about two hours ago.

You attempted to blink the tiredness from your eyes, but you couldn’t shake the utter exhaustion that had settled in your body and mind. So, like any person who isn’t completely insane, you decided to take a break. You knew that this break could possibly end with you passed out in your king sized bed, but you frankly didn’t give a shit.

You sat up from your awkward position and stretched, all of your bones cracking in unison. As you began to make your way to the door of your office a soft melody floated into the room. You made your way quietly down the dark hallway that lead to your spacious living room. Just as you thought, at the grand piano sat your husband with your baby girl on his lap. You wouldn’t be able to tell that Presley was there if it wasn’t for the little pieces of blonde hair that stuck up above the piano.

You leant your stiff shoulder against the wall so you could observe the precious moment without disturbing.

Austin began to play, effortlessly hitting every note correctly. You noticed the song as Unchained Melody, one of Austin’s favourite Elvis tunes and one he would sing to your daughter quite often. The bond between Austin and Presley was everything you had hoped for. Austin was an absolutely incredible dad and always made the effort to be with Presley whenever he could. You were beyond grateful for such an amazing husband.

Once Austin was about halfway through the song, you slowly made your way over to the piano. He didn’t to notice you as he was too immersed in the song until your arms tenderly wrapped around his shoulders. Your head heavily rested on top of his as you continued to listen to his beautiful voice.

After another minute, Austin’s fingers stopped moving along the keys and moved up to softly rub your arms.

“you okay, honey?” he whispered, the rasp of his voice causing your heart to skip a beat.

“mhm,” you hummed in response, “just tired.”

Austin nodded and let go of your arms after moving them off of his shoulders so he could rise from the bench with a sleeping Presley in his arms. You giggled softly and Austin smiled.

“she fell asleep half way through the song.” Austin laughed quietly, trying his hardest not to wake her up. He began slowly walking towards the stairs and up to Presley’s room, beckoning you to follow him.

Once your daughter was tucked in her bed, Austin turned to you and engulfed you in a warm hug. Your head heavily leant against his chest where his heart was as you sighed. You were finally beginning to relax.

Austin kissed the top of your head tenderly as he said, “I think you need a break tomorrow.”

A grin slipped across your lips as you looked up at him. His bright blue eyes shone beautifully under the light of Presley’s lamp.

“yeah, I think so too.” You simply responded before lifting onto your toes, delicately grabbing his face in both your hands and laying a gentle kiss on his lips.

You could feel him smiling against yours as you pulled away and gazed amorously into his eyes.

“but only under one condition.” You smirked.

A soft laugh left his mouth, his mind wandering to places they probably shouldn’t have while standing in your daughter’s bedroom.

“and what would that be?” He questioned, genuinely curious as to what you were thinking.

“you have to sing unchained melody for me again” you stated more than asked, already knowing that Austin would do anything for you.

“of course, sweetheart.” and he sealed the deal with another kiss.

one my favorite baz-isms is him talking about when he was at the graceland mansion with the cast earlier in the day before the memphis premiere austin stopped at the staircase and was like "i broke up with my wife on these stairs" and baz said "austin it's acting, okay??"

btw Jamie definitely loves it when you play with his hair. one day you guys were lounging around on the couch watching a movie, his head on your chest and you just started combing your fingers through his hair and he just MELTED. Like once you start massaging this man’s scalp he is like putty in your hands. He also frequently falls asleep as you do this. One second he’s completely alert and the next he’s in and out of consciousness. And once you stop he’ll lift his head at the speed of light and glare at you. “why’d you stop? Keep going love, please?” Which causes you to laugh as he places his head back on your chest so you can continue<3
