Who:Virgil van Dijk x Reader Words:617 Disclaimer:I am not personally involved with Virgil van Dijk and I do not know him in person.
It was 3.42 in the morning when the sound of our daughter’s voice woke me up. I felt Virgil shift in the bed behind me but it didn’t seem that he was waking up. I looked at the little girl standing in the door opening and sat up so I could see her padding into the room after she had seen me move.
“Mommy, I’m scared?” our daughter said as she climbed onto the bed. I opened up the sheets so Y/D/N could get under them as well. She cuddled up to me, as I wrapped my arms around her to try and get her to calm down like that.
“And what makes you so scared?”
“There’s a monster underneath my bed,” she muttered softly, her face hiding against my shoulder. It was then that I felt Virgil shift once more and a sleepy voice answered us.
“What’s going on?” Virgil asked as he turned to watch his two girls. The expression on his face changed immediately. Y/D/N was definitely daddy’s little girl, nothing was supposed to happen to her. I moved the little girl so she could lay in between us.
“I don’t want to go back to bed daddy! Not as long as that monster is still there.” Virgil pulled her into a hug and it made me smile as I watched the scene next to me. “You know, daddy will be able to get rid of the monster. Scare him away,” I told the little girl, who looked over her father’s arm to her mother, before looking back at her father again. “Really?” Virgil nodded as an answer and moved to get up, with our daughter still in his arms. He put her on the ground and held out his hand for her to grab and hand in hand they went over to her own bedroom.

After a while Virgil still hadn’t returned from your daughter’s room, which made me get out of the bed as well and make my way over to the room as well.
“And they lived happily ever after.” A book closed and just as I entered the room, I watched Virgil close the book and put it away. “The monster is gone, the story is over, so you can go to sleep now.”
“But what if the monster returns?” Her voice sounded so small which nearly made me pout at the sound but Virgil knew exactly what to say. “Teddy will be here to protect you. It was actually a secret but I’m sure Teddy will be okay with me telling you. When you are asleep, Teddy has always been there to protect you against the monsters. Teddy is very brave,” he told Y/D/N. She looked at the teddybear, a surprised expression on her face but she grabbed the bear and pressed it closer to her tiny body.
“Goodnight dad.”
“Goodnight babygirl,” Virgil whispered, leaning over and pressing a kiss to the top of her head. He got up from the bed and only noticed you standing there at that very moment. I reached out for him to take my hand and after turning off the lights, we moved back to our own room again. “You were great with Y/D/N just now,” I told him as we got back into bed and Virgil smiled. “Let’s go to sleep,” he told me, pulling me in closer and his long and strong arms wrapped around me. It only took a few moments before I fell asleep once more.
That next morning both of us learned that Teddy had been doing a great job at keeping the monsters away from Y/D/N.
