A/n: this has been sitting in the drafts since 2021,,, I forgot to post it oops. So very late but... here you go! Longer a/n at the bottom. 
L was a good dad. He was protective but not over protective, he was gentle, he was understanding. And although he could be a bit vague and wrapped up in work sometimes, he cared for his daughter a lot. 
He was outmatched by girls having a wife and daughter, but wasn't complaining at all. He was just glad he has a family and could give his child what he never had. And while he always knew this moment would come eventually... he always thought it'd be you who dealt with it. 
But were out right now, off running some errands. He was on the phone with a taskforce overseas, wrapped up in work when the door to his office opened slightly and he spotted his freshly 12 year old daughter giving him a worried look. 
"So the- uh... hang on something just happened I have to call you back" he said, finding an excuse to hang up for a moment. 
When he put the phone down he turned to his daughter. 
"Where's mum?" She asked. 
"Out, getting some case files for me. Why?" He asked. 
"Oh... I just kind of needed to tell her something" 
"Tell me" 
"I-it's fine I can wait" she stammered, slightly worried. 
L knew something was up, and her worry worried him. 
"Cupcake, what's wrong?" He asked. 
She was kind of embarrassed, but she didn't have much choice. Plus, this was her dad after all. An amazing dad as well, surely it'd be ok...
"...where does mum keep her pads?"
Dots connecting in L's head he short circuited for a moment. Already? This young? Well... she was 12. Maybe it was the fact he'd seen her grow up and still viewed her as his little girl that shocked him. 
"Oh- um... hang on" he stammered, caught a little off guard. 
He left the room, daughter awkwardly following him rather embarrassed toward the ensuite of the master bedroom you shared with L. 
"God this is so embarrassing..." she sighed. 
"Cupcake it's normal. You just caught me off guard, I should have known it'd be soon but I guess I'm still viewing you as my little girl..." he replied. 
He felt kind of bad, it was her first one and she seemed pretty uncomfortable and off put by it. He only hoped she wouldn't end up one of those unlucky girls that gets ridiculously bad pains. 
Going into the bathroom cabinet, he grabbed a pack and gave it to her, hoping it was the right kind. It was all there was at the moment so she's have the name do anyway. 
"T-thanks" she replied, clearly uncomfortable. 
L ducked down to her height, knowing he'd have to man up and realise his little girl was growing up now. 
"Cupcake it's ok. I'll tell your mum when she gets back, she'll talk to you about all the gross details. I'm sure you don't want that from me. But if the pain gets really bad tell me ok? I hope you won't end up unlucky and have problems with it. It's annoying enough as it is without extra problems" he explained. 
She felt a little more at ease, but still a little embarrassed. As most pre-teens are about the whole thing. 
"Yeah. Ok thanks dad..." she replied. 
"You want a heat pack?" 
"Yes please" 
"Ok, come get it when you're ready" 
With that they went on opposite directions of the house to carry out their tasks. He'd gotten many heat packs for you in his days so knew just the right temperature for it. Now the slight awkwardness had turned to more of a worry, he was protective of his daughter, he hoped she wasn't in too much pain. 
When she returned, she took the warmed up heat pack from him just as the door could be heard opening from the front of the house. 
"Good timing, she's back" L said. 
"Hey dad..." 
"Yeah?" 
Wrapping her arms around him, she rested her head on his chest. 
"Thanks for not making it weird or anything..." she said. 
"It's normal cupcake, don't stress it. God you're getting tall..." 
"I'll overtake you one day" 
"Don't push your luck miss" 
You walked into the kitchen, putting your bags down on the counter. 
"So much for a 'welcome back my wonderful wife, hello mum" you joked. 
"Darling I think this situation is now yours, I've done my part. Thanks for the case files but I have work to do" L said, taking the bags and placing a kiss on your cheek before walking off. 
You watched him walk off kind of confused. And when you turned to face your daughter and saw the heat pack you connected the dots. 
"Oh god- give him a heart attack?" You snickered. 
"A bit, it was kinda funny" she replied. 
"Alright, I guess it's my turn to take on the situation at hand"


Longer a/n: 
Destigmatise the AFAB reproductive system doing what it was designed to do please and thank you. That was the idea behind this oneshot. 
Anyway, I also wanted to add that this book has 110 chapters, but it isn't a book that gets updated often. So I'm wondering if I should end this book and make a new oneshot book, or keep this one going until I hit the chapter limit. Because this is a side book it wouldn't be an issue if I just kept the oneshots going in here, we don't need a chapter order/system in this book. But keeping them in here would make it get veeerrrrry long and it might get hard to find certain oneshots. 
So I'm putting the option up to you guys. Keep it going in this book, or make a fresh one for the L oneshots?
